The one about Singapore Tattoo Show...

Right after a whole night of partying at Zouk with AVB Live in Singapore, decided to meet up with Daphne and Jav to attend the 1st Singapore Tattoo show held at Singapore Expo. Was rathe excited to check it out as it was the first time such an event was held here and moreover there would be a guest appearance by Chris Garver of Miami Ink!

Spnt the day checking out all the different booths and various designs before heading to the queue at the Miami ink booth to get the autograph by Chris Garver himself. It was a pretty long wait and i had to put up with people treating me like a human gantry asking to pass through the queue, but the trance music that the DJ was spinning made the wait much more pleasurable. And besides, It was Chris Garver! Well worth the wait la...

Finally managed to get my poster autographed and got a picture taken with him before heading to the merchadise booth to grab a Tshirt and the show booklet. This being a first experience for me made me seriously contemplate on getting a tatt myself. Am thinking on getting a shark..... but let me just sit on it for a while.

Had dinner at the Chicken Rice Shop located at Vivo City before heading to Powerhouse to chill with some friends! Well, in general, it is a great day and a even better weekend so to speak!

The one about Armin Live in Singapore!

Had dinner at the hotel once again with Lora, Daphne Galvin and Jenn for a while before heading down to Zouk to join in the long queue with Javern coz Armin Van Buuren in in town for his 'A State of Trance tour' baby!

The queue was indeed very long by the time we got there but my hats off to the security personell on duty that day who managed to keep things under control and sucessfully prevented people from cutting the queue (Well... mostly at least). Bumped into Chermaine at the qeue but was shooed off by the security as they though we were cutting the queue.... lol

Daphne Joined us shortly after her diner and managed to get us in through the priority entrance! The first thing we did was to find a appropriate corner to park ourselves before filling up the area with drinks. The opening DJ was alright i guess but it wasn't long before Zouk was filled with shouts of 'ARMIN! ARMIN! ARMIN!' and anticipation of his arrival. And just as it was well worth the wait, Armin's set finally begun at 1am.

The music was great, the crowd was wild and drinks was plenty. It took me close to an hour and a half to slowly squeeze my way to the front but i did it anyway and got Armin to autograph my CD for me! Spent the rest of the evening/morning shuffling to the music.haha Come back soon pls Armin!

The one about Jewel box...

Met up with Chermaine and Heloise at the hotel for dinner. Hel was having a bad day la, so wanted to cheer her up. Food was great as usual, and we decided to go to a place to chill after dinner.

Met up with Cherm and Hel's friend Jackie who happened to be around the corner. After a short brainstorming session on where we should go to chill, Jackie suggested that we check out the Jewel Box as it had one of the coolest toilets there! (I had a funky tummy you see) And as it turned out, it did had the COOLEST washroom i have ever seen! complete with an aquarium and a couch! lol...

As it was still within the 12 days of christmas there was also a Snow show and cover charge is inclusive or a cable car ride all the way to Sentosa and back which we experienced before heading to the bar area for drinks. Ambience was excellent, Service was great and of course the quality of food was fantastic as well. will definately check it out again!

The one about Goodbye Robertson!

Decided to drop by butter factory to what was supposed to be the last weekend where butter factory is still going to be at Robertson Quay, part of the 'Goodbye Robertson, Hello Fullerton campaign' and since i still had a bottle of vodka left from the previous Absolute Masquerade party i thought i might as well make a trip there. But who should i bump into while making my way there but none other that Chung! Haha It has been a long while sweets! Managed to catch up over a drink at the Highlander and me spending half the time being fascinated over the dish she ordered for a snack... lol it was really nice seein ya again babe. Nownow... back to Butter Factory.

Music was fantastic that particularly i had to say! Both at the Art Bar as well as the main dance area. Bumped into Lester who happened to be coming to butter along with his friends as well and invited then to join us at our table, this as a result multiplied the amount of alchohol on our table threefold! Thank god i am excused from drinking too much!

Turned out to be a a rather busy night as i was running both between the Mum Champagne VIP area and the Art Bar. But nevertheless has a wonderful evening catching up with friends and meeting new ones as well!

The One about NYE 2008.....

Only 10 more posts to my 500th post! Hahaha... Anyway just as i was having doubts about how to celebrate to coming new year this time, recieved an invitation from Jerraine and Alex to their room located at PanPacific Hotel for a casual gathering/celebration as well as to see the Fireworks at Marina Bay.

Met up with Javern, Jerraine at City hall before heading to the Hotel together. Made a stop at the City Link 7-11 to buy 3 cans of Asahi Beer specially for Crystal first before heading straight to the hotel. Proceeded to the Rooms shortly to chillout over drinks, Television , Fireworks and the highlight of the evening..... NINTENDO Wii!!!! hahaha... Thanks to Alex and Jerraine i think i got pretty hooked onto the system! I think the first thing i am gonna do after getting the my new TV is to get a Wii myself!
Crystal joined us for the countdown as well and i have to say that the view for the fireworks was really awesome! It was the first time i actually saw so much life in the city after midnight. Was rather suprised that the secuirt went door to door knocking in each room after dark to check on everyone though.... hahaha were we that noisy? Lol...

Left the hotel with Javern after that to Gluttons Square for Chicken Wings before calling for a cab home. To summarize.. i would like to say it has been a great NYE 2008!

The One about the Absolute Masquerade...

Was Emceeing a wedding for Karen (An Old friend) at Velocity Tung Lok restaurant. Was initially a little worried if i would be able to deliver as i was having a slight fever and runny nose, Thank goodness Panadol Prevailed at the end! lol... finished off the gig asap and headed down to Butter Factory to met up with Javern for the Absolute Vodka Masquerade event.

It turned out to be a rather interesting party! As the name of the theme 'Masquerade' says it all, there were many people dressed in outfit to suit the theme. There were also other stuffs to take note such as the bottles of Vodka were presented in a cover that resembled a Ladies Dress, found it to be rather artistic. To add on to the fun, Martinis were served in Champagne flutes and Cocktails were served in Martini glasses. A very interesting Implementation!

Heloise and Vince joined us shortly after. It has seroiously been a while since i saw the both of them! Well... more so for Vince coz it has been close to 3 years since i saw him. Andrew popped by too to prevent me from leaving early! hahahaha.........

The One about Boxing Day....

It was Boxing day and the plan was to have a potluck Xmas celebration at Denise's place with friends. Spent quite sometime thinking what am i supposed to contribute for the evening and a Episode of 'Friends' inspired me to come up with Jello shots. Well, As it turned out the Jello Shots was quite a success! Would definately make it again for house parties.

The Food as contributed by everyone was amazing! There was a whole lot of Churros, there was Tom Yum fried beehoon that tasted awesome as well as lots more. Topped it up with a Ice Cream Log Cake before everyone decided to start off with the Jagger Bomb session.... BOMBS AWAY!

As soon as we were done with that, began the Gift Exchange between everyone and their Secret Santas! Mine happened to be Beckie (Loved the Pen girl!!!) Thank you everyone for all the presents and candy! Decided to start with a game of Twister after that, Lets just say that Alchohol + Twister = Chaos!!!! Merry Xmas!
