Present, Alcoholic

It's been a long time since my whole family got together to dine outside on a weekday, thanks to mum and dad needing to clear their leave. Finally we can spend some quality time all day long. Went to Kopitiam @ Compass Point to dine. I have not come here for a long time and am so not surprised to see some changes. The new Kopitiam is.. well, still kinda similar to the old one in layout. They changed the ambience so that it's not so gloomy and the tables and chairs are lighter and smaller to accomodate more customers. That certainly did the trick as we managed to find seats in no time at all.

I've recently been addicted to something that's so bad, it's only restricted for people above 18. It's... alcohol. Ever since the chalet when I tasted Jasmine's Vodka and champagne, I've been trying to test my limits whether how much percentage alcohol I can take. Mum says dad's a bad drinker but she can hold hers pretty well. I must have inherited her genes I guess, now I can accompany mum when she drinks. So when I requested that we buy some alcohol after dinner, I was surprised mum didn't rein me down with her health talk on the consequences of alcohol.

That came with one condition, and that was mum would be the one choosing what to buy. So, while I looked hungrily at the Vodka, mum chose Choya (as in the one in which an armed samurai drank and shed her armour to reveal a woman in kimono).

With great power comes great responsibility. Being above 18 years meant that there are lots more things my parents would 'push' me to do. For the past year, they have been asking me to help them buy 4D. Most of the time I would make the cut, but sometimes the dealer would demand I show my IC. This time it was me to foot the bill again, as those 3 just stood outside to wait. This was always a exciting experience for me, waiting to see if people thought I was mature enough. Again, I have succeeded, I must look older now.
