Revisiting Zouk
It was an atypical Wednesday. Having being bogged down with work, i had decided to go off early to join Ter and Chua for cheap happy hours beer at Boat Quay. 3 men sitting at the bar counter... we got bored soon.
We departed for Thumper which is doing a soft reopening launch at Goodwood Park Hotel. A vast difference of the previous Thumper. More of a chill out place now. Boring.
Then we hit upon the idea of revisiting Mambo at Zouk, coz Citibank customers can get in free. (no free drinks but got 1 for 1 offer from 9 to midnight). It was boring all the way till 11.30pm when retro music started rolling from the speakers. Felt like i had spontaneously time travelled to my NS days. Except that I'm older and the rest of the crowd are much younger. Phuture changed from house to hip-hop. Trance music still rules in Velvet.
Now, i have to decide whether i will be an old chiongster doing hand signs in old music (i.e retro) or old chiongster trying to be young in hip-hop music. Neh. Probabaly I'll do both. ha ha ha...
Come to think of it, I don't listen to music much in my day to day life except for car radio when i'm driving about, which is less then 20 minutes in total a day. But strangely, after a few drinks and accompanied with nice music, it feels wonder to sway as one with the rhythm of the music. It is truly one of the few things that i enjoyed besides good women, a good read and a good video game. Where you can truly leave your brain behind and let the spirit take over.
