The Night is Beautiful
Singapore's night life is voted as world no. 2, just 1 spot behind Italy!! WOW!! It amazes me so much because more often than not, my friends and I have to squeeze our brain juices dry to think of a place to go afterdark!
Nightlife is not only about pubbing or clubbing..... there aren't many food outlets that are open 24 hours, and 7-11 is clearly not a choice. The variety of products they have in 7-11 in taiwan puts us to shame! Well... you really can get anything and everything from a 24-hour convenience store overseas - like in taiwan, 7-11 offers dining (although the food is not superb, but its a place to hangout afterdark with some decent food, and not instant noodles or mash potato!) In Japan, the variety is more stunning (just by looking at the bottled drinks and the instant cup noodles!).
When I was in Korea 2 years back, nightlife was probably more exciting as people can hang out at 24-hour board game cafes, karaoke lounges, pubs, cafes, etc... and I really loved the Eslite Bookstores in Taiwan!!! There's 1 that opens 24hrs and I really loved the selection of books, the imported stationery items and decorative items, and a mini art gallery, a cafe, oh my god! That's so heavenly!! How I wish I can own this kind of bookstore in Singapore! Damn! Come to think of it, my friends and I were so HOT about this idea when we were still in Secondary School. We wanted to convert a shophouse of 3 levels into a concept bookshop. Level 1 would be a mini bakery ran by one of my friends who loved to bake & enjoys a nice cup of coffee, level 2 would be a room filled with CDs and level 3 would be filled with nice books, where the balcony area would be open a good place to read and relax... Sigh... still waiting for that day to materialise... but hopefully, we can have the capacity to go 24-hours to add to this beautiful night life in Singapore!
Hmmm... or is the night in Singapore beautiful because of its security? Then again, there are psychos lurking around the neighbourhoods, and that would not stay true to a certain extent. Wonder why... when a society progresses by leaps and bounds, the morality of a person actually got eaten away... In recent days, we've seen news of rape & murder, murder and dumping away of body parts, and the likes...
It still awes me to think that Singapore's night life is really that interesting! Hmm... maybe I should hang out late more often to realise that this is indeed true and not a hallucination?
