Nightlife and Entertainment
When we talk about Nightlife and Entertainment, our mind revolves on Clubs, Discos, Cinemas, Karaoke Lounges, Bars, and Pubs etc. For e.g. Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia is often regarded as the ‘city that never sleeps’. This is because of its active and vibrant nightlife. The numerous nightclubs, bars and pubs are a pointer to the colorful nightlife in Kuala Lumpur. The city of Kuala Lumpur is filled with a large number of nightclubs, bars and pubs, which comes to life as the sun sets in the evening. People of all age groups, ranging from the youth to the middle aged, everybody throng these places to have fun and get entertained. As KL comes alive in a blaze of multi-colored lights when the night falls, there is always something to keep you entertained with the profusion of lively karaoke lounges, pubs with live bands and jazz, discos, cinemas and Cineplex’s showing contemporary English, Malay, Chinese, Hindi and Indonesian movies, theatres, night clubs, cabarets, bowling alleys etc. Local theatre groups regularly figures out the Asian and Western dramas, dance dramas and the bangsawan (traditional Malay opera).
At dusk, Malaysia reveals a new facet. Hotel lounges and clubs, frequently found within the larger hotels, are active at night. Although somewhat expensive, these clubs usually have entertainment on a nightly basis, excluding Sunday. Performances and styles range from jazz to piano acts and popular music.
Locating pubs and bars may require some effort as these are usually situated in the suburbs where live-music is often played. Pubs close around 11pm, however, so late-night action seekers must look elsewhere. Discos begin to warm up just as the pubs start closing their doors and often stay open until 2am. Some have live bands and light shows but often require cover charges or drink minimums. Nightclubs and cabarets, or “kelab malam” as the locals call them, offer fifties-style atmosphere, often with variety acts, floor shows and bands. To name a few of the places of KL, Jalan Bukit Bintang meaning Starhill Road, Jalan Imbi, Jalan Ampang, Bangsar are the great places for nightlife options.
How do you relate Nightlife and Entertainment in your life? Does this really affect in your life? Or is it just the waste of time and money?

It depends on who u r and why r u living in kl or somewhere else by these fascilities, by my idea these kind of leisures could be just wasting time and also money,listening to music drinking and dancing is good for life but it depends who u r,if we suppose to do it more than once or twice in 6 months, its better to forget our ambitions in our future!!!
