Serial Clubber

While movies have their trilogy of sequels, I have my own trilogy of... parties.

Well you see, I attended three major parties, organised by Fabulous Sundays, over this Chinese New Year period. In fact they had four theme parties but I had give one of them a miss, out of exhaustion of energy and money.

On the first day of Chinese New Year, already I was at St James Powerhouse merrying away with a portion of the angbao money I had collected during visiting in the day.

3 days later, I was at St James again. However, this time round instead of Powerhouse, I was at a new outlet called Boiler Room. The special bit about this party is, apart from being held in a new location, it's a 3D party where clubbers are handed 3D glasses to view special 3D visuals that are on display as they dance to the music. I haven't got to mention, that the Boiler Room outlet also has a special dancefloor that rotates.

Now I thought an idea like this is brilliant because not only you get to spin like those candies in the Chinese New Year candy tray at home, allowing you to have a 360 degrees view of the whole clubbing room, it's also a good way of dodging from people you do not wish to see in the club. Now you see me, now you don't.

However, it can be bad if you were to go away for a while and have a hard time later searching or getting back to your friends again on the dancefloor as they seems to be playing merry-go-round with you.

And apparently, some people who were there at the Boiler Room that night were boiling with anger, as they complained about the choice of music played, which is boring to them. Now you'd know clubbers are a bunch of hard-to-satisfy people.

Despite so, there were still others who were boiling with excitement over the 3D visual displays, the rotating dancefloor, as well as stars-spotting (Fiona Xie and Thomas Ong was there).

And there finally came the finale of my party trilogy, which just took place last Saturday - the Chingay post party, City Jam 2008.

A hard-to-come-by opportunity of dancing on the streets without any vehicles and traffic police coming your way. Feels unique and fresh indeed with such an open-spaced thing. Themed the Mardi Gras of the East, perhaps what's missing here is some 881 dancers at the scene with feathers and glitters.
