The Merchants Rock the Hard Rock!

Yes Sir! The Merchants of Psychedelia had a really rocking gig at Hard Rock with a nearly packed house! Jon, Marcus, Michael and Sister Mary really had a fantastic gig that night and from the rousing support of the crowd which included Nat as well as Hans Hallan, GM of Carlsberg who was really quite impressed! I am really glad that they have been improving! Jon took duty with lead vocals that night and their original compostion "Retro Dancing Girl" really woke up the house. You could imagine our supprise when the crowd started screaming for an encore...which led the band to kick a rousing last song of the Beatles classic, "Love Me Do". As manager of this new band, I am really feeling the love and pride. These guys have really put alot of effort and heart into their music and I am looking for great things from them in the future. A really cool end to the night was when the house band got the boys up one at a time....Sister Mary played a song....then we got Marcus up to sing...and finally Jon took the stage! A excellently wonderful night out on the town! ROCKIN MAN!!!

A Good T-Party!!!

My Sat nights have been fully occupied with our T-Parties in Thumper and usually I don't blog about it cause its just lots of leggy models drinking free vodka and having a rocking good time but this one was different. At the start of this night out on the town, some of our familar models such as Alla and Antoniette were in the house as well as our usual boys, David, Paul Foster and even Cherine turning up! In efffect tonite was Thomas Fernandez as well as Sam Chia and also the hot chicks from the Jim Beam Posse swung in for a few. The night rocked on when Daniel Ou hung around till late with Edwin, Yvonne, Clarice and Patrick kicking up a storm! How fun!

Dragonfly......A Hip Hop Canto Club!

Dragonfly at the St James Power Station is one of the newest clubs in town so off I went to go check it out. Canto live music with William Scorpion....Sly from Singapore Idol...and a whole host of hot dancers....then the DJ comes in with great Hip Hop! Isn't that strange??? Anyway...caught up with Dennis Foo who got his staff to give me the grand tour of the whole place including Mono, the KTV upstairs. Though KTV isn't really my thing, but it sure has one of the best sound systems from D & B ever installed in a small room. Franck and the boys were in the house as well as Edward and the Ferrari boys. Its supprising just how many people working there I know! Kelly who is gonna manage "The Bellini Room", Steven Cheng who used to be my assistant at Funky Town and who now manages Dragonfly, Andrew Ing, their COO, Eric Lam, their Director of Operations and even Craig Burriage....in charge of their sound and lighting system! Of course I caught da man Dennis himself and had a few with him before calling it a good night out on the town!

The Glenlivet Launch!

Whoops...forgot to add another post! This one was extra special to me.....and of course...it has to do with the nectar of the God's...WHISKEY! Yes folks...THE GLENLIVET has arrived! One of the finest single malt's known to man and beast had their launch at The Arts House and of course your truly was kindly invited by Raymond to partake of the experience...and what an experience it was. As I walked into Q Bar....bumped into Peter Prentice from Pernod Ricard who was shooting some story for Channel News Asia for their program "What Men Want, Really" and was drafted in as a stunt double to taste the whiskey! Of course we then ended up chilling while waiting for 8 pm to kick off the tasting. We wondered into the Arts House and was lucky that we were let into take a peek at the actual Parliment Chamber! Of course we took full advantage of it with Raymond doing his best impression of being an MP and our guest Simon from Pernod Ricard Asia who came all the way in from Hong Kong having a chance to see this truly unique room. It was a truly wonderful experience learning about how special this fantastic tipple was made...and what topped it all of was the chance to try the full range of Glenlivets. The ultimate icing on the cake was the last glass...a glass (or two or three) of one of the most expensive Single Malts on the planet...The Cellar Collection circa 1972! Boys and girls...its $4000 bucks a bottle!!! Even Peter had not tried it yet! A truly exqusite night out on the town with a fantastic whiskey. Heavenly!

Of New Men and Birthdays and Green Fairies

There were a few parties me and Adeline had to attend that night and first was the New Man Party at BarNone! After hitting Borders...we rocked into BarNone and bumped into my old Scout junoir Guy Hoh who was now the editor of Wine & Dine Magazine! A way step up from our scouting days when we used to cook rice in some field somewhere in a kettle! It was quite a strange party....with only a free flow of beer OR Coke so after a few...we headed off to Hard Rock to celebrate my boy Jon Ong's 18th! We got there just after 8 and the party quickyl got started. I think we were two of the oldest folks in the room and it quickly filled up with his friends and even more gatecrashers! Overheard someone asking the bartender "Who's Jon???" when he asked to get a drink! Funny man! Well....Ade and me had our first shots of the real Absinthe and we actually was hoping to see the much famous "Green Fairy" but all we saw was a bunch of kids having a good time. Off we went to Q Bar...and then headed to check out the B-Yond party at Arts House. Caught Bobby in his new white Lambo...and then just hung out with Giorgio and Christopher Guy back in Q Bar knocking back ice waters! A cool nite out on the town indeed!

Shawn's Farewell!!!

Yup....it was time for my good buddy Shawn to head back to London so we took it on ourselves to have a little party for him! We started for dinner at the Famous Beef Hor Fun in Geylang Lor 9 with KC, Jessie and myself.....then we went off to watch soccer and shoot some pool at KC's house. Ee Wei came by and we then set ourselves up to head on to Members at Zouk. Of course we had buzzed the whole world to head on down and by the time we got there....things were jumpin! Of course all the girls turned up...Jamie, Stephanie, Cindy and even Nicole Kwan! It turned out to be a really cool night being sardined in the corner but we all had a good night out on the town. Nearly eveyone got quite buzzed by the end of the night so most of the boys and girls decided to head to Boon Tong Kee for Shawn's final decent chicken rice before heading to the city of rain and fog.....See you soon Bro!!!

FHM @ Thumper

FHM had decided to throw a big ole' party at Thumper and of course we were all in the house to give support and have a humping good time. Everyone turned up for this party...Royston, Sam, Conrad, Edwin and Benny, Gavin, Eng and Raymond, Simone hosted the party in a fantastic red little dress....June, Agnes, Yvonne and Sum Yee....even Boon put in an appearance..and of course the bubbly and vodka flowed freely! I was pretty buzzed by the end of the night (as was everyone else I guess from the pictures) and Ade, June, Royston and myself headed to Living Room for some strange reason! Man.....we sure had a good night on the town!!!
