don't duck it with Jagger

i didn't manage to influence my close friends to join. even sil wasn't able to join, she had class to attend. so i went by myself, left the rest of the baggage behind. should've brought Dayana along, though. didn't know what to expect at the scene, so better safe than sorry!

used the Maps app on iPhone to find the location; i've never been to Jaya One before. kinda got lost in the parking lot to begin with. Jaya One seems to be like some kind of layered island. of all the shops that i needed to avoid because the music wouldn't carry that far, were the ones i came across first: sushi king, nandos. lol. i rounded the entire complex on the outside perimeter before coming across the big giant Duck, which meant i was at the right place =D

met the Deensy twins at Starbucks around 8pm (thank God they i knew someone there, i think i'd have turned straight back home if i didn't). the dance area was tinyyyyyy. and at this time there seemed to be very little mingling about the stage area, which made me worry that we'd end up just dancing amongst ourselves. boy was i wrong. we had to worry about having enough space to flap our arms. the crowd was huge ok!

by the time the queued songs starting playing the dance crowd kinda tripled. don't worry about not being out of sync, or having two left feet, because people definitely won't even notice. everyone was too busy dancing it didn't matter what and how you looked like. no pics from my end because i didn't have a cameraman. someone uploaded a video of the whole flash mob dance, and i had to laugh (omg so that was how we actually looked like!). it only lasted for about 3 minutes or so, but i had fun.

there were other activities happening the whole day, i only dropped by for the dance only. one of the objectives of this event is to encourage the community to support the cause for cervical and breast cancer awareness and early detection. here's the poster advertising the whole event:




some creative Ducks that were on display

after boogieing, we went for dinner at Nandos. it was really fascinating to see the little one eat, so totally different from my other two kids who i really wished i had lugged together with me to Jaya One. she likes tomato sauce, okay! hahaha. anything weird-looking, my dots won't eat. although the phase of chewing-then-spitting-out-the-remnants i have gone through with both Dayana and Dinara. Dayana gives me warning first, Dinara doesn't.

here's the only photo of all of us that night. sans the husbands, of course, who decided to go low profile.
