Hi Yew Kwong
I think nobody will scold you. When I saw your posting #76, I clapped an gave you a standing ovation.
I think I should be a very soft guy, but when I saw my posting amended by somebody, I also have a strong disgust feeling as you.
Yew Kwong, Thanks a thousand times.
Dear Who-ever-you-are,
Please stop editing someone else’s comment. Not only it’s not ethical, it’s disruptive to the friendships built over the website. What benefit or thrill do you get from doing such thing? I’m sure you didn’t mean to offend but thought it fun. Well, you know now it is not fun at all, at least not for those reading or posting it.
Join us in the fun of bantering or even flirting on the website, but please do stop such destructive behaviour okay.?!
Never saw Yew Kwong in a rage but justifiably so.
My comment #73 ended at mata chu but that low-life added allrounder in. Whoever you’re, you need help…….go see a psychiatrist or a medium b4 you start dancing at orchard rd naked and sucking a milk bottle.
Pls make the edit function in a posting personal to the writer and available to the SHC Adminsitrator only. That should help.
tim
YK and Andrew,
I read your comments today. Shall call u this afternoon when I am back.
Cheers, Terence
Dont you ever think of editing what you have already done. You think you are smart I guess not. They had been screenshot.
To all my fellow members
Pls accept my apology for the early inappropriate comment. I had already tolerated the nonsense yesterday afternoon but came back home late last nite to see red the same thing reoccured.
If you want to scold me, pls go ahead to do it. I m prepared to answer for my deed.
I m sincerely and very sorry.
Who’s the bloody idiot that has the guts to defance others’ comments (Andrew’s #74 – see the words after “Why?” and mine #75 – see the words after “sky”) but never the balls to own up. Shame to your entire ancestors, your country men, your country, your next of kins and whoever bastards that give birth to you.
I have edited your early nonsense this afternoon and now you bastard do it again. This time I m not going to edit them and let the others see the destruction of your nonsense.
I really got boiled up when I logged in and see the same thing reoccured. F you and your whole family and generation. Person like you without face should just kill yourself and disappear from this world.
I can be nice but dont ever try boil me up. Its SHC’s disgrace to have a member like you. Pls f off from here if you are not interested in membership but wanted to introduce all those nonsense.
U can hide now but not forever when your identity is reveal. Shameless person, bad family upbringing, beast and damn shit.
Hi All
I prefer servant to knight because he takes everything that the knight discards to him. Who knows there may be gold in it.
I m game for any night, any place, anything interesting and last but not least, any company. Except Mon nite, I may need to give a 2nd thought because Mon’s work is sometimes unpredictable.
I m all ready for 15 Jun 07 at St James. Guess its must be exciting as I have never been to here as well as Zouk or MOS. Thereafter we can drive to Changi beach, lie down and sip drinks while admiring the stars in the sky and let go gas (Guest).
Why more thing has been added to my posting? The following “…….the mountain so high, ocean too deep……the reason is… I can be with you…” is not written by me. Why? cos I am guest.
Act 1 : Andrew———–>Ronald —————->Lily ———->??
Act 2 : Andrew ———–>Ronald———->Lilly———>Ladies
Act 3 Andrew———>Ronald—————> mata chu——–mama san aka allrounder (guest)
Hi Ronald
Dai Gor, I will follow you, wherever you may go…….the mountain so high, ocean too deep……the reason is… I can be with you….
Hi Lily,
Like your idea of having fine dinner first before going clubbing.
Can we have comment from the others, please.
Was away, now returned with an axe to grind with so many.
Guest, you no smoke, you say smoke spoil the fun. I smoke I say no smoke no fun that’s why I puff like a smoking gun & if you join me, guaranty you hv obedient sons & will never become a monk.
Dolly, if you enjoy good company you enjoy his quiet chat but at that pomp pomp pang pang place even if Confucius is in yr company to share, you’ll only get confused, with his “be good to yr parents” becoming “goad yr parents……..”
