Went for a bokeh Photowalk yesterday evening with Raaja and Sara along Bintang Walk and Pavilion. The entire town was filled with nothing but people, lights and Christmas spirit.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Never in my life I have ever thought I'll be taking an evening walk on a Formula 1 pit lane. The below snaps were captured as I walked along the Yas Marina Pit Lane. Part of the pit lane exit runs underneath the track and a walk along this lane will allow you to see all the teams preparing their cars in the garages for the race. You will never get closer to Formula 1 than this!
Hublot is the official watchmaker for Formula 1 2010.

One thing that makes many to look at AirAsia and Lotus Racing is the energy that they potray. They vibrant colours of their brands travel very far. I have always liked contrasting colours and how they blend well on logos. As I move around the Lotus Racing's garage and hospitality, my eyes were busy looking for such colours and beautiful reflections. Let me share some with you.

Here's The Lotus Racing Hospitality. It's at the paddock lane and the finest of all you can find from any F1 tracks around the world.
![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tSlczYH3tmX3cJxVtYV-97DLWsLvq4iD23NSN4bthRP3-zOKYjxkNyuiwADs93Lfw0bVMLcj6qUT7XYdqqiG55aW5VhdupIkIyouGe-eDU7XzSuDXlQFVOz3J6s1zALQ=s0-d)
It's a complte three stories building with the lounge and engineering office at the ground floor. The have offices and meeting rooms one floor up and a rooftop.

A great place to chill out with a cuppa coffee. Or even with some books in your hands. Trust me, it feels like home.

Inside the Lotus Racing Hospitality. You can see Fairuz on the far right corner of the table is having a chat with his race engineer. There are four screens on the left wall for everyone to enjoy the race from the paddock itself.

A view from the second floor looking down at the main entrance. I absolutely liked the light & shadow it gives. Thus, I captured.

This was on Friday. Got back from garage and headed straight for lunch with Anand. And.. yes, that's my headphone next to the plate.

Meet my friend, Fatna. She works there :)

These are two of the team members at lunch before the practice session starts.
