Within
hours I’ve arrived in my guesthouse, Wo Jia , I got invited to the club from a
bunch of English medical students doing an “elective” (placement) in Kuching. We
hop into the car, drove by the guesthouse owner, Wi Ming to this club, The
King’s Arm. That’s where I got to know more about Andrew, Camila and Imogen. Somehow
the chemistry or my shamelessness of a lonely traveler got an invite to the
Bako National park with 3 of them which make sense as the hostel they booked
comes with 4 beds, besides saving cost, the alliance of the fantastic maybe not
fantastic but Fabulous four sure sounds
like a blast!
When we step in, the music drums our ear which
we can hardly hear each other, there is a DJ, most probably from Africa,
judging from his accent, plays top 40 remix which is up to my alley. More diva
please I hope. Thank goodness, after getting our drinks, they switch to live
band performing top 20 hits, which make the room sound comprehendible. Sheryl Crow, if it makes you happy was a stand
out for me.
Since this
night is where the medical students got their result, and perhaps they have
been confined in Kuching for a while, they really let loose in the club! I
seriously can’t believe for a moment, they are the doctors whom are going to
save life in future. Well, I guess, doctors are still human with pleasure
sensation. We danced and harassed the DJ
or at least Camila did, making sure the music is up for our enjoyment.
Half way
through the night, one of the girl got really drunk and the lady boys which I
fail to notice in the “straight” pub congregate on the dance floor dancing
Let’s get loud by Jenifer Lopez. I think Andrew, Cam and Imogen are surprised
to see the lady boys that they thought maybe they could get a picture with the
lady boys like the orangutan in Kuching.
The girl
which was flirting with an Italian Chinese guy becomes the scandal of the
night. They even have to carry her back to the guesthouse. I got back around 2am, not able to withstand
sharing the dorm room with a doctor recovering from a bad leg injury applied with
unbearable smelly traditional local herbs, odor that can be broken down into
43% sewage waste, 28% poo and lastly heavily decomposed body. I upgrade to a
single room sleeping soundly, knowing my respiratory is not affected by pungent
gas.
What a night to begin my Kuching trip!
