This birthday I will be away... I spent one in London and one in Germany years ago away from home but I still received so much love through the mail. I am very fortunate to be able to spend the recent ones with my close friends and family. Nothing means more than sharing the special day with the special people.
So we explored 1-Altitude last night, even after reading so many bad reviews about their service. I spoke to two friends whom also seem to agree with the reviews. Maybe they do it to the men only?? LOL. I'm not sure but it went okay for me, I got my drinks without much fuss and the bartender was prompt and attentive. We even found seats in that "very limited seatings" rooftop. The view was awesome but I think my knees would turn jelly if I could look down between the planks! I can't tell if this or New Asia Bar is higher but the rumour is this is the tallest! A shame I didn't bring my camera but I'm sure I will return another time if there's another occasion to celebrate :)
It was a pity they didn't have much going on up there, and with the limited seats, many people left shortly after a quick drink. Perhaps that's the plan?! No seats, so they can have as many people on top as possible... and with majority of them left standing, no one would stay long enough. Clever plan! Oh yes, I was on Indonesia network on my mobile as well, how nice! It seemed like M1 is not getting enough coverage higher off the ground!! To M1: Do something!!
I prefer New Asia Bar for the comfort but they seem to have implemented a much higher cover charge at S$25 these days, 1-Altitude didn't use to charge a cover too but they do now. It's S$15 for the first drink and still quite reasonable, and when it starts to increase then I will think twice about going.
It was a nice chill-out place, but we got bored and decided to head elsewhere for dessert. We had the yummy Taiwanese shaved ice (I miss them lots!!) along Liang Seah Street... a place more happening than Clarke Quay these days! I love places that offer hungry people food late into the night, how considerate ;)
It's a little early to celebrate my birthday, as the Germans said it's not auspicious to. But Singaporeans are just a bit kiasu, aren't we? Anyway, I never really thought of it as a celebration but it was nice to spend some time together with the people I like :) Thank you peeps.
Ho Chi Minh, I am coming~
