The one about Johnnie Walker Jet Black Party....

Was invited to the Johnnie Walker Jet Black party courtesy of nadnut and this has got to be one of the best parties i have atended in the longest time. The event was held at One on the Bund and started pretty early so as to coincide with the big race. Upon reaching the location we were asked to sign our names on the wall before entering the place and being greeted by a smaller scaled model of team vodafone mercedes mclaren vehicle as driven by lewis hamilton. (the real one... Not the model car)

In to the event we go! It was fortunate that Darryl was here even earlier otherwise it would have beeen close to impossible to get a seat. Food and Drinks were all on the house on that day. As there were a couple of cocktails that was specially concocted for this event (Checkered Flag, Yellow Flag & Johnnie Sour) We decided to each go for one of it first. FLAG OFF!!!

The race began and we were all pretty excited how the outcome was going to be. The atmosphere was excellent as we checked out concoctions specially prepared by award winning mixologists featuring Singapores very own Aubrey Sim. There also happened to be a dessert bar which featured some of the most amazing pralines and other items. Special thanks to the ladies at the counter who were ever so patient when i and Edmund went on and on for unlimited helpings of chocolates.

Time flies when you are having fun and it wasnt long before the last lap of the race and as many would probably have known by now, Lewis Hamilton won the race. F1 fans took the moment to express thair joy (or not ) at the outcome while other like myself took the opportunity to look out for Nicole Sherzinger on TV.... lol

The race was over but the party aint! What carried on for the remainder of the evening was a night of fantastic music (Andrew T was spinning... awesome) even more finger food, more booze and of course the company of many friends. Some old, some new and some i havent seen in the longest time., But it doesnt matter! Till we meet again!

The one about Fresh Friday.......

Finally recovered from all the nonsense and decided to treat myself to a outing with friends. Met up first with Lyd, Grace, Becks and Nick for a nice dinner of extremely hot buffalo wings @ Seletar. I was spared the agony as i just recovered from my Gastritis (Phew!) Therefore managed to indulge in generous helpings of deep fried button Mushrooms and Clam Chowder. Awesome!

Head over to Supperclub for the Fresh Fridays party organised by Rachel. It also happened to me Ians birthday party which gave me the more reason to head down. Music was excellent and the company was great! Even bumped into Alex whom i met slightly over a year ago in a vodka drinking competition. Haha... To bad didnt get to make the Bday boy drink more.

Next stop was to meet the family at Lunar before heading down to Neverland. I think most of us was pretty high the particular night due to the neverending supply of drinks. As as if to compliment the evening. Many Kpop songs were played too! Which one? Hahaha... Geegeegeegee baby baby baby..........

The one about Judy's Birthday...

Just recovered from a Gastric infection well enough to attend Judys birthday but too bad that i still couldnt drink.. dammit.. The plan was to do a little bar hopping tioll we get Judy smashed so here we go!

The first stop was to China one located at clarke quay, it was more of a warm up session as the main reason we were there was to check out the promo event for 42 below vodka. Needless to say Judy was made to down a few shots of the 'Falling water' creation (which was mainly made up of 42BELOW Feijoa, Lemonade & 1 Cucumber slice) before topping it with the 'Waterfall' cocktail. Nice!

Second stop, off to Ratchada we go where the rest were waiting! there was tons of bottles during the night but suprisingly Judy managed to put up a pretty strong fight, turning tables on every single person that made her drink. It all concluded after the Birthday cake was pushed in when i topped it up with the Flaming Lambourghini Cocktail. What followed through the night was Judy that was Happilly Singing and Dancing! Woohooo!!

I had to leave shortly after so as to not further aggravate my gastric problem but i heard the night was filled with even more drama after that! Hahaha... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY!

The one about STGCC 2009....

Enjoyed myself thoroughly during last years Singapore toys, games and comics convention and i have been looking forward to this years for an entire year! Well, apart from that there are also many other reasons why i desperately wanted to attend this special event. First was the whole list of artists from the industry that made a appearance in this event. As expected there were long queues for their autographs and needless to say i was one of those queuing up.

One of the hall of famers happened to be Brian Bolland who inked 'Batman: The killing joke" many years ago. I actually rushed to get a deluxe copy of the above mentioned comic upon learning of his arrival many months ago! Kiasu la....

I believe it is many kids dream to be comic artists when they grow up. Unfortunately, living in south east asia makes it pretty difficult to actually make it big in the industry. One person, Tan Eng Huat managed to succeed though and it was also a blast being able to meet him here.

Was playing a board game named 'Ugly!Ugly!' a while back when i was at Minds cafe with Joey and May and imagine my suprise when i came across a whole series of dolls from the games in the Uglydolls booth! Decided to buy myself one and got it signed by one of the creators David Horvath as well.

Also a huge hit among all the attendees was the Tokidoki booth. Similar to last year most of the good items were sold out by the first day. I was fortunate enough to be able to grab a cap which also entitled me to a personalised on the spot sketch done by Mr Tokidoki Simone Legno himself!

There was also a cosplay competition and apparently Iris and Amanda booth took part in the Ultimate PLAY Babe competition. Javern and i decided to do our part and screamed our lungs out cheering for both of them. They won a NDS each! Proud of both of you girls!

There was also a Cosplay Competition that was on going and needless to say there were quite a number of characters that were being played this time round. Ranging from comic to anime and even movie characters. Some of them actually looked pretty convincing!

It was simply awesome knowing that there were so many artistial talents in the comics/ manga industry. and the conception that mangakas are usually Japanese is totally wrong! Camilla d'errico work in her comic series 'Tanpopo' is a serious work of art about a little girl with no emotions and i was lucky enough to get the last two copies on sale that day. She was sweet enough to do a personalised sketch for me too (And did i mention she was rather pretty?)

Special thanks to the dudes i met from Kamakiri (it means Praying mantis apparently) who spent most of their time doing crayon sketches next to the Devilrobots booth. Imagine my suprised when they handed me one of their sketches! Sweet!

The event was finally concluded with tickets to the asian premier screening of 'Green lantern: First Flight' which i won on the first day along with some comic books! Javern won some prizes too for attending the event in a Green Lantern Shirt. Anyway, heres ending this post witha picture of my spoils from the convention!

Overall it was a unforgetable even. Can't wait for STGCC 2010!!
