Finally, time to update my blog…..and boy am I back dated. Too many parties and many nites on the town! I suppose the big one I don’t remember much of but was certain that I enjoyed was my birthday! Dinner was a fantastic buffet at Negara Hotel and followed by a night out at Thumper! How fun was that! My guest list was extensive….nearly 100 of my close friends and business associates…. Well…the Chivas flowed, the Champagne POPPED!!! and I got totally and utterly smashed….HICK!!! Special mention to the Raymond Koh and Alex Tang from Pernod Ricard for the Chivas 18 as well as Giorgio and Jumat for the jeroboam of Tattinger! Thank you all!

The Q Commences...12 and 13 July 2006!!!

Yes folks....my new home away from home officially opens this week...its gonna be a blast!!!

The Beautiful Game!!!

What a fantastic game! For a person who doesnt really watch soccer....I must say this World Cup has been both exciting and reasonablly profitable! Disappointed with Brazil......supprised by the French....and now happily in LOVE with the Italians! The AZZURRI march on! And finally Edwin, Kelvin and MYSELF all win on the same game! Now lets just hope my luck holds for Portugal and that they supprise everyone and take the CUP!

My Tribute to the World Cup!

Balls!!!!

15 Years of Zouk!!!!

YES! Believe it or not....what has become my second home over the years turns 15 and I have been there for all 15 years!!! Can you imagine...in this day and age...few marriages last this long! The theme was as a grand gala ball and as we entered...we had all of us had to do the red carpet walk with the wall of screaming fans (simulated by projectors and screens)...and a fantastic show that cost at least 50K which was done by Rizal! The decor itself was just fantastic! All in all...one of the best shows that I have EVER seen in a club! As usual, we had the normal crew of beautiful boys and girls and we all made an effort to dress up for this most special of occasions. Mag and Dominic, Edwin and Patrick...Adeline and myself...even Catherine and a whole host of us had one of the best nights out on the town in ages!

Zouk after Tiesto

Yes...off I went to excape the crowd at MoS and walked straight into a equally massive crowd in Zouk! Another nite out on the town goes on and on! Dol....Bryant...Edwin....Patrick crashing out...even Joe from TOSS were there! And if I can clearly remember...I even managed to go home sober!

Thumper Nites...as USUAL!!!

For obvious reasons known to my regular readers....(actually, I really wonder how many of those do I have????) Thumper has become more than home! For a moment, even the boys and girls from Zouk and Velvet noticed my absence and of course....I have been reminded to spread the joy and must try to make an effort to my normal happy home ground more often! But this post is about one of those unscheduled nites that turn out to be a real cool killer of a party! As usual...any nite out in Thumper turns out to be a big one! Ed was feeling in a good mood...and of course the girls from Thumper, Yvonne who does a fantastic job of managing the guest as well Ting Li who actually is a very accomplished young film maker cum door bitch joined Patrick and myself in our usual party spirit.... As the night went on, David was in full effect...of course with Britta and Stephanie...and of course there was way more booze around than healthy! Moet...Chivas....good company...what more does a good nite out need? Off we trooped to Living Room...and OUCH...Thanks to Marco, we did more than a few Jagermeisters and Vodkas! I really need a nite out on the town like this like I need a hole in the head!

Of Thumper Nites....and Random Nites in various Corners!

I really must try to organize and plan these nites out on the town better as well as get a more organized way to get my pictures up. Thumper has featured very regularly in my circuit and has become a firm staple of Edwin, Patrick and myself. Of couse some nites end up bigger than others but still we never fail to have a kick ass nite! One of the most prominent and beautiful couples in town...Julian Chee and Sulian Tan....and of course...we were up in Mt Faber at the very successful B-Yond Party! It was also the finale party to Fashion Week and Sulian's Birthday... Happy Birthday Hot Stuff!!!! Nites out on the town.....with all the boys and girls......Nigel, Rahidi, Jumato....Vanessa..... Patrick...Dol...the list of my friends out there goes on and ON!!

OF Triumph Lingerie Nites.... Farewell Parties and Cool Bikes!

Today was a real long day…..work has been interesting to say none the least…and of course…the nites out on the town was gonna get real interesting! It was the middle of the Singapore Fashion Week and with our association with Triumph….Edwin, myself and a couple of us were invited to the very exclusive black tie Lingerie Fashion Show that was the talk of the town down at the Tent @ Ngee Ann City…so off we went! Of course it gave me a good opportunity to get into my rarely used tux and there we were, with Patrick, Bryant, Prisca, Edwin, Mag, Janice and even Boon, David, Devesh……the list goes on! Julian and Sulian were in the house sipping champagne upstairs and one of the funniest moments was when the MC introduced the show and reminded everyone that there was not suppose to be any photography!!! Guess what dude…tell that to the 50 plus photographers that were crowded at the front of the stage and suddenly…the whole room erupted! Also….note to self….if you wanna give goodie bags….make sure it has something of worth in it instead of just a few vouchers…a few catalogues and a bottle of Diet Coke! Dinner was at a really cool Japanese restaurant in Cuppage Plaza…then off we went to Thumper to catch up with the rest of the Uber gang. It was Jessica’s last day with the company and of course it was a good excuse to throw a party! Also….there was a big Harley Party with the boys and their loud leather and chrome toys parked outside what has become my 3rd home….and all I can say was that we were BORN TO BE WILD!!! YAH!!!

Chris Wilson's Birthday

It was one of those nights that started in a fantastic way….and ended up in something that in a way I would have much preferred differently….. I have known Chris Wilson for nearly 10 years now. All the way from the late 90’s when one of my best friends in the world Daniel Reichman introduced us. Chris came from a banking background back in the States and had come gotten into town about the same dime as Dan. From night to night….Chris has been one of the most regular features in the clubbing scene in Singapore…from Attica to MoS, from Velvet to Km8…there he is with his ever ready smile, his remarkable Mandarin and his bevy of beautiful people…so you can imagine, when Chris throw’s a party…its going to be one of the most rocking nites out on the town! Off I trooped to get him a present in Tangs’ then down to another nightlife icon’s house. Johnny Tan up here in Holland Road. Walking into Johnny’s beautiful house, it was like slipping into Bali with the pool, the jacuzzi, the Balinese décor…and the nearly every party animal that was in town! The list of party luminaries reads like a who’s who of clubland….Johnny and his crowd of models, Huge Hoyes-Cock, David Chin, Sulian Tan, the mumtazz crowd with Robbie, Julian and more other beautiful people than I care to remember. Unfortunately…the rest of the night is something that I really want to forget…. Sigh!!!

FHM "GND".....MTV....and a huge headache!

How many fantastic parties can you squeeze into one nite out on the town? Quite a few apparently! Raymond had called and wanted to do Ministry because of the FHM “Girl Next Door” party at 7.00 p.m. so off there I was with the whole gang. Walking in with the boys and heading straight to the VIP section as arranged by my good friend Conrad from Mediacorp Publishing, the Chivas came straight out and we were poised for a big one! The girls paraded, the drinks flowed and next thing you knew, it was time for us to head to the next party! Running off straight to Loof for the post MTV Fashionably Loud which was co-sponsored by Mumm’s Champagne, we really sweated there! Thank God for the champers cause we really needed it in the heat! The show was supported by my friends from EXPO AV and featured the unusual step of projecting two 10K projectors against the office block next to Loof…and next thing you know…the models are parading from that office block window! COOL!!!! I was called in for a venue 3…a quick drink with some friends across the road at the Long Bar where the Moet flowed again freely…then finally….Raymond and company all decided to head en-mass to Velvet where I promptly lost memory! WHOOOPS! I did it again!
