The Secret to Long Life

After a sinful meal of Or-luak (oyster omelette), satay (grilled pork on a stick served with peanut sauce) and hokkien mee (noodles stir-fried with prawns, calamari and rich seafood/pork stock)
we adjoined to Vince's place for  single malt and chocolate.


"Good Nose", "Full Bodied", "Hint of Sherry" - words El and Vince were using as they were tasting the 8 different types of single malt that Vince had laid out on the table...all came in lovely shaped bottles - except for one that looked and smelt like moonshine. i was happy with water and chocolate - WOE is the driver at such events!

In the midst of the tasting, Vince fascinated us with stories of his Whiskey-trail in Ireland, and said "Do you know the secret to Long Life?" He explained that he stayed at an Irish Monastery during that trip to Ireland. All the monks who stayed there were old  and healthy. "AHA" said he...so whats the secret? the water? fresh air? organic produce? In a just a few days, he observed the answer: Passion for whatever you do, and a WICKED sense of humor! 


PASSION FOR WHATEVER YOU DO AND A WICKED SENSE OF HUMOR - i must remember that...so ....stay clear whiners and negative energy inducers - gravitate towards those who want a shorter life-span - as for me, I will look out for the call of laughter
