The One about Christmas....

It was Christmas eve and i was originally intending to spend the evening with a good dinner with my family before heading down to a bar for some standard wings and beer while counting down to the much anticipated day itself. However, as i was requested to be the designated Hotel Santa Clause for the day some adjustments had to be made to my original plans.

Invited my Dad, Mum and Bro over to Tien Court for a great Xmas eve dinner! A little pricey, but i figured since i was unable to have Xmas eve dinner with them i reckoned the next best thing was to keep them in close proximity during the dinner period! So as my family were having their xmas dinner, i decided to go around the entire hotel 'Hohoho~ing' away and terorizing the rest of my collegues (That inclues you Tara! and thanks for the chicken wings!). It was happy and nice to see all the happy faces around.

Gatecrashed Joey's Xmas party that was also held in my hotel after that and special credit to Joey who managed the decorations in the place all by herself! There was lots of food and drinks to go around that evening and not to mention the Special pasta made by Joey and the party packs that was sponsored by Daphne!

Spent the remaining of the evening playing Twister and other games with everyone (Never knew that it could actually be that tiring. And of course followed by the Xmas countdown followed by the gift exchange session! Recieved a lot of col gifts that i am thankful for from everyone so i would like to take this opportunity to Thank everyone for them! Merry Xmas!

The one about a Howling happy hour!!!

Recieved a call from Connie a week before the event that she was the lucky winner of the private happy hour party that was held at Howl atg the moon! It was also very sweet of Connie for the invitation to the event. Had a prior engagement before the party so headed down as soon as i could.

As usual the atmosphere and energy in the place never fails to amuse and entertain me. Whats more was that this time we actually managed to pull off a prank on Connie herself! Lets just say we changed the quote of the day to something more interesting that got her called up on stage!

With all the alchohol that was consumed that day, It was only a matter of time where everyone started to bring the dancing on to the stage. Special mention to Connie and Ellery who were the dancing queens of the night! As for the new frieds we met that night (Pat, Kate) Hope to meet up with you guys again soon!

The one about Zoukout!!!

Have been looking to this event for almost the entire year! Yes it is none other than Zoukout! Managed to purchase Zoukout passes at discounted rates thanks to Daphne (thanks babe!) Met up with everyone early before making our way to Sentosa and taking a slow walk along the beach to the Zoukout party area.

As it was the first Zoukout for many of us, we decided to do a little exploring at the whole area. It was filled with many awesome booths to be checked out! I managed to get a Zoukout T-Shirt for myself in the process too! Decided to check out the musical area after that and it was filled with performances from many different artists (Nouvelle Vague, Electrico) as well as music of many different Genres (Electro, Hip Hop, Retro) There was something for all and everyone was dancing the night away!

Managed to get outselves access to the Heineken, Chivas, 42 Below & Singtel VIP tentages as well though it really isn't something to be really proud of, but it definately helped to spice up the entire party! Singtel for providing the 2 hours free flow and 42 below for having the most happening booth in the whole area with dancers, caricature artists and more!

Danced all the way till 3am before DJ Sasha started his set for the night. It was a pity that we did not manage to stay till Above and Beyong started theirs though. But no matter! there will always be another time! Can;t wait for ZOUKOUT 2009!!!

The one about the C.H.A.I emporium launch....

Recieved an invite to the launch party of the CHAI Fashion Emporium located at the 1st floor of Liang Court and decided to attend it with Connie and Adeline. Now just a little introduction about it, CHAI actually stands for : cosmetics.home.apparel.intimates (It also happens to be the surname of the owner)

This all new fashion emporium is nothing like i have ever seen before! In fact i strongly believe that there is something for everyone right in that store. Ranging from items such as cosmetics by well known brands to even designer toys by the guys from Play Imaginative. Apart from that, the outlet is also connected to a Blush! lingerie boutique specially for the ladies.

The event was definately a blast in my books. Each person was given a goodie bag filled with items upon entry. Apart from that, they were also given a card which contained directions to certain booths for other freebies. I was a little lazy to collect the additional items so i headed straight to the refreshment area followed by some casual Shopping and the Fasion show.

Definately had a lot of fun during the event and it was also a great opportunity to catch up with some friends too! Once again, Special thanks to Shauna for the invite!

The one about Red, Blue and Gold

Met up with Edwina for a day of Shopping, Ktv and icecream before heading over to Rebel for an event that i have been looking forward to for quite a while already. It was the Red, Blue and Gold party that organised by a few members from the Acsian community. Thus, linked up with a few old friends (a.k.a Jeff, Chris & Max) to attend the event... Javern came too!

Quite suprisingly i was rather impressed with what the event had to offer! Popcorn and Candy Floss machines as well as Ice cream carts too! Needless to mention there were also many hotties selling Vodka ribena drinks in school waterbottles (haha... rather cute actually) All profits were donated to the M.I.L.K foundation. The Event ended with a auction of the Hotties! (both Male and Female) hahaha....

