Yawn Gai Gai: Bubble Tea Factory

 After surviving my tour at The Bubble Tea Factory, I feel obliged to set you guys expectations right and to advise you girls on who to bring on this journey. Given that each ticket cost rought S$20 odd plus (not cheap you know!), it is imperative that the right people are there. I bought the Hubs and *look right and left furgitatvely before I badmouth him*, he is definitely the wrong person for the occassion.

1. Bring a photographer or a friend who is at least good at helping you take selfies. You definitely need somebody who has an eye for angles and take quick shots because it is really quite paiseh to hog the place. Don't go alone! There are staff around to help you take photos, but ahem, not all of them have good photography skills to boast off. 


2. Have patient company! This is the time to unleash the girlfriends. Honestly, I saw some males (my Hubs included) looking so bored dazing into the thin air. And it irks me. If you want good vibes for the day, bring the girls out or at least bring a guy who is interested. 


3. Don't be paiseh! Honestly, I don't know how some of the girls do it. But they can hog the place as though it is their own photo studio. Admittedly, this is how gorgeous photos are born (I peeped at a few camera screens to verify.) Queueing behind them, I swear my eyes glazed by the time it was my turn, oops, I haven quite snapped out so I looked like a lifeless zombie in some of my photos. Yikes, just like that I missed my moment :'(



4. Wear comfy clothes! I was in my lounge pants from Coralist Swimwear, which comes in a set along with a top which I wore to Coney Island (Read the post here!) There is quite a bit of climbing and navigating on the sets, so don't wear a skirt or anything that is revealing. Don't bring too much stuff around too, otherwise you would have to lounge them around every photo spot. 


5. Bring your best camera/ phone that can own the night. The lighting can be qiute dim at some places. If you are using apps to make your photographs look better, be sure to bring a power bank. The last thing you want is to have a phone that you can't use.


6. Don't be too adventurous! Every ticket comes with a free bubbletea drink which you can customised. Hmm...the Hub went for a safer route and it was quite yummy. I broke all rules and might have created a disturbing concoction...yikes!

I wished The Bubble Tea Factory could have marked out the position where the best photo angles can be captured so that some girls wouldn't have the excuse to overstay their welcome at each spot. There were collectible and action cards given but everyone was just too obsessed with themselves to even bother about the other groups around them (FYI, I am sure no other influencer would mention this fun fact to you. If you look up, you would notice that the tubes are painted in specific colours to match the theme and there are labels of BBT on top.)
The Bubble Tea Factory, has been extended till January. For BBT lovers or those who like to experience, I would say go for it. The team did quite detailed touches around the place so don't go all out for the gram. Look around you more and I am sure you will gain a lot more joy in your Bubbletea journey. Hopefully, my tips help. Have fun girls!
