My 'Night-Life'

Location: Bro's Room, Ipoh.

I'm actually sleeping in my bro's room these days... I know I know... Haven't been updating lately. Lazy... slacking.. blah blah...

Anyhoo, in the past week (since the first day of CNY) I can proudly pronounce that I HAVE a nightlife~ I'm not exactly sure how long it'll last, I'm pretty sure I won't be having this much fun after school starts.

As you know, a CAR is a great form of transportation so having a car = having a pair of Olympic running legs, which is fun and convenient enough for me to maneuver around Ipoh's hot spots. AND as you know, Ipoh's a pretty small place and the places where people from far and near gather. To sum it all up, there's only Green Town and Ipoh Garden East where youngsters like us hang around til the wee hours of the morning.

Seeing that I attended an all girls' school during my secondary school days, my parents are naturally conservative about the idea of ME, a girl, going out at 10:30pm... Surprisingly they were really calm about the whole thing about me reaching home at 4am ++. Dad didn't give me the look while mom only asked me to apologize to dad (coz he missed called me about 15 times when my handphone ran out of batt). And this abnormal situation freaked me out.

Although they didn't set any curfew, I tried not to cross the line today by reaching home before 2am. Hey, at least I made an effort ok?

I don't normally go to clubs and stuff... Yesterday was my 3rd time hitting the clubs and for an amateur like me, I find it extremely FUN~ It's not the beers that's important, instead we had so much fun coz the club was crowded but not packed and the songs were kinda... well, let's just say it's not as lame. I went with my primary schoolmates Simon, Tiffany, Wei Kei and Zhao Xuan, my partner in crime during my secondary school days.

Ipoh-nites must be familiar with Rum Jungle. If you don't know where is it, you're either living in the many many monastery in Ipoh for the past 100 years or you're just turning 7 years old this year. I've heard so much about this place and to finally go there with a buncha outgoing friends, I can honestly say it's the best (out of the 3) clubbing experience I've had in the past 19++ years.

About the club, it's good to have a dance floor where people can shake their boootiess. Other than being quite economical (RM 168 for 2 buckets of beer) the majority of party goers were under 35 (that's only my POV). Unlike SG8 (where the once famous disco, Shuttle 8 used to be) Rum's not invaded by those weird looking, drug taking uncles in their 50's, it's (what VJ always say) more Happening.

Well in my opinion, I think it all boils down to what company you went clubbing with (er, weird as it may sound, I'm not exactly used to the word 'clubbing'... I feel like I'm not a regular to use that word yet...). Zhao Xuan to get all crazy with and Simon, our rock. Just don't feel safe without him around.

I do wish to get more exposure. Doing the things that teens do today made me feel like a part of the youth community... Hope that this temporary nightlife of mine can prolong~ (though mom and dad won't be as thrilled about hearing this... hehe...)

Lastly, just wanna wish you guys a really happy CNY~


p.s. Accidentally got Satisfaction and Diary of a Call Girl (where I'm sure that's where the producers of Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl for their 'inspiration'...). Differences are obvious. Apart from filmed+produced in different countries, Satisfaction has more drama while Diary of a Call Girl will appeal more to people who like Gossip Girl. Moonlight's Pretty cool (it reminded me of Interview with the Vampire... My darling Lestat... sorry braddie). Then there's About a Girl, Cane, Life on Mars, Journeyman and Samatha Who.. Check em out if you're bored.
