NIGHT OUT

Was it on Saturday?

Everything is a blur to me now...

Anyway... went to Central for dinner with a group of Singapore, Hong Kong and German friends. Went to this place known as Dragon i... Extravagantly decorated with red laterns and a contrasting black background complete with bar tables and authentic Chinese and Japanese cusines. A hybridization of east and west... the words that spring to mind is a paradox.. traditonal and yet Bohemian...

In fact, it is a dining place where round tables and sofas will be removed at around eleven.. transformin the place virtually into a disco club.

Therez even a model night... so models get free drinks and food --- selling point for attractin MORE customers...

Oh... and a peripheral point (though I see that as a MAIN attraction too.. er hem.. call me a "frog in the well".. whatever...) the washrooms are retro. These are unisex cubicles with a total metallic look... For some reason, it reminds me of matrix.

If I've known it will look this good.. I would have brought my phone camera juz to take a photo of the loo. (Right... I admit I do sound like a yokel.)

Anyway.. the bill comes out impressive as well... if I am not wrong.. it costs HK$2068+ for the nine of us there. Well... maybe therez a high maintenance fee for the loo?

Switched the location to a petite and cozy jazz bar along one of the shophouses.. located on the 5th floor. It seems to be a residence-turned-pub bar.

The band that was playin that day is known as the Kentohead. They played a few cantopop in a jazz rendition as well as other songs like Disney's A whole new world and Sway.


Jazz band at Blue Door Jazz Bar...

Well... at around midnight.. went on to Causeway Bay to M bar.

A few drunked men were juz vomitin along the street. Anyway, I was talkin on the phone outside the bar and a Caucasian man who reminds me of Tom Hanks in Cast Away was obviously zonked... and havin trouble walkin...

Looked as though he would lunge over me.

But is a really interestin night... though I smell like a walkin cigarette by then.

Thaz part of the actions of the city that never sleeps.

Btw... anyone interested in music and bands... check out this website on some local music functions Music in the City

Ciaoz.

A piece of life from the "democracy wall" on the guys' floor.


It says:
I've brought here the family version of "Animal Biscuits".
The weather has turn cold. Brothers* are recommended to wear more clothes** and don't expose too much of your muscles.

From: A female resident

*Brothers and sisters are the way they addressed residents in the hall. (Doesn't it remind you of Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act and Sister Act 2?)

** "Clothes" is written as "3" on the board. It has the same intonation with clothes in cantonese. (I think is true for mandarine as well.)

Well... I am glad I don't suffer from any of these....

I mean.. I still get lost tryin to figure out my own street number...

I actually pretend to be new in the area when a cabbie ask me how to go to my street...

Normally it goes like this...

"Which steet do you live in?"

"St. 62" (or is it 63.... erm... )

"Can you tell me when to make a turn?"

"Errrr..... is kinda near to Jurong Point...

Actually...

I juz moved in..."


See.... save the embarrassment of not knowin ur way home...

Basically.. I have "juz moved in" for more than ten times..

There are some variations too..

Like pretending to be from overseas...

So all u need to do is make comments like..

"Streets in Singapore are so confusing..." **shake head**

There...

n normally the cabbie will agree.

Laa~

The weather is freakin cold today.

Ok...

but I'm wearing shorts so I shouldnt be complainin.

A Sunday that goes wasted.

In the end...

I juz surf net for the whole day.

Went to check out some blogs of people from my hall. It seems to be a trend for them to use XaNga BloGger instead of blogspot.

Went on Soccernet ... check on the results of Saturday matches....

Glad that Man Utd still won despite missing out the tailsman in Roy Keane...

Right...

I know I am beginnin to bore people with soccer stuff again...

Juz real deprived of EPL matches...

DaMn..

Is kinda cold.. n is makin me real sleepy...

YawNzz...

Jet- Look what you've done

A song I started using as my handphone melody...

Take my photo off the wall

If it just won't sing for you

'Cause all that's left has gone away

And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

Oh well, it seems like such fun

Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view

'Cause I just can't think for you

I can hardly hear you say

What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

Oh well, it seems like such fun

Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall

If it just won't sing for you

'Cause all that's left has gone away

And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

Oh well, it seems like such fun

Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done

You've made a fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

A fool of everyone

I think it's a nice song... :)
