A clubbing experience

Last night was my first ever Poptart, but it was the last one to be held at the current Zouk. Speaking of which, Zouk is the only club I've ever been to (thrice, might I add) and this has left me with some curiosity as to what the other clubs are like, e.g. Kyo, Bang Bang, Attica, etc. Perhaps I shall venture through more events to find out. Not alone though, never by myself.

My accomplice for the night was none other than my fellow Kendo girl Simin, who was as excited as I. She brought some Hoegaaden Rose and vodka, which we had before hopping into a cab for Jiak Kim Street. Unfortunately, we arrived later than we'd expected because the 7-11 we wanted to get mixers from was momentarily locked (the only storekeeper was on restroom break). After one and a half hours of queuing in the guest list line, we were informed that guest list entries had been cut off. For the next five minutes or so, we were queuing to buy tickets and our moods gone half-sour... until I spotted my friend working as the entry bouncer! Thanks to his offer, we managed to get in the club right away and begin the night proper. The rest was history.

Since this was my first real clubbing experience outside of university events, there were several things which I learned:
1. Be early to popular events.
2. It really pays to maintain contacts.
3. If you look a guy in the eye and tell him 'no, go away', he will go away. Phew.
4. Things can get really heated on the dance floor.
5. (This one I'm suspecting, but without concrete evidence.) If you are enjoying yourself like nobody's business, you appear more attractive and will hence draw more attention.
6. I have no idea how to react when a guy gives me his hands and offers to dance together. Isn't it easier to dance to your own tempo?
7. Maybe those guys aren't there for the music.
8. Some girls are okay with being held by strangers, and there's nothing wrong with that.
9. It is harder to hail a cab at 4-5am on Sunday morning because taxi drivers change their shift at that time and they usually only do jobs which are near their house.
10. Man, all the fun I've been missing out on so far.
