Welcoming Chinese New Year

To celebrate the coming of the Chinese New Year, we decided to indulge in booze. So, eight carefree and lovely girls got dressed to try out the newly discovered haven for women, Double O Bar, where every Wednesday is a Ladies Night event with an array of free-flowing drinks to choose from. The joint did not indeed disappoint us. We got drunk and danced the night away!

After waking up with a sore body and a splitting headache late in the afternoon, we agreed to spend the first day of a four day 'holiday' in the spirit of a Chinese New Year. And what better way to spend it is to go to the heart of the Chinese festivities, Chinatown! We roamed the streets and ate 'Satay' at one of the food stalls that lined the streets. To us, it seemed like eating in Cebu's famous 'Larsian'. The only thing missing is the popular 'dicer'. After feasting, we proceeded to Orchard to watch a movie. We debated on what movie to see with all the different choices to choose from. In the end, 'Kung Fu Dunk' by Jay Chou and Chen Bo Lin won our vote, not because it has a good storyline but because the actors are damn hot! (Well, what can you expect if the viewers are predominantly female?) The movie fit well with our light and joyous mood and a great way to end the day. It sent us girls into a fit of laughter interrupted with adoring ohhs and ahhs every time a close-up of the hotties flashes on the big screen. I guess, it doesn't hurt if we pamper our eyes to a delectable piece every now and then.

All in all, our own celebration was a welcome break from the everyday fast and busy lifestyle. Although we've went to bars, ate at street food stalls and watched a movie dozens of times before but on this day it was different for, to us, it wasn't the activity but the bonding that mattered.

" Chinatown at its best! "
