How to enjoy a cheap night out in a cool club in Singapore?

Many people here could love clubbing, but can't do it too often coz of the cost involved. I mean I love to club and I visit clubs very often. Many of the places I go include OO, St. James, Zouk etc.

These places can turn out to be expensive if you visit too frequently. But yea, if you are smart, I'm sure you could adopt the following strategies to make your visit cheap :)

1) You wanna get seriously drunk and have some fun
Place to go: Double O, Entrance is usually 20 Bucks, but even Vodka Redbull costs just SGD 14 bucks here!

2) You wanna listen to great music with a great music system and a good DJ
Place to go: St. James Power Station, PowerHouse.
If you are a girl, go on Wednesdays. Perhaps a little early so that you can go home early as well. Gather as many friends as you can. The club provides 5 free drinks for every chic who gets in on Wednesdays. Guys, you could go on Wednesdays too, just try to bring along some girls with you if you can. If they don't drink you could get them to get you those free drinks!

And yea, if you could make it before 10 PM, you can enter free as well. Plus happy hour rates gives you a jug of housepour for just 14 bucks. Vodka redbull not included though.

Plus, if you wish to really save money, don't take a cab home, use the SMRT Night Rider service. Trust me, its very fast (Since there is almost no traffic) and it covers almost all the places. Esplanade is the point where all NR service bus comes, so you could change bus here if you cant get a direct bus home.

It would just cost you 3$ to get back home!

So on a Wednesday if you are a guy and you go with a girl to St. James powerhouse before 10 PM, you get
1) Free Entry
2) Five Free Drinks
3) A jug for SG$ 14 bucks if you buy before 10 PM

And ride back home for S$ 3!

Why is Singapore a Cool Place?

Singapore in unique in it's very own way. I'm sure many people think that this place can be boring. But I would strongly disagree to that. After all being such a small place it still offers us so much.

It's Clean!
First and formost, its by far the cleanest country I have seen or heard of. No one can deny the fact that we seldom see or feel the rough of thrash and dirt all over the places where you live, work and play. Every patch of land here has been painted green with the grass. It is a good feeling after all right? The amount of effor placed to achieve this is definetly applaudable.

It's Happening!
The night life of Singapore is amazing. For the people who knows where to go can always find the place that suits their mood and nature. The new clubs that open in town is always a hit attraction to many. Sustaining crowds can be seen at many places. Not just nightlife, but even the regular life is cool in a sense. The gyms are buffed with new equipments and great music, the saloons are fabulous in looks and delivery, the restaurants are amazing as well!

It's Mouth Watering!
The food is the best here. You get a blend from all countries and places. Which makes it one of the foremost reason I decided to make this place my home. The news papers write weekly about great places to dine for taste and pleasure. It doesn't need a further statement to believe that you get the best of Asia right here in Singapore.

Ofcourse there is more...
But I will write about them in another post soon :)

Have fun guys!

Membership contracts

Have you ever joined any clubs or fitness centers in Singapore lately?

I would recommend you to read the contractual terms very carefully before joining them.

It is almost certain that there would be some traps in the contract which would make you pay more than what is expected. They may not terminate your membership even after making the request for cancellation. Such cases has been blogged about in Singapore against clubs like California Fitness, True Yoga etc.

A couple of court cases in U.S. which has been won against such clubs (24 Hour Fitness, the parent of California Fitness in Singapore) are cited below:

Search through google about the club you wish to join before making the decision!
