Zoukout 2006.
This year's zoukout was pretty good. Well actually just ok by my standards. I was really looking forward to Steve Lawler's set, but sigh I came out dissapointed. The only Lawler gig I went to which was good was the first one. Live he just doesn't cut it for me. Much better on record. Ferry corsten was pretty good but music just a little too mainstream for my tastes. He spun your typical MOS annual tracks...total sian. Turned out to be kind of like my version of Mambo. But seriously speaking, I wasn't there this year for the lineup. More importantly I was there to spend time with Brother Avis, and of course Maddie. Probably the only surviving members of the super best friends club. I had super flashbacks of all the great times we spent together, rollerblading, hanging out, clubbing, drinking, etc. Sigh.
Speaking of drinking, here's the stasha-alcohola
Getting to the venue was an absolut bitch. Thanks however to my friend sniper rambo for his kind lift. I had to close both Island Creamery's before heading down, by the time I was on my way to Sentosa it was already 11-ish...Jeeebus! The queue into Sentosa was crazy! I probably spent 30 mins from the entrance of Sentosa sitting in the car till the actual zoukout venue. Thankfully brother Avis saved some drinks for me and fixed us up.
Sambuca still tastes like shit to me.
Captain Maddie and Valerie.
Us at our carpark pre-zoukout drinking area, same spot we used last year as well!
Well anyways we headed to the main arena soon afterward. I don't care so much for RnB so please don't ask me how it went. I was kinda dissapointed by the house/trance arena. I seriously miss Armin. Why the hell did you guys bring him in earlier and not for zoukout. It was hot, it was friggin crowded as well. Like super crowded. I had to keep watch and make sure no funny people were trying to grab our behinds. As well as keeping a tight grip on our nostrils from the killer B-O from the guy dancing next to us.
NO ARMIN, NO DEEP DISH, NO JAMES LAVELLE, NO PAUL VAN DYKE...LOL
Lawler was ok lah, I love his brand of dark house beats. But live, I don't think he felt the crowd very well. All in my humble opinion of course.
Me and Val @main arena.
Ok enough about music, djs and the like. The highlight of the night for me has to be Avis and his lightstick twirling skills. Like a true blue, full moon party raver, Avis borrowed a pair of sticks from some guy there and decided to have a go. There he was twirling away, creating beautiful swirls like a ribbon gymnast at the olympics.
THEN....the lightsticks get tangled! SUPER TANGLED!
We spent about 15-20mins trying to get them untangled while the lightstick owner stood there watching in disbelief and regret. Actually Avis and Maddie did, I just stood there in glee taking pictures with my handphone!
Soon afterward we headed back. I'm seriously getting too old for this. I got a really bad headache halfway through from all the B-O and smoke inhalation. Went back home and got to sleep around 7 in the morning. Only to wake up and head to work again!
I'm still feeling really disillusioned right now. I'm done with my exams, effectively speaking, I am totally done with uni. The next time I head back to campus is for my chance to wear a gown and a square hat, take some pictures, get a paper, and throw the hat high high in the sky. I know I need a job...damn I need a job. Sigh but all I can think about now is how crappy my guitar playing has become since my long practice layoff.
We'll see.
