went to see the qualifying round for f1 with my sis yesterday!!!
we had to buy earplugs and then we reached cityhall mrt at about 5.10pm. then we went to have our dinner first because we thought that we don't have time or can't come out to have our dinner when the race starts. after our dinner, we went inside. wah. the place was very big... we walked around... asking around where our zone is. the card reads that our zone is number 4, so we walked there. there are tents set up everywhere we go, selling the different f1 mechanise : ferrari, vodafone, brawn gp, the original f1 mechanise... haha. a lot, a lot. i thought that we have to buy at least something as a souvenir. :) so we walked and walked, looking for the less expensive stuff... then we saw a shirt : side by side f1. not bad. cost 40. there was another one that cost 80, a polo tee. both are nice... but 80 is very expensive... we considered for a long time. then we went around and bought a ferrari tank-top. cost 60. wah. heart-ache. and we realised that puma shops sell this ferrari tank-top too and it cost 59! lol. there are other nicer tops in the puma shop in marina square too! haiz. a little regret that we bought the tank-top... well. then after buying the tank-top, we went to buy 2 'side by side' tops. $40. nice nice. wanted to buy a f1 pin too. $15. but it was too expensive... so decided not to. spent a lot... wah.
after shopping around, we went to the grand-stand and stand there. there were many people on the grand-stand and we can't find places to seat. it started at 7pm. the practice session 3. the sound of the cars were very very loud. luckily, the earplugs helped a bit. took some photos but there were very blur... didn't bring camera there so only got my phone camera... there were quite a number of people who bought the big big cameras, the 'zai' ones. i saw some of the photos they took, very very clear. and 'zhun'! meaning, the shot was just nice. can see the whole car and the person clearly. nice... we stand and see for a while, after that, we continued to walk around the tents and went other places to watch the practice round. haha. then at around 8pm, the practice round was over. and the qualifying round was 2 hours later, so we went to marina square... went to find seats to sit down because we stand for quite long. legs very aching. went mac and ate mcflurry... after that, we went window-shopping around marina square... got a lot of f1 stuff... nice!
when it was around 9.40pm, we made our way back to the track. its the qualifying round! haha. we watched for around 30mins and also took photos. then walked around the tents again to consider buying other products... haha. and we went home after that! Lewis Hamilton was in pole position!
and the real race just started not long ago. it will be a nice and thrilling race! haha.