Ivy, it was Mr Cheong who fathered the Cheongs, not a ram even tho the animal wanted to “go for it” and took “the heck care” attitude. Yes, it did try to “just do it” and in the process made a lot of “ngah ngah lai” noise as it ngeh ngeh lai but still not a Cheong was born. See Ivy, tim ah liu also takes good care of you hor by explaining it so clearly to you.
Ronald, you’re still young but 1 day you too will hv to join our long-winded league…….sad & even no invitation, you still must come and, yes, a word is a word, only difference is, it’ll then be a long-winded winding word.
Sok ah sor, me in serious discussion with Patrick (the no capital capitalist) on putting you on round the world talk-shows………you talk 100%, take 40% of all collections, ai mai?
Lily, dont worry, there’ll definitely be more than 3 of each gender at Dragonfly on night of 30 May. My instructions were, filled that place with male & female drangonflies, houseflies, even make butter fly, saucepan fly, tables chairs fly………and ambulances waiting outside to fly the injured to the A&E. Terence in bangkok sends regrets but nothg to regret if he synchronises a fly there as well. Yes, Sue’s Zouk also can fly……..mambo nite, dumbo fly…….And when the mata come, it’s time to say goodbye.
Phew, all out, relieved !
Hi Lily/Dolly/Renee
Can we all go Zouk instead as it’s ladies nite as well as mambo nite ?
I wud love to go Zouk if everyone agree. I hv feedback that their mambo nite is very good.
Any comments?
I have been following up this evening event; wont be able to join, as I make my routine to Bangkok.
Have fun, and one day, I shall join all of you too.
Terence
We now have 3 guys and 3 gals for Dragonfly on night of 30 May. Any more coming?
Terence had previously asked me to organize a night for fine dining. May be we can combine both in one night – Fine dining first, followed by clubbing.
Any comment or ideas??
Ann, thanks for the explanation. “Cheong” must be a new singlish word while I spent 15 years outside Spore. Must catch up and learn to join in the fun.
PhengSok, you are not only the Tim Liu look-alike; both of you share similar talents and characters too…Write well, cool on the surface but lots of fun inside. Glad to have someone “taking good care” of Tim from now. hahaha
LEARN CHINESE IN 2MINS…(You MUST read them out aloud). Accdg 2my sister in Perth this is how d Aussies learn 2speak Chinese. Perhaps, Mary frm Perth can verify 2this hah? Sounds more Singlish (or Hongkish) 2me than Aussie! Why like dat one??

Hi Lily
Ronald Lee is also in.
Hi Andrew,
I am still in Singapore.
My words “When invited, sure come” still stands. Not the “want, then don’t want” and long winded type. A word is a word.
Just let me have the time and place, I be there.
Cheers.
Hi Ivy
Cheong is singlish for “ram”, “go for it” “the heck care..” “just do it” “ngah, ngah, lai” Hope this doesn’t confuse you more!
Hi Lily
Waiting your information.
Hi Yew Kwong, Ronald Lee and Wi
Where are you?
I read many “cheong(s)” here and there. Wot does not mean, huh? Pardon me, I’m quite outdate with singlish.
Hi Guest,
We are not thinkg of cheong every nites la.. like Lily had mentioned earlier, it is definitely not the place or smoke that get us going to cheong, it is the company of frens that who are we going with.
BTW, pls leave your name when signing off so at least we know who you are meh.. rite??
Ok – Rene, Dolly, Andrew and Lily Ho going to Dragonfly on eve of Vesak Day (ie. 30 May). Any one else coming?
We will arrange for time and place to meet closer to that date.
all those clubbing place so unhealthy breathing in 2nd hand smoke.with all those smokers there smoking away so unpleasant.Spoil the fun
Andrew, pls put yr hand down and put it up again only after you’ve shaved. (Shame shame).
Patrick reading, can you not see a very good biz opportunity here with no capital outlay?
We have a group of SHC ladies, coy but energised, still love to gaylek gaylek to the pulsating beats of hard rock, somewhat budget conscious, feel a bit out of place with younger crowds at pubs, some dont drive…….So if you can find them a place nearer home, cheaper that will make a very lucrative biz for you.
