Downtown global stints

My Salsa - Sistas & Bradda.

After all that late nights, I've got an unhappy throat. Bleahs. But anyway, my Saturday afternoon was really lazy. I just stayed at home, whining on MSN about the dreadful weather. After which i proceeded to my Pole Improvers Course. I'm proud to say that I've master the basic invert already. FINALLY!!! The sense of achievement & triumph made me quite happy for the rest of the evening. After the torturous class which made us climb & pose & swing, (I'm aching all over today, ooh & i found a few bruises too. haha), Norman, Rach & Widah picked me up and we went for dinner at Sofra Turkish Restaurant at Shaw Tower. It was nice & as usual I overate!

Red Lentil Soup with a piece of Turkish bread.
Enjoy it because it was so warm and comforting on a wet Saturday evening.
In the background, you'll see my Turkish Tea (which tastes like Lipton tea)
I like the curved glass and the sugar cube which came with it.

Some vegetarian pide thing which was yummy as well.

Our kebab platter. It was really filling!
MEAT, MEAT & MORE MEAT.
Not my kinda of thing, but it was pleasant enough for me to like it.

One of their traditional deserts which taste like a super THICK & CREAMY chingteng.

A super SWEET rice pudding.
But i managed to ignore the sweetness and loved the taste of it.

Tadah! You see, I'm a self-proclaimed social anthropologist.
This is why I'm here on a stakeout to the infamous Thai Disco at Golden Mile Complex. Haha.
You have to brave the snaking, dark & cramped carpark, the wet & slippery tiled flooring and the bad odours from around dim corners.
Thankfully, we made it.
BUT, the stupid bouncer checked my ID. Haha. I guess i still look young(, when Im not all dressed up.)
Time to fake student concession fares this summer! Heheh.

It was pretty fascinating to see those Thai Singers and performers doing their thing. They are pretty good I must say. But I'm sure the main attractions are the Thai girls who are like the men's social escorts. Most of them are tall, slim and pretty. They can dance and they ooze sex appeal competently. But the men were pretty gross-looking. Middle-aged, unattractive and humsum looking. I wouldnt be able to tolerate dancing, touching, hugging or getting anything near these men who look like they are undressing the girls with their eyes all the time. There was this super hot girl who hopped unto the bar-top counter and danced so alluringly. Shes a natural performer. Well, the general conclusion i got is that, I really cant stand the men who are there. URGH, but other than that, I had fun because in between live performance sets, the DJ spins basically every genre of music. haha. So, i had my RnB & some dum & bass & techno to keep me happy for a bit. But it was a novel experience in a way, since its different from the usual club scene. You can feel the sleaze oozing from every pore of the place but its not to the point where u see undressed people. (You cant dance without having piercing eyes on you. :S) Overall, people (mix of locals and some Thais) are having fun(whatever sort of fun), but its still good clean fun from what Ive observed. Intriguing saturday night spent, but I wouldnt go back there again without older friends.
