The one about Ellery's Birthday.....

It was Ellery's birthday and i was supposd to meet everone for her celebration held at Pasir Ris followed by Drinks at Zouk. Thing was that i had to meet Rachael for dinner and i really wanted to pop by White bar to see Joey after that even though it was for a short while. So i informed that i could only make it for drinks at Zouk and immediately started by location hopping once again.

It was great to see Joey again as she was helping out at White Bar. Shawn was there to support as well. As i was running late, went out with Joey for a smoke before rushing down to Zouk. Zouk was packed s usual but it was great to see everyone there in full strength. Thank goodness Ellery was still pretty sober when i got there so i was still able to wish her a happy birthday. Javern, Me and Lester bought her a bottle each and got the party started.

Was Introduced to other cool ppl that night too like Ben, Gladys, Kaixin and just want to say it is great meeting you all! hahaha... Party animals...... Bumped into Lovynn as i was about to leave as well. So hee it is again.... HAPPY BDAY ELLERY!

The one about Valentines 2009

Time has passed and it seems like just yesterday where i was planning for Vday 2008. Felt just a little depressing after recalling what i had just 365 days ago, what happened after and whats happening right now. No matter... this is not the place for the rants that i have.

Due to everything that has happened though.... the thought of spending Vdae alone this year really got to my head... However, recieved a call that afternoon from Casse asking if i was free for dinner and since i had to go out to check on geting a new phone, i thought i might as well meet up with friends. Sure beats staying at home anyway.

Met up with Casse and a suprise appearance by Huirong and met a new friend Stephy too... had dinner at the Thai restaurant located at the 2nd floor before the rest had to head of for their dates respectively.

Head off to join Joey and the rest at Helipad after that for some drinks and i must really say that i was really happy to see her after so long... even though it was for a little while... Got some gifts fo everyone coz after all it is Valentines day before enjoying the rest of the night. Night meeting everyone!

The one about the night of 3 clubs....

Nope it wasn't exactly deliberate but i sorta accidentally promised to attend the below mentioned events that happened to be on the same day.
1) Drinks with Ah Sa and Jie
2) Butter Factories Last session of Butter Cookies at Robertson
3) Cash's Birthday at Dbl O
Tried to Wriggle my way out of 1) at first.. but felt bad la.... especiallywhen Ah Sa gave me the 'You bluff me!!' look and Jie started Pouting. And So we decided to head to Howl at the Moon for a night of Pizza (It was Awesome!), Beer, Chicken Wings and lotsa Laughs. Even at this stressful period it is great to see eveyone had a awesome night.

Next I rushed down to Butter factory To find Andrew for the last session of Butter cookies that is to be held at Robertson Quay. Coincidentally bumped into Terrence and Shirlyn as well! Was also Introduced to another fellow Liverpool Fan Vijay who should be heading to Anfield right about now for his well deserved tour! Good for ya mate! Following that it was plenty of great music, Wine and Great Company.

Rushed over to Dbl O after that to meet up with Cash for his birthday. Well apparently Cash and Rachel were both Working on that day too... although i still think of it as a ultimate ploy just to get cash down so that he can get drunk... haha... No matter. Jie and I actually got Cash a Present before hand. Inspired by his wearing of Bright Orange Coloured Socks, We got him a Zippo Lighter of the same Colour! Hahaha!!! Met up with Rachel, Advin, Jackie, Judy, Leslie, Matt, Chris and everyone else once again just like old times. It was also great to be introduced to some new ppl there.. (Was actually kinda smitten by one of them too...hmm)

Overall, It was a night of Fun and great Company. Till the next one!

The one about CNY House party pt 2...

And Back to Part 2 of the CNY celebations which i held on the 5th day of the New Year!

Once again i would really like to express my deepest thanks to everyone who attended the party! Initially i thought planning 2 parties was going to be quite a mistakes but after witnessing the turnout.. i was simply overwhelmed!

Food was simply amazing his time round, i myself actually had several helpings of the hong kong noodles! Javern was here once again with Lydia, Grace, CP, Denise, MR and Becky... Was supposed to Gamble with them but thank god i wriggled my way out of it! haha.... Switched on the Russel Peters DVD and played it Safe.