Yes, go sell the idea of setting aside 1 day every week as Ladies Nite to kopishop operators. If you succeed, there’ll only be gals sitting in coffee shops say, every wednesday nite drinking tiger beer from the bottle ($6 for 1 large bottle, cheaper than $12 for 1 teeny wheeny drink in pubs), dancing, screaming, clapping, even the kopi sors join in, wow, what a sight ! And the mood can be very infectious.
Imagine the whole of spore’s coffee shops doing it. And imagine what money you can make from yr advisory. Absolutely no capital outlay. Ai mai?
Hi Ladies
I put my hand up first.
Hi Lily
If confirm on the eve of Vesak Holiday or Fri, 1 Jun. On lah!
Hello, 4 knights & other SHC clubbers
Have a show of hands? please!
Rene
Hi Pheng Sok,
Aiyo, I reli dun like DXO leh eventhough ladies nite is on Friday with free drinks lor..
Hi Lily,
OK, on lah.. we will cheong on May 30 since next day is a holiday. Agreed totally company of buddies is vry impt rather than venue lor… Dolly
Hallo Rene,
I have to get up at 6:30am to send my daughter to school too.
Sat is out for me. Tue to Thur I can go after 10pm. Since Dolly also prefer Fri or eve of PH, how about Wed,30 May, eve of Vesak day? or Fri,1 Jun?
The venue is not important to me, but the company is ^.^ I would love to spend time with you and Dolly, and also, the 4 knights or servants or whatever …!! I’ve yet to meet JuneLim.
Hi DOLLY I read ur abv comment that u prefer 2cheong on Fri nites. Perhaps u may want 2try DXO where it’s Ladies Nite n free drinks Fri nites. D only problem is that u might feel like a fish out of water as most of d clients r youngsters. However, if u go in a group of Golden Girls u may not be dat obvious. Golden Boys need 2pay 4d drinks tho. Best
Hi Lily,
Regret I can’t join you ladies on weekday nites ‘cos have to get up at 6:30am the next day.
Maybe possible if the next day is a Public Holiday.
Have fun and enjoy.
Rene
Hi Lily,
My most preferred nite to cheong is always on Fri nite as I am not working on Sat. Though I also preferred Sat nite but we are still thinking of going Dragonfly, then we beta skip Sat nite as too crowded.
Thanks Lily and I m forever grateful to you for making me understand what “lol” really means…..always thot it meant “lei ou lor”.
Andrew, you’re my brother so if Lily kicks me, you will be quick to shield me with yr butt….afterall, you’re a gallant knight, some kind of a hum servant, a shortman or having it “shorted” somewhere……right? Hehe, play with you 2morow, got to study with my kiddo (exam) liao.
Hi Lily
Sorry, I cannot make it on this Tuesday. Hope the 3 swordmen can (now Ronald Lee has already put his hand up).
Hi Tim
Why you still appear in this posting. Doesn’t afraid to be kicked by Lady Lily again or you like it?
lol = short for ‘laugh out loud’, in case “out-dateds” people dun no what it mean.
Hello, hello, sorry everyone,
I keep thinking that 8/5 is one week away. 2moro nite is a too soon to make arrangement. (Thanks Dolly for your “subtle” reminder.) But post your interest here anyway. For eg. interested in going, prefererably on …(state the night/s of preference)… Any suggestion/idea welcome, right June? Dolly? Rene? anyone? hellooo? (Sorry, my mind not working very well today).
Tim Liu,
You’ve made me lol again. Sometimes I get so mad at you or find you so irritating. But at last, it’s not easy to stay angry with you for long. Can you please not be so disgustingly “hum sarp” on a public website?
Lily, say what you like.
As far as the dance floor is concerned, knight always has a very high status, “Lag Gu”, Mah. “Chu….Meh”.
That is also make me believed that it was the ladies who invented the line-dance.
