Whoops...another little post that I forgot....was invited by Noel Hawkes to his place for a little BBQ and to chill out befor National Day. Most of my colleagues from RWS turned up but the one kid that stole the show was Andrew Goh's adoreable son! Amongst the people there was Patrick Fiat, Seah Ee Boon from HR, Douglas Trueblood from USS, Patricia Lee from Hotels and a whole bunch of other people from the office. Even big boss turned up for a while! Some great wine...great company...and a good easy nite out on the town with the team and my special someone.
Yes..the party animal finally records his nights out...and makes an effort to try to at least stay sober to remember what I ended up doing! People always say that its not the destination but the journey that counts...but all I say is that so long as you end up in a room with great music, cool company and a glass of Chivas...the rest doesn't matter.

SupperClub Opening
Missed this little party....well..after work...off I went to check it out. Supperclub is a sister of the famous one in Amsterdam opened by my friend here Orhan Koc. Supperclub is down at Odeon Towers. Its a exact replica of the one there it seems...and all the Uber Cool people had decended on it. Quintessentially had sent invites to all of the members so of course I joined in to check out the new boy on the block. Most of the usual suspects turned up including Rose, Caroline, Anastasia and even Patrick Grove, David Furhman Lim and Amanda, Riaz Metha, Giorgio Ferrari and Peter Martin. Daniel from APB was there as well as Ross Knudson from LAMC...so ended up with a few more beers! Crashed into my friends James and Richard from KL who married Tunku Myra and off we went to show off Thumper when the party was winding down. All in all...a good nite out on the town!
Skipping around the Clubs with Skip!
Our new entertainment consultant from Universal was in town and I was tasked to take him around. After the Festival of Fire, we headed for a look at St James, then down to Clarke Quay and Ministry of Sound..and finally over to Zouk. Well....I think he got the picture! Zouk proved to be the highlight of the night and we bumped into the team from Moet Hennessey Diageo. Joined in the party with their new marketing manager for champagne, Irene Kong who happened to be a old friend from my days in KL and together with Danny Yong, Gordon, Milton and the gang, had quite a few glasses of bubbles much to the impress of Skip! Sara was a great sport and we all had a smashing good time till pretty early in the morning cause of his early flight. Heard he slept like a baby on board the flight back to LA....as expected! Another nite out on the town done and dusted...and my official duties..OVER!
Festival of Fire
Had our Entertainment Consultant Skip Sherman in town who wanted to see our little Festival of Fire so off we went to check it out at the Floating Stage on Marina Bay. Well...after the fireworks in Beijing, we...you can imagine it was somewhat of a anti-climax. Was very puzzled why the music was all FRENCH??? Turned out that it was a team from France blowing off smokes! Guys...take a note from the Chinese who invented the stuff.....follow the beat and make sure the timing sticks! Well, even Skip was not too impress...but judging by the OOOhs and Ahhh!....some of the crowd was. We gonna really show them something when Universal Studios Singapore opens! I was really missing my new Sony Alpha but was due to do a club tour with him so didn't really want to haul it all around. The start of a interesting nite out on the town! BOOM!

My Olympic Memories!
Yes....just a few more grand Olympic memories about Beijing. It really quite a incredible place....old...yet new...grand and opluent yet traditional and intimate. You can feel the history in the air in many places. The one thing I kept saying to myself....they certainly dont make things small in China. Its just a truly oddly scary yet incredible place to visit. As you can imagine, lots of possiblities for big nites out on the town but this trip was all about sports....and Budweiser!!! BURP!
