memories from travels.. (beware the wares)

Its catchup time again. I had no idea that there were so many notes/blogs I wrote on my facebook profile - but ideas seem to flow swifter there.

anyway, on with the show. This blog was written on 29 Jan 2009, about an event in April 2008. go figure.

I'm sorting through and tagging my old photos on Flickr now.

for those who don't know it, i take pictures. reluctantly, but i do it. (I call myself a reluctant photographer). Having joined Flickr for what i thought was just "a short moment of distracting fun", the hobby or distraction has turned out to become something more serious.

I'm now trying to remember each picture, and tagging it with the proper tags for sorting and easy management.

while doing that, i've suddenly spotted something from one of my older pictures - and with it, the story behind it. Thought I'd share it here.

See that shop? beware its wares

while i was here for a business trip, i was supposed to meet up with my manager at this location. He was late erm.. i mean, delayed. (managers are never late) - and i was bored, so i decided to try a wee portion of that cherry liquor (Ginjinha) from that place.

oops. shouldn't have done that. more than half my brains died and the remaining bits were threatening to leave me. I was so affected by the alcohol that i had to keep walking or risk something worse.

my manager arrived about 30 minutes later.. and i was still so stupid that i told him upfront - "Hope you don't need me to be at my smartest. I tried one of these things and I'm still trying to entice my brain cells to come back"

oops.
