how'd your Friday night sound like?
-
Artist:
how'd mine, you ask? it tasted of day-old sandwich (smoked ham in foccaccia from Café Fresco by way of the fridge) meets authentic Pakistani fare (lamb korma, some roti, and a banana lassi at The Kabab Shop), plus 30 minutes of flash rain thrown in.beyond that, my Friday night peaked at imitation-Tom Jones and closed with Katrina & the Waves.
thanks to my disconcerting mix of brunch and dinner, i somehow landed in Qba at Hotel Cambodiana. a Malaysian Indian labeled as 'The Tom Jones of Asia' is the headliner and, man, did he have the moves to make me swoon after my overpriced margaritas. he did Frank Sinatra, too. you'd think the house band plays Latino muzak, as the bar's name suggests, but it was a Filipino band who did Magic-Sing-karaoke favorites.sorry to miss the Asian Mr. Jones's infamous chest-baring, i ended up in Green Vespa – where a green Vespa is perched atop the outdoor signage whilst the inside walls are painted a happy green. the Irish bar owner had mostly barefoot Irish guests dancing – lipsynching at performance level, really – to Grease. i soaked up the perky vibe with some Stella Artois and called it a night just as everyone started Walking on Sunshine.to think it wasn't a swampy day workwise, i got home beat and ready to hit the shower. i debated between Air and Mississipi Blues to ambiance me to sleep but decided finally that peace and quiet would be best.
