How Now Feng Tau

Good evening all, well I'm nursing abit of a hangover today after a very jolly evening on the lash with my lady. We started off in Bangsar (near her parents place) in the area that a few years ago was the bar and club centre of KL, full of expats and lots of booze filled activity. Nowadays the bars are all still there, but the polpulous has all moved away to other newer and more spangly bars in KLCC and other areas. We went into a really nice and chilled moroccan soak style affair, with hookah pipes, sheesha tobacco, moody lighting and cushions all over the place. Really nice, you sit on these elevated platforms with tyour shoes off and lay back into the comfy soft furnishings. I presume this style was developed in the morroccan hash and opium dens, so you could get totally mshed and then just cabbage out on the floor with comfy pillows to support you. Here sadly, that just ain't the case so I had to make do with a fe pints of Tiger.
We were treated to a lovely comedy scene in there (it was actually a bit like watching a scetch show on TV) because opposite us were a hilarious group of 15 year old, pre GCSE english kids who study in one of the international schools here - their parents will be rvery rich diplomats etc. They all discovered that this place will serve them booze, no questions asked apparently, and are going through that beauiful phase of getting really drunk on 3 pints in a friendly bar for the first time. They were reet funny. Typical underage drinking, but on a bunch of posh kids, the came over and chatted (well, shoutingly stumbled about) to me for a bit. Bizarrely one of the lads was from Heanor, or he was born there at least - which was just a tad obscure.
They provided us with a vast amount of hilarity for over half an hour.

After that we got in a taxia nd went to my frst ever Feng Tau night, in an amazingly neon psychadelic club in Sri Hartamas (a few iles down the road). Feng Tau means "shake head" in mandarin (or cantonese perhaps, or even hokkien maybe) and the idea of the place is that lots of chinese people take illegal things and then shake their heads on the dancefloor. It was pretty fun to watch. Also other guys dnacing the Melbourne Shuffle (which nobody in melbourne ever does apparently) which is a bit like jogging on the spot with the occasional side step.
The music was hard house, and I think on saturday it gets even harder.
We had a great night watching people and getting rather drunk on expensive booze.
This feng tau club had the most amazing amount of neon lighting, more than I've ever seen before. All the tables were neon, the whole exterior was neon strips.
I didn't take me camera this time, but I'm going to go back and you can all see what a well lit asian club can look like innit.

Tonight my first TV movie is being shown - in about 5 minutes actually. So I'm going to watch it, along with Vans family, and listen to my hilariously bad John Motson impression one more time.

Love to all.
