drink it

there are a lot of people who still confuse about the type of alcohol beverages. when they drink, they dont even know what they are drinking. some dont even care ... at long as it make you feel good, right? :P

so, what is wine? stout? lager? rum?
what the hell is that???

well, in this post, i would like to share some information about it.

rum

rum is distilled beverage made from sugarcane by- product such as molasses and sugarcane juice by process of fermentation and distillation. then the distillate is usually aged in oak and other barrels.

rum is actually clear in colour but become brown or golden after it has been stored in oak barrel.

light rums are commonly used in cocktails while golden and dark rums are usually drink straight or for cooking. premium rums are also available that made to be consumed straight or with ice. some of the rums can be flavored, too.

the alcohol content for it is usually 40 % to 80%...

wine

wine is made of fermented grape juice. unlike others fruit, the natural chemical balance of grapes can make them ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients.

grape wine

wine can also be produced by others fruits such as apples and berries. but normally it will be named after the fruits such as apple wine and others.

the alcohol content of wine is less than rum which is around 9% to 18 %. higher than beer but lower than brandy.

brandy

brandy is a spirit which produces by distilling wine. the wine is first produced by fermenting grapes the into brandy. nowadays, some brandies are aged in wooden casks, but some are coloured with caramel colouring to produce the effect of aging.

brandy contain much higher alcohol contain than wine although both are produced by grapes juice. it is usually around 36% to 60 % .

whiskey

whisky or whiskey is made from grain mash. different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat and maize or corn. in the making process, most whiskey are aged in wooden casks (oaks) except for some corn whiskey.

whiskey contains about 40 % to 55 % of alcohol.

beer

it is the most common and the oldest alcohol beverage in the world. it is the world's third popular drink after tea and water. :)
beer mostly are made from wheat, barley and other starch sources.

cheers~~

there are three types of beer which are ale, lager and stout. ok, basically ale and lager taste about the same. they are just differ in the making process. ale uses top fermenting yeast and produced in warm temperature ( 15C to 24C) while lager uses bottom fermenting yeast and produced in cold temperature ( less than 12C )

stout

stout is actually a type of ale but uses roasted malts and barley as its ingredients. thats why it is black in colour!

alcohol contain for beer is usually about 2 % to 7 %.

***

well, actually there are A LOT more type of alcohol drinks available such as vodka, tequila, sake, arrack bla~~ maybe i will introduce more about them in the future.
c ya....

warning... alcohol is healthy if taken moderately but deathly if overdosed.

short update

it was just like the other night. a little bit cold and very quite... as usual... except the sound of my musics.. i was about to start my preparation for my dinner in harold and vyner's room when suddenly....

puff....

everything went dark...

s***!!! blackout!!!

three of us went blur for a while and tried to figure out what to do next.. without electricity, nothing can be done including the dinner!!!

all that we felt during that moment was.... HUNGRY..!!!

looking out the window, the whole area was swallowed in darkness and deep silence...
rather than becoming the food for mosquitoes, we went outside the block to wait. wishing that the light will come back asap so that we can prepare our dinner soon. at that time, calvin, tamil and arun were already outside also.


looking at the dark sky... with some stars...
well, it was quite enjoyable also to experience the once a while complete silence with darkness in the middle of night. only the sound of moving tree leaves and crickets can be heard at the moment. it made me miss the kampung a lot. meanwhile, cold wind which constantly caressing our skin make us feel relaxing. we chat for about 30 minutes before the light came back finally.

realizing that time wasnt by our side anymore as it was too late to start cooking our dinner, we went tronoh to have our dinner in the end. ^^

love

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.


When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"

"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going.

When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.

Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder,

"Who Helped me?"

"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,

"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

looking back my old posts, especially about the my last cameron trip, i really feel like having it again.

thinking back, i should have post something about the trip in this blog once i was back last monday. i really want to.. but.. thanks to all those pending works and tests..

well, in short, I LOVE CAMERON !!!

if i have given another chance, i wish that i can stay there. dont mind eating strawberry everyday or whether it is a small place or not. when i was there, i really admire the people's lifestyle. kinda slow and peaceful.. from what i observed, a 50 years old man in cameron looks like in his 30s, while here, a 30 years old man looks like 50 years old!!! i beg you all know why~~~