Many Other friends came as well and all of a sudden i was glad i took the liberty of making Cheese Nachos and Jello Shots to add on to the Catered food items. well..... I think my Nacho making skills still needs improvement but the Jello Shots Turned out Pretty Fine!

Spent the Rest of the Evening Playing the Wii (Which Shauna had fun with... hahaha) Bridge (Which Alex had fun with....) and of course regular Chit Chatting as well.. Once again would really want to thank all those that showed up on both days! Love you all!

The one about CNY House party pt 1...

Due to the fact that Chinese new year is on the begining of the week. I recieved mixed reactions from everyone on which day they could attend for the house party of mine so what the heck! We decided to hold 2 parties this year!

Firstly a big thanks to all Relatives and friends that came on the first day! Special mention to Jie who brought over a Pineapple pie from Carousel! Javer, Ellery and Connie for being one of the earliest to arrive, cuzzy dearest who managed to make it even though she was very tired, Dior who managed to make it after all.. and of course Cash, Judy, and Jacky who never failed to support whenever and wherever

Helped ourselves to some great food before, going ahead with some card games and all. Cash and Gang got a consultation from my Dad! And I finally managed to play 'Lu Xiao Yu' on piano properly thanks to Jie!!

The one about Pre CNY....

Had a pre CNY 'Lo Hei' Session/Celebration with the guys from my workplace as it was approaching the coming year of the Ox. As usual, bonding over a nice meal with everone is always a great idea (Plus there were loadsa free food so yum) It was also great to be able to gather around everyone and chuck the working stress aside for the moment.

Also met up with Lydia, Grace, Denise, SQ and Beckie to party at Dbl O after that. It has seriously been a while since i went there and it was nice to see some familiar faces there again. Chilled for a while at the New Art Lounge and realised they had a pretty good band too!

Went Back to the rest and bought Lyddie and Denise their first Flaming lambourginis... hahaha they enjoyed it!! woohoo!!!

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!

The One about Christmas....

It was Christmas eve and i was originally intending to spend the evening with a good dinner with my family before heading down to a bar for some standard wings and beer while counting down to the much anticipated day itself. However, as i was requested to be the designated Hotel Santa Clause for the day some adjustments had to be made to my original plans.
Invited my Dad, Mum and Bro over to Tien Court for a great Xmas eve dinner! A little pricey, but i figured since i was unable to have Xmas eve dinner with them i reckoned the next best thing was to keep them in close proximity during the dinner period! So as my family were having their xmas dinner, i decided to go around the entire hotel 'Hohoho~ing' away and terorizing the rest of my collegues (That inclues you Tara! and thanks for the chicken wings!). It was happy and nice to see all the happy faces around.
Gatecrashed Joey's Xmas party that was also held in my hotel after that and special credit to Joey who managed the decorations in the place all by herself! There was lots of food and drinks to go around that evening and not to mention the Special pasta made by Joey and the party packs that was sponsored by Daphne!
Spent the remaining of the evening playing Twister and other games with everyone (Never knew that it could actually be that tiring. And of course followed by the Xmas countdown followed by the gift exchange session! Recieved a lot of col gifts that i am thankful for from everyone so i would like to take this opportunity to Thank everyone for them! Merry Xmas!

The one about a Howling happy hour!!!

Recieved a call from Connie a week before the event that she was the lucky winner of the private happy hour party that was held at Howl atg the moon! It was also very sweet of Connie for the invitation to the event. Had a prior engagement before the party so headed down as soon as i could.

As usual the atmosphere and energy in the place never fails to amuse and entertain me. Whats more was that this time we actually managed to pull off a prank on Connie herself! Lets just say we changed the quote of the day to something more interesting that got her called up on stage!

With all the alchohol that was consumed that day, It was only a matter of time where everyone started to bring the dancing on to the stage. Special mention to Connie and Ellery who were the dancing queens of the night! As for the new frieds we met that night (Pat, Kate) Hope to meet up with you guys again soon!
