Movie and Steamie day
Caught Valkyrie with Kaixin, Connie and bert. I found it quite a nice show..can't really go wrong with the storyline.. and i like Nazi, war stories kinda movies so yup, was pretty nice for me.

After the movie, we caught up with Ell and her BB at the Flea market @ St James before we left for.....Steamie! We went to this place at tiong bahru near Des's place which has a really nice quiet ambience about it. You know how it is with the usual steamboat places, noisy, hot, stuffy. That place is none of those. The food was nice and of cos, company was great too! :)

Valentine's
Didn't intended to celebrate this year's valentine. Flying off to bankok the next day also...but got a call from Dior who wanted to just meet and chill the afternoon away over coffee. Why not, since coffee always always works for me :). Met up in town, walked ard before we settled for bakerzin at paragon. We got ourselves seats by the glass windows, where we had our coffee and cakes while people watching. Had so much fun looking at all the couples, haha. After that we walked ard town, but the highlight of the day has to be when she decided to try on this really reavealing dress at far east.... I was like ' shit if she wears this to club, i'm going to be damn busy keeping guys away from her' lol, had many laughs that day..an afternoon well spent :)

CNY 2009~
Happy CNY to u all out there!! The time comes to gorge on the festive goodies, collect ang pows, catch up with friends and for the working, one last good break before the next holidays in the months ahead!

Every year, my big family(all 13 families!!) will gather and we will have a party to celebrate the occasion. This year is no exception. It's always good to see my cousins whom i rarely see, some studying overseas, some working overseas, so we always take this time to catch up. Of course, the day serves as an ang pow central collection point, which couldn't be any better ;)

After the day ended, i went over to Bert's place, where i was treated to more food haha, i could barely stuff myself. Of course, Bert and his parents were as hospitable as ever. Thanks for the food and drinks bro and for the wii too!

As it turns out, i went over to Bert's place again on Chu 5 again haha, this time to catch up with another group of friends. Great to see Lyndnn whom i've not seen for almost a year, as well as Shauna and the rest who were there.. had lots of fun playing bridge and simply seeing u guys!!!

Tattoo show
It's actually 7:30 am and i'm at work having only slept at 4 last night :( Here i am trying to blog my way overdue post hahax.

Singapore has her first ever Tattoo convention at Expo, and boy was it an eye opener! Went there with Daphne, Elyse and (the)Ting Ting and Bert. (pics stolen from Daph!)

Saw some really nice tattoos ard, really amazed me with the intricate details of some of the full body art.

Also got to catch a glimpse of Chris Garver, he seems like a really nice guy, but the queue to get his signature was sooooo long. Bert and Ting Ting persevered and got his siggie thou haa! gd job gd job. Singapore should definitely do this again, make me so tempted to get one myself, in time i will i guess :)

2009-01-19T16:43:00.003+08:00

Busy...
Haven't been able to blog recently, as I've been very caught up with work, with whatever time left I'd rather sleep it away. Will update soon... :)

2009-01-11T08:28:00.004+08:00

Trance Nightt!
Caught AVB at zouk with Daphne, Galvin, Jennifer, Joseph and Bert! Managed to beat the queue because of Daph, thank u ;) Really kinda looked forward to this one, since i haven't been to zouk for a very very long time too. It was a fantastic night of trance, although AVB didn't show up until 1am, but from then on, the whole dance floor simply went wild. Armin was damn cool, spinning and getting the crowd on with his trademark hand gestures, very cool.....just ask Bert, who was the only fella who got his autograph ok!! talk about perseverance getting through the sea of people to get to the spinning console lol. We chucked ourselves right beside the speakers, so we could feel the beats that was churning, felt really nice, thou after the night ended, we all got abit deaf ;p but i'm sure they all didn't mind!

See the speakers behind us...lol and AVB!!

2009-01-07T18:24:00.003+08:00

Fantastic day out!
Met up with Daphne, April, Bert and May for high tea at Lao Bei Jing at Plaza Singapura on saturday. Was good to see Daph and April who just came back from Taiwan and had lots of stories and pictures to share. Food there was not too bad, thou I still like my Ding Tai Feng!

Everybody else left in the evening, so I went to find Connie and Ellery before heading over to Sakae together for dinner with Valerie. Haven't had Sakae for ages, but the branch at Plaza Singapura ain't too bad. Food was rather fresh.

Have not seen Valerie since my birthday last year, so was good to catch up with her. Connie and Ellery, as usual, always great company. After dinner, we left and chilled abit at Central before we adjourned to Dbl O to parrrtay~

Jerraine(mambo screamer), Lester(the crazy) and James(birthday boy tahh!) also came by to join us to cap a wonderful night. Had lots of fun!! We should do this again, soon..!

Welcoming 2009 with a bang!
Ushered the new year with a bang this year at Pan Pacific hotel thanks to Alex and Jerraine. They got a room there and kindly invited us to crash, thanks ;) The view from the room was fantastic, overlooking the floating platform and of cos giving us a vantage point to catch the fireworks! It was a beautiful sight to behold, especially the finale moment, the intensity of the fireworks could be felt from where we were; it was breathtaking. The party wouldn't be complete without champagne and our own party fireworks and streamers and we had a great time messing up the room, lol!

the beautiful fireworks.....