You Kwong, since you’re making photocopies of yrself, can I order 10k copies for my butties who are facing collection problems lately. With the O $ P $ written next to yr mouth, the resultant fright will be more than what a decree from hades can do. No problem, we will paste it all over the island and so fulfilled yr “I would love ….. at places of your choice.” wish.
Andrew, in spite of our sworn brotherhood 1,000 years ago, you are so easily coaxed to don the offbeat armour & abandon yr brother.
Well, so sad, another case of zhung sik heng yow (heavy in color [as in a color-wolf], light in friendship). Wait till the day when they turn this humber servant you into a numbed servant bitten by serpents and kicked by the horse you led; then & only then will you realise you’re in a very dangerous place where neither swordmen or shortmen can protect you. Then you’ll bawl & cry, thinking of this tim ah liu brother.
Tim ah pek will find a good day when he can be inspired in a house that gives him the power to write his memoir…….a 1-page profile is child’s play which of cos can be bait to getting a piece of action in a powerhouse.
Hee, Lily pretty, just bcos tim ah liu declines to be a numbed servant or shortman, that makes him not a man huh?
If you ask him to take you to the macritchie park, even very late at nite, and he demurs then, promise you, he’ll go to Thailand and return to show you that he isn’t a man anymore. Deal……..we power ourselves at macritchie on the very nite they thump their hearts and innards at the powerhouse? We’ll watch & count fireflies while they chase the dragon as they fly & get high. And whether we go at 8pm or midnite, the drinks are priced the same, @ $1.30 for a can, and we can gulp 10 drinks for the nite while they struggle with slow sips.
For now, no question that the other 2 Rs are men………….we line up side by side at the firing range and I can tell you, none of us had to squat.
Hi Lily,
You can try to call up Dragonfly at 62707676 to reserve a table which normally they will allowed. But not 2 sure whether tomorow can anot lor..
Yew Kwong, Andrew and the 2 Ronalds – it’s great that you guys are coming along to this dance night out.
A big thank you to Yew Kwong for being man enough to take the first lead, followed by Andrew, who is right about some people who only talk. A little disappointed with the 2Rs who need to be “invited” – aren’t you men?
JuneLim, it seems like many of us can’t wait till June. Lets finalise this shall we? Those interested in going this Tuesday, 8/5/07 to Dragonfly @ St James Power Station (opp. Vivo City – Harbour Front MRT), please post your name here and we’ll take a head count.
Free entry to Dragonfly before 9pm (just pay for drink), I expect the queue will be long. Therefore, meet at 8-8.30pm in front of SJPS (Dragonfly entrance is at the back.)
Those who come after 9pm, just pay to get in – Ladies $10, Guys $12 (incl. 1 drink).
Celebrate World Red Cross Day – Lets have fun and do a good deed at the same time. Thank you Ann, for the information.
Anybody else coming? It’s only one week away !! Terence, will you be in town?
tim ah pek tell us yr profile leh
Another exciting update: Celebration on World Red Cross Day on Tuesday, 8/5/07 at St James Power Station. Free entry to Dragonfly before 9pm, and gain access to the other pubs. After 9pm, Ladies $10, Guys $12, with 1 complimentary drink.
However, 10% of all proceeds for the night will be donated to Red Cross.
Enjoy yourselves, and do a good deed…
You are so funny, Tim. You sound so serious leh.
Sorry hor, I don’t go temple on Vesak Day, so have no worries about falling asleep every 3 steps. If you do, think you better bring along your pillow, take a step and take a nap… ha..ha… since traffic will definitely be heavy.
Haha,
I have been reading all your comments and want to join in the fun. Count me in!
Catherine
Hi Ronald Lee
Sure, you’re the knight. If another Ronald also come, then we have 3 swordmen and 1 humble servant.
Hi Andrew,
When invited, sure come. I am always on the ball.
Under one condition, I be the knight and not the servant.
Deal? If YES……”ON lah”.
Hi Yew Kwong
At last, the white knight emerged (Don’t like Tim, only talk, talk …. to make our lady Lily very angry and kick him out)
I also waited so long, now I want to be your humber servant, leading your horse, to that very dangerous place to protect all our dancing lady. Can I?
