NEW FOOTAGE: TINY TRUCK TAKEOVER – F1 DRIVERS GO KEI-RAZY IN (UN)SERIOUS TOKYO SHOWDOWN

 


Improbable situations, unfathomable rules, excitable presenters, and extraordinary vehicles. No, it’s not another Formula One reality show, it’s round three of the most formidable F1 competition outside of F1: the (Un)serious Race Series – The Super Ultimate Japanese Racing Challenge Show.

 

The 2023 off-circuit series, which stops off in Japan for this episode, features Oracle Red Bull Racing and Scuderia AlphaTauri drivers pitted against each other in peculiarly local vehicles. Having recently concluded a fun and unique cleaning cart challenge in Singapore, F1 World Drivers’ Championship leader Max Verstappen and Checo Perez take on local hero Yuki Tsundoa and up and comer, Liam Lawson across a series of challenges in a couple of very small trucks. Known as Kei trucks, the tiny, flatbed utility vehicles are normally seen ferrying (quite small) piles of goods around the narrow streets of towns and villages all across Japan.

 

Four competitive drivers, some elaborate, oversized props and an overly excitable host set a scene that channelled the spirit of Japan’s craziest game shows.

 

Assembling for battle at Tokyo’s Ariake Stadium, Max, Checo and Liam were keenly aware of Yuki’s current (Un)Serious Series dominance, with the Japanese driver reigning unbeaten across the first two events, in Miami and Spielberg. If they were going to beat the hometown hero in exacting challenges such as knocking down some supersized bowling pins, they’d have to bring their A-game – and a massive inflatable ball.

 

And they did. After a series of surprising challenges, it was Max and Checo who emerged victorious, shattering Yuki’s unbroken run and on the Scuderia AlphaTauri driver's home turf, too.

 

Celebrating the win, Checo said: “It’s been a funny day, it’s great being part of the Red Bull family as we get to do lots of crazy events around the world, I’d have never expected to be doing this challenge here in Tokyo. I just wish the kei trucks had more downforce [laughs].”

 

Fellow winner Max added: “First and foremost it’s important to mention that we finally won the challenge. The kei trucks have been fun to drive, I haven’t quite found the DRS yet though. It’s been good preparation for the race this weekend, I have a lot of special memories from Suzuka, my favourite memory is of course winning the championship here and also driving in my first ever official practice session too - on a track like this, it wasn’t the easiest but is something I will remember forever.”

 

Even with a competitive advantage of having driven Kei-trucks in his late teens, Yuki remained relaxed at seeing his (Un)Serious dominance disrupted “I drove kei-trucks a couple of times when I was 18. My grandfather had one for gardening. The truck was the perfect size, perfectly fitting and it was fun to drive, very controllable and sharp. This series is always fun, but we are racing drivers, so we are always competitive. So, at the same time we are always serious. It’s an unserious vehicle, but serious racing.”

 

Liam, taking part in first (Un)Serious Series challenge offered insight into what went wrong in Scuderia AlphaTauri’s quest to make it three round wins on the hop. “The highlight was the race at the end, stacking some boxes, and on the way back Yuki made an aggressive turn that I wasn’t ready for and I fell onto him, and knocked it into neutral. So, the last 50m or so, was just in neutral, on the limiter across the line.”

 

Oracle Red Bull Racing has a longstanding tradition of embracing unique local challenges in every country they visit during the F1 season. These unconventional showdowns not only allow the drivers to let loose and have some fun before the intensity of the race weekend but also celebrate the distinct cultures and traditions of each location.


Similarly, last week in Singapore, the team engaged in a memorable challenge at the iconic Jewel Changi Airport, where Verstappen and Perez raced cleaning carts against the backdrop of the world's best airport.

 


The next stop for the four F1 racers is the legendary Suzuka Circuit, home of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix. One of F1’s most iconic circuits, Suzuka was the scene of Max’s second title win last year.

Lifestyle Living, Culinary Excellence: A Sneak Peek into the Amenities of Lanson Place Mall of Asia





Cyan Modern Kitchen Main Dining.jpg
Cyan Modern Kitchen

MANILA, Philippines – With its commitment to bringing the heart of Manila into its four walls, Lanson Place Mall of Asia introduces thoughtfully designed living areas that capture a panoramic view of the city, complemented by five dining venues with distinct gastronomical offerings.

