The one about Lady Gaga....

Once again... Very late post. Thanks to Daphne, i was able to attend the official launch of Singtel's new Amped service which enables subscribers to stream, download and share their favourite music at no additional charges. Apart from that, in conjunction to the launch it happened to be Lady Gaga's first showcase in singapore too!

Wasnt too sure initially on where the event would be at first, however once i reached Clarke quay the answer was pretty obvious by the long queue that stretched along singapore river outside the newly constructed dome on the field area opposite Riverside point. Managed to the shorter (slightly) queue thanks to the corporate invites.
The hosts for the event was none other than Dan and Young and i must say they did a terrific job in getting the crowd all excited with the games played during the event. Spinning on the Decks were also Paul T and Inquisitive who got the crowd going for the evening. As for Lady Gagas performance, She was Amazing!
Performing most of her hits she was everything a fan would have dreamt of. She even suprised the audience with a piano version of 'Poker face'! Too bad there wasnt any photo opportunities except for the lucky chosen ones..haha dammit... lol

The one about Peiwen's birthday, roti john and Nana....

And now from one birthday we shall move on to the next one! Peiwen had specially taken the trouble to book a private function room at her place complete with food and drinks and a pool table too! Met up early with lyd and the rest for the intention of doing some grocery shopping at Novena, upon which we ajourned to Peiwens house to the function room.

The room was quite nice! I was even able to hookup my ipod with the main speakers for some tunes! The rest of the evening was filled with Pizza, Pool (Peiwen even had her personal cue) and good old catching up! Lydia and Grace decided to bestow upon Peiz their good old 'chocolate kiss' as usual though.

Made my way to cream bistro after that to meet up with Jackie and Matthew before heading to KPO for drinks. KPO was located at somerset area and apart from serving some of the best whiskey as i know it, they serve some of the best Roti John as well!

Stayed at KPO while we waited for Cash and headed together to Nana for later plans. Nana was crowded as usual and we were rather lucky to be able to get a seat. Sharky and Dawn joined us after that too!

The one about Iris's birthday.....

Well it turns out that the next few months will be filled with the birthday celebrations of family and friends and this month was of no exception. Was invited by Iris for her birthday gathering held at Mono @ Dragonfly @ St james power station (haha... I always wanted to describe it like this) Specially took leave the next day too so as to avoid any hangovers of sorts during work.

Made my way down to Vivo city slightly earlier as i had to purchase a present for the birthday girl. Also to meet up with Mr Javern Kan whom finally decided to come out of hiding to join us ( *update* Javern has went into hiding again). As many would already know, i can never ressist a good karaoke session as long as my throat permits and this was as good a opportunity as any.

It was also really good to see Iris again as she had been caught up with a lot of work for the past few months. Was also introduced to some new friends (Hi Sharon! Hi Rachel!) it was really awesome to be able to know you girls. Was also great to catch up with some other familiar faces whom i have not seen in quite a while.

To summarize it was an evening of songs, booze, laughs and pals! Anyway while i am still on topic, would like to take this time to say 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS!!! You looked beautiful as always!'

The one about Burger Quest - Bellini Grande Edition

Ok, so after a temporary halt in our plans for the liberation of magnificent burgers, here i am again in my pursuit of the ultimate burger. Now this time we decided to invade the Bellini Grande that is located within Clarke Quay.

Even though i have not heard much about it beforehand but the words 'Wagyu beef' was enough to get me interested. Connie and i decided to order a serving of the mini burgers to give it shot. When the mini burgers arrived, i was very suprised to see that it was incredibly....... Well.... Mini! But it did look really appetizing.

Served together with home made potato chip, garnished with some greens i won't exactly say it was a meal now but it did serve as a most terrific snack! The combination of the Wagyu beef that melts in your mouth and deep fried buns that was crispy to the last bit was simply divine so this is definately a must try!

The One about FHM GND 2009 & Butter fact with the girls....

Met up with Lydia to attend the annual FHM girl next door competition. Time seriously flies! it seemed just like recently where i was at St james together with Iris and gang for the exact purpose.. Well, turns out that this year there are a couple of changes as compared to how the event was like the last year.

Firstly it was sponsored by Barcardi which basically meant free flow of rum throughout the night instead of the sponsorship of beer. Secondly there was only one half of th muttons hosting the event.. Yup turns out that Vernon was the only one takin charge this year but he was doing a great job as usual. Programme was pretty much the same as every year except that this time there was larger emphasis in the fashion show catwalk segments.. Ok... So at least it is not a bobby contest (pun intended) this year.

Bumped into some familiar faces as usual and Mandy (last years GND winner) happened to be there too the pass on the crown to the winner. As everyone would have already known by now, Celestina won the crown. Didn't really stayed long after that as me and lyd had to rush off to butter factory for our follow up plans for the evening and which will bring us to a second chapter of this post.

It was decided close to a week ago by my three fave drinking 'sisters' (Liza, Carene and Jessa) that they wanted to check out the newly reopened butter factory. So special thanks to Elsie we managed to secure a nice cozy table in the VIP area of fash.

Grace and SQ decided to join us too but i have to admit i was a little taken aback by the entourage that accompanied one of our friends.. Haha.. You girls popular la. With Adrian spinning at the decks that night all it took was a few more bottles of whiskey and brandy and let the party begin! In fact we did had so much fun that we even lost track of the time!
As they left early, Liza, Jessa and Carene assured me that we would have another outing soon! ON AH!!! Quick ya? Lol
