Clubbing project

my event compANY is planning a clubbing event hosted by a reputable TV station...its going to be held in a carpark thats pretty big like elevation 245. Ticket is about $30..target is tertiary students to working adults from 18-35.

Need you people 's help to brainstorm :
what kind of things/programmes you will like to see for $30 per ticket in a clubbing event that is not seen in singapore yet. Must not be like those school bashes..cos' they are too common...no kick. good music, beautiful people and cool beers always works wonders but how about others?

Comment on any great but feasible ideas and I will be very grateful!!

P.S : Please do ask your clubbing friends for more idea ...

1st half of work...

pretty boring on the first day of work...got intro to the colleagues...seems friendly but I sense a wall bet...guess its natural since its my first day...looking forward to more interactions.

My main job was manning the hotline and liason for TNP bigwalk....so far calls has been pathetic since registration has not started yet. Trying to make myself busy by volunteering to assist my colleagues in their other duties. They give me a smirk on the face ...saying that the worst is yet to come...better enjoy this peaceful week first...I am sure of that!

5 more hours to knock off....

AhhhChooo!!

Been having a bad case of flu from thursday , my nose was a bloody running tap..I was swapping tissues on speed of 1 / 15 seconds!! The whole dustbin was full of them. eeks!! Took panadols for fear of running a fever and plenty of mints for sore throats cos' I knew if I could stop these 2 symptons under control....I won't need to see a doctor. I ended up with a heavy head, weak joints but the flu subsided , however my nose was a mass of red. Bigger than Jacky Chan!

I even went to gym on friday ...haha..never die b4 right? I thought a little bit of exercise will do me good. Felt drained after that..had beer some more.. I decided to rest on Sunday...monday got to work...don't wanna to be a sick kitten or pass the virus to everyone in the office:(

20 30 40..

seen the movie today and was touch by it on a few scenes: silvia chang who acted out the 40s...discovered that the guy whom she married for almost 20 years had another family outside...divorce was an obvious choice for her and she tried to seek out other guys for companionship ...but alas was met with unsuccessful results. Its lucky that she still had her own flower shop to depend on for the latter part of her life...she slowly found her faith and strength..discovering that besides having a guy by your side..there are other things that could provide joy too...you just have to find what you like to do... her part hits me that a relationship can be so fragile even it been years...its always good to save for rainy days and had a skill.

I don't wanna talk about the 20 and 30 story...you guys go watch them yourself..I like one of the statements they made and it really rings true in our society now.." You can easily find people who loves you, but are they the right ones?"

I guess you have to learn the hard way to know what you really need in life.I 'm not a love guru but I think the same goes for love...

The movie is also funny too ..it definitely worth 4 popcorns...suitable guys and gals. Guys esp. sgould watch it to understand more about woman...Hmmm...I wonder if there will be a film about man thru 2030 40 too..that will be a hit too!!

After the movie...I accompany z to purchase her DVD player and help her fix up at her house..We watched lost in translation .till 1 am plus..I must say DVD clarity is really sharp..no need to change CD too in midst of watching...I will invest one too..:)

life less ordinary....

not been blogging for some days since my there's nothing much to tell anyway..I had the same routine day to day..Its driving me crazy. maybe something funny worth telling today: a guy ..don't know how to describe..looks scrawny..untidy..big head ...sits next to me on the bus in the morning...there's nothing wrong to share a seat anyway but...he seems to lean on me as the miniutes goes by...I already shifted to make more space but this idiot keep pushing towards me pressing me on the shoulder. I was pissed off and try to lift up my shoulders and pushe back. he just sticks to me like a dead fish!!!..

That really spoils my morning...luckily the whole ordeal last for about 10 mins when I reach my destination. Am I always attracting the wrong attention....I don't mind if it was a pretty lady ..she could rest her head on my shoulder for who I care!!

the days went by..

I been counting the no. of days since I quit..its been 8 days. I have already start seeking for jobs since the 3rd day....just can't get used to be bumming around aimlessly for too long while my friends are working cos' its so hard to get ppl out these days ..I mean who are you to them to get them accompany you for the whole day!! They got better things to do than hung around with someone who is jobless..its harsh but true in our society when most seems to look on the monetary value of life .....but I don't blame them cos ' I would most prob do the same cos I 've got bills to pay and a life to live.

Anyway, I had my own ways to combat my loneliness...so the days that went by are pretty ok...These days , I do my networkings in the mornings and get out for gym sessions in the afternoons..that way, I don't experience the rush hours/lunch hours cos the crowd is busy and that makes me feel isolated.

I seldom go out at night unless invited to certain DJ gigs or really nice movies. Forget about asking me out on 3,4,5 cos I will be glued to the TV set watching American Idols (She bangs!) and Survivor. After that ..its sleeping time ....this is really the healthiest period for me as I do get enough sleep and wake up early. Most ppl just can't afford to do that so in some ways, its a blessing for me.

But lately, I have been asking myself..is this the kind of life style I want? For taking a break is still ok..but long term wise..I thought I might go mad. I need a nice job ... have ppl around me..synergies...some night life to prop up my life...new friends to widen my circle..get appreciated ..achieve something ......gonna have some vertical growth than lateral...I am crossing my fingers now for that...

