bottoms UP closed DOWN =(

Ok, my long awaited entry for you guys.. It's been awhile since I blogged about interesting stuff 'coz I've been busy and lazy(yes, i know you've heard the excuse a million times but this is for the benefit of the people who I've recently found out read my blog, but more details about that another time) Yes, Bottoms Up has been closed for more than a month already then I write this entry.. I know I'm slow.. But this is the place where I worked, slept, ate, drank(alot!) and played for half of last year, so I must still write a tribute to it.. Now that it closed down I can finally tell everyone that we played MJ there and show you all photos of the 3rd floor!!

The Beginning

As most of you know, I was actually working at Dbl C pub at Boat Quay last year with Yvonne but the boss there was kinda.. well, bossy and I didn't really enjoy working there. More over, the pay kinda sucked. Then by some fate or something, I bumped into Zi Chao after work and he told me they were still hiring (actually when they just open he got tell me before, but i felt that working for friends might get abit hard coz sometimes might not know where to draw the line between work and play) so I went to try it out with Von and the starting of my super slack life began.. I'll try to keep it less wordy and more photo-y k! Yes, there'll be alot of red faced and glassy-eyed photos. And you all can see how much I changed!! All the different hairstyles and how I became fatter coz of alcohol. =( But NVM, it was worth it!





the girl i used to see almost everyday




ah hao, bartender cum cashier cum cleaner cum waiter. lolz.






sitting behind the bar zhi lian-ing after drinking abit too much



with the 2 lau jiaos, belle and meijun(we were all high when we took this pic)


me and belle, my 'best friend' in bottoms!

The funny thing is, when i first saw her when i was just a customer i hated her coz of some stupid guy, but then when i started working then realised that she's so sweet and cute and blur!! i miss her.. =( 5-10 queen lehz.. nobody can win her..

This was the first couple of months, before the 2 lazy owners (Esmund and Zi Chao) actually decided to come back and check on the pub every once in awhile. Then Von and Meijun quit and those 2 started appearing much more often.. Then the MJ and the clubbing and the outings started!! We could just work till 6am then play MJ till 1pm then go out for lunch and maybe walk walk or catch a show then go back to work!! Madness but super fun la..

The People (Friends and regulars who became friends)



tracy, ex-waitress who came back to work, a super small size girl with super big guts


jie ying and jenn

See the game machine behind? I think I spent at least $500 on it in the 6 month I spent at Bottoms. Everyday can spend around $15 on the 11up game, trying to break record..


with my sweetheart!!


ah hao's birthday





ah liang and ah xiong (belle's bf) , caught in the act. heh.



sharon, ah xiong's sis. (it's like a family tree or wat?! lolz.)

i think we took this pic in the toilet. this is the night we played rnb songs on the ktv system and danced at the 1st floor. really madness. but the fun kind!



xiao pang, one of the youngest



zen and raymond


zen







alex, my ex 'darling'. lolz. the very first mj room!



ah hao and stupid. lolz.




so now i'm with stupid. keke, thats matthew, super super regular who ended up staying in bottoms 24/7.




fengwen and mel. can say mel was the one who started everything coz i know zc through her.



kenneth the gay boy. he has a gf though. lolz.


pauline and samantha, super young kids. don't ask. =x

and how can i forget my bestie right? i dunno why but i only have these two pictures.. so to the rest of the girls, don't kill me ok! i tried to find photos with the rest of you inside but can't find.. think jas never send me!

Then we have the birthday celebrations where everyone gets dead drunk!! First up.. Alex!




I think he ran outside to escape from drinking but in the end everyone came out and took pictures of him looking like a drunk. Even took turns posing with him. Lolz.

Next, Ah Seng and Vison's birthday..










The cake so cool hor! After that we all went upstairs to sleep, but not before graffiti-cating (is there such a word?) ah seng's back. Guess which signature is mine!! Haha.

And of coz there's MY birthday! But I only have 2 photos coz Steph refuses to pass me the rest till my next birthday! Oh well, it's just repetitive pictures of me looking drunk with different people anyway.





the one year overdue 'surprise' from my babes

martell-ed bliss. lolz.

And I would like to again thank EVERYONE who took care of me that day. Yes i know I was stumbling around like a drunk elephant and the reason was stupid, so ya.. I think you guys will be happy to know that I haven't gotten drunk since then!! I think. Haha. =X Okok, no more drinking on my birthday. It kinda defeats the purpose when you're not able to remember anything about your birthday.

i dunno who edited these photos, but i know after we took this we went to the dim sum restaurant at chin swee road to eat. Yummy!

And then we also went clubbing together afew times..


with huifen and tracy

The first time i saw huifen, she looked damn xialan and i didn't really like her also. But then i found out she just doesn't really have a habit of smiling and eventually we became quite close. I miss her la! Everytime call her she got so many other plans.. Hmph.

marcus, esmund's (ex)friend
brandon, marcus' friend
zi chao looking even more blur than usual
that's huifen's finger btw.

So what did we do the most at Bottoms? I guess it would be SLEEP! Coz after drinking shot after shot and getting a major headache, the sofa looks as inviting as a big soft bed! First, second and third floor.. All also got people sleep before! Lolz.















