Being Ordinary is Bliss

Adidas 60th Anniversary
326 Havelock Road

Upon arrival, MDC reporters came grab me when I was entering the door cos' they reg. me.
No, obviously NOT after me...
They were after Edison Chen.
They couldn't enter the party & so needed me to help get photos/videos.
And NO, I'm not into him & I'd no idea he was going to be there that night.
Ning called half an hr later to ask me for details & happening inside.
I agreed to help take some snaps- below.
I promised to help Juliet, but I left before I see him.
SORRY!
Seriously, what's the hype over him?
The crowd went crazy when he appeared.
Here we go (w/o Chen)... =P

It was supposed to be a girls night out on Thurs but due to unforseen circumstances, we had to cancel the gathering.
Which doesn't meant it was a boring night cos' I made Italian for my love.
We spent quality time together over dinner w a bottle of red wine.
Yum yum...
In any case, I still get to see Crystal at the Adidas party on Fri.
It's been a long time (almost 3 mths) since we last catch up...
Having gfs is the best thing on Earth.
Why?
Besides all the emotional support, party perks, etc,
WE always look great beside each other!

I wasn't sure what to wear to the party since there weren't dress code.
Wearing Adidas will be such cliche & screaming BORING...
Donning a dress will be too over.
Instead, I chose to be jeans & tank top.
I don't have many choices cos' I wasn't at home to start with. Ha!

The event started off with a dance number, dancers were all dressed in Originals.
Honestly, I don't find them fantastic.
I've seen much better, epecially for private events like this.
I can't tell if fault lies with the bad choreography, the dancers, or both.
The outfit were nice tho.

Thank God the DJ was pretty decent before the show started!
There were free flow of Tiger beers, red bull & some colourful cocktails...
So does fingerfood.
I was staring the waiters' tee which says "Delicious", then looking at the menu.
Hahahaha!

The VIP area from the centre stage view.

Halfway through the fashion walk...
This guy came in, trying to get everyone's party spirits up.
He was damn good with his beat box!

Watching the fashion show, kinda makes me bored.
I was all excited prior to it.
I saw people at the party who thought I was there cos of work.
(Can't I be enjoying myself on a Fri night?)
Hmm....
I have the says this group of models were quite a bad mix.
We can tell from one look who are the more experienced ones.
There were just way too much happening on the stage at one time...
If I were the designer of the Originals range, I would have probably flipped.
I don't know what was the focus on stage.
After telling Calvin my comments, he said he's gonna drop the choreographer.
I felt bad for causing someone to lose his/her job.
On the otherhand, he/she is just incompetent.
Reality is cruel.

For the 1st time I actually felt really disinterested taking photos around the party.
I really set myself out just to have fun, get tipsy & in the crowd...

Since the camera was already out, let's just take a few pics...
I must thank Edward & Johnny for helping to take photos from top view.
Cos they are friggin tall!
I was standing at 1.7m & they still tower over me!
-
Personal view about Edison's indecent act.
He's a celebrity, but he's human being too.
Why media has to scrutinise him?
Come on lah, if he has the looks/ talents cut out for the industry, why be so offended by the photos?
Many love Cecilia, Gillian, along w the others, too, isn't it?
You mean there are no better news/ happenings to talk about?
It's been so long, let it go already!

The crowd & party didn't keep my attention for long...
So we left around 10pm.
I was starving & wanted real food...
-
Last shot of the party before we leave.
The organisers were really really bad.
They gave out so many invites & the place was overly flooded.
The event started at 7.45pm & when we left at 10pm,
there was still a super long queue.
& they all have the invites, too!

Isn't it a nice place to dine in?
No wonder TCC calls its outlets, boutiques....

Zouk; winebar

Our dear Ms Kang was complaning all the way while we were having dinner.
She just wanted alcohol to keep her sane from all the work stress.
45min break was way too LONG for her.
I hoped all the drinks at Zouk that night made her a little less cranky for work the next day...
I love Zouk, I hate Zouk.
Good cos' it was literally my home for a long period of time.
Bad cos I get to see lotsa familiar faces I wished they don't exist.
I just wanted to be another face in the crowd.
Being ordinary is bliss.

@ 2pm, Ms Kang is hungry...
So I bought her food at the stand outside.
I ate together with her tho dinner was only like 2 hrs before?

"Wan Tho Sek"
Sims Avenue

Martin was sweet to offer to come to Zouk to send me home.
I told him to have supper 1st cos' Ms Kang had cravings.
We left the rest of our friends at Zouk & went makan!
And the food was really yummy...
I ordered extra & pack some back for love...
He had no choice but to wake up from his zz at 4am to eat.
LOL...!