Hope the next interview works!

hair day..

went for a express hair cut at one of the kiosk .not Q-bee cut but its just one the spin -offs from This fashion. They had a mini salon where the concept is quite similar to the one I seen in japan.just slot in 10 bucks , you get a card and wait for your queue. another wonder of jap efficiency.

Luckily , there's only 1 customer in the shop and I don't have to wait too long for my turn. The hair dresser looks pretty young.. I was crosssing my fingers but I must say he was pro enough to cut to my satisfaction. Its fast and he used a vacuum that really suck up all the bits and pieces of my hair so there's hardly any discomfort. It was money well spent and so I decided to get my hair cut there next month again.

went out feeling different...fresher and feels good!

Drunk??..or Just HIGH!!

Lost in Translation

I know this movie has been out there for quite some time..but its only today I managed to see it . I sawa lot of familiar shooting locations which I have been last year...Shibuya, Tokyo tower, Ginza, etc. I wanna go back to Japan again!!! I like the winter chill and the ever so friendly ppl there. ...and also the kinkiness...heheeh.

the movie as most of you have heard or read is about 2 Americans who just can't get used to the life in Japan. Though they are there for diff reasons...they got a common problem; Can't sleep at night. Its the language barrier and culture shock ...its just not easy mixing around ppl who hardly understand what you want....and that can really sank you into depression. It's also 2 ppl who are able to find temporary solace and sense of belonging as they were each being neglected or alienated in some ways or another...watch the movie and you will know!

Personally, I can feel alienation in SINGAPORE if you cannot blend well into the rat race culture...its so hard to find someone else who shares my thoughts cos' most ppl just put on a brave front and "can do" spirit but inside, they are just as helpless as baby mice. Ppl don't wanna show their true self....and the pressure just built up and waiting to explode..no wonder they are more cases of mental illness in developed countries compared to 3rd world countries.

Huhhh..am I grumbling a lot these days??

mass cleaning

Spent half the afternoon to clean up my room...what a mess!! There's so much dust (no wonder I get flu easily), cobwebs..unwanted things in my room. I throw away 4 bags of stuffs..books, rubbish, phones , comics..things I have hardly used or touch for 1 year. I dumped my old clothes away too..hahaha time for shopping again!!!

It was worth the effort, my room loooks cleaner , more spacious though still have some old stuffs left.. sentimental value ones..seems like everytime I changed my job, I will clear my room...signifying a new beginning..hopefully a good one.

juice...

Got a free copy of juice megazine from zouk...and read that this month ...there's some great DJ gig going on soon...might be going for some. I might even go to heinekken green room session again if the DJ is good like UNKLE... Juice is going to be my monthly clubbing megazine..

Woke up around 10+ and my mum ask me " no need to work har!" gosh I haven't break the news I have already quit....haizz..don't know how to tell also...maybe tell her on Friday...my back ache and my eyes are swollen ...could be too much alcohol retention from too much beer. Went to the career fair at suntec with my cousin at 330pm...she's just quit her banking job and so happen to be in same boat..but the fair was no diff from last year..majority is educational and booths like police, teaching, informatics etc.. Went to gym afterwards and god...the run was a like a snail...might be the beer affecting my legs...I took more than 45 min to complete 5 km...I decide no gym session the next day after clubbing in the future....must rest and recover.

Might be watching lost in translation tomorrow with cousin...see how..is it nice?

U.N.K.L.E

Just came back from Velvet , Heinekken Green room special DJ gig by U.N.K.L.E even though I don't know what they stand for, but they are a darn pair of good DJs from UK.. I am going for their CD definitely. Haven't been going for clubbing for 6 months since zoukout, and actually don't feel like going if not for the free entry ( all thanks to zoe who brought me in cos' she 's a member).

We went in at about 930 and the place was not very crowded, ppl were just chilling to the cool music and everyone was having a bottle of Heinekken...seems like the advertisement on TV except there are no guy blowig the whistle. Around 10 plus , the crowds started to came in, we were lucky to share a table with others and seat. Finally at around 1125, U.N.K.L.E came and the whole place started to warm up.... The beats going faster and more deafening as time goes....the peak came at 1pm plus and everyone was jumping mad on the floor..we were at the DJ table and stood on the ledge to see what the Dj was doing...waving mad and shouting till a bouncer came along and ask us to step down...haha..but we were not that easily defeated...we climb up once he disappear....poor bouncer ...think he was getting tired of us so he did not appear after a few attempts. Anyway We are not the only ones doing it.

I swear my ear drums was splitting ...since its been a long time they've exposed to pumping loud music. Around 130pm, I had enough of it and was getting sleepy and nausea with the smoke around me (they should create a non -smoker area for us !!!) I came out of velvet and I still see queues outside. some came out for a breather or peole watch. I took a cab home alone ...leaving my friends behind .think they are staying put till the whole event ends..its was a good feeling after all, but I made a promise that its the last time I go clubbing....till I found a proper job..heheeeh. Guess clubbing is still in me just that its lying low...
