» Locals say The Fullerton is where the best view is when it comes to the Formula 1 races held in Singapore, but, to be honest, a 360 view has nothing on being near the vroom-ing roar of engines, right at the heart of the happening. Unless you were to throw a party for 40 in your suite's veranda, it's probably a better idea to splash on getting actual tickets to the event than paying five times the usual room rates. For a first-timer to this whole night-race experience and F1 weekend in Singapore, there is nothing quite as infectious as the collective gasps and cheers every time a race car zooms by or how one derives guilty pleasure when witnessing a crash.
Gentlemen, start your engines

» The city is packed with travelling exhibitions this month. A rather grand one watch buffs shouldn't miss is Rolex's Daytona exhibition, which will be at Central Embassy until Sunday. Rolex rarely hosts events and this is probably the only one they will host this year, so hop to it if you're a fan. Encased in what looks like a giant Rolex bracelet, the exhibition arrives in Bangkok for the very first time to display the watch that was born to race: the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona.

» Why do bus drivers in Bangkok drive like F1 racers on ya ba? Because that's the way things are. Why do the trains we use still look no different from when my late grandfather was a young man? Because that's the way things are. Why are motorcycle-taxi drivers completely okay with speeding through a red light? Well boo-hoo-hoo and too bad. Because that's just the way things are.
