MTV Office Launch Party

Here we go again! Raymond dropped me a buzz to invite me to the new MTV office party at the Holiday Inn Atrium Hotel down at Outram Road. Chivas had co-sponsored the party which had a casino theme so off I went to catch him at the Pernod Ricard Office....and together with Brandon, off we went to the party! I tell you he is one really lucky guy....playing Big/Small and ending up with a weekend stay at the swanky Westin Hotel in Bangkok! What did Raymond and me do? Drink lots of Chivas!!! DJ Fuzz was spinning....Deborah K, Vernon A from Mediacorp Radio....and even SpongeBob Squarepants who ended up going home with some other person. Of course this turned out to be one great night out on the town! Hick!!!

Miss Earth @ Q Bar

In our great efforts to save the earth...we helped host the launch party for the Miss Earth contest at Q Bar....and boy was it a good party. All the familiar faces were there for a good nite out on the town, Franck, Royston, Christina...even the MTV twins, Simone from the T-Models, Prakash and celebs like Charmaine Harn....Hossan Leong. Even Boon turned up for this very worthy cause and we know that he never comes to these kind of parties!! Overall a really cool night!

Scary Thoughts.....

The Ten Commandments of Marriage #1) Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning. #2) If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep. #3) Marriage is grand - and a divorce is at least 100 grand! #4) Marriage life is very frustrating! In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen. #5) When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife is. #6) Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one. #7) Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish. #8) Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife. #9) Marriage and love are purely matter of chemistry. That is why the wife treats the husband like toxic waste. #10) A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is fininshed.

Velvet turns 12!!!!

I really cannot imagine that I have been going to this very special place for the past 12 years. Velvet Underground has been my home...with my family and friends there....I sit at the same table all the time...I sit on the same chair....with the same friends arrayed around in the same way all the time.....the music is still as fantastic...the sound system is still one of the best in town, the service level is the benchmark which all clubs have to try to achieve....it is just the best club in town.

Ths fantastic room has been churing out the best music and the best times for 12 years now...and I dare anyone to say that they have had a bad time in Velvet. So when it comes to their anniversary....it becomes a night out on the town of unprecedented proportions. With a very fairy tale theme....the decor was set up like an enchanted forrest! Everyone who was anyone was there. The Q's went around the block...and of course all the boys were in action. Victor, Lincoln, Ade...the whole Pernod Ricard gang with Brandon and Alexis, KC and Shaun...even Chris Wilson and Daniel Ou were in full effect. Thank you Velvet...for all the good times!!!!

Don'S Birthday

Well....its a Tuesday night and what were we to do but celebrate another birthday! Don Sim, our good buddy...and one of the coolest wakeboarders and boat drivers this side of the Singapore River! Well...it was just a small little group of us that got together to give Don Don his little birthday nite out on the town....and this is just something to remember the few trays of shooters we did! Of course, Victor and Lincoln were well at hand to celebrate as well as a couple of his other friends. Happy Birthday DON!!!

Q Bars Official Opening

This is one post which I have long delayed but now finally down to! Yes guys and girls...after all this time of running bars and clubs and also having many many excellent nites out on the town in random ones both in Singapore and overseas, it was inevitable for me to go out and try to own one!!! Well...more accurately, its George and myself that have bought a share in one...Q BAR!!! Yes....the famous landmark bar from Ho Chin Minh City and Bangkok has finally opened its doors in our fair little island and I have a shareholder's part in it! Of course there are quite a few other shareholders some of who have been friends for ages such as Prakash, Arthur Tay, David Chin and Boon while some have become good friends such as Thomas, Karen, Frank, Scott and Howard! Needless to say the opening that lasted 2 days was a roaring success! Every and I do mean everyone that is anyone was there! Now lets just see if I can fit all the pics into this post!

Another Edwin's Birthday

Edwin Yee celebrated his birthday at Modestos this year...and we had a blast with good company and fantastic food! Cindy was happily feeding Edwin while we all enjoyed the excellent pizza there. Trust me people...this is really good stuff! Was a blast and a half!

42 Below @ MoS

Another random post about what I will now term my wondering months....was invited to attend a cocktail by Julian, Billy and Giorgio at PURE in MoS with 42 Below and their many many different flavored vodkas....which turned out to be quite a good nite out on the town. Met the principals and got quite a few good tipples of their excellent vodkas. In full effect with me were George, Lawrence Leong.....Ade....and out of the clear blue sky, my old friend from Kenny who moved to KL and who is now a big time bar owner of sorts. Mag turned up with Carl and as you can imagine...the rest became history!

Endless Love @ Thumper!

Its been ages since I blogged so I suppose its time I try catching up before it gets to far from me... and so comes the entry about the Endless Love Party that we held at Thumper. Dick Lee happily volunteered my services for this very charitable party in aid of his Rainbow Foundation which is set up to support talented kids who are unable or disadvantaged when it comes to exploring music, theatre and the arts. Well..it was really a blast from the past....we planned it to be something to remember our old days at one of the most important clubs of the 80's, Chinoiserie at the Hyatt! Cover was at $100 bucks a head and we sold more than 200 covers which we planned for! Audemar Piaget supported with a further $10K so we made more than $30K that night! COOOL!!! All the old faces were there...the Benjamin's, Arthur Tay, Fiona Xie, Ian Wong, Audrey Tay-Ong, Wendy Leong, David Chin, Eng Jeng Hwee...the list is quite endless! Anyway...it sure was a fantastic and nostalgic nite out on the town for all!!!
