End of Retro Era

Disappointed! Disbelief! Sad! Double o has decided to do away its sat's retro theme. Retro fans like us had no choice but to wave goodbye. I dun understand the reason for changing its theme. Afterall, Dbl O is the only club that play host to retro songs on SAT.

Spent more than 52 sessions with Dbl O, with an investment of a few hundred dollars. Ken, gavin and i were in shock when we saw the new theme. Wild Party? Come on, wat is deemed as Wild Party? Can they be as wild as those in Tanjong Pagar, why gay man literally strip off their shirts and dance barebodied?

Yes, they engaged lots of female pole dancers. However, none of them look appealing at all. The management probably thought getting female dancers to parade round the crowd will draw in more pple. Pls, they made the place sleezy, n defeat the purpose of a dance club.

According to the resident Dj, the music has changed due to request from audience for a mixture of songs. Retro is still being played in the early part of the night, as time passes, Dj will spin Rnb or hip hop. Well, i am not an anti Rnb person, but Dbl O has an "O bar" tat plays the same theme too. Then why the change?

Besides, they have a Rnb theme on thursday. On top of that, Fri and Sat share the same theme, wild party which in fact is a wolf in disguise. I mean they blast Rnb AGAIN! Wat's the point?

Big boys like Club Momo, Minstry of Sound, Chinablack, Paradigm also play the same genre. And Dbl O is now fighting headon with them. I seriously wonder how did the management came up with such a decision. Impractical n more importantly, doesnt make sense at all. However, ken did raise a point, probably Rnb lovers are good spenders. If that is the case, i got nothing to say.

I have spent so many weekends on Dbl o. Miss the fun that i had with so many pple. It is time to reveal some of the pple tat i met. Danced with Rasheed last night, he was next to me. My honour to party with Dbl O king. His sis, Jaden was also there to add on to the fun.

Chicken buttock, the senior patron of Dbl O (was there way before ken and i joined the club) was seen partying on the same platform with us. There was also Cao Cao, a guy who is so tall that i feel so short standing next to him. Will remember his unique actions. Then there was "Hao Jie", some one who resemble a close friend of mine. Together with Ken, Gavin and i, we formed the Dbl O retro party team.

They are part of my memories liao. It is pretty disappointed that things ended so abruptly. I told ken that if the new theme persist, there is no point for us to stay esp when the cover charge is so exp. We may pay an occasional visit to see the old birds. I guess its time to "hui gui zhu guo"! ha...

That means returning to our home town after more than a year. Music Underground. This is the place where i started dancing, the place where i learn to appreciate english songs and the place that enlighten me on night clubs. Or maybe, do away wif clubbing on wkend. The time has probably come....
