What a weekend...




Hi again people...

Pardon the lapse of updates, have been over-stretched both at work and with family matters.

In spite of that, still managed to squeeze in some 'fun' time over the last weekend..

Friday night was spent with my parents and friends at the Selangor Turf Club's 110th Annual Dinner. (Didn't know they've been around for such a long time) This was quite memorable too as it was my inaugural outing for an event organised by the Turf Club. Was accompanied by a very good friend of mine. On the invite, the theme of the dinner was Black and Gold, As I only had Black and more black, decided to just garb up in my suit and black and silver Armani tie. Haven't worn a tie in nearly a year, feels restrictive initially, then after a while I guess your body just adapts to it.


As the venue of the annual dinner changes from year to year, previously held in mighty fine places, was a bit surprised that they chose to have it at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel... Might look impressively big from the outside but inside certainly doesn't impress. Unless they are going for the modern minimalist look which somehow is at odds with the furniture scheme that they have chosen.

Saturday was another party night... Was invited to a friends birthday party.. Had to rush to the mall closest to where I stay to get a pink t-shirt as that was the theme... It's beyond me why I don't have a pink shirt, perhaps that can be explained in another blog :p

Here's a couple of pics taken from the party.. Great fun, Great company and fantastic drinks.. What more can a guy ask for...

Who would have thought whiskey and green tea makes such a yummy drink :D




The pink parade at party Central!! (and in order of colour intensity too)






And to end the weekend on the perfect note, I received an invite to the launch of the new Ducati 1098 here in Malaysia. The folks at Naza sure know how to parteee... :D, the launch venue was at the Loft Upstairs, located at the Asian Heritage Row in KL. Half on the journey to the Loft, realised that I had left my camera at home.. Nevertheless, some great shots of the event did emerge...

The Ducati 1098s ladies and gentlemen, prices start around the RM140k to RM160k range... I've been told that the allocation of four 1098's for Malaysia has been swiftly taken up. Me and some of the bike forummers in discussion... The other reason why I was there was to catch up on the Nickle & Dime MotoGP at Donington Park.. Have always been a Ducati fan (to some of my mates chagrin) and Casey Stoner makes it look so easy indeed..







Quite an eventful weekend all in all... Had a very good laugh on morning when I read a message that one of the bikers mentioned that their coffee tasted so much better in the exclusive Ducati 1098 mug... Too which I replied, perhaps the 'octane' rating has been increased :D:D:D That certainly made a dreary Monday more enjoyable...

It's nearly the weekend and nothing much planned. Just catching up with the latest movie to hit town... Transformers... Hope it lives up to its hype. Certainly been disappointed with quite a few movies of late.
