F1 Hungary @ THUMPER

Another nite out on the town with the Ferrari Club and my fav sport, F1. This time the race had moved to Hungry and of course we had moved as well....to Thumper! The usual boys turned up, Royston, Tim, Arthur, Daniel and Karen with their baby, Edward, Rudy and Ismay. Eng and Alexis joined in as well with the Mumm's and off we were expecting a Ferrari win. Alas, it was not to be again with the remarkable talents of Lewis Hamilton leading from start to finish. This kid is really good! Of noteable mention was also the HUGE screen that Thumper had secured for us. It was from floor to ceiling and wit the audio hooked up to the house sound system, we sure had a fantastic view of the race. Of course the carpark looked real good with the Maserati's and Ferrari's parked there but I must say the one that really stole my imagination was a restored Ferrari Testarossa that Tim drove. Can you imagine that Tim has 3 Ferrari's??? Too bad he doesn't have a cute daughter for me to chase! Anyway....the Testarossa is one of my boyhood dream cars, a white one being featured in one of my all time fav TV show, Miami Vice. Tim as the exact same model here and is only one of 3 on the road. Woah!!! I LIKE!!! Must try to get a ride in one some day!

MoS.....a weird night out!

Oh yeah...got to blog this one. After a quick run around Clarke Quay doing even MORE promo for SINGfest, I ended up alone and in need of a drink in the Sky Lounge of MoS. Well...I sure didn't stay alone very long. Alvin Koh turned up with a few friends and of course we attacked the Chivas with gusto. Then one of the hottest bloggers I have always wanted to meet popped up! Dawn Yang! I have been kind of following her blog for quite a while...and yes...Alvin did the honors to introduce us and one of the first things I blurted out was that I was a fan! Man! Thats so uncool!!! Hahahaha! But she turned up to be very nice indeed. Her voice actually as nearly a musical quality and is very well spoken indeed! As the nite out on the town proceeded, Kimberly dropped in with some friends, Annaliese from Australia and a whole other bunch of girls who ended up having quite a good nite out on the town.

G Star ROCKS!

One of the hottest brands in town G Star had a big party down at The Paragon and my friend, John Ng who is their principal here had invited me to check out the party. So after a long day working on SINGfest...off I went for a quick one there before I headed off to do more promo for the concert. Was quite interesting but barely knew many people there as I really didn't have time to hang around. Daniel Boey was in charge of the show....and saw sneaky old Lawrence Leong from New Man......and then I had to make a quick run to continue my nites out on the town at Il Lido. Su Lian was spinning so of course had to go support! Julian and a whole bunch of the socialite scene was in support. Caught Natalie there who really caught the eye of Beppe.... and supprise supprise, it was my old friend Audrey and her husband! I have known Aud since we were 14 and never though anyone could win her heart (except me since I had the hots for her since forever!!!). As the party wound down, I headed off to Zouk to catch Shirley's birthday bash with Maddie and Shelia all in full action with Steven. Bumpped into Shawn as expected and as we were happily getting very smashed...quickly roped in Christabelle! Oh well.....it was a excellent nite out on the town indeed! HICK!!!

The Big Man's Birthday

Its the big man himself Vig and its his birthday! You can imagine how this big night out on the town is going to turn out for sure....with a major party! Well, after dinner at the Grand Copthorne, we all gathered at Velvet with all the boys. You can imagine all the boys were there and even more girls! Royston, Beppe, Ismay, Toshiko...the Germans.....and a whole bunch of other people I cannot quite remember. Even Shawn turned up. The booze of the night was Verve as expected and the booze sure flowed. I am pretty sure we polished off at least half a dozen bottles and some Chivas too boot. I am pretty certain there were more than a few headaches the day after! OUCH! But fun! I wonder who's birthday is it next.......

F1 Europe Nurburgring @ One15 Marina

This has sure been a great car weekend and another good nite out on the town. Not only did we have the Granturismo launch but now its time for Nurburgring! Arthur had asked me to arrange for the Ferrari Club to watch the race at his marina, One15, so of course I obliged! How to say no right??? Its a cool location with great company so as we all gathered to watch the race, we were quite pumped hoping that Ferrari would do us proud. As expected, all the boys were there, Arthur, Royston, Adrian and his pretty girlfriend, Bapak Jaacky See, Daniel Ou , Billy Yeong as well as Eng and Alexis. Even Rudy came with Howard and Maddie! The Mumm's sure flowed that night as we drowned our sorrows since Ferrari wasn't doing very well. Oh well.....if all else, at least we got the champagne to keep our spirits up!

A dream on wheels...the Maserati GrandeTurismo Launch

Whoops...forgot a very important entry...and thats the launch of a dream on wheels....the Maserati GrandTurismo launch at One15 Marina. Yes folks...this is really one of the most sexy cars on the road coming to you in about 10 months time. Heading out to the event, we caught up with most of the usual suspects there....Sulian and Julian, Giorgio, Rosemary and Caroline and Felicia....naturally Jaacky and Royston were there as well as every other VIP car lover in town. It was a HUGE night out on the town.....Ferraris and Maserati's everywhere! All I can say is you got to see what pics to understand the primal feeling this car evokes. Growl....oh yeah....I just cannot wait for this car to hit the road.

Butter Factory....

Another quick entry while doing my promotions for SINGfest....a quick trip to the Butter Factory with Bobby, Ritz and Celeste. Butter Factory is the coolest hip hop club this side of the Singapore River and its always a good night out there listening to the groovy tunes! The decor is really too cool! Who would have thought do make the dance floor look like a swimming pool and the tables out of BBQ pits! All together a big night out on the town at all times!!!

The King Moves On...All Hail Sharon King

Was a quick night out on the town to say farewell to an old friend and Director of Operations for St James, Sharon King. In full attendance were Gordon and Danny from MDH, Andrew and Daryl of course....and Dennis Foo himself! I have known Sharon from the days at China Jump when she used to climb on the bar tops to make lethal Waterfalls! Sharon is a true gem, a iron lady at operations, tough as nails but great fun to be with! We will miss you very much my dear Wazzie!

Timbre II's First Day!!!

16 July 2007 marks the start of a new birth for us down in Old Parliment House. Gone is Q Bar and now we have a new lease of life in our little establishment, Timbre II. To celebrate this new birth, Arthur had invited all the shareholders over to his yacht HySeas II at One15 Marina...so off we went, Frank, Howard, Scott, Thomas and myself to this floating palace. We had cocktails up on the flybridge and then at 10.00 pm, we moved down to Timbre II to visit the bar en-mass as its shareholders. Of course our great partners, the UBlues group, Edward, Karen and Danny were around to host us.....and in very short order even Steve popped in! Timbre II is very different from Q Bar....Timbre II is essentialy a chilled out bar with a great live duo and fantastic atmosphere. Well...lets all hope that this is the start of more than a few more fun nites out on the town there!!! CHEERS!
