With my BMT section-mates

i met up with my bmt section-mates again, for our monthly outing. We were supposed to go chinatown k-ster to sing, but it was kinda dumb that the meeting place was city hall, and so after meeting at city hall, we took a train to chinatown...waste money sia..

But my first-time experience at k-ster wasn't bad.. 4 hours of singing+ 2 drinks each+ snacks + a nice comfy room with pillows, for just $15, quite comparable to some other better-known competitors. And after 4 hours, we were offered another 3-hour extension by just paying for another jar of drinks ($15) !!! So if that 15 bucks were to be divided by 6 people, we just have to fork out 2-odd dollars for THREE more hours!! Shiok sia, but we didnt take up the offer cos most of us have other programs later..

Then, the group of us went BACK to city hall to go marina sq, as we had planned for a movie. I thought that i could finally watch another movie after such a long time since my previous one, but still the plan was called off in the end, cos of unsuitable movie timings. We ended up walking around marina sq in circles for quite a long time to look for places to eat, and we ended up at cafe cartel, where i took free bread to fill up my stomach before meeting my jc class afterwards.

With my JC classmates

Luckily 0704 decided to eat at marina sq as well, so it was a convenient meet-up with them. It was 2 or 3 months since we last had dinner together liao.. But the horror part was, I had to accompany them to walk around marina sq in circles AGAIN to look for places to eat!!! And the crowd everywhere was terrible, cos of the last fireworks extravaganza later on. And so finding a place to eat became a chore..

we caught 30% of the fireworks performance, inside marina square. Only 30% of it, cos the other 70% was blocked by other buildings and also the reflection of lights from the glass window that we were looking out from.. But still not too bad, it was still sufficient to satisfy me.

And again, we walked in circles around marina sq, citylink and raffles city, and after almost 1.5 hours, we finally found our first available seats at raffles city starbucks. I think shopping malls should really consider extending their operating hours, especially during weekends, cos closing at 10pm or 11pm is way too early. And i thought marina sq should have had late night shopping for at least the 4 nights of fireworks, so as to cater to shoppers after the show, instead of closing everything at 10.

Still, today's quite fulfilling.. hopefully i can get the class foto taken today from cy soon, so i can post up here..
