Chilling at MoS!

Finally I went to MoS on Friday, dunno how long after it opened!

Supposed to meet DXJ for dinner first before heading there but she's still busy working. Haven't seen her since she changed job, she is like so busy nowadays. However never hear her complain so she must be happy ^^ Anyway I went home to eat then picked her up after ard 9.30pm in cab, din drive cuz want to drink!

Met up with her friend Kathy over at MoS, turned out she's also DXJ's secondary schoolmate, so practically we are all alumi LOL (I was their senior) Quite packed at Clarke Quay as usual on a Friday night, we went in ard 10+. Free entry thanks to my HSBC card wohoo! Credit cards do come in handy sometimes haha :P

My first time in MoS so took a look around, quite a mega clubbing place as I expected. Checked out a couple of the rooms, we chilled with a couple of drinks and games at '54' on Level 2 playing retro music. Crowd starting to pour in as the night got later, have to say the crowd's good :) After we went downstairs to 'Smoove' or the cage room cuz in the middle is a cage where the dance floor is. This is the HAPPENING room playing R&B hip hop with the most ppl and quite a young crowd. We managed to find a spot and had a couple more drinks and play some more games while grooving to the music.

I was like getting high already on drinks. Oh yeah DXJ bought me a Barcardi 151 drink! It was like drinking... just alcohol! (it was 75.5% alcohol by volume...) I got like alcohol fume pouring out of my nose and my throat was like drying up after the shot. I think this is the first and last time I am gonna have this, unless I want to get high fast haha. They kept wanting to get me another shot! zZz heng never otherwise I think I might just conc, omg what aus there on the spot! Overall I think I had Vodka Lime, Apricot Brandy, B52, Barcardi 151 and Long Island Tea! Shiokkkkkkkkk

The dance floor was super crowded in Smoove but we managed to get in a little action before we left ard 1.45am. Headed over to Hooters where DXJ was craving for her chicken wings with beer but unfortunately last order was over :P She was like a bit pissed cuz she's been saying she wanted to eat this all night haha, so we walked all the way to Raffles Place Mac and treated both to some MacWings, better than nothing right? keke

Took a cab and sent DXJ and Kathy home, lucky all stay West side. Darn the increase in taxi fare, I can pump half a tank with the taxi cost to and fro. Anyway thanks DXJ and Kathy for a great time at MoS! Next stop.... SJPS!!

Mazda6 Test Drive

Continuing from the previous post... I went to test drive the new model Mazda6 at the Mazda showroom at Bukit Timah. When I mention to other they say "Mazda again?", I guess doesn't really matter of you really like the drive and Mazda is one of the better Japanese brand around in terms of quality. My Mazda3 can attest to that :)

The car has quite a nice body styling and resembles the Lexus IS250. Comes in both 2.0L and 2.5L version, with the 2.5 having more interior frills but there unfortunately there wasn't any on display. Went for a short spin, the drive is pretty smooth and quiet. Even though it's quite a big car it's pretty light on the steering. However I still think my Mazda3 looks bit sportier heh :P

Now comes the most important question, PRICE. The 2.0 sports model I am looking at costs nearly 90k... the premium of being first to drive a new model. Comparatively speaking it is still cheaper than when I got my car, I paid like only 10k less... zzz. That's why I think still cannot change car haiz, I bought too high and if I sell back now I still need to fork out over 10k to cover the car loan. Oh well, try again next year!

Comp Day!!

Comp day is finally here! Although I am on leave today (and tomorrow), went back to office to get my letter from boss. Wore very casual, tees and bermudas lol, cuz afterward go gym mah :P Got about 7% increase in my base pay, which I think is quite ok and inline with market expectation (Of cuz always wish is more right?) But what surprises me is my bonus, it's...lot more than I expected! NOT COMPLAINING! LOL ^^ Hope every year also like this keke.

The meeting with boss only took like 10 mins but had to settle some issues so left only about 11am. Hit the gym for an hour or so then went to have lunch. Everyone I asked to have lunch all not available -.-, Qi got lunch appt already, TT still catching zzz (not surprised...) and the last one pon teng work AGAIN (not surprised either lol :P) So in the end eat alone haizz...

Anyway idle till almost three then went to see the dentist at Park Mall. Last min book de, cuz thought since here already and got time why not go see. Eh most importantly, cost is covered keke, might as well right? It's been ages since I been to the dentist for checkup, so had a bit of cleaning to do. It was... an agonizing 15 mins while she was cleaning the teeth, quite painful sometimes. I think I grabbed the cushion so hard I may have left a mark :P Dentist told me I wasn't cleaning my gums properly so now it's inflamed and *ahem* taught me how to brush properly. Eh it is totally different from what we learn at school! (so cannot blame me...) She said forgot those cuz it is wrong! oO

Alright think long enough, went to test drive the Mazda6 too, more in the next post...

Oh yeah... Ah Meng died :( Although I only know her by reputation it is still a sad loss for the Zoo. Read that it is widely reported around the world and thousands of people attended the funeral at the zoo. Din realised she is so well loved, Rest In Peace Ah Meng...

Happy Chinese New Year!!

So fast today is CNY eve already! Been busy trying to clear my work these 2 days, today a bit no mood to work lol (actually last two days too :P)

Accompanied TT to get her new Sony Ericsson W960i on Monday evening. Also a PDA phone, looks quite sleek but after playing with it seems bit slow. Think she also having 2nd thoughts but what to do paid already, 700 bucks somemore. Just now was telling me the battery doesn't even last a day. Asked her to check back with the shop and possibly get a new battery replaced. Hope you get used to the phone soon! ^^

A colleague was just telling us how Pizza Hut give his credit card back to another customer who promptly sign and left. Shows nowadays the merchant dun really check the signature on the card! He was so pissed off cuz he had to wait for over an hour for Pizza Hut to settle the mess. They told him the customer was going to come back but in the end did not and somemore used his card in another shop for 200+, he only found out when he call the bank later. I think i will be very very angry with Pizza Hut if that happened to me, so people PLEASE CHECK YOUR CARD before you keep it!

Ok time to go home, wishing everyone a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS YEAR OF THE RAT! This year suppose to be good for Snakes, let's see on my comp day hahaha. Enjoy!!!