Hey, buddies, Ronald Lee and Wi, how about you two. Must follow Yew Kwong leh!!!
As “rene2888 Says: just one guy … of having all SHC females to keep him accompany. Looks damn “cool” man.”
I shall make photocopies of myself. Photocopy or original, the choice is yours.
I would love to join you gals at places of your choice.
Dolly, you know smthg, to be yr gallant knights, it will give us guys many gammy nites thereafter. Also, we’ll hv to make many sacrifices………mr Alr will forgo at least 10k from trading in the Dubai spot & futures market selling camels, mr Adr will not get to spend quality time with his son, telling him why yueh fei’s mom had inscribed words of patriotism on his back……and more.
While you gals get the treat of 5 free drinks, we’ll hv to make do with 5 guys to 1 drink to save $.
Anyhow, too late, our most genuine offer is withdrawn since Lily has dismissed it as deserving the butt out. Sob sob…….
Hey Tim Liu,
You really the “saliva more than tea” leh. If you are not interested to go clubbing with us, then butt out of this column.!
Aiyo..Ah Tim, y shd 2 ly-s need SHC guys just go n yawn only har so sar feng jing le… tis kind of mutual help mai la. Xie xie alot bu kan ling jiao… rite.. Lily…
So the thickly wrapped & tightly guarded secret is out……….apparently, the 2 ly-s only hv 1 guy each who, despite their powerful legs, wd only accompany the dames to the wet wet markets and wont whet their appetites at the powerhouse.
In SHC we guys walk our talk of mutual help so we will put ourselves on standby even if it means we will yawn thru’out the nite from deprived sleep.
Btw, “wet wet h2o” is wrong hor………….”wet wet shreds” is correct. See, another instance of a SHC guy helping a SHC gal to speak good imperial cantonese.
Wow Lily, your input on St James reli good le…
If PowerHse only hv techno music then I beta omit this one lor.. techno 2 chim 4 me….
Normally, my kakis went there b4 9pm @ DragonFly to chop a nice plc to watch the live performance and dancing. Coupled with the fact, the buy 1 get 1 free during the happy hour time slot lor… and we usually stay there till going home time lor..
But I was told that we can call up to reserve a table but so far I hv yet to try lor..
Another alternative is taking advantage of the ladies nite @ Wed at PowerHse n move to other venue for the dancing lor… Wat say you, ladies har??
Lily, 1 guy to tag along to MOS with u, wet wet h2o, right no big deal hor….. but I dont really like to go to MOS lor…
Rene,
Only need 1 guy? OK! No problem … Dolly hor?
If Dolly’s guy is out of town, I’ll bring one.
Heeee, wait long long also dont have, SHC men all very the steady type, very lak-gu hor. Not our fault, the queue just keep increasing, a lot of overnite queueing, tell them not to also cannot, so how?
Maybe we will relent and (dont say hor) give some preferential treatment this time…………….Andrew, Patrick, Terence, Allrounder, Ron, Robert, Kenneth, Yew Kwong………………..and of cos the maverick who will come with his dog, ai mai?
Hi Lily
What i meant was..at least a guy will do not each lady bring her man. Just one guy, whether from SHC or not and he has the privilege of having all SHC females to keep him accompany. Looks damn “cool” man.
Hi Ladies
I went to St.James on Monday night to check out the place. There were 12 of us and we made our entry at about 11pm. (Sorry for not reporting sooner, as I also had dancing marathon on Tuesday and had slept through both mornings.) Here’s my report on St.James :
Being eve of public holiday, the place was totally packed.
There were a handful of clubs for dancing : Dragonfly, Boiler Room, Movida, Mono, Power House – all with live band. We went club hopping but everywhere was ‘standing room’ only.
We also went through a handful of bars for drinking only – no dancing. Mono, Bellini, Gallery Bar, etc. (Didn’t see any Karaoke.)
