'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... =}
