alrite, i know that i'm late with my entries again.
will try to fill you guys all up to the latest news of me.

27th September was the day for the Singapore F1 GP Race Day. wen with good buddy ZS. it was a hot sunny day & my new sunglasses comes in place. met ard 3+ at Hong Lim Market before walking over to Raffles Place area.

I would say the security system was superb, cos basically you need to show them the inside of your bag & go through scan. But this also is an hassle if you move in & out of the race area with the checks to be done again.

First up was the Aston Martin Asia Cup Race. As the name describes, its all Aston Martin-made cars. Managed to capture some of the car images that passed by. There isn't much spectators as majority were waiting for the actual race later that evening. After this race, we went to Haagen Das @ Esplanade to cool down the body. Probably alot of people also felt the heat, already there were people inside the shop & mostly from the crowd viewing the race as Esplanade was closed from public access.

Next up: Formula BMW Pacific Race. Initially both me & ZS tot that it was BMW cars racing. But in actual fact, its not & instead it was like a F1 type of car, but maybe its BMW engine. Although the engine was loud but it was still manageable. With the next race, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Race, coming up, we decided to go take a look at the booths that were set up at Padang area.

I believe all the hot favourite constructor brands of F1 earned quite alot, especially from the merchandise. It was quite expensive for the merchandise & unless you are a fan of it, you can just skipped the booths. Some of the famous night spots, like Dbl-O was also there. Quite happening for the outfit of the waitresses. But as the drinks were costly, we skipped it also. There was 1 booth we came across which was very long queue. It was a booth which draws temporary tattoos. Design of it was quite interesting but think it was a very long queue, we dun bother to go for it.

Soon after we proceed back to where we were watching the other races earlier on. To our surprise, there was alot of people crowding the platform, all waiting for the drivers parade. Tried to take some photos but all were blurred. Think if next year I'm going again, I should get myself equipped with a DSLR. Being a Singaporean & know the mentality of people hogging of the places, we did the same too & skipped our dinner. I went to buy 2 bottles of drink to quench the thirst & ZS went to bought muffins to kill the hunger.

Soon after the warm-up race started. The roaring engines of the F1 cars were loud that I've to plug in my in-ear earphones. F1 is indeed fast & experiencing it live is more enjoyable & thrilling. Though there were a few accidents & not able to witness it was a pity. But at least managed to see McLaren's driver Hamilton to clinch the Singapore GP 2009 title.

After that went home straight as working the follow day. Next up: Batam trip!

Week of the F1 - Part 1 (Tuesday, October 6, 2009)

Late update as before. Just came back from my Batam trip, will update on that later.

Wen to the F1Rocks concert at Fort Canning Park on 24 Sep 09. It features the Chinese artistes: Da Mouth aka 大嘴巴, Sodagreen aka 苏打绿, A-Mei aka 张惠妹 & Jacky Cheung aka 张学友.
Went with my sis since I can't get anyone to go with me. Fort Canning Park was where the concert was held.
1st up was 大嘴巴. was quite good in hyping the crowd. they sang some of their songs like 国王皇后、永远在身边、结果咧. They also sang different renditions of some of the English songs like Tokyo Drift etc.
Performance by 大嘴巴 ended & waited for about 15mins for the stage change.

Next up: 苏打绿. Appeared under the red lighting came the voice of 青峰, vocalist of 苏打绿. Sang lots of their songs like 小情歌、无与伦比的美丽和新歌:狂热。就当大家都狂热起来地时候,突然音乐就停止了。我还以为是在做效果,原来不是,是音响系统出了一些问题。导致演唱会中途喊停,真让人真让人扫新扫兴。也大概等了10分钟左右,演唱会才继续下去,又重头把狂热给唱下去。这首歌真的会使心情感到激昂、沸腾。

过后就由阿妹献声。一开场,麦克风就出问题,阿妹所唱的一切完全是没声的,直到第二首才恢复。唱了几首阿妹的歌后,阿密特就献声了。还带来一首Keane的歌,还不赖哦。也可能因为状况连连,当阿妹唱完之后,就直接下台,也没说声再见。

 之后,我和我妹足足等了40分钟,才等到张学友的出现,真让人火大。也看得出歌神也是火冒三丈,以从后台走出来了,以一头长白发配搭他所穿的服装,又一股颓废样。可能是想以ROCK为服装主题。他一连就唱了5首歌曲,才和观众问好。我和我妹都觉得他的一举一动有点怪,仿佛是打了兴奋剂。之后,他再唱多5首歌曲,阿妹便出来了,与张学友合唱。

之后,全部的表演者便一起大合唱,唱Michael Jackson的歌:Heal The World.
Its getting "late" & I should be getting some sleep. Next up, F1 Race Day.
