August Anniversary and then Il Lido....a long night indeed!

Well...its time for the party circuit to continue...and off we were to the August Anniversary Party at Red Dot. Mind you there was a Tatler party at Il Lido so people were running from one to another...but of course I had to drop into August cause of the Chivas connection. Was certainly a big night out with a good mix of old and new friends.....Leslie and Bryant, Alwyn, Ching Wyin, my cousin in law Gary, Frances Low and fellow socialites......and loads of Chivas. How does one chose when the bartender ask you "Sir, would you prefer Chivas 12 or 18?" Of course I happily helped myself to the excellent 18!!! It was quite a funny night that my goodie bag at the end of the night ended up with a mouse, some vouchers, a power cable for a laptop...and cheques for payment for the event!!! Very interesting indeed! Daniel was kind enough of offer us a lift up to Il Lido and there we bumped into Giorgio, SuLian, Julian and a whole load of fun! However the party seemed to be winding down by then...so we decided to call it a early night after our fair fill of Tattinger Rose and a more than satisfactory nite out on the town.....

Angela's Birthday!

Recently got to become friends with Angela and she has become someone I really do like alot! She has a character that is totally giving to her friends, caring, supportive and being strong...and yet as she faces a tough time within her own life, it shows she herself has so much courage and strength! A totally awesome young lady.......and someone who really knows how to have a big nite out on the town! Happy Birthday Angie (though this is a little late as usual!!!).

LUNAR's Opening

Another Canto club hits town by the nice lads from Life Brandz. Lunar takes the place of Clinic and it is indeed quite the club. The grand opening saw a gathering of the usual suspects as expected on a Tuesday night....all the lads from Pernod Ricard and their friends, Jake, Eng, Gavin...Franck turned up...even George and friends! Patrick Ee dropped in as did Giorgio, Michael Tadindo, Bhagman....20 red headed girls that dont quite speak English but all look totally alike! Well...after 2 bottles of 4.5 litres of Martel Cordon Bleu as well as loads of Chivas and more than a few bottles of Tattinger, it doesn't really matter right? Oh well....indeed a huge night out on the town yet again! Perhaps I need to learn Mandarin real soon to fully enjoy this new club.....NAH!....looks like its back to Timbre @ The Arts House, Velvet, Zouk Members and Sky Lounge for me....and of course, the new alternative....Thumper!

Ferrari's 200th F1 Grand Prix Win!

Yes...as we all look forward in anticipation for the next race in Brazil, Ferrari has made history AGAIN! 200 WINS! Thats right.....Scuderia Ferrari drivers have actually stood on the top step and and claimed the ultimate prize in motor racing. That is a historic achievement....and in that, I post pictures of a 1964 all the way to a sight of the magnificant marvel that it has now become. Forza Ferrari my friends! And of course....riding in one is always a big night out on ANY town!

Ferrari Club Charity Drive and our F1 Win at SPA

In conjunction with the DS Lee Charity Foundation, the Ferrari Owners Club got together for a good cause to have a charity drive this fantastic Sunday afternoon. The word went out and of course the club members heard the call to support a worthy cause. Alex, Charmaine and their team had arranged for a great Tulip course for us and 31 teams in everything from the newest Ferrari 599 to the Challenge Stradele.....Maserati Grande Sport Limited Edition (Edward's very own) to the Spyders and Quatroportte, Tim's very cool Testarosa to Franck's F430 Spyder rolled to support. Well, as you can imagine, the turn out was impressive, everyone from Seng Gee, the President Dr Ben, Rudy, Daniel and Karen......and just about every other familiar owner we knew. Royston had invited me to be his navigator on this course I was totally happy to do so. The course started at the Dempsey Road Car Park and after a course that took us from Commonwealth to Kent Ridge and then onwards to Mt Faber and finally to One15 Marina, the cars made a mad scramble. Some got lost, some missed the route markers, some headed straight to One15 for beers....and others ended doubling back here and there to complete the trail. I am indeed totally supprised that inspite of a few interesting road blocks and delays, Royston and myself reached One15 only to find no one else had reported in! Even Charmaine and her reception crew had not arrived and Roy even had time to go pray and break fast! Dinner followed with the kind support of Giorgio Ferrari and his wines and champagne as well as food from One15. After the cheque presentation, it was time to award the winner....and coming in 3rd was Seng Gee, second was TJ Tay and supprise supprise....Royston and myself had been declared the winner!! Overall a super (day) and nite out on the town with a cool trophy too boot!

And to top everything off....Ferrari came in first and second for the Spa Race!!! Talk about a great nite out on the town...I dont think it could get any better!

Chloe's Birthday

One of the sweetest 5 year old's that I know, Chloe, celebrated her 5th birthday witha real nice bash up at her place in Kembangan. Her Dad, Franck M. is a real good friend of mine and was kind enough to throw a fantastic party for the little princess! Lots of great food, fantastic wine and champagne as well as great company! Adrian, Royston, Michelle, Kris and Valerie were all there together with Agnes and her kids as well! It sure was a excellent night out on the town with the boys and this really pretty princess throwing a celebration with one of the coolest cakes I have seen! Oh...and I finally saw a Ferrari that I may actually be able to afford and not need a license to get on the road with! It may only have 2 wheels but as Adrian would testify, it sure goes! Happy Birthday sweet princess Chloe!!!

My Team at Timbre

Oh...also kind of forgot to update this entry....Looks like my team at Resorts World are quite the party animals! Was indeed quite fun to host them down at Timbre on the first week at my job. Shirly, Angie,Terence, our head of Legal and Corporate Affairs, Michale Chin who heads the projects team...even 3 of the engineers from Projects turned up. Man, those projects guys sure can drink! And so can Michael!!! We had quite a good time bonding and getting to know each other just a little better on this nite out on the town with my new collegues. Cheers guys!!!!

Thumpers Grand Opening Party

Finally, Thumper is officially opened and what a party it was. As expected, everyone that was anyone turned up to see the re-vamped club. Finally the biometric thumb printing system works....wirelessly, the new team is in place and working well. The food is going good...and the parties and promotions seem to be well underway. As you can imagine as with any event that has a free flow, we all had loads of fun! Boon and Satia were extatic that their baby was reborn. Also part of the celebrations were Sulian and Julian, George and Kimmy, Thea, Jake, Vincent and the Pernod Ricard team, Alwyn, Rosemarie and the boys.....all in all, a grand nite out on the town indeed! Congrats Thumper! I am sure I will be seeing alot more of you in the coming years!

Horomundi Pajama Party

After a really sad race, off we went to Bellini Room for the closing party of Tempus. Horomundi was throwing the closing event so of course we had to be there. I must say that these watch people really know how to party and have a big nite out on the town! There were a few familiar faces like Gary, Ching Wyin, Maxime....but the biggest supprise came when the owner of one of the biggest names in watchmaking, Richard Mille, jumped up on the bar counter in his shirt and BRIEFS only! Amazing!!! To wet our throats, we enjoyed some excellent Macallan 18 years (thanks to Marcus). All in all a excellent way to round up a rather sad night actually!
