Halloween @ Thumper 2009

Its that time of the year again that lets people go dress in virtually anything to club..yes...its Halloween! This year the party was at Thumper and after I got in my genuine China Security Guard outfit.... we headed down to check out the party. It sure was a excellent nite out on the town with the support of the party bus thanks to our good friend Clifford and Bosco! The costumes were quite wild and the crowd was really up for a good time. Seen in the crowd were a couple of Jokers, 2 Super Mario's (one with a real mustach)...a tube of toothpaste, ice cream, a sucide bomber...Elvis, some strange sailor girls, angels, demons and a few witches and gouls! Douglas from my office turned up, together with Satia, Eric Chan, Sum Yee and Pat, Nicholas Lee, Jonty and friends....and probablly more friends though I could not for the life of me recognize anyone!

Boon's 40th Birthday

Well...Its my friend Ah-Boon's turn to finally turn the big 40 and we decided to celebrate with dinner at Long Beach @ Dempsey! Time to dig into some serious prawn, crab and all the good stuff! As usual he was late and we gobbled some peanuts to satisfy our hunger but very soon we were all tucking into some good grub! Apart from Sylzz there were the boys....Daniel, Jeff and me...as Boon happily popped his cork! We did think about having a further night out but I suppose turning 40 makes us realize it was a school nite and that we should not have a big nite out on the town...though I heard that some in the bunch eventually did! Naughty naughty! Happy Birthday Boon!!!

Panasonic Kranji Mile 2008

For the second year, I was happily invited to the Panasonic Kranji Mile as guest of Panasonic. This is the 3rd biggest prize in Singapore horse racing and as guest of the main sponsor, naturally we were up in the sponsors box! Way Cool! (And cooling!) Supprisingly THT had also accepted the invite together with Angela and Bobby See so had to be good that day. Sylzz and me mad sure to be there right on time in our Sunday finest and so we were ready for a day at the races! We really had a great time putting small bets on the races and cheering them on. Made a little bit of money but nothing compared to Uncle Desmond who made quite a killing! Lucky bugger! Big thanks to Chan-San....Leonard and Marcus.....not quite a nite out on the town but was quite a cool way to spend the day!

Dan's Farewell

Heading over to Bar None, we were really looking forward to catching up with my good friend Daniel Teo. We have both known each other since his days in the cosmetics biz and my first concert, Lisa Stansfield! Well...we lost touch...connected again...lost again...reconnected...and now as he moves from APB Singapore and our main contact for putting the deal with Tiger Beer and us at RWS....and then he gets promoted and moved over to Shangahi! Well it was a memorable nite catching up over beer and champagne! Cheers Daniel! Thanks for all the help and looking forward to you showing me Shanghai and a nite out the town there! (Little would I know I would go all the way there to have him bring me to dinner in a Singapore restaurant! Hahahaha!)

The NEW BMW 7 Series

My next little party was with Noel down at the Performance Centre. We had been invited to drop in for a private preview of the BMW 7 Series in their new showroom so I quickly headed over to check it out. Got to keep the inspiration for my driving license I suppose. Well...to be honest, I was not totally impressed. It is suppose to be a whole generation ahead of the current one....it looks quite similar to the old one. I suppose I expected quite alot more! The rest of the Performance Centre was quite amazing though. Finally got up and personal to the new X6....the outstanding 6 Series.....and a couple of glasses of champagne and wine! Funny that we left there for our next little function in Noel's new Merc CLS 350 AMG! Hahahaha! BWM must have been kicking themselves! Well...next step down to Balaclava for Daniel's farewell! Onwards with my nite out on the town I suppose....

Pure Attitude @ The Scarlett

Well....its the start of quite a few little parties and the first one was organized by 42 Below down at The Scarlett Hotel. Pure Attitude indeed! Ning and the bartenders there had set up quite a few cool little cocktails paired with some matching canape's. Well.....met with the sales team there and got a quick tour of the hotel. Quite interesting indeed! The start of a great nite out on the town indeed!

Wakefest 2008

Not really a post about a nite out on the town but a cool little event down on the floating platofrm. Organized by my old friend Paul Fong and the Singapore Waterskiing and Wakeboarding Federation, it featured some of the top riders from the world throwing monster tricks on the water....on the rails and even on dry land! A cool little feature was the wake pools that they set up where you can actually wakeboard on dry land! COWABUNGA! Just be careful you fall into the pools and not outside!
