SOS & Defected Records @ ZOUK OUT, Singapore
Tired. Confused. Lurgy. Cough. Painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Sleep.
Did we sleep??? A little. Feeling numb but ok, time to get out and see some of this mental city. Whilst chowing on some crazy noodles the other day, a lovely gentleman chatted to us and recommended we visit the botanical gardens, so we head out on foot…bad idea, 35ºC heat, muggy, and stupidly tired…not a great combo. But we think it’s about 30 mins away so no stress. Didn’t realise that the gardens are 156 acres and we’d be completely worn when we get there from walking! Anyway, saw some stunning plants, gardens, lakes, waterfalls, ORCHIDS! Oh my god the orchids. Nick and Gavin we’re also out and about on sight seeing trip, so they met us at the gardens and we spent the rest of the day with them checking stuff out…went to the bay, took lots of pics, met some crazy guys we had met at the festival in the bay, Nick did some video shooting with them which they LOVED! Did some shopping, man the shops here are mental, I’m a bit of a cooking freak so spent most of the time in the kitchen ware department…WOW…the best knives, space ship noodle makers, giant woks, millions of unidentified electric appliances, steamers, hotpots…WOW I’M IN HEAVEN! I wont tell you what I bought as it won’t make sense…you have to see it to believe it! Hahahaha - shopping paradise…seriously and not expensive either…especially when spending Defected prize money THANK YOU DEFECTED!
Left the boys to get back to their hotel before airport, as did we, picked up the luggage and headed straight off to the airport. Our flight is delayed, so we jammily get transferred to an earlier flight, but have to pretty much RUN! Got there just in time, and saw that it was the same flight as Nick and Shovell – result! Had more laughs with them on flight, watched some of the party footage on Nick’s laptop, exchanged pics and stories and got some necessary rest. Gary got really ill on the flight, so I let him have all the seats to lie down…and upgraded myself to premium YEAH…bugged the lads for a little more then passed out…the journey was over in no time…but we still have 3 hours in Heathrow which was FREEZING and everything was closed and annoying. Just want to be home in our own bed…eventually we hit the “tierra madre” Spain…at last…what a ride…time to sleep and dream sweet memories of the best weekend of our lives…
Thank you Defected, you have made us the happiest most blessed people in house music. FOR THE LOVE OF HOUSE, FOR THE LOVE OF BEATS, FOR THE LOVE OF DANCE BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
