Wieder laufen gegangen | Die 1. Probe: Dawn Monk

Hallo ihr alle da draussen...today i finally began to seriously work on my tan...bought a bottle of Dark Tanning Oil (only SPF 4!) by Banana Boat...and yes i am topless running these days...today, i decided to take the Hillview route...but...much to my chagrin, i have become unfit! Maggots. I stopped...thrice...sigh...i think i am just wasting away. I should go for more Life Runs and seriously keep up with running on weekends. I could use a tan as well anyway...

Guess what? The oil works. Well. The parts which were already tanned from the past week just got darker...whereas the other parts still need some working on. Never mind, soon, soon! Once we move to the new block and can go swimming regularly, there'll be plenty of sunshine and tanning to go around! Then i can go sunshine!

Maybe i should have bought the SPF 0 oil. Golden-brown in seconds! Like a standard roasting. Haha.

Dawn Monk

Why the strange moniker? Because...if you guys have heard of a Tequila Sunrise, this is a Sunrise, except that it's done with Bénédictine herbal liqeuer. Show you a picture later. Anyway, this liqeuer originated from a holy brotherhood of monks...thus the name.

60ml Bénédictine
120ml orange juice
15ml grenadine syrup

Build the Bénédictine and the juice in a ice-filled glass. After that, pour the grenadine straight into the centre of the drink. Stir to see the sun rise!


Interestingly, this tastes overwhelmingly of orange juice...but you can still detect the herbal flavours of Bénédictine in it. Incidentally, i tasted it just now...it tastes like nectar. Hahaha. Still, interesting, a way to drink D.O.M. if you don't really like the herbal tones. Ack.

Doubt yours truly could take it on the rocks, anyway.
