Stomp bash

Went to the stomp bash at St James last nite, it was supposed to start at 7pm but we went for dinner first before going down so we reached at about 8.20pm. Bash was at Bellini Room to be exact which was at the back of the St James and when we finally got inside, hoards of people were already there, so we were like stuck at the entrance part. Just so nicely when I got myself a drink, Juz B of the Superband fame came up stage to perform. Finally got a chance to see them live, i quite admire them for their courage to join in a chinese tv program and this malay Capella group actually advanced to top 6(i think) in the competition. Well, they really rocks, sang a few songs and totally warm up the crowd.

A little far from stage but its still Juz B

Emcees for the night were Najib Ali and Annabelle francis, Najib was real funny and Annabelle is really pretty. So after Juz B performed, we went in the main area and to the sides and sat on those high chairs of 1 of the tables and we saw Maia Lee. Then she proceeded to sit behind us, but on the same table. I must say she's really quite hott, pity Dawn Yang didn't turn up, at least we didn't saw her. Then there's more performances by i dunno who, but one of them shld be Sylvester Sim, at least according to Stomp he did perform, so shld be him. Okay then out of the blue Maia went to the bottom of the stage and gave what seems to be a paper flower to him while he's singing. At this point in time, we already moved away from the table and to the sides and Maia Lee instead of going back to her table stood in front of me. Our distance now was prob less than 20cm since its pretty packed. As she was standing in front of me, i realised how 'tall' she was, she barely reach my chin and she already on heels man. And i 'touched' her, okay now, people like Colin would prob be having geil(german word for horny) thoughts but it was actually just a tap on the shoulder cos the waiter who was clearing the buffet dinner was yelling 'Excuse me'. Gotcha!

The party ended with them thanking the sponsors and giving a quick introduction on the perks of the stomp card and also the lucky draw. Though i'm on a lucky streak, i wasn't lucky to enuff to win on 3/247 odds to win canon photo printer, nokia n95 or an Acer laptop. How sad... okay end of party, after tat was free drinks til i dunno wad time but we managed to get out before it started raining real heavily. To mi surprise there's a prata restaurant there but i was more interested in the japanese charcoal grill restaurant, looks pretty gd, menu too. Biggest mistake here was to take bus 65 home instead of MRT. It took frigging close to 2 hrs to get to tampines, shouldn't have listened to eugene, this by the way broke all records of mine for the longest time spent on a public bus.

Okay this part is for the easterners, especially Colin. For those who still dunno, there's a HK cafe in tampines now, its at the CC opp the polyclinic. Menu wise i must say the variety is really a lot, i think at least 50 different items, price wise was okay. I ordered a zha jiang mian($3) or noodles in minced meat sauce, a Xiao long bao($3) and a milk tea($1.20). The noodles was pretty good, the meat sauce was really fragrant and the serving was quite a lot too, xiao long bao had lotsa soup inside but tastewise not as gd as the ones i had at imperial treasure but still quite okay. There's no service charge or gst so all price stated in menu is nett. Overall its economical and quite okay, best of all its in tampines. Its opened from 6am-1am and service was quite gd and food was served rather fast, worth a try.
