Weekend

Went to catch Hancock in town after Hubby got off from work. If not for the fact that I have movie vouchers from Shaw Theatres, I will never watched movie on a weekend nor in Shaw!

I dislike the Shaw theatres! These theatres are in town and my gosh the seats and the theatre is so run down. =/ Sigh... and it must be just our luck. Everytime, we go to watch movies in Shaw, the people sitting beside us are the kind that keeps talking! Once in Shaw Bugis and this time in Shaw Orchard!

My goodness. So irriating can! Come here to watch movie or to talk?!

And the ticket sales ppl in Bugis are the worse lot! I queue to buy tickets like any others and there was 1 counter which was empty though it was stated "telephone / online booking" but there was NO one in the queue at all. I'm too used to the GV system, hence I went to the counter, that man at the counter, pointed to the tag and turned away from me!!! Damn! What kind of service is this?!

I understand it's online / telephone booking, but NO one in the queue and the normal queue was long, hence he shd open his counter ma.

Argh!

Anyway minus the staff and seats and irriating talking people in the movie theatre, Hancock is a nice show. Go catch it if you've not watched it yet.

Went for the sunset mass in St Peter and Paul then we walked down to Clarke Quay for dinner.

Hubby suddenly have the inspiration to have dinner at Fisherman's Wharf, hence, we slowly made our way there from Bugis. It's quite near actually and the evening was breezy and cooling, hence of course, we took a slow stroll there.

Our first time to Fisherman's Wharf. We've passed by a few times and each time, we thought that the place will be expensive hence, we always give it a miss... but wow... we are surprised by the costs!

We had a dory something something with drinks each and well.... it's nothing to be crazy over with.... tastes very normal.... I think Botak Jones Fish & Chips are better as compared.

But the tables and chairs caught my eyes.... All wooden and it's not the usual restaurant where they air-con the whole place. It's fan and well, pray for windy nights too. I think the upper level is some MLM thing as there are ppl who comes and go into the place and up they went.

Another thing that caught my eye was the murals on the wall. HUGE!

Whole wall was plastered with some sea scene la, cannot capture as there were ppl sitting at the table in the middle of the mural.

But, I personally dislike the service there. Granted, this place is not the high class kind of eatery hence, not to expect very good service. But hey! This IS an eatery right? Then how come, every and I really mean EVERY 4 seater has a "reserved" tag on it the moment the table is cleared of leftovers and general mess?!

Then, the staff will be standing around at the counter chit chatting and looking glum. =/ Sigh..... They want business or not wan?!

Only the small tables, 2 seaters were open and the table is small lor, so with just a main each (which is served in a woven basket) and drinks, there's no space for share any sides or anything at all la.

Anyway, I guess, it's either you like it or you dislike it, as Hubby's colleague loves this place and we were... well.... don't share that feeling. I guess, the only only good thing that came out was, we got a few glimse of the NDP firworks thru reflections on the glass panels of The Central.

Fisherman's Wharf is located at 27/29 New Bridge Road, can't miss it, it's opp The Cental. But honestly, I'll recommend Botak Jones anytime!
