Ellen, My…Er…Bellen
Ellen Allien’s set at Zouk last night was cruelly short, ending just before 4, and before I’d got the chance to storm the DJ console and ask her to marry me.
Her set didn’t feature as much fembot voiceovers as I would have liked but it was still intensely, braincrushingly good for the most part. And when, during a beer break, I finally heard that wondrous disembodied voice proclaim “You…make…me…go MAAAAAAAAGMA!” I shoved my beer into Alec’s hands, raced back to the dancefloor, and went apeshit. I think anyone who drinks beer in Singapore will understand that sacrificing the first five minutes in which beer is actually cold and not nauseatingly warm should be ample proof of my love. O Ellen! How many more warm beers I would have drunk just to explore unknown trrrashsssscapes with you a little longer!
Still, in almost all respects it was a better night out than DJ T and M.A.N.D.Y. had been the previous night, except that I’d like to suggest to the dude in the striped cap that 1) it would be good to find a dance style that doesn’t involve elbowing people in the boobs and not apologizing, 2) your goatee looks like pubic hair, and 3) wearing the SAME CAP to two sweaty smoky club nights in a row is kinda gross.
Since the night ended earlier than we’d expected, we channelled our mutual lust for Ellen into supper at Arab Street. Cheese-coated chillies and almond spice smoothies are great at any time of day but when consumed while reclining on the cushioned floor of Ambrosia at 5.30 a.m., they approach divinity.
cheese coated chillies?
Great. You get to go out till 5:30am. When I come visit you have to leave by midnight. ‘Have to wake up early for church’ apparently. For all I know, you were getting your boobs elbowed somewhere!
Tamara: I know it sounds a bit odd but they’re real nice. Of course, I’m the sort of person who thinks almost anything coated with cheese is nice, except maybe durian.
Benny: It’s not my fault you decided to come visit when I was rostered to read at 7.15 AM Mass the next day! Hey, I prayed for your soul and all. The big guy up there was quite receptive, until I told him you like Serena Maneesh.
