4 Brothers & White Beauty, The Ark Club

Attended a free preview of Four Brothers on Weds evening, thanks to my ex-colleagues who included me in their “guests list”. Thought I will be early, but ended up reaching there just in time as I had spent quite some time queuing up and then frying the Ham-Chi-Pengs that I had bought for them.
Yes, the famous Ham-Chi-Peng Stall located at Maxwell Food Centre. 7 for $1. But self-service hor. First time frying those HCPs, almost couldn’t handle with the flipping of 14 pieces at one go. Fortunately, the lady stallholder and the auntie behind me also helped out.

As for the movie, ahem, I’ll grade it a “C”. It's a NC16 film as it contains the 2 Vs—Violence & Vulgarities. Like what my friends said, their dialogues were all peppered with the F* word for almost every sentence.

Went for dessert after the movie ended. The place where my friends wanted to patronize was full house. So we walked futher downed the street to another dessert shop called Indulge , located at Tan Quee Lan Street.

Guess what. Just outside the shop, we saw a signboard “ Wed Nites. Ladies Nite. 50% off."

Mai tu liao. Go in lah. Our group consisted of 6 gals and 1 guy. So, only "Shrek" loo-gee.

I ordered this dessert call “White Beauty” (还嫌自己不够白啊？), which is actually White Almond Paste. $3 for a small bowl, but of cos, being a lady, I only need to pay $1.50. Took a pic of the dessert.

Yeah, very white hor.

“Fr”, the professional photographer commented that the whole feeling was too cold. And said I should be taking something like that.

With human element.

Understand what she mean, But in this case I wanna show my friend how the dessert looks like mah. If I took something like that, seems to lose the focal point. My verdict of the dessert: I ‘d prefer the Chinatown $1 almond paste and Indulge’s $3 almond paste. But guess it is worth it to pay $1.50 to chill out in the cozy dessert place . There are other desserts too. Perhaps we gals can try them someday. The place is rather comfy, with sofa seats and music playing in the background. They were playing 游鸿明’s album that nite. It had been quite some time since I last listened to his hits such as 七月一号，恋上另个人.

Tour of The Ark Club
Went for a "tour" of the Ark Club located at Safra Town Club located opposite Clark Quay MRT on Thur evening. The Ark Music school have been shifted from Apollo Centre to Safra.

Alicia, who is the lady boss gave me a tour of the Ark Club, which tool up the whole of level 3 . The left wing was the spa wing. Saw the steam bath area, the lockers, changing room, massage room. Then went up to the forth floor which is the gym (where the Safra members were exercising) and the jacuzzi. Hmm, guess soon there will be Ark Club-cum Safra gym package offered to Ark Members.
This is what you see when you stepped out from the lift (the reception area is actually on yr left).

I wonder if the vocal instructors are fed up, will they resort to throwing these pebbles at their students? Kekeke.

Went into the classroom. Yes, There is actually a wash basin and mirror in each classrooms as the whole level used to be a spa centre . This naughty student made faces at me when I was taking the pic. =P


This is the view of the classroom. I was aready standing at the furthest end of the room. Notice the white thingy at the side?


It is something like this. A shower tap?


Nice decor on the left wall of the classroom.
Hmm...... that's all, the rest of the photos din turn out well.
