friday nite was supposed the time that i will be going drinking wit bro zs. supposing to locate this chivas live lounge at clarke quay, as they sent the invite since i joined chivas live member. but after searching for close to 1 hour, we decide to walk over to boat quay instead. when we were walking towards boat quay, i stopover this asian fusion bar. outside the place shows a LCD TV wit Joanna Wang (aka 王若琳) in it. Think there is a event organised by Yes 933. It was a live performance for Joanna. She is 1 of the talented singer that I like. Especially her vocals which attracts me. Even my buddy oso likes it. Too bad it was a closed door event, only with invites can enter. But anyway, the event seems to end when we stopover there for ard 10mins. So we continue to proceed on to boat quay.
while walking to boat quay, we came across this super duper long queue to MOS. it was really crazy to be queuing there. I can imagine why there are pple who likes to go in there. Singaporeans really like to queue. This is wat I think.
Soon we reached boat quay, we happened to see this Jazz bar, named Jazz @ Southbridge. It located on the 2nd level. Below it was previously was a Coffee Bean cafe, which now has been converted to a Barracuda bar.
So we walk up to the bar. There are 2 areas in it, 1 is with minimum spending of $25 per person, which is nearer to the Jazz band, the other is without any minimum spending. Since we most likely will be having min 2 drinks, we went to the seats nearer to the Jazz band.
So i start of with ordering Imperial Jade, mix with vodka, creme de cacao, lime juice, kiwi juice. Initially I tot it will be of soury taste, which i prefer, but it was instead a sweet taste. zs ordered a Wyoborawa pear vodka on the rock. When he saw the drinks being served, he feels dat he's being cheated as my drink is of a bigger portion than his. His drink is basically a flavoured vodka with ice. Smells nice but the taste is very concentrated.
while waiting for the jazz band to arrive, my drink is almost dry. so i decide to look at the menu for another drink. there are quite a limited of mixed liquors in the menu. As i dun like the smell of gin, i decide a drink dat is mixed with brandy. the name dun sound good, Muddy Beach Water. Sounds disgusting. zs ordered flavoured magarita of mango taste, and oso ordered fries & wedges. afterall the walk from clarke quay to boat quay consumes quite an amount of energy.
soon the drinks came, my Muddy Beach Water tastes like Bailey Irish Cream. whereas zs's drink taste like slurpee. soon after, the jazz band members starts to arrive. as the vocalist has not arrived yet, they started with playing of music. lately watched a jap drama on classical music, so i'm very attracted to pianist. those slender fingers that can bring nice and smooth music.
anyway, i finished my 2nd drink pretty fast as not much alcohol can be tasted in it. So i order another 1, Cosmopolitan. Sad to say, its another sweet drink. maybe my buddy will like it. Soon the vocalist arrives. She is a lady who got "分量", so her voice has a lot of power. Actually this is the 1st time i've been to a jazz bar, which i like it very much.
I've been listening to jazz music for quite some time. she sang a few songs, from michael buble & frank sinatra. there is 1 song which is the familiar, perhaps. soon the 3rd drink is gone, while zs is still having his 2nd drink. i then got the 4th drink, long island tea, which is also the killer drink of the night. maybe i drank quite fast. the head was getting heavy and heavier.
soon later another band member (guitarist) arrives. we listen for a while before we take off, as the clock is approaching 12 midnight. Thank you zs for footing the bill. Next time it will be my treat. Definitely!
luckily, there is still a train towards woodlands direction, so i dun need to spend $ for night rider.
i slept almost all the way in the train, think if i dun sleep, i may puke. but in between certain stations, i still woke up to check where was i. finally got back home. i quickly have a shower, and jump to my bed straight.
this morning wake up, still abit tipsy. head is still quite heavy. after having breakfast, mum & I went downstairs to wash my bro's car. its been ard 2 wks since we last washed it. my leg hurts again, but this time round its on my left foot. so its another stay home saturday.
tonite will be toking to buddy, will tell her wat actually happen to me this few days.
