F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2010!

All thanks to Class 95 for the F1 weekend!
We felt like we went for a short trip. :)

Compared to the 1st year in 2008's, the Circuit Park is much more interesting.
It might be the Padang section is more expensive compared to Marina Bay's (which we were at in 2008) hence the fancifulness.
Unlike in 2008, we did not reach as early as 3pm for Saturday & Sunday as we needed some rest.
Hence, before and in between the practices, we were rushing around taking pictures & visiting the merchandise stalls.
Took with lots of mascots!
And, not forgetting the beautiful sceneries of our small country.
I really love the backdrop of the brightly lighted Esplanade Bridge running below MBS & also City Hall against the track.
As for merchandises, he wanted the Ferrari cup but was sold out.
I was thinking of Red Bull's #6 (Webber) Tee or Cap.
But I gave up as they cost $60 each and I know I won't really use them.
Kinda regret now!
If I ever go to other GPs, I will make sure I get something unless its over a hundred.
As for the entertainments, we watched performances of Daughtry, Missy Elliot, Adam Lambert & Mariah Carey!
I think we enjoyed Daughtry's & MC's quite alot, esp the latter who is his favourite.
A pity we were too far to take clear pictures but I've got lots of videos! :)

Back to the main event.
We were a little bored as we got into P3.
But we spent lots of time during the 3 practices to take photos and videos so that we can concentrate on the Raceday.
He has quite a few clear pictures.
Excitement started to kick in during the Qualifying as the fastest lap was clocked by a few different drivers during the practices.
Alonso got pole.
I was so looking forward to the Drivers Parade.
And, I think I was busy cheering and ended up I couldn't see Webber clearly! :(
But I caught quite a good glimpse of Vettel, Alonso & Schummy. :)
When the race starts, oh man, my heart beat like how it did 2 yrs ago!
I remember the feeling and it feels good I must say.
Schummy's & the other duno-wat -ugly car slowed down infront of us due to some faults.
Kubica overtook other cars twice infront of us.
And, when we see some other drivers getting real close to those we support, we really got very nervous.
When Ham got knocked out, we cheered real loud with other anti-ham audiences. :p
And, luckily nothing serious from the fire on Kovalainen's car.
Finally, when Alonso won (means Ferrari won), we cheered even louder! :)
I was very happy cos Webber moved up from 5th to 3rd to get up to the Podium!
Its a Alonso, Vettel and Webber podium.
NICE!

Oh ya we rushed to Stereolab's official launch - The Black Party - on Saturday after the Qualifying.
Its complimentary also cos he applied the tickets using his DBS Black card.
Anyway, either we left too early or the advertisement was too exaggerating - we did not see a single driver there.
But, we get to enjoy free champagne & take a look at the new night spot.
Just when I was real disappointed, we saw some Petronas crew members at Pan Pac and so I told him I suppose Schummy is staying here.
After that we saw Nico Rosberg almost immediately!
He is very handsome but short.
Wanted to go over to take a picture but it didn't seem nice to interrupt him and his friends/family.

Im now really looking forward to go to other F1 GPs.
Especially KL & Australia, I don't know why.
Haha.
KL maybe cos is the most probable given its location and cost.
Australia maybe cos of Webber?
HAHA! :p
Thought of doing that in Japan, but I think its not very worth it.
Let's see where and when we will go next. :)

F1 Rocks!!!!!!!!!!

Our First Time...

To take part in a question and answer session in a public place!
And is together!
Haha.

We were at Raffles City a day after he won the F1 tickets.
There this mini F1 roadshow and saw people winning some stuff.
So we went to take a look.
Then he was telling me its just the car decal (which he already got) and some small things.
I was like,"CHEY!"
Then suddenly the emcee came to ask us to go upfront and try!
Heng not many people around.
Then the "Grid Girl" still suggested asking us each a question.
They were easy question - This year is the number what year for Singapore Grand Prix? & How long is one lap?
I think they were trying to show us the answer on their board but then it was kinda far away & I wanted to say I can't see.
But don't want make them lao kui since I know the 1st ans which was meant for me.
Haha.
We got 2 sets of car decal, postcard & a checkered flag.
Cheapo Stuffs. :(
Haha.

And, I just joined the Welcome the World F1 Blog Marathon contest!
First question will be on a known blog address.
With the answer, it will lead you to the 2nd address then the 3rd.
With the final ans, send a mail to their email address.
Everyday there will be duno 10 or how many winners.
Yesterday I was stuck at question 2!
Today I only spent 3 mins to send them my ans.
Hope I win that small keychain.
Haha!
I actually join just to practise for Wed's cos its a pair of tickets!
Win le can give my sis and fy then we can go tog!
BUT I realise Wed Im meeting sy and sisters.
See if my iphone will be fast or not.
Hehe.
:p

Anyway, the class95 won't be mailing the pass to him. :(
Have to go down to collect when we can't take any leave on the given dates/timings.
Hope they can extend til Friday morning so that he can go and collect it before his reservist briefing.

Editted:
I didn't win the keychain.
Haha.

2010 Formula One Singapore Grand Prix!

As some of you might know, we went to the 1st F1 held in SG in 2008.
Last year, we were not very eager about it and did not really thot of going.
This year was somewhat different.
Somehow we kept checking out the prices and availability.
I was much more interested in the concert actually, especially with Mariah Carey performing!
And, I really thot of buying the tickets (thou Im not sure if the concert tickets are sold seperately).
However, we didn't really want to spend on SG F1 this year.
I was even telling him, "it's ok, we save the money and go to KL, Australia, Japan's Grand Prix next year and the years ahead."

Today, while I was busy clearing my work at 5pm, he suddenly message me to ask me to listen to Class 95 cos there's a surprise for me.
I was already tuning in to the fm so I increased the volume.
So he managed to dial in during Cartunes!
It was a question & answer session between him and another ger!
They were supposed to shout their name after the DJs (Jean & Bob) finish each of the 3 questions to answer them.
All 3 were answered CORRECTLY by him!
Really F1 fan.
Haha.

Question 1: What is the engine that Torro Rosso car use?
Him: Kelvin! Ferrari!
Question 2: Who is the last English Driver to win the championship?
Him: Kelvin! Hamilton!
Question 3: When is the year Kimi won the championship?
Him: Errrr, Kelvin. 2007.

And, he got all right!
Therefore, he won F1 ticket(s) worth $1.2k!!!!
And, that includes the concert!
We were so excited and kept discussing until he said, "don't get too excited, im worried its one ticket not a pair."
My heart immediately sank.
Haha!
Really hope its a pair!
I wana see Webber!
I wana see Mariah Carey & hear her sing live!

It better be a pair.

Editted:
We realise right answer to question 2 should be Button since he is also an English!
