Quarter Century

Today I reach a quarter century, damn has it been that long. It’s nice to be typing this on my Dell and not my old Acer, it’s amazing what a different experience it is working on a new computer. I hope that I can write about my next birthday on a MacBook Pro or at least sitting at a proper desk in a nice comfy chair, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

The past twenty five years have been full of learning and a lot of work, not always doing stuff I wanted to but nonetheless earning some money and learning about business and dealing with issues and people. This year looks promising and I’m excited about all of the opportunities that lie ahead both personally and for MyEcommerce.

Amelia and I started off the day in a mad rush to get ready for Daniel and Marile’s wedding. For some bizarre reason, weddings always seem to invoke a form of natural chaos, even if it’s not your own wedding. The day was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, they had their service at the Moederkerk and their reception at one of the halls at Saasveld. The food was cool and they had the most awesome pumpkin dumplings in a caramel sauce and some really great desert too. Amelia and I left the wedding stuffed and jealous.

I hope that by next birthday I’ll be driving something with four wheels and hopefully be closer towards achieving my endless list of goals.

DJ Set – New Years Eve at Fancourt

Well, as it goes, I’m not really a celebrator of New Years or any other special occasion for that matter. Needless to say, Amelia and I did not have anything planned to bring in the new year.

This morning, I got a call from Jovan and was asked to play in the Fancourt, Members Bar to welcome 2010, and I was more than stoked to do so.

I kicked off with a mellow mix from 19:30 till about 21:30 then picked it up a bit as some of the guests were looking for a slightly more upbeat vibe.

While we were waiting for more guests to arrive, Amelia and I had an awesome seafood pizza, prepared by the La Cantina Chefs, along with some really good coffee. If you get the opportunity to visit Fancourt and enjoy seafood, I’d highly recommend you have one of their seafood pizzas, if you don’t like seafood, you can’t go wrong with the coffee.

The crowd streamed in from about 22:40 and it was pumping through till 23:50 when I called last rounds for 2009. At ten seconds to midnight, we started the countdown and welcomed in the new year. One of the guests lead us, in singing Auld Lang Syne after which, I brought the pace down a bit, with some chilled dance tracks and good old classics. I gradually slowed things down from then and finished off my set at 02:00.

I hit the decks from just after 21:00 and dropped my first house track immediately, with no more rugby for the weekend, tonight was all about partying.

There were supporters dancing and drinking in the most elaborate outfits. We even had a guy who fell in love with a chair for the evening.

I kept things drifting between chilled and uplifting, with a spread of local, and international house and underground. I was on the decks till last rounds were called and began striking at about 03:00.

Outdoor sound was provided by AudioWorx.

After getting all the gear together, I decided to take advantage of McDonald’s 24 hour drive through and went there to grab myself a McFeast Deluxe… I ended up in the cue for about forty minutes, before getting my food, it was well worth the wait though.

I kicked off the night at about 19:00 and worked through some laid back tunes, some rock and eventually into some chilled house, every so often dropping something a little more uplifting.

With a number of Flat screens spread throughout the premises, some people were watching the rugby, while others were eating, and the rest were partying it up.

By 22:00 the night was alive and the party was happening outside under the Bedouin Tent in the Castle Chill Zone. I held the tempo through till just after 02:00 when I started slowing things down, as people started leaving.

All in all a good night was had by all.

After leaving the wedding we took a drive through to Wazeer’s birthday party at Ob’s house in Rheebok.

Ziyaad and Parveen went all out with the catering and their was still some great tasting pudding left, that we gladly indulged in.

I made OB and myself some coffee, using his awesome Siemens Espresso Machine, i could so do with one of these at home and the office.

The youngsters decided to go out clubbing, so Amelia, Parveen and I, after finishing our coffee with OB hit the road back to George.
