SINGAPORE: clubbing fun-the discovery of ladies night

Due to the declining population, Singapore has instituted a procreation policy to increase their numbers. One aspect of this policy is the implementation of ladies night, meaning that all the ladies get in free to all clubs on Wednesday nights. At any other time, alcohol is incredibly expensive (we are talking about $6 for the most basic beer at the supermarket), but on Wednesday, there is free flow going on at a lot of the clubs as well.

As a result, Wednesday is the coveted day for going out. This works out pretty well, since Singapore has some spiffy clubs.

Pretty ladies ready for a fun night out!



Nights at Dbl-O! This is usually the place where people begin their nights, because the alcohol is free. Usually known for having more international people than locals, the nights where we went were very representative of that. I don't really like their music though, it's not becuase it isn't the top 40 or whatever, but it's a bit too techno for my liking. I found a picture of their bar online though, we had a lot of good times right there!


Zouk- is actually a complex of several rooms each playing a differnet genre of music. Upon walking in it looks like an ice cave because there's this whole antartic theme they put on it seems. We went during their "mambo night" which was super fun and had a great selection of stuff from the 80s. The reason why it is called mambo night is because there are guys dancing on raised blocks doing all hand motions to the songs, and the crowd is supposed to follow it.

Amy, Jenny, and me. Good times!


Butter Factory- we went here because it for a hall function. It was a great location though, located right next to the river. Hm...i don't really have much to say about this place, but it was fun clubbing with people who lived in my hall. I remember a lot of dancing on the stage. Why is it that everywhere we go we always dance on the stage? The club itself had really weird decorations....like cartoons and masks plastered all over the place, a bit like Chuck-e-cheese. I found it a bit tacky and an attempt to go back to childhood memories? Why would you want to think about being a kid while at a club? Maybe that was what they were going for.
Anyways, the theme was Fight Night...so check out our toughest fight pose! haha just kidding. Jenny seems to have chosen peace over war. Smart girl!




It is so much easier to go clubbing in Singapore because it's like 10 times less sketch than America. Instead of needing guy friends to block off other guys, mostly everyone is really just out to have a good time with their friends. And you taxi all over the place, no need to figure out the driving/parking situation.

The club I liked the most actually is the Ministry of Sound, but I will talk about that in the post about my 21st birthday!
