Its the 8th day of the chinese new year.. and i'm now back at the office. It has been 9 days (including 2 weekends) since I've stepped into the office.. and i'm still trying to adjust to work. Nearly forgotten my log in password today.. I think i really need to paste the password under my keyboard in future. Had about 200 emails to clear... That's bad... But now..i just wanna blog.. not in the mood for work.
I hate to admit this.. but my not so newly done acrylic nails are really making typing a chore... and I really miss my short nails.. (paste nail picture here)
This year's CNY was a little played down... Elvis came back as usual... I really cannot remember where we went to each day..so i'm just gonna summarize. i really must take more photos..
We started out going to this pub at Keong Saik road called 1819. Nothing special.. just a small corner near the back door of the pub..which leads to the smoking area.
You usual public K pubs... and one pool table. Then we "upgraded" to this place at Cantonment Road called Le Bar.. Its really like a 3 storey pre-war shophouse turned into another usual k pub plus 1 pool table place.. except that they did up the 3rd storey into a private room. Minimum spending of $500.00 and you can have the whole room to yourself.. The decor of the room is really quite cosy... let's see... let me describe... ermz... black carpets with big black velvet couches... some in the shape of lips.. big big black velvet throw pillows.. one big bar counter ... private karaoke machine... 2 flat screen tvs.. and white wall paper with embossed black roses on it..also..big black chandeliers very St. James MONO...The first night i wasd there.. i sang until my throat turned sore... i really sang from 8pm to 4am... with nobody to hog mike with...
We went to Lunar for one night.. that wasn't quite enjoyable.. the whole place was so smoky... i know.. "hypocrite" i'm a smoker.. but really... imagine an air-conditioned room feeled with 20 over smokers puffing away... i swear... its so smoky.. u can't even see the person sitting opposite you.. By the time i came out.. i smelt like one huge cigarette!!!! No need to go Genting Highlands..
For most nights we hung out at Elvis' new crib at No. 10 Vanda Road. Though, not as big as the Victoria Park Road one.. but really chic enough. As usual.. 2 tables.. one for the guys to play their card games and drink their Macallans. Another table for the girls.. to.. ermz... what else chit chat.. ok ok ok ... gossip!!!
Most nights at Vanda Road were pretty boring.. we just sat around and discussed how tired we were to the point till we were too tired to speak.. hahahaha
Dinner was spent at.. hmmz... let's see... there was one night the gang went to the thai restaurant at goodwood park... and had shark's fin... i didn't go.. we went to this Teochew restaurant called Ah Hoi at Mosque Street... for some steamed fish... the steamed "Cong" fish aka promfret was going at $60.00 per fish...its crazy...
We also went to Long beach for dinner.. the crab was quite good.. but caused me a nail though!!! shit!!! When i went to the mani parlour near my place... meaning to get a new nail... they quoted me $18. For one stupid nail... NO SHIT!!!
We also went to Geylang Lorong 36 for turtle soup.. NO thank you very much!!!!
There were nights where we had bbq food at elvis's place.. As usual.. my ah boon was doing all the bbq-ing... but the food was good.!!!
Some nights the maids cooked... but super spicy.. i nearly died!!!
All in all to date... they cleared 65 bottles of Macallans... This is crazy.. and still counting..
