Scream, shout, sing-a-long ... and since you can expect a countdown with hand-sign actions and the mass dance moves synonymous with the night, it really should be Auld Lang 'Sign', it’s 2009.

Title : Xiuzhen's Christmas Present (Massage Cushion)

Yes, yes, this post is dedicated specially to Xiuzhen who requested me to blog this out. Approximately an hour ago, I went to meet this lady at the MRT station named Xiuzhen who is one of my friends who wanted to pass me a christmas present. Little did she know, she was receiving one as well. With the presents exchanged and everyone's happy, we parted ways excitedly wanting to reach home as fast as we could to open up the presents. Sounds like a fairy-tale, huh? Wanna know the rest of the story? I'll tell you the tale of The 5 Wrappers!

Bistro Delifrance

Been wanting to post this up but was just plain lazy and busy with other things but oh well, anyways, this was a pre-christmas dinner treat by my uncle as while back. It was at Bistro Delifrance, the normal Delifrance bakery actually but the new Delifrance outlets are now more like restaurants where you can dine in with a menu of delightful food to choose from. I shall talk no more, enjoy the pictures, it was a delicious meal depending on what you order.

Title : Zoukout 2008

Zoukout 2008

It's 1pm on a Saturday and I had to wake up to help my friend Zhi Zhong with the preparations for his birthday party today! Was gonna sleep til evening since I'm going to Zoukout at night but oh well. Arrived at his house with potato chips, marshmallows and some frozen food for the BBQ later, compliments of me since I can't go there empty-handed can I? Hahaha, went to set up the portable BBQ stand outside his house as the BBQ pit downstairs was already occupied by another family. I started the fire for the BBQ or else, no one will especially his lazy-ass gaming friends who came over for the party. Got the fire burning and started BBQ-ing to our heart's content, Fish-balls, Sotong-balls, Prawns, Hotdogs, Chicken Wings and Marshamallows. Me and my friend Alex, taught and played a few card games with his friends before leaving the party at 10.30pm as Alex had to return home to change, get his luggage and check in to the airport while I had to be on the way to Zoukout! Alex is going for a holiday as well as visiting his dad who is working there while his mum accompanies his dad at Saitama which is very near, in fact, just above Tokyo in Japan for a 10-day trip. We took the train together and parted at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station as he was headed in the different direction. All this while, in the train, there were these 4 damn hot, sexy and good-looking chinese girls seating opposite from where I was seating which I 100% guarantee you was heading to Zoukout as well!!!

I arrived a Harbour Front and queued up for quite a while to get the boarding pass to Sentosa via the monorail as the crowd was exceptionally huge with party-goers, clubbers, hunks and scantily-clad sexy hot chicks and bikini babes!! When I finally arrived in Sentosa, I bumoed into my pals Vincent and Benny on the way to Siloso beach for Zoukout as well. We walked there and entered the party together, received the Zoukout proof-of-entry wristband and had to go through a metal-detector check before getting in. This is it!!! My first virgin-Zoukout!!! WOOHOO!!! A clubbing beach party! It feels so good, straight away I met up with my buddies who were already inside, Johnathan, Kenneth & Zhi Hao. We immediately headed for the dancefloor, Mambo was our first stop, playing some of the most retro hits, than we moved on to Trance which I find pretty catchy but I've heard better. We party-ed, dance-ed and sweat-ed it out like there was no tomorrow. Took a break later on as we got tired enjoying ourselves. Ordered some drinks to chill and enjoyed a couple of fireworks display. Went off for some fun at this booth where they had a Sony Playstation 3 and the game Rock Band!!! We went pretty crazy ourselves, haha!!! There was this cool bungee thing where they hook you up and you get higher by jumping on the trampoline and you can start doing somersaults, frontflips and backflips!

Met a few of Kenneth's friends later whom we hanged around with. While walking along the beach, Zhi Hao met his friend Yiwen who was... Remember the 4 hot girls I mentioned earlier? She was one of them and the rest were her friends and she is Zhi Hao's friend and I was like "Oh My Gosh!!!"! LoL! Damn co-incidental! If only we could hook up with them to dance, than things would have been even more fun! I also bumped into Debby too!!! She was smoking hot in her red bikini! I was like "Debby! DEBBY!!!" for her to notice me since the music was so loud!!! Seems like lots of people I know are at places where it's most-happening! Later on, we slacked and chilled at the nearby 7-11 as the food sold in Zoukout were outrageously pricy!!! Expected anyways, got to know Kenneth's friends and one of the guys' girlfriend whose name is Ain Fong who is a chinese-malay like me. Best part is, she's also in RP like me and in the same school too! Cool or what!? I was so gonna ask her for a dance but unfortunately we got to know each other at the wrong time and sadly they were heading off.
