Dragon-i feels the funk for Gilbert Yeung's 40th birthday groove

Dragon-i was pimped up to resemble New York City's Studio 54 in its heyday in honour of Gilbert Yeung Kei-lung's private 40th birthday party on Saturday night. Thrown by fellow club founders Gordon Lam and Jackson Ng, everything was appropriately indulgent to recall the hedonistic sex and excess of the 1970s. Male servers were dressed only in shorts and strap-on angel wings, disco boogie rocked the speakers but the wackiest touches were the blown-up 1970s celebrity photos with Yeung superimposed into images next to Sylvester Stallone, Yves Saint Laurent and Frank Sinatra. Not to be outdone, the birthday boy arrived wearing a big black Afro wig and sunglasses with guitar-shaped lens.

'What can I say, I've survived this far. I used to be known as something of a bad-boy but now that I'm growing up I'm getting into more professional corporate things.' Presumably, that's why the G-Spot Productions party planner is involved in his father Albert Yeung's Emperor Entertainment Group empire.

But nobody likes to be reminded they are not as young as before.

'The worst present I got was someone gave me one of those walking canes. That guy is banned from Dragon-i from now on,' he joked.
