went with my brother jat and we had an awesome weekend break.
when we got there, we took a few maps and guides to check out what to do and where to go and how to get around.
we got a singapore day pass for SGD18 (10 of which is a deposit when u get back)
i wanted to see the merlion but it was closed off due to the race. the closest i got to the merlion was this
(ps: right bottom corner, isn't this an awesome shot? love my camera!!)
jat and i went around the financial district, saw the parliament and basically walked around the whole day.
this was near the peranakan place and we also visited the malay heritage area.
luckily the weather was on our side on sunday as not a drop of rain fell down. perfect for race night!
i've only started watching F1 in 2008 where Kimi tought my about the race. Now i'm such a fanatic of F1! so when D invited me, i gasped and jumped at the invite!
Button just missed out on podium place and Hamilton got crashed out once again but the Redbulls. what is up with them crashing out and contacting my MercMclaren drivers?! grrr
it was soo tricky trying to snap the cars passing by and the sounds of the cars passing by. oh my - they send chills to my bones!!! we came a bit late so the bleachers were full so the best spot we could get was from one of the corners. after the first lap luizi crashed out and he went passed us!! maanged to snap a pic of him. we stayed here for the first 15 laps or so and then moved over the padang area where we bought some merchandise and watched the race on screen. towards the end i wanted to watch the cars go by coz i could always watch them on screen back at home so we went to another corner to watch the end of the race.
BUTTON!!!
button fans =)
what a brilliant and unforgetable first time f1 experience. the fact that it was a night race made it so much better as it wasn't so hot and humid. and singapore has the most exciting and tricky circuit with the track being narrower and with so many turns. and who would have thought that heiki has talents as a firefighter too?
next day was spent walking around orchard road
will have to come again to singapore to check out Universal Studios!