Among the dancing places, I like Movida best. It’s salsa latino music, very sexy and danceable. Dragonfly comes second for me with Mandarin/Canto-pop and DJ-ed English songs when the band takes their break. I do not recommend Power House unless you like techno music.
Amongst the bars, I like Gallery best. It’s DJed music and you can watch the crowd dancing (prancing) below in Movida and Boiler Room through the fibre-glass walls on both sides.
Entry on weekends and eve of public holiday is $15 for one drink. Like MOS, pay for 1 entry and you can gain entry to the rest but can only redeem your drink from the first one.
Parking : Park at Vivo City yourself @ $2.90 per entry or valet parking @ $5 + $2.90. Valet parking is great except for the delay in getting your car when you leave. Waiting for the valet to collect our car took about 30mins. Taxis are plenty.
I didn’t see any jazz and golden oldies either at Bellini or anywhere else. There are quite a few open air bars which are actually outdoor extensions of the pub, but I didn’t see any live band/musicians.
Our group of 12 got splitted up many times and finally re-united at Movida by hphone. JuneLim, if you are planning to go with 30 people, I suggest we go in by 10.30pm and just stay in one place. We can then take turn to move around. (Sorry June, nobody goes clubbing at 8.30pm unless you plan to open up the place for them.)
As for Rene’s suggestion to go on Ladies Nite to MOS : if we MUST bring a guy along, then each of us ladies bring our own man, that would be ok – right? If you wait for the SHC guys to volunteer, you can wait long long.
After 5 free drinks (at nite somemore when you hardly perspire) you’ll be so hightide that you just wanna squat and not square up with the boogies.
Btw, going on the eve of vesak day isnt good at all…….the next morning when you take the bow for every 3 steps, you might fall asleep after 2 bows and hold up traffic, so much so that the pub will hv to shut down all power stations in future just b4 vesak day.
Hi Dolly
I agree… It’s a waste if we don’t try Wed ladies nite @ Power House. What about on 30 May (Wed)? as next day is Vesak Day – holiday – a good chance to let your hair down. :)p
Hi All,
With ref to Ann’s info… like that we beta go on Wed to enjoy thos feebies lor.. What say you??
Got this info from a friend, thought may be useful:
There’s Ladies Night on Wednesday at Power House, 5 complimentary drinks per lady. As St James under one management, apparently can move from disco to disco, but drinks only at Power House.
Those of us who love jazz and golden oldies, would be more comfortable at Bellini and Movida, or just hang out at Peppermint Park (open air) to listen to live band/musicians.
Prices on weekdays still $10 (lady) and $15 (gentleman), but additional $5 over weekends.
Dragonfly very in demand, as most members hang out there, and they are very loaded and tend to drink too much, and fights often erupted over there…. flush with money, and so awash with liquor, and so cannot have bruised egos, and so fight, fight, fight…
Hope info suffice. May join in if not too costly, and music nice…as not able to dance well, perhaps to just shake, shake.
Hi June,
Like I said b4 I only bn to Dragonfly so if u want me to pick, I will pick Dragonfly only lor… pls go to the website for more details http://www.stjamespowerstation.com then perhaps we can come to a final conclusion lor…
Hi Lily, I remember paying $10 the last time for 1 drink but was told by a gf, price increase liao so need to check this out if this outing is on lor…
Hi June, tim ah liu is an outright out-tak otak so it’s out of his depth in this belly-hop thingy. Even if he wants to watch you people jump, bump, shake, gaylek and do everything so……….(you know what), he cant cos the bouncers will soon throw him out for flooding the danz floor with his drool.
But if you want to play rugby, anytime. tim ah liu will stand there to let you tackle him 10 time b4 he tackles you 1 time. Want?
Hi Dolly
think u more hip than sua ku me…perhaps u decide where in St James we should go…however no jazz, no funky metallic music whre one shakes the head like crazy, no life performance, no karaoke. Just good music to dance to, to work up a sweat :-))Ah Nee came up with StJames whn I was asking her where we should go for a dance. Blur blur me thot St James is the discotheque :-)))) Love crowds. Love to get lost in crowds esp on the dance floor.
