because the night

Its been ages since I heard techno or eurodance in a club. The ambience, the music, the lights. Contrary to shijia’s dictum that “it is too dark, the music is too loud and the lights are blinking”, I miss those nights at orchard, MS, boat quay, shenton way etc.

Here is a compendium of the things I so miss (just to make a point of how much I miss clubbing):

1. wannabes promising their girlfriends “they won’t tio tonight”. Trying to fool naïve chicks into believing they have the ability to tio. Cracks me up.

2. big groups of long-haired boys acting all hardcore and me knowing full well if I got up and punched one, the rest would probably sit and stare. Self fulfilment.

3. both gals and guys acting all fly and shit, dressed up to the nines, ciggie lit up, “coke in hand, juice and gin, the same shit we were fucking with since way back then” –NWA
Indulging in the milieu.
It is interesting how I randomly seem to be typing out real hiphop song lyrics lately. Perhaps I’m going old skool.

4. the feeling when the clock strikes midnight. Ordinarily, I’d feel “ok, the day is just about over. Call a few people and hit the sack.” But on clubbing days, the night is only just beginning mate. Making your hours/days stretch.

5. the girls. The high quality ones of course. I NEVER pick up girls in clubs, but its nice to admire from afar. Eye candy baby, come to me.

6. the drinks. Always interesting to sit around over a few jugs of bourbon, beer etc. talk cock (a favourite of those boys with penis envy *ahem*) play ciggie games and stuff. Its most satisfying when you are just a lil high. Believe me. Excess is not encouraged. Strong drink is raging and wine is a mocker, enjoy your youth but don't go overboard.

7. the dance. Ooooo yea. Most of you guys know how much I like dancing to eurodance. Arms-a-flying, feet-a-shuffling, strutting your moves and knowing you are that damn good. Ah well, maybe not, but its nice to think that way. And of course, an inherent part of the dance, the shouting. With more enthusiasm than any school cheer, believe me.

8. the company. Ah this is the paramount thing I miss. Most of y’all reading this blog have been clubbing with me and to those who haven’t, we should go sometime. 31st july mates. Lets paint the town red!
