Velvet turns 16!!!

Yep...Velvet turns sweet 16 and of course we had to make a presence there. George had secured a table with Chou and eventually we all turned up to soak in the atmosphere. All the boys were there with the exception of our dear old friend Victor Sujanani. Belle, Stephanie, Jerome, Jacq....and all the other boys. Shawn got so smashed it was quite funny!!! Was still very tired and recovering from SINGfest but none the less we had a ball of the time and as you would expect, a big nite out on the town in my home gound, Velvet!! Also managed to catch old friends Mike Kasem from my MTV days as well as Vernetta Lopez who is getting married to Wayne the pool hustler....all good...all old friends...all a big nite out!!!

SINGfest 2007 in Pictures..

Thats right.....it wasn't quite a nite out on the town but more like a whole week! SINGfest 07 finally starts after weeks of preparation and of course I was in the thick of things. For this festival, my job was to clear all the bands at the airport and get them on their way to the hotels as well as do all the other logistic work such as security, transport, promotions and marketing and all the other little bits and pieces. It was a mamoth undertaking.....16 bands.....and some of them were my all time fav's! Pet Shop Boys, Cindi Lauper, Sugar Ray, Shaggy, The Stranglers, Sasha Bach Band, Hinder, MXPX, Avenged Sevenfold, Gym Class Hero's, The Noisettes, Cobra Starship, Crowned Kings, One Buck Short and local boys Great Spy Experiment! My only complaint is that I only got to see a little of Shaggy's set and Gym Class Hero's set on the second day. But I got to spend great time with some of the fantastic artiste....dinner with Cindi Lauper at Il Lido, pictures with Shaggy, Pet Shop Boys, Mark McGraw...and all the other bands...it was a wild rocking ride with little or no sleep...not much food...but what a show! Kudos to the team, Michael, Mel, Peter, Sunder....and the girls, Adeline, Elaine, Natalyn who took on two bands, EV, Crystal and of course Claris. I do wonder why I subject myself to this sometimes but I doing this biz is like a drug. Once you hear the thousands of people screaming and rocking to the tunes, its a unbelieveable high! Oh well.....next stop...Black Eye Peas!

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!
