I just discovered these little programs that run on Adobe Air. It apparently doesn't take too much power to use, so you can just leave them on the "desktop" running. Very nice. I have one for Twitter and another one for digg. :) Now I don't have to go to their respective websites to read stuffs or to update. Yay!
Anyway, moving on, this past weekend was another clubbing experience. We were supposed to go to Luxy with a whole mess of people (friends of friends of friends, etc.). The whole mess of people showed up, but the table did not. Apparently they sent the confirmation text to the wrong number, so we ended up not being able to confirm our want, no need, for a table. Which means, yup, they gave our table away. We were table-less! Which kinda sucked because there was like 20(?) of us and getting a table would've been more worth it than paying cover. Anyway, the PR person said there was another smaller table that they could give us, but that ended up being a no-go because there was a leak or something, so they weren't allowing anyone to sit there. RAWR! As my sister said, it's weird. They mess up but they're not really doing anything to make up for it. I said it's because they probably don't care about us as it was all the tables are booked, and there was somewhat a line of people paying cover to get in. Not missing out on much if we don't get in, I guess.
We were going to just go in anyway since we were all there, but then one of the persons in the group knew people in another club, Hips, where we could definitely get a table big enough (sorta) to fit us all. So we took the cab there and saw that it was "The only Latin club in Taipei," which worried a couple of us since we weren't really in the mood to dance to Latin music. But then we found out that it was all you can drink for 400 nt for girls (300 if you show your bellay!). I figured, eh, the other option is to go back to Luxy and pay 600+ to get in, so, we go! And it ended up being pretty fun. Apparently they only play Latin music on Fridays or something, so the music ended up being all the mainstream hip hop and pop songs.
All you can drink is bad, though. Bad when your self control is so ... diminished already. There were lots of drunk people towards the end of the night, drunk to the point they were throwing up ... all over the place. And people were passed out at their tables. The floors were disgusting. Mmyaaaaah. Now that I think ab it, *grossed out* not too sure if I'd want to go back there.
There were lots of SKETCHY guys there. When we first went in, there was a circle of guys standing around the dance floor with no one on the dance floor. I'm not entirely sure what they were looking at as there was no one on the dance floor, but then a couple of girls from our group started dancing and you could just see them watching and ... yah, I dont want to know what they were thinking. There was also a lot of guy on guy action. Hah! There was a pole in the middle of the dance floor and a group of guys were going crazy on there ... including taking off their shirts o__O Oh my! My eyes! :P And then there was a "dancing" competition for girls, of course, where basically they just wanted to see the girls take of some articles of clothing. Blech. That was dumb. I mean, the prize was 2000nt, was it worth it? Thankfully our friend had the brains to not take off any articles of clothing. However, cannot say the same for the other two girls .... |||O
One exchange I found particularly interesting occurred when we were at the bar waiting for our drinks:
Middle Age-ish white guy: 你很帥 幾歲啊? (You're handsome, how old are you?)
Super young looking asian guy: 我十七歲 (I'm 17)
.......... Ahhhh, talk about sketch!!! Dunno what happened after that as we left the bar. But I was like, wow. Just wow.
Anyway, it was an interesting night that started off not so great. But we did end up having fun. Well, I did. Not too sure if my sister did. Meh. The end!
