The One with BMW Sauber F1.....

I won't exactly call myself a huge fan of the F1 GPs coz by saying so it would just make me a fadish poseur. However I would say that the Singapore GP had stirred a little interest in me with regard to the F1 races in general, enough interest in me trying to find out who are the curent top 5 drivers in the F1 circuit.

Recieved an invitation from Nadia a week before on whether would i be interested to attend the meet and greet session of the BMW Sauber F1 team. I was thankful and accepted the offer in an instant. Met up slightl earlier at Ikea with Nadia for a lunch of meatbals and chicken wings (her treat! thanks Nad!) before heading over to performance motors for the event.

Realised that perhaps i should not even have ate at all because there was food provided! Dammit..... by Raffles hotel some more... The meet and greet session was really awesome. The race car itself was on display, we got to hear from the entire BMW Sauber team on how the mechanics work for the whole team to strive towards success in the event and race. The racers commented on what did they feel about the Marina Bay Circuit among other topics.
Each of us got to walk away with some goddies from BMW as well! And Yes..... There was a photo opportunity with Robert Kubica and Nick Hiedfeld too... AWESOME!

The one about Paul Anka...

Alright... recently i realised i have been grouping all my blog entries together so now i am gonna tryy blogging this weeks events. Bought myself a pair of Paul Anka tickets for his concert on monday.
This strange thing was that i have never heard much of his work with the exception of the song from the Kodak Commercial also known as 'Times of your life'. But as my Dad have been telling me so much about what a fantastic performer Paul is, i decided to grab a pair of tickets to check it out.

The next task was to get a date for the concert and somehow the first person that came to mind was SHARON! Lol... I told her about it after that and she went 'You think i am so old meh???' No la.... i just thought she is able to appreciate the music. We met slightly ealier to have dinner at Brewerkz, took us quite a while to decide on what to order and we finally settled for 3 appetizers as we did not want to over order. However, what we did not expect was for the portions to be that HUGE... didn't manage to finish it of course.

The concert itself was great! Paul was incredibly energetic for a man in his late 60s! From his well know hits such as 'Diana' to songs that he written for others such as 'My Way' by Sinatra and to his own version of rock songs sang in a different way such as 'Jump' by Van Halen. I never expected it but i enjoyed every single bit of the concert. Will be considering picking up a copy of his album 'Rock Swings'. Special thanks to Sharon for keeping me company that evening as well as the awesome treat. Thanks!

The One with Cars, Girls and Drinks....

What i initially felt was going to be the most hectic birthday turned out to be a pretty enjoyable and memorable one too! Big Thanks to all that made it a happy occasion for me.
Popped by Expo to Check out the Super Import Nights Convention together with Chermaine and it was a real eye opener for me! (Since i missed the last one) As usual it was great to see all the familiar faces once again!

Headed over to Arena for the Medai appreciation night after that thanks to the invitation of Claire and Jaslyn. But not before reciving my birthday Cupcakes from Lydia and gang!!! Hey all.... thanks for them k? I love it to bits!
The event was filled with familiar faces and of course fantastic food and drinks! Had a fantastic time catching up with Jack as well. It has been a long time man! Since Poly days too!!

Last but not least i decided to have a chilling session at Harrys in Chijmes. The company was great and i would say that i have not been so happy in quite a while. Thanks Sandip, Chermaine, Des, Jacqui and Young who all made it and for making me happily buzzed as well! *In indian Accent* Aren't we cool?? hahaha!!!

The one with Wala~ Wala~

Had a pretty slow start to a saturday a i had to prepare for my hosting gig at the cathay. Turned out to be a rather interesting gig as such that it involved the people of Timezone as well as F1. Rather interesting concept of organising a virtual Grand prix so as to create awareness for the real event that would be held on th 28th. Met up with Javern and gang after the gig for dinner and Drinks at Walawala. It has been a while since i have actually been there and it was great fun as usual to be able to chill with friends. Thanks for the Jaggerbomb sis!

Met up with Casse again on Sunday as she was taking part in a Straits time Makeover competition. There were a total of 163 competitors who were taking part! Talk about huge! Hahaha...

The One with the Joint Bdae Celebration at Partyworld....

Took a days leave on friday to settle some personal matters as well as meet up with Sharon for lunch. It was so nice seeing you babe! Haha.. since the last time at Helipad. Rushed off to Cityhall to meet up with Javern but not before i dropped by Simply Toys to grab a present for Javern..Haha... Decided to head over to Central to meet Kuromi Sama for a early Dinner at Waraku. The food there was simply great! Even though we are still pretty unsure about the whole Mango Curry Thing... Arigato Gozaimasu Kuromi Sama for the treat!

Rushed over to Party World at Orchard to meet up with the rest for me and Javerns Joint Birthday celebration. (The Karaoke one)
Lol.... didn't know that the room charges were actually that much. but special thanks to CP for helping us get a discount and the free cokes as well. Casse, Huirong and Elaine paid a special visit to the party as well!
Too bad the room had a back to back booking or we would most definately have extended the booking.
