Night Out

Last night, me and my long lost friend (another way to say that he is a Loser...ke...ke...ke...) got together for a drink at this bar along Boat Quey. We regretted after that.
Shall not mention the name of this bar, but suffice to say that I will not be back for a second drink.


First was the singing (but this can be forgiven).
Second, there were no babes in this God-forsaken bar!!!

We waited more than an hour for our turn to sing (2 songs per table). Now, I looked across the bar, ... no more than 4 tables occupied. Four times 2 equal 8 songs per round. Each song 4 mins, you will get to sing after 32 min. Any moron who can't count (like my friend, who was too drunk to do anything) can simply follow the table number.

KNNB!!! My friend (lets call him Sanjay) was cursing and swearing. He already down a can and a bottle somewhere else minutes ago, and here he almost finished half the jar already. And still not his turn yet...

TAMADE!!! I also Buay Tah Han... What's worst than waiting and waiting? It's to endure some wannabe Singapore Idols who keep singing out-of-tune and still think he sings damn well...Wah piang!!!

Membership has it's privileges...these crowd obviously knew the owner of the bar, or else how come they keep getting their turns and we got none? Must build rapport so next time got Special treatment.

What next time? I won't be back!!!

I was there for Sanjay, who apparently had some entangled issues of the heart to air out. Btw, Sanjay (not his real name) is Chinese, and I think his singing is better than his drinking. This cute girl (not a babe hor) sitting across the table was staring hard at Sanjay when he uttered his first word. I think she is impressed.

Anyway, long story short, we left the bar around 3 am, but take this:
When they finished singing, the mic was taken (away from them).
When we finished singing, the place was shaken (with awe, of course!)

Lesson for the market:
Can't find any for now?
Maybe this: Wrong bar, you wait. Wrong stock bought, you wait also...(for it to recover lah).

Market seems to pick up a bit this morning, but I think there is still more downside risk than upside. The last time I witnessed a correction, it lasted 2 mths. We are only in the 2nd week. I will keep my hook and come fishing tomorrow or next week. No need to hurry. There will always be bargains out there :)
