 Hi guys, many things happened in my life lately. I don't know where to start but I have a great urge to write a post about clubbing, a post that would help (or not lol) those who have never been to a club (eg: my little sister who turned 18 recently), those who are freaking curious, those who are planning to go to one or those who just want to read a random blog post from me.

 Disclaimer: I don't go to clubs frequently. I have only been to clubs for less than 5 times but everything I am going to write next are the things I have learnt from my past experiences.

 1. Always take care of yourself first 
一定要先照顾好自己














You are not selfish for taking care of yourself first (I am not asking you to ditch your friends). When 
you can look after yourself, you are also giving less troubles to the others.  Don't attempt to look after others when you can't even take care of yourself. You should always remember YOU are your own first priority.

 2. Never block drinks for ANYONE 
永远不要为任何人挡酒

 When I say "anyone", it literally means everyone including that one friend of yours who tells you he/she can't consume any alcohol. This might be one of the weirdest advice you have ever seen but I find this extremely important and I would say this is one of the biggest lessons I have ever learn in my entire life.
Don't be ambitious, no matter how well you can drink, a person with bad intentions who wants you drunk will do whatever it takes to achieve that effect (eg: order a variety of alcohol to make you lose your conscious faster).
"What should I do if someone wants to my friend to drink? He/she is not a good drinker!"
First of all, you are not a "great" drinker yourself. Please mind your own business.
Second, let your friend drink a little (while you keep an eye on him/her by the side) because this is how it works in the club. There will be situations where people buy you drinks and stuff like that.
The moment you thought you're 'rescuing' your friend by finishing all his/her drinks, that someone with bad intentions will switch the focus from your friend to you instead.When you're powerless, he/she (or his/her other evil friends lol) will continue their plan to make your friend drunk. What will happen next is that you will lose your conscious faster than you imagined, you then put both you and your friend(s) in danger.

3. True love don't exist (especially in a club) 
真爱不会出现（尤其是在夜店里）

 According to a study that calculates the possibility of one meeting his/her true love (click here to read more), the odds of meeting your love is 1 in 562 people while talking to people in bars/clubs will increase your odds by 9%. This shows that even if your true love does exist in a club, the probability will still be 1 in 511 people. Another study showed that (click here to read more) the chances of finding love is just 1 in 285,000 people.

Confused with the numbers? In short, the chances of finding you true love is very low, which means 
the chances of finding your true love in a club is even lower. Don't be stupid and think that the random guy who flirted with you is "the one". It's either LUST or INFATUATION.
I hate to break it to you but there is also a high possibility that the random guy is already in a relationship but yet he still choose to flirt with you when his girlfriend is not around. Yes, this happens.

 4. Ladies, please bring some money with you 
要随身带着钱

 Please don't expect the guys to pay all the time. Yes, if he asked you to go to a club, he should offer to pay but this doesn't mean that you don't have to bring any money at all. You never know what would happen. You should also offer to pay for a portion unless the guys insist you not to. Otherwise, be nice and offer to pay.

 5. Club with your trusted friends 
跟信任的朋友们一起去

There will be situations whereby you will be asked to join a party cause someone's baller friend is paying for the whole bill. Don't get tempted to go just because it's free. Nothing comes free, you might not need to pay in cash but they might make you pay even more, in other forms.
Go with friends you trust, friends you can have fun with, friends who would look after you (and vice versa). Don't owe anyone and don't participate in parties when you already know you won't enjoy it genuinely.

6. Avoid wearing a jumpsuit 
尽量不要穿连身衣

Jumpsuits are cute but it can be inconvenient. My friend, "A" once took care of a girl who wore a jumpsuit. "A" told me that the girl had trouble in the washroom because she was drunk and so she could not take off her own jumpsuit to use the toilet lol. So yeah, avoid wearing one just so you could save yourself in the washroom.

7. Eat before you drink; drink after you drink 
喝酒前进食；喝酒后饮水

 A research studied on a group of people who consume alcohol in two separate days- one where they drank with an empty stomach; another where they drank after breakfast. When the participants drink after they had food, the rate of intoxication was much slower and the blood-alcohol levels were lower (click here to read more). So, try not to drink with an empty stomach, always eat something beforehand.

 After the crazy night out, you are most probably gonna experience hangover in the next day. Remember to drinks lots of water because alcohol usually dehydrates our body. For me, I like honey water but everyone has different preferences so find out what works best for you.

8. Never forget to remove your makeup 
永远不要忘记卸妆

 For those who wear makeup, please never ever forget to take off your makeup. Sleeping with makeup harms your skin A LOT. No matter how drunk you are, you must not forget to take off your contact lenses (if you wear them) and makeup. Buy makeup wipes to remove your makeup, they are convenient, easy to carry and simple enough to use especially when you are lazy.

 9. Not everyone who goes clubbing is a bad person 
不是所有去夜店的人都是混蛋

I think many people often have misconceptions towards people who goes clubbing. Not everyone who goes clubbing wants to get laid. Not everyone who goes clubbing uses drugs. Not everyone who goes clubbing is a wh _ _ _ or sl _ _ or f _ _ _ _ _ y. Some people like me and my friends, we just want to unwind, dance and have fun. Don't generalize under the influence of media or simply just because of that one particular person you know.

10. Never drunk drive 
永远不要醉酒驾驶

Those who drunk drive either ruin their cars, their lives or both. Get a Uber/Grab/cab whenever you can. Otherwise, call someone you trust (example: your sister a.k.a me) or someone who is sober to drive you home. Don't force yourself or anyone to drive when they can't even walk in a straight line, it's never worth risking lives like this.

 11. Drunk people are more honest (and they do stupid things) 
喝醉的人都比较老实（而且很会干蠢事）

According to a study, alcohol will kind of slow down or worse, shut down our brain's "alarm signal" which means it makes us care less when we make a mistake or when we say something inappropriate (click here to read more). We know what we are doing even when we are drunk but it just brings out the "I don't give a f" attitude in us. This means drunk people do not undergo a lot of thinking process in their brain. They just do and say whatever they want.

This is when you will learn a lot of things.  You will see one's true colours. You will have friends who ditch you for other guys/girls (I hope you don't). You will have friends who get drunk after a sip of alcohol. You will have friends who is as emotional as Romeo after a drink or two. You will make decisions that you regret the next morning but it's okay, learn from your past mistakes. Remember, everything happens for a damn reason.

 12. Do not conform, make your own decision and have fun! 
不要顺从他人，自己做决定，然后好好享受生活

If you read until here and you feel like "Man, clubbing sounds like a lot of work and precautions", it's totally normal. I know people who think clubbing is a waste of time and money; I also know people who really enjoy it.
People will judge you no matter what you do.
If you go to a club, people will judge you and give you names like "that attention wh _ _ _" , "player" and more.

If you don't, people will still judge you by calling you "boring", "nerd" and so on.                                If you don't feel like going one, don't. 
If you feel like going one, just do it.
Trust your own instincts, do whatever is happy for you because just like what I have mentioned previously- "You should always remember YOU are your own first priority".

 So, I really hope this post would (kinda) give an insight to every single one of you who is currently reading my blog. Thanks for reading anyways!
