Privilege Ibiza - World's Biggest Club

Ibiza is a small island lying 90 km off the east coast of Spain, in the Western Mediterranean. It is part of the Balearic islands. Ibiza is known for its partying nites at bars/clubs.

Privilege Ibiza, located half way between Ibiza and san Antonio on the main road, near San Rafael, known as the world's largest club.
If it's your first time in Privilege you're highly likely to get lost. It's extremely easy to get separated from your friends and not see them again till the sun comes up. Don't worry tho, you'll make new ones.
Upon entering the club you go down a massive staircase. You are now are bang in the middle of one of the world's largest dancefloors. At its centre the dj is suspended above a swimming pool . At the far end is a stage where girls and boys dance around in varying stages of undress and a show with a non-linear dramatic structure (i.e. it's confusing) takes place.

Entrance fee: expect to pay up to 60€ (approx. US$113). Vodka lemon costs approx. 10€ and a beer 8€. Queuing is the norm so need to buy tickets beforehand. Privilege has its own range of merchandise too.

Privilege is hosting the gala of America's Best DJ Award on 28 August 2006. In June 2006, Privilege Kiev has opened in the city of Kiev, Ukraine.

Hong Kong TVB series

Another series finished off by me during the night time at home in Khartoum.

Women On The Run - a comedy throughout the series esp when you have Chan Pak Cheong in the cast. He plays the role of a private detective with a helper too. He will appear in most cases which somehow involves the 4 main ladies also. It was something like CSI investigation too where he used his wits to help the police to solve cases.

Towards the last 8 episodes, it was more of relationship with a guy (former gangster), his mom and a lady (intending to cheat his mom's property). But which also requires some wisdom to overcome those sticky situations. You will like the series as the jokes are quite original.

Petronas & ChevronTexaco chased out of Chad

How come the Malaysian news have not reported on this yet?

The Chad government has given a 24 hours ultimatum to both Petronas of Malaysia and ChevronTexaco of USA to move its staff out of the country and close their offices. It's a real blow to both companies. Reason for the immediate clearance as mentioned was due to non-compliance to tax obligation matters. Other sources claimed that the removal was to make way for the entrance of China companies into the picture as reported in BBC News/Africa & CNN News.

In Sudan itself, China companies are making headways too. China's top government officials recent visits to a number of African countries are actually paving ways for China companies' path into the largely untapped markets. Apparently, Chad just resumed its international tie with China 3 weeks ago.

Hong Kong TVB series

La Femme Desperado (a Hong Kong TVB TV series of 22 episodes) – starring Melissa Ng/Sheren Tong/Raymond Lam/Michael Tse/Kenneth Ma/Kate Tsui/Cindy Au. From being a daughter to a girlfriend, all the way to being a mother, it's definitely not easy being a woman. Seeing from the female gender's point of view, this series shows us the hardships a female has to go through. Whether it's holding family honor, break-ups, relationships, divorce or being a single parent, the series will bring you through an experience from a female's point of view.

But from my point of view, at times it's way out / unreasonable / illogical for a lady to act like what the actresses have potrayed.
