Last week was great…met Bharat after a long time…we were supposed to meet for coffee but ended up doing so much more…we met up at Bugis and headed to Breeks for coffee… but we ended up drinking Corona… it tasted ok…better than other beers…but I still love my red wine…reminiscing about the past was fun…
He is now some big time producer who has worked with some big time people in the UK… he’s now a SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha….
Talking about the people and the place… BP was the happening place… I remember clubbing every single night… he would miss school and his girl friend would miss work… all chilling in BP… jeez… how the 2 years pass… I have no idea… taught me a lot of lessons those years…
He was nagging about me being single and not settling down… He sounded a bit like my mom… hahahahaha… Well, he gave me an ultimatum… if I am not married by next year, he will find me a guy and get me married off… *yea like that would happen; I would be running off the other direction when it comes to commitment*
he was kinda shock when he found out that I stopped clubbing… he thought I was the same… hahahahaha… the last I actually clubbed was on my birthday when I was super gone… so that night we decided to check out the Hindi pubs as well as have good North Indian food… we ended up in Shish Mahal…
oohhhh!!!!! I missed their food terribly… the waiter, Ramesh, I think recognized me and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable… I had good Hindustani khana and I was over the moon… according to Bharat, I was like a school girl, getting all excited… the problem was I have not had Hindustani khana for long time because Luke cannot take spicy food… and Western Food compared to Indian food, tasted kinda bleh… not that I don’t enjoy looking for good places to eat…
After eating, we head down to Boat Quay… took a bus there…felt weird but good…it was too early to go in anywhere else so we decided to be high - class sharabis and drink “orange juice”…we walked down Boat Quay and found the place to be dead at 11 at night… was pretty shocked… ended walking to Clarke Quay… Bharat decided to tell me loads of stuff…some of which has scared me for the rest of my life… things I didn’t need to know but was informed by Mr. Bharat Goel… finally, we ended up in Rupee Room…
Oh Good GOD!!!! I never knew Hindi music sounds so good… I guess the fact that I’ve not gone out for a long time played a huge part in me enjoying that night… I was off the hook… dancing all night long… Bharat got tired but he kept on dancing with me…poor guy…
After Rupee Room, we wanted to check out Krissh and Club Colaba… we found them dead and headed back to Rupee Room… I finally left at 4am…had work the next day…but was really happy to have spent a night out with him… we took some pix and they are with him… will upload them as soon as he passes them to me…
Went home to sleep for awhile and headed out to work…came back home and got ready to go out to the Melbourne Comedy Festival… been waiting for it for ages…
Luke picked me up at 6 and we went to have dinner at Café Iguana… food, just like Brewerkz, was not fantastic… drinks were awesome… there was an irritating French man trying way too hard to impress the girl…
Managed to finish our dinner without killing anyone and headed off to the DBS thingy where the festival was to be… I didn’t get lost which was a good thing…
Parking was easy… got to the place and I was shocked to see so many Aussies… I kinda knew there were loads of expats but Aussies kinda dominated the expat market… Luke was equally shocked… I got the tickets and he got the drinks… White wine tasted horrible and we shared a glass… he didn’t get his coffee…
The bell rang and we went into the auditorium…
Dave Callan was the emcee for the night… we both enjoyed the bit about his “special moustache”; it was so special that it grew on his chin… AND IT’S CALLED A “BEARD”… every time he walked in, there was rock music playing in the background… he looked like a rocker plus the music amplifying his persona… he was cool and we loved the SIM LIM = WHORE HOUSE FOR GEEKS… it was hilarious and the funny things was Luke and I were there the week before getting him a lap top and he said something of that nature too… he was joking about Utt’s new advert for chicken essence which I think is so gay… let’s all give him a LOL!!!!!!!
Hannah Gadsby was good; talking about lesbos and fat-phobic people… describing Tassie and all… she rocked… BIG - HIPPED PEOPLE ARE INSANELY FUNNY!!!
2nd speaker was Sammy J… I swear there’s something in his juice… he was majorly hyper… he took of a button every time the ladies made a cat call and when he took off his shirt, he was amazingly skinny….eeeewwwww!!!!!! Thank God! Luke is big!!!!
There was a short break after the 1st act and Luke needed his coffee… we got out and he handed me his wallet, “Love, You know what I want… I’ll see you outside…”
He can’t handle crowds…
We went in for the second half….someone had actually gone out and bought a bottle of chicken essence and dared him to drink it… he said he was a vegetarian and would not try it and out comes Sammy, gulping it down…
We love the 3rd speaker, Dave Thornton…he was simply amazing… he was talking about being unemployed and tradesmen… and I could relate to the tradesmen, thanks to Luke…
The last speaker, Denise Scotts, was more into the breast and sluts and shitty people living in this world…
Overall, it was a perfect and wonderful night… needed a good laugh and boy did I get it all…
Met some of colleagues there and the 6 of us went to the corner for a drink… the company was great, the drinks were cheap… Barbara was nice… I think we were the only 2 out of the industry… she was in the airline industry and I am in the travel industry… so we were talking about ANG-MOH men and all while the rest were talking about the industry… we left nearing to midnight and Luke’s Lucifer eyes had come out… reached home about 12.45am, changed and slept…
The next morning, we ventured towards the Rail Mall… memories came flooding back to me… I miss Cold Storage Shopping… we bumped into his friend, Paul, I think, I’m so sorry I’m bad with names… we had breakfast at Coffee bean which was surprisingly good…they talked for awhile and we left to head out to town while they wanted to go some beer-fest…
We couldn’t get a parking lot in Suntec, thus pissing him further… we got out and got a lot in Marina Square…
Went to Habanos to get his cigars and sat at the Hawaiian concept joint for some Mango – Orange Shake… it was refreshing in the heat… sat and talked about everything while he smoked his cigar… we headed to Marina Square… found a new Yank restaurant and decided to give it a try… the food was good and the price was cheap… in fact it was much better than Iguana…
Luke was falling sick…and I’m kinda worried for him… he looked and sounded horrible…I think the stress and sleep deprivation is taking a toll on him…
Hopefully, he will feel better….
Got home and brought my babies out… Romeo is super pampered… he sleeps on my bed with me and loves to sit on my lap… love him to bits though…
Wanted to sleep early but I ended up watching Tenacious D and I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry… ended up sleeping at 1 am…
Took a cab again this morning…hopefully I can break this habit soon coz it’s getting really expensive…
Phew… that’s a long post…
Well, till the next post…
Ciao…