In CYAN Modern Kitchen, an interactive open kitchen and Lanson's main restaurant, both Buffet and A La Carte menus pay homage to Filipino delicacies. Guests are invited to try the classic Eggs Benedict, which utilizes Malabar Spinach or alugbati and coconut aminos from local farms instead of imported spinach and balsamic glaze. This adds not only a local touch to a classic dish but also helps support agricultural suppliers in the area.

Cyan holds a contemporary design with its floor-to-ceiling windows that invoke a flexible space that can cater to both leisure and corporate gatherings. At the main dining hall, diners have front-row seats to the magnificent sunset Manila Bay is best known for. Meanwhile, its private room holds a view of the MOA Eye and even Mount Samat on a clear day.

“The interior design of Lanson Place Manila's restaurants draws inspiration from various sources. The wide spaces mimic the surrounding scenic views such as Manila Bay, the city skyline, and the courtyard resulting in charming dining spaces that set them apart from other options in the area. For our menu, we curated it with meticulous attention to the Filipino market. 75% of the menu was thoughtfully crafted to cater to a diverse clientele. Each restaurant presents an array of international cuisines, encompassing not only Filipino favourites but also an enticing variety of Indian and Spanish influenced dishes. As a Hong Kong brand, we further delight our patrons with menus influenced by the vibrant culinary scene of the Asia-Pacific,” said Lanson Place Mall of Asia Executive Chef Kristine Oro.

From left to right: Chicken Biryani, Twice Cooked Pork Belly, and Sous Vide Salmon.

Lanson Place Mall of Asia takes extra steps to advocate sustainability without compromising their commitment to quality. One example is how they will grow their own herb and citrus garden for dishes and beverages. They ensure the quality of their produce while, at the same time, lessen their carbon footprint.

Chef Kristine Oro states, “Lanson’s commitment to sustainability can be seen through the support of the local community’s farmers and suppliers whose products are at par with international standards. We also aim to minimize imported ingredients by replacing them with local alternatives to enhance the flavour of their dishes.”

Guests can sample the home-grown herb flavours at the Madeleine High Tea, a cosy high tea lounge that offers tiered high tea menus with tea selections from Agusan del Norte served as traditional and cocktail teas. It also provides a vibrant and inviting space for groups of friends or families to enjoy pastries-to-go and a delectable signature high tea, fostering bonding moments. Madeleine High Tea also serves as an ideal venue for premium and intimate events such as launches or art exhibits.

Guests can have a sip of perfectly brewed coffee made with premium beans sourced from both local and international growers at the BLK12 Café|Bar. This versatile café stands as a cosy lounge in the morning and transforms into an upbeat and stylish wine bar at night, offering a lifestyle choice to relax and unplug.

For business travellers, Bytes, a grab-and-go counter, offers freshly prepared meals for busybodies. Nestled in the courtyard, it is the perfect place to grab a healthy meal and a quick breather before a busy day begins.

“At Bytes, we prioritise healthy snacks made mostly from local ingredients that are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and keto-friendly. Packaging materials used are made with biodegradable materials as well,” Chef Kristine Oro said.

On the other hand, the Edge Pool Bar is made for a day of lounging and relaxing. It has a 180-degree scenic view of Manila Bay and the Metro’s skyline. Guests will be able to unwind and enjoy the scenery while taking a dip in the infinity pool.

Well-sized meeting rooms promote an efficient work environment, ideal for hosting conferences and gatherings of any scale. It also ensures accessible and well-appointed meeting facilities for various business events with ample daylight seeping through its floor-to-ceiling windows and easy access to the courtyard for break-out sessions.

For long-staying guests, the Residents’ Lounge provides a calming space to lounge and offers a tranquil environment for relaxation. It features a nature-inspired color scheme and window seating that provides a view of the Galleon.

