'Sua ku' but cool discovery

Last wed June and I decided to explore and check out the Club Street area before going for dinner at Chinatown after work. It was just the lane somewhere behind our office so like why not? Have heard so much bout it and its quite 'sua ku' if I know nothing bout the place.

It is almost similar to Haji Lane at Bugis but slighty more happening? Quite alot of retail shops that are like those of Haji Lane, rather pricey with those designer/street labels stuff. Many eating/chilling places that are rather nice to hang out after work.

Our first cool discovery is this place which covers all the five floors of one part of the shophouses. We were actually given an introduction and tour by one of the friendly staff there, probably the manager. The place had just opened not long and will have its official opening in 2 weeks time. Was trying to hint the guy for invites actually but failed. ha. Guess it is only open to the media and stuff...

1st floor: Restaurant. Not too big of an area but cozy and comfortable enough kind of space.
2nd floor: Studio (if I am not wrong). Fully equipped with whatever a director/movie maker-wannabe needs. This is like the most totally cool part...
3nd: Screening room. Which showcases a number of international films for example u can catch Infernal Affairs etc... Or you could even bring your own disc. Quite a small and cozy private room with a few comfy plush sofas, good enough to go with a date or hold corporate events. (ooh.. it would be damn nice if I could go with my boyfriend, that is if I can find one SOON.) However, there is a price of $20 to pay for each person. And I understand it is quite hard to pay so much for a movie that does not even include a drink, but trust me, it is comparable to the GV Gold Class theater. You can get a package price if you need to book the whole room for yourself. There is bar right outside the room for you to get drinks from, and it has 2 small tvs there so you wouldnt have to miss any part of the show if you have to use your mobile or something.
Rooftop: Alfresco bar. Ok I cant remember what happened to the 4th floor, probably more screening rooms? This is like a much smaller version of Loof but does not have the kind of scenery up there.

The next cool place is where I have been wanting to check out, a classy hotel actually. Scarlet! thats right! I must make sure my future boyfriend brings me there next time! The place is so damn sexy and romantic for dates la! I could just imagine how perfect the place would be... but it will be better if I could experience it with my other half. Simply love the rooftop dining area. I love open spaces alot. They have another more classy restaurant on the 2nd floor though. 1st floor will be the bar which has couches that are so damn tall, plushy and classy looking that all girls would love without fail. They really did a good job on the decos. Everywhere is simply beautiful. Even in the lift and toilet! I am sure the rooms are even better. We caught this really cute and jap-looking guy in the lift while we were trying to get back to the first floor. So anime-looking guy la if you can picture that. Afterwhich we went to check out the toilet. So typical right! Do what? Take photos of course! Well... we attempted to take photos of ourselves in the mirror for a couple of times but we failed. Either we were too tiny, cant angle the cam or it came out blur. So I am just left with this one below:

So fairytale-like rite?

"Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of us both?"

That was our last stop and we went for dinner at Maxwell Food Centre. That was not the end of our day though. Went walking around for awhile and chatted quite a bit after that before heading home.

I love that. Chilling out and stuff. I really wish that my friends would have more time to spend with me. Somehow they are drawing further away from me. But I do understand that everyone of them have their own lives, work, their own friends and colleagues to be busy with. I have been trying really hard to mantain our relationship but there is a limit and I am getting tired of this. Getting tired of waiting for them to make things happen for me. But actually, I know that IT'S ME WHO IS GONNA MAKE THINGS HAPPEN! I recently came across this quote:

"Don't let someone become a priority in your life when you are just an option in their life."

Which I try not to. Why should I put them on top of my list when I am just at the bottom of theirs? I thought that I should show more concern to them besides sincerity, which I think no one gives a damn about. Still, I was wrong. Only if you could gossip with them enough, amuse them enough then they consider you a friend. That is such a difficult task for me. Here goes my gumbling again... Yea, and there is this other "Branda" again in the office, who are like ever so eager to talk about herself and make her presence know. Never have the time to listen or allow someone speak (yea thats me... again). You know what she makes me do only? Roll my eyes. Some people just talk so shallow...

... I am just waiting for the perfect guy to dominate my world only.

Last thing, I have to mention this sucky hairsalon and hairdresser I went to near my work place, Lala Salon. La ge pi! Expensive and the hairdresser is so inexperienced. Not only did I tell him what style I wanted I even showed him the picture la! And he still needed me to direct him. Sorry, but who is the expert here man? And I had to go back the next day to let him trim the uneven part. Luckily I work that area man. Even when i had pointed out that uneven part from the start when he started to trim, and repeating constantly for 3 times. I blew my top and told him to stop scratching my scalp with his nails. He did that for a period of almost 10 seconds while trying to act professional! Nevermind if he was done wth the trimming but after snipping off qite a bit of hair i still saw the bunch of hair sticking out the bottom of my left hand side. How could I keep my cool still with that kind of pain I had to endure without him doing the simple job I wanted him to do. It only had to take the most 2 mins top. It was also the the longest haircut of my life. About an hour minus the washing part. I felt my blood rushing up my head and my face turned red almost immediate when I asked him to stop his shit. Think it did scare him a bit. That is the whole point right? So that he could do get on with the job and let me leave that fucking place. Thank god no more nonsense already and eventually he trimmed it off. What the hell was he thinking when I keep pointing it out in the mirror and holding the hair that was needed for him to cut? I think he is simply a failure. U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D W-A-T I A-M T-R-Y-I-N-G T-O S-A-Y Y-O-U S-T-U-P-I-D M-A-L-A-Y-S-I-A-N?

