Halo Bar

Had a facial appointment at 10 tis morn, but when I woke up, it was already 11am. Heh.. came back too early tis morn, and the result is oversleeping.

It was a fun night out with the Sept 6 run. Haven had a run outing in a while. Though the numbers have dwindled, nonetheless the core group of people were still there. The gathering was for the celebration of paw's and sh's bdaes. Dinner was set at 730, but as typical professionals who have endless work to finish and enjoy dilly-dallying, we finally settled down for dinner at Marche only at 9pm. Everyone was starved by then and it was evident from the way we gobbled down our food. ^^

After much deliberation, we headed down to Halo Bar for some drinks. The most amazing thing, Halo Bar is located right smack in Ngee Ann Poly. I never thought that such a thing could happen in Singapore, like there being a pub located inside the compounds of a tertiary institution!! Actually, none of us believed it till we got there. Even the cab driver was questioning us. He thought we were such hardworking students, going back to school so late in the night. Hehe..

Halo Bar turned out to be a KTV place. YEAH!! I had been itching to sing for a very very long time already but never managed to fix a time with my frens. So, some things always turn out better when left unplanned =) We had to split into 2 rooms because 1) the room was too small to accomodate all 15 of us in it, 2) the smokers were being considerate. But it was kinda off to split up. I was of course in the room with all the non-smokers and we were happily singing away. Then I decided to go over to the 'smokers' room. Bad decision. First was that the room was so smoky, it hurt the eyes. Then it was all the drinks I had to imbibe although little compared to the others. But I have never been a good drinker. Those in this room were all so high that it was quite a hilarious sight. Never seen SH like he was last night. He was high till he actually sang!! Sean also sang. The most amazing thing was not that he could sing but that he could read the chinese words!

The bar closed around 230am, and we adjourned outside to chit chat since those who drove had to sober up before leaving. Paw's fren said I look like tis other gal, who was some hall sports queen. Hahha, thx for the compliment, but I think its jus cos it was too dark that he couldn't see clearly. It was quite nice to have the whole group of us seated there, chatting away. Plus, I quite like the environment there too. Thx to SL's bf who 'allowed' us to join him there. Those ppl wouldn't be leaving till like after 4am where the possibility of there being a roadblock is much lower. I wouldn't have mind staying on, but Gail wanted to leave already, so I left with her. =)
