Tinder user here! (Waves frantically)

I admit it, I am a user of Tinder and other dating apps, and I'm not shy about it. I'm a bit conscious only when I open the apps in the MRT, bus, while walking to public transport, pubs, cafes, food courts, and am in any public area in general. Only very few instances, as you can see.

I mean, swiping (mostly) left or right in public doesn't exactly paint a very professional picture of me, especially since I am usually in work attire the whole day. And also I'll feel bad if maybe I swiped left on a person seated beside me. I dun think that has happened yet, although I have been hit by too many bags and stabbed by too many heels for it to somehow feel coincidental.

One thing I have to say about the app, is that guys, please be careful. Especially if you are in the work force and have a few financial commitments. I've come across accounts of kids on tinder. Literally Pri Sch and Sec Sch kids. Jailbait much?

And why do kids that age wear revealing attire with full make-up?! When I was in Sec Sch, I had pimples and centre-parting, and my female classmates looked really good in that Au Naturale state, no cosmetics needed. Granted, there might have been some with shorter skirts than others, but that's pretty much it. 

So parents, keep your kids in check! These apps use Facebook for logging in, and obviously there are sick shits out there preying on impressionable young kids. One MMA ang moh just got jailed for baiting TWO under-aged girls. And I doubt the inmates can take turns standing in the shower hoping he drops his soap. MMA fighter leh... pervy uncles dun stand a chance. But he has 4 years to lose his muscles, so keep at it inmates. I'm rooting for you guys!

But I digress. This post is to reveal what type of Tinder date I am. Generally, I will meet my matches out at public and crowded places for dinner and light drinks. For you ladies, I recommend no drinks, since you should never drink with strangers. I will however, be true to myself and guzzle a few pints of lager. This is to show the ladies my actual habits, and also to calm myself, since I'm not at all a talker until I have alcohol in my system.

So I came across this place at 120A Prinsep Street, called Mikkeller Bar. 

It's a Scandinavian Micro-Brewery with 20 choices of beers on tap. The one in the pic below is their IPA, or Indian Pale Ale, and is a potent beer with 9% alcohol. You can't really taste the alcohol though, so if you can't hold your liquor, I recommend giving it a miss, cos the beer is so smooth you can't help but gulp it down.

the words become just as blurry once you have the 2nd pint

They are actually tenants of a Contemporary Art Gallery, although I got there a little too late and was more interested in drinking anyway. But the gallery is pretty cool looking from the outside, so I delayed my pee trip for a few seconds to take the next shot.

Swee hor! Just tread carefully when tipsy since the ground is mostly gravel and does not go well with your cheek. I didn't trip though, thanks for asking. Assuming you asked, which I know no one did. Pui.

So, there you have it. I bring first dates out to watering holes and bistros since I'm not much of a foodie and I am only familiar with such places. If you think that's fine, hit me up in person since Tinder takes some time and I look like crap in all photos. I promise to be entertaining without being obscene and obnoxiously drunk. Just keep the champagne away from me.

Signing off,
KJ
