A Night at Sentosa

Dinner with meili bingwei and leon changed from the expensive tepanyaki at jurong hill to food replublic at vivo city because of bingwei's toothache, but i guess it was a good decision to change it because that led to an eventful evening. a short kopi and teh session at tostbox with some gossips haha..
Sentosa express has started running and we planned to buy a ticket and take a round trip just to experience it, the station was quite empty, probably because it was 9pm in the evening, staffs were very helpful at the stations and direct you to the trains and to the exit with beaming smiles, oh and you cannot use your ezlink card for this ... so we gotta go get tickets from the counter.Got our tickets, ready to board this newest transport system in singapore... it feels like an lrt, reaching the siloso beach was really fast. bingwei can think about being advertisement model, this photo looks like an advert for the sentosa express. maybe sentosa can consider it, anyone there working in sentosa?

Guess what? there's this new club openning at siloso beach called cafe del mar, i guess many would have heard about it. since we are already at siloso beach, why miss the chance to check out this new place, it's free for the night anyway... so we went..
right at the entrance, we met the jemej couple!! still so actively cheonging after marriage, better cheong all they can before kids come into their life!!
One of the few times that you can actually carry an slr camera into a club openly and you can freely take photo of the place. it's really a big place, indoor area is quite small but there's a rooftop area, a pool side bar with a shallow pool that you cannot swim in it, and a big sandy beach area with lot's of day beds to chill out. i guess the pool is there so that you can go to the club in your swimwear without feeling stupid.. cool right?? it was really an eye opener, didn't regret going for the opening of this new club.

Guess what's happenning after the visit to sentosa? not difficult...... going to mingbao's place to play mahjong again.. 3rd time this week. after 2 rounds of mahjong, mingbao brought in cards and we start rounds of card games ... till 4am in the morning, driving back was quite a difficult task, because i need to put in quite some effort to keep awake..
I'm starting to like the high grade mahjong chips.. and when are we going to get the automatic mahjong shuffling table!!... any sponsors?

After reading all these blogs these days, really inspired me to have a blog of my own..... anyway, back to the table... how abt the suggestion of winner of every round to dong1 $1 for all 1-3 tai wins and $2 for every 4-5 tai wins. gangs and flower wins are exempted. at this rate, we should be able to cover back for the cost of the auto-wash mj table by the time nml comes back from australia. it's so fast, january's almost over... anyway, how about organizing another mj competition? say like during cny? gong xi fa cai!

nuanda: Haven't been to km8 .. not sure about it.. but i heard km8 is smaller, does km8 have an indoor section, cos cafe del mar has a section which is fully sheltered. they have a small building like thingie with a bar inside and some sections with seats.

WAT?! You mean you guys weren't planning to be there and got in FREE? Hahahaha, we had to get invites loh! But then again, they didn't ask to see the invites when we were getting in, which we thought was weird.

By the way, they RAN OUT of drinks by 11 plus loh. Not too good, too crowded. But it should be a nice place to chill out on a sunday afternoon. That is, if you are a beach hunk/babe. The Jemej will not be there then. ahaha.

haha . yar, i met a friend for lunch that day and that's how i know that it's having it's opening night that day. and we happen to be having our dinner at vivo!! so coincidental. Afternoon ar .. i still think the mood will only be there when night falls .. it's cool to chill out at night by the beach with the sound of waves in the background ..

haven't been to km8 for a long time. Was introduced to that place just before it launched, had an ex-colleague who used to spin there from time to time. Don't think they have an air-con section or section with 4 walls. Remember the pool right in the middle. Your description makes cafe del mar sound like the same thing on the oppsite side of sentosa
