Have you tried rum n coke?<br /><br />Koh Daisy<br />Oh Yes Ambassador n Airport Nightclub. <br />Only $5 cover charge inclusive of the Rum n Coke. <br />So packed those days, no place for fanciful dance steps. <br />Just “Move the refrigerator” as they say in Hokkien or Lamsing. <br />I still have an old cutout or photo of the packed Airport dance floor somewhere.<br /><br />Andy Young<br />Koh Daisy thanks for the vividly focussed and sharp view of the nightclub scene those years.

Years ago, I was working for an organisation that had a booth at the annual Wedding Show in Winnipeg, and I did a shift during one weekend. During the fashion show, with lovely models showing off bridal gowns, one piece of music they played over and over was"Rum and Coca Cola" ... a song about streetwalkers ...! I thought that was pretty funny.JANE DICK MANITOBA CANADAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-51083473581477274742017-07-13T09:32:47.500+08:002017-07-13T09:32:47.500+08:00I drink beer or wine (prefer white).I drink beer or wine (prefer white).FABIAN FOO (VIDEO CAM ENTHUSIAST)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-37733064635210608102017-07-13T09:30:13.611+08:002017-07-13T09:30:13.611+08:00No special drink as long as there is no alcohol.No special drink as long as there is no alcohol.YUSNOR EF (Lyricist, Author, Lecturer, Cultural Medallion Winner, Singapore)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-57401225087830513352017-07-12T19:12:30.985+08:002017-07-12T19:12:30.985+08:00Till today it's still one of my favourite drin...Till today it's still one of my favourite drinks.

I was no night bird - had a very strict father. It was only when I started working that I did go to West Point in Pasir Panjang a couple of times. Don't remember if I tried any hard drinks. Years later, some lady friends introduced me to Campari and Seven-Up. Even then I didn't take to that well -developed some kind of allergy.<br /><br />So you can imagine a situation in New Zealand when I attended dinners with the Kiwis. When asked to drink, I declined - giving the reason that I would develop a rash. When offered coffee at the end of the meal, I said no - I won't be able to sleep. I asked for 'Adam's Ale' - warm. What a 'suaku' from Singapore.<br /><br />Today I quite enjoy ice-cream with some liqueur such as Lychee Martini, Kahlua Krunch, Baileys Choc Chips from Daily Scoop.CYLIN (BLOG CONTRIBUTING WRITER)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-67445363164828700162017-07-11T21:47:20.249+08:002017-07-11T21:47:20.249+08:00Allergic to beer and hard drinks.Allergic to beer and hard drinks.ZAINAL ABIDIN (LEADER, BASSIST, 'THE DUKES')noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-41258601302577652972017-07-11T21:45:06.890+08:002017-07-11T21:45:06.890+08:00Hi Andy,
