Gotcha for J&E!

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Singapore/Club 58- For those of you who are wondering if Mr J and Miss E are a couple, wonder no more as Razzi news has got confirmation (actually a slip of the tongue) by Miss E herself. For those who are wondering who Mr J and Miss E are, well, if you do not know, that means it’s not for you to know. :P Mr P has advised me to use anonymous names for my victims to remain anonymous so that I won’t get murdered at night. Anyway, as you might all have known, Mr J and Miss E has been playing catch-us-if-you-can and the yes-you-are-a-couple, no-we-are-not game. Credit to them, they have left us guessing for a long time whether they are together. In fact, club 58 members are rooting for them to be together.  As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and there is no tsunami without earthquake. If you guys have noticed (if you don’t, it means either you are a postman (eyes tak stamps) or you are living in Iraq or being big foot hiding in the mountains), look at the way they dance, especially bachata, you can feel FIRE, (hmm fire is too strong, wait sekali burned them out), the connection between them. As you all know, Bachata is a dance of love, and indeed true to its roots, you can feel the love, the passion growing and emitting from them when they dance. (guess after this blog, a lot of ppl will be fixing their eyes on J&E whenever they dance). Also, if you notice, they both like to use the word "rubbish". I wonder , who learned it from who first. But I recently asked Miss E, and she said that she used the word long ago. So I guess, it’s Mr J who learned from Miss E.

All being said and done, however, you need proof of the existence of a relationship between them. For example, in the case of Tarcie and Michael ( btw, these 2 have disappeared or either migrated to somewhere as they literally disappeared into thin air) bo dai bo ji holding hands in union. And Terence and Serene, who openly declared they are a couple. Razzi news has hounded J&E since the dawn of eve and adam but failed to get anything out of them. I guess, their favourite pastime when they were kids is to play dumb for when you asked them, are you guys a couple, they will give you the *blur and huh!? look* and says, "no we ain’t. We are good friends." But interestingly enough, the signs are telling, for example, the electrifying and romantic connection between them when dancing, the delivering and sending back of Miss E home, although 1 lives in the east and one lives in the south. Oh well, I can almost hear them say,"On the way to union mah." My bro, all roads in Singapore leads to union. But only one road in the southern part of the island leads to your heart.

Also, we have a reliable source who wishes to call himself Mr P in witnessing an incident which finally ended their hide and seek game. He and a certain Miss C were having teo-chew mueh at Henderson on 06/10/06. It was mid autumn festival, full moon, romantic night. And it was somewhat quite late. While they are eating, with all the food on the table (this is important, you must note that there are food on the table), the roving and ever-alert eyes of Mr P caught something. He dropped his tao gua, refocuses, zoom in and saw a suspicious couple holding hands. He couldn’t be sure, what if he got it wrong? What if it isn’t them? A rush of adrenaline rushes into his blood. He camouflages himself, went into the leopard crawl, took out his binoculars. And Yes, target confirmed. It’s J&E holding hands. Ho Seh Liao, he knows that all efforts will come to naught if he didn’t capture the kodak moment. He ransacked his bag for a camera, shit, dun have, he asked Miss C for her hp quickly, Miss C was still happily munching on her tao gua, oblivious to the frantic actions of Mr P or mabbe she is too used to this kind of kan-cheong mandi actions of Mr P that she just can’t be bothered. When he finally got the camera, *#@*%, they are no longer holding hands. So Mr P and Miss C just lie low in the shadows, like a cheetah stalking its prey, waiting to catch them in the act again. But J&E are no walkovers, my guess is that they noticed P&C were there as well and they decided to act nonchalantly and walk over to P&C and says,"Hi, such a coincidence, what are you 2 doing here?" (Give them a good acting award, ppl. Bro, they are in a coffeshop, they have the food on the table, P&C are holding their chopsticks and spoons and you asked a million dollar question… "hi what are you 2 doing here?") *SILENCE* *Miss C and Mr P looks at their food and looks at J&E* I think in their mind, they are thinking,"what else could we be doing here in a teochew mueh coffeshop?"

Well, you could say, J&E are just meeting up for supper, that doesn’t mean anything. Yeah, of cos, it doesn’t mean anything. But, will you come from the East to have supper with someone in the South? That signifies that distance isn’t a factor for a couple in love. And that they are holding hands (and its not on the dancefloor) means that they are dating. Now, don’t tell me they are holding hands and going to dance ok? You don’t dance in a bloody coffeeshop.  Ok, mabbe the floor is slippery and Mr J, being a gentleman, holds her delicate hand to prevent her from falling.

Ok, fair enough, so we sincerely asked Miss E when they started. She die die , live live won’t admit. Kudos to her for being tight lipped or mabbe she is shy. Manz, what’s there to be shy about? Miss E is a good lady and Mr J is a fine man. You couldn’t ask for more and club 58 members are waiting and rooting in anticipation of them being together till their hair grows white. Thus, our reporter hounded her for more information, throwing leads, baits in the hope of catching her in a slip of the tongue and the break through finally came.

