Skull Island Halloween Party 2012 @ Zouk KL

Who would have thought that just going for Halloween party could be so stressful? It didn't help that I was doped up on cough meds, was the logistics person, designated driver and coordinator for my friends. And as of Friday, I didn't have my costume yet!

I went costume hunting on Friday since it was a public holiday and managed to get a gothic lacey pirate attire from Costumes N Parties @ the Weld for Zouk's Halloween Party. All the nicer ones were pre-booked so they only had three outfits left. Serves me right for doing last minute preparation.

Anyway, after picking up a group of my friends and meeting another group at the club, we spent a few minutes snapping pictures with the cool decorations that occupied the parking lot.




Pretty lasses all in a row.



My dearies.

My favourite was when a group of pirate zombie dancers performed 'Gangnam Style'. Made me wish that my group of my dance studio was here so that we could join in but half of them went for the Big Bang concert instead.

Even though it was only 1130pm when we went in, Phuture was packed! The bartenders were running back and forth, taking orders from the many many patrons crowding/loitering at the bar. I just wish that they would just take their drinks and make way for other patrons. Prakash suggested flashing a boob or one of his guns.

We were bouncing between Phuture and Velvet for a change in music and that's what I like about Zouk; its many rooms and music choices. Unfortunately, the dance floors was just too crowded so we we ended up just bobbing in one spot the rest of the night while checking out the cute guys. Like this one below:

SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKA!

Nevertheless, it was a fun and memorable night. I spotted Thor, mad scientists, a hippie, a gypsy and a cowboy who lost his way from Klang....

Salute to Zouk KL for pulling off yet again one of the most happening parties in town. I think the crowd waiting outside the club at 2am just to get in will agree. And thanks to April for the free entrance passes (and congratulations on your bun in the oven!)

Halloween Costume Tips for Clubbers

It's that time of the year that I love the most! ...apart from Christmas, New Year's, my birthday, every public holiday available in Malaysia....

Where was I going with this again? Oh, right. It's Halloween!

This means that the most happening clubs in Kuala Lumpur will be throwing Halloween themed parties this weekend. If you are like me and have not prepared your outfit yet, you might want to start googling places to rent from.

Here are a few tips to bare in mind when selecting your costumes for a night of party clubbing:

1. No wings or big props. Imagine turning in a circle and knocking down everything around you including your friend's Flaming Lamborghini. Yup, that will make a great memory to remember Halloween by.

2. Shoes are a must. Even if you are coming dressed as a hobo, always include SHOES as part of your costumes. To share April Augustin (one of the brains behind Zouk's awesome parties)'s experience, "It's not safe to go shoeless in the club. One year we had a group of zombies who came in full character and we told them to go back to their cars and grab their shoes." Simply put, clubs are where girls strut around in sky-high heels, cigarette butts are flaked to the ground and glasses are sometimes scattered. Enough said.

3. No big bags. Is that your overnight bag dancing with you? No, I don't care if it is a part of the costume or that you got your handphone, Ipad, camera, makeup set, change of clothes and extra pair of shoes in there. No big bags to crowded clubs and this should be applied to every time you go clubbing. Not only are you an easy target for pickpocketing, your big trusty bag will probably annoy someone enough to push you into a drain.

4. The right underwear. Odds are you are going to be dancing and moving about a lot so be sure to wear the right undergarments (design and colour-wise) to go with your attire. We don't want to see your camel toe or even your neon coloured bra or Calvin Klein boxers.

5. Play the part. If you have gone through all the hassle to do yourself up like a particular character, then why not just embody the character and have fun with it? After all, it's just for one night. Let loose and don't shy away from the camera.

So where are you partying this weekend?

I for one will be heading over to Zouk KL on 27 Oct, Sat for its infamous Halloween party. Last year's party was themed 'Nightmare before Halloween' and it was awesome! Have a look-see here if you don't believe me.

This year's theme is Skull Island so expect many versions of Jack Sparrow and adult-rated Ariel the Little Mermaid. Zouk KL has a whole night of fun and entertainment lined up so hope to see you there!
