café del mar singapore opening party.
ended work yesterday at 5pm. drove down to sentosa with MV for dinner first.after dinner, we walked over to café del mar, which sits on the site formerly occupied by sunset bay. they renovated the building plus added lots of furniture on the beach! i'll describe everything later with the help of pictures lah, since everyone likes to say that a picture paints a thousand words (though i disagree lah.. but i digress..)
seeing that the place wasnt open yet, the staff were still making final preparations for the opening, we took advantage to take a few pictures and "test" out the furniture. hehe.. music was already playing at this point, albeit the sound system still being fine tuned, but good enough lah! haha..
MV and i walked over to the front to check out the building, where we noticed there were 2 queues.. specifically "media" and "invites".. whoa!! invites? how come we never get the invites sia?? we were asking each other.. since time was still on our side (btw. time has never been on my side. wonder why the sudden switch of allies... -.-), we went to the back (back here refers to the beach side) and MV approached a waitress. we asked her about the invites and how to receive one. but she had no idea.. she did mention something that interested us - 1930 to 2100 was invites only.. and the pink band signified free flow of house pours and carlsberg.. free drinks!! wooo~ haha.. (see lah DN. who ask you lazy to move your butt down here. wahahha..)
so back to the front we went, trying to find out how were the invites gotten. what made them more special than we.. lolx.. by now, people had started streaming in. some were carrying a postcard which we reckon is the invites. observing for about 15 minutes, we notice that there was nothing outstanding of these people! many looked like they were students even.. i also noticed that the invites list this girl at the door was holding was super thick lah! her hardboard plus the stack of names was easily 5cm at least (i know 5cm not very long lah.. but for a stack of paper.. it is can? i say it is lah!)
we started speculating if the invites were given out to all thosewho signed up at the café del mar website.. hmmm.. but both of us did! so where were the invites?? never mind. i told MV we really shld speak to one of them and ask.. so we walked up to this kind of black faced girl and ask..
me: hi. can i just ask, how were these invites given out?
Unwilling Girl: oh. they've all been given out already..
me: errr.. i knw. i mean how do you get one?
UG: they were sent by post or email...
at this juncture, she started talking to her friend who was walking towards her.. i was about to ask another guy how did those people get those invites when he motioned both of us to raise out our right wrist. he slapped on the pink band for us and we breezed past the bouncers.. woweee~!! hahhaa.. i turned to MV and we were like.. "that was fun!" hahahaha.. cheap thrill for us lah can? i also knw. so? noone's gonna spoil our little celebration dance that we did immediately after entering. (ok fine. that's a joke. we did no such dance lah. lolx.)
well.. to cut a long story short.. the crowd became sooo packed after that that getting a drink took nearly 45 minutes! and coz 2100 was fast approaching, we made a last ditch attempt to order 8 glasses (yes. just between the 2 of us..), succeeded and carried our loot out to the backside (pun intended). and we even managed to snag ourselves a pair of beach chairs! tonight must be our lucky night. haha..
so fast forward to when we left café del mar.. the first thing i saw in my letter box... you guessed it. one of those invites sitting there happily mocking me! wah lao!! we went through all that trouble for nothing!!! hahaha.. then when i turned on my laptop, i went to scrutinise the email... that was the invite lah!! again sia!! the subject put "You're Invited!" but nothing in the mail said i had to print out the email and show it to be part of the invited list lor!! and who even reads the subject?!?! (come on.. touch your heart. those who reads raise your right hand... see! i knew it. noone reads!)
oh well.. what a night of (cheap) thrills. haha..
p/s: next up. photos from café del mar... that's all everyone wants lah. admit it. haha..
