tanjong pagar

Tanjong Pagar is a place in the CBD that has a lot of history. At least it is according to Wiki, the omniscient cyber presence, because I wouldn’t have lived here on earth long enough to know.

Now, there are lots of places rich in cultural history that you can visit in this business district. And if that is your cup of tea, fine with me. Enjoy.

But first, you might have to know how to get there.  The easiest way, would be to get off at the Tanjong Pagar MRT station, that is on the East West line of the MRT.

What I do find interesting about Tanjong Pagar though, are their nightspots. Many of which are closely guarded secrets to people “in the know”.

Though, if you do google Tanjong Pagar, THIS dodgy website does come up as the first few links on the search. Weird huh. Heh. I wonder what it has to do with the area at all.

Anyways, one place that has long been popular, is UNION SQUARE. It actually is a place known for being a salsa club. How I learnt about it? Pick up artists.

Don’t ask me. I just do my job.

But, here is a little snippet of a salsa night there.

Another one of my fave places in Tanjong Pagar, is J Bar.

Located within M Hotel. Its a great place to chill after work. Swish and snazzy on the inside… You can escape the band by heading out to the rooftop area which gives you nice views of the city.

It gets my vote as one of the best places in Tanjong Pagar mainly because during happy hour… the housepours and bottles are ONE FOR ONE!

Speaking of “happy”.  There are some “rainbow” happy clubs that are very well known worldwide to the pink community located in this area

However, if that is not your cup of tea. And you like hogging a mike, a great place to hang out with your friends would be Party World KTV at Shenton Way.

They have a thai bar that is right next door and pretty happening too! *cheeky grin*

Meanwhile…. that’s all for now.

evil thoughts

i posted on twitter last night.. how i was on the MRT and I was silently debating and wondering why this girl travelling on the train, was fully done…

With falsies.. (lashes, not boobs)

Fully manicured nails in a nice fashionable steel blue. Both on fingers and toes.

And yet… she did not wax her upper lip.

This was not her though. Just… an illustration of the upper lip shadow.

Hey. I’m Indian….

So I do know this is pretty much… NOT EXCUSABLE.

My fave blog ever

This is my fave blog ever.... Its called postasecret and it is one of the most awesome movements.

I wish i had the coffee-table books. I usually spend hours poring my time over the different confessions.

Some are happy and some are sad.


...

I am pretty sad right now because the first place that led me online.... moblogs is closing down. So i am feeling a little lost.

There are about... 4 to 5 years of my life written on that blog. Pictures.. everything.

Some of my deepest thoughts.

But at the same time... Something I learnt yesterday at Care group... reminded me, if we don't let go of the past, how can we embrace the future that was really meant for us.

Meanwhile... I mostly am on Twitter.


I will miss being Hostsara though.

Hello

Wow.
