A dinner held at Flutes @ the Fort

Oh my goodness! Time flies really fast. It's now middle of January, and I realised that I have soooo many pictures from last year yet to be posted! And I'm really sorry for my lack of posts here recently because I have been really busy since December, with so much work & events, and my vacation and other things happening all at the same time. Geez, I could barely breathe...

Anyway, I have here some pictures from a dinner we had at FLUTES @ THE FORT early December. The food was really good, and we had lots of fun. I didn't bring my camera, so pics courtesy of Tweetie & Michelle.

Hmm... I look like a wine promoter!!!

OK, So there was a vintage Red pot box just outside of the restaurant. And me & Michelle decided to cam-whore... (^o^)

After dinner, the very homely people decided to just go home, Grinch Tweetie probably had the intention to party after that just didn't quite make it due to "HIGHLY" unforeseen circumstances. So that left Pooh Bear, Marta, Michelle & myself to head down to Clarke Quay. And whilst we were across the road from Clarke Quay's Whampoa Garden, Pooh Bear got very excited seeing the GMAX horizontal bungee thingy. We headed there and found out they had a new ride, the GX5. For those of you who don't know what that is, it looks like this...

Michelle & me were thinking "NO, NO, NO" only to find out Pooh Bear just bought tickets for all of us!!! Now, do remember that we just had our dinner (and quite a fair bit of wine!) And we were headed for the high platform to ride on the damn swing thing... SHIT!

Marta was laughing excitedly and Pooh Bear was edging us on to it, but both Michelle & me were like freaking out already. We didn't quite have a choice as we were "ushered" up onto the monster and buckled up. We were then briefed safety instructions, but none of what those boys were saying registered in my brains. And after 10 mins of buckling up and safety talk, we were hoisted up like 42 freaking meters at a 45 degree angle into the air. I swore at that time my heart was about to stop beating... I was really freaking out!!! Not funny lor...

At the highest point, we were dangling there for like 20 seconds before Pooh Bear had the honour of pulling the cable to release the swing. The next thing I knew, we were all "free-falling" from up there, and being propelled 100 freaking meters across the river. It was HORRENDOUS! Not funny at that time. I literally felt like one had just jumped off a building to commit suicide... After some 3 full swings, or at least till the swing lost momentum, we were lowered to safety. My legs felt like jelly... Michelle said she almost fainted. But the good thing was, the 4 of us managed to keep our food in our tummies!

Geez... It was a really scary experience. But I'm glad we took that ride. because I don't think I'll ever want to go up on it, ever again!!!

After that, we desperately need a drink. We wondered around Clarke Quay for a while (because we were still shaking from the ride) and decided to hop into FASHION BAR for a while.

I didn't quite like the atmosphere at FASHION BAR and there was nothing much happening unfortunately, so we moved on to ONE NIGHT STAND after 1 drink. The live band at ONS was more interesting and at least Marta & Pooh Bear was dancing their asses off! Hehehe...

**P/S: Thank you all for your festive greetings and well-wishes. I'm sorry I haven't been replying my shout-box. But do stay here with me. I'll be loading more pics from my vacation, as well as visits from buddies all over Asia soon. Cheers!

***P/P/S: To all my muffin lovers out there, sorry, royal muffins were far too delicious to have survived till now. All wiped out before I could say Bon Apetit!
