F1 2010

This post is very belated..as with most of my posts now. Too many events and too little time! Here's F1 in Singapore..got free grandstand tickets to the F1.

The thing about the race is the walking. We had to take a MRT to Suntec City, then there was a long long walk to the seat, which included climbing up and down bridges before finally getting to our destination. The worst part about the walk was that I was in heels, as usual, and that it was a gravel path. Walking was challenging. Another of my friends who wore heels gamely took them off at the end of the race when we had to walk back. It was just too much. The tickets should come with a warning about the risks of wearing inappropriate footwear.

This was at the F1 Village and the TV behind shows behind-the-scenes footages.

Behind us is some weird aussie guy wearing his flag. Or is that the UK flag?


 Here's our seat. Pretty good view around the bend. Managed to catch one crash. As I am not a F1 fan, it was really quite boring for me, sitting there with two yellow ear plugs shutting out the buzz of the cars and the din the commentator was making over the loudspeakers. I nodded off once or twice and could hardly keep up with the monotony of the speeding cars.

The hubby would attempt to update me on the technicalities of the race, about who was winning etc, unfortunately, a futile exercise.


 Here's me heading for a toilet break. Relieved to get out of the seat. So sleeeepppy!





Here was a vintage car exhibitions...one of the peripheral events. I missed so much of these events. Missed Adam Lambert, Mariah Carey, didn't take the Singapore Flyer or watch Chippendales. Dang, should have gone with the gals. More fun.

Guy on the left is my friend who we dumped into. The rest of them actually WORK for the Singapore GP! haha! He blended right in!

Anyway, end of post. Will continue the Europe trip when I get around to it...
