0nly You Pub


For the new visitors who are not familiar with my blog, please read the following about H0llyw00d Baby Bar first.

Anyway, the above is a photo of a new pub that recently opened in my area. The name of the place is called "0nly You".

In general, I don't like local pubs as

  1. It is usually too dark.
  2. The music is too loud to allow a decent conversation.
  3. The pool table is damn crappy. There was this other pub where you need to play one side of the table with a half cue coz it is cramped too near to the wall. Or another where you frustrate yourself to death with snooker sized pockets.

which is well, I only hang out at the H0llyw00d Baby Bar coz it is the exact opposite of the above 3 factors. And also being a regular there other than specially discounted price for me, "everybody knows your name".

So why, you ask, am I doing at a new pub?

Well, most of the waitress there are ex-staff of the H0llyw00d Baby bar which means everybody STILL knows your name. The place is less brightly lit but yet not too dark. Music is not too loud and they have a very decent pool table.

Top of it all, it shows EPL matches on the BIG SCREEN. Woots!

Prices are a bit more expensive here where a bottle of Barcardi at H0llyw00d Baby (with unlimited mixers) is RMB 400 whereas 0nly You is charging me RMB 480 (6 cans of complimentary mixers).

Given that it is the first week of opening, they are giving me 1-for-1. So 2 bottles of Barcardi for the same RMB 480 i.e. RMB 240 per bottle. Good deal!

The only downside is the uniform that the girls are forced to wear very horrible looking garb. (See above).

I was temporarily blinded when I first walked in and they were all happily lined up and basking under the UV light.

Oh. My. Eyes.

A check with one of the girls and she too concur that it was damn uncomfortable to be wearing clothes with "so much more material". See picture right for what they are used to wearing especially in the summer.

In any case, I am making a point to return regularly or at the very least until the English Premier League season is over.

Sian XMM Episode XX



So there we were after dinner back at the H0llyw00d Baby Bar for more drinks and chilling.


One of the barmaids showed up with dice and ask us to play. Initially, we were just playing where the loser drinks.


It wasn't long before Cowboy The Cheekopek Caleb started to have other ideas.



CowboyCaleb: Eh. 玩输的人喝酒不够刺激啦. 我们换别的.
* Yes. CowBoy The Cunning Linguist Caleb can speak mandarin quite well nowadays. Dun play play.

Barmaid: 好啊. 那我们玩什么?

CowboyCaleb: 我们玩输的人弹一下牙齿.

Barmaid: 变态!!

CowboyCaleb: 那我们玩输的人捏奶头. 你输了我就捏你奶头.

Barmaid: 不要!!

JayWalk: 听错了啦. 是捏下家的.

Barmaid: 哦. 好的. 可以!

*5-second delay*

Barmaid: OOOI!!! 不可以!!!!!

Dynamic Duo: WAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

Why CowboyCaleb And I No More Brudder

So on the rare occasion, CowboyCaleb decides to grace his appearance in my part of town, I bring him go eat Indian food only to have him order, 1order of roti, 2 orders naans (lucky I canceled his 1 more order of paratha) and get this....

... ONE curry dish and one order of samosa.

Walau... this fella know Indian food one or not???!!! ONE curry dish with 4 orders of bread!!!

This fella siao one!!!

In the end, we had to order two more dishes only to have ourselves stuffed silly.

So we decided to take a walk back to H0llywood Baby Bar coz I left my gym bag behind earlier.

En route we have to walk through a pub street and we came to this particular Japanese bar where there were two girls standing outside to invite guests in.


JayWalk: Eh... check out the two charbors.... the grey one on the left chio leh!! I rike!!

CowboyCaleb: Alamak... WE CANNOT BE BRUDDERS ANYMORE LIAO!!!!

JayWalk: hahahahaha..... we must plurk this.

CowboyCaleb: Yah! Yah!


It's great to hang out again after so long.

Stay tuned to the next entry where CowboyCaleb and I conjured the next Sian xmm Episode. The dynamic duo strikes again!!!

Sian XMM Episode XVI

In a way, CowboyCaleb and I are like nomadic gatherers where we venture out to the unknown to forage for our existence.

Perhaps it is kismet that we are to bump into each other in a strange unfamilar land and naturally, we stick together and look out for each other in the unchartered waters.

So from strangers back home to goot brudders on foreign soil. What are the chances?
Ahh... the many mysteries of the universe alongside the inability to burp, fart and sneeze.....
..... at the same time. 
Anyway, we have this watering hole where I call it our "Second Office", the H0llyw00d Baby Bar.

Can't really call it "Second Home" since we are not allowed to sleep there although CowBoyCaleb has broken that rule already.

If you are familiar with the TV series Cheers, we are the Cliff and Norm of the H0llyw00d Baby Bar.

In accordance to the standard practice of a dog sniffing a new fire hydrant, Sir Edmund Hillary reaching the peak of Mount Everest and Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the moon.

We proudly marked our territory.

Hence, the Malaysia and Singapore flags in the bar, courtesy of CowboyCaleb and yours truly.


To celebrate this historical moment, I shall share with you a new episode of the Sian XMM Series.



H0llyw00d Baby: Eh. Why your Singapore flag is smaller than CowboyCaleb's?


