ZoukOut Singapore

So, it comes once a year and everyone just goes nuts over it! Now, in my mind, it's just another outdoor event - and my thought wasn't too far away from reality except that I didn't anticipate the hour long wait for a cab to take us out of Siloso Beach. What a bitch that was!! Finally, we had to actually share a cab with this lovely couple who didn't mind dropping us off just outside of Sentosa - right outside of St.James so that we could get a cab from there back to the hotel.
Ok, so, that was the only pain-in-the-ass thing that happened.
Here are some pictures to tell you the rest of the story! Overall, it was a decent party with access to booze all night long at reasonable prices. They had bars located everywhere. They also had some games such as the trampoline, tattoo artists, massages and face painting.
Besides the great line up of DJ's, the other fascinating element of the night was the fact that our "shy" asian girls are now NO LONGER SHY!!!!! There were girls walking around with just bikini's and some bikini's barely covering jack-shit! Might as well don't wear the damm thing! Another interesting fact that I noticed (and I'm sure you all noticed but just don't have the balls to say it) is that many asian girls these days are beginning to have bigger boobs!! I don't know if it's the good food that they are consuming or it's just the bra but they are looking HUGE!
Of course, the group of us who went had a blast and some people even took it a step further and decided to get really drunk and dance with random dudes - ala Janet Jackson style!
This girl was classic - she was sitting alone posing so we decided to approach her and tell her that she looks perfect to be a calendar girl. We asked her to pose for the camera and she did - HOW VAIN! Then a friend of ours wanted to meet her and as they walked towards her, her "white" boyfriend returned and as soon as he sat, she started making out with him with so much passion. This is probably what went through her mind: "Wah! They think I'm HOT! I better make out with my boyfriend to prove a point that I'm not available". What went through our mind:
"Cheh! Like la she damm hot! So pariah looking! Let's take a picture as a joke!!"
The girls.....Cindy, Bess, Wendy and Joanne
Me with the girls - just had to la!!!
Now, I'm sure you would have heard the saying "Angel falling from the sky" - this was almost the similar case. Michael was sitting down and Bess stepped back not realising he was there and fell onto his lap!! Meant for each other!!

Well, as you can see, it was good fun. Obviously some of us went home before the party ended coz we've been to hundreds of these parties so they all look the same after awhile. The younger crowd, who went to Singapore to sleep and eat in the hotel and go to ZoukOut, of course partied till 8am. Funny thing is, they spent the entire time in Singapore sleeping and eating in the hotel. Funny people!!! But weird!!!

Pistol Whipped

I recently watched a movie called Pistol Whipped - now any movie with that kind of a title shouldn't even get pass through the "logic" department. It did so here I am talking about it.
When I was younger (like 20 years ago), I always found Steen Seagal cool coz of his long pony tail and his Akido fighting skills. Dude could break bones - literally break bones! That's was cool. But over the years, when you grow up, you realise that all his moves are pretty stupid and that he really CANNOT act for shit.
Don't bother watching this movie even if it's for pleasure sake - I made that mistake. Here's what the movie's about in a nutshell. Matt Conner (Steven Seagal) is an ex-cop whose life has gone downhill since he was kicked off the Bridgeport police force after being accused of corruption. Every so often Matt goes to a catholic church to talk to Father Joe Maloney, who is a friend of his. Matt's been struggling with a debilitating gambling problem and a debt that totals more than $1,000,000.
Matt is approached by a man named Blue, who takes Matt to meet with a mysterious old man. The Old Man informs Matt that he has bought out all of Matt's gambling debt markers. The Old Man offers to wipe Matt's debt clean in exchange for a few "favors." All Matt has to do is hunt down and kill the city's biggest gangsters, those that the police can't touch. Matt thinks something isn't right, and with the help of his ex-wife Liz's husband, police Lt. Steve Shacter, Matt begins to investigate Blue while fighting his alcoholism, getting visits from Becky, and doing the first two jobs -- taking out major local gangsters Bruno and Ling.
Complicating matters is a shifty alliance with the Old Man, Blue, and their associate, Andrea "Drea" Smalls, whom Matt sleeps with. And then the Old Man gives Matt his next assignment -- to kill Steve. It turns out that Steve is the leader of a group of corrupt cops who had been working with Bruno and Ling. It was Steve who stole the money that Matt was accused of stealing, and then Steve killed Matt's partner before Matt was thrown off the force. Now, Steve goes to the church and brutally kills Father Maloney, and Matt vows to kill the man who killed Father Maloney. Matt figures out that it was Steve. Steve kidnaps Becky, and Matt puts his life on the line to rescue her
Overall, boring and stupid. Doesn't even make it to a "B" standard of movies. If you still wanna watch it, I'd suggest a comfy pillow, some chips and LOTS of alcohol. But on the other hand, perfect movie during company parties! Ha! ha!
