Friday Nights

There is something about Friday nights. A night which is highly anticipated by many. The air is filled happinesss.Overjoyed working people feeling an end to their tiring week. Groups of teenagers 'just hanging out'. Young people at their most zen.Other than the economic boost and endless buzz, friday nights symbolizes a time to celebrate life. After a week of life-LESS, Friday nights comes about as an exploding reward. Simple, different things can constitute such a reward.Be it enjoying a big Gelati by the park with a group of buddies at a warm night. The warm breeze being contrasted with the cool smooth mango and Roche. If this doesn't get anyone in the 'mood', then the refreshed and happy people surrounding you at the park will.Be it a shopping trip at the retail strip, when shop closes at 9 pm instead of the usual wetblanket 5pm. Getting this, getting that... finally.for those with a much emptier wallet, window shopping is not a bad option either.

Be it dinner at Chinatown, where there is almost a 40% chance of meeting our 'cousins' everywhere (hehe just kidding). Chinatown, with all its lights, buzz and action, seemed to be re-youthed as it came back form an 80 year old man to a18 year old hip, trendy and sophisticated teen. Then there is the pub where simply replaces the lunch time cafes. With pub, there seemed to be a notion of 'I am free now, i am also free later' whilst cafe give the 'I may be free now, but busy later' vibe. Chatting about the Melbourne games with your mates, the upcoming Grand Prix or the Footy seems appropriate. One of the characteristics of friday nights is also the club promoters out to hunt. giving out this brochure and that promotion, you'd wonder why the girls under dress and over made-up but who cares, they're hot.Be it the premier of a new movie. Lines of queues will be seen at the nearest Village. Online booking anyone?

Well, who says Friday nights have to be spent outside? A cosy warm dinner with our lovable ones at home seemed pretty decent.... That is, if it was raining. Friday nights celebrates life and is indeed in a class of its own.
