The one about Halloween 2009....

Its Halloween once again! Really amazed that how fast time flies as it seems like it has just been a while ago when i and a few other friends were racking our brains on what to go as for last year. That of course concluded in me becoming a Mad Scientist as well as assisting Javerns make-up as the Joker from the Batman franchise.


This year we decided to go much more simpler.... well, in some aspects at least. Instead of doing a manual bar hop, we decided to join the Dbl O party bus that brought us to a group of many different pubs! It was a pity that due to heavy rain, we were unable to go on to the open ait Hippo bus. But no matter! It was nonetheless just as fun as everyone was dressed to the occasion this year!


Came across the idea of this years costume when i was browsing on the net by chance. Was checking out costumes on the web when i saw a picture of Billy the puppet from the Saw movie series. Tried very hard to purchase it but it was not easy to find! So i ended up making my halloween costume from scratch this year. Is it any good? Well i guess thats for you to judge and not me.

Cash and the rest of the gang was awesomely dressed as usual coming as a group of school boys and girls from hell! Judy was seriously creepy to say the least! but we had fun helping to distribute lollipops to people as well as posing for pictures as well. Definately emmersed into the trick or treating spirit hopping from places like Balaclava all the way to the Hard rock cafe as well as Clarke Quay terrorizing the crowd.

Jerraine and Alex joined us during the later part of the evening too! Ys! We found each other!!! Cant wait for Halloween 2010!

The one about my gf's an agent.....

Just caught the Top Selling movie ' My Girlfriend is an Agent' and thought i might as well do a little review for it. Having being a fan of Korean pop culture, I always found it rather amazing how Korean movies managed to match up to the standards of HongKong movies in recent years and even Hollywood is some cases. This movie is of no exception. The gist of the story is as follows.

The Lead actress Soo-ji is a government agent disguised as a travel agent who can’t reveal her career to her boyfriend Jae-joon. Unable to cope with her lies, her boyfriend breaks up with her and leaves without notice. Three years later, while chasing an industrial spy in disguise as a cleaning lady, she happens to run into Jae-joon. He is now a international accountant, or is he?
Somewhat this movie really reminds me of 'Mr & Mrs Smith' complete with all the thrills and spills and also with a more lighthearted feel due to all the comedic elements included in this movie. True, the plot is somewhat predictable but you weren't exactly expecting an international thriller full of plots and twists now ya?
To conclude, I would say it is a movie definately worth watching especially if you are looking for a good laugh during this rainy season. And Oh Yeah...... just to brag a bit, I managed to catch the lead actor and actress Kang Ji Hwan & Kim Ha Neul during their promo stint at the Heeren too! Big Whoop!

The one about Pagebreak.......

As many who frequent Dbl O or PRB would have already know, Pagebreak is one of the most well loved resident bands performing there and as fate would have it i was graciously invited to their 2nd anniversary performing at PRB!

This time however, the event was proudly sponsored by Carlsberg and Converse as well. The combination of beer, great music , great company and other goodies from Converse definately made it an absolute blast. There was of course a mini display showcase of some of the limited edition converse products in the small boutique just outside Dbl O..... Really tempting!!!! but way out of my budget... HAHAHA.....

The Dbl O party crew was of course there too entertaining everyone ith their smooth dance moves and of course taking pictures for everyone. Special thanks to Cash, Shark, Dawn and Amy for ensuring the party levels were kept way up high!

Overall i had lots of fun! but i fell down at one point la..... embarassing story to be told another day... lol

The One about Oktoberfest 2009.....

Was asked by Lydia earlier during the week on whether i would be keen to go for Oktoberfest this year proudly organised by Erdinger & Timbre Mobile located at East Coast Park. Even though i was currently on a diet (and Savings) plan, the temptation for cheap beer and good food was simply too great! So decided to go for the 'Eat now, Think later' mentality.