After a day in the premiere Residents’ Lounge, guests can head to the gym and wellness facilities of the property. The well-equipped gym and spacious yoga studio can accommodate the fitness requirements of both short-staying and long-staying guests. Set on the top floor of the building, it is a perfectly scenic place to hold special classes and lifestyle activities.

Shopee rider accidentally interrupting a wedding shoot shared good vibes online

 


Ever excited when you hear “Shopee delivery po?” Thrilled to receive and unbox the items you ordered online? Been in a panic when no one’s home but your delivery arrived? These are some of our shared experiences when it comes to online shopping. But wait – there are others who experienced more out-of-the-blue scenarios in the most unforeseen time of their lives!

 

That is what happened in this funny video shared by freelance wedding photographer and videographer Papsy Lei. In the middle of a heartfelt parent’s blessing, a Shopee delivery rider, oblivious to such a solemn moment, innocently interrupts with the hope of getting his customer’s item delivered. In the short clip, everyone was humored when the groom was caught off-guard and burst into laughter after he heard what the never-ending call was all about: “Sir, Shopee po.” Is there any better way to make a wedding more memorable than receiving such a mind-blowing call?

 

The video spreads laughs and good vibes online as netizens know that the rider is unaware of the event and is just doing his job. Some users were left cracking jokes about the groom's father pulling back his tears due to the pleasant surprise. Another user commented that she had a similar experience during labor and delivery, “Teka lang kuya, iire muna ako! (Kindly wait brother, I’ll just push this baby out!)” Meanwhile, other users even instructed the delivery rider to go directly to the reception and participate in the banquet.

 

This unexpected encounter proves that Shopee and its riders are dedicated to fulfilling their duties and delivering customers’ needs. So, make sure to request backup or spill the tea to your courier if you have orders out for delivery but have a life-changing event you cannot miss!

 

And speaking of the things you should not miss, Shopee offers various amazing deals that shoppers can look forward to. Like the 9.9 Super Shopping Day, customers can get huge discounts, free shipping, branded promotions, payday sales, and many more!

airasia Digital announces next MOVE, unveiling new era of travel innovation

 


In a strategic move to emphasise its commitment towards travel, the digital arm of Capital A, airasia Digital announces its transformation into MOVE Digital (MOVE). This rebranding marks an exciting chapter in its next phase of growth through both its businesses, airasia Superapp and BigPay.

 

MOVE’s travel platform business, airasia Superapp will also undergo a brand refresh and change its name to ‘airasia move’ in the near future as part of the ongoing transformation.

 

The visionary co-founder of AirAsia and CEO of Capital A, Tony Fernandes will assume the role of Executive Chairman of MOVE. He will play a pivotal role in driving the close collaboration between both airasia Superapp (now airasia move) and BigPay to unlock the true potential and synergy of these digital businesses. 

 

Tony Fernandes, Executive Chairman of MOVE said, “The name MOVE signifies us better as the digital arm of Capital A, and reiterates our commitment to move people, ideas and innovation forward within the travel space. Imagine seamless access to travel and financial services on one single platform, with integrated financial features such as balance display, top-up and payments from BigPay and further strengthening the value proposition of airasia move as the travel app of choice. My role as the Executive Chairman of MOVE will be to enhance synergy between both businesses. With this change, the market can expect an enriching user experience aside from more integration of BigPay features within the airasia Superapp (now airasia move) very soon.”

The airasia Superapp, or what will be called airasia move soon, has swiftly become a one-stop travel platform offering value and convenience through seamless end-to-end booking experiences within the past two years, while BigPay has established itself as an innovative fintech provider enabling Southeast Asians to improve their lives through better financial management.

 

Both of Capital A’s digital businesses have been making significant strides, with airasia Superapp (now airasia move) reaching its highest recorded MAU (monthly active users) of 15 million at the end of the second quarter, while BigPay saw its carded users grow by 16% YoY for the same period.

 

MOVE Digital Sdn Bhd (formerly known as airasia Digital Sdn Bhd) is the digital arm of Capital A Berhad, and encompasses two transformative businesses: airasia Superapp (now airasia move) and BigPay. MOVE is dedicated to revolutionizing the travel and financial services sectors by offering innovative, user-centric solutions at the best value.
