MOS no more

So the rumors were true.

According to the news today, Ministry of Sound Singapore, a.k.a MOS, closed down as of yesterday.

The news had been circulating for a while and when it finally happened, it didn't seem such a surprise. I had fun at MOS. I still remember the days when it first opened, when the pioneer batch of staff started furnishing and setting up the place. Every chair, table, glassware, bar mat were put in by us.

So many nights I spent pouring, mixing, throwing, scrubbing, cleaning while the guests were dancing, drinking, socialising away. I made many friends there and learnt many new things, some things that I might never use again in my life, some I might.

Even though the pay was meagre and the hours long, at least MOS helped me pay for part of my living expenses during my uni days. But as whole however, I still feel that my Mdm Wong's days were more fun. We had a stronger camaraderie and understanding.

Even so, I did have my share of laughter and fun at MOS. Like all the places I worked in, I will miss it. All is not lost, since the parent company retained tenure of the space and will be setting up a new club. I hope my friends are not adversely affected.
