Buttered, again!

Okay, this is such a bore, I'm always Buttered! I should really start exploring other clubs....

Anyways, the night started at 7pm with me meeting Ajitha and Doreen for drinks at Alley Bar. This time round, Doreen brought along her beau, Steve, who brought along his friend,..  (okay i forgot his name!). Alley Bar has a 1 for 1 promotion for Kronenberg 1664 all night! Happiness.

I realised the rubber for the heel of my right shoe was gone and the screw was still stuck underneath the heel. As a result, my right shoe would make a funny "clack" noise when I walked! i had seriously considered asking the bar of they had a screwdriver.. or pliers to remove the damn screw but figured i could survive the night with some intermittent clackity noise! Maybe I shoud've just asked for the screwdriver anyway, i might have gotten myself a free drink? hmm.

Doreen and I got ourselves some Vodka Cranberries.. which i realised didn't contain much vodka. either that or it wasn't mixed well.

me: hey i can't taste the vodka.
Doreen: me neither
me: oh wait. it's at the bottom. they didn't mix it well. oh well just drink and we'll get to the vodka
Doreen: why waste time, just suck low.

hahahah! doreen always tickles me with her one-liners. Anyways, I swear, Ajitha and Doreen are my good luck charms when it comes to free drinks! We were initially seated very near the audio speakers so it was a bit too loud for us to have a decent conversation.. so when the table nearby (with a better location) got vacated, we immediatelys switched tables. And while we were at it, one of the guys who left that table passed me 3 coupons.

me: what's this?
him: free drinks. we have to go you can have 'em.
me: oh ok thanks!

We checked out the coupons and true enough it says free Kronenberg 1664, expiring on that 11th July 2008. Since it was only 9pm, we could still get out free drinks. So I showed the waiter the coupons and requested for our 3 free bottles of Kronenberg but he said we could only redeem it before 9pm. I checked the coupon and there was nothing stated on the terms and conditions that it has to be redeemed before 9pm. Ajitha decided to take over the whole matter and reasoned with the waiter by telling them the "redeem before 9pm" clause was not stated in the coupon. After his failed attempt at convincing us, he told us to wait while he walked away to call another waiter.

Ajitha: Ok leave this to me, don't say anything.
me: ok!

The second waiter came and he said the same thing... "i'm sorry but this coupon is not valid anymore". I almost said "but it's not 12 yet!!" out loud, but stopped myself in time after remembering Ajitha's warning. In the end, the waiter asked if we would like to see the Manager and Ajitha said yes. The manager came, we passed her the coupons.. and 3 minutes later, 3 bottles of Kronenberg 1664 were served on our tables. wooooot! i love Ajitha.

i left Alley Bar at 10ish and rushed to the main road so my friend, Margie, could pick me up on a cab to head to Butter Factory. Then, i was already a tad happy from the Kronenbergs and some Vodka. We got to Butter, met Meng (who invited us to Butter that night), queued up for a bit and got in for free (UOB ladies wooot!). Not long after, a few other friends came. Meng also invited a friend of his, Ansley (TB falloutx), who joined us for the night. Ansley a Singaporean who works in Tokyo and was on a one week break in SG. He was due to catch a flight back to Japan at 6am! last few hours to party! I think I pretty much bombarded him with questions about Japan and forced him to speak some Japanese.

Ansley: if you wanna impress a Japanese girl, don't bother speaking Japanese, just speak English!!

Hmm, I wonder if it works on Japanese guys too hehehe. Maybe I should ask Gloria (TB Momiji) hehehe. It was a good and tipsy night, drinks just kept appearing like magic, coupled with frequent trips to the washroom (thanks to my useless bladder). The girls and I took a lot of silly photos with Japanese-like poses (oh yknow those with the peace sign), which i believe was somewhat influenced by the presence of a pseudo-Japanese guy that night. hahahaha. Everyone was having fun. Ansley had to leave us at 2ish so he could catch his flight, which is a bummer because I really enjoyed his company! Not long after the club was starting to close up and the rest of us left at 3ish after much insistence from yours truly (the nausea was starting to build up and i just wanted to suffer at home). The next  6 hours at home didn't go so well as i made frequent trips to the washroom. hahaha.

Like I said, maybe I should start exploring other places instead of going to good old Butter. We'll see!
