Singapore Slingin' - Part 2

Apparently my last Singapore review ruffled a few feathers with the locals. The clan chief voiced his displeasure with an angry smoke signal and the stomping of hairy feet. I have since appeased the tribes by spilling the blood of a virgin goat, restoring peace to all.

In light of these events, this entry will try to focus on the pros of staying in Singapore with cheery overtones and friendly tourist tips. If all these niceties make you ill, the puke-bag is located in the seat pocket in front of you.

teh 'Clubbing in Singapore' Quiz

You are in the mood for house music. Where do you go?
a) Ministry of Sound - you like queueing for hours, clubbing with 18-40 year olds, and paying $30 entry. Oh, and DJ's that play tracks from 'Dance Now 2000' because they might somehow be retro cool.
b) Attica - everyone knows watching 30-something white guys treat local girls like objects is fun fun.
c) Zouk - does excessive smoke machine usage mean longer or shorter life-spans for lungs? I forget now *cough*
d) McDonalds - yes while you eat cheeseburgers, Maccas has pumping house versions of its advertisements blasting.

MTV-Asia has corrupted your brain, and you decide its all about R&B y'all - which be your crib?
a) Liquid Room - because you came half way around the world to hear a hip hop DJ from New Zealand
b) One - 16 year olds in baseball caps and bandanas are yo' thang
c) Double O - said 16 year olds with $3 drinks is yo' thang
d) Ministry of Sound - because it aint 'bump n grind' without metal cages you can be squashed up against

This quiz is about as short as your options are in Singapore.
Deal with it - I did.

I should mention most clubs in Singapore have Ladies Night on Wednesdays, meaning all drinks for the gals are free. Quite the drawcard. I visited Club Momo on such a night. This place plays RnB, soft dance (think Spice Girls remixes) and has an acoustic room for Philipino cover bands. In case you don't know, there is a great cover band factory in the Philipines. It pumps out your stock 4 piece band with female vocalist (complete with American accent) and exports them to Singapore. I can only assume such a factory exsists, because every second bar here has one. Despite the sad selection of music, the young locals here were surprisingly friendly and made an Aussie feel welcome.