It was great catching up with old friends finding out what they had been up to upon graduation... rather nostalgic la.. But also it was a night of partying too! Great to me able to hang out with everyone again!

The one about Suprises....

Organised a Dinner/ KTV belated birthday celebration for May. The whole outing/celebration was planned under the context that it was going to be a casual dinner with Me and Jav only. What May didn't know was that i had a couple of suprises in store for her.

Suprise #1: When May arrived at the Dining place (Pasta de waraku) Francesca was there waiting with me and Javern! Soonly after, Jerraine appeared during our dinner as well! This was after Jerraine orginally informed May that she couldn't make it due to work committments of course.

Suprise #2: We finished our dinner and headed over to Kbox for a karaoke session were suprise #2 awaited May. This suprise was none other than Daphne and April who appeared for the party with a cake! (From Nydc some more... Wah... nice!) We had lotsa fun singing and dancing to some old tunes from the karaoke system while i concurrently awaited the arrival of the special guest (Suprise #3)

Suprise #3: This suprise arrived late because she was caught in a jam. And it was none other than Joey who was supposed to be in Hong kong at that period of time. May was pleasantly suprised of courseand i breathed a sigh of relieve. Hahaha... keeping secrets is tough work!

The one about Twilight...

Attended 987fms latest RSVP party thanks to invitation from Desiree! Decided to attend with Mellisia, Pearlyn, Jav and PJ. Was rather excited as this time the party was a tie in with the novel (and now movie) 'Twilight'.

The idea of the party was for everyone to dress in in black. Make up artists were there to make everyone more 'vampiric' and everyone were given a pair of fangs to put on as well! All this was done as 987fm was trying to organise an attempt to break a world record fo having the most people dressed as vampires in a single location on one night. It was pretty cool actually!

Seeing every dressed in the Emo/goth fashion was something that i have not checked out before. There were vampires of every style, enthnicity ad age too!! If there is ever a part 2 of this event, you can rest assured that i will be there. Head over to the butter factory after that to meet up ith Lyddie, Grace and Denise for a night of Dancing!

The one with the pretty Heineken girl....

Haha.... i was thinking of different possible titles for the particular entry and somehow i decided to settle with this one. Was supposed to link up with Javern first at CQ before meeting up with Cash to decided on a place to chill for the rest of the evening. As we had quite a lot of time to kill we decided to walk around the entire Clarke Quay area to check out the newly opened outlets.

As we were walking around, we came across a Xmas Greeting Billboard sponsored by Heineken! A really pretty girl came by and invited us to put up our own greeting by putting in pegs on the billboard. It was rather difficult as the pegs kept falling out but we managed to finish a word 'Beer!' in the end (The girl was really cute la... didn't wanna dissapoint her)

Decided to chill at Yello Jello after that (A new Retro Bar that took over the original location of Kandi Bar) and coincidentally bumped into Des who was attending the heineken event there as well! Had a couple of beers and checked out the Band which was very 'Archie' like if you know what i mean. We managed to stay till 12 b4 finally heading to Bellini Grande and Rebel to find Cash, Sam, Judy and Matt to party the night away.

The one about Zirca....

Recieved invites to the preview of Zirca (Previously MOS) courtesy of Javern. And as i havent been clubbing for quite a while already, decided it would probably be a good idea to check it out!

Linked up with Connie and gang at the entrance before proceeding in for the event. Bumped into Terrence and Shirlyn as well who took the opprtunity to introduced Shermin and Sharon who were also making their way into the Club.
The Ambience of the location was great! Imagine a fusion or MOS together with the likes of Atticca and Crazy horseand you will get Zirca. There were a couple of Dance and Percussion Performances as well a 'dance' item performed by two ladies in a suspended pool of water (you gotta see it to be able to understand la)

Overall it was a great event! Special thanks to Shermin who managed to squeeze into the crowd of people to get drinks for everyone!

The one about AFA 2008....

Have been hearing a lot of hype about the Anime Fest Asia 2008 (AFA 08) for the past few months and thought that it would be a great idea to check it out with my bro. haha..... bonding la... after all he likes anime too!

I didn't expect to actually go about this initially but my bro managed to convince me that it would be a swell idea to purchase the VIP passes for Ichirou Mizukis concert on the first day of the convention. I would not consider myself as a huge fan of his, but then again i do recall my childhood days when i was singing along to theme songs of cartoons like Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Mazinger Z. to I decided to make the purchase and go ahead with the experience.

The convention itself was quite a blast as well! It was everything i imagined it to be and much much more. Bought myself a couple of toys/gadgets (garden fairy, money chewing coin bank, art work reprints, posters) there were also quite a number of cosplayers during the event as well as toy displays that were real cool!

Apparently i wasn't the only person that was interested in all this coz boh me and bro bumped into quite a couple of familiar faces there as well, some working and others well...not working...

