Weekend ... so far so good...

Had dinner with my 2 hilarious colleagues on fri nite.  One is back from London for home visit so we took some time to catch up.  This funny guy had me in stitches with his funny annecdotes & gestures.  Great company ... too bad it had to end early because of his some other prior engagements.

Later had dessert & drinks with another friend in Raffles Hotel.  Dessert at Seah Street Deli was disappointing.  How dare they charge so much for 2 small pieces of chocolate cake (which they claimed as brownies) and a miserable scoop of nondescript vanilla ice cream.
Eeeks.

And I think its the last time I would go to Long Bar.  The live band can only entertain people of my parents' age and before.  Drinks were of course exorbitant.  I pay $20 for a tin can of Kilkenny.  Geez.  Ok, but we finally tried Singapore's famous drink - Singapore Sling.  What's the big deal ? I seriously do not know. 

After that somewhat disappointing experience at Long Bar.  We were basically hoping places.  Went to the Loof - a drinking place on the roof top of Odeon Towers.   Really nothing much so we left without a drink.  Not sure what got to me but I then agreed to try out St James Powerhouse.  Aiyo a place that had been there for ages, but a place I have NEVER been interested in checking out.  Nonethess, went with the intent for me to "explore" the place and up my HIPness factor a wee bit :P

Places like dragonfly, firefly and what nots that play hokkien and canto-pop are seriously not my interest.  Beats me why there were young adults queuing up to enter dragonfly.  Finally we hopped to Movida where we thought we could agree with the music.  Place turned out ok.  Music was alright.  SADLY, the only person whom chatted me up that night was a gal!!!! AIYO, what a disappointment!  Cover charges for St James : $20 for men, $15 for ladies.  Cheap.

Sat mrn was spent in the gym swimming and spinning.  Good workout.
Then finally placed a deposit at the travel agency for my upcoming holiday.  YAY!!  So happy!

For the lack of sleep from Fri nite (only managed about 3 hours), I crashed at 7+ on Sat nite.  So tired I couldn't drag myself out of bed for my LSD this mrn.  Convinced myself that since I'm not training for any event, I could afford to slack.  Argh, hope I don't use this excuse too often!!!

Enough slacking, LSD next week!
