The Aussies Are Coming

Stewart had a few friends in town so we decided to make another big night out on the town with the rest of the boys in Velvet. Got my corner table finally and rolled in with Royston, Ismay, Stewart, Matthew and the boys. As the Verve started flowing even Shawn who just got back into town dropped in with Jeremy who was leaving back to Sri Lanka the next morning! Woah...what a big night it turned out to be! Michelle popped in....and so did Vig and in a short time...we were all having a huge party! Woah....talk about a headache on Sunday!

KL comes to Singapore!

It seemed like only days before we were in KL with KuAl rockin' the clubs and before you know it, he calls to say he and his brother are heading into Singapore! Of course it was time for us to return the favor and show them the scene here. The last time Al was around we were in St James....this time it was MoS!This time round even Alana and a few friends came along for the nite out on the town here....so since it also happened to be Rose's birthday we all got together with Felicia and had a good time out from MoS main room and ending up in Smoove.

Last Nite in KL!

Well...after a really long day at Sepang, I was sincerely debating the logic of doing another big night out on the town in KL but since I was here...I decided to go for it while Roy and Ismay took it easy and ordered loads of room service it seems! Off I headed to Heritage Row and checked out a few new places such as Maison...Atrium and a few more where I bumped into everyone from DJ Love, Groovedoctor, Azam and then onwards to Velvet again where I spent time with my old boss Peter Chong and Tan. Of course things naturally got totally out of hand and I ended up at some strange after hours party at KL Tower with Sebastian Hagel and a whole bunch of others...... and getting totally pissed! Lucky thing it was just a roll down the hill back into my hotel! Alas, another big night out on the town in KL and again I cannot wait to come back!

Formula V6 @ Sepang.....and I got behind the wheel!

Once again a big thank you to Alex who lent us his driver and car to send us up to Sepang to catch the Formula V6 race that was held in conjunction with the Japan GT race. We got there in the heat but in good order and found the Tara DTM team paddock. Hafiz was just about to get ready for his run in qualifying but was gracious enough to entertain us. MAN IT WAS HOT!!! Royston and myself were sure facinated by the thrill of being in the pit that was just a few levels away from our beloved F1. Hafiz even let both of us get into his CAR!!! Man! That was one of the most unexpected but thrilling experiences ever. I don't know how much each car cost but I do remember it was more than a few hundred thousand EURO's! Well...of course, since we had pit passes, we joined him in the line up before the qualifying race with some fantastic close up pictures. Check out his helmet guys! Well.....unfortunately Hafiz was knocked out by someone else in the team which was very bad news indeed. While I don't think Ismay had a really good time, Roy and myself sure did and the time of our lives with a chance to do something very few people could....and all this before another nite out on the town in KL!!!

KL Nites with Roy & Ismay and ALL the Boys!

Well well...finally...off we went to KL to catch the Renault Formula V6 race where our good friend Hafiz Koh was racing with his team Tara DTM at Sepang. However, before we got there...Roy, Ismay and myself had decided to take the bus up and of course, that night....we just had to go and join a party! It was Kamal's birthday and of coure we were invited so after my very successful meeting with Alex Wong from STM, we headed off to get a quick Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa and then to the party at Damansara Heights. Alex had kindly lent us his car and driver and good thing it was too cause it POURED and we got all a little lost. Of course all the boys where there. my two brothers Boy and Jamie, Al, Kudin, Myra turned up with the girls...and even Ozlem from IndoChine! Well....in the pouring rain, we trooped of with Kudin to Velvet where we caught up with Cher and the rest of the lads there. Ridzman turned up...and so at the end of the night, Roy and Ismay headed back to the hotel. Of course I was not ready to call it a night and off I went to Heritage Row. Naturally I found a party...at Bar Blond....and finally managed to get home with a rather large hang over to head over to catch the qualifying race in Sepang. All in all a excellent nite out on the town in KL!!!!

Style Magazine Anniversary @ BarFly

Yes...it was one of those weeks with way too many parties and events packed over a few days. Why do everyone seem to want to hold their parties all within the same week??? Oh well...it makes for a good nite out on the town then. Style Magazine was holding their anniversary and as things would have it, the event was sponsored by my good friend Chivas Regal!!! Indeed man! How could I resist! Well..rocking into the club just as the party was kicking off.....you can imagine the elation on catching up with Raymond, Alexis, Brandon, Daren...the incoming marketing manager for Pernod Ricard.... It was expecially cool cause many of the familiar faces were in attendance, Elaina and Angie from Kaiiten, Felicia, Rose, Ching Wyin, Conrad....the list goes on! It sure was quite fun with more than adequate amounts of Chivas floating around. Well...our last port of call with the PR team before calling it an end to the nite out on the town was Velvet where Ivan joined us! Oh boy...and its only a Thursday night!!! * I really like this pic of the Chivas...notice the golden glow of this wonderful drink!!!*
