Hen Do - Singapore Leg

A week before the Big Day, and on the same night that Damian and Pete were being 'looked after' by Andrew, Charlie and a cast of fives down at the Beer Cellar, Sarah had her second hen do. She was in the safe hands of Esther and Nicole.

From the pix, it certainly looks as if the gals had a great time! And Sarah still has the t-shirt to prove it!

As well as being a superstar hen do co-organiser, Nicole found the time to pen a few words as to how Sarah's night went:

Sarah’s Singapore Hen’s night kicked off in style on Saturday 15th July, 2006. The girls – Nicole, Esther, Jayne, Viv, Evelyn, Georgie & Simmone – arrived at the hen roost – the private room about Dharma’s café at Boat quay – at 7pm to prepare for the entrance of Pam and the hen at 7:30pm.

Preparations including everyone donning a specially-made Hen’s Night t-shirt downing a glass or two of wine and standing ‘quietly’ in the dark in ‘surprise’ position. True to Hargreaves’ form, Sarah & Pam snuck up on us instead, so with champagne in hand, and the hen decked out in her own special t-shirt, the night got underway.

Knowing Sarah’s penchant for a boogie, a fully costumed belly dancer entertained us just as the shots started to kick in, or should we say that Sarah entertained us with her very own belly-dancing style – whilst the professional dancer was relegated to back of stage position.After that burst of energy, it was time to play ‘pin the penis on the man’ (there has to be at least one game like this at a hen’s night!) The poster of Brad Pitt as the ‘man’ was snubbed as we realized we had a much better pin-up – Damian – on posters on our walls. Various sized and coloured penis’s were strategically placed on (or near!) Damian’s body by blindfolded party goers and of course the hen. The game reached a climax (?) when the last penis was placed on Damian’s face!Enough private frivolity, the party then went public at the New Asia Bar. All hen-goers and especially the hen herself embraced the face that the games were now no longer contained to the smaller private group. Photos and signatures on dare cards (reading, for example “Ask someone at the bar with a fresh pint if you can lick the head off their beer as it’s your birthday”) bear witness to this exhibitionism! No one knows for sure what time the party ended or why Sarah woke up (almost) fully clothed but we do know that we had a great time, as we looked forward to doing the same at the wedding the following weekend.
