MUMBO DUMBO

I was at Zouk last night for the Mumbo Jumbo Night, or I would prefer to call it, Mumbo Dumbo night, to celebrate Ms Lactose's birthday.

We were lucky that we knew some contacts in Zouk that we got to go in for free. Or else, who would be crazy enough to fork out RM40 just for one glass of lousy, diluted beer? (Hehe! The Pilot Boy did!). As much as I love the 60s, 70s and 80s songs, I came to realize that these songs were not “danceable”. Try dancing to “Sweet dreams” and you know what I mean. I wonder why they didn’t play “Twist and Shout”? The songs were nice though – flashback, we were transported back to our high school proms (as if we ever have one in Malaysia).

The dancing kings and queens in my group were a bit disappointed with the choice of songs. Nevertheless, being a good sport, they dance to it anyway; and in any way – latin, salsa, ballroom, etc.

Before Zouk, we had dinner at Chandelier. It looked kinda expensive from the outside. They have jockeys to help us park cars for a mere RM5. Despite the quite cozy ambience and warm decoration, the food was an utter let down – I wanted my steak to be well done and there were still some reddish flesh in it – I don’t eat my food raw – other than Japanese food, vegetables and fruits (which I don’t really fancy anyway). The fish and chips – the fish looked like pisang goreng but didn’t taste quite as good, the cod fish was a bit too hard – probably it is not even cod fish at all. The price is not that expensive – just that, we don’t even think we ought to pay so much for such lousy food. All of us vowed never to go there again till probably, when they get a new cook.

The Mix.FM crew

Ah well.. back to Zouk. Knowing that it would be a Mix.FM party, there would be some goodie bags to be given away. We practically shoved ourselves in front to try to get the goodies. Richard is my favorite Mix.FM DJ, despite being irritating at first when I heard him over the radio during college days. Richard in person looks great! I even commented that he looked fitter in person. Being the good natured and humorous Richard, he told me – “Today whole day stomachache leh. I went to toilet dunno how many times liao!” Hahahha! Don’t you just love this big guy? He is very huggable too! Just like Brutus! Big and cuddly! The girls and guys took turns to take pictures with him. This guy takes great pics in his blog.

Sekinchan Boy & Richard

Mumbo Dumbo night eventually paced up right after the goodies giveaway. Geez.. Malaysians? They always start doing things right after an incentive? There were dancers to spice up the night. Amongst us, there was a group of dancers too. And as usual, Ms Lactose, Chris – the lovely Salsa Queen, Mei, Teh, WY, and some other friends, followed the dancers to the beat of Billy Ray Cyrus’ song – Achy Breaky Heart.

Pilot Boy ended up being picked up by a pretty chick, Ms Lactose started dancing out of beat – haha! Too much alcohol is very bad for you… some guys pretending to be drunk, started going around and hugging the girls, WY had to go camping the next morning… me, having to work the day after, had to go home during the peak of the party to get some winks of sleep before another stressful day. Very potong stim having to work on alternate Saturdays. @#$%^&*!
