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!