JayWalk: Singapore smaller country so smaller flag lor!


H0llyw00d Baby: Really har?


JayWalk: (Deadpan) Yes. You see your Ch1na flag behind? Very big right?


H0llyw00d Baby: Yes.


JayWalk: Ch1na big country, so big flag lor!


H0llyw00d Baby: Then USA is also small country har?


JayWalk: (Deadpan) Yes. About same size as Singapore.

Yeah... I can be quite bastard at times.

CowBoyCaleb REALLY REALLY Sucked At Pool

It was CowBoyCaleb's last night before he heads back home for the rest of the week when he called me up to go out for drinks.

We decided that we should go to H0llyw00d Baby since
  1. Gecko was closed that day coz Robert (owner/neighbour) was celebrating his son's 8th birthday (Happy Birthday, kiddo!)
  2. H0llyw00d Baby is within walking distance and
  3. There isn't a 3rd option.
Now, H0llyw00d Baby is one of those drinking places where you have bar counters for barflies like us to chill with our drinks, a pool table, a dart board and a foosball table to basically let you unwind at the end of the day. And an added difference is that the place have many young, pretty and nubile waitresses (H0llyw00d Babies) ala Hooter Girls in their tight tanktops, mingling and chatting with the customers except that they are more like Mosquito Bite Girls  then Hooter Girls.

It's probably the perfect place for the lonely expat since the friendly babies love to talk to you. It's an interesting place where AngMohs try to speak Mandar1n to get into the Babies' good books and us two Ch1nese trying to speak English to prevent the Babies eavesdropping on our talking cock session.

Well, that lasted for like what? 15 minutes? That before one of the Babies climbed up the bar counter and nestled herself comfortably on the service counter just below the bar counter top, with cups of dice and started to chat with us. I think she likes CowBoyCaleb (You dawg!)


So out of basic courtesy for the lady, we had no choice but switch to speaking Mandar1n, thereby ending our talking cock session prematurely.  Don't get me wrong, it is not that we loathed speaking to her or that she cannot stop yakking but it's just that sometimes the two of us prefer to just sit back and talk about our own stuff. Let's face it, when she was talking to us, she was trying to entertain us to make us feel comfortable. Likewise when we talked to her, we were also trying to entertain her as a way of reciprocating the hospitality. Only difference was that she gets paid for it and we don't.

I guess it was just one of those nights where we prefer to just sit back and chill on our own terms.
So there we were chatting with one of the Babies and playing dice, when another announced that the availability of the pool table. We grabbed at the chance since
  1. We needed to get off our butts and do a bit of exercise even though it only involves just walking around a pool table and
  2. We can stop talking. Yay!
Ok, so we played a few rounds and chatting among ourselves around the pool table when this little petite Baby came over join us for a game. Her strokes were good but her aiming and placing damn jialat. In a nutshell, she sucked and her height, or rather the lack of, just made it worse. Still, you have to give her lotsa credit for her enthusiasm and passion for the game.

To interject a little, let me explain why we prefer to talk cock in English. The following conversation ensued while I was playing pool with the Petite Baby.

CowBoyCaleb: Eh... this one, her neh neh quite big ah!

JayWalk: Aiyah.. bruff one lah. All push-up bra one lah.

CowBoyCaleb: No. No... this one is real one!

JayWalk: Not possible lah. Here one by one all mosquito bite one lah.

CowBoyCaleb: Really! Wanna bet or not?

JayWalk: Bet? Siao ah? How to find out?

CowBoyCaleb: Pretend walk into her lor!

JayWalk: But it will be your word that my bet will be based on wor.

CowBoyCaleb: Then you walk into her lor!

JayWalk: No use lah. I walk into her also cannot tell if real or push-up one lah.

CowBoyCaleb: Big ah!

So now you know.

Coming back. I passed my cue to CowBoyCaleb to have a go after she kena whitewashed by me and here comes the interesting part of the evening.

There was a wager where the loser had to go buy mangoes (there was a fruit hawker just outside the bar).
Next came the most facepalm game I've ever witnessed. You should see these two lovebirds ding dong ding dong all over the table as if the pool table manufacturer forgot to install pockets for the balls to fall into.
30 minutes later, and they are still struggling to finish ONE FRIGGIN' GAME!

I think maybe CowBoyCaleb purposely one so that he can keep oogling when she bended over to take her shot. I wonder why he always stand at opposite end of the table from her. *scratch head* 

In the end, CowBoyCaleb gave up and bought the bananas.


p.s. I am so dead after this entry.

Mistress Grace: I actually went back to ask the girl. It turned out that the fruit seller ran out of mangoes then and so she picked bananas as an alternative. Quite a healthy bar, I tell you. Eat fruits one.

Starmist: You mean he langah you har? ok ok.... I will ask him if he thinks yours is real one.

Chocolate Gal: Depends on what you take I supposed. If you are thinking of me taking the girl's pics for you to critique if her boobs were real, I think it's damn boliao lor. Starmist: Become like what?

Posh: Have! During the last DeathMatch lor... I tell you this guy is good. He "walked" into you liao, you still dunno....

Grasshopper: I never said cannot play. I just said that her height, or the lack of, made it more difficult. Lai lah. ONZE you at pool!
