Em Studio....another BIG night OUT!

Yep....have barely recovered from the big boat party when time rolled around again to head to Em Studio for another of Bapak Roy's models night out. We had two special young ladies with us this time around celebrating their birthdays....and of course...after this very long week out of champagne and more champagne, I really should not have had such a big night out on the town but as usual, I am a glutton for punishment. Of course the usual suspectes turned up...Vik, Sophie, Jay, Giorgio.....and a whole host of hotties from Russia who's name I cannot remember. Then for some strange Giorgio and myself made our way to MoS for as a last stop.....must remember to slow down on nights like this but it sure was fun!!!

The FIRST Houseboat Party @ One15 Marina

Bapak Royston! You are the best Pak! As part of his ongoing endevours to bring joy and laughter to our lives...as well as a new partying experience, Roy had booked one of the special One15 Marina houseboats for a very private party for close friends! We had Sherri and one of her friends to help out serving drinks, Giorgio sponsoring loads of booze.....a nice private and quite little corner of the Marina....and of course great company! There was food and merriment aplenty though at one point of time we couldn't find the light switch to the fly deck. The booze sure flowed especially with my 3 litre Jeroboam of Tattinger Champagne! Of course we all ended up really quite trash! Edward turned up for a while, as did Sulian and Julian, Jay, Vik....and also made some new friends in Kimberly and Sophie! Of course some of the models eventually did turn up and who ended up having quite a party. Bepe from Il Lido turned up and there seemed to be a dispute between him and Giorgio for some reason which resulted in him chucking one of Giorgio's shoes overboard! Very strange these Italians. Luckily it was found floating near one of the docks! We really must do more of these boat parties...the location is so cool and unusual...and breezy....and all the girls get to come in bikini's! A very sexy nite out on the town (or the water as it would be in this case)! CHEERS!!!

BICE Opening!

The Italians are invading! BICE, one of the more iconic restaurants from their days at the Goodwood Park Hotel (where Thumper was...and will be once again) reopened at the Cannery under the guys from Life Brandz with a blast. Everyone who was anyone reasonablly important turned up...the people from STB, Ben from Carlsberg and Jake from Laurels, my old friends from Music & Movement days, Samad and Jennifer Lum.....even Giorgio and my old friend Marco was in the house! Was hanging out with MoMo and Dave Shamaney, Roberto (their GM there) and Eric Chan and we generally made a excellent night of it! Much to my supprise, I was alerted that my cousin Kelvin who I had met earlier had popped in with Boss and company for a moment! Supprise Supprise!!! Of course there were host of babes and caught up with the most SAX'y girl in town, Nickki!!! Well...of course we drank the restaurant dry by another nite out on the town! HICK!!! Way too much champagne in my system!!!

Kelly's Farewell from St James

Nites out on the town at St James will not be quite the same any more. Our beloved Kelly has decided to call it a day to persue other interest....i.e. Get A Life! Also a great chance to retire those black suits and indeed after working so long and hard.....day in and out, toiling to assist and support all us brats that come to patronise St James, she deserves a great sending off! Indeed, after Spiderman, Felicia and myself strolled over to St James for the big send off and it was indeed well attended! Nearly the whole team from MHD including Danny and Gordon, Giorgio, Raymond Oh, Edward Tan and Caroline Lam and of course her whole team from St James, Sharon King, Kiki and Andrew Ing.....and of course yours truly. What stated off as a mind web spinning night turned out to be a great sendoff indeed! Thank you Kelly, you have been great! Your support, your understanding....your grace... We wish you all the best and look forward to great times with you in the future!

Thanks GUNNERS!!!!

And the Premiership Champions are............Manchester United! All thanks to Arsenal and their draw! I know my cousin should be totally over the moon!!!

SpiderMan 3 Preview

Just a quick post and a big shout out to Felicia who kindly invited me as her date to the preview of Spiderman 3! I arrived reasonablly early as I noticed the weather was getting quite bad...and by 7.15.....it was pouring sheets of water down at Vivo City! Lucky we had arranged to meet a little earlier to go to the pre-show cocktail and grab a bite. Arriving at the theatre again a little early, we were quite shocked to see that security was really way tight! We all had to surrender all mobile phone's with built in camera's....and my precious digital camera which took quite a long time to sort out! The show itself was fantastic!!! I must say it was totally enjoyable...but not your standard slap bang exploding special effects bonanza! It had strange undertones....love and lost, family....and the importance of choices. I walked out in quite a strange mood.....not really all hyped up about the show but feeling quite satisfied that it was a excellent night out...but also with a strange sense of catharsis! Well...off we went to St James for Kelly's farewell party to continue a very busy night out on the town!

