Carol and Andrew's Birthdya @ Bellini Grande

It was a double birthday with Carol and Andrew both throwing their party together at Bellini Grande, one of the most interesting and unusual nitespots in Clarke Quay. It features the Bellini Grande Pop Orchestra which is excellent, a interesting and intimate booth style seating and great mature company. Of course present were good friends like Edward and Anastasia, Gary and of course Sylvia. We had loads of Verve Cliquot Rose...a great laugh when Carol was brought onto stage to do a little dance and a great nite out on the town! Happy Birthday Guys (and Dolls)!!!

New Paper New Face 2008

Was invited again this year to The New Paper New Face 2008 at Civic Plaza at Ngee Ann City so headed down after work to check it out. Was not planning a real big nite out on the town but was pretty keen to check out the show again which was produced by Daniel Boey and presented by Subaru. There was quite a interesting bunch of contestants and was pretty supprised with the winner, Shahira Price who was one of the shorter girls in the competition...but had quite a cute face. I had my own fav...a cute short haired girl with quite a interesting attitude called Geraldine Chua who had the only short spikey hair cut...and another interesting girl who won Miss Vivacious, Sara Chen who were both Sylvia's and my fav! Well...perhaps I will give it a miss next year and try to snag them to do it with us in Resorts World in 2010!

Its RACE Day!

Yup...finally got some time to put up my race day entry. It was sure a hectic day with the London Fog's performance venue changing at the last minute to the F1 Village and with the shuffle of equipment and logistics but we managed to do everything in good time and as the band got to the track in plenty of time to set up and sound check. As the sound check went on well, I had to head over to the paddock to meet my guest Mark Burnett, Scot Cru and Man Shu Sum from Mark Burnett Productions Asia and give them a quick tour as well as do the pit walk. After that, we settled down to some champagne and good company catching up with Boss and meeting a few really interesting people in the Cuscaden Paddock. We also caught Miss Universe and Miss Universe Singapore there for some snaps....and as the paddock filled up, the mood sure reved up a few notches! Caught a few friends such as my cousin Kelvin and his bosses, Franck Brown, Michael Hosking, prominent international flutist Andreas, Noel and Nancy Hawkes, TJ Tay and his wife, Alice Oei, Jen Ong, Giorgio Ferrari, Rajiv Bhalla and friends....and also caught up with Franck and Edward in the Ferrari Paddock. Was totally disappointed with the Ferrari fiasco with the fuel line and Kimmi wiping out just at the end...and supprise supprise with the win by Alonso! Well...things got even more hectic at the end with the packing out of the band's gear. In the shuffle of venue's, the organizers kind of forgot on how to get the equipment and band out of the venue! A few stressful moments as well as a very sweet one of me waving to Sylvia who was on the track from the paddock. So near and yet so far! Well...it was off to work to sort out all the gear and then off to Amber Lounge to continue one of the best nights out on the town this year!
