SuLian @ Bellini Room

Once again it was a trip to the Bellini Room to catch SuLian take the stage and what a performance she gave! Singing light jazzy numbers to a more than appreciative crowd that had gathered, we really cheered her on! Raymond joined me before he headed off to Goa together with Ian who I had not seen since he got back..... and we were all prepared to make a great night out on the town! The company was totally brilliant and the entertainment was first class. Kelly at St James really made us all very comfortable and with the boys like Billy Yeong, Gordon...Dennis Foo and gang as well as Sulian's friends from STB such as Lynette and her husband, we had the start of a rockin' night. Brandon slipped in with a bunch of his friends....and soon the Mumm's was flowing and we were happily buzzed! Edward, Caroline and Gary Goh were smacked in the middle of a rather large bubbly war with Tattinger on one side and Moet on the other. It was quite unfortunate that Pierre from Moet had to spoil the mood with statements about my poor taste in bubbly that was said really without much class and just happened to be heard by a few too many peoplel!! He clearly had way too much Champers but I was totally amused to see that parked right next to his Dom was a nice bottle of Cordon Bleu! He may have poor manners but he certainly knows the right cognac to drink! Well....not one to let my night be ruined by the uncultured...off I headed to the Nest at Zouk to celebrate Jamie's birthday with the boys in full swing! More bubbly...and the start of a fantastic weekend!

FOIS 1st Anniversary

Christina Liang had invited us down for a little bubbly and bites (if only someone had told the caterer to heat up the food) at the FOIS Boutique at Centrepoint...and with Sulian being one of their guest models, we decided to make a trip of it! The clothes at the boutique were "interesting" to say the least...not something my dear Addie would be caught dead in at any time even if she did turn into a Tai Tai one day and of course we did bump into Franck again who as still suffering from a hang over from the Bellini Room party! I always wonder why models at these kinds of shows have models with HUGE hair! I always thought the psudo-afro's and puffy big hair-do's only work if you were some nightclub Mama San. Well....the lack of food and mood didn't make it into a all together big nite out on the town but there again...sometimes, early nights and good company are better!

Raymond Wei SHINE Launch!!!

Looks like its time for a quick update..and the start of quite a few post with the fantastic Bellini Room and The Gallery as the backdrop for quite a few events. After working quite a bit with the girls from Crystal Time who distribute Raymond Weil, they kindly invited me for the launch of SHINE, their new range of watches and it proved to be quite a bright event! With the cool classics of Jazz in the background...Franck, Feliza, Felicia, Ching Wyin and the rest of the girls around as well as my old friend Andrew, we had the start of quite a nite on the town! Oh! Yeah...and the watches were really cool...if you are a girl! Bumped into KC and some of the boys and so headed down to catch Boon and Co. at Members for a few! Somehow those few turned out to be quite a bunch as we happily went through tray after tray of shooters and BlowJobs! Karen Hoong had a drastic haircut and nearly didnt recognize her...Jeff and me were quite spiffy in our jackets, David Chin was in PINK again, Maddie made a guest appearance...and Sum Yee went home with quite a mouthfull of cream! How fun!

Insomnia

My nites out on the town has become ENDLESS NIGHTS! I just cannot get to sleep!
.....and it doesn't help that there is a good James Bond movie on nearly every night , I don't drink till I get smashed when I go out and there is a new baby screaming from some flat nearby!

What am I....A Romantic or a Realist! Go FIGURE!!!

You Are A Realist
When it comes to romance, you tend to take a realistic approach. You believe that love takes time, and it's something you have to work hard for. A bit cynical, over the top romance tends to get under your skin. Your heart is difficult to win ... but it's totally worth it.

Audi TT Coupe Launch.....

