9 September 2011, 16:00 -  At one of the tallest locations in Singapore, 1-altitude (level 61), Bulgari had a live viewing session of the Rugby World Cup 2011 kick-off match between the ALL BLACKS and Tonga, and showcasing the BVLGARI Endurer Chronosprint ALL BLACKS.  Continuous flow of beers, wines and canapes were served, and some highly coveted ALL BLACK mechandise to be won for guests who knew the answers to the quizzes.

The evening continued with another surprise, a Haka competition.  The 'war-dance' performance and prizes were simply ... very stunning.  Read on smile

I was unwell. I combined elements from the Maori haka and the Tongan sipitau (war dance). As you can see from the apoplexy of coughing spasms afterwards, I should not have put so much into it. I had lost my voice from a viral infection over 2 weeks. Still... 

Great report Kong and loved the videos :)