Going back there again is definitely a NO! If I wasnt as desperate for a haircut that day and put some efoort to travel a little, I would have gone to Fareast or Chapter2 for the haircut which would actually be much cheaper and definitely worth it. Cant imagine I had to take all the shit for the fact that I had to pay 32 bucks for it!

Yea my hair is short again...

... and I will be trying out for the 2nd time at the SIA interview with this hairstyle. =/ Well, not that bad, quite chic too... =}

Jet Shine On '07

Had a great night at Jet's concert this evening. However, I think that it could have been better if I had been a fan of theirs. What I could only do was to wait patiently for these two songs to be performed: Look What You've Done and Are You Gonna Be My Girl. But overall it was a good performance put up by the band. THEY ROCK MAN! The band Firebrands who performed before the start of the concert (reminds me of Ayam Brand), local if I am not wrong, was very entertaining too.

And just now there was this incident where an 'Ang Mo' guy who was wearing an old fashioned, extremely black sunglasses put his arm around my shoulders. I was like "whose hand is that?" Not too bad looking... but he ran away shortly after I had turned to look at him. Boo... gone just like tt. Harry Porter lookalike was also spotted and he was like so cute la! Basically, there were quite a large number of 'Ang Mos' present. Quite a number of them are cute too... hehe...

Anyways, in case you want to get a feel of tonight's party, I have included the two videos I had taken below. Enjoy!

Look What You've Done

Are You Gonna Be My Girl

Rock my world, JET!

Going for Jet's Shine On cooncert at Fort Canning tonight after work all thanks to "my sponsor" Nokia.

Tried my luck on their online quiz last week and I just won a pair of tickets! As simple as that!

Damn. It did not occur to me that I should bring along my sister's camera until June mentioned it to me. Gotta pray hard that my hp will be good enough to take some decent pictures. =}

This is basically how my life is for now.

Hey hey... it has been a long time if you have realised. And I am back for good!

Last week was my first week of work at EurekaHedge, and boy do I love my job. Cant believe I would say this actually cause I fear that it would be like any of my other part time jobs - quit shortly after a few months. Though I cant really stand doing desk-bound jobs, I really like working there with those people. My department people are great, especially my supervisor.
-Casual wear everyday of the week (not for my first week though. How can I not dress up a little after all the shopping I have done?)
-Flexible lunchtime

Basically it is quite a relax, slack, own-pace kind of environment. Moreover the pay is quite acceptable for a fresh diploma holder like me. And I do really thank God (ok I am not really a very religious kind of person) for landing me this job even though I had 3 months to slack around. Not forgetting I was doing part time for a few jobs during that period. Otherwise I couldnt have survived with the kind of spending habits I have.

Oh, and thank God there is an eye candy in the office. At least I have something to look forward to everyday when I go to work. However, I dont see him much cause I am actually stranded on the 2nd floor of the office. ={ What more to even TALK to him. I was thinking to myself like whats the point, definitely no chance for me. I have never ever belonged to this group of good looking people. I am actually not really into these high egoistic kind of people but he seems decent and down-to-earth enough. Or at least thats my impression of him for now. Just when tt happens, he came up to the 2nd floor get his laptop for his overseas trip. (Happened to find that out fom the receptionist. And I really envy those sales persons. Not only high salary they draw but also the chance to travel overseas. That reminds me of my SIA dream. =/) And he actually stopped by at my desk for a minute or two to read Today papers. For that few seconds I couldnt really concentrate on what I was doing. Slightly too conscious of my every move. No words exchanged again, except this time round its "this is today's" and "thanks". I was almost too shocked, too dazed from staring at pc for long periods to say something. Say... some pickup line? haha. The same goes when the water dispenser at the pantry downstairs had disfunctioned. I am the first person to see when anyone actually comes up to the 2nd floor, which I did not have any time to react when he asked me for my floor's dispenser and I had my earphone's plugs on. I was hoping that they wouldnt replace the one downstairs that soon but it wasnt what I had expected the following Monday. Oh gosh, could you just grant me another chance to talk to him? or get to know him better? However I do agree that sometimes its better to let someone see you from afar, leaving a good impression, rather than seeing all your flaws up close. Which of course nothing will eventually happen in this case. =/

I know I sound a bit psychotic but I think this phrase will wear out after some time so bear with me for now. And bout the thing that I heard he is gay, I really dont want to think too much about it. But that would really keep him off my mind. I am quite fine with it although its like what a waste... really.


Get a life ya? I know... but the thing is that I dont! These are the little stupid things that will keep me busy for awhile.
