F1 Weekend!

Its F1 weekend this week! If you don't already know about it by now, which rock were you living under all these while? I wasn't very keen to go catch it initially because of the high price to tickets, but thank God Sis asked and bought me a $38 walk-about ticket!








We got tickets to the practice race on Friday. The excitement didn't come to me till very much later. On my way there on the train, I couldn't help but feel everyone around was going to catch F1 just like me. When I finally got to the circuit itself, the excitement level was to its maximum. The sound of the F1 cars might be noise pollution to some but it was music to my ears. I could feel the adrenaline rush everytime the F1 engine roared and zoomed past me. I didn't find the need to get ear plugs or cover my ears at first, but the super loud engine sound eventually got unbearable and I had to take out my music ear pieces to cover my ears lol.


On our way to the grand prix!


Singapore can look so beautiful sometimes


Agreed?

We walked from Raffles Place past Esplanade, past Marina onto the Padang. Mum and I posing for a picture halfway through the journey. Lol.


We then wandered onto the World War 2 Memorial and found a beautiful background for a photo


Sis and Terence's turn


A picture while resting and waiting for part 2 of the practice race to start


We then decided to have dessert at the roadside hawker and guess how much this Ice Kacang cost? $5!


This ice lychee cost $4! We were chopped like tourists.


At our final pitstop in front of the Supreme Court before heading home

I met up with Puss and Valencia for dinner on Saturday evening at Sunset Grill and Pub. Yep its my third time there only this time with a different group of people, but this time, they didn't like it lol.


We shared a bbq chicken and ribs set


Plus fish and chips

And half a dozen of chicken wings and half a dozen of level 1 buffalo wings that I didn't take a picture of lol

After dinner, we met up with Sham and Elizabeth down at Robertson Walk where they had some desserts while I watch a little bit of my Manchester United match (very little indeed). We were having tea and cakes at Laurent Chocolate Bar (the former Chocolate Factory) just beside Harry's when Henry messaged and told us that he has a room up on the 20th storey at Mandarin Oriental Hotel and that it has a great view of the F1 circuit. We decided to rush down but by the time we got there, the race was over. We did however spend some time having fun in the hotel room before heading home.


A picture of the beautiful view with my lousy camera phone


And another


The 5 of us in the room on the bed


There was a horde of Lamborghinis in front of the hotel


What did we do? Post for a picture with them of course!


Oh we found a smart car in the car park of Raffles City too


Look how small the car looks with Puss beside it

We're going back there tomorrow to catch the actual race! Not before enjoying the food and facilities of the hotel of course! Its gonna be an exciting Sunday, something to look forward to at last!
