F1 2008 in Singapore

Child, Videos

The inaugural 2008 FORMULA 1™ SingTel Singapore Grand Prix will take place on 28 September 2008 on a street circuit of public roads around the Marina Bay area. The race is Formula One™’s first to be held at night, and is their first street race in Asia.

Here’s a glimpse of how it would look like when the speedy vehicles are on the Singapore Circuit:

My boys were so UPSET, seriously upset that we didn’t get tickets for the race, well it was sold out so long ago and we didn’t planned to buy it anyway. Then we came to know that there will be a ‘live’ telecast shown on one of the PAID channels on SCV and we didn’t subscribed to that either, so they were angry AGAIN.

This is how crazy they are over cars. Whenever there is F1 racing shown on TV, they are glued to it from beginning till end. Seeing the cars going round and round for so many times, going into the pit stop, getting out, colliding and all of those would never fail to stick their little butt on that sofa.

So Allan and I went for a drive round the circuit before the road closure to ‘see’ where we could have stand in order to get a glimpse of the excitement ‘live’….We found lots of ‘opportunities’ but they were unsuitable for the kids, ‘cos the fences are so high, Allan’s and my arm would probably be broken by the end of the race, carrying them,hmmmm….so we dropped the idea altogether.

Guess they’ll just have to make do with their hot wheels cars racing on their miniature race track at home then…..

(Add-on: Today – 26th Sept)

But hey hey hey, I just found out that the one and only night F1 race is shown on Channel 5 for 3 days starting from today…
Today 26th: 10pm-11pm Practise Session
Tomorrow 27th: 10pm-11pm Qualifying Session
Sunday 28th: 7.30pm-10pm “Live”

Yeah!!!! So my boys are FINALLY happy now! *wink*

So we went for Japanese Buffet at Hanabi in Kings Arcade. It was amazing! Kids below 5years old dine for free. I’m glad WE had this PRIVILEGE, ‘cos the kids really don’t eat much. Everything was perfect except for the ending….I have weak, very weak stomach and hence at the end of the 1full hour of non-stop eating, I had diarrhea, really really bad…so bad… I couldn’t wait till I get home…

But that’s not gonna stop me from going there again, cos’ ‘ITS THE PROCESS THAT MATTERS, NOT THE ENDING!’ *wink* It would probably take a 100 men to pull me away from a Japanese Restaurant. *laugh*

So here are the snapshots of the wonderful time, its a pity we didn’t managed to get a family photo taken while we were there, too busy eating….and by the time we stop eating, I was heading for the toilet….*laugh*
