Its RACE Day!

Yup...finally got some time to put up my race day entry. It was sure a hectic day with the London Fog's performance venue changing at the last minute to the F1 Village and with the shuffle of equipment and logistics but we managed to do everything in good time and as the band got to the track in plenty of time to set up and sound check. As the sound check went on well, I had to head over to the paddock to meet my guest Mark Burnett, Scot Cru and Man Shu Sum from Mark Burnett Productions Asia and give them a quick tour as well as do the pit walk. After that, we settled down to some champagne and good company catching up with Boss and meeting a few really interesting people in the Cuscaden Paddock. We also caught Miss Universe and Miss Universe Singapore there for some snaps....and as the paddock filled up, the mood sure reved up a few notches! Caught a few friends such as my cousin Kelvin and his bosses, Franck Brown, Michael Hosking, prominent international flutist Andreas, Noel and Nancy Hawkes, TJ Tay and his wife, Alice Oei, Jen Ong, Giorgio Ferrari, Rajiv Bhalla and friends....and also caught up with Franck and Edward in the Ferrari Paddock. Was totally disappointed with the Ferrari fiasco with the fuel line and Kimmi wiping out just at the end...and supprise supprise with the win by Alonso! Well...things got even more hectic at the end with the packing out of the band's gear. In the shuffle of venue's, the organizers kind of forgot on how to get the equipment and band out of the venue! A few stressful moments as well as a very sweet one of me waving to Sylvia who was on the track from the paddock. So near and yet so far! Well...it was off to work to sort out all the gear and then off to Amber Lounge to continue one of the best nights out on the town this year!