Audi had the launch of their new TT at Red Dot and of course, we were invited since George had owned one before and still had his A6! Deen was there and supprise supprise...the event was put together by my old friend Robert Seah! The car was quite cool and the specs and engine was quite interesting. We were all suitablly impressed with the new body but I kind of felt the interior needed a little tech update....no iDrive screen or GPS and no connection for your IPod! Oh well...the bubbly was in full flow and then off I went to catch my old friend Eugene who has open this cool little French Brasserie on Club Street. New...fantastic French Onion soup....and a small but funky company company with Johnny Tan, the boss...Eugene Ang....and even Luck from KL in the house!

It's Halloweeeeeeeen!

Whoops.....forgot to post the horror scene's from the Thumper Pirates Halloweeen Paradise party the "Not So Little Shop Of Horror's" Halloween Party at Velvet. Quite a number of people turned up in full costume to Thumper...and David and myself sure made a few heads turn...and everyone else made sure they had a ball of a time! It also happened to be Pierre Png's birthday so a big do was laid on for this Phua! We got Marcus to rap...the girls to roll...and the bubbly to POP!!! Kudos to the staff for making a fantastic effort to dress up the club into a true Pirates Den...and of course to the Running off to Zouk later....caught up with Victor, Rodney who got nailed for once in stead of nailing some hot chick, Don, and that hot rocking Jap superstar Lincoln San! For some strange reason, Rodney must have been feeling horny that nite cause he spent most of it trying to squeeze some "nurse's" boob....hope someone told him that it was our friendly neighbourhood server dressed up as a dental assistant! Ross from Gaelic Inn's was in effect with some of his friends...Superman and one of the hottest SQ babes I have seen in ages! Also thrown in was Daph from KL and nearly didnt recognize! Hooked up with Agatha in in her "Top Gun" outfit which suited my F1 get up quite well! Then it was off to Living Room for more water and to catch up with Ade and June before heading home. Well...it sure was fun while it lasted.....and another cool if not weird nite out on the town was happily put to bed.

Devils 5th Anniversary!

Ah! Its a Tuesday night and there we were enjoying a great party at Devils Bar! Can you imagine that Devils is 5 years old! And a happening 5 years old it was too! Jeff swung into the party with me and there we hung out with the booze boys! First it was with the boys from GF...Billy, Gordon and Julian and his lovely girlfriend Sulian..... then of course RicheMonde turned up represented by Milton...Dennis Foo joined us...and then things got really nuts! Throw my old friend Eric who was trying to be a pink angel....in and you can imagine how crazy the night got! Donald from Laurels dropped in and cracked open this huge bottle of Martell...and then trooped in brother Gavin, Eng and Raymond in his TUX!!! Imelda dropped in to say HI and so did Kelly and Andrew Ing from St James! Jake also dropped in and soon the party was really rockin'! Another magnum bottle was cracked open....and then the night took a intersting turn with us heading off to Shin bar in Boat Quay! Amazing to find one of my ex-floor staff from Modestoes, Guo Wei, who was now the bar supervisor of Shin! Looks like all the staff from my old club way back in 1998 has really made it good in the biz! What a nite out on the town! And believe it...after all those bottles...and all the company....I was sober! Remembering my condition, I made a serious effort to avoid drinks...(thank God for green tea) and of course my friends for understanding! Actually...its amazingly fun to be sober in a sea of wasted people....

Boon's Birthday

Its amazing how time flies....it just seems like yesterday that I was putting in one of my first ever entries on Boon's Birthday and here we are.....at that time of the year again. As usual, we d the party at Thumper on a nice Thursday night in the VIP room and of course we called around to invite good friends and partners to come hang with us! As expected, Boon arrived late but just before midnight! By then we had all gathered there....Jeff Goh, Daniel Ou, Patrick Ee, Thomas....even Sam Chia.....Simon Lim swung in eventually and so did David Chin who came down from Q Bar! Some of the models like Alexis, Paul Foster and Alla also turned up for the festivities as well as our local ex-Singapore Idol Taufik. George Lee swung by as well which made for a excellent nite out on the town. Of course we want to thank Eng for the Vodka as well as Sam and Thomas for footing for drinks! Next time lets hope Q Bar takes better care of their shareholders on their birthday though....