Psychedelic streamers and group of us in the hotel room :)

As 2009 begins, i just want to say that i am really grateful for the past year. Grateful for the presence and support of my family. Grateful for the wonderful friends, u all know who u are..without u all, really, life would be quite boring. U guys rock and we will continue to rock on for 2009 k! Happy new year all :)

Xmas 2008!
This year's christmas for me has been wonderful, when it seemed nothing was planned, somehow it ended well :) Didn't really want to go cramming with people on the streets, so it was godsend when Joey invited us to crash her hotel suite with Guanghua and others, thanks Joey! There were lotsa of yummy food prepared by Joey and games played.

The great company and the winning twister team! haha

Jerraine also swung by to complete a great xmas eve party!

Attended another xmas party on boxing day at Denise's house this time, thanks for the invite mei! Was nice meeting up with the gang, always good to see u all ya ;) There were lots of food, and the most churios i've ever seen in my life, no kidding! one big tray of it! haha, it was night of great company and fun, although the girls KO-ed early after the jaggerbombing madness...

Food galore and the gang :) special mention to bess-dressed award winner Peiwen, and reindeer Pris haha

Secret santa me and my secret santa..thanks for the energetic sensation love box ah gracie! ;P

Movie and a little bit of randomness...
Caught the movie Ip Man with my bro recently at The Cathay. For all of you who don't know what the show is about, it isn't about internet protocol or anything, but a movie about the grandmaster of the famed Wing Chun martial arts. I must say I was jaw-dropped on a few of the fighting scenes in the show, it was freaking awesome, and Donnie yen simply rocks in action movies!

Apparently, there were a fair bit of controversies surrounding the movie, with some criticising it's authenticity and its unfair representation of Ip Man and others were quick to say that Wing Chun is not as powerful in reality as it was portrayed against other forms of martial arts in the movie. But what the hell, who cares right? In the show it was awesome! In a particular interview with the Wushu champion of China, when asked about Ip Man, he replied he did not even know who he was until the movie was made. That infuriated Wing Chun practitioners and they issued a challenge to him, loser to donate 500k to charity. Looks like the heat is on ;) I certainly look forward to it!

On a random note, I came across this banner which is quite funny, thought I'd share:

Howl at the moon!
Went to this bar called 'Howl at the moon' at Peranakan Place on friday. If you haven't been there, they have a very good band which will play songs on request. Mainly patronized by expats, i think we were one of the few table of locals that day, but hell i think we were the craziest! As one ang moh puts it, we were party animals! hahaha :P

It was an awesome night of dancing and drinking, there you can see the pianos and the band behind, as well as the table of expats behind us who were just as crazy!

Group shot with the girls who made the night come alive :)

At some point in the night, we turned the bar into a club. We started pulling people from other tables to dance with us and the staff were glad to shift the tables away to create a dance floor for us. And so, we partied the rest of the night away like that....

To top it off, i managed to take a picture with the cute waitress there as well haha :) Definitely will visit the place again sometime soon! Anyone that wants to go, lemme know k!

2008-12-17T07:18:00.007+08:00

Zooooouk Out! '08
This was something that i've looked forward to for a long time, and thanks to daphne, we got discounted tixs for it. Thank you! :) We all met at Vivo for an early dinner because we didn't want to hit the crowd going to sentosa.

We were given a lanyard and a lightstick upon entry, cool, but the first thing that caught our eyes as we went in was the freeflow of drinks from the singtel booth, next thing i know, we were faced with 15 shots, lol! what a way to start the night and a sign of things to come, haha.. We walked ard, checked out the different booths and 'dance floors' There was a mambo jumbo area, a live performance area as well as an electro/progressive trance area which was my fav!

We sat ourselves at the mambo jumbo area where we met eugene, got my legs buried in sand and played drinking games with a classical Galvin moment haha..We then headed over to the 42 below booth where we partied the rest of the night away on electro..yeah~

The girls and the live performance area...

Ellery, the lightband girl and rest of us at mambo jumbo..

The 42 Below booth with Cash and his gang :) and a group shot of us!

Day out @ IKEA
Haven't been to IKEA in ages, so when mum decided to have a room makeover, we decided it's furniture shopping for her and food for me! As usual IKEA's always packed, with people and interesting stuff to see. At the end of the day, I got myself a new chair! as well as some cushies to go along, We bought so much stuff we had to get an MPV cab to get home haa, but not before we popped by the restaurant for a fufilling wings and meatballs feast!

Chix wing feast and meatballs galore! woohoo!

2008-12-09T08:11:00.014+08:00

Karaoke + Ramen + Rebel
It was May's birthday last week and we planned a surprise for her, where she thought everybody couldn't make it and in the end one by one all popped up! Haa, hope u had a great time May, I know i did ahhaha - my long awaited karaoke session!

