On the Road Again!

Yes! Our fine team from Universal Studios Singapore hit the road again to continue with their much publicised Audition Tour. Continuing onwards on our second leg, we now will visit Brisbane, Sydney and then back to Manila, Hong Kong and ending up in Singapore. We have found a truckloads of talents in all the countries that we have visited with a really warm reception from all involved! Of course, this has also led to a few interesting nites out on the town by the team...only thing is that I am not on the tour too! (Which makes someone near and dear very happy indeed!)

Well...if you do know of anyone with some talent, do check out our website at www.rwsentosa.com and come down for the auditions!!!!

FHM Girl Next Door Finale 2009

Yup....back to where it all started....with Zirca hosting the finale party of the much anticipated FHM Girl Next Door competition and it certainly turn out to be a BIG nite out on the town! Nearly everyone was there...Royston and gang, Julynn, Frances, Holman and their posse, Andrea Fonseka, local singer Mark Boniface, one half of the Muttons and the funniest lawyer I know...Suresh.....and of course our host and good friend, David Furhmann Lim. The champagne sure flowed and Sylzz and myself got into good spirits with great company before running off to Butter Factory to catch up with Franck and his posse! One of the top nites out indeed! Cheers!!

Red Bull X Fighters

One of the coolest nites out on the town we have had was courtesy of Red Bull with their showcase of the Red Bull X Fighters! These are a group of professional motorcross bikers that jump their bikes a good 30 plus feet in the air and throw stunts like the Superman Seat Grab! Talk about a awesome sight! Well....it was a good gathering of some of our RWS team with Rosemary, Stephen, Heidi, Matthew all enjoying the show and getting great ideas on getting them to do something similar with us in Resorts World when we open. What a spectacle especially with the Singapore Flyer in the background! And mind you...they did all of this on cement which ment one false flight and.....pancake! But of course...these guys are professionals! Cannot wait to get them back into Singapore soon! Could not stay long as it was the second last game of the Premiership and Arsenal played Manchester United....with United only having to draw the game to become Champions. Well....I suppose you all know the result from my previous blog!

Phil Albritton's Wedding

One of my old friends, James Albritton's eldest son was getting married and of course we were invited. James used to live here in Singapore in the late 90's and we spent many a weekend out on Kallang River waterskiing....out partying and drinking tequila. Phil's son was one of those wayward kids that never went to school, got into endless trouble and was generally a rebel to the point that James nearly sent him off to the Marines!!! Well...looks like Phil turned out well in the end....marrying a girl he kept in touch with when he was still in Singapore and who ended up hooking up with back in the States! It was a little romantic that they chose to marry back in Singapore so the close friends all gathered together for dinner and memories! A good nite out on the town without the booze but with great friends!

Boat Asia '09

Its a Sunday and what I had hoped to be a nice warm afternoon threatened to rain but off I went anyway to Keppel Marina to check out the boats, dive equipment and hang with the boys and their toys. Well...there was more than everyone's fair share of toys to be had from cool cigarette boats straight out of Miami Vice to cabin cruisers for fun in the sun....speed boats and yachts to even toys like helicopters. Vig presented his way cool Can-Am Spyder 3 wheeler which attracted more than its fair share of attention as well as his latest SeaDoo that also goes in reverse! The weather didn't do us any favors that day and the heavens opened up with a drenching making everyone seek shelter. Caught up with Nelson, Chris and the boys while being cheated over a dive bag that they claimed would fit into a airplane overhead compartment....which of course it does not. Not really a nite out on the town but none the less quite a fruitful afternoon with some new dive gear!

Star Trek 2009

Ah....finally my beloved Star Trek is redone by JJ Abram's and what a bold trip to somewhere no men have gone before it was! Even to Trek newbies like Sylvia it turned out to be a good movie!!! Star Trek for the Oscars??? Wishfull thinking but a great nite out on the town though I loss my keys.....lucky it was before my car came!

Heineken Green Room Sessions

Heineken had one of their famous Green Room Sessions with some strange DJ again at the Pit Building...and of course we were invited to check out the party. Most of the marketing and entertainment team as well as chaps from the F & B and Universal Studios Team came along to have a few cold ones....and a big nite out on the town was in the making! I was quite a good night although it was supprising that we ran out of cold beer fairly early on and they should really get their people to recognize who are VIP's and generally important people much better....Going to make sure that doesn't happen at our events!!! Anyway...Cheers Heineken! HicK!

VIP Launch

Its been a while since I updated this blog so a few quick entries are in right order..... Well...the first is something real ground breaking for Singapore......Playboy comes to town! Yeah...well...it was kind of like Heff and his bunnies have finally taken up residence in here although wearing alot more clothes with the launch of VIP magazine! My good friends there Dillon and Conrad had arranged for our very hard to come by invites so of course we turned up to enjoy the revelry and what a party was! Royston was there together with Glenn Ong, the publishers of VIP Italy and Serbia became friends as well as Wiwick, the Indo publisher of the Singapore edition (Congrats PAK!!! Good one!!). Was even lucky enough to take pictures with both Playmates of Italy and Serbia!!! WOOO HOOO!!! Not that white chicks float my boat but how often do U get to take a picture with a few playmates with your girlfriend in tow and NOT get into a fight??? Hahahaha! A very big night out on the town indeed!!!
