A few days ago, we had our Sep monthly gathering;  the event was so much fun.  And all of a sudden, I thought of having a nightout at a nightclub and cabaret.  Would it be nice if we are all part of this theme?  Some of us may have bad experiences; but I hope you will look at what I am going to write next in good light and good old memories; and not think that I am some bad hat.<\/p>\n

Some of us have frequented nightclubs in our good young days.  For men, it could be a good night out with some young hostesses.  For  businessmen and businesswomen, a night out at the cabaret can bring in that difficult deal.  And, for some men, downing a bottle of martell helped drown sorrows and sad memories.<\/p>\n

Imagine yourself one night, during the late 70’s, on the 9th floor of Majestic nightclub and cabaret in Taipei.  You had your car valet-parked by an attendant, and then you are up the lift with 3 other men.  Very quickly, the door hostess addressed you as Ta Ker, and lead you to a round sofa.  After you ordered your drinks, the mamasan came along, introduced a few ladies to you and your associates.  Within a few minutes, everybody settled down.<\/p>\n

Not very far in front of our table was a stage, with blinking lights.  Mei Hua, top singer at Majestic nightclub was singing http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MCPYNcijVkE<\/font><\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>. <\/font><\/a>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  In the nightness, on the dance floor, was a group of men and women holding one another, around the waist and neck.  After the second song, the numbers changed, and my partner just walked away, and I went back to my table.<\/font><\/p>\n

The mamasan kept introducing us to other ladies; we kept drinking and dancing throughout the night, listening to nostalgic songs.  Sometimes, we drank too much, and the bouncers would help us to our car, but not without paying the bill and tips.  It was always a night to remember.<\/font><\/p>\n

Again, I must warn that this is a bad habit of mine.  I like to dream and when we have enough people to share the dream, we make that dream happen.  You can take one of the roles, as mamasan, dance hostesses, businessman, lady guest, door hostesses, singer or drinks pourer.  You can also be nightclub owner.  And, for the men and ladies who have never been to a nightclub cabaret, you can come as guest, make sure you are escorted.  Share with us your experience too.<\/font><\/p>\n

Take this as a fun nostagic evening, among friends, a chance to show how naughty we were during our younger days.  An opportunity to show how seductive and sexy we can be, an opportunity to sing love and hate Chinese songs from the 70’s, a chance to be a bitchy mamasan, and for some men, to show off how big the wallets are and how big the tummies can get.  We can adjourned to the nearby teochew muay stall after midnight.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I would appreciate no one makes fun, insult or upset fellow male or female SHCian.  The bouncers will have a say, if you can enter.  This event is strictly for registered SilverHairsClub members.<\/font><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