Met up with Lyddy, Gracie, Denise, Beckie, Sq, John, Lynn on sat for dinner at Liang Court. Went to this ramen place called Marutama Ramen which serves really nice ramen. It was so good it was starting to sell out when we arrived at 8pm, but luckily we got the last 7 bowls and we devoured it in record time, nobody was talking just the sound of slurping of the ramen hahaha!

Went for coffee (starbucks of course) after dinner where i left them to meet Bert and Edwina. Great to see u Ed :) We went to this charity event organised by ACS peeps held at Rebel. The theme was school party and there were girls clad in PE attire selling water bottles filled with alcohol all in the name of charity. Besides that, there were also free cotton candy and ice cream for everyone, cool!

Check out the water bottle she's holdin...totally old skool man!

2008-12-02T14:20:00.003+08:00

Madagascar
I finally caught Madagascar! haha. Watched it with Dior and Bert, thou for Bert it was his second time watching it. ..And u fell asleep bro! hahaha we saw it!! No pics bro, but we have an audio recording of your snore if u want..lol just kidding! The movie wasn't as good as the first one i felt, but nevertheless funny, added that Dior was sitting beside me and she was constantly tickled throughout the movie by small lil' animals, which made me laugh even more hahaha.

Catch it if u haven't!!

2008-12-02T14:05:00.008+08:00

987fm R.S.V.P & butter factory
Went to the 987fm R.S.V.P party for twilight. Didn't plan to go, but was convinced by Bert and Desiree in the end haha, turned out i enjoyed it! lol Met up with Pearlyn, Melissa, PJ as well, most of the peeps that came were dressed in black. We all got our fake fangs (with a plasticky taste) and vampire make-up to match the occasion. It was good fun, free flow, great music. Did i mentioned we also set a record for the most number or vampires indoors!? hahaha what a weird record, but hey i was part of it! haha..

After the event at the Arena, Bert and I scooted off to Butter factory to look for Lyddy, Gracie and Denise and we had a whole lot of fun! I don't go partying with u girls much, but i guess i should do it more often! Great company, great night.

2008-12-02T12:01:00.011+08:00

backlog of updates ..lol
So here it goes, i don't even quite remember the chronological order or everything that has happened, but heck, ahhaha. i'll keep it short!

Bellini Grande, Yellow Jello, Rebel:
Visited 3 new places in 1 night!! yay! Bellini Grande was impressive, they had a huge stage with an impressive set. It used to be at st james, now it has moved to Clark Quay. You have to see it to feel it. Really nice. Yellow Jello was cool, transforming from last-time candy bar to a more spacious retro bar with a live band was pretty neat. Chanced into Desiree who was doing a show for Heneiken earlier in the day who joined for beer and food, though the food took really long to arrive, at least it was good, so not that bad...lastly, Rebel, didn't stay for long but the place has also become more spacious, worth checking it out!

Zirca:
Ok, i really wanted to check Zirca out. One, because exams are over!! Two, i wanted to see how the place looks like after MOS is no more..Besides the lonnnng queue, it was actually quite cool. there were hanging metal corridor/platforms where dancers danced about as well as a kick ass plastic container that hanged over the main dance floor with water inside! At one segment, dancers were dancing inside. Cool!

42 below Silent Party:
Held at loof, this party was really interesting. Upon entry, each person was given a pair of headphones. There were 2 DJs spinning, one hip-hop, the other electro. We could switch to either one of the 2 channels at any time. So just imagine a club without music, and people bobbling their heads, gyrating to the music in the headphone, cool right! :) Besides the unique concept, there was also great company. Was good to see Lyddy, Gracie, Denise and Sq as well as Cash and gang who were working there.

Halloween:
Halloween o' halloween, i should probably have a separate post of this, because it was so happening this year haha. I decided to go as joker. Bert was my make-up artiste that day, spent almost an hour to get the looks right at a public restroom and boy was the effect amazing! Of cos, there were many peeps who came to party in wonderful costumes. May, Joey, Ban, Guang Hua, Daph, April, Gavin was the undead royal family. Alex and Jerraine was the weird genie(with a tail), samurai couple. Bert was the mad scientist, Huirong, school girl, Casse, snow white, Cash, as the devil....

..but the fun ends here...getting the make-up off was the sad part. I didn't want to wake my mum up for her make-up remover and she sees my face and faints. hhaha, so it was good o' rubbing and scrubbing...lol

Kanye West - Glow in the dark tour:
Had a blast watching Kanye West perform, was a great performance by him, the crowd was crazy. Fantastic! Saw a few familiar faces around too like Desiree and Melissa. Was a great night out!

2008-12-02T11:53:00.004+08:00

Started the day at Starbucks Rafflescity, a place which i frequent and have really grown to like alot. They have nice ambiance, nice sofas, nice baristas, nice drinks, nice everything! Where else better to start the day right? haha :P Bert dropped by in the late afternoon and we left for Central to meet Kuromi-sama for early dinner at Waraku.

Kuromi-sama not very happy with the very small dish haha..

Some nice group pictures before we left Kuromi to meet up with the gang at Partyworld Orchard. Really had a lot of fun singing, and Peiwen can really sing canto songs, nice! Thank you guys for celebrating my bday and thank you for the cake, the present, the card. Loved it!! thanks!
