Gallivanting @ The Curve & Hartamas
SharePosted on 31. Jul, 2006 by Gallivanter in Gallivantings
2 nights in a row – I’ve done a “groundhog day”. I went to the Curve last Friday and then stubbed out the night in Hartamas, intoxicated. Curve’s street doodah is effing overrated. It has a pleasant setting, but is pandered for the wrong crowd. The nighlife there is crumby. Why then did I go 2 days in a row you ask? Well, the first day was to buy movie tickets to Pirates 2 for Saturday.I have never thoroughly gallivanted Curve, and that I did on Friday. We vagabonded the area for a decent meal, and somehow wound up on the 1st floor in some cheesy Italian joint called 1920. Apart from Pizza, there’s absolutely NOTHING that I love from Italy.
Downed a jug of beer in Slippery Senoritas before ditching the gimpy Curve to head off to Hartamas. We went to the familiar Olde Tavern for my best-loved beer (if you call it beer), KILKENNY. After a pint of that, and listening to some 3rd rate band, we gadded to Karma’s where Jack Daniel’s kept us company for the rest of the night. I know the DJ very well, we go back 15 years. I was very active in the church back then, and was an avid caroler for 5 straight years. I played the guitar and dallied the bongo too. Those churchgoing days are behind me now. I’ve been to church 10 times in the last 10 years – only during X’mas eve. I see no other cause for attending mass, perhaps when I turn 50 years old, and afraid of dying, I’ll go to church to repent like the rest of the old folks. LOL! IF I do remain in my religion that is… 
Karma was jammed, men-women ratio was 2 to 1. Good hip hop music but it veered away to some moronic reggaethon tunes and also the much scornfully bastardized bhangra version of Dre’s classic, Next Episode. And, the women, mostly Indians, were poseurs. They thought they were all that, and that kept me amused. We then drifted to Bojangles for beer. Nothing to promulgate about that joint, except that the DJ usually spins most of my requests. He was probably short on ideas. LOL!

ya ya ya i know the Italian part is for me to read! I know that!!!!! But I still love Italia no matter how much u despise them. lol
hey I was in the Curve too…well, is everybody’s hang out place, isn’t?
I do agree with Keropok, i need to go to http://www.onelook.com to check for definitions. lol. who ask us not pay attention in class, and just read doraemon during free time? nO wonder la.
LOL
Btw, I like Pirates 2 as well. I just love every Johnny Depp’s movie except Finding Neverland. My intellectual level is not as high as ppl who read dictionary. kakakaka
Pls be careful of watching movie in Cathay The Curve, I have received an email saying apparently there are a lot of rob cases happening around. The complaint folder is rather thick in less than a month time. Just watch out
My best advice to you…

keropok We didn’t really had much of a choice with the watering hole venue. We there only there for approx 1 hour before absconding to Hartamas.
meekiee Was it that obvious? LOL. Apart from the cineplex, I don’t see any reason why someone of sound mind would patronize the Curve.
Johnny Depp was flawless. Once again, we have different taste, cause I disfavor Johnny Depp, apart from EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and PIRATES.

Pirates 2 was nice but too long. Captain Sparrow was awesome hehe. But I kinda like one of the extras. The guy with a shell for a head. his head got cut off by a coconut so his headless body was wandering aimlessly. And the head was like, “Follow my voice! Follow my voice!” Hahahahhaa, I thought that was hilarious.

endroo g Yes, she was my classmate in college for 4+ years…
sha Yes, that bit was funny. And so are these:
Norrington: [to Jack] My God, you were actually telling the truth.
Jack Sparrow: I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised.
Elizabeth Swann: Why doesn’t your compass work?
Jack Sparrow: …My compass works just fine.
Jack Sparrow: My incredibly intuitive sense of the female mind tells me that you are troubled.
Jack Sparrow: [to Elizabeth] You know, these clothes do not flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin.

keropok cheers, it was a good read. Yes, I have my divvy of ghost stories but I don’t think I have it in me to keep the audience compelled. Shall stick to my cocksure bubbling for now.

You must be below 42, coz if you’re not, you would NOT be able to pub crawl like that. Drink all night yes, but in a restaurant or someone’s home.