Reporter: Miss E, when did you 2 started?

Mr T : I tell you, they started before me.

Miss E: where got? don’t anyhow guess hor. Rubbish.

Reporter : You know, we guessed that you 2 started when you 2 are dancing bachata, you 2 have the chemistry and connection leh. And he always send u to and fro from union. So our guess is that you 2 have already started then. Confirmed. Right guys?

Mr T and Mr P: Yeah!

Miss E: No leh, at that time, we are not a couple yet hor. *GOTCHA*

Miss E: huh? *pauses* *realization sets in* Dinooooooooooooooooooooo, you tricked me!!!!

Reporter: lalalalalala

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case :)

Club 58 members and well wishers, kindly give your accolades towards this new couple in the comments section. :)

Cheers,
Dinorazzi.

FootNote: J &E, the purpose of this post is not to embarass you 2.
It’s never my intention to do that. :) It’s for all of us who knows you to be happy for you 2 and to share your joy. We have been waiting
for one hell of a time for you 2 to be together but we ain’t sure cos
you 2 are making it a low profile. and having us guessing. And I can’t post until I have confirmation that you 2 are together. And I only post the ppl I care
about, of whom I treated as my friends. And everyone is delighted that you
2 are together.

A tribute to Club 58 swansong salsa party.

Monday, October 2nd, 2006

Ecf5c7caSingapore/Club 58: Club 58 hosted its last summer (yeah, I know Singapore has no summer but it sounds nice) Salsa party on 15/09/06. Minister of Affairs, Hoi Hamsup has told us that it will be the last salsa party that Club 58 is hosting as the furniture for his business will be moving in soon and the newspapers will be torn down. Just in case you are wondering what kind of office and furniture it is, Club 58 is actually a "Gua Yang Tou Mai Gou Rou" office. It specialises in interior designing but it is actually a Hei Dian (Black Shop). Nevertheless, members of the club turned up in full force for a night of salsa,booze and games, in celebration of C58’s last salsa party.

Our reporter arrived at around 8:00pm. Every club has bouncer and a door B**** and C58 is no exception.Image8
They have a professional bouncer in the form of "Brutus" Jeremy. And the door B**** in the form of Tarcie as she is always sticking her head out of the door. It was later that we know she is not the door B**** but is looking out for her beau. Now, in order to gain access to the club, you do not have to pay any entrance fee. But you will have to surrender your handphone to the Brutus as shown in the pics on the left. The reason being this is that C58 don’t wish for you to be disturbed while dancing. Just imagine interrupting the dance with a call. Well, you can listen to the phone and dance at the same time but it’s kinda rude anyway. By the way, anyone of you who have lost their handphones, kindly claim it from Jeremy. He has informed me that there are a few handphones left uncollected.

The club also has the honour of having the comadre from the
China-salsa-cap imperial army as invited guest. It has sent a delegate, Evelyn Rachel Super Beginner (far left) as its represenative. After all the members have arrived, a group photo was taken and the party started in earnest with the members taking to the dance floor. Bachata, Rueda, Merengue, Salsa are the main dances of the night, with Artistic Director, Derence Hoi spinning the hot tracks from her DJ counter. Also, there are some members who indulged in playing the BIG FISH, SMALL FISH game as seen in the pictures below.

As the party progress,

we discovered that there are some HAPPY members who prefer broking their backs (think brokeback mountain) to one another. And the proud brokebackers are Jeremy (now we know all bouncers are Happy Ppl), Derence the Hum Sup, Amos the Frilly and Bryan the Backpoker. And this includes the ladies as well. Look at Christine and May going at it! Looks like brokeback fever has got to Club 58 after all.

Image11Also, we discovered that a member of Club 58 is a choreographer in his own er-xin  rights.  Here we have Patrick, a.k.a Patricia teaching Terence some choreographed moves he created. We looked and pondered at the moves over and over and our best best is that he is teaching Terence on how a chipamzee scratches his armpit, and plucking bananas or a chipamzee acting as a teapot? What do you think? Your guess is as good as ours.

All in all, the party ended at 4am plus and that marks the end of the last summer salsa party at Club 58. Everyone left for home , shag with rubbery legs but with dance-fond memories.