Dolly, you been there few times, perhaps you can recommend, bcos we “sua Ku” never been there….a bit blur leh. Since this is our first outing to disco, we don’t mind try anything that aunties and uncles enjoy leh…..music and songs in the 80s’would be nice loh! what think you?
Hi June,
You still did not let me know what venue at St James you are going le… There are at least 5 or 6 plcs under St James, i.e. Dragonfly, Boiler Room, Movida, Mono, Bellini playing music from R&B, rock, jazz and retro and I think Mono is meant for karaoke and Bellini is more for jazz.
You must at least hv 1 venue in place first mah so that you can call up to reserve a table even you are thinkg of getg at 30paxs especially u plan for fri nite lor… Dolly
PS: So far for St James, I only bn to Dragonfly which they hv live performance by some local singers/dancers coupled with William Scorpion and Sly Sim at certain time slot. Music was not too bad for dancing but very crowded esp on weekends.
Hope we hve more response over the weekend. For now only:
AhNee
Nor
Susan
Molly

Tim…u in or out? :-)
I hope to get at least 30 boys and girls..ahem :-) to make the GRAND entrance. Number is strength. Strength is POWER!!! :-)))
Hi,
Would love to join y’all. Whether I still have the stamina remains to be seen. No matter!!
MOS on Ladies night sounds good. Power house in June after MOS….Whatever….let me know.
TKS……Jie
Guys, read what Nee & Rene have written? See, no sweat, so quickly surrendered liao………Long live Guys 1 Viva Monsieurs ! Lalalalala………..bububububu………….
Hi June,
Which place in St James are you planning to go har?? There are couple of them le??
Hi all,
For those who couldn’t wait till June. Here is another good new. MOS (Ministry of Sound) is another discotheque place to unwind. There are about 5 dance floors catered for various age group. Young or not so young, you will not be left out. Every Wednesday is’ Ladies nite. FREE Admission for all ladies but have to drag a guy along (no worry guys) you only pay for yourself and you got lots of female companies. Sound like a good deal eh?
June, with Lily around, you can rest assured it will be a wonderful night. Lily, it would be more fun if the men can join in too, its not “lady’s night / aunties’ night” leh. So men out there we also welcome you all to join us. Where is Dolly…..Hello Dolly well hello !!!
Guys, dont just sit back and moan. While the aunties, ah sohs all doll up to meet senor james, we will go tg balai to see lulu, lili, lucy, mary. 2 exciting nites later, drained but shiok, we go home and will see a bowing line of wives, gfs doing us the kowtow, promising that they wont dare again go to any powerhouse but stay in the house for us to power over.
Haha, All the aunties are going to St.James to power the house. Without children in tow, husbands got to kowtow. JuneLim, I am in. Yeah ! ^o^
Hi Lily
btw I heard u are the Dancing Queen :-). Ok, no occasion, just felt like dancing with people of my age grup. Frankly, hve not entered a pub or club (my time known as discotheque) for a long long ZZzzzzzz time. So know nuts abt this St James place. I hope to get as many SHClubbers as possible so that we can make a GRAND entrance and shock the young ones :-)). Why June? Bec of the school holidays, some of our fellow clubbers do hve school going children. Thot these parents would be able to make it whn their children are on holiday, no need to chaffeur them to tuition classes, ECA etc etc.
Hi June
As promise, Ah Nee, Nor & myself will be there to give you moral support for this 1st boogie nite, even though I don’t know how to dance very well. Its for experience after all these years…..never been to one disco for more than 20 years ! Really sua-ku ! Yes, pls include Molly too. I know she is game for that.
Dear June,
I am interested. Kindly give more details such as, what is the occasion? Any minimum cover charge/maximum no. of people going? Why does it have to be in June? Can we go anytime unless there is an event/activity going on, on that day? You need to provide more info in your posting.
Hello June,
We will be there! boogie…boogie…………..
Lily, can we do the Saturday Night fever there?
Night fever…Night fever………
See us on 15 Jun 07…Norlinda, Susan, Ann and me !
