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!
