Mambo Mania
We spent the whole of today vegetating at home, being couch potatoes. Recovering from last night's attempt to squeeze with the crowd at Zouk/mambo. It was seriously CROWDED, I was obviously not in the right frame of mind. The Boy had wanted to go Mambo with his colleagues, to supposedly check out the youth market, for their better understanding and strategising for the segment of youth marketing.
The mass dance-like crowd with synchronised hand movements for each and every song was AMAZING, I couldn't help but stared with my gaping mouth. I couldn't understand how on earth would these kids relate to these 80s songs? Why would they get so elated at listening to these tunes??? I am unabashedly a fan of music from the 80s, but the combination of sweaty bodies doing funny signs with their hands and smoky surroundings proved too much for my old body. Thank goodness I was in good, enjoyable company, which salvaged the experience somewhat.
Never again would I step into Mambo. Don't think I'll want to step into another club again, till the anti-smoking law kicks in. I felt 10 years older, my lungs felt abused. Luckily the media event at Cafe del Mar tomorrow is open-air. =p

hahah... days of being wild :)
Dance is a collective expression for identity as well as the age-old courtship thru physical demostrations of capabilities in moves. So it doesn;t really matter what song they are dancing to but it's a society acceptance if you can follow the tempo and movements.
Must be quite a sight to see all on the dancefloor doing sycho-ed movements... hahaha
Courtship via these chessy moves??!! Please lor, haahahaha!!!!

*haiz* you are right la, we are OLD already... Or rather, have already outgrown that stage of life. :)
Seems like the whole world was at Mambo.
Hearing mambo songs on radio made me burst out into laughter - memories of those mambo days.
Haha, who else was there? Probably cos the next day was a public holiday. Old folks like us won't be able to make it for work the next day if we "cheong" on a working night ok! =p
Haha, my intern who is 10 years younger (*sobs*) told me. :P
Wah lau. -_-
What on earth are you talking about?!! I WASN'T at Mambo..Puhleese...
There's no way you can prove anything.
-jem-
as much as i love indie/alternative music, i realize there's no way i can dance to it coherently in a club. the mambo beats are so so catchy. very fun to dance to. not too sure about those hand movements though. hahahah. but i was once upon a time guilty of that!!
hahaha.... the hb is guilty of doing those hand actions too!!
imp > most of us were guilty of it! hahaha ;)
lingz > it's too catchy!! ;)
You are not old! ~ Mint
Haha, maybe the body doesn't listen anymore!!!
