To most, nightlife could mean chillin’ out at pub/club till late, supper at some famous places. But to my surprise, it wasn’t the case for some.
It was in the wee morning – 2 plus a.m. I decided to cycle around my neighbourhood and park, after my supper; since the night was rather cooling. Love the cool breeze blowing against me while paddling my not-very-the-good bike.
There were about 10 youths playing soccer at the basketball court, with a small group of people sitting by the side watching.
Further down, 3 guys were rollerblading in the inline hockey court. 2 of them were trying to learn some maneuvers, as it seemed. A middle-aged man was snoring on the bench beside the court. Though it might be cooling to sleep outside, I thought it was kinda poor thing of him.
Near the fitness corner, 2 guys had just finished their run and workout. I thought to myself, ‘Even if it’s that cooling, need not to exercise at such unearthly hour right?’ Amazing chaps.
Of course, there were a few groups of Malays and Chinese, hanging around at various places – chit-chatting and enjoying the beautiful night.
So, if you wish to have something out of the norm, try any of the above. If I had a better bike, I’d definitely ride around – to somewhere, anywhere, with Class95 plugged in. Or, if my friend is available, go for a spin, and yes, with Class95.
Albeit it’s unhealthy to stay up till that late, I’ve a penchant for the tranquility and beauty of the night. Allows you to sorta slow things down, admire the night skies and stars.
Enjoy the sexy young night!

I was sauntering at Far East, earlier yesterday afternoon. It’s been aeons since I last visited that place. My goodness! It’s a paradise for girls! As if like the SG version of BKK. The vast choices of apparels and accessories are mind-blogging! Well, there were a few of mens’ wear stores. But I didn’t scrutinize much.
Ok, this sounds wrong, but I’ve to say the girls there are really attractive and atas. My female friends agreed on that too. And there was this particular girl who was on the train with me. She seemed to exude similar vibes as 1 of my close friends – very (very) sweet and demure looking (to my standards la, of course). Alright, enough.
I’d love to take pictures to better illustrate and enhance my posts, however, my E71 simply CMI. I’m waiting for my lousy-reception-starhub contract to expire by end of this year (yes, loooong way to go), then I could buy an iPhone 4! Yes, I read about the glitches and complaints about it – wrong signal reception, possible yellow tint in retina display, reception reduces when you touch the metal frames which are the antennas. Nonetheless, I’d still give it shot, though initially I hate touch-screen-interface because I need to feel the keypads physically. Maybe it’s just a matter of habits right.
I’m diggin’ Reader’s digest more and more! The stories featured inside are rather interesting, really. Not to mention it also has this ‘Word-Power’ section where you get to learn new words. Haha.
Oh btw, want to thank God for this online drum enthusiat whom I’ve befriended recently. He was very kind enough to lend me one of his snares (Chad Smith signature) and a hand-hammered Sabian HH (hand-hammered) 6″ splash cymbal, for my previous serving. It so happened that one of the songs required a splash cymbal sound, to give that extra touch/hue. Very timely huh. The snare itself isn’t that high-end (in terms of specs and materials) I would say, despite it being signature series. Don’t be deceived to think something’s good just because a celebrity’s name got stuck to it. The splash is good - hand-hammered (probably anything hand-made is usually more ex and better?! haha), if i’m not wrong, darker but rich tone?! Which I like pretty much.
Well, the snare was simply mic-ed up only, since Rhey, the filippino sound guy, wasn’t around to EQ it. It sounded slightly better than the home snare, not a fantastic kind of sound. A safe one rather. I’m hoping to get my hands on a maple snare and other sizes of cymbals. It felt great to have this ‘very humble beginning of experimenting around’. More to come, I hope. =)
Ok it’s 5! And I still don’t feel a tinge of exhaustion. Shouldn’t have ordered Teh-Ah-Lia earlier. I shall do some reading through which, I hope would doze me off…
