F1

22 weeks 6 days

with the overwhelming raves and excitement for the 1st F1 night race, most of the people would love to have the opportunity to view and participate in one of the sessions. Having said that, it would be beyond me to pay for a ticket.

anyhow, on sat night after dinner at Toa Payoh's Ocean (famous for their fish curry), we decide to go pak-tor at Clarke Quay since I have not been there for like ages. Took a walk around and I appear to be the most unglam woman amid the dressed to kill ladies partying away. As we are watching the reverse bungee and extreme swing, heard the roaring engines sound in the distance. An idea striked us and we decide to try our luck by walking to Padang, see if we can catch anything of F1 even at a far distance. A short stroll of about 10mins, we got excited by the nearing roaring engine sounds. Managed to find a spot near supreme court where we can catch a glimpse of the mean machines negotiating a tight bend (of course at a distance through fences and barriers further blocked by banner). We saw Ferrari and Maclaren whizzed by for a few laps and it was so exciting basking in the roars of these mean machines. Just when even Baby is getting excited by more kicks (hopefully it's excitement instead of finding it to be a nuisance), our excitement was dampen when the silly staffs brought forward another opaque black banner obstructing our minimum view totally. Chey!

spent the day on sun for some housework - vaccuming and moping our dirty, incorrigible floor. spent a good near 2 hours and took a bath before cooking some noodles for ourselves and watching the F1 race live on TV. Can't imagine the agony of the racers when our weather is so hot and humid, for them to be cladded in the thick protective suit, stuck in the little cockpit like space racing for 61 laps. The race was indeed a drama packed one and poor Ferrari got nothing which is a little disappointing due to some silly error from the marshalls, dashing Massa's leading grip in the race. The supposedly last hope on Raikkinoen was also dashed when he slammed into one of the bend.

Another 4 more years to go for F1 night race? would be great if there's an opportunity to enjoy the experience not that I'm a fan of F1 but solely for the sake of experiencing it!
