0100hours : After having our cocktails at the Karaoke lounge, we headed for the jazz lounge upstairs where I had a glass of Budweiser while Wei Min had yet another glass of cocktail which tasted like cough syrup. The more we drank, the better the two singers on stage looked and the louder we clapped, and the wider were the smiles of the ladies.
