Victor's Farewell!!!

For those of you who have been following this blog, you would well know that many of my nights out on the town have been with one of my dearest and best friends, Victor Sujanani. I first met Victor way back in 1993 when I managed Max Speed Sports Bar and he came into Singapore from Hong Kong frequently for business and to hustle us at the foosball machine. Vic has always been a close and dear friend and as things happened...we ended up sitting together with Lincoln Cheng in Velvet for nearly 10 years, nearly every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday...at the same table in virtually the same chairs! Well, I suppose that after more than 14 years in Singapore and with the passing of Bobby, his dog, the time had come to return to the land of his birth, Hong Kong! Well.....we were all very sad and disappointed to see him go, the staff, our friends.....all of us....it has been truly one of the best clubbing times I have ever had! For his extended send off....most of our close knit of friends turned up...George, Don, Rodney, the Girls (er...cannot really remember all their names but Pat was there and er.....Vammy!). Of course Lincoln and the crew that has turned out to be nearly family were at hand, Alex, David Ho...the list goes on! Of course we had to give Victor a farewell gift, something unique to Velvet...and Lincoln had made the effort to reproduce the club logo and get everyone that Victor knew to pen something down together with us his "sai low's"! Farewell Victor! Things will never be the same......my nights out will be just that milder, just that less intoxicating, just that less special. We will all miss you and cannot wait for you to come back!
