the cannery

sheesh! i didnt know i had a CA yesterday and so i didnt do! ... sigh. anyway the fatigue is really getting to me. yesterday's video shoot was held at cafe del mar. the weather wasnt kind to us, it started pouring in the afternoon so we couldnt start shooting. wasted close to 4 hours just doing nothing, slacking around, praying for the sun to come out. there were even plans to shoot on another day...i was like NO WAY MAN! no way am i going to wake up at 6am again! hahah fortunately the weather cleared at around 3pm. thereby the shooting started and ended at 6pm. chop chop finish. haiya dont know how mine will turn out also...oh well...

met alvin for dinner after that. we ate at this japanese restaurant at meridien shopping centre, called yaki-sth-sth. quoting him, the japanese food there is 'the best in the world' that he has ever tasted. hahaha okok it was yummy, but good food is often wasted on me, since my taste buds cant differentiate between VERY VERY good food and just..well..GOOD food. we kind of have to cook the meat ourselves and poor him had to do most of the work because..urps..basically yours truly cannot cook for nuts. still, it was enjoyable. :)

we went on to have wine at alleybar and then i made my first trip to cannery. a bit suaku la, havent been there since it opened. was pleasantly surprised to see how clarke quay has transformed into. so many small, cutesy pubs..kandi bar, fashion bar, clinic, highlander, 1969...blah blah.

we went into clinic for a while. the cover charge was $20 and we got 2 free drinks each, so i guess that was reasonable. i was a little disappointed because the place wasnt very clinicy, as what i have expected from reviews on the newspaper. besides the fact that the different rooms were named after biological terms like amino, and morphine, which reminds me terribly of the modules i'm taking currently (not sure whether that's a good thing or not), there wasnt anything else special about it. the usual blasting loud music (there wasnt even r&b), normal bars..ohoh but the waiters and bartenders were dressed up like medical workers..but aiya, they should wear lab coats to look more realistic, and the waitresses should wear hot nurse uniforms hhaa. at least now i can tell people i've been there. after the less than satisfied stay in clinic, we decided to take another walk around and ventured into highlander, where there was a live band of 2 playing. well not too bad, but walas is better.




actually, after a while, i realised all the pubs are the same. the decor and theme might be different, the music they play might be different, but all in all, they are all the similar, if you know what i mean. more often than not, it's the company that matters, dont you think so?

alrighty got to go, finally going to my first class in a few days. tata~
