ABBEY: Another F1 season came in Singapore from September 18-20. We bought Bay Grandstand tickets for the whole 3 days and we saw some actions on Turn 18. The qualifying rounds for the Formula 1 cars was exciting as Sebastian Vettel finished a lap with 1 minute and 44 seconds. Though he didn't matched that record on Sunday night's race, he still proved that he is the champion of Marina Bay circuit. He managed to maintain the lead until the end. For the concert line up, it was great. Pharell on Friday, Maroon 5 got the crowd singing and dancing on Saturday and Bon Jovi capped the event on Sunday. Room for improvements and I hope Singapore Airline F1 committee will look into it. 1. Please open the track as soon as the race ended for the people to go to Padang stage. Bon Jovi was already on the middle of his concert when we arrived there. 2. When opening the track, I mean open the track in Turn 18 so the people can pass thru the Esplanade (under the bridge) just like...

ABBEY: From time to time we became homesick and we crave for food back at home. Yes there are fastfood in the Philippines that are also here in Singapore but the taste isn't the same. Maybe I just want the Filipino-version of that :)  We came to know of Kenny Rogers and headed to Great World City. What we want the most? Their muffins. Unfortunately, Wilma wanted it more than me so she hoarded all the muffins we ordered to herself. We had quarter chicken platter with 2 sides (corn nibbles & mac & cheese) and a muffin for 18.90SGD.  The taste is the same; it is delicious. The chicken is roasted well; no blood or undercooked meat. I hope they can lower the price. WILL:  I am watching a tv series and one of the character blurted out the corn muffin of Kenny Rogers and boom..my brain exploded and longing for the taste of it.  Grabbed my phone and searched for Kenny Roger's Singapore branch and Great World City came up. Before our Saturday ...

ABBEY: A news regarding Two Wings came to my FB feed. I read it and put it on my "To Dine" list. It is located at Pinnacle@Duxton. So I picked up my wife at her office and headed to the foodcourt at Duxton.  For 8.90SGD I got a Chicken Cutlet which is a Chef Recommended item. It comes with 2 side dish of your choice. I had Rice of the day and fries. The chicken is big and crispy. It really made my stomach full. WILL:  I am pretty astounded when Abbey showed me a list of restaurant he wants to dine in to. Yes I am shocked because this is the first time he came up with it.  Two Wings is the first place for us to dine. We went there before our Friday Singapore F1. We luckily arrived around 630pm. Why? Minutes later the place at The Pinnacle@Duxton is packed and there is no available table for other diners.  I ordered their famous wings. They are correct! One is not enough. The skin is crispy, the meat is tender and not bloody. It will be served to...

ABBEY: This is the second time I went to the Pit Lane Experience. I got a pair of tickets from Singapore GP by choosing an icon and voila, I won. At 7:30 we headed to Gate 1 where a long queue keeps on growing. A couple of minutes later and we found ourselves inside and enjoying the Hawaiian dance from The Dancing Fire. The roaming performance and music of Fiesta Tropicale will keep you on the beat.  On the Village stage, the Boys of the Band rendered the version of songs of The Beatles and Motown. It was a trip on the memory lane. After the break, this Michael Jackson impersonator really set the stage on fire. With his copy cat moves and resemblance of the King of pop, Dajiow won the hearts of his fans. Then its time to assemble for the garage experience. Bloco Loco welcomed all the guests with their upbeat thumping of the drums. People took snaps and videos while the teams showed their skills on changing the tires of the car.  We're not lucky to have a sighting of the ...

ABBEY: We were given a guided tour for the Panerai exhibition at Orchard. In it, they showed us the history of the timepieces. They were used on military missions under the sea where conditions were cold and harsh.  Come the modern day, the 44-mm wrist acccessory got contemporary designs and were used by the public as well. We were also shown the insides of the watch. It is intricate and complex. No wonder the cheapest they have starts at 10k SGD. WILL:  I am mesmerised to have lots of watch. I love to see my wrist wearing a huge watch. And almost of my watches were just gifts. :)  When Panerai announced that they will be holding a mini exhibition just outside their Ion Orchard Store, I didn't think twice, I urgently booked to attend one of their guided tour.  After the said tour, it is clearer for me where they were from and who were the first users of the timepieces. After a talk with their watchmaker, I asked how much is the price and I al...
