when 24 hours a day is not enough

A summary of my sunday :
Went to work on a rainy morning just as dawn was breaking and the amazing part was , i have not slept a wink because after getting a swollen upper lip after yesterday's incident , i went to sleep and woke up feeling pretty much charged up at 1am and couldn't sleep at all after that.
The infamous Mr.Gopi came to work with a fine temper , kicking empty boxes and picking on his staff ( what an asshole ) and it was a pity that he stayed in the kitchen for the rest of my shift because i was planning to secretly record his faux accent when serving angmoh customers.
Damnnnnnnnnnn.
Headed to IMM to show support for Sam who was taking part in Mediacorp's "Project Superstar" contest but since my work ended pretty late her 15 seconds of fame was over when i rushed over and sadly she didn't get through the second round of auditions.
Decided on a whim to chill out at Boat Quay with Sam , Fee and Wan and i wanted to park our asses at Tony's pub but he's gone back to Vietnam so we walked around Circular Road for awhile and stumbled onto Eski Bar.
YES , THAT FAMOUS SUB ZERO BAR !
I was quite surprised to see it there cus' i thought it was located at Tanjong Pagar but turns out that they had opened a new branch .
We were intrigued and couldn't resist the temptation of bringing new meaning to the phrase "chilling out" .
We were given parkas to wear and being the swa-koos that we all were , started snapping photos while sipping on our jug of Cranberry Vodka which costed a whopping $35 .
The place is divided into two areas , the sub-zero area and the not-so-cold area.
The temperature at the sub-zero area was a numbing -5 degrees while the latter maintained at a more comfortable temp of 8 degrees which was still cold to the sweaty bodies of locals but perfect for me.
The place was pretty small as well , just like the rest of the watering holes in that area and the decor was quite space-age though it reminded me of the retro era for some reasons and the music was excellent , not sure about the genre but the best bet's downtempo.
Yep , we look pretty snug and warm under those bulky parkas at the sub-zero area but hell no ! We were all wearing short skirts and open-toed footwear .
green.
Looking quite sleepy and yes , the swelling has subsided already. Hallejujah ! And you , stop scrutinising my upper lip for any signs of a moustache !
frozen pornstars.
Kudos for this novel concept but just like any concept , the novelty will wear off eventually but i guess it isn't so bad for this bar cus' they can always just adjust the temperatures and it will be just like any other pub.
Verdict ?
Great for those get-together sessions as music's isn't too loud but you're definitely advised to be properly attired. Drinks are damn expensive compared to the other pubs nearby and they don't serve beer in jugs , only in small bottles ! WTF!?
We made the stupid decision of spending the rest of the night at the club formerly known as Hendrix . Queen's ( or Queenz ? Dunno la. ) is synonymous with Mats and Minahs and will most probably trigger off a fit if mentioned to any frequent clubber .
Actually i don't really like it when people look down on places that they don't frequent , e.g
Fiona : I'm going to Cheeky's later..
XXX : WHAT ! THAT DISGUSTING PLACE !??!
Okay i admit , i'm guilty of making fun of Sparks but doesn't everyone :p
As the saying goes .. One man's poison is another man's meat.
Okay i digress.
I was so tired after being deprieved of sleep that i really didn't feel like clubbing , especially on a sunday night but the rest seemed quite enthusiastic so i tagged along.
It was pretty fun at first as we played silly drinking games at the al-fresco area then as the night progressed we got bored and the place was really quite empty , which isn't very surprising so Sam and I decided to head home , leaving Fee and Wan with some quality time together. :D
I think i'm gonna stop clubbing for at least two weeks .. Feeling quite jaded already and all the smoke and alcohol is showing on my face !!
Alright, my laptop's running out of juice ..
Later , folks .
