Meiny and Dania invited me for clubbing tonight. It was a university event @ Docks so young girls guaranteed. Indonesians though. Hmm, I had no idea what kind of quality they were. Oh well, I had to go !

About Glow
What: A once off Indonesian student event. Entrants get glow sticks and party with UV light.
Music: RnB and Minimalist House
Crowd: Young and Indonesian (Indo as they like to be called for short)
Cover charge: Ticketed event. $20 for members of the Indonesian society organising the event. Otherwise it’s $25.

About Docks Hotel:
Located at Darling Harbour, it’s a long stretch with two areas on each end. On one end is a dance area and a carpeted lounge. On the otherside is another loungey area. On a typical clubbing night out there, both ends will play different styles of music. Along the middle are more chairs and a bar, leaving a narrow area to walk through.

What happened:

I crown you Lord James
The line wasn’t that long so it was ok. Once I got in, they gave me these glowsticks. Where am I going to put them? It was then I realized I was wearing my striped elastic hairband. So I put the sticks in my head, and now I had a glow in the dark crown thing. Well it looked more like I had antennae sticking out of my head, looking to pick up any rogue television or alien broadcasts from the air. I think everyone I walked by thought I was some weirdo .. they definitely had a good look at my bright crown as we pass by each other.

Why there are no pictures in this post:
I met Meiny and Dania. We took photos of my lovely crown and of each other. I held onto Dania’s camera. We danced. I took more photos. Gave back the camera. A while later Dania asks for her camera. I gave it to her. No I didn’t she insisted. Yes I did. Well it wasn’t in my pocket anymore. It was gone. Fuck. As I’m writing this post up.. we had negotiated to pay 50/50 for her new camera. Expensive night out!

Meiny tries Absinthe
Asian girl meets Absinthe – we all know how this is going to end. She ran off after the shot and we couldn’t find her. Her SMS to me sums it up:

“Im in toilet.. Fukin spewin”

That’s gold. SMS and spew at the same time? Women are truly masters at multitasking.

The Music:
RNB side: I think they used the same DJ’s as the ones from bamboo, because not after long, the 2nd DJ started repeating the same songs as the 1st one played ! They also had the same MC who usually attends Space and Bamboo.. I don’t know his name. The music was better with the last DJ who played lots of west coast rap. As usual though, the main RNB was the typical shit.

That Akon song ‘I wanna fuck you:’
Meiny has a boyfriend, who isn’t here tonight. I’m dancing with Meiny when this particular song comes up. Oh no. Yes that song. Now really – It was totally awkward because usually you sing along to the songs that are being played. It didnt seem right to sing a song about performing coitus with your mate’s girlfriend. We just stopped dancing. Finally left to the house area after the first few “I wanna fuck you.. ya already know — I wanna fuuuuuckk youuuuu” chants.

My final thought about this song – “Hey dj.. PLEASE Mr DJ… tell me if you can you hear me… turn that fucking music off”

House side:
I’ve escaped to the house side. It’s apparently an Indonesian DJ playing his house. I was hoping for some good commercial house or some thumping beats. But gawd. There was no electro beats.. it was real old school house.. and a bunch of guys were ecstatically dancing to it. Nuts, so I joined in. There was a guy with a fake set of tits running around. It was a good feel.

Otherwise the house music was forgettable.

Fights of the night

1. This was on the way home, we saw a scuffle between two groups of indonesian guys

Guy 1: Don’t fight over a f*cking woman !
Guy 2: I’m not! I’m fighting to defend my friend !

Yeah. Right.

Coda
I’m ending this post early because I’ve got a huge backlog to do. Finished. Went home. I don’t recommend docks unless you like rnb. The both times I’ve been there, there were fights. Crazy.
