Its the first time i've woken up this late (2pm) in a very long time. Yes, yes, im a wussy, but i cant help waking up when the sun starts shining.
Last night was the Very Last Clubbing Stint Of Childhood(yes, its even in caps!) at the bad-memoried chinablack. It turned out surprisingly well however, gives all us clubbing-jaded people a little light at the end of the tunnel. Yup, i did have fun, and in a good way too.
Well yeah granted there're lotsa ways why clubbing is bad:
1. You could get drunk.
2. You could get drunk and wasted (which is even worse)
3. You could get drunk and wasted and a terrible hangover (which is the mother of all shitty feelings.)
4. You could lose your handphone.
5. You could start a scandal by rubbing up on some unsuspecting girl.
6. You could start a fight with her pissed-off boyfriend.
7. You could get arrested.
8. You could get killed (gasp!)
(note: in case you're wondering, only the first 4 has ever happened to me, and that was a month ago at zouk. I swear I never want to get drunk again. Such an embarrassment.)
But wait! That glass of vodka-sprite isnt half empty, its half full! Clubbing does have its good clean fun as well, shown by last night:
1. The DJ could be exceptionally good, with a fantastic mix of r&b, hip-hop and (very) little techno, as well as a killer turntable skills. Would have been better if he didnt keep shouting "ACJC!!".
2. There's always something nice about meeting new people. Debbie's RJ gang turned out to be great company, one of which is, in my opinion, singapore's best male butt-shaker. Yes im talking about YOU. Haha!
3. Meeting lots of old secondary school friends (some friendly, some bastardly) brings up some of that old chummy feeling as well.
4. Chinablack bartenders sure know how to party. Aside from whooping and wildly waving hands at the bar, was interesting to see how they sprayed girls to the point of almost-chowkenging, how they poured orange juice over bartop girls, and how they prohibited guys from bartop dancing and promptly jumped up and started dancing themselves. Lucky bastards..
5. You dont HAVE to do everything with the same bunch of friends every time. Sometimes their absence helps you to break away from the norms and actuallt have fun.
Couse, it wasnt perfect: the overcrowded venue made dancing a little more than bouncing on the spot, nodding your head and trying to avoid the jostling of other ass-shaking, overenthusiastic guys. But the fact that i had fun in the midst of that shows how good the party was.
Well, so much for the Last Party Of Childhood, signifying the entry into the boring world of adults, with their chillout bars and snotty restaurants. Unless, of course, there's another one going on before NS, then this would be the Last Party Of The Year. (OK fine so i wouldnt mind going for another, but not for a long while)
My point is this, dear reader, that you CAN have good clean fun even in the midst of Sex, Alcohol and R&B, as long as you know how to. So let's raise our glasses to great clubbing!
