mois…

it’s been a stressful week after raya holidays. many mid semester test results coming out and none of it is good news. it has all been depressing news. i mean, it’s not like i didn’t expect it to come out this way. i did. it’s just that reality and fantasy is something different. anyway, i have been pretty random lately. been doing things spontaneously. on the spot. without any plans. well, i did plan this outing. but, it just popped out of nowhere during class. a very boring class. nevertheless, it didn’t go exactly the way i planned it to be, but, the end result is the same nonetheless.

it’s said that the best clubbing scene in penang is on upper penang road. slippery senorita, fame, momo, mois and the likes. it actually reminded me a little of clarke quay in singapore. though, it’s just a really small resemblance. once i walked further in, it proved my judgment. it’s definitely not as happening as in kl or singapore. and i actually liked the clubbing scene in kl more than the one in penang.

mois, is said to be the number one club in penang. people from all over alor setar, sungai petani, taiping, ipoh, and many other places, come to mois to have some fun at night. oh well, i guess, after all, in other states, there aren’t many entertainment outlets such as these. so, mois, we go.

it wasn’t exactly early when i reached mois. about 12am. and it’s not as packed as i thought it would be. initially. the first thing that came into my mind was, damn, the cigarette smoke. it was so bad that if i were to frequent clubs like this, i’d die of second hand smoke in no time. i had to get fresh air every once in a while. the toilet sucked. the music wasn’t as fun as it was in quattro. the djs, enough said. and it is really different how people dress over here and in kl. ok, so maybe i’m still an amateur at clubbing ( i’ll admit that at least, i still don’t get the hang of dancing… ) but, from what i observed, people in penang or at least in mois, are dressed more scantily. i mean, sometimes, sexy is not about showing skin. and showing skin is what people at mois do.

although, i didn’t really liked the music, i do pretty like the stage that they had over there. it was large enough for people like me to dance on without showing my clumsiness. though, the molesting was pretty bad. or should i say pretty standard? it’s not like i met any of these ‘salty-pig-trotters’. i’m not attractive enough, it seems. anyway, my friends were molested on the stage while dancing. which is pretty normal. the usual touching the butt. sort of ‘grinding’ his lower body to a girls’ butt. touching the waist and all. whatever it is, there is no reason to complain since you decided to go to these places knowing the dangers lurking and it is your responsibility. though, it’s not that i am allowing these kind of behavior. these people do suck. it’s just that, i think, it’s best to remain open-minded about these things in order for you to keep yourself out of trouble.

all in all, i had a great time with my friends in mois. albeit, the smell was bad. i was practically reeking of cigarette and alcohol when i got back into the room. the smell was still lingering even after my bath! there is a price to pay with whatever action you do.

love,
