DAMNNNNN!! i was supposed to start studying on monday and now, its already thursday. exams are like only 1 week away can!! seriously, i have no idea what i did for the past 3 days. apart from the non-stop binging at mcdonalds, watching gossip girls and other random online stuff, not a single studying was done. alright, i better get to my lecture notes right after i finish this entry. well, maybe i'll do a little brunch just before that. and a couple episodes of Desperate Housewives perhaps. anyways, as you might have noticed from the teaser on tuesday, this entry is gonna be another birthday entry. i know there's been a lot of birthday posts recently but i cant help it if all my friends celebrate theirs in the fall/winter season. this time around, its...  Happy Birthday Jiafang!!! we passed her this really huge and colorful birthday present at the train station and made her carry it all the way to Kallang. she was like damn embarrassed la. from Kallang Mrt we took a cab all the way to our secret location. even the taxi uncle was informed not to breathe any information about the destination. Jiafang was expecting to go to the beach probably for a picnic or something. but then the uncle stopped at the Singapore Indoor Stadium and we headed to our surprise location.  Brewerkz at the Stadium Waterfront. since my blog is turning into a food blog somehow, here are the obligatory pictures of what we had for dinner. we decided not to have the main course and instead share all random items we liked from the menu.  chicken cobb salad.  chili cheese fries.  buffalo wings.  calamari.  smoke salmon pizza.  lime margarita.  Overall Rating of Brewerkz Indoor Stadium. 6.5/10 well first thing first. every since i had that chicken cobb salad, it has affirmed my disgust for blue cheese. and i am someone who loves cheese. for the benefit of those who have not tried blue cheese, it taste wet socks. not that i have tasted one before. but that's the closest discription i can give. apart from that, the rest of the food we had was so-so. it wasnt exactly bad nor was it fantastic either. the food here is priced slightly above affordable with the salad being $18.99. so expect to pay at least $30 per person including drinks. there is nothing much to mention about the service as it was slightly below lukewarm. although there were sufficient staff around, getting the attention of one is slightly tiring. they have a tendency to hover around the 'ang moh' customers like flies to a dustbin. location is slightly inaccesbile unless you have a car but the whole atmosphere of the area was worth the travel. to end this, head over to Brewerkz Indoor Stadium to chill out with friends over drinks instead of food because obviously, that is what their known for in the first place.  now the girls call me a messy eater.   i dont think so. we told the staff in advance to suprise jiafang with the cake after we finished our dinner. we specifically told him it was our friend's birthday and requested whether we can get some staff to gather and sing a birthday song for jiafang. he said, ''yeah sure''. so we decided to distract jiafang by asking her to take pictures of me, sheryl and cecilia with the present, while we waited for the guy to come out with the cake, with the candle lighted up and a few staffs standing around singing Happy Birthday.  after quite a while of 'trying to distract jiafang'... this china-woman staff glides by and just slides this plate of cake on the table. with a potruding UNLIGHTED candle in the middle of the cake and then made her way to another table.  MAJOR WTF!!!! jiafang who was in the middle of taking our fotos (the distraction process) notices this chocolate cake on the table and had this 'oh did we order this?' look on her face. the other 3 of us had our jaws dropped to the wooden floors of Brewerkz. we had to go around Brewerkz asking for a lighter to light the candle ourselves. BLASPHEMOUS. but thank god, jiafang's not the petty sort. so we quickly moved on to her other suprise, the big box she's been carrying all the way from city hall mrt. lets pose with the present first.     there she blows.  lets cut the whole box open!  TADAH! thats the main present, a corkboard with a pin up collage with our letters folded in origami. of course there were other presents in the box like a dress and accesories to match but i dont seem to have the photos with me. haha. but of course, with such a nice location outside of Brewerkz, isnt it a little tempting to camwhore. so god forgive me for i cave in easily to temptations. so easily. especially since i've brought my tripod along.    there were 3 boxes of sparklers in the box of presents and after i accidentally burnt my thumb on the first one. nobody dared to touch the sparklers for the rest of the night. LOL!  nice right the view?  check out the bridge. loves the lights. time for the customary solo shots with the birthday girl.  sheryl's.  cecilia's.  mine.  time for emo shots.  jiafang & cecilia.  me & sheryl.  group.  i love these girls. but sadly, this entry has come to an end.  time to return back to our headquarters. Zordon's waiting. so till my next entry, take care bitches.  loves, ali joe |
