Re-Luanch...

Of the new Zouk club...well, new after renovations...yes...obviously. Let me have my blonde moments dammit.

Good god, where do I begin... ? Well, instead of the regular 3 + 1 rooms that they've had in the past (Zouk Mainroom, Velvet, Terrace Bar and Loft) they've managed to squeeze in another 2; Aristo and Phuture.

Zouk is still the same ol' same ol' in the sense that they still play the good old music they've always played and the crowd is still the same happy-go-lucky groups out to have fun, it's just smaller. Lots and lots smaller. Ventilation has improved TREMENDOUSLY...you can now light a cigarette and still be able to breathe "fresh" air (i.e. aircon).

Velvet didn't get much of a face lift...all it got was new sheets (new carpeting and the couches were upholstered) and now its got a more "industrial" feel...the disco balls are gone!! I know of a few girlfriends that are gonna be tres disappointed that they won't be able to feel like they're partying at an ABBA party.

Loft has disappeared and is now replaced by Aristo. I didn't manage to get inside...I think it's because i look too much like a scruf (I don't wear dresses when i club..and I hardly ever wear heels...they be killer yo'!) But I'm really curious to know how they managed to turn the dark and dusty Loft into a 'premium' club...well, maybe one day when I feel like a yuppie for the night, I'll give it a go.

One of my biggest disappointments of Zouk...is...that...TERRACE BAR NO LONGER SERVES FOOD!!!!... And yet, its been renamed "Relish @ Terrace Bar". Maybe I'm being assumptive and thinking that they've stopped serving food, when in fact they're probably not ready to serve food just yet...but I really really really really REALLY hope that they go back to serving food.

Phuture is the newest club because its probably the only one that got most of the reno done to it (of course there's Zouk, but thats been there for eons). Its...alright. Fine, fine...i'm being biased...it's a Hip Hop joint which is pretty decent. I can't describe what it's like. It's nice. And i don't mind hanging out there...yea...very very nice.. :D

Finally...the most important renovations to me were the ones for BarSonic. I am a TAGger. I love love love love LOVE TAG. I waited 2 and a half months for TAG to reopen at BarSonic Zouk. And this is where MOST of my "blogging" will be going.... *dhum*dhum*dhhhuuuuummmm*

Lets start with positive vibes..I don't wanna get eaten alive for having honest opinions, because let's face it, we're not allowed to have our OWN opinions are we?

1. I'm really happy that there's still the same good ol' vibe of the regular TAGgers there. It honestly would not have been the same with out the regulars. The people who's faces you recognize, but who's name you never remember (partly due to the massive amounts of Long Islands being glugged down your throat). The indie group, the rock group, the androgonous group...the groupies...the TAG vibe is still going strong.
2. The music. That's a given obviously. I mean "like, duuh"...haha...if they start playing Hip Hop at TAG...i'm moving on to Extreme Indie.
3. The ventilation and sound system. Zouk really managed to improve the whole "I can smoke and breathe at the same time" detail down good. Im still trying to figure out how they managed to do that...im guessing its the higher ceilings and better..aircon?? but DAYUM, the sound systems are fricking A!...Me likey :D

Moving on to the not-so-good things....please don't hate me. I'm giving constructive criticisms.

1. The layout. The DJ Console is too close to the bar making it soooooo difficult to dance in front of the DJs...which was common practice at Loft. And there's this room at the back of BarSonic..which makes it feel like that area is only for VIPs when to be honest, there ARE NO VIPS for TAG...its the one night that everyone there are equal fun loving freaks. And the COUCHES ARE GONE!!! What happens to the vulgur, rowdy kids that enjoy a good bounce?! :(
   
2. No more one-for-one. That...that just upsets me. *EDIT: the one-for-one is back...YAY!!!*

So there it is folks. My OWN personal OPINION of the new Zouk.

Don't get your panties in a bunch :)

Peace, Knees & Bees

Blogging...

You'd really think that it was something that someone would want to do for fun, for amusement, some sort of quick passing phase.

But here I am...doing it because it should be done.
Don't ask me why I'm here...with the possibility that I might end up spilling my deepest thoughts, secr...hahaha, whatever man! This is just for shits and giggles. What happens here in this blog is to just remember what I did the night, week, month before.

Just a few rules.

1. Don't judge me. I do not stumble across your life and disect every little thing that you do to find out what your psyche is like and why you do the crazy things you might do.
2. Don't feel the need to help me. I'm not asking for advice. I'm not trying to give out advice.
3. ....you always need a number three, but for me two is good enough.

Peace, cheese and grease
