Happy Guns

Satisfaction

Nobody really aspires for wealth. Ultimately, it's contentment we're looking for, just that some of us might not know it yet. And we all seek contentment in different forms. Some find it in wealth and power, some find it in sex and drugs. Some find it in the simple things in life, yet some find it in the midst of chaos. We are all different, yet very much similar.

“我是不是很没用？”

“是，你是。
为了保护兄弟而被打，你是。
为了守护着你老大最后一份尊严，你是。
为了选择不逃避，一个人撑，你是。
我从来没有见过一个这么没有用的人。”

不声又不响，
也只有沉默。
我伸出的手，
悬挂在半空。

只想你明白，
希望你会懂，
并不是独自承受。

From the movie "歲月" by Boi Kwong.

PHUKET (2)

Continuation of the Phuket trip with the Homies.

Part Three: Birthdays

First, a birthday tribute to 2 of the birthday boys during the trip, Matt and Shannon. Birthdays are a very important part of a person's life because without a birthday, one would not have been born.

Shannon trying to hide his boner when they surprised him with the birthday cake.

Matt was relatively more prepared for his cake.

Part Four: Shopping And Shenanigans

Didn't actually do as much shopping as expected but it's alright. The stuff there are pretty much the same everywhere. It's only a matter of finding the shop with the lowest prices. You will also see the gentler side of some of us. Not me cos I'm tough as fuck.

Shannon's gentle head tilt. I'm still tough, as you can see.

Matt the ladyboy

Hello Kitty shop. For gentle people.

Three irritating faces. Mine isn't here because I do not have an irritating face.

Flower power gentle nat.

Gentle Gabe

Satisfied our hunger for spending money on things we probably won't use that much.

Part Five: Nightlife!

In my opinion, a holiday destination is only as fun as it's nightlife. And in the case of Phuket, it's exciting as fuck. With strip joints and girlie bars, not forgetting regular clubs and cheap alcohol, Phuket is almost heavenly. Too bad we couldn't get pictures of the strip clubs, would've been nice though.

First night clubbing

Nat the pole dancer

Along Bangla Road

With Thai girl

Psychedelic Rastafarian bar.

Gabe and Nat. Mini-me.

Matt doesn't like Sambuca.

All the alcohol in the world.

Leaving our mark everywhere we go.

PHUKET (1)

Just got back from Phuket a few days ago. My body may be here but my heart and soul remains there. Gonna take a while before I get adjusted back to the fact that I have work and school. Here are some pictures from the trip. You'll get why I don't wanna come back.

Prologue: The ride to the hotel

My finger makes its debut.

Naomi's thinking face

Excitement level was high. (Hansen's irritating face lol)

Part One: Food, Glorious Food.

Eating is an integral part of our lives. Which is why when we hit foreign shores, trying the local cuisine is a must-do. I'd say at least 50% of our expenditure was spent on food, snacks and eating in general. That's probably also because alcohol is so cheap there.

PUB(IC)

I don't think this really counts as local cuisine but that was a motherfucking good steak.

Muthaf-ing good steak.

Thai BBQ/steamboat.

Matt's irritating face

Seafood dinner on Cam and Nat's last night.

Matt relaxing after a satisfying meal.

And who could forget the street hawkers. Food that promises diarrhea and various digestive ailments? Bring it on.

Part Two: Fun In The Sun

Phuket is pretty much one big beach, or at least everyone there dresses like they're at the beach. Plus, if you're on vacation anywhere, you've gotta hit the beaches (unless it's winter then that wouldn't be very ideal).

Welcome

Para-sailing, jet-skiing and banana boats.

Donna-Mae made an animal friend.

Cherie's nom face.

Soaking up a little bit of sun.

Spacing out on the beach because it was THAT relaxing.

Sunset

Stay tuned for part 2 of the trip. Pictures of clubbing, drinking and various shenanigans will be available soon. Pinky promise.

I ♥ DUBSTEP TURNS ONE!

Put on your party hats, because it’s time to celebrate I ♥ Dubstep’s very first birthday! The 31st of March marks a very special occasion for local underground nightspot, Home Club. With a free flow promotion for Melchers beer from 10 to 11pm, as well as dirty bass drops all night long, this is a birthday party not to be missed.

Happy birthday, I ♥ Dubstep!

Home Club’s I ♥ Dubstep was started by ex-Home Club DJ Ming exactly one year ago. Since then, it’s been an ongoing monthly event that never fails to attract throngs of dubheads (dubstep enthusiasts). Who knew that dubstep would become such a major hit in Singapore?

Since the free flow of beer started, the crowd just kept growing. By midnight, the whole club was almost filled with bopping heads and gyrating bodies. Guys dancing with girls they’ve never met before, and girls dancing with other girls. It was truly a sight to behold.

The decks at Home were dominated all night by resident dubstep DJs Reiki, Jerls, and Darren Dubwise. Dishing out sick drops and wicked wobbles, the turntable-meisters kept the crowd’s kicks pumped up all night long.

Youngest of the trio, 22 years-old DJ Jerls started his affair with electronic music about four years ago. It happened when he was playing in a band that incorporates electronic elements in their music. This sparked his interest in dance music, such as drum ‘n bass, techno and of course, dubstep.

If anyone had to use one word to describe his or her first impression of DJ Jerls, it’d probably be “brutal”. With both his arms filled up with tattoos, Jerls could look very daunting at first. Don’t let the ink fool you, though. Beneath the amazingly decorated shell lies a humble, gentle and very friendly center.

Despite spinning for an underground club like Home Club, Jerls has always kept an open mind when it comes to different types and genres of music.

“I don’t dislike any genres, in fact, I’ve been listening to ‘Boomerang’ by DJ Felli Fel,” said Jerls with a cheeky smile. For the lesser informed, Boomerang is a top 40 chart hit featuring rappers Pitbull and Akon. Some might deem it too mainstream for a Home Club DJ to enjoy, but not Jerls.

Armed with a can of silly string each, party-goers celebrated I ♥ Dubstep’s first year of existence with a string war amongst each other. By the end of the night, the whole club was filled with silly string and happy, albeit drunk faces. After all, what’s a party without some chaos?

To quote that one particular dubstep track, “Wubwubwub brrrrr WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP.”

Wubwub indeed.

Deadlines etc.

We were given approximately 2 weeks to find a story news-worthy enough to cover. It's been more than a week already and the event is tonight.

And the cherry on top of the cake? The deadline is tomorrow.

Ashley's Last Day

I know it's been a long time since my last post and I can't afford to make up anymore excuses about me being busy. I'm just lazy, really. Anyway, here are the pictures from Ashley's last day as a civilian. He's been in Tekong for almost two weeks now and apparently he's enjoying himself there so that's good.

The pictures here were taken at Home Club just before I went down to Butter and I have to admit, I was not sober at all by the time I left Home Club. Good times, good times.
