Have traditionally always had a house party and a club party every birthday. Once i celebrated for a week.

In ’07, the club party at Velvet was for a small group of friends – about a dozen. We had 16 jugs of Long Island. Insane.

Firin-up absinthe dat was Fed-Exed by my bro from Australia for my birthday

In ’08, decided to try sumtin different. I had heard of this place called The Zon. It’s some sort of paradise in dat boring state in the south. The one on d way to Singapore.

In The Zon, there’s a hotel, shopping mall, restaurants, bars and clubs (including Modesto’s). All within a square. Near the ocean. The cool part is that it’s completely duty free! So u can go clubbing n buy bottles like shit n still have money to blow. At one of the clubs, two bottles of Jack Daniel’s was $500. These are one-liter babies.

A bucket of five Hoegaardens is like $50. Of course u can buy them retail at the mall too –  a bottle is $5, a crate of Hoegaarden is only 80 bucks! Same with Corona.

We had three days in a suite in The Zon. Obviously we went nuts. Suite party, bar party, club party, hotel lounge party, back-of-moving-pick-up-truck party. Big-pimpin, over three superb days. Thanks to my good buddy Paulie that set it up (who’s currently M.I.A.).

There’s actually no need to leave the place for a couple of days – u can just remain in ‘da zone’.

Zoning out. Since we were suite guests, there were free drinks at the lounge every evening. Haha! Chilled there in my robe. Fat cats

On the final nite, Paulie popped a bottle of champagne in one of the clubs. I actually did a runner. Dat never happens. Was really zoned, so scooted back to d suite before i got killed.

My birthday gift from my bro Khang was a really cool painting of Commander Che. And d rest of d housemates in it, including Homey.

Viva revolucion!

Khang’s got skills. He’s done a painting for everyone in da house for their birthdays. Homey too!

Khang is a graphic artist. Actually was. Just resigned from Bates and a psychotic boss to take up a better job as an art director elsewhere. He’s a freelance painter. If u’d like him to paint u sum shit for yourself or a gift, u can mail him at racerx2khang@hotmail.com. There’re better views of d pictures here.
