First and foremost, I must thank Mr. Ma, one of the owners of Balcony, for the sponsoring us to Miri. Mr. Ma sponsored our air tickets, lodging and food!
I must also thank Kian and Shan Mei for bringing us around. Further, thank you Joanna, Rin, Hence (donât know whether I got his name correct), Darren, Kynan and puhyah for their great hospitality. Also a big shout out to those people I met in Miri!
Balcony is one of the great clubs in Miri. Itâs not the typical fengtau clubs. Mr. Ma has put a lot of effort trying to improve Balcony club to be on par with clubs in Kuala Lumpur. Their music ranges from Progressive House to Trance. Unfortunately, no Hard House for me.
Balcony has a few private rooms where patrons are able to sing their hearts out using their karaoke machines. Joanna booked a room and gathered her group of friends to celebrate her birthday. As expected, the birthday girl was drunk and couldnât remember a lot of things. She even missed the best part, where the entire club sang Happy Birthday to her!
Drunk Birthday girl, Joanna & Drunk Me.
Balcony also has a great range of liquor as well. They even have Hoegaarden!!
Rin was the hustler of the night. Every 5 minutes he would come to me and say, âLetâs get some drinks mannnnnâ. Rather than shuffling on the dance floor, Rin and I were drowning ourselves with alcohol. Darren, Rin and I shared a B-52 and then followed up with Hoegaarden. There goes my night, half drunk and half tired.
B-52..looks like Flaming Lambo..
Amos, Jordan and Ryan were the performing shufflers from KL. Those superstars were surrounded by Mirians. They were also joined by a few Mirian Shufflers.
I, on the other hand, was busy taking pictures. I donât know how to shuffle đ
They had a mini shuffling competition between Mirians, the winners were chosen by the clap-o-meter (or cheer-o-meter). The first round was won by a guy, beating 2 others which include a girl who shuffled with high heels. The second round was won by Joanna, beating few good shufflers. She said, âBloody hell, I won cause itâs my birthday!!â. They both won a bottle of Dewars each.
Silky Blonde Hair..where to find??
Puhyah, me, Rin, Kyran and Darren
We were given this shirt to wear. I forgot to wear it..
Hence & Darren. Damn..Hence is damn bloody fair
Finally, Miri girls!
We left Balcony about 3am. Rin, Darren, Kynan, Hence, Amos and I headed to Open Air Market for fried noodles. THE FRIED NOODLES TASTED LIKE DUCK!!!
