  • Yet Another New Club

    There's another new club opening in SH. It's called SNATCH. Apparently some affiliation with Mike Tyson, as he was here this weekend to attend the opening.

    I was there last night and I overheard some American guy explaining to a European guy that Snatch also means pu$$y. Pretty funny, the whole situation.

    I know, not the most useful blog this one, but I thought I'd update since I've been pretty busy.

    D-Day is coming, more on that a bit later on. Here are some pics from Snatch:

  • Gucci Gucci Gucci

    Every major fashion show, we are asked to invite celebrities and VIPs to their event. Depending on the budget and the brand, different celebrities are invited. This Spring Summer Gucci show was no different. I'm not a huge fan of Huang Yi, but she's a relatively famous local Shanghainese. She's here posing with another celeb from HK, Peter Ho, and Ms. Tang (President of Asia Pacific Gucci Group).

    This is another celeb, don't know who she is, but her facial structure looks a tad masculine...

    More pictures will be uploaded, but for now, you can find them here.

  • A Disastrous Week...

    After flying back from Thailand, taking the red eye from Bangkok at 2am and arriving in Shanghai at 7:30am, rolling into work, I had a disastrous week.

    Yes, Monday was followed by Tuesday night poker. (Hey, I haven't chilled with the boys in a while, and poker's a great way to chill.)

    Tuesday was followed by Wednesday's celebration of Jamian's birthday at DaMarco's and then party at Babyface. (Hey, it's Jamian! One of my good buddies in Shanghai! I had to go right?)

    Wednesday was followed by Thursday night's little outing at Guandii. Some guy from Singapore was in town, and my friend had to show him a good time, and needed to rally the troops so that there was some critical mass. (Hey, it's all good, I'm doing someone a favour! They wouldn't ask me if they didn't really need it right? err...)

    Thursday was followed by Friday night's Atlantis Rising party, a party that one of suppliers put together to celebrate their 900th day birthday. (Hey, I was doing QC. AND it was a Friday night, I didn't expect to stay home on a Friday did I? After a long week at work... and in retrospect of going out... Ok so maybe I should not have went to Guandii afterwards and stayed til it closed.  But this involved me following a friend around because he was wasted and kept trying to pick up chicks, I was kinda worried some local would smash a bottle on his head.)

    And that was topped off by last nights little adventure. Going to a houseparty full of laowais, and mostly guys, dirty ones wanting to prey on the locals. Then traveling to Gossip only to find out it was an after hours place. Then to Cashbox to join Alton's birthday. Then to Guandii to enjoy the Hip Hop. Then back to Gossip...

    I don't remember the last time I went out every night of the week. What a Frackin disaster. I'm almost 30. This place is a den of sin I tell you.  Hopefully I have gotten it out of my system.  Time to concentrate.  Concentrate dammit.

    Mary J. Blige is great, I think her voice is fantastic, and I'm glad she has another album out.
