Ad-Hocness

"10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...Happy New Year!"

People always wonder what is the damn significance of a Countdown? I mean it is just change of dates? To me, i think it is much more than a jump in numerical number. It is a time where you get together with your friends and reminiscent what you have accomplished this past year. To learn from your mistakes, to build on what you have achieved. To continue to restructure and improve your life. Recently, i like to review what i have done, this prevents me from making the same mistakes and hasten progress. Of course, i did make new year resolutions, extremely important they are to help me stay focus on my goals.

Nuff of ranting. I was at NYE Mambo @ Expo and i must say my love for mambo hasn't dwindled a least bit. I could predict the next song preceding, i could do the hand actions that others laughed at. The music was good, the standard Mambo stuff. Many said it was boring, somehow i feel this could be attributed to the nature of the venue. Being at Expo, the space in the dance hall is extremeply ample. If there isnt a large crowd to pack it in, it would look sparse. I think this was what happened yesterday at NYE Mambo Party. It looked sparse and everyone was really quite turned off. A the back of my head, something tells me that the people there aint really mambo fans. They just came to the party for mambo had a "name", a "brand" to it. Don't forget clubbers these days are more intuned with the tunes of R'N'B / Hip Hop. Naturally, Mambo, would not have a place in the hearts of these youngsters. If one was more observant, the place was really big, if you transformed that to Zouk, the number of people at Expo would have definitely packed in and filled Zouk main room to the brim. Nonetheless, this i feel is something Zouk has to look into if they intend to organise another NYE Party outside their Jiak Kim Street premises. After yet another mambo party, i am beginning to feel bored, to feel a need for a change. In this new year, i will educate myself to other genres of music. I would particular like to rub my shoulders with House/Trance music. To understand why this is the most creative form of club music. Of course, you won't find me trying to dance to the rhythm of R'N'B / Hip Hop, to me that is pretty commercial.

On an ending note, i would like to wish myself a Bullish 2006 ahead! Closer and closer to my ultimate goal!
