The One about Belvedere Beat...

Was invited to the The Belvedere BEAT party together with Jie. Wasn't really sure of what the event was about so i ended up being pretty stunned at how elaborate the set up of the event was.

Turns out that it's a huge party thrown by Belvedere Vodka in conjunction with Clarke Quay's anniversary. As such there was food and Entertainment sponsored by the different outlets all located within Clarke Quay itself. Drinks were on a freeflow basis courtesy of the guys from Belvedere Vodka of course. There are situations where you can tell that it is going to be a great event the moment you step in and this was one of them.

The party included parkour performances by Sydney's Parkour group and exhibitions of artwork by Momorobo (a Singaporean collective of graphic artists). There were also cocktails created specially for this occasion and they turned out pretty good!

Stayed longer than we orginall intended to at this event and i was pretty glad that i was invited. Food was Great, Entertainment was least to say Entertaining and of course not to mention bumping into common friends as well.

The one about Beckies Birthday...

The birthdays just keeps coming on and on and on and of this time it is Beckies special day! The stage was set and all the partners in crime were present. So here was what actually happened on the day.

Beckie have booked a room in Swissotel Merchant court and the idea was to have a casual celebration there. My task was to bring in some tunes so the Laptop it is! We had quite a blast in the hotel room trying to dance to the music before heading down to Sapporo Ramen for dinner. Here comes the tricky part, I and Lydia had to rush back to the hotel before the others so that we may get the cake and the lights out timing ready and correct for the birthday girl.

Turned out we got it right and it was a success! On came the music and everybody took their time to take pictures with the birthday girl. Upon which we all adjourned to Rebel for a longer night of partying! Till then! but before i take off from here.. Happy birthday Becks!

The one about Thai Disco....

Met up with Daphne and gang (Lyn, Tim, Lavina, her sis etc....) for a nights out after a long and taxing week. So heres the plan, to gather at Hard rock cafe for a nice dinner/drinks followed by listening to a set by the band 'Energy' followed by adjourning to the nearby Thai disco to check things out.

Turned out that i managed to grab a good friday dinner with parents at kuishinbo prior to that so by the time i actually reached HRC, i was already pretty stuffed. But i did grab a few cranberry juices there while appreciating the Rockin sounds of Energy! They were seriously awesome i tell you. Will definately have to drop by one of these days again to catch them in action. Paid a short visit to the merchandise store with daphne and managed to get myself a limited Bon Jovi HRC T-shirt. Managed to get Daphne a small furry gift too so in any case. It was Awesome!

Headed over to Bangkok Thai disco to check it out. Was rather suprised that the place was still pretty decent! The band performed quite a vast repetoir of songs and all of us was pretty amused and entertained by the end. Daphne even got a picture with the 'HEH' guitarist but i shall not reveal the picture here!

Perhaps we were there a bit too early thus the crowd wasn't too wild to say the least. Ended up taking the bottle of vodka we ordered home as we could finish it on the spot. But not before swinging by Orchard towers to take a look! How was it? Well..... lets just say i rather not go there for a while... cheers!

The one about April's Birthday....

It's Aprils birthday!!! And there were lots that was planned and also to execute. So here was the plan... It was off to bugis street with the rest for a nice steamboat dinner. It has been a while since all of us (May, daph, apes, joey, shaun, ben, jav, raine) managed to meet together for steamboat. Dinner was awesome except for the fact that it took a quite a while of waiting before we were given a table that was not big enough for all of us. But nevertheless we did not let that spoil our evening.

So here it was, lotsa food and drinks before i and raine escaped to Bugis junction Swensens to collect the Winnie the pooh Ice cream birthday cake for the birthday girl. It was quite funny as we were trying to suprise April with the cake but she was standing up the whole time when we were back! Still managed o sneakily set up the birthday cake eventually.

The night was still pretty young after dinner so we decided to head over for some drinks. Once again due to special invitation by Cash, we got ourselves a table at Arena for another 42 below party. There was a special performance by Cash and his Crew as well as a 'Manhunt' hosted by none other than comedian Kumar!

