Friday nights...what a joy


Ahhh...the bliss of Friday nights! There is always an electrifying excitement in the air on Fri-days. Or is it just me?

I caught the Friday night out culture when I was studying in Australia. They seem to make it a point to literally let down their hair, loosen their one week tensed shoulder and party the night away. There was once when I was shopping at Chapel Street and the sales girl asked where will I be partying tonight. Naturally, it was a Friday. And I was caught off-guard because I did not have plans to go out! From then onwards, I made it a point to make plans on Friday nights. It does not matter that I was just hanging out with friends in mamak, or in Savanh or a movie. I feel complete the minute I have a Friday night plan out. Otherwise, I fidget. *I miss Australia so much at the point in time*

However, being a smart ass that I am (pun intended), I decided to re-sit for my professional exam. I asked a friend once: Why are we torturing ourselves like this?

She reaffirmed my point that we are nothing more than a herd of cows stuck in the mass indoctrination of "society conformity". She said: Trying to prove that we are marginally smarter than the rest of the crowd. * Big fat laugh*.....

I lamented to my colleague that I can't seem to concentrate on my studies. Friday, Saturday and sometimes (alright, most times lar) Sunday nights I go out. Therein lies the problem, according to him.

He has a point! I need to study! I need to cut down on socializing....But, it is so much fun especially on Friday nights because everyone is in the mood to talk and laugh. Kinda make my whole hectic week worth while.

So, looks like i really need to cut down on my Friday nights and concentrate on my studies. But after Jun 05, I vow to party every other Friday night!

Friday for this week is gone. Had a good laugh. Made it all worth while.
