The one about House.....

Okok... This is going to be another Suaku entry of mine. The plan was to meet up with Lydia, Lynn and her parentals for dinner before heading down to dempsey for drinks (Once again, thanks Uncle for a spendid dinner and the durian puffs!! BURP!!) As i have never been to House @ Dempsey before since the last time it was fully booked, Lydia decided to bring me there to check it out.

A little background on House @ Dempsey is that it used to be a military facility prior to this. It's official opening was at June 2007 and the two main areas are the Barracks Cafe and the Camp Bar. There also happens to be a Spa within the premises for those interested but be sure to check on the opening hours before heading down.

Turned out to be a really interesting experience indeed! The ambience was great and there was an extensive selection of Food and beverage available. Heres the thing, it wasn't just the average menu that you can find anywhere! Ranging from items like the six foot long bratwurst sausage to drinks like the Tiffin Punch (a awesome cocktail served in a Tingkat) It was indeed a eye opener for me! (I am suaku la... nvr been there b4)

Took a peep in the Camp bar area and they were spinning pretty awesome house music as well. It was a pity all of us were pretty tired to stick around too late but i am pretty sure i will be going there again soon!

The One about Cats....

Was asked by Jie a few months back whether would i be interested to catch 'CATS' the musical. I havent caught much of Andrew Loyd Webbers productions in my lifetime so i figured this would be as good a time as any.

Didn't exactly want to gatecrash the family outing of jie's alone so i decided to get Liza to join me for the musical as well. Turned out to be a little late than the time i was supposed to them as i came straight from my workout regime in the morning. As a Result the rest have already had there first round of drinks at 'Barossa' the restaurant at which we had out lunch.

The Play itself was pretty amazing! As it was the first time i am catching CATS at all (Nope... i didn't even watch it on TV). I was rather suprised that the play had realy very minimal dialouge, yes i do know it is a musical but still it was close to no dialouge at all. But that aside, there was lots of audience interaction and participation, great music and lots and lots of feline humour (pun intended).

Apart from Mr Mistofles, Another character that i was really amused by was Rum Tum Tuger who reminded me an awful lot of David Bowie! Be sure to catch it if you have the chance!

The one about Tampines One opening....

As many would have heard about the recent opening of Tampines One. The theme being 'Spring to Life' enticing everyone to spring out of the usual mundane lifestyle and into a world of fun and style! There were much activities in store and i was tasked to host the roadshow that was happening right outside the newly opened shopping complex.

Few of the different activities included games, Tampines 1 ambassadors dressed in green skirts and kangoo shoes were handing out fans and hyping up the atmosphere.There was also a Outdoor syncronised swimming performance... that was not done within a swimming pool... haha... for those who were there you will know what i mean... otherwise you would just have to rely on your imagination i guess..

Sometime in midst my gig i looked down to the basement and guess who i saw! it was Cash, Judy and Yan playing clockwork soldiers and french maids! Turned out to be a really amusing gig indeed!

The one about Butter factory 3rd Anniversary.....

Gotta catch up gotta catch up!!! Yup as mentioned in the title, it was Butter factorys 3rd Anniversary and it also happened to be the biggest event held there since it's move from robertson quay to One fullerton. As for the title of the party... it was called 'Thank F**k I'm Famous'

Heres the idea, everyone was supposed to attend the event dressed as a celebrity. This would mean this party will be filled with 'Stars'!! My orginal idea was to go as Ozzy Osbourne but ran into a little problem in trying to obtain a wig so I and Lydia therefore decided to go as Ted Mosby and Robin Sherbatsky from 'How I Met your Mother' Personally i don't think we were very convincing but it sure beats all the hassle of trying to find costumes!

The event itself was fantastic to say the least. Elsie, Celeste and gang was dressed as the Spice girls, Andrew was Ali G, there was a Borat and i was very sure i saw the members of K.I.S.S somewhere. Apart from that, there were also special performances by Dharni as well as a dance performance of the Wondergirls hit 'Nobody'

Turned out to be an Awesome night after all.... Can't wait to go butter again!

The one about Sexyback....

Okok.... before everyone starts wondering what the hell is with the title of this blog entry i am going to have to clarify that it has nothing to do with the Justin Timberlake song. It all began with Connie and Ellery organising a clubbing outing to Zouk. Turns out that i happened to be the only male lifeform within the group that was able to make it for the session and the games had just begun.

Connie and Ellery had decided to make it a 'Sexyback night'. How so? well to begin with it was mainly the choice of their clothing that mattered. It is going to take a lot of effort to be able to describe that as well as a vast imagination to be able to imagine that so i am going to save everyones trouble by just loading in some pictures.

Started the night with some light drinks at the Wine Bar followed by Jaggerbombs and beer in the mainroom. All this spelt out a recipe for immediate dancing and that was practically what we did! I also happened to be wearing the new Tqualizer Tshirt i boughta week before and would also ike to say it was a huge hit in the club! Thank you everyone for all the kind comments with regards to the Tee.

Left shortly after for butter factory to check out what it was like since after the renovation. Havent used my card for a while and this was as good a time as any. Bumped into Cash, Judy & Jackie there too! Carried on with more serious dancing and great company (Hi Esther and Regine!) before Cash got be pretty wasted with 2 shots of Bacardi 151s. First time i tried that drink and oooooh boy.........

It had been a great night!!!

The One about Ari's Birthday...

Okok... This is kind of an Embarassing... The Idea was to go with the entire S&M team to a nice Itallian restaurant located in Bukit Timah area for a nice lunch as a departmental outing as well as to celebrate Aris Birthday. But here is the thing, i TOTALLY forgot what is the name of the restaurant! Oh well.. guess i will just briefly describe the experience.

First up the ambience was really great, from the setting the lighting a some soft talian opera music. it really sets the mood for a good meal. Personally i felt that it would be a great place to bring ones other half for a nice romantic dinner but then again, lunch is great too!.

So what we did was to order a main dish each to share it among everyone, giving us a chance to try out almost anything. Risotto, Vongole pasta and i ordered lagsane as a personal favourite to try it out. Also not to be missed was the beef Carpaccio which tasted awesome. We were also given a nice Flaming chocolate desert as a treat! A fantastic experience that i thoroughly enjoyed and would like to go back again... haha..

The One about Heineken Green Room....

Recieved an invitation to the first Heineken Green room event of 2009. It was to be held at the F1 pitt building which was located near the Singapore flyer. After much pestering i managed to conveince Liza to attend the event with me so that was pretty much exactly what we did after after leaving the office.

The Drinking area was organised by the people of Zouk and even thought the main highlight of the evening is Heineken beer., but of course other beverages were being served as well. Spinning at the decks for the evening were DJ-Producer Sinden from the London and Australian duo Act Yo Age from the Sydney DJ scene. With that taken care of, i was getting ready for a fabulous evening.

It turned out to be a fantastic evening for me as i did bump into many familiar faces that i have not caught up with for a long time! Old Secondary school pals, Iris and Lyze who were working at the event too! Had lots of fun! Go Green!
