* Chilling out Hotspots & yada yada *
Exams are approaching real soon.. pressure is heating up. So many subjects and I dont know which one to start. 6 subjects to revise, wah seh, problem big time. The mugging will begin soon ladies and gentlemen, standby to fall in at Suntec Starbucks 24/7. Sebei stress ah.. And on top of that, my driving basic theory test is happening on my examination day, double stress. I need the boost of caffine to charge up.Hai, I was late for lesson again, think I was 45 mins late lol.. but lucky the lecturer never say anything. Usually she have alot of comments for the latecomers, criticize criticize and yada yada.. Chilled out with Erica and Alvin over at our usual haunt after school. The good old Hk Cafe located at Marina Square after lesson. We were waiting for Val to come after he is done fixing the new lowering springs and sports suspension for his car.
He finally met us around 7+ 8, and we decided to go for a ride and find another chill out place. Inital plan was actually to go Changi Airport, than after awhile switch to East Coast. But while Val was driving along the express way, I non chalantly mentioned about my dream apartment over at Cozy Bay to them, and suddenly Erica suggested we go there to chill. We were like, hmm.. what the heck, let's go!
It's just a short and bumpy drive (the lowering springs and suspension are darn hard, need sometime to get use to it lol), we finally arrived at cozy bay. The first reaction I got was, WAH! The place is darn cool la, and its very peaceful and its by Kallang River. I think I have good taste la, wanting to have my dream bachelor pad over at such a good place.
Apprantly Cozy bay is the name of the cafe (or bar?). It is situated directly opposite Singapore Indoor Stadium. Its extremely quiet and peaceful, and the breeze was kinda good and revitalizing. The ambience is very romantic, and of course to prove my point, there are some couples there making out on the bridge that links to the indoor stadium directly. And I must say, the cafe is darn huge.
We quickly settled down and place our order. Me, Erica and Alvin shared a jug of fruit punch (had enuf caffine for the day), and Val ordered Ice Lemon Tea. Erica ordered wedges and its damn good, or perhaps we were all hungry at that point of time lol. The service is quite good IMO, and the price is pretty reasonable for a place with such good settings. Sadly we stayed there for about an hour plus and left, as it was getting late. Oh, budding couples out there should consider this dating hotspot if you didnt know already, the only disadvantage is that you will need a car to get there. No Bus. Or grab a taxi there and of course call a cab home when your done. Heres some badly taken pics from yours truthly:
The surrounding ambience. Kallang River. Indoor Stadium. The Bridge. At the time when I took this shot, there was about 3 couples making out there.
The Cafe. The tower is also part of the cafe. Nice for romantic dates. Blur Pic, for I took this shot in a hurry. But heck, see this as an artistic shot will ya? :D
The Fruit Punch. Lemon Tea (Glass bottle). The Potato Wedges. Featuring our Best Friend, Marlboro Ciggies lol.Well, I will definitely go back there again when I can. I am starting to like Cozy Bay. And when I finally get my driving license, this will definitely be my first destination. Man I just cant wait.
Today, Well, the usual. I was late for lesson again *bleh*. Hanged out in the library to continue with my SSIT assignment. To my suprise, Eugene took half day leave and came to school to look for us. Waited till he came and we set off for lunch, and Erica went off to meet her bf for lunch.
We decided to catch the movie Mr Bean, as the timeslot was just nice. And off we went to Cathay. Erica met us directly at Plaza Sing and we walked there. Everyone was semi drenched as it was still drizzling heavily and we all shared umbrellas. There were like 5 of us. Me, Alvin, Jeff, Eugene and Erica. Too bad Val and Cal cant join us.
I must say one thing, THE MOVIE IS DARN GOOD LA! Must watch for all Mr Bean fans like me. Brings back the nostalagic memories of the past, while catching Mr Bean on the TV. The theatre was full even though it was only 3.15 in the afternoon. We all had good laughs, the theatre simply went hysterical watching Mr Bean and all his stupid acts. LoL. Sadly, my mood was marred alittle from a little episode of what happened in the afternoon while I was talking to her. But the movie cheered me up :).
A Die die must watch show. I rate it 6 out of 5 popcorns LoL.

Wah, the Dao Huay damn good, in fact, it was the best I ever tasted. I think many peeps also know the name of Rochor Road Dao Huay, this is it!
5 of us ordered 5 dao huays (come in hot and cold), and 3 yu tiao(s). Tao Huay and yu tiao is one of the world best fusion la. Anyway, the yu tiao is pretty good as well. And its dirt cheap! About 2 bucks per person. And its tasty and very filling (that was my dinner). I even da bao for my mum, and she she even call me to buy more next time LoL.
Anyway, Eugene left after eating as he have to head home. Erica brought the rest of us to a cafe near by to chill out. Guess what it's called? Mr Bean Cafe! I mean, literally that Mr Bean, not that 1 that sells dao huay lol.. Wah, so qiao, we watch Mr Bean the Movie and we get to chill out at the cafe with some Mr Bean's theme.
The ambience was pretty good, and the seats have got cushion. Shiok. There's some crowd that was mainly formed up of working executives. Our bunch were the most shabbily dressed among them lol.. What the heck.. The drinks are ok and the price too. Standard charges. Not bad.. will go back again soon. Perhaps on Saturday? LoL.. oh well.. We stayed there till around 940 and we all called it a day, and home sweet home.
Hopefully next time I will take some pics of the Mr Bean Cafe heh.. till than.. tata :).
