Clubbing Weekend

Yes, I finally went clubbing at Metro’s on Saturday night There always has to be a first for everything in life.

Went to Saigon in Northbridge for dinner and some powerful Vietnamese white iced coffee *slurps* Those things are the bomb! And then it was off to Metro’s for a night of dancing and partying away! Ange, Lin and me went off to Metro’s and the babes gave me a ‘tour’ of the place…..”There is the red bar (points to a bar with red lights), and those 2 are the blue bars (points at the bars with blue lights, left and right of the mosh pit). The toilet is up here, and the dance floor is down there with the people dancing and the DJs playing. That is all you need to know”.

And clearly that was all I needed to know. After the little tour, saw John near the blue bar with a bunch of friends. Don’t ask me how I managed to recognise him in the dark and in a strange place, I just have this thing for noticing people And from the ‘balcony’, we saw Ee and her bf Hung, and Maybz waiting in the line outside. Don’t know how I did that

I <3 those babes to death! They were so nice and we ended up dancing, walking to the toilets with hands linked (it's only cause we didn't want to loose each other in the dark) and meeting random people on the dance floor. We were one of the first to dance, and there was this photographer chick from Xpress magazine who took our pictures for the mag, so if anyone sees the mag, please keep it for me! I wanna see it

It was fully packed to the point where the dance floor was so squished you could barely dance after a while. The acts there were quite good, I must say the guys in the jump suits were awesome! Not to mention they also danced to the JT songs AND Bob Sinclar....Hahaha....Great songs and veeeeery cute guys dancing on the stage....Hahaha.

I'll put up pictures of us when I finally get them Ange, who is in Melbourne now. I miss you babes!!! Managed to take a few pictures of myself at dinner So here they are! And the dress I'm wearing is only 10 bucks Though I thought it was a top at first....Hahaha...till Ange made me try it on without bottoms. Lol. Then I realised it was long enough to be a dress, and it says so on the label as well

If you were wondering why my eyes look like that, I’ll have you know its the smoky eye look, done by Ange….Hahaha….Nobody bashed me up so my eyes looked like that. In fact, I quite like my eyes like that thank you very much

Well, now is a good time as any to write a whole “1st Timer’s Guide to Clubbing”, seeing that I went on Saturday and have had a feel of the whole clubbing scene Not that I’m in the clubbing scene a lot.

First of all, I would recommend bringing friends with you that you can trust, just in case things go wrong. If you’re a girl, bring girl friends that have been there before or bring a guy friend you can trust. But then again, bring your girlfriends Holding hands while walking on the dance floor or on the way to the toilet might seem strange, but better safe than sorry. It is dark in there and its loud, so chances of finding you group of friends if you’re lost might be a little slim. Also, designate a driver waaaaaaaaay in advance just so you know who cannot drink that night. Sounds rather basic but then again, would you like to place your life in the hands of a person who has drank enough alcohol to last for weeks? Plus, in case fights break out (they happen pretty often I heard) your friends will be there to huddle with you and stay away till the bouncers break up the fight.

One more thing when clubbing, make sure you dress properly. That’s collared shirts/T-shirts for the guys (the bouncers were strict, they turned away a bunch of guys in the line ahead of us cause they wore T-shirts without collars) and dressy things for the girls Or rather anything appropriate enough to dance in and to climb up and down stairs in. Last thing you need is for a wardrobe malfunction on the dance floor Also, wear COMFORTABLE shoes/heels. OK, I admit, after dancing for 3 hours NO shoes can remain comfortable Just remember that there will be glass on the dance floor from the drinks, so wear shoes that will protect your feet from the glass. My feet have just started to recover from all that dancing

Try to arrive early and snag an awesome parking spot if you’re driving. You’d be VERY thankful that you snagged a spot in front of the club after you finish and your feet are screaming out for relief. Entry is cheaper earlier and you have a lot shorter line for the cloak room Then again, after the whole thing, the line to the cloak room is going to be really long, so might as well leave your coats in the car and wear a pashmina inside and stash it away in a bag while dancing. Works wonders

Things to bring:
1. ID – you’re not getting anywhere without this, so don’t forget this if you have to forget anything
2. Money – again, not gonna get inside if you don’t have moolah. A 50 will do to buy you entry and at least a few drinks
3. Camera if its small enough and you don’t mine carrying it while dancing. Though I think sometimes they check you for cameras during events, so just be mindful of it.
3. Mobile, keys
Girls, don’t worry about carrying your whole makeup kit and kaboodle, its too dark to fix makeup anyway. The most you need is lipbalm and lipgloss. As for bags, don’t carry a massive one, either a clutch or a small shoulder bag is good enough so you can dance with. You don’t really want to be poking someone’s eyes out with a massive bag

As for drinks, I have no clue to what is what but they have the usual stuff you’d find in a tav, plus cocktails and other randoms bits and pieces

Speaking about random bits and pieces, I just got my hair cut yesterday, just a trim nothings drastic. I’m wanting to grow my hair out long but its seriously not behaving itself lately. Went to Just Cuts in the city. I reckon that lady that did my hair (Lynn) isn’t such a good stylist. I prefer my usual stylist, Stef to do my hair cause somehow she does it right. Hurr….Anyway, reason I’m writing about them is that you know how they spray your hair with water before cutting it right? This other girl, Lynn, sprayed so much water on my hair that it ended up being soaking wet and cold. And they’re smart, they charge 6 bucks to blow dry hair. I couldn’t exactly be walking the streets of Perth at 10am with wet hair and freezing my head off now could I??? Grrrr….

Anyways, I’m off to catch up on my beauty sleep now. Toodles!
