Congrats to IKEA on its new Tampines outlet. Happy shopping because those Flat-packed items are NOT "easy to transport" (contrary to what they say). They were so heavy and bulky, it was downright ridiculous to lug them to the cashier/checkout counter first, before going to the delivery counter to tell them to deliver the items. I mean, if we are already gonna use the delivery service, u might as well collect everything for us! Due to the fact that we've got too much things to purchase, THAT IS WHY WE NEED DELIVERY, right? Just because you're the biggest (and probably the most powerful) charity organisation in the world doesnt warrant you making us suffer for your capitalist ways. Furniture + $40 delivery charge + 5% assembly fees will probably come up to the usual price you get at your heartland furnishing shop. Plus, they probably have better service. I had the most awful shopping experience on Wed. I wonder how my Dad managed to settle everything flawlessly a few years ago. Anyhow, I feel stupid for being duped by their annual glamourous catalogue-magazines showcasing all the gorgeous interiors, enticing us to spend money... Grrr. Our beloved giant money-guzzling organisation just got bigger & better! The only redeeming thing is their meatballs. Haha.
Well, after that nightmarish day, i rushed home and then out to meet my greatly missed girlfriends at cityhall. It was a girls night out. They wanted to go MOS for the Levis Party & i couldnt dissuade them cause they probably wanted the FREE goodie bags. Haha. FYI, the queue snaked all the way to coffeeclub. So we decided TCC was more exciting, since i havnt had a proper dinner yet. By the way, I think TCC's service standards have improved tremendously, sometimes i'm overwhelmed- to the point where I doubt its sincerity. But i think its in the right direction and i appreciate it. :)
Friday night was great mostly because I met up with IVY after almost half a year. We fell out sometime in August or September due to some stuffs. I'm glad its all behind us now & shes still my Evil-twin. So, the entourage of 4 went to Gotham Penthouse to check the place out. Its a pretty intimate & cosy environment, with the usual commercial R&B tunes which you can sing along to. The service's warm too, except for the overenthusiastic server who insisted 1 lady is only allowed a glass- Fine, chill man, we got the message. Then there was the vaguely deaf bartender who needs a loudhailer to get his attention. Otherwise, everyone else were sweethearts. I'll recommend that place to hold private parties or events.
The crowd is generally well-behaved & the place is probably the freshest smelling nightspot I've been to. I credit well-ventilation & the scarcity of smoke/fume-making machines. We only had to fend off a couple of undesirable guys. We were offered drinks by this drunk Australian Chinese (who was rubbing his behind with another blonde woman- urgh). I think it was spiked... Thankfully we ignored him & found refuge on the dancefloor. Until the gross Jason guy kept tryin to get himself into our circle. Urgh. Ivy's Steven from Belgium was probably the best catch but hes shy, and thats a quality i appreciate in this situation. So, as u can tell by now, majority of the men there arent really attractive, unless u dig angmoh and indian men... OH yeah, & the DJ was hilarious. He kept making his own remarks & comments, he might as well say, "EVERYBODY SCREAM!" Haha, he seemed more like a novice emcee at some Kids central party. At least, it was entertaining. So after all that, i slept at almost 5am cause I had to do springcleaning at 4am this morning when wanhua came over to my place to crash. My room is in a total mess.
Tennis lesson #1. Haha. I felt extremely overaged for it, but it was fun. Who wanna play tennis with me now?
I'm supposed to be out n about, living it up in my supposedly "happening" lifestyle tonight. But i dont feel up to it. I'm too tired. Sorry guys for pangsehing. My friends were at the Marmalade Pantry having dinner & partying somewhere now. I hope they have fun. I feel so dowdy being at home on a Saturday Night! well... Since i wont be home starting tues night, I should be a homebody for now. Pass me the apron & the broom!
PS. latest updates- HAHAHA. We are all homebodies today. Apparently, only Kunal met Elvin for dinner. And now, everyones at home & online! HAHAHA!
