Morning walk at Penuin/BCS area during my November 2020 Batam trip and some "words" in this liquor shop in the penuin area caught my attention,hehehe...it says
"life is better when you are drunk".
Recently paid uncle curry rice a visit, he shares with me there was one old uncle in his early 70s at the coffee shop, who would visit Batam alone on his Saturday off days and comes back to Singapore on a Sunday for a drink at one of the food court (in Batam).
Staying in Swiss Inn Hotel in his every trip. So i guess he must have been at a2 food court most of the time.
Batam seems to be a nice place to kill time when one has lots of it on hand, arent it? Hehehe...
Cost should roughly be about S$50 (hotel room), ferry should cost about S$38 on average, drinks and food should be no more than S$30. Let's just call transport at S$10. Total amount would not have cost more than S$128.
With a S$150 budget, there should be no problem having one shot for a 2D1N trip,hehehe...and looking at what the liquor shop wrote at its glass door reminds me of a Chinese proverbs...
对酒当歌 人生几何？
“对酒当歌，人生几何？”是一句名言。对着美酒，伴随着歌舞，人生时间有限。这里讲“人生几何”意是人生时间有限，不是叫人“及时行乐”，而是要及时地建功立业。后也用来指及时行乐。
Meaning :
对酒当歌 - I lift my drink and sing a song
人生几何 - For who knows if life be short or long
The poem or song was from the Romance of the 3 Kingdom by Cao Cao's 短歌行. Below is the full version of it and in English translation. Only those who are interested should click on the spoiler icon. DO NOT click the spoiler button if you do not wish to read poems (with trnaslation).

...and its actual teaching/meaning.
及时地建功立业。后也用来指及时行乐。
And in my own translating words:
We try our best to build our own version of Empire hopefully on time during our young days, after which we must also find time to enjoy ourselves in our remaining life.
Life is better when you are drunk? Hehehe...to each its own, i guess. Hehehe...this is just another one of my 5% meaningless post that are topic related.
