Of Dancing Shoes and Coming of Age

The "siau" gang in their moment of sobriety! Little Mary and tall Derek, our belly dancers are missing from the pix. Of course moi the camera woman is behind the camera! :)

Peik Lean Y.

Dang! It’s 4.30 am and my eyes are wide open. I got home from a really fun night out in celebration of a friend’s coming of age (we hope, we pray …:p)! I have showered, am clean and am all ready for bed. But my eyes are still wide open. I have decided to let my muse run wild this dawn. I am all prepared with a lovely hot mug of coffee in hand with the beautiful, romantic tunes from Il Divo at the background. In the words of a friend, “such beautiful voices, such beautiful boys!” ;) OK, ok … focus.

I finally found my “dancing shoes” tonight! They have been missing for ages. Even though the music was so-so and the crowd was err … less than desired (meaning tak boleh cuci mata) BUT the company was just RIGHT! It’s amazing how two left feet can be the “perfect pair” when the company is right. And boy (!), did we shake our bon-bon and our bun-bun come to think of it. He he he … It was astounding to find a couple of belly dancers among the group and did they shake it out man! “Go Derek, go! Shake Mary, shake! Woo hoo!” There were all kinds of moves on our side of the dance floor ~ from cha-cha to twist, and rock-and-roll to “dirty dancing” and “belly dancing”. There were also plenty DIY (Do-It-Yourself) moves, jive bunny plus balance, combat and pump moves on the dance floor. Eh … if the description sounds a little risqué, pardon moi! A few of the moves was a little risqué but NOT the “pump” moves la! That’s not what you might think it is! :P It was a real sight to behold ~ good or not I leave it to the crowd to decide. We simply didn’t care and couldn’t care! Reputation be damned! Hahaha …

The highlight of the night was when the live band sang a birthday song to the birthday boy and he suddenly became so shy … or was that coyness? Ahem! Imagine a coy 27 year old man? Uh … Can’t imagine? Dang! A pity I was too enthralled and enthusiastic with finding my “dancing shoes” again that I forgot to take any photos at the disco. At first, our birthday boy was sitting quietly in a corner, with his halo shining brightly. But soon after and with such enthusiastic encouragements from his dear, dear friends (read “carrots” and “threats” here); we finally got him down on the dance floor. But heck, he lost his inhibitions real soon. And there was no stopping him after that.

Hmmm … come to think of it, all these “new experiences” that we introduced him to can be quite harmful and detrimental to our health and sanity. First it was the food, then the bowling and … the last one was the trekking! Hope we won’t live to regret the dancing bit! :p One thing, we need to educate the birthday boy on “moderation”. I doubt that is in his current vocabulary. Any takers to educate a nice, young man …. that can evolve into a little monster with every new experience? Hehehehe … Just kidding!

In any case, a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! And please don’t torture your poor friends today at the gym just because you didn’t get to trek this morning. :P
