New Year's Eve

One of the few more "exciting" NYEs i've had so far. usually i spend it at home or some "quiet" (ie. no alcohol and loud music) gathering of frens. usually uneventful. but well, not to say that this one was particularly eventful anyway.

started out mildly enuff. met kitty, cyclist n meng for dinner. the place we aimed for was fully booked, so ate some famous chicken rice at purvis st instead. not bad, and the decor is malaysia-style (ie. unchanged since 1950s). after that, wandered ard to esplanade, settled down with coffee/tea/etc. and played citadel again! and i won again! hahha

girl came by and gave me a very nice new year's day present. thanx girl.

got chased out of the place at the start of the 2nd round... after waiter verified that we finished our drinks and foot the bill. damn. so they left for home and i joined girl and others at insomnia.

so it was kinda "exciting" coz it's not every day i, alone, get to club with 5 girls. besides girl, 2 of them i know but hardly meet except for chance encounters, and 2 of them only intro-ed there and then. but then again, me in a club is already a rarity to begin with.

started out nice enuff. 2 live bands taking turns, with a DJ playing music in betw. had a bottle of carlsberg, (is that y i'm getting itchy now? or it is coz of the gunk the ppl behind were spraying at everyone?) which is another rarity.

so here i am. a specky guy with not-too-funky hair in an orange t-shirt (my brightest leh) not moving much unless it's a 70s disco number (my dad's fault... i grew up listening to those!) or 80s retro number (my childhood mah!); and not making a move anyway unless initiated by one of the girls. i must hv gave quite a geeky impression. hahahah!

well... i guess i'm out of my element in these clubs... maybe coz i hardly go? and i do feel kinda shy ard new ppl. it was an opportunity to meet new ppl and get to know some ppl better, but somehow i just didn't feel much like socialising. and beer doesn't help.

maybe of all the things going on rite now, i dun feel as confident as last time also. heh. in jc i wld chat up girls at the sch bus stop! (well it nv got far though. haha!) hopefully as times change, things change as well.

then when it became 2006, it started going downhill. the band played exactly the same songs the previous band played. and the DJ started playing grease, hawaii-five-o and those mambo songs. if u closed ur eyes u wld hv thot it was zouk on wed. very boring.

so we left the place. and i took a long bus ride home.

ho hum. happie new year.
