To the world of clubbing I go...

Clubbing and going to a nightclub has always been one of those things where I theoritically know what it is, but never actually done it. I've always been curious to see what its like, so I went on Friday night with Thian Hui, Wendy and Carmen.

After meeting up at Melbourne Central, we headed over to Billboard. The first thing I realised was that I had walked past it a million times (its on Russell St) but had never really realised its a night club. Anyway, we went in, and as you head down the stairs, you're greeted by the music - which was R & B with a throbbing beat. We sat down, but it was difficult to talk, as the music was very loud. Wendy and Carmen got up to dance, while Thian Hui and I sat and checked out the other people that were there. To sum up: a lot of sleazy guys trying to pick up (with varying degrees of success - one guy tried a robot type strategy that didn't work too well, I think) and scantily clad girls. I felt overdressed, and should've warn a mini skirt and a very low cut top to fit in a bit better. There was one very funny guy, who looked like he was doing weird fishing movements as he was dancing. Or it could've been the fact that the style of his jeans did not suit him at all. After a while, Thian Hui and I joined Carmen and Wendy on the dancefloor. It was there I realised why people go clubbing...you get this surreal, amazing feeling that all that exists is the music that's flowing through you and that you're sharing this experience with your friends.

At about 1:30am we left, and went to Cookie (which is also one of those places that I've walked past a million times but never went in) to talk before heading home.

So what do I think about clubbing? I've realised that R & B is not my music of choice. I should probably drink before going clubbing so I'm more relaxed, and that there are some really sleazy guys out there. And that I prefer a bar :)