A BIG Thanks and a fitting Tribute to Terence Hoi HumSup, the Minister of Affairs of Club 58 for hosting numerous salsa parties and boozing tekan games. We still lives in fear of the small fish big fish but it does leaves us with a lot of funny moments to share and cherish. He has indeed, to quote his favourite phrase "Touches our hearts and tickles our balls" (Not applicable to ladies though). Although he is now being tekan by the fair ladies and macho guys of Club 58 for hanky-pankying with Serene, the golden girl, we believe he can tahan the tekan as he is "Tian Shen Fan Jian". But we believe the tekan will make him a better lover. Club 58 members hereby salutes you for a job well done. *SALUTE*

A Tale of Broken Glass

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

37131305052027l
Singapore :  Following hot on the trail of Tarcie and Michael, Club
58 has yet another Img_0660golden couple borned out of wedlock. This time
round, it’s club 58 director of affairs, and golden girl of all sports,
Serene. Sources has confimed that they have started a blossoming
relationship just within a month. Looks like Terence has got his
cards laid fast and furious this time. Just how did it happen? Our
reporter asked a few sources and an undisclosed friend who wished to
remain anonymous    due to life threatening reasons, has disclosed,"It’s
not a surprise that ah hoi is interested in her since she shares a lot
of common interests with him, be it scuba diving, sky diving,
wakeboarding,etc etc. In short, Terence has found someone whom he can
tekan." I can almost hear the guys letting out a sigh of relief and
"Thank God for Serene".

Just when did it all started? Another friend of them has disclosed,"Think
Terence knew her on the night when Serene broke her glass in Union and
Terence, being such a gentleman is the first to help her clean up."
Well, a relationship borned out of broken glass, a rare occurence
indeed. Terence has corrected Razzi News that he knew Serene on 21/09/06. He charmed Serene during a bachata dance. The broken glass is just a catalyst. Now, just in case, you are wondering where in the world Serene pops out from, Serene joined JJ Salsa Rengue in their I2 class on the 02/09/06. And she got to know Terence during one of the Saturdays in Union after class. So you do the maths on how long they have known each other.

Another close source has also informed us that Terence has confided
in him/her that he regretted knowing Serene so late. They have so many
common interests and Serene has told him that it’s a pity that they met
so late too.  Boy, did that stirred his heart. And stirred his heart it
did, as he revved up his engine and he went all speed ahead. As they said,
all roads lead to Rome, in this case, all hints lead to a clear
indication of Terence’s interest in Serene.

News of Terence’s confirmed interest in Serene broke on 29/09/06.
Members of Club 58 has divulged that they have already started dating.
One member told our newspaper correspondent that Terence has told
him/her that they are currently dating and wants to progress slowly and
also, to keep it under wraps first, to avoid unnecessary pressure. But
on the next day, a Saturday, the dating couple decided to appear in the
public as a dating couple. It’s hard not to notice them as they
appeared to be an item then, the close contact, the "sticking together"
movement…

On Sunday, the following day, they appeared even closer, while in a
bachata workshop in enmotion, it was noticed that the couple had nose
to nose contact and Terence whispering sweet nothing in Serene’s ear
while dancing. And when they left and walked away into the sunset, they
were seen holding hands… And it was as clear as day and a no brainer
that they are already a couple.

Club 58 members have expressed concern about whether love will make
Terence a softie and resign from the post of events/affairs coordinator
of Club 58. It appears that he is trying very hard to balance the
affairs/events coordination of club 58 and being a lovey-dovey
boyfriend in new-found relationship. As attested to that, he is trying to meet club 58 members for dinner and kopi events. On Saturday
night itself, he ran from Cantonement to River Valley (God knows how many KM) iwithin 20 minutes at 12am in order
to meet club 58 members for supper. Such is his committment to Club 58
but the members are adopting a wait and see attitude to see whether
that will last.

Coincidentally, the ladies are ganging up against him.
The latest news is that the ladies from Club 58 has formed a sub club
which has not yet been named. Hopefully, Terence won’t be kicked butt by the sub club. The problem here is that Terence doesn’t even know why his butt is being kicked. But
my guess is that if anyone could pull it off, Terence will be the one.
Terence has informed Club 58 Razzi News that Serene has encouraged him
to spend more time with Club 58 members. So people, do go easy on him. Nevertheless, Club 58 members are all happy for him and they wished
them all the best in the budding relationship. May they "Zao Shen Gui
Zi".

A Tale of 2 continents (belated post)

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

Ecd15ca6

Singapore: Salsa has produced a lovely couple from cross continents. This time, it has linked the hearts of Tarcie from Singapore and Michael from Hong Kong. They were seen together for the first time in public on 25/09/06. Sources have seen them holding hands together on the dancefloor (what’s new? Everyone holds hands on the dance floor) and OFF the dancefloor. Michael was seen holding Tarcie’s hand affectionately all the time. The couple even disappeared into the lounge for a part of the time. No wild guesses here though. A close friend of Tarcie has revealed that he sensed something is brewing when Tarcie wanted Michael to attend a Club 58 Salsa party.

Our newspaper corresponent interviewed Tarcie the next day and she admitted it.

Club 58 sincerely congratulates Tarcie and Micheal on their new-found relationship.
