Xiaoville: Tree top walk, My first salsa class and Pussy's birthday

It has been a friday filled with events. It was considered half day today at work because the second half of the day was used for sort of an excursion. My unit brought us for the HSBC Treetop walk somewhere near macritchie reservoir. You get to cross this really long and high suspension bridge that is above the canopy of the forest as part of the walk, i didn't even know this place existed before this excursion. Its really nice if you love nature. But now is not the time to go i guess, there's no fresh air for you to breathe in, the air now is that hazy that you can't even breathe properly...its really bad.

On top of the suspension bridge

Its this high

In the evening, i met up with Mabelline for our first salsa class! Had trouble finding the place at first because i'm not really a chinatown person...its really hard getting around there. Coincidentally, its lantern festival today and they closed eu tong sen road for some exhibition or float show i guess. When we finally found it, we realised that it is also a bar. I was the only new guy that day so my cousin Yanqing had to teach me personally the basics of the basics of salsa dancing. I think i have trouble remembering the steps although they are not very difficult...i had trouble getting the right timing to spin the girls and pull them towards me haha...its really not easy..at least not as easy as i have imagined. But nevertheless it was really fun and i think i'll go down again next week.

I then had dinner with Mabelline at a chicken rice stall somewhere in chinatown before rushing off to meet Pussy and friends to celebrate his birthday. He chose this pub called Suba at Millenia Walk. The place is nicely done up with nice music and a nice ambience, but there are not many people around! By the time i got there, they already ordered a bottle of champagne that cost $160...and it could at most fill only 7 glasses! I don't think i even paid so much for a bottle on my birthday a few years ago at Ritz Carlton lol...who cares pussy paid for it haha. Anyway, the manager of the place was really friendly and knowing its pussy's birthday, he got him some flaming pepper dance drink and another shot later. The 2 shots and the glass of champagne proved too much for pussy to take and he puked on the way back hahaha. What a memorable and high birthday it was for him. Oh anyway, Bernerd, Weijian and I bought him a pair of havanas slippers...Happy birthday once again pussy.
