morton's was...hmmm...disappointing......i know i'm cheapskate, but i didn't expect the complimentary steak sandwiches to appear only once every 40 minutes.

a waiter with a tray full of sandwiches would herald so much attention from the eagle-eyed crowd, that i was surprised he didn't drop the whole thing. or perhaps he basked in evil delight - at making us wait for so long, just to get our hands on ONE tiny, finger length, yummilicious steak sandwich done to perfection. yes. ONE, per person, per round, ONLY.

i was there for about an hour and a half, and i had 2 sandwiches. granted they were free (usual price: $20 for FOUR of the teeny tiny things), but hrmph...i was craving for MORE!!!

plus the service was really quite slow and lousy for a hotel, and a restaurant of supposedly high standards. hock requested for a drinks menu, and it never came. we asked for the bill twice, and waited, and waited, and waited. it was only on the third time, when we asked the guy-who-looked-like-he's-in-charge, that we got the bill...and it was wrong too...they charged us for TEN martinis..when our table only had three...bleahz...

oh but those sandwiches were yum......(maybe the wait made them even MORE YUM..but STILL!!!!!!!) haha

went over to rouge and then to zouk after that...gracie and huat went on a last-minute shopping thingy with me to get a top for clubbing, coz i didn't want to look all corporate in my pants and long-sleeved shirt...10minutes at topshop got me a white top (thanks to huat's fantastic straight eye for the straight girl) that looked decently clubby...

i was primed for a good night, and a good night it was indeed. after going MIA from the clubbing scene for such a long time, it felt good to be back in the whole mingle wingle of the "beautiful people".

despite my heels giving me terribly achy, painful feet, i managed to dance/stand/perch my night away to the rather good music at both rouge and zouk. to cap it off, there was a fight (or two) at zouk and we caught some of the action outside, when the police arrested this retarded malay dude who was blabbering away and resisting and supposedly molested fiona xie in velvet. -_-


so anywayz...that exciting night was the start of a rather tiring but enjoyable weekend. walked around in bugis with my parents on saturday (and bought a new work bag!), did my nails, then met gracie for a nice, quiet dinner, and sat around with ang, bernz, huat and ian before heading home...squeezed in a swim at the club on sunday before going to town to get another new, bigger work bag (woohoo!), then had a serene night at club and driving around east coast with xiang...


it's now the beginning of my first, full work week...with hope, i'll have more constructive things to do today than on friday, when i felt totally crap and useless.

i'm the first in the office at 0845...nothing to do, that's why i'm blogging now haha my colleagues only came in after 0915! haha early bird catches the worm? more like early zenn turns on the aircon... =)

i need a cup of hot tea......