Arthur @ Q Bar

On the Boat Show, Arthur had invited us over on Monday to join him at Q Bar for a shoot that was being done by Discover's Channel's Travel and Living on Asia's Richest Men..so we were all drafted in as extra's! We dropped in at 6.30....just as the sun was going down...Royston and Jay had already landed with some friends...and the bubbly indeed started flowing for what we thought would be a excellent nite out on the town! Quite a number of the guys that turned up were either members of the marina already or Arthur's staff who turned up to support their boss...I had invited Renee, Trudi and her sister who was in town...Vik, Prakash, David Chin....6th bottle of Mumms champagne (effectively emptying our whole stock!!!) the party moved on to Vodka while I headed off to meet Godfather at Brix with David Chin in tow. More bubbly....and more catching up! In the end, David and me were starving so we headed over to Geylang (much to the raised eyebrow of the taxi driver) for Beef Kwey Teow for dinner before calling it a night......Man!!! This has been a LOOONG weekend!

Zouk Turns Sweet 16!!!!!

After a quick dinner in Mohd Sultan and a even quicker dash home to change from the Boat Show.....I started my night out on the town by going home....home to Zouk for their 16th Anniversary!!! Imagine that! Sweet 16 and still packing them in! Its truly a tribute to Lincoln as to his vision for the club. Well...Royston and Jay rocked in with their usual troup of blond beauties and after signing them in...we quickly made our way up to the Members Bar where we hi-jacked a table which later turned out to belong to Lincoln's partner and MD of Zouk KL....Anthony Wong! Lucky Anthony and me are old friends.....Hehehehe! Ian and company turned up in short effect and as Royston went off to his own party, George took over the table with I Chou and their entourage of China girls! What a change in nationality! The entertainment was huge with marching bands and cheerleaders...but for some strange reason, I didn't take many pictures! I wonder why...must have been drinking wine from 5 pm at the Boat Show! Also bumped into some friends from Zouk KL, Donovan Tho and his boss Cher! I had to rock downstairs to go grab Azam and his sisters to Velvet as the Zouk crowd was just turing nuts as expected. Azam didn't really stay long but then Charles and Ker Sheen turned up in short order....and then Ivan popped in! We tried to make our way back up to Members which by then was just out of control....and in the end....somehow decided to gain more space by running over to MoS to catch up with Bernard Lim and the other gang! Again...a big night!!! I must say there was ONE thing missing.......Victor!!! After so many years of his friendship and company here...it just seems strange that he was not part of the party!

Boat Show @ One15 Marina

After a big Friday night out on the town....it was quite interesting that I managed to wake up quite early on a Sat afternoon and with what seemed to be excellent weather....I was messaged Royston about heading over to the Boat Show before doing the Zouk 16th Anniversary Party later that night. One15 Marina is owned by one of our partners at Q Bar, Arthur Tay.....who hads previously taken us on a little private tour of the club. Its Singapore's premier marina and lifestyle destination located on Sentosa Cove and is the only marina in Asia designed to accept superyachts. As part of Arthur's commitment to the whole project, he bought a US$100 million Azimut 116 which is totally jaw dropping. I got there just as Royston and Jay were pulling up into the marina driveway...and off we went for a wonder around the show. As we went by Arthur's boat, the "Hye Seas"...he graciously invited us on to take a peek and....whoaaaa! Its a total knock out! It has cabin's for 10 guest (all with their own toilets!!!) and the master's awesome cabin. Crew quarters for 6....a full kitchen, dining room, living room, study.....its own speed boat and jet ski stored in the hull.....the list goes on! Its really a experience by itself sipping champagne and chilling out on board! Of course there were loads of other smaller boats around but this one totally stole the show....as you would expect with its price tag! Drinking champagne with Arthur, his brother TG and wife Samantha, John Wee who was also there...we then continued our wonderings as Royston contemplated his next purchase. We ended up the afternoon at the members cocktail with the rest of the boys such as Bobby H, Edward Tan as well as Prakash and David Chin who dropped in! Talk about experiencing a slice of the good life!
