Blackout

You won’t believe what happened on Sunday. Went to Alleybar with Shuhui, great place. Though it was surprisingly empty for a Sunday night. Had a Mojito (pronounced Mao-hee-tao), it’s a Cuban drink, one ounce rum, three ounce lime juice, three teaspoon of sugar, topped up with ice and soda water. Garnish with half a crushed lime and mint leaves. Bought Shuhui a Bailey’s, I had a Manhattan and a corona for her later. The place was rather cozy but an irksome part was that they use oil lamps instead of tea light candles. They just remind me so much of the oil lamp I have on the altar at home. Loved the airy feel of the place. Yup, you heard me right, it’s cozy but airy at the same time. The place’s freakin narrow, it has a L- shaped layout, but the high ceiling helped a lot. The bar really looks like it has been built into an alley. The ceiling/skylight was just some translucent covering bridging the walls. Yup. So the ceiling was like…. three stories high? Music was typically lounge, they tried something that sounded like Friday prayers, it was too weird. Thank god it was an isolated attempt/incident.

Overall I’ll give the place a 7.5 out of 10. Helps that the drinks were in large portions.

Ran into two of her friends there. Eileen (ok. I don’t know how it’s spelt, sue me…) and What-ever-her-name-is. Hahaha. As you probably can tell by now, Eileen was quite a looker. But alas, she fags! Hahaha for those who know me, pretty babes who fags gets 60 points deducted out of a possible 100 straight away. Haha yup, they can never pass. And to those who read my blog, I’m sure you all remember the unhappy dream I had regarding the class and a cigarette. So there. What a waste!

Come to think of it, all the Eileen-s I know are all very pretty. So are the Elaine-s. Hahaha.

So what’s the big hoo-haa about the outing? We took a walk from the bar to Dolby Gauht mrt station. As we reached the bottom of the escalator, I blacked out. Yup, you heard me right. I blacked out. Gave Shuhui a scare man. I wasn’t drunk or anything, really! Ask her! We walked all the way from Somerset to Plaza Singapura; all the while I was behaving coherently normal. I have no idea why I blacked out. All I remember was total darkness and Shuhui asking if I was alright. I was! I even got up by myself. And I wasn’t even woozy after that, we just continued walking and talking. Creepy! Shuhui thought I was anemic, think it’s the alcohol AND the lack of sleep. Am sure that you peeps know that I’ve difficulty getting good sleep these days. Am always dreaming and waking up fitfully. So there, I’ve just proved that you do get affected faster drinking with a tired body/mind.

Blimey! I scratched my favorite watch too. Know the one that look like a metal band/armlet? Yup, it’s scratched now… badly. Haiz. Hope they can salvage it.

Oh! Gonna check out Altivo Bar or Acid Bar next. Any takers?
