Oh!

Unfortunately (or fortnuately), my trip to JKT has been postponed, so Ill be still hanging around SG sorting out stuff. I went to watch Butterflies today. It was a quaint French film about a grumpy Grandpa who found a little girl and took her to the woods to look for butterflies. It is as innocent as it sounds. = p

It's filled with nice scenes of the snow capped mountains, and trees and all that nature stuff - but it was over before we knew it ... Slightly over an one hour I think.

I just realized this blog is supposed to be out DANCE MUSIC and DJ-ING, but now it seem it's like a diary!

Generally, I havent been Dj-ing much, and have really re-thought if I would ever really go into it again ... I guess the highlights was going to Hong Kong and Malaysia to spin in the first half of this year, and those totally rocked. It was fun, and it was kinda nice travelling around like a superstar DJ .. only I am not - nowadays my job is to make sure the superstar djs who come to Centro is well taken care of ... Ha!

Anyway, been getting a few tunes recently. One of then being the Sasha remix of Unkle's In A State. Everyone's playing this, probably even the radio. It's lush, with some nice vocals - not really sure male or female - plus it's easily remembered, but Sasha is prob capable of more decent stuff. The guy that has been doing it for me is Ozzie Luke Chable. Everything he has remixed or produced has turned to gold - old time favourite being Accardia's Into The Dawn. The latest collaboration with Bonicci of NUBREED "Ride" has also got everyone in the scene all hyped up and happy ...

Finally, my favourite all time DJ James Zabeila is coming to Singapore in the 2nd week of Jan .. but unfortunately it seems we not able to book him this time round. He's off to Jiak Kim St. RATS = ( I would really love to attend this gig. Charming and all round nice guy as well, whom girlfriend checks his email , I think up till this day.

Enuff of this boring stuff ...

See you on Friday!

Since the last time I wrote on the blog, I have been to more than 500 km away and back ... dunno why I did it, but it was kinda fun. Even though the last time I was there only 2 weeks back, I felt that I havent been there in ages ....

Anyway, had a great dinner, then uh hum ... some ... slept, finally lunch the following day at the Ritz before heading back. Even managed to squeeze in some swimming in the morning, but when the pool is situated 22 floors up, I didnt really have a good time because I was freezing my shorts off in the cold water!

Off to Jakarta in 2 days - and you know - I am feeling a little jittery about going there! *Fingers and toes crossed* But it's all for a good experience so it should be all that bad!

Today was really fulfilling! Since I didnt head down to the club yesterday, I had a pretty decent rest (Although I still hit the sacks at 5 am). I was mixing a bit when English born Tokyo-based DJ Dave ..... (not sure his full name) called me up to inform me he is playing at Mahalo in the afternoon. I thought it would be nice to say Hi, so I rounded up Jason and got him to go to East Coast park with me for some 'family cycling'. Babe Factor not that high today, but had a lot of small boys and girls getting in the way.

Met Dave after getting a bike - said hi, talked a bit, and went back on our cycling thing. After, we were off the the beach siide (well not really the beach, near the cycling path but we could clearly see the beach) at a place called Bernie's for dinner. Munched down a huge ass burger, and then off the McCafe for a chcolatey desert ... Ahhhh .. Life Is Sweet!

While we were at our coffee, it started to pour and we were so grateful that we were not out there in the jetty or somethin! Hahaha! Woo ooo ...

Headed back home soon after, but nonetheless a great day when I caught up on some nice new tunes for this Saturday, perhaps.

Yeh!

Cheers,
Kelvin

Day started well, and had a nice rest today - before heading down to the club to have further discussions about parties, parties and more parties! Finally went to gran some records at HMV as well - nothing to outstanding but really felt to need to play fresh stuff. Don't even feel the excitement of downloaing stuff anymore.

Thinking hard what else is there in my most 'happening' life as work at Centro , but drawing blanks ... except now I am going to head to town to perhaps catch a movie before heading home.

Oh yes, my ticket has been booked to Jakarta next week! How exciting ... = p

See ya and speak to ya soon, perhaps at 3 am = )

I dun believe I have not updated my blogspot for so many months! How time flies when everything is throw to you, sidewards and back ...

The Ministry of Sound Essential NYE party is also under preparation already - I am actually looking forward to it - but then after realizing that I might not be sleeping for a week before that, I am not that glad about it anymore. But's it's all for a good cause - making people happy.

I've been lazing around on weekends nowadays - in fact I appreciate any time spared on any day/ evening/ weekends that is not work related. How I long for the beach now ...

Just popped over to KL last weekend, and it was pretty fun - only that everything ended so fast, and before I knew it, I was on my way back. But it was nice to get away from it all once in a while. I really needed that, esp after that 24 hour party thing with Pepsi X, which was one of my work life's most challenging and stressful experiences so far.

But I think this was one of the most fruitful and relaxing time I had in KL as well. Besides meeting a whole bunch of friends, I also didnt do much clubbing. Eating like a glutton I did - well that's because I have not been eatin much before those weeks. I HAD TO MAKE UP FOR IT!

Besides, everything was "half price" and really could not resist myself.
