[ 14092006 9.42pm rare.inspiration. ]

they say singapore lacks night life. i say, think again.
if the clubbing scene, or the overnight lan available doesnt count, there's always the neighbourhood 7-11 where you can observe the REAL singapore night activities.

the bleary eyed middle aged man in a greyish singlet, probably with a pot belly, stopping by for a can of tiger beer, newspapers tucked under an armpit...
the better dressed, slightly younger man, tousled hair, dashing in for a quick take home snack during halftime...
motorbike "mina's" and "mats", helmet dangling from their forearm, sipping big gulps and eating potato chips from the back of their propped up bikes...
teens having a late night chat, sprawled on the floor / available sitting area outside the shop, armed with still-cooking instant noodles and chopsticks...
guys in caps and skateboards / skates / bicycles, canned drinks and sweets to one side as they jump and clatter around attempting to do stunts...
and of course, the friendly next door prostitute dashing in for a large pack of durex. -cheeky grin- seen before ok!

this, my friends, is the real singapore nightlife, taking place at countless outlets, everynight.
