Drunken Christmas

We started the night with a feast at Shook and of course, partner in crime includes Dom, Riesling, watermelon martini, and margarita.

Needless to say how drunk were we…the video explains it all.

Sweet 27th for Daniel

IMG_0823I’ve been thinking all day…something I have to do but I just can’t figure out what. After a very long day out and about, I got home at about 11ish. As usual, I talk to Renee to conclude my day and she finally cracked the ‘soalan cebu emas’! It is Daniel’s birthday.

Well, trying to be the last one to wish him on his birthday before the clock strikes 12am to 24th Dec 2008.

The next day, I spend my Christmas Eve dinner to make up for my forgetfulness @ LaFite, Shang.

IMG_0820 We were speculating that our table is the only one without alcohol. I need to detox!

IMG_0819-horz But my detox plan failed when they serve dessert. Nostalgia, cotton candy on a tree? SWEET! And my first time trying on chilli chocolate, new discovery for a chocoholic.

IMG_0831 We were the last to leave the restaurant as he was busy decorating the candles. Happy belated birthday!

His birthday wishes?

Flak’ing his way to Asia from Poland

We all know the popular stereotype of the artist: gaunt, disheveled, maybe missing an ear, and with a manic gleam in his hungry eyes.

I had the same feeling when I met Witold Flak at The Shanghai Knights @ Shook.

But, despite all the stereotypes. I took the opportunity to shoot with him the next day at the Executive Lounge @ Westin.

He travels with at least four cameras. One antique, one film SLR, one digital SLR for backup and one manual Leica when he walks around. Cool! IMG_0189

It has been long since the last time I saw anyone using films.IMG_0186This is antique. Look from the top, click on the front steel round button and roll! IMG_0192Due to lack of props, we used his black coat and hang it behind me as background. I havta wear his XXL shirt and almost got caught for lighting up the ciggie in the room. IMG_0212 After struggling with limited gadgets and impromptu shootings for 5 hours, we decided to give ourselves treats @ Haagen Daz down the road. IMG_0214While walking over, he is always watching at people around. Looking for expressions to shoot. The results are candid portraits devoid of artifice. No stupid fake smiles, manufactured poses, unsightly turtle chins, or deliberate crotch shots.

Don’t Fred, it is just Puppy Love

Do you always find it hard to commit? To anything.

Every time you passed by those pet store, you’d look at the pup and a certain words uttered out of your mouth and it ain’t cute.

If you’re jonesing for a pet but fear the commitment, find your escape with this opportunity to foster these eight puppies which were born a month ago, left wandering in the constructions site. 

The process is simple, and everything is up to individual discretion: Foster eight puppies and their mum for two months. You’re free from making any long-term time or financial commitments — as pet food will be provided as long as you provide love and shelter to them.

And if you happen to fall in love with Scrappy or Milo, go ahead and adopt him when the pup is ready around January.

See? Commitment doesn’t always bite.

Vow Luxuriously and Forever

IMG_0073Fashion event of the year at the stroke of midnight? I was wondering in my mind what event is this. It is the wedding of Valiram Group’s youngest, Mukesh Valiram weds Roshan Budhrani.

The wedding was held for 5 days in 5 different hotels, luxuriously. I’m honored to attend such spectacular wedding for 2 nights – Devil Wears Prada @ Ritz and Shanghai Knights @ Shook.

Devil Wears Prada

We arrived at the registration, given a role to play before we get into the hall. I gotta sing Madonna “Like A Virgin” together with Em. Arriving at the entrance, a signage says “Audition”. Huh??? Another clueless girl just doing whatever the people say, go with the flow. Pretty fun though. Serena chopped Em with “Sexy Siren” because she really pulled it off. I was busy capturing the classic moment (video can be found in my Facebook – Video). The emcee started it only at 2am, by that time I was already worn out and yawning away. The introduction was showing the couple LIVE from the hotel room as the gimmick, reality show like where the couple were too tired after a whole long day. I heard the fashion was at 3am and the guest left at about 4.30am. First time ever I attended a wedding that last all night long, although I left soon after they showed the video but still…cool~!

Shanghai KnightsIMG_0158

Guest arrives about 9pm but it started about 10.30pm. A lot of them were relatives all the way from Bombay, India.

Running for the event of the year? No doubt, this wedding is a landslide victory.

Arriving at the entrance of KL Plaza, with just a touch of red with my lips and a necklace from the LG Party, to compliment the dress code, Stylo X: Sexy in Red. The guest are ranging from high profile socialites to designers.

Walking up to the venue, the place were covered with red cloth all over and guest has to walk through an exhibition hall before you reach the main hall where the dance floor, sexy couches and free flows are.

KL Plaza is under going revamp which is just the perfect venue for this party’s theme, rundown graffiti warehouse. The walls were sprayed with stylish devil design.
