i realise that i've been having birthday functions every two weeks since mainey's birthday. . i've got two more in the month of may. so today it's stay home weekend. . . my younger niece shu hui did invite me to minds cafe @ boat quay today but am not sure if i would be going down. see how. i am blessed with two wonderful nieces. :)
anyways, we celebrated corrinne's birthday last sat at powerhouse, st james. well, my first impression of the place wasn't a good one. firstly, when i called to make reservations on monday, the week before the actual day.. i was told that we don't have to open a bottle for a table but since reservations is supposed to two weeks in advance, he would check with his manager. the manager called me on wed and told me that he could reserve a table for me but i have to open a bottle, vodka bottle for $228. its like wtf! dun u guys communicate. anyways, since they are having a vodka promotion, i would get another bottle free n an extra table. i was like fair enough since i was gonna have 10 - 15 people coming. however, i could only bring three people in free. . .never mind, i reserved it anyways.
on the day itself at the door, i was told that there was no vodka promo whatsoever, just premium bottle @ $224 and one table... again, wtf!! the cashier girl at powerhouse acted like i owed her a living as i didn't know i had to pay for the bottle also. the way she reacted really reflected the image of the whole place. luckily, there's wasn't anymore incidents, the waitress that serve us was a pleasant one and i should have drop a compliment for her. oh yes, the tequila shots gal was cute and nice too. thanks to marky mark too for helping us out. well, lesson learnt, never arrange for a birthday at a place that you are not familiar with. next stop, obar.
sigh, i should really stop clubbing...retire to a nice old folks home and start a new dance craze there.... hahaha. anyone wanna join me? will call it folk dance.... wait that's done already. i know! we'll call the 'dance of the roaches'!! hahaha... all incestcides are not invited.. :p okie okie, i noe its lame, well the heat it getting to me.. *onz fan* so where was i... oh yes.. retiring. not sure why the president came into my mind all of a sudden. haha... my ex-colleague happens to be his neighbour.. no joke! went to her place for hari raya a few years back and saw his place. a humble guy as the place was just as normal as the rest, so u can't really tell that's the pressie place except something that gives the place away.. but i ain't gonna tell ya. hahaha.
well, it's the weekend, go out and enjoy yourself. remember its not the place that makes the night, its the company. have a great weekend.
