That's why it's good, no riff-raff or wannabes!

Well, to be fair, I did meet someone wonderful there. What could've but isn't is entirely my fault, though.

If you only knew what Emerald Hill or Cuppage were like before they got totally buggered (demolished and rebuilt 'in their image'). They used to be 'real' and really nice, now they're just plastic.

p.s. Sorry am I sounding as jaundiced as SMS yet? I must have been in the express queue, lol...

"Why you damned noisy kids; you don't know how easy you got things going for you. Why, during my time, we had to walk 10 miles early in the morning and 20 miles going back late at night, even in 24 inch snow or scorching heat. And it was uphill--bothways! And we didn't have any of these fancy-shmancy iphones and tablets and doohickeys and doodads. All we had was a fire and we made the most out of it and we loved it!"

A slumber party - so you have to take a teddy bear along and you get to read bedtime stories?! Did the fact it was in Clarke Quay help you to blow your load much quicker than normal?

think SEXY pjs.. instead of reading bedtime stories your drinking the night away... I aint got no issue with clarke quay, its quite alright actually... i've been to another spot called No. 5 thats at Emerald hill i think... pretty chilled out place but i guess if you cant take the crowds than you might want to skip it... but thats the thing about Singapore isnt it, there are crowds literally everywhere

So what was the name of the bar? Surely you can remember that, if it's was as hot has you claim it was. I mean, seeing you have only been here for a little while it had to be pretty recent, right? If you weren't here then, how do you know it was "hot"? Or do you have a overactive imagination?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

thanks for the info, I'll be sure to give it a big miss!!

But at least you are starting to explore other places like Emerald Hill - there is some hope for you yet.

P.S. I think you'd be well suited to a night in OT. You're always guaranteed a bit of slumber fun after a visit there

Apparently they're going to 'do a Clarke quay' on Boat quay...

Welcome to plastic-land...

@BillyB.. Sorry but what do you mean by OT?
@JR8... Do a clarke quay on boat quay? what do you mean?

off the beaten track dont forget numerous outdoor drinking places in Geylang, which is cheap and can view the FOB street walkers

recommend also martini bar at Hyatt or rooftop bars above one fullerton and boathouse bar.

coupke of place on top floor of orchard central offering good early evening offers
