Double O @ Mohamed Sultan Road

It has been quite a while since I last went clubbing (most of the time was spent drinking at Thai Disco 2 in Golden Mile Complex. The previous band has fulfilled their contract (Black Fire) & somehow the present band (D2) can't really fill the very larges shoes left behind. Not to mention an excellent group of colleages that you definitely want to spend time with even after working hours. So off to Double O, where they serve some of the cheapest (if not tHE cheapest) drinks in town. SGD$ 12 for housepour jugs & SGD$3 for tequila shots. Extremely affordable for everybody I must say.

Nothing much to sohur about the music there, but when you are high on alcohol, almost everything can get to tapping your feet to the beat or letting your body loose on the dancefloor. The smoking room nearest to the dancefloor is very cramped & there is almost zero ventilation. In contract, the smoking room nearest to the live band area & pool tables is spacious & you can actually feel the air-conditioning. The live band, consistsing a male bass guitaristt, a male guitarist & a female singer whp also plays the tamborine. Drinks here are more expensive. Juggies going for double the rpice (SGD$12) while a frozen peach margarita costs SGD$14. Still affordable to the average blue collar worker like me. I told the gand we should get high on cheap drinks before coming out for some chilling in the live band area.

Seems like we are addicted to this place, something to look forward to at the end of the week. It is a form of closure for some of us, a way for us to sit back, look back at the events of the week, chit chat & find time to bond. Starting a relationshio can be hard work, but it is nothing compared to maintaining it. Social obligations can be a really heavy burden if you burn yourself at both ends of the candle.

Ja neh!!!