In the toilet also can sleep!! Haha, power la.. Btw the sofa really is quite comfortable to sleep on. Only thing I worry about are the cockroaches and rats running loose.. =X

Other random stuff


with a PINK pail, mopping is no longer a chore!! not that i remember ever mopping the floor there.. hee.


this bin belongs to bottoms up. lolz.

The last day

I purposely went to take pictures of the hidden places to show you all. Plus also for memory's sake la.. I was so sad ok!!



behind the bar on the first floor




let's take the stairs to the third floor..



the really messy 'living room'


walk straight to go to the toilet..





got bathtub somemore!! nice.
next to the toilet is my favourite.. mj room!!


then next door is the tv/gaming room.


Doesn't it look/sound fun?!! Really miss that place alot.. It's way way more fun than this.. There's the behind the scenes dramas, the bitching, the fighting, the scandals, the gossiping and the bonding. LOLZ.






And finally, a proper picture with Esmund. I dunno why but ZC wasn't there on the last day!! Keke.. Anyway, it was fun but all good things come to an end I guess..

But another came along.. Not long after Bottoms Up closed, Rush reopened at BQ!!!! Hahaha. So ya, I am still going there once a week at least! So happy got my techno fix!~~ I don't care if you say I'm childish coz I don't wanna be mature anyway! Pui.

totally random.

i was in the midst of blogging a long longgggggg post but something else caught my eye and i ended up reading it for hours. i promise i will finish up my long post tml!! if i have time before rush that is. oh ya, i didn't officially announce that rush reopened right?? well it did!!!!!!!! God is on my side..

hmm. and i realised that alot of interesting people have been reading my blog. i wanted to write some bitchy stuff but then again, don't wanna hurt the people i don't intend to hurt. hah.

whatever the case, you won't find anything you wanna know here. the things you really really wanna read about is written in my personal diary. you have no idea.. =)

anyway, i miss my silly dum dum! hmph. he must be sleeping like a pig now.. ZHU!!

the OTHER boleyn girl

if only history was this interesting back in high school.

just came back from watching the show and it was so good that i feel an urge to start my movie blogging again, this time with a proper web page. but we shall wait till i'm hard working enough for that and just make do with these occasional movie posts for now ya?

i learnt 2 things from this show. although the show is not totally accurate, most of it tallies with some facts i found on wiki.

1. one of the most powerful kings in history, king henryVII is just like most of the other guys around. ie, a bastard. in the show he was attracted to both the boleyn sisters, in actual fact, he had 6 wives.

2. women always had strong influence over men. it was because of the shrewd anne boleyn that king henryVII was excommunicated by the Pope at that time and eventually broke off from the Catholic church.

seems like the past wasn't much different from the present eh? go catch the show, you won't regret it.

a quick post

omg i'm so gonna get killed for not sleeping yet!! i found the blog quizzes webby and got hooked! spent a good one hour plus doing the quizzes.. here are some of the results..


The Keys to Your Life



Anything good in your life comes from your ability to play and be free.

The best way for you to solve a problem is to let go of it.

Anything bad in your life comes from fooling yourself or clinging to illusions.

Be strong enough to see the world clearly. Learn from your mistakes.





What Your City Walk Means



You are optimistic and hopeful. Sometimes you do get disappointed by expecting too much.

You are generally confident and friendly with strangers. You are well mannered and sociable.

Money is fairly important to you. You aren't super greedy, but you enjoy spending money on yourself.

You enjoy the world around you, and you thrive on new environments. You can be easily surrounded by natural or man made beauty.





Your Life is 74% Perfect



Your life is pretty darn perfect. You don't have much to complain about.

Of course, your life is occasionally less than perfect. But you're usually too happy to notice.






You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To



Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could.

Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most.

But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you?

It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low.

What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever

What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth



the tests results are actually quite accurate but damn!! why are the chances of me becoming a vampire low???! sobz. =(

one more thing

i'm gonna miss u my dear slut. u know who u are. =(

a love story mystery

i know i'm very easily satisfied when it comes to movies, but i've got to tell you, i just watched one movie which made me feel so many many emotions!! [definitely, maybe] was touching, sweet, romantic and just made me wanna know what the ending was.. i was at the edge of my seat till i knew for sure the end was what i wanted it to be and i was so so so happy! no movie has made me this happy for a long time. lolz. go watch it and i think you'll know what i mean.

i was pondering about the whole show long after it finished (actually not that long coz we watched the 4.05am show and now its 6.46am) and i realised.. every love story is a mystery. coz you would never know what the ending is. and that's what makes love so magical and sweet and awesome!! of coz, i guess the best love story of all would never have an ending and just go on forever and ever!!

but is there really a forever? i used to believe in it.. till i grew up and realised the world is not all sugar and spice and everything nice. thanks to all the assholes around, love is just a 4 letter word. it becomes something we are scared of coz we're afraid of getting hurt.

so.. do i still believe in happily ever after then? well.. even after meeting some really crappy people, i still do. i don't know why but i do. probably coz i have my head in the clouds most of the time.. and in all fairness, some people would probably consider me as one of the assholes around too. haiz. it's really a vicious circle i guess.

so, am i gonna get my happily ever after? i dunno. its a love. story. mystery.

p.s. lolz. sorry i'm just too into the show, so many emotions, just had to blog this out. updates soon. =)
