Girls' Nite Out - Confession of a Shopaholic

Good movie and good company but was kind of disappointed with the event turnout. What I meant was we could have done this on our own instead of paying a hefty $50 for the movie.
We met at Oothique in Boat Quay and there we were served a complimentary martini, given a goody bag containing a stick of mentos, a packet of finger biscuits, a small bottle of Fizz, which is nice and a bunch of vouchers and a Expat LIving magazine. Well thats ok, not great but ok. The martini in Ootique ($10), was pretty diluted. Don't taste no gin in it. Shirin had to ask for a top up too.
They have pretty nice stuffs there. Pink wall papers and all, really sweet. But it does get pretty noisy when u have 24 ladies talking at the same time. Kind of like in a food court. Yeah I know we ladies can be noisy but I think what is lacking is some music on the background. Or were we so noisy that we drowned it?
From there we were taken in a bus to Vivo for our movie, only to be told that we were at the wrong cinema!!!!!!!!!!! Organiser had made a mistake and our tickets are for Great World. Luckily for her, she managed to get us all in. HOw can an organiser who had collected $1200 from 24 ladies make such a major mistake. And on a Friday nite! LUckily she managed to secure another 24 seats for us in Vivo and not have us rushed on to Great World and miss a good part of the movie! And even so, it's front row seat.
We did our maths - $10 for martini, $8.50 for movie ticket n no more than $10 for the bottle of fizz, menthol and biscuits..40 seater bus is about $200 for a single trip. We are definitely better off going on our own and do the gold class like we did with Sex & the City.
But having say all, I had a good time and that's because of the company. With all my recent spur of a moment short trips, I have not catch up with the girls for a while. And movie was great. Love her fan dance. But definitely next time we will do it on our own.
Well, there's always the first time.

I was happy just to be able to catch up with Shirn and Rach.. i
So really,ultimately its the company that counts.

Was actually looking forward to dress up for the event but with this injured knee, how to be glam?