When we reached i realised that everyone else must have had the exact idea too as it was pcked with people! Thank god for the table reservation made were we able to secure a place. Bumped into quite a number of friends that i havent met in quite a while (Bernie, Charlene, Philbert thats you!). There was also a performance by Swiss funk band Starch and with that in place, The Circle of enjoyment is once again complete! (Good food, Drinks, Music ,Company)

Lynn, Jerms and Beckie were around too as we helped ourselves to the beer, pizza, wings and sausages. In fact we may have even ordered a little too much as there were plenty of leftovers! But seriously, food was awesome la... i was just too stuffed to finish them all.

As usual, the event was also filled with cute female service staff dressed as German Beer maids complete with the pigtails. I guess i must have a little to much to drink coz at one point i could have sworn that i slammed my beer mug on the table and called out 'MORE ALE WENCH!' oops..... not the most clever of ideas....

Lyd's chef friend joined us after that too... Haha... didnt manage to help us finish the food though coz he felt it was too overcooked.... lol... Till then!

The one about Casse's Wedding & SQ's birthday...

Was invited by Qin to celebrate her birthday at her workplace in Clarke Quay. Javern and I was rather early as we spent the morning at Casse & Benny's Wedding. didnt get to take much pictures as there was already quite a few professional photographers there (My lil old camera looks like a toy compared to theirs) Saw quite a number of familar faces though (Hi Charlotte, Sharon, Elaine...etc) but most of them were pretty busy doing their job as jie meis la.

Letf slightly earlier than planned as Jav and i both had to make our way to Clarke Quay for Qins birthday next. Somehow we managed to reach rather early and had some extra time to chill. It wasnt long before the rest all arrived and we made our way slowly for dinner and thereafter for Drinks.

It was a pretty relaxing evening with us playing games such as dice and darts (Lynn is suprisingly good for a beginner). Got the birthday girl a cake but she ended up feeding the cake to everyone else....*#$%$^%$....... But I guess we all got our revenge when she was loaded with a few 151s in the end! 1st one courtesy of me!

So Here it is.... Happy Birthday Qin! Hope you had a great one =)

The one about Ready Set Glo: The Mad Decent Tour....

Well i always gotta give it up for Ning who have always invited us to the most awesome parties and events. This one is of course no exception. Recieved an txt msg we simply two words the day before that went 'Tommorow... Zouk' and considering the fact that Cash and Judy were both performing there too i decided to check it out.

Turns out i was not dissapointed to say the least! Would should be the guest Dj that night but Dim Mak label owner and remixer du jour Steve Aoki! This time however he brought his partner in crime Diplo who had been the person responsible for the remixes by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Hot Chi1p,Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears to name a few. Music was simply great that evening! This was of course part of the monthly parties brought to us by 42below vodka!

Apart from that was also the quirkiness of Steve aokis personality that brought a new life to the party. Among all of it the few that i had a strong impression of was him ripping his shirt of on stage as well as spraying champagne on everyone on the dance floor.... Ok... all of a sudden i am quite happy i was not that close to the console.

While there i also managed to check out a new flavour of 42 below which was plum flavoured. Tasted exactly like plum wine but with a stronger kick and buzz of course. Hmm..... the next time i am gonna mix it with Soda....

The one about Singtel Grid Girl Finals 2009...

Was invited by Crystal to support her at the finals of the Singtel Grid Girls competition and imagine my suprise to bump into many friends that i didn't expect to see! Chermaine was one of them as i was under the impression that she couln't make it. Later did i realise it was just part of her plan to give Crystal a suprise.. Haha Sweeeeet.

It was also rather funny as i managed to catch up a while with Feliza as well. Funny because we both saw one another but dared not approach one another for fear that we recognised the wrong person. Event was rather amazing even though Crystal's section of supporters was completely packed so that I and Chermaine had to park ourselves in another section, but no matter! We still cheered as l0ud as possible for both parties as well.

Nick was there as well with his trusty little camera and took a picture of me in another section! Haha... don't anyhow post the picture k bro, you are gonna get meinto so much trouble

Didnt came as a suprise when we saw who was the overall winner though as she was already given quite high marks in all the graded segments prior to the competition. Nevertheless we are all very proud of you babe! Hoot! Congratulations to Cordy as well who came in second runner up in the competition as well =).
