A friend's blog entry posed the question if anyone reads her blog entries, and that got me wondering the same for mine. But I won't be cadging no one to stick their eyes on this page anyways ..
So I paid my first visit to Wala Wala's last Thursday night and the usual stolid me actually enjoyed the night immensely. Well, I have never stayed at a bar/club/pub for FIVE hours before. I simply adore live music, it just gets me on a musician's high if you know what I mean *sways head* Okay, so the female vocalist Sherrine (I don't know the spelling) did not really play a mean guitar, but hey, a very versatile voice - From Dido, to Cranberries, to Astrud Gilberto, to Turtles, to Soul Asylum, to Evanescence. Sitting there and hearing them play just made me miss my jamming sessions with my band, and got my fingers itchy to touch a guitar. Hmm, I would definitely go back there. That night, I managed to eradicate thoughts on the dreadful upcoming exams, felt liberated having my Hoegaardens and my Martini *licks lower lip*
Oh yes, and that night was the first time I have allowed a male to buy me a drink, usually I just politely decline (I think I do it politely). Three men from the American Navy, very amicable and generous. I lost count as to how many times they offered to buy us drinks and I finally succumbed and relented during the last order. We have this notion that men who buy ladies drinks at bars and all have something up their sleeves, but these guys did not possess such motives. Very gentlemanly, and honestly speaking, I was a tad pleasantly surprised ... Cynical me expected some other kind of behaviour from them. I reckon I would have to do away with my initial ken of men; gradually of course. The naivette within me is not potent enough to be gullible and have a sudden sweet perspective of men at bars.
