Formula V6 @ Sepang.....and I got behind the wheel!

Once again a big thank you to Alex who lent us his driver and car to send us up to Sepang to catch the Formula V6 race that was held in conjunction with the Japan GT race. We got there in the heat but in good order and found the Tara DTM team paddock. Hafiz was just about to get ready for his run in qualifying but was gracious enough to entertain us. MAN IT WAS HOT!!! Royston and myself were sure facinated by the thrill of being in the pit that was just a few levels away from our beloved F1. Hafiz even let both of us get into his CAR!!! Man! That was one of the most unexpected but thrilling experiences ever. I don't know how much each car cost but I do remember it was more than a few hundred thousand EURO's! Well...of course, since we had pit passes, we joined him in the line up before the qualifying race with some fantastic close up pictures. Check out his helmet guys! Well.....unfortunately Hafiz was knocked out by someone else in the team which was very bad news indeed. While I don't think Ismay had a really good time, Roy and myself sure did and the time of our lives with a chance to do something very few people could....and all this before another nite out on the town in KL!!!

KL Nites with Roy & Ismay and ALL the Boys!

Well well...finally...off we went to KL to catch the Renault Formula V6 race where our good friend Hafiz Koh was racing with his team Tara DTM at Sepang. However, before we got there...Roy, Ismay and myself had decided to take the bus up and of course, that night....we just had to go and join a party! It was Kamal's birthday and of coure we were invited so after my very successful meeting with Alex Wong from STM, we headed off to get a quick Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa and then to the party at Damansara Heights. Alex had kindly lent us his car and driver and good thing it was too cause it POURED and we got all a little lost. Of course all the boys where there. my two brothers Boy and Jamie, Al, Kudin, Myra turned up with the girls...and even Ozlem from IndoChine! Well....in the pouring rain, we trooped of with Kudin to Velvet where we caught up with Cher and the rest of the lads there. Ridzman turned up...and so at the end of the night, Roy and Ismay headed back to the hotel. Of course I was not ready to call it a night and off I went to Heritage Row. Naturally I found a party...at Bar Blond....and finally managed to get home with a rather large hang over to head over to catch the qualifying race in Sepang. All in all a excellent nite out on the town in KL!!!!

Style Magazine Anniversary @ BarFly

Yes...it was one of those weeks with way too many parties and events packed over a few days. Why do everyone seem to want to hold their parties all within the same week??? Oh well...it makes for a good nite out on the town then. Style Magazine was holding their anniversary and as things would have it, the event was sponsored by my good friend Chivas Regal!!! Indeed man! How could I resist! Well..rocking into the club just as the party was kicking off.....you can imagine the elation on catching up with Raymond, Alexis, Brandon, Daren...the incoming marketing manager for Pernod Ricard.... It was expecially cool cause many of the familiar faces were in attendance, Elaina and Angie from Kaiiten, Felicia, Rose, Ching Wyin, Conrad....the list goes on! It sure was quite fun with more than adequate amounts of Chivas floating around. Well...our last port of call with the PR team before calling it an end to the nite out on the town was Velvet where Ivan joined us! Oh boy...and its only a Thursday night!!! * I really like this pic of the Chivas...notice the golden glow of this wonderful drink!!!*

Russian Standard @ The Russian National Day!!!

I could tell that this was going to be a heavy night out on the town from the outset! Can you imagine? Its the Russian National Day......and together with nearly every Russian in town, Russina food...(the caviar disappeared REAL quick!!)....Russian models....and of course.......RUSSIAN STANDARD vodka!!! Rose, Felicia and myself arrived with a whole nearly the whole diplomatic corps down at the Goodwood Park Hotel. Naturally we barely knew anyoneone except Sulian, Julian, Billy and Giorgio. I suppose the girls had it smart with other plans to head off for dinner.....and left me to the tender mercies of the Russians. The one good thing about having the vodka flow.....you quickly make friends...and of course I ended up making friends with the executive staff of the hotel!!! Well....to say the least....more than a few bottles later....I crawled home to prepare to nurse a real bad hangover the next day.

Tatler Rebrand / Gatsby / The Usual Suspects....So Many Parties..SOOO Little TIME!!!

Yep...it was one of those massive Friday nights when there was so many parties to attend! Felicia and me had indended to attend to attend the Tatler New-Look party at AREAN out of all the places. It was indeed very strange.....a brand new club and more tai-tai's you could shake a stick at. My old friend Maylene Koh turned up out of the blue.....the last time I saw her she was at wedding no. 1 dinner in her gown looking for a smoke behind the pillar! Met Kelly from Thumper, Yuki and her daughter.....and more! Well.....when the free flow died, you can expect the crowd to split...so off we went to location no. 2....Zouk for the Gatsby party. They had really decked out the club quite nicely. The main bar had lots of cool stuff going on and they were serving colored cup cakes in Members Bar! Angie and Rose joined us.....and just before things got totally mad...we decided to split. The girls were in need of food....and me.....well....I went off to Il Lido!!! Talk about far rite??? Well.....They were throwing their first "Usual Suspects" party with support from Giorgio who had invited me to come....so of course I headed over! As expected, ALL "Da Usual Suspects" were there! There was a interesting new Vodka, Russina Standard.....there was more than a couple of bottles of Tattinger..... Giorgio, Julian, Sulian, Billy and Janet, Royston and Ismay, Vig....Jay and all the foreign models....oh well....we were all well and truly tanked up by the time the party was winding down. Now for some strange reason.....I got it in my head to go back to town to MoS!!! So of course I follow my booze-fogged brain and head on down as fast as the taxi can get me. Rocking into Sky...who do I find but my recent dive buddies! Fabian, his brother, some other old school divers....and of course...as things went on.....it turned out to be a massive nite out on the town as usual!

Fashion Cafe Nites

Ah!!! Dry land! After a fantastic experience, it was now time to get back to dry land and some decent partying. It was a Wednesday night and Roy buzzed to ask me down to hang at Fashion Bar with some friends. Of course...who was I to say no to the papak that got me my diving lesson so off I went! Met Estelle, Ying, Ismay, Priscilla and a couple of Roy's friends from KL. Not a major night out on the town but good fun none the less!!!!
