Chris Hen do Highlight

I had a very memorable "Hen do", thank you for the organisers MC, Mandy and Cindy...Everything went well except for the little drama while checking-in...apparently the agent booked us in two different date rather than rooms and the hotel was overbooked...Gosh...we were then blessed with a two rooms apartment instead

The Cafe de Paris club is one of the best club in West End that I been to..well done on spotted such a great atmosphere club...MC, Cindy & Mandy. Cool, we started our booze marathon with 2 bottles of frizze with nibbles followed by "cold dipped penis" straw mangoes cooktail..hey, its "Hot" there, right!
We proceed to colour me beautiful...fun make up session...Thanks MC for doing my brilliant make up...we looked drop death gorgeous with our dress to kill and heels...worth the pain!

We had a burlesque taster classes (30 minutes) and we learnt few burlesques tricks ..too challenging for the sock burlesque now but its fun learning all the burlesques. Finally, I was honoured to do a burlesques walk with the other Hen. The Wam Bam Club cabaret show is excellent...absolutely fantastic performance. Thumb up for the Hula Boy, Lady Alex, Sex bomb and gold finger ladies and not forgetting the stand up comedian Jason Wood, Wam Bam belles and lots more..the three bendy burlesque belles and the very atheltic Lady...wowww..wow!
Despite of the strict rules on no hen/stag wear but we managed to bring my sparky red Devil trident (fork) outrightly in.

Cindy won the GBP200 bottle of Absolute Vodka lucky-draw, this was the most expensive spirit mixer that I ever had in club..Cindy, thank you for sharing with us. Don't let the lady luck slipped through this Friday's EuroMillion 85 Millions Jack pot...good luck, everyone.

Unbelievable, 6 of us finished the 700ml vodka in 3 hours...wow hands up or even feets up..without hangover...afterall we had 2 bottles of frizze and 3 bottles of white wine. Hey, girls we drank like fish...normally my alcohol consumption is a small glass (125ml) of red wine with meal...Well done, all.
We party till 2:30am in the club then had supper at Hung's Leicester Square to line our acidic stomach...sHHhhh..! Then, everyone felt contented with the supper and back to apartment for a beauty sleep.

MC surprised us by spotting a Chinese supermarket after jogging in Hype Park, nice "choy sum" with noddles! Then we had our fine silver dining in one of Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's Mayfair Hotel. I was overwhelmed by the trendy and expensive furnishing in the dining room and the entire hotel. Its an eye opening decoration. We had a very leisurely 3 hours Sunday lunch till 5pm. Ooops, we did it again by pamphering ourselves..

Looking forwards for part 2 of the party goes on...Indulgent Pamper Day at Aquilla Health and Fitness club at London's Knightbridge. We suggested either first weekend of October or any September weekends before Rene's flying back to Malaysia, Sophie to Switzerland and Pat to New York City mid October. I can make it any weekends.

My Hen Do

Gosh...I feel really exited and butterfly in my stomach...phew...what surprise will I get from my lovely girlfriends and sisters for organising a "Chris's Dress To Kill" (without weapon) hen do. We have theme such as, "dress to kill with floral ornaments" Saturday night and "angelic whiteness" Sunday lunch...thank you all for such a memorable singleton send off.
By the way, we'll stayed in London's apartment for the weekend (12th and 13th September)...everyone bring nibble and booze...hey, hey... hang over, etc...cosy dinner and lunch but no other information on the "surprise" bit...Got to act like a Diva or Drama Queen at the grand entrance...bit challenging to me! There are girls rules (punishments for offender) and exchanging sexy gift for everyone!
