Dance Dance Dance... ...


Last weekend was an activity filled one for me. First up on the 10th, there was Zouk Out, where thousands of half naked chiongster gathered together, half dazed and crazed from worshiping their god, alcohol. They met up at the island, sentosa, where suspect quite a few " tuo diao tuo diao" and rubbed shoulders, hands, legs, face, chests and other areas that cannot be imagined or mentioned in this blog....lol. I guess that from the amount of alcohol ingested, puking was the order of the day, giving our economy a shot in the arm as more aunties and uncles had to beemployed to clean up the mess that was left behind... ...

Anyways, i was not far from the island myself. There, a gathering of sorts was also in order. There, there were also half crazed people. However, they were high not from alcohol but the love of salsaing!!! It was the 4th (or was it 5th) annual JJSalsaRengue party held at the Far East Square Pavilion. There, people had lotsa drinks ... ... of ice lemon tea, iced green tea, ice peach tea... ... and they also enjoyed something the people on the island did not... ... FREE FLOW OF FOOD!!! Well it isn't such a big deal until you remember that the party was from 8pm till 2am.

Spot the belly dancers

Ah... there they are...

It was a blur of activity at the party. First up, there were the belly dancers to get us all in the mood. Boy could they move. They were so flexible that maybe they had a few ribs removed... i mean how else could their body movement be sooooo smooth...lol.... I suspect that clarence, famous for his disgustingly smooth body movements must have secretly signed up for belly dancing and practiced it at union square when i went for my toilet breaks.....hahahaha

After that opening act, it was salsa all the way. I started asking ladies, people i knew and strangers too, for dances. Someone also actually approached me for a dance too... wahahahahahaha. Once i started, i didn't really stop till about 1.45am save for the occasional toilet break, food break, bachata or merengue song and the periodic reuda and announcements from jackson. I think, i put the freakin DURACELL bunny and its ever annoying toy drum to shame. Salsaing is so much cooler then beating a stupid toy drum don't you think. Who needs duracell or even energiser man...hahahahah

Half crazed, half dazed

I guess many people would have noticed me that night for the fact that im very big (literally) and that i was wearing an orange ah beng shirt...lol... Well the theme was wildy colourful wad....hahaha. Jwo said i looked like a dead fish on the dance floor ( just had to type it out cos i seriously find that description funny...lol). Darius said i improved a lot. As for me i think i just looked like a Freakin cave troll in orange stomping around on the dance floor....hahahah

Black seems to be the colour of the day

Finally, striking pink... lol

I would like to thank all the people that i danced with (including clarence). People like Julianae, Cynthia, Camelia, Elieen, Maureen, Alicia, Shirine, Meilan, June, Shervonne, Rachel, Melody, Christine, Tracy, Jean and many many more nice people. Thanks for making that night such an enjoyable night :) ( P.S. i very sorry for elbowing 2 of you ladies... ... Mi bad....) I would also like to thank June and Jackson for organising such a wonerful party for us all.

Thank you all so much... ... Salsa on!!!

The next day when all the chiongster were nursing their wonderful hangovers and salsareos were sleeping in, i was off to Malaysia Truly Asia with my camp mates. We met at kranji MRT and took bus 170 to woodlands check point and crossed over to JB.

There, we had lunch and went to holiday plaza to shop. It was full of pirated games and dvds. I could just imagine the vendors wearing eye patches with cutlasses and parrots on their shoulders...lol.. Anyways, we split up, 2 couples and a group of three guys, and went to explore the lyabrinth of sleazy shops.

I wanted to buy clothes but i realised that the fashion that was sold was mostly for ah bengs and since the size of the average msian wasn't big, there was any clothes in my size... oh wells... In the end, sum, eric and i ended up at McDonalds. The Ladies on the other hand, were having a whale of a time, spending more than an hour at watsons alone...

Next up, we went for our dinner. It was the highlight of the trip for me at least. We went to this place full of seafood stalls and we ordered seafood!!! We had steamed fish, chilli crabs, butter clay fish, fried baby squid, tofu, shellfish, you tiao and fried mantou... ... Yum yum... My favourite was the clayfish. It's a cheaper kind of lobster but more expensive version of prawns....wahahahaha. The total bill came up to about RM217 which means each of us had to pay RM31 and translates to about SG$15 per person. Value for money indeed...hahahaha.

The backdrop for the feast

First the meditaion

Then the euphoria

Final sane moment

RM217 INSANITY!!!!

After dinner, we decided to further pamper ourselves by going for massages. We had 5 in 1 packages consisting of foot reflexology, shoulder,neck, hands and back massage. Jasmine had a full 60mins of foot reflexology while eric had a 30 mins shoulder, neck, hands and back massage.

~Put yer feet in the water then you soak them both together~

Pain? what pain?

I thought that i was going to be painful at first, especially the foot reflexology but it turned out to be very comfortable to say the least. The guy that massaged my foot said my feet are so thick and fleshy want to inflict pain also hard wad.... lol... what do you expect from a cave troll? lol. It was truly a refreshing experience. It really soothed out all the aches and pains...hahaha

The best part is... ... for that 60 mins pacakage, it cost each of us only RM45 man!!! !!! Do the maths....hahahahaha.

Ghostly sightings... ...

After that, we took cabs back to the checkpoint and walked back to singapore. It was indeed a day well spent. Wish you were there steve.....hahahahaha( Aint i evil)
