Motorshow ROX!!! And so does Chinatown... @ 9:51 PM
I wun bother toking abt my boring morn... SO BORING compared to the extravaganza i was treated to later in the day! I wuz struggling to burn a cd using many downloaded software when my dad said, "let's go". I was like "MUST BE MOTORSHOW!!!" So i quickly changed, grabbed my essential CAMERA fone and took 106 to Suntec. After getting the ticks, $10 per pax, we entered the motorshow at Suntec Convention Centre level 4. U noe the feeling when u run and run and suddenly bang against a wall? That was how i felt! Pulsating music, tons of ppl and most of all... the CARS!!! Staring straight at my face was the Lamborghini booth! I went CRAZY. Took out my camera fone and snapped away. First up was the glamarous Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster, in Sunburnt Metallic Orange. GORGEOUS BABE! My camera went snap! snap! snap! as i struggled to shove to the front of the crowd and get seduced by the babes... Hot devils i'd say. The presence of the Murciélago was so great it seemed to have overwhelmed and overshadowed the rest of the show... Behind it were its 2 brothers, metallic silver "baby" Gallardo and a metallic yellow Murciélago. Goodness gracious me! Those seductive looks, beautifully curved 19inch alloys, comforting interiors... MY GOODNESS... i took a total of 40 pictures there. Den i went on the the Subaru stand. I kept edging my dad to get into the Legacy, in a new-found hope that he'd sign the papers for 1 of them soon. But i found that he wasn't pleased by the driver's positioning... although i personally enjoyed the comfort and elegantly crafted interior of polished chrome and Anthacrite leather. When we got out of the Legacy, i turned to the right... and saw drop-dead gorgeous showgirls... OMG... I tot "I'd betta not look.... NO" and turned away. The Mercedes-Benz booth was only filled with antiques, like the first motorcar made and historical timeline cars... not interesting at all for me, except that i met my 2nd granduncle and grandaunt there. Haha.
Den, my dad and i made our way to level 6. From this motorshow, i learnt something. Wherever there's a crowd surrounding something, its either
1) a new/concept car
2) an exotic car or
3) seductive showgirls performing or posing for fotos.
Option 3 stood at the Toyota stand for its new SSC concept car, except the girls werent pretty, juz revealing... The Toyota F1 car interested me a lot! I got my dad to take a foto of me and it, as well as snap up gd, racy-like fotos of it. WAHAHA! Den we went to the Saab booth. The 9-3 convertible looked quite beautiful, but the interior was very cramped. The new 9-3 concept car had sleek headlamps, but the interior was very...futuristically weird. I dun blame it, concept cars arent very accurate to the final production car. Porsche lost its glamour to all the exciting happenings around it. Even the lean mean Carrera GT did not stand out in the crowd despite its unique design. Rolls Royce was a little better, on the fact that the new Phantom is HUGE, and i mean HUGE. 6m by 2.1m by 1.8m. WOW!!! The concept 100 EX, not for production as far as Rolls Royce executives back in Goodwood are concerned, had a very antique look, and plain design. Not attractive. Chevrolet didnt interest us at all. Plain, normal. The bright red Corvette was hidden at the back wif no attention paid to it... boring. I turned to the Opel booth, and saw options 1) and 3). Modern and sexy Tigra and Optra accompanied by sexy, chio *wolf whistles* showgirls! (eh, anyone who goes to the motorshow will definately see showgirls and any person who takes fotos will definately get at least 1 girl in his/her cam) here was something troublesome. A lot of times when i wanna take a foto of a very nice car, there's a showgirl posing. I keep thinking, i'm 14, the showgirl's at least 20, she's posing to the adults, i cant go there and take a foto... but my dad said: If i dun hv any bad tots, no one will. So i kept taking... only when the showgirl was busy posing to others... ^^ Suzuki tried to impress with its new convertible and Swift. Quite a feat i'd say. Beautiful! Haha. Honda next. The new NSX took the centre stage. Looks a Japanese version of a Pagani Zonda, but more modern. The interior was very sporty and beautiful, with an appropriate mix of colours, design and material. Just as i started taking fotos, something red flashed onto my camera screen. I looked up, and saw 4 showgirls preparing to perform on the NSC. Dammit... can i have a pic of the Honda w/o girls?!!! They started with a totally out of point dance, den went into their pole-dancing like performance, wiping their butt against the car, shouting "woo!" etc... haiz... how does their performance relate to the car??? But it started cameras taking away. I didnt. I onli took the car's interior when 1 guy opened the car door. Yet again, when i was taking, a showgirl came to pose... but this Eurasian not bad la... haha. Den i take lor... wah lau... i took an interior foto... den saw stg weird in that foto, onli to see that it was a sexy leg with leather boots on the driver's seat. looked up, girl posing. So i juz took fotos of the girl and car lor... haiz.... haha. Same thing happened when i took the S2000. My dad got into an Odyssey, and was thoroughly entranced by it, juz like he was wif e Peugeot 407. Such an elegant interior! Comfy leather, beautifully sculpted centre console, appropriate adding of cherry wood and an eye-pleasing steering wheel... WOW... Dad, can u buy it??? Nissan was boring. I mean the cars. So wat if got 5 new models? Renault didnt seem to be doing a gd job of designing them. They were designed juz like most Renaults: plain, simple, "futuristic". Gosh... Lexus FLX was kinda nice, with a design looking like its from the year 2100. Other den dat was normal. Plain. Wadever. I made my way to level 4 again for another glimpse of the Lambos. But the Subaru showgirls were tempting la... hayoh... Gosh... the cars were eye-openers! Pity Jaguar, BMW, Volvo, Audi etc didnt take part in the show... i don't blame Jaguar. Its bankrupt. But BMW, Volvo and Audi...
When i went down to the first storey, saw 4 Lamborghinis being parked there. For show!!! WOW! 2 Gallardos, 1 Murciélago and 1 Diablo. I posed wif all of dat and took close up detailed shots. On my final pose, the car suddenly got unlocked. Mother... i saw the owner there. (He was featured in New Paper in March for his dad buying the Lambo and keeping it till he's old enuff to drive it.) MOTHER... I took 140 fotos at the Motorshow in total... ROX!
Den went to Funan. Walked la. I wanted to buy HALO 2. My dad say tml den buy, when we go to BEST. He's able to get points there. Met Tim Chow on the way. Said hi, kena daoed. Mother...
Den went to gu chia zhui (hokkien for Chinatown) for dinner. My dad said the fish head soup there looked gd, so we went to try. We ordered the soup, 1 plate of big prawns in dried chilli and 1 kai lan. The food was so delicious!!! We kept indulging in the fragrant soup, fresh fried fish head, juicy prawns and crunch kai lan! We were but praise of it. Woah! and it was onli $30! Beats going to lots of restaurants!!! Wahaha! Cheap and gd! Wahaha! Although my dad and i were kinda full, we still went for some ice kachang. The ice kachang is diff there. Instead of coloured syrup, brown sugar is used. Added wif milk.... wah lau! Mou Dak Deng! Tok kong! (hokkien for best of the best and no 1 respectively) Wah seh... Satisfaction guranteed!!!
Roxxor, today.... I cant type more... my fingers hurt. When i get rich... i'm gonna bag all the lambos, pose wif e girls (nothing wrong here) etc. 20 yrs perhaps? I hope so...
he left a mark
