The long and short about The Night I Went Pubbing

I have no idea why, but the people in the office have been giving me funny looks the past two days. Maybe the Olay is finally working its miracles on me :)

Anyway, I learnt from the movies that people always go for drinks to get over a broken heart. Since Nerd was still sian following about his blotched birthday celebration with Heartless Girl, I decided to go drown the sorrows with him on Saturday night. We went to this pub near Tanjong Pagar at the recommendation of Sushi Eating Friend.

It was an eye-opener for me because I’ve never been to a pub before. I always thought pubs will be infested with hot and scantily clad babes, but I think that must have been a misconception because there was not a single female in there. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. Maybe Channel 5 was showing something interesting that night.

There were a lot of guys with big muscles dressed in tight singlets though. I think they were inappropriately dressed because the aircon was way too cold. I guess that was why they have to sit really, really close to each other.

We took a look at the drinks list and were confused immediately because it all sounded very foreign. The staff wasn’t very helpful either. I asked the bartender whether if the SnowBall taste good, and he just looked at me weirdly and replied, “Very, very good.” After some serious consideration, Nerd and I decided that we were not comfortable with swallowing anything unfamiliar, so we ended up ordering Ribena and two bowls of nuts.

Despite the initial hiccups, it was really fun chatting with Nerd. We spent most of the time talking about the women in our life the lack of women in our life, and bitched about Ms Tan like there’s no tomorrow. I must add that Nerd is very kaypoh. He has been with us for only two weeks, but managed to dig up gossips that even I haven’t heard of, such as how Ms Tan was on the verge on getting married a few years ago before abruptly calling the whole thing off. She has not dated since.

It was great fun, but we decided to call it a night because Big Walk was on the following day, and because we were too cheapo to replenish our over-priced Ribena. Nerd was also complaining about how all the toilet cubicles were occupied, with the users taking a damn long time.

We happened to bump into Office Bimbo just outside the pub. She took a look at us, took a look at the neon signboard, and hurried away without saying hi. I don’t know why, but she looked very, very disturbed.

With Love,
