I’m back…
It’s not like I’ve been anywhere or doing anything important lately, but I feel pretty bad about the prolonged holiday from my blog. There’s just nothing much to do in JB (I am still in JB) therefore there’s really nothing much to write about. Anyway I finally finished our blog’s new layout…I got bored of this one, all white and simple, it’s too squeaky clean for me. I just need to tweak it a little bit more and in a few days time we will be bidding good-bye to Blogspot. This probably will be the last post I make here.
Yesterday I went shopping in City Square, JB with Thomas and my sis and to my utmost horror, I stumbled upon a shop called…Elise!!! If it was the name of a boutique or a café or even a pub, I probably wouldn’t have even batted my eyelids, after all there is a certain car called Elise :P. However a huge promotional banner read: Elise-permanent hair removal center! And next to those already atrocious wordings was a picture of a lady showing of her snow white, hairless armpits…Now everyone in JB will think I nick-named myself after a
permanent hair removal center. Just great...
Ohh…and I watched
Minority Report a few days ago. It was really first-class Steven Spielberg stuff, breathtaking effects, nail biting storyline and Tom Cruise looking really buffed. Personally the movie is worth a watch especially if you are into those science fiction flicks. However the Ah Bengs sitting behind us were dreadfully irritatingly noisy. They kept on talking during the movie and kept saying things like WahLau!! Aiyor!! when the movie got interesting. Even worst, there’s one scene where John (Tom Cruise) walks into someone else’s hotel room where there’s plenty of children pictures on the bed, the Ah Bengs where practically screaming, “This fella killed his son!!! This is the killer! This is the killer!” Geez, so irritating!!! So uncivilized!!! Dammit these people should just pop more E, and shake their brains out through their ears.
Speaking about Ah Bengs and ecstasy, I went to Sanctum, a famous “Feng Tau” joint in JB last weekend. Honestly I’ve never been to such a place before it’s a pretty new experience. When I arrived, we were lead to our “room”; there were about another 10 people already they’re mostly chatting and a few singing along to the karaoke machine. The room was brightly lit and the only music was coming from the karaoke machine, such a boring sight or so I thought. Soon more people arrived, it seems some bookie that made a lot of money from these people during the world cup opened four rooms for us (though I hardly knew most of the people). Anyway the waiters brought in jugs of Coke and beer and a while later the “stuff” arrived. Everyone happily popped the heavenly white pill and suddenly the whole room took on a new form.
The lights and the karaoke were turned off and instead techno was blasting through the speakers. The room had it’s own disco lights and the sound system was excellent, the techno too was really incredible. After a while, a bunch of Ah Bengs were dancing around the dark room and people everywhere were shaking their heads. The party got wilder and wilder as more and more people joined in the dancing. We left after about 3 hours, the loud music was bringing on a headache and I was paranoid the police would raid the place. The rest, of course, stayed on into the wee hours of the morning, till the effects of the drug wore off.
I think if I were on the drug the place would be heaven. Even in my ecstasy-less state I had a pretty good time. The only reason we left early was because the music was way-too loud. The room was just like a disco, great lights, great sound, excellent music the only difference is that it’s better. We didn’t need to squeeze with other people, I could sit on the sofa whenever I wanted, I didn’t sweat even a bit and no one was pushing or shoving. It definitely beats even the most “hottest” places in KL. No wonder none of my JB friend like any clubs in KL. In this place people can drink, get high and have fun with their friends minus the crowdedness of most popular night spots elsewhere. Of course some people want to be caught in crowded places, jam-packed with people wriggling everywhere. They want to the noticed, to be cool, to be seen wearing fancy clothes and be with the other “in” people. For such attention-deprived people, Bintang Walk is the place for you. Of course not all people who visit clubs in KL are attention seeking, there’s probably nowhere else to go; most clubs are like this. Sad ain’t it???
Well for me, I am sick of pretending I like the music in KL, I am sick of paying for pricey drinks watered-down with tap water, I am sick of squeezing in pack places, I am sick of people sweating all over me. I think I’ll wait for more places like Sanctum to open minus the ecstasy. For now I’ll stay home. It’s time to hang-up my dancing shoes…