Other than that it was Drinks galore as well as great company and dances. Suprisingly everyone was pretty sloshed by the end of the evening with exceptio of the birthday girl. HAHA.... HAPPY BDAE APES!!

The one about Earth Hour......

Promised Daphne that i would attend the Earth hour event which Gold 90fm was the offical station for. Lights off timing was to be at 8pm all the way to 9pm while the concert will be ongoing. It was a mini carnival of sorts as there were many booths with various activities and not to mention special performances by different artistes!

Reverie(Resident band of M hotel) was performing there as well as Dawn Ho. Finaly i managed to get a copy of her CD! YAY!!! This event was organised by the WWF, so there was also a huge panda mascot that we managed to take a photo with. the lights off started promtly at 8pm and everyone enjoyed the night with candle lights.

Turned out that this was an event to remember. I am definately glad to be a part of it. Will be looking forward to next years Eartyh hour!

The One about Cyril Niccolai...

Okok.... apparently there is a huge amount of backlog on my blog so i am going to try to complete it by doing one post per day. Was invited by Daphne to attend Cyril Niccolai's showcase at Hard Rock cafe. Now while little may be known about this French Rock artiste, i coincidentally came across his work on the almighty YOUTUBE!!! haha.....

Lyn and Denise were there too and thus began a night of good food, drinks and excellent music! Turns out that someone actually donated a total of $5000 to the Boys home so as to bring Cyril back to singapore for another charity concert. and Even though he did not perform the song in particular that i liked. I still hafta admit that the performance was pretty impressive.

Special mention to the Crab Dip that Daphne ordered that evening. It was Fabulous!!! a definate must try if you are gonna dine at Hard Rock Cafe! We all stayed a while longer for 'Energy''s set (So that they can play lyn's favourite song) before heading to the merchandise store to check out Tshirts!

The one about Mambo & Sol Beer....

The plan was to meet up in the hotel with the gang for a quick dinner before making our way to Zouk for Mambo night! Turned out that Lester had an event at Zouk. It was a Sol Beer party! The thing is i have always wanted to attend a Sol event (have heard quite a bit about it previously) but never actualy had the opportunity to. This turned out to be a good opportunity as any!

To summarize how the event was, Beer, beer and more beer!! Haha... jus kidding coz there were other activities as well such as airbrush tattoos, drink ambassadors (that both came in the form of June and Cordy haha..... ) and moving golden greek god statues! But of course with all the excellent company and all it turned out to be a night of awesome fun! Headed over to Velvet to meet up with some of Ell and Bens friends who turned out to be fans of the 'How i met your Mother' Tv series as well! So there we go... instead of an Awesome night... it has just turned LEGENDARY!!!

The One about Mardi Gras Lah and Grace's Birthday...

It was a Saturday and the original plan was to meet up for Gracie Pants birthday which was a nice Japanese buffet dinner at Serene Centre followed by drinks. Was not able to make it for the first as i was hosting the Crazy Weekend Sales by C.H.A.I emporium located at Liang Court atrium. The event turned out to be pretty fun and I managed to catch up with an old friend (Farhan) too! He happened to be the manager for a shop that was dealing with faded Tshirts in Liang Court as well so be sure to check that out!

The Gig went on pretty well and all went on as planned. Thanks to Grace, i managed to recieve some invites to a stand up comedy that was held at the Belini Grande! This was all in conjunction with the 'Mardi Gras Lah' festival that was organised by Fly entertainment. The stand up comedy routines by Irene Ang, Jino and Loungezilla really cracked me up that night! The company was great too (Adlina, Leroy and Germaine).

Grace, Lydia and gang joined in for drinks at Bellini Grande after that and thar began a night of Dancing, great music and two bottles of Moet! couldn't stay late as i had a gig the next day as well but we surely had a lot of fun that night! Happy Birthday Grace!
