Mambo No. 5

"1, 2... 3, 4, 5..."

Yup just exactly the five of us (four ladies and a ladies' man to be more precise) last night over at Zouk's most famous Mambo Jambo night, which spins retro dance hits every Wednesday.

You would have heard me mentioning before about never stepping foot at Zouk before although it's like a must-visit place for local nightlife, just like Disneyland is to L.A. and Effiel Tower is to Paris. And so I waited for a very long time and finally a chance yesterday with this trip, which officially made me a Zouk-virgin no more.

Well it sure was an eye-opener for me. The place, the crowd, the music, and finally seen for myself those well-known song-synchronized "para-para" moves and the people doing it. I was more amused than hyper throughout the clubbing.

Music with the likes of Bananarama, Rick Astley, Belinda Carlise, and Al Corley were a staple at this themed-night. But there was a certain point in midway where they start playing some rather unexpected and overly-retro slow songs like "Fly Me To The Moon" and "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" that got me puzzled. And better still, a Chinese New Year song was also on the playlist. Like what?

Then again, I was happy because I got to hear my favourite band's song being played. =D

"Mamma mia, here I go again/My, my, how can I resist you..."





P.S. I realised the pictures we took yesterday had a lot of cropped heads, faces, limbs, bodies... =p
