Our First KL Weekend Together

After a 7 hour bus ride, we were both sore and in a reasonablly ill mood for the start of our long weekend in KL and swore we would never take a bus to KL over a long weekend again. We started our party by catching a show by my fav KL comedian Joanne Kum in Velvet Underground KL where we bumped into Eddy, Cher, Roslan and more! I think I supprised Sylzz about the number of people in KL I actually knew! The night ended up very well for us as we walked back to the hotel ready for the next day. Lunch was at Sakura in Jalan Imbi with their usual yummy friend chicken and lovely rendang! We then went up to see Al and Erica with their new baby Ayden! What a bundle of joy he was! Al has sure taken to fatherhood well! Our next stop was dinner with Jamie, Jinnie, Boy, Eddy and Aziz who dropped in later at Bangsar Seafood with their fantastic butter crab! We then headed over to Bangsar and the then famous Telawi Street Bistro for drinks....before heading off to the much talked about Sultan's lounge with Boy, Mark and company! Our last meal there was the kind of famous KL Bak Kut Teh in Imbi again before we caught the bus back....a great two nites out on the town in KL with great food, plenty of drinks and fantastic company!

Girl Next Door 2009

A little bit of a older post here but something I wanted to put down none the less. David had invited us down to Zirca for the launch party of this year's FHM Girl Next Door so after a dinner at Hooters with Royston and gang...off we trooped to a very crowded club. Straight into the VIP section and grabbing a table, we quickly started off with a few bottles of bubbles and good company. Quite a number of the usual suspects turned up including some from overseas! Andrea brought Hans Issac down, Timothy Chan turned up with the ACS team before heading off to play poker and after her class, Sylzz joined to lend support to one of her friends who got in the finals but didn't even turn up for the event. It was quite a nite out on the town by our bunch but I seriously question if I want the girls I saw to really live next door to us! (Thus no pictures of any of the girls! Hahaha!)

We are Champions AGAIN! GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!

To many people turning 18 is something very special.....its reaching a legal point in your life that you can go out and get drunk on a big nite out on the town in most clubs....you can start to learn how to drive....buy cigarettes at a 7 Eleven....but for Manchester United...18 is the magic number of times we have won the Premiership! A rather lackluster performance against Arsenal led to a goal less draw....but that was enough! That one point sealed our win with one of the greatest teams we have ever had! Ronaldo, Rooney, Vidic, Ferdinand, Van Der Sar, Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Da Silva, Nani, Anderson, Neville, Hargreaves, Evra, Brown, Park as well as our fantasic substitutes...Teves, Berbatov, O'Shea, Macheda, Da Silva, Kuszczak, Campbell, Fletcher,Evans and not to forget the one and only Sir Alex Ferguson! One more game to go but its already done and dusted with 3 cups in the cupboard...and just one more to go...the Champions League against a tough Barcalona. Glory Glory Man United!

One More Point!!!

It was a restless night for me getting home real early with the idea to sleep and wake up to catch the footie. Man U were playing Wigan and a win would put us one point away from the Premiership title....so toss and turned.....put off a nite out on the town with my good friend Victor who flew in from Hong Kong for 2 days....and in the end.....fell asleep only to wake up at 5 am and miss the damn game! Not good indeed...but the results was very satisfactory.....a 2 - 1 win!!! Teves and Carrick scoring in the second half to take us to within ONE POINT of the cup! All thats left is the fight between us and Arsenal this weekend....which should be a great game and that last game against Hull! All we got to do is draw and its ours! Now time to cross fingers indeed!

Oasis in Singapore

Yes...thats right....my next nite out on the town was with Oasis! How cool is that! Well....I suppose my days of running around back stage are well and truly over since all I seem to do now is watch the show from the front! Man....I miss those days of total havoc while under the total lack of sleep! Well.... the Gallagher brothers sure put up a great show with their greatest hits belted out one by one to a full house! I think the Liam is a little weird spending the whole nite in his trench coat with his hands in his pockets.....and I really think Noel has a better voice! Well...should not complain since I got free tickets! Sylzz sure enjoyed herself though...but not as much as the Rod Steward concert...no soccer balls I guess! Hahaha!

Rolls Royce 200EX

And while on the topic of cars, I then move on to the other end of the spectrum! I was invited by Rolls Royce to the preview of their newest model...the 200EX...and was it a special nite out on the town! It was one of the first events at the spanking new Capella hotel which is our neighbour...so of course I was more than keen to attend. Noel and myself were invited for the evening session...and of course I pulled up in my very un-glam taxi while Noel came in his Merc CLS AMG.....oh well.....he is OLDER! The ballroom was very unusually round...and was ushered in with much aplom to chill with various other VIP's. It was a very dignified and exquisite affair with just the right number of people to match the right number of service staff. Very personalized service....excellent nibbles....and loads of free flow of Perrier Jouet! My kind of party indeed! Of course met all the Rolls Royce VIP's like Tom Purves, their CEO as well as various other heavy hitting big wigs who were all very hospitable when I mentioned we were looking at purchasing 6 cars! One of them thought I was joking till he saw my business card....talk about foot in mouth! Much thanks to my local host Valerie who made sure I was well taken care of! Well.....its a little different from my humble Avante...but for more than a million bucks, I expect the damn thing to drive and park itself!!!

Avante! Avante!!!

Yes.....in addition to my new driving license....I have given myself a big birthday present.....a new car! Went down to the local Hyundai dealer and decided on picking up a new Avante 1.6 Sports. Metalic Sand with a grey interior.....fog lights, front and rear sensors, auto boot release, solar film....audio control steering wheel.....digital climate control......oh yeah! Not something that I would take out on a nite out on the town when I drink but will sure help in the getting around! More updates coming soon! Now all I have to do is to learn how to park without poles!