The concert for Ichirou Mizuki was simply fantastic! Aniki showcased his very best in terms of vocal quality as well as passion. What was even more cool was me and bro being selected for a autograph session from Aniki! Managed to get the autograph, a pic taken with him too.. I can't wait for the next!

The one about a Silent Disco...

Recieved an Invite to the first Silent disco that was to be held at Loof! Wasn't really sure of the concept of it all initialy but i was really motivated to go because firstly i have been wanting to check out loof for the longest time and secondly the concept of a silent disco party sounded pretty intriguing.

Met up with Denise, Graciepants, Qin, Jav and Lyddie to attend the event along and it was accompanied by a whole lot of fun! Upon entry each guest is loaned a pair of headphones (Which will be the source of your musical entertainment for the night) It looked pretty strange at first checking out people dancing without music at first, but as soon as the headphones were on, it soon became clear what everything was about.

The were two different genres of music for the night, Electro as well as Hip-Hop which was spinned by none other than Andrew T! Pretty cool to see all the familiar faces once again and i dare say that i am glad to be part of this event. Can't wait for the next one!

The one about ODM...

OMG.... i have seriously been lagging in the updating of my blog here...so i will try to cramp everything in 1 single post today. Firstly was the celebration of Lyddiepants birthday held at Swissotel merchant court managed to spend a awesome evening with the gang having pear flavoured vodka, snacks, sparkling Rose as well as a great game of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'. I was actually suprised that the game transpired so well! I actually really felt like Drew Carrey for a moment (Well i surely have the size for it)

Later in the week was invited by Connie to join her and Javernat Howl to the Moon (a comedy Club) Was pretty tired that particular day as i had to entertain a client till late. But as i already promised Connie, thought i should at least swing by for a short while. Turned out that i really liked the place! Fantastic music and awesome comedic routines caused me to stay glued to the seat! Will definately pay a visit there again soon.

Recieved an Invite for the ODM watch launch once again. Had lotsa fun in the previous watch launch held last year at fashion bar so i figured that it would be a good idea to pop by again. The event was really entertaining with Rachel and Alicia Pan as hosts for the evening. Thee was also a Dance performance by Studio Wu. Bumped into Justin and gang as well and Rachael too!

The one about Halloween....

When i was young, i was always very fascinated by the Halloween celebrations that took place overseas (Kids trick or treating... pumpkin carving... etc..) As i got older, it mainly became a day where i checked out other individuals in their costumes and very soon after that it mainly became myself dressing up as well.

Javern and i dressed up and went bar hoping last year (Hahaha.. Fish monster and Skeleton) This year we decided to go ahead with bar hopping again but this time we decided to put in much more effort in the costumes before heading to terrorize Thumper, Dbl O, O Bar and Butter Factory respectively. Spent close to an hour helping Javern with his make up, but i think it turned out pretty good!! Haha masterpiece!

Met up with a whole group of friends dressed up as different characters too! Lets see.... we had a Devil (Cash), Catholic Schoolgirl (Huirong), Qing Empress (Joey), Qing Prince (Guanghua), Qing Princess (May), Chinese Vampires (April and Daphne), French Maid (Bettina), Samurai (Jerraine), Genie (Alex), Mexican Wrestler (Don), Greek Goddess (Desiree) And so much more!!! Can't wait for next year!

The One about Kanye.....

Right after consecutive nights of clubbing over the weekend, came another exciting event! The Kanye West Glow In the Dark Concert! I was seriously just like how i pictured it would be and much more! Prior to the Starting of the concert was a beatboxing competition hosted by the Muttons as well as an opening segment by DJ Koflow and Beatboxer Dharni.

By the time Kanye came out, everyone was pretty much hyped up! But needless to say with Kanye around the energy level of the crowd never died down for a second during the concert. Definately had a blast! Haha... bumped into Mellissa during the concert too! You are missed sweets!

The One about Fearless females...

Decided to pop by the Fearless Fun Female party that was held at the Arena. It was hosted by Jean and had quite a number of fun acts during the show! There was Wet T-Shirt contests, Mud Wrestling, cat fights and well and pole dancing (First time seeing it being done in such an artistic way) just to name a few. Mark was performing with Don and Drew as well! As for Donzie... Well lets just say when he was singing 'Bouncy Bouncy Smack Smack' I didn't exactly expect him to take the 'Smack' Term so literally... hahaha (you had fun didn't you!)

Head over to Firefly (A New Cantopop Bar that took over the old premises of Bellini Room) at St James after that. Quite a cool place actually! Although i did actually feel a little too young in the crowd that was present, but it was still pretty nostalgic to sing along to the tunes of Bands like Beyond and Grasshoppers! haha...

Spent the next day at having a steamboat dinner with Javern and Desiree followed by Wine drinking at the cool wine shop at Tiong Bahru. Can'r reember the name of the place though.

After that we ajourned to Butter factory again where we played 5-10 with the King and Queen of the game! (Lol... Jerraine and Alex la) Bumped into Judy & Gang as well! Overall? aTiring but fun week. Woooo!
