Starbucks have a Christmas open house just now. From 5pm to 7pm. I was at City Hall slightly before 5pm. The queue there is very long. I left the place and go to a nearby kopitiam to have tea with my ex-colleagues.

Then I met the barflies at Bugis at 6:30 for the free starbucks. The queue was pretty long too. This is about half of it. The things we go to for 1 cup of free coffee.

The queue actually clears much faster than we expect. After about 5-10 minutes, we were making our orders.

Coffee at last
Yeah. Coffee! I had a mocha frapucino. It's quite easy to get a seat despite the long queue. Must be everyone come down just to get a free coffee and left. And the quality of the coffee is not as good as normal Starbucks. Must be due to mass production. Thats only my feel and guess.

After coffee, we went to a steamboat restaurant opposite Shaw Towers for our dinner. I was heard the 1 at the corner is nice, but it's too crowded so we settle on the 1 beside.

We ordered the pork ribs soup and the mala soup. The steamboat is not very good, but ok i guess.

After dinner, we head down to Hideout. Bel is going to sell it soon. Depends on the new owner, Hideout may just close down soon. There's 1 for 1 for us that night, so I had 2 pints of beer. Quite alotta things happened. There's another group of barflies who were drinking at the ktv pub downstairs. They came up to say hi at 1 time. There's this guy, who on seeing 1 of the gers with us, actually ran away. Not only that, when she goes downstairs to talk to them, and asked to hug him, he don't wan! This ger is 1 cool chick, and he runs away and refuse a hug. Some man.

Later, Bel danced a salsa with UMB. I've long heard UMB is a salsa sance instructor, but I've never seen him dance before. They dance really nice, and Bel said she's out of touch!

The nite ended with supper at prata shop downstairs and after that it's home.
