the year was 2008 I started a little
company with three friends or didn't get
us started I don't know but it should
give us an excuse to have a bloody good
time always now 12 years later I look
back at how it all began where I lost
myself and how I found the road back all
thanks to my habit of taking videos my
adventures are now about to be surmised
in the film you're about to view
we were cheeky little outfit in a shoe
box office with barely room for four so
we got out and about a lot meeting new
people
checking out any bars training things
you know the works just a bunch of
20-somethings living like
what is that shop 151 makes you feel
like great ostrich on a skittle
understand how strong was it
you mean what inspired you to come up
with this can I have one
I'm gonna show people that it's a it's
an Indian thing Megan finish it
this is
and that's how he drank every night you
see you were on top of the world or at
least on top of our city like literally
that's the swissotel helipad
and that's vas one of the Four
Musketeers I don't know how we got him
involved but before this he was a
national record-setting athletics
champion but he wasn't complaining his
new life was good for all of us so what
was it we actually did you ask well we
threw parties produce shows you see we
were an entertainment company mostly the business entertain ourselves and having
a great time at it this is footage of us
sticking on more sticky tape on sticky
tape goal and a disco fever party
because the client got worried you were
brash and loud like that clients loved
us they were also afraid of us so when
it came to entertainment we didn't
discriminate everyone was a customer
including kids Sebastien detailing some
of them we gave them their first colored
party pills no no I'm not joking this
part it's completely true I'll show you
what I mean kids make happy
customers too
in between the hustle and bustle of work
we checked out what nurses worn in their skirts
dreamt loud what nuns would
wear to a party and even found time to
introduce kids to their first encounters
of transexual
we popped bottles almost always on behalf of other people it was nice to get people spending money
we recruited all the hot DJ's even make them play our Tunes
it was like our own little private party
you see
We also hired talent. sexy girl in chains talent. sultry dancer from china talent
boy trying to land helicopter inside a club talent, dutch milk maids talent talent from every part of the world
part of the world telling telling every
shape size and color telling for a while
challenged with the lifeblood of our
existence
we justified our existence
so we rolled on as many as we could in
as many variations as we could
the more talent on display
the more money we made you see
in character lady in character. Oh ok in character
,my father is dead my father is dead
know
often times we became the talents
themselves that's us in cheerleader outfits
believe me if you're a
heterosexual man there's nothing like
going to a party in drag it messes
with the chicks minds so bad
suddenly a girl isn sure if she should
treat you like a man or a woman or both
it confuses the hell out of them
we quickly became the best in the game and we became the best because we only worked with the best
Thats Angie vu ha she came to us a
supermodel we made her a supermodel DJ
she went on to become the number one
female DJ in the world hanging out of
the Playboy Mansion becoming pals with
Hugh Hefner himself
Leng Yein she came to us just a motor
sports model now she's malaysian pop royalty
at this point I should start
talking about the real job we were all
performing sure we were entertaining but
our ultimate goal was to get people
drinking I mean copious amounts of
drinking kind of drinking
I mean drinking from the bottle can't
drink now
it was never enough kind of drinking it
was a never-say-die kind of drinking
it was a dont stop till u drop kind of drinking
after a while the gigs started paying
the venue's were larger even the
costumes more elaborate I mean we were
standing on stages meant for celebrities
before long that's awesome the Katy
Perry stage two hours before her Candyland concert
in Manila 30,000 fans expected and here we were standing on stage as if we were were rockstars
if you think we stopped there you're dead wrong we
were hired by celebrity after celebrity
everything was on the up and up
our star was rising we were nightlife royalty
operating at the cutting edge of entertainment we always
had a new hook and we never put on a
bad show we were so caught up throwing
these parties getting caught in the
thick of the madness that the day's
blurred into wine there was no semblance of normality anymore
life was one big never-ending
disco party that we had to put on
it was like as if the big bad wolf had come out to play
and never wanted to go home
anymore
by the time my 30th birthday party rolls
around I was a spent force fully loaded
without a care on a Monday night
with a 70 year old and 100
other people are hardly knew I even forgot that AP de AP of the Black Eyed Peas was booked as my present
I missed his performance chasing tail in the smoking corner. I think. I cant be sure
I don't remember
somehow reconnection with my indian roots i settled on the 41 days fast
will include absolutes from material
comforts at the tail end of this fast
was a culinary trip to India to ascend the
holy mountain barefoot
dont say it was not u becos ur passport wasnt even ready we have no VIP experience agree with the
we now have to go the original way with all the poor people basically right we have this the VIP queue tag
our fellow pilgrims have the only problem with ours is that
it says 7pm instead of 7am
which means we can't go now on the Express Q the
the VIP Q which means we are gonna have to rough it
with the rest of everybody else we
regret this. It involves squashing with 100,000 peasants
its all aaghirs fault we didn't submit the
passport details already
we'll keep you posted as you go up
we managed to corrupt a spiritual experience,
we didn corrupt anything somebody offered to take us direct to the altar if we paid him a fee he would do this by bribing cops
Someone offered us we bribe them to cut the queue we agreed
the same as paying money for the vip Q except way more expensive. I am currently guilt stricken. But i must say guilt feels better than standing in line
we don't know where we're going the
normal track barely you can like express
to us Express let's see what happens
so that's our guide the guy with the
blue towel on his back in the checkered
shirt he's our guide the one we paid to bribe cops
if you are wealthy enough you pay someone to carry you up
leaving from here we are walking up from here there are very people walking up it seems to be a way to come down the mountain
So our guide is still drinking tea back there he basically told us walk ahead
no insights and what I get as an
understand is the Indian distance
calculations when the Indian say is just
around the corner what they really mean is that its around 4 -5 corners away
he's a complaining samy always complaining about something mosquito la stomach ache la
bladder gonna pee la needs to take a dump a lump la
going up on a everybody seems to be
coming down we have no idea what route this is
according to the guide we won't
have to join any Q he's gonna take us
through somehow let's see
we are very unfit
our guide after drinking his tea has caught up with us and in fact overtaken us
thats him with the blue towel around his neck
he's now offering an audience with god himself after getting us to pay 3 grand each rupees to take us up to a short cut where we supposedly wont queue
He's now offering us front row access to god with police escort
the police escorting us into the sanctum of ayyappa
i say enough bribery for one day getting
ourselves out there to cut queue
but bribing to see God himself                       
 I don't know makes me slightly uncomfortable
unscrupulous Sammy doesn't
seem to mind but im scrupulous
that's the cue we are beating check out how
long that runs for
i dont know how I feel about this
but that's a long ass queue we are beating
if he gets us to the 18 golden steps
the guide has gone to bribe what we believe to be policemen
they said it couldn't be done
young boy from yishunville look at me now
so we got a room without any corruption I don't think
there was any corruption involved thats a first
straight-up deal
basically paper rumors like
250 rupees and television beautiful did
we're going to find it
welcome to the Hilton
guess it could have been worse
toilet generally looks ok ok la pass
like i was saying we been upgraded so if this is the marina bay sands
this where we are will be the
balcony overlooking the bay with the
view of the shoppes what they call hOtels
hotels in india means not hotels like we think they
they mean restaurants
this is the view from our room or should i say our suite
we are going to take part in the giving of alms
this is the stuff we contribute this morning they have asked to come
we had to run after them cos they left our late ass behind
