Marche & St. James - 17/May'08
Its been a long long time since I blogged here. Have been blogging on Friendster cos I actually wanna change my blogskin, but was too lazy, haha. So I finally gathered my lazy bones and got it done last night and finished at 5am only.
Went Marche and St. James on 17/May with colleagues (Jocelyn and Grace), Jocelyn's bf, ex-colleagues (Alan and Shawn) and Hubby. It was a super hot day and I think the entire day I was sweating. We were supposed to meet at 7pm but due to the jam, the others reached ard 8pm. There was a super long queue at Marche by then, so me and Hubby decided to queue first while waiting for the others. It was humid and uncomfortable, but lucky the staff actually offered some sample cups of cold lemon tea (a tad too sweet to my liking though =p).
When it was finally our turn, only Alan had arrived by then, so we ordered some food and drinks first while waiting for the rest to come. Got to eat the rostti and cheese sausage, mushrooms etc (no pics cos too hungry liao). Chatted (or rather gossip a bit, lol), laughed and lots of eating. Its been quite some time since we have gathered together like this.
After filling our stomachs, we headed to the Food Republic Foodcourt. Not to eat lah, u think we are cows with 4 stomachs? The "uncles" (aka the guys) wanted to drink kopi, pengz. So headed there and searched high and low for a table cos there were 7 of us, so kindda hard to find a table to accomodate all of us. Alan was busy on the phone most of the time cos of work, poor chap. After the guys had their kopis, we headed to St. James. Jocelyn's bf and Alan did not go with us as one was unwell and the latter had to head back to office. We told Alan to join us after his work was done and that we'll be waiting for him.
There was no queue at Power House which we had made a reservation. 1st round of drinks, me and Hubby had Bourbon Coke, the standard drink we always order and Hubby ordered a jug of Long Island Tea which the others don't drink and we had to finish between us. Seriously don't know why he ordered that cos I still feel only Zouk's Long Island Tea is nice and it was so ex, moreover didn't ask the rest if they wanna drink this or not. Usually 1-2 glasses of Long Island Tea at Zouk can make me quite "seh", but Power House's version was kindda yucky and no kick.
2nd round of drinks, I had vodka ribena and Hubby had rum coke (he really loves Coke). I think at Marche he drank Coke too. Still feeling ok, not much people and the music was still not really to my type. Then... we decided to open a bottle (one of the conditions in order to have a table). Ta dah, we ordered Martell VSOP, haha. So the whole night was spent drinking, dancing, toilet trips and chatting (or rather shouting cos music too loud?). In the meantime was smsing Alan to keep pester him to finish work and join us asap, hehe.
Around 12+am, another colleague and his gal joined us. Somehow the table next to us kept toasting to us a few times, think they were being friendly cos we let them share table with them, lol. By 3am, we were kindda tired and the songs were getting boring, so decided to move off. Still half bottle of Martell which I suppose have to keep for another time.
There was a long queue at Dragonfly, so we decided not to queue. Moreover, we had a colleague's wedding to attend the next day at 1pm. Me, hubby and Jocelyn shared a cab back, while the others drove back. By the time we reached home, removing my makeup, shower etc, was like 4+am liao. So lied on the bed, watch tv a bit and fell asleep soon. Somehow falling asleep and waking up in his arms is a blissful feeling, hehe. *blush*
