Cafe Bali, Seminyak, Bali

This is where chic, quaint, trendy and fabulous all rolled into one.

Located in the happening area of Seminyak in Bali, the cafe boasts casual Western, Dutch and French foods.
It's definitely a place to be seen as many of the diners here are gorgeous and freshly tanned Europeans and Aussies.

The mainly white interior is colonial-chic and something to enjoy on as you dine....

A friend and I went there for an evening dessert. But the cafe serves brunch right through to dinner.

The fresh fruit salad, juice and the oh-so-heavenly-melt-in-your-mouth chocolate moelleux (molten chocolate cake) only cost us S$12 altogether... (insert gasps, oohs and aahs here).

Totally heart the place, food and crowd. A must when you come to Seminyak, Bali.

PS: Dress casual chic. It's an (effortless) competition to look good here.

Audi Kaleidoscopic event

We made a trip down to the Audi showroom at Leng Kee Road, Singapore for their Kaleidoscopic event.

We also got a tip-off that the Audi A3 Cabrio will be launching in May during the Audi Fashion Festival ;)

Audi Q5 Test Drive

More pictures from the test drive ;)
And we also found the Q5 secret hideout!

Audi Q5 Launch @ Marina, Keppel Bay

Audi's marketing team was extremely innovative in launching its new SUV in conjunction with the Boat Asia 2009 event.

We had a chance to test drive the two variants which were launched, the 2.0TFSI Quattro and the 3.2FSI Quattro, on a specially designed one-hour route in Singapore - with even a pit-stop at Laurent Bernard Chocolatier for a chocolate appreciation session! Here are some pics from the event ;)

Waterville, Lake Edge

Waterville is one of YTL's latest development smacked within a gated community at Lake Edge, Puchong. Close to the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the residences feature semi-detached homes with a private lap pool.

These homes features 3,800 sqf of built-up space with four bedrooms and a maid’s room – all on a standard lot size of 40 ft by 85 ft. And if that's not enough, the development comes with a 12-acre lake featured within the community~

Breaking away from conventional design, the houses feature floor to ceiling windows which means more natural lighting and smaller digits on that electricity bill of yours ;)

Right outside the living room is your private pool... although we must warn you that the monthly maintenance of a pool that size would easily set you back by RM500 every month!

But if you're into early morning swims or perhaps if you just enjoy lounging by the poolside, the pool may seem to be a good investment...

Waterville also comes with a luxurious rooftop bathroom which includes designer fittings and an outdoor shower (perhaps not the best practice, but the concept still sells itself!)

Fancy a sky garden as well? It's just right outside the master bathroom...

There are about 50 Waterville units, priced from RM1.59 million each, and are currently in the advanced stage of construction.

To find out more, visit Waterville from YTL Land.

Lamborghini Academy

We were figuring out how on earth do you drive one of these machines?! Horsepowers is one thing (we see that the speedometer reads 340km/h), parallel parking is another (thanks to the rear windscreen which is almost non-existent).

But that is secondary. If you have EUR3,900 to spare (no, your eyesight is perfectly fine) and if you want to get behind the wheels of a Lamborghini, now you can! Open to super-car enthusiasts and Lamborghini owners, Lamborghini Academy is holding a number of training events throughout this year.

The recent Lamborghini Winter Academy gave participants a chance to test the car's road-holding abilities under extreme conditions.

Also, providing an opportunity to freeze themselves silly at Cortina dAmpezzo in Italy. Nevertheless, a great breakaway from the heat and humidity that South East Asia is well known for.

Interested already?

Find out more at Lamborghini Academy. Ruthless women drivers may want to read the terms and conditions carefully ;p

Audi & BMW Billboard Wars!

Whilst adverts like this are banned in this part of the world (because we all live in a "diplomatic" community, governed by rules aplenty)... here are two Germans in sunny California pulling a Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

Audi's A4 advert first made it up on the billboard, which was soon retorted by BMW's M3 "Checkmate" reply.

Funnily, Audi USA then resorted to consulting its fans through its Facebook for THE ultimate comeback. Here's one which we thought was pure obnoxious.

The Audi R8

While we let BMW battle it out with Audi, here are some aesthetics reasons why the Audi R8 is perhaps the rightful KING.

But honestly, with the economy jumping off the cliff now, is this what the world needs right now? Well, a lil inspiration won't kill for a Monday right?!

We did warn you that it was for inspirational purposes only.

But if you have spare cash from last year's bull run, here's the place to head to:
