Its the first day of 2009... while I was reading my old blog and read about my entry when I was still a newbie in Bangkok..
"Gimiks: Went to The Landmark Plaza's Hunters bar where a filipino band plays and to Santika, a very hip club." - December 13, 2004 post
When i woke up this morning, i got a sms from Rochie saying the Santika was burned down and a lot of people died.. it was the first sms for 2009.. it was a very sad news...
Santika is our very first BKK hang out.. we usually go there on a weekday (ooops good thing we are not working in BKK anymore, might get in trouble for saying this) Our german trainee friends were the ones who introduce this club to us -- Andi B and Valentin.. Every time we have visitors aside from bringing them to the temples and shopping malls, we would see to it that we also take them to this club. Special occassions were also held here - Reysiel's Birthday, Farang Ding Dong's farewell party.. Its a place where we all learned to love Johnny Red and Coke, Tata Young's songs (Sexy Naughty Bitchy), Dragostea Din Tea (Maya hi.. Maya ho..), Kevin Lyttle's Turn me on, Sarah Conner's Love is colorblind and Bounce, the thai song Ab Ngao, Kriss Kross' Jump (which we all think has become thai club's most requested song), The club's bands.. there were 2 bands, one is the rock group with a very hyperactive guitarist and the other group which became part of our BKK life -- (hmm forgot their original name but I know Reysiel would still remember) ALL STAR BAND!
We first got invited to see this place when Valentin and Andi B. asked us if we wanted to go to this hip club that have a band with a singer that looks like Eminem and sings "The loof the loof the loof is on fire"
How ironic... Santika is now gone because of fire that started from its ceiling...
(Thank God, my bkk friends were not in Santika last night...)
