Halloween 2006

Sorry for the late post. Need to gather all the photographs.

Anyway went to my 1st ever Halloween party @ Zouk. Although Singapore dun really celebrate Treat Or Trick Season, but that nite was HOrriFicly exciting. As per norm Zouk will always hav a halloween party during this time of the yr. In order to enter into the premises for FREE (usual price $30) we hav to dress frm TOP to Bottom in costumes and if im nt wron the person wit the best costume win a trip to DUBAI

Juz few days b4 the actual party, kane n i were discussing wat r we goin to dress as for our costume. @ 1st he suggested tt i shld go as Nacho Libre(tt jack black movie). I hav to turn him down coz i was no ready to flaunt my nipple in front of the public and @ the same time worried tt the bouncer will bounce mi out of the premise coz im too underdress and provocative. So we suggested ynot we go as a superhero n his sidekick. Names have been throwing around like batman n robin, nacho libre & his rail-thin, unconventional partner Esqueleto (the Skeleton), etc.

Ended up we came out wit the idea of THE GREEN HORNET(tt 1966 movie acted by Van William n Bruce Lee). U may b asking y we chose them coz 1st of all our costumes are very normal everyday life clothes and we didnt really have to dress up much and we dun hav to feel very MALU(embarrassed) walking around in those costumes.

so a day b4 the party we went to the #1 costume sumwher near bugis n each of us juz bought a glittery mask(which we hav to spray it black) which cost 5+ and rent a hat which cost 5+. So our whole outfit juz cozt us 10 each n we get in for free(up $30).

Kane aka The Green Hornet
Mi aka Kato(Green Hornet sidekick)
Laurance aka The Green Hornet manager (hehehe)
MJ aka Dark Angel
Rizal aka Roy aka Unholy Monk
Cynthia aka Devil
Roger aka Taoist Priest

On the day itself we were Horrified nt by the costume but by the Q itself. But good thing we hav good connection n manage to cut the Q. u can see frm Donald Duck to Superhero to Prehistoric man,etc all lining up to enter the club. Met my army friend JX in coverall(no wonder he ask for my army coverall one wk b4 the party) together wit a Bloody AXE.

Although it was a pity tt my friend MJ n Cyn couldnt gt in for free but i was very furious wit tis lady behind us. She is a small frame but nice body lady(shit didnt really gt to see her face) and she was so daring. She wore half cup bra and panty for the event. We were all shock and another thing was she gt to enter for free. We were like WTH. I wont b surprise things will happen to her especially when u wear sumthing so like THAT in THAT place.

On the dance floor, we were shock to see even more funny costume. Saw tis lady not only wrapped in a towel n shower cap. she even brought the whole shower curtain along. it was so hilarious especially when u see a shower curtain hanging above the lady's head bopping around to the sound of justin timberlake sexyback. then we saw a few SWOT team patrolling around wit their toys, Boyish looking HK policeman(with those short shorts), Bob the Builder, CAveman,etc. The Dim Sum Dollies have a lil stint juz b4 the party started to promote their new musical.

The crowd was good the music even better and i enjoyed myself but i hav to leave early coz i worried tt my mob will b activated on sun and i dun wish to report to camp lookin like i slept in a graveyard the nite b4. Tis is one of the my memorable event and really looking forward for the next 1. Hopefully more ppl can join us next yr mayb can start thinking wat to wear for next halloween(any ideas juz let mi noe)

Our mission to protect Dark Angel(dun worry guys its nt Jessica Alba)










Theses pix are nt digitally altered. Its really smoky on the dancefloor. No wonder news reported tt the air in any club is 10 times worse than the unhealthy PSI level

im REally impress by Kane's Friend Roger(on the far left). He juz wore a chinese costume he bought frm china (when he was on holiday) and paste all the talismen n hell notes all over his body. he has tis small pouch filled wit hell notes n goin around givin ppl hell notes. he even willing offer his service to burn sum of them for the ppl. Really funny an creative guy

Roy wit the cute chambermaid
she must b confessing to him wat she hav done aft office hour in the hotel

Cyn doin her Madonna C.O.A.D.(Confession On A Dancefloor)

Met tis gothic lookin lady in the middle. she told mi tt she juz given birth to a doll at the OLD Changi Hospital n went straight to Zouk to celebrate her birth together wit her nurse (behind) whu is workin there 2

Eight Wonders were considered the black horse of the race til recently when they announced the full plan of ther resort concept. Although the attraction doesnt really attract mi but to remake sentosa into a fantasy indiana jones setting designs oredi won mi over. Wit the dormant volcano (inside house Harry's Hideaway Hotel), cascading waterfall (looks like nigaria falls), aquarium n rainforest(wow). Harry's Island really gonna attract big spenders and families to visit the quiet island of sentosa. So no one is a black horse now for tis competition

IR

As we are eagerly awaiting for the result for the 2nd Integrated Resort to b announce, here are sum of the details frm each individual proposals.
According to wat i hav read in the news, im sure NO ONE is a dark horse in the competition, all 3 proposals are frontrunners.
It's up to the govt whether they want a tried n success themepark, a robotic futuristic themepark or a fantasy illusion themepark.
Now left wit Genting/Star Cruise/Universal Studio Consortium, Kerzner/Capitaland Consortium and Eight Wonders/ Publishing and Broadcasting Limited/Melco International Development Consortium bidding for the 49ha plot of land in Sentosa
