What could compete with the events of last month?

Dennis Foo & co. are poised to take on the might of clubs like Club MOMO, DXO & Ministry of Sound. While it has worked in many countries around the world, and very successfully, we must ask ourselves, is Singapore ready for this yet?

My opinion, YES!!! We will all await the full opening of this mammoth venue to see what the Foos' will do with it. Off to The White Room on Circular Road, which is just that; a white room, with a white bar lit by eerie florescent tubes behind, yes... the white bar.

This is a cool place to go with a private seating area to chat up that cute girl, a karaoke to sing along with, although most of the songs are in Chinese, but has very friendly staff who will chat with you as well.

This night started off with just a few drinks with the boys, Jay & Justin, it soon became apparent with the easy time we were having that it was gonna be a long one... so armed with a bottle of Chivas Regal, Justin encouraged us to stay, not that we needed much...

Friday the 13th October, saw the re-opening of the GMAX reverse bungy at Clarke Quay. After recent events there, myself, being superstitious, I would have left it to Saturday 14th instead, just to be sure.

But, oh well, it was open.

So off to Bungy Bar or BB's as it is locally known. Sitting with Paul Dawson the GM there, we started to put the world to rights with the logic that only comes after a few... hic...1-4-1 Asahi beer.

BB's is a good place to unwind, near the river with an Alfresco dining area, sometimes you can get a live band playing too. Oh yes, did I mention the GMAX? Well, we sat looking at the thing, and at the people who were drinking and going up on this and then coming off it a little Green.

Well... after a few beers, being shot to over 100m in the air and bouncing & spinning for several minutes what do you expect... Paul found out first hand what that was like... me... good old terra-firma for me!! Anyone for rugby?

Saturday 21st Oct, back to CQ, with the Bedok Kings and the Bucks... who? Two of SG's top Expat Rugby teams played their final match of the season. Whilst the Bucks lost and the Kings won, two parties ensued on both sides of the river.

Brewerks saw the Bucks enjoy a losing party in eloquent style, with lots of booze'N'food, Matt, Nick, Martin and the rest of the guys joined in song, antics and good natured pranks that you only get at a rugby gathering.

After Brewerks, the Bucks joined the victors at BB's for a congratulatory drink and more drunken antics were forthcoming. I remember my Grandfather saying that football is a gentleman's game played by thugs and rugby is a thugs game played by gentlemen. How true he was with those words. Oh yes, if you can find the Bucks having a party anywhere, find Martin Williams and ask him for 3 blind mice.

Club MOMO had a new type of event this week, DJ's playing all the old skool favourites for you. You know, the music we grew up to in the 70's/80's & early 90s'?... UGGH you say.

But was it really that bad a time? I have very fond memories of that era and always relish a musical trip down memory lane.

Some old favourites will always pop up at a gig like this. Great to sing along to as well as dance, dig out your flared jeans, polka dot dancing dresses, get your hair styled like Cyndi Lauper, dress up like Boy George and get down to the groove on Wednesday's at MOMO LIVE LOUNGE... I dare you!

J-Rock at the Gas Haus in Bugis was the scene for Saturday. Many of you will know that Think Magazine and the Gas Haus are related, but we are also worlds apart, just like a family in many respects. So I decided to spend some quality time with the family. J-Rock...

that is something different. Guys & gals get together in costumes, with yes, I have to say it, make up that would grace any haunted house on Halloween and rock the night away.

I am unable to understand a word that they are singing, but it is entertaining in the least. The USMC dropped by to say hi and rocked with the Goths or whatever else they were. They tell me that some of their unit go to the Middle East this week, SEMPER FI Marines. Gods speed and protection to you all!!

This month saw many, many, events that are too numerous to mention. Think had drinks with Mr. Tequila - Julio Bermejo the Ambassador of Tequila to the United States at Cafe Iguana, a truly Mexican experience with Tequila, food and pleasant service with an 'OLA'.

Cage Iguana offers a truly Mexican menu with food, beer and tequila, it's a perfect way to relax with amigos. We also had drinks with the Bedok Kings Rugby Team, went to the re-opening of Metamorphosis at DBL O - a truly great venue to let loose, with their own record label and a new clothing line available from their own boutique... are Emerald Hill taking on the might of MoS??

I will watch with curiosity to see what they do. Take a look at the new style lazer system they have... it's KOOL! Still with the Emerald Hill Group at Emerald 5, Think were invited to the launch of a new type of whiskey from Japan, Shochu, made from sweet potatoes. It has a kick that will disable the faint hearted with a full flavour for the connoisseur that will impress. The 'Geisha Troupe' were a surprise for all, hilarious to say the least.

Again it was certainly another lush life this past month, with parties and many friends anew and many new, and some regular places visited. Send me a listing of a venue you think we don't know about, and we may pay it a visit. If we do & we meet you there, we buy the first drink.
