Managed to score some last minute tickets for Singapore’s first ever F1 yesterday (thanks to Lyn for that). Having no wish to go to F1 by myself alone, I dragged along my friend to watch the race from the Padang stands. It was a moment of triumph as we both realized that we too could walk around Singapore and look like we owned the place with our F1 badges.
The F1 certainly brings a holiday atmosphere to the place that almost makes the actual race a moot point. In some ways, it was also Singapore’s first actual world event, and there were plenty of vibes in the air that Singapore could yet be cool. The upper crust of Singapore echelons finally had an outlet to display their wealth beyond their country clubs while the general rabble could feel Singapore’s prosperity first-hand, even if it was just latching on to a small part of the F1 in some way.
Actually, the F1 was quite exciting.

Thursday nights are Superfly nights at 1/5!
My mate is going to be DJing down there and apparently he was so nervous he went on a shopping spree to several HMV’s to stock up on some tunes. I’m not one for the music or the place to be honest, but a mate’s a mate, and I’m going down to support him.
So, if you fancy a drink to the groovy funk that the DJ meister, el revez, will spinning, get yer booty down there.

This year I’ve decided to go on a junk trip for my birthday. I thought it might make a nice change from actually just getting drunk and wasted for my birthday at some bar or club. Fresh air, bikinis, wine…
So if you don’t want to see me celebrate by myself (i.e. you don’t want me to look like the sad bastard that I am in the photo), then sign up below using the comments box to post your reply. I sort of do need to know you to be invited (i.e. you should have received an invitation via email or friendster).
Of course, if you are a young, hot, sexy woman with long dark hair and I don’t know you, then feel free to sign up. Otherwise, give me a damned good reason.
Presents
You don’t need to get me a present. I don’t expect it and I’m not really comfortable with it. But if you have a burning desire to do so, then you can either take a gander at Red Sensation (once I figure out how to publish a Wishlist on there, I’ll post that link) or you can browse my Amazon Wishlist.
As I said, it’s not a requirement to get me anything. In fact, please don’t.
