Wednesday night was a killer night! It was the 1st Anniversary of T-Models and the plan was for the usual suspects to head straight to Thumper between 8.00 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. When I rocked in, Edwin was already in the house with Dolores in a meeting wish Shay. Jackie and Lionel had also just landed…and soon after Olivia swung in. Lambo Bobby came down and quickly educated Lionel on what Absinth was! Scary! Sunder popped in to make up for leaving me at Balaclava the night before…and soon the party was in good swing! In good order, Ale, Prisca, Bryant and even Jess turned up! Boon and David were busy entertaining! Met this interesting girl called Lydia who was from Starhub and had a thing against Midas! Very strange considering this legal case was before her time. Oh well, I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinions…As it turned out….everyone that was anyone had come from the Indochine party. Lynette Lim and her husband popped in as well as Jin. Funny that I have known Lynette for ages and now she is Jin’s boss! The free flow of vodka made everyone quite happy! Even Laura Yin turned up! I must say she has filled out very nicely…and Laura being Laura, after saying her usual hello’s…..quickly ran off to flirt with the numerous hot male models in the house! As we mixed and mingled, Alexis and Yanni showed themselves after the fashion show. It was quite a fantastic crowd and everyone was really grooving! I actually hit the wall at about midnight and was about to go home but then I decided to see if I would win that iPod Nano for voting for the most popular model. Man…that iPod Nano is the coolest sexiest thing I have seen since….er…..since….I walked into a sex shop in Lucky Plaza! Wondering around after I bumped into Chris Wilson who was actually going home instead of to Attica! Amazing indeed! Its funny that now we look back, I have known Chris for nearly the past 7 years! How time flies indeed! Roaming around further, I had a few drinks with Wazeem from StarSports. Was happy to crash into Erika Swan and Charmaine Harn who still looks fantastic! Man, I used to have the biggest crush in Charmaine….and she certainly has improved with age! Just as the night wound down, I spotted Boon with a good friend of ours who had one drink way too many….Poor girl! She was utterly smashed! Well, it was 3.00 a.m. and it took an effort for us to haul her cute little ass out the door…and while Boon ran off to get her bags, this young lady happily decided to “let go” right on her own feet…and my shoes! Thank GOD for leather shows man! However, my velvet pants needed dry cleaning immediately! Remind me never to wear velvet pants when I have to take a LONG WALK at 4.00 a.m!

Sometimes the most fun nites out on the town are the ones you don’t plan. Tuesday was one of those nights. After spending most of the day in meetings, I headed down to Suntec city to have a final one with Sunder. We had to explore the feasibility of Fort Canning as a venue for 8000 capacity event. After sorting out our plans, we headed over to Balaclava as usual to catch up with Gerard. He is probably one of the most permanent fixtures in the club. Sunder had to meet another client, Helen, who was with the Australian Trade Commission (I think) and we all trooped in. Gerard snagged us a table and we stated on some beers and wine. It was good to just hang out and learn new things about new people. I must say the meat balls and the sausages as snacks are really happening! However, wine that has a screw cap instead of a cork is quite dubious....Scanning the crowd, it was little surprise to see Maddie, Samantha and Shirley in the crowd together with Steven. Ran off to the toilet and then bumped in to Rudy and Ravi. Rudy was quite intoxicated and poured me double Blacks till he passed out! I must say he is a great friend and can go a little nuts after drinking…but none the less…he is cool! Walked back to my table and guess what? Sunder had thought I had gone off and he and Helen together with Gerard had vacated the premises heading for bak kut teh without me! Man! Am I that easily forgotten? Anyway, was cool that William and Lawrence also turned up for drinks with some other friends and we had a good time catching up about the industry. At about midnight, it was time to run off and catch Michael at Thumper….and by that time I was quite sauced! Anthea turned up too and David Chin happily poured bottle after bottle of Moet down us! The nett result was…..Thea and me up on the bar counter! Thank God it was a quite night and I didn’t totally embarrass myself! Walked out of there with a distinct feeling of vertigo and a happy Moet buzz……

Saturday night had the hallmarks of a really special night. Daniel Ou had invited me to his wedding to Karen Kwee at The Pines Country Club….so off I went in jacket and tie! Reaching the club, I walk in to find Daniel and Karen outside the POOL! It was a outdoor BBQ style dinner!!! Lots of laughs were exchanged and quickly we tucked into dinner. The BBQ prawns were the highlight of the meal. Bobby H turned up without driving his trademark super car and proudly declared he did not drive cause he wanted to get drunk! At 19, he sure knows how to live life! Desmond and his girlfriend joined in and Boon came straight from the airport in his trademark suite as well (so I did not feel too left out) and as we ate and continued fellowship, it began to drizzle. It did not last long thankfully and by 10.30 pm, off we went to continue the party at Thumper. I had to prevent Boon from heading home as he had intended to…knowing him, he wouldn’t make it out! Reaching Thumper, we settled down to some drinks outside while waiting for the bride and groom. Bobby and Desmond had their rounds of Absinth (which I avoided like the plague) and soon, Victor turned up. Rounding up the group was Sheena and Shue Shue who claimed she was not going to come out too late cause of her diving course at 9 am the next day! (Tell us another fantasy of yours SHUE!) Victor had send down a couple of bottles of Znapps Vodka so there we were happily trying to replicate the mix we normally have at Velvet with limited success. Much to my joy, old friends Simon and U- Lan were in the VIP room that night and we had a good few glasses of bubbly .Also visiting from Kuala Lumpur was Matthew Ma from Indochine Malaysia and together with David Chin, we had a good time catching up. Rodney and Don popped down and Boon swung back in eventually and so did Lester and Conrad and POP!!! went the Moet kind courtesy of Boonsterino. At 3.00 am…..since we were already having our usual nites on the town, we were supposed to go check out this event down at Tanjong Pagar at a club called MOX. Since we all in a very good mood by this time (2 bottles of vodka and the champagne down…) off we trooped dragging poor Shue Shue with us….(the truth of it was she didn’t really needed to be dragged much!) Reaching MOX , we finally reunited with Rodney and Don….and after much a walking around too look for the entrance, we finally got into MOX. It’s actually part of the building that houses one of the top gay clubs in town, HAPPY…and tucked way way up on the 4th floor. I swear when we walked in it felt like a sauna! Too warm! NO AIR..and we quickly did an about face out to call it a night. Good thing! Another good night of no hang over the next day…just a gentle buzz of a good time!
