Singapore's first night race - Formula One Grand Prix





Sorry i didn't have the time to post this entry up.
Been too busy with school, okay and a lil bit of laziness. Haha.
It took me a few days to upload the pictures, eps the videos !
Files so f huge that's why.

Anyway thanks to my dearest sister, i got to catch F1 Live ! (:
She rejected 2 tickets of Grand Stand cos she was going away. -_-
But we managed to catch it from Pan Pacific Hotel and the track itself.
Caught both Day 1 and 3, with Mavis, John and Nicholas joining me on Day 3.

Sister predicted that it would be crowded so we met at Cityhall and walked there together.

Despite the effort of covering up the race track to prevent "free-riders", there are still some parts which allowed people to peek in.




The Grand Stand

Look at the 2 bunches of people !

Outside Gate 7

I must be too happy, my eyes are ultra small here.

Finally arrived at Pan Pacific's Suite at bout 5.3opm !

This is the view from the balcony of the 1st level.

We can see Singapore Flyer from here !

The other side with all the tall buildings

Race Track

Near the balcony

The Suite, Level 1

So prettyyyyyy and comfy, I LIKE.

I was shy cos my sister's friend took the picture.
There was chocolate fondue ! ! ! ! !
You should have seen how happy i was.

Lots of premium wine and champagne that tasted YUMMY !

Just imagine sipping wine and watching the race live.

MORE wines (no space to put up)

Level 2, the bed room

Godiva
This is a f yummy chocolate drink ! !
The taste, it is unforgettable.


We had Jap food at Pan Pacific, damn fresh sashimi.

But after reading Mavis's email bout sushi and sashimi, i wanna puke.

After dinner, we had passes to watch F1 UPCLOSE !
MINE !


The sound was soooooo loud i wore ear plugs

One of the cars coming out from the pit

I had to be super fast with my cam cos they zoooooooommmmm passed so fast.

The people at Grand Stand



No i don't do photoshop, they are THAT fast.
I had to click when i hear them coming, not see.





Back to the hotel, night view from balcony (w/o flash)

My camera sucks (w flash)

This is a better shot

Over all, i really enjoyed myself. Am so happy to be able to catch the first night race in the world ! (: Felt so related to F1 also cos my project group in poly did a marketing campaign for F1. The room was a luxury and i enjoyed my stay there.

On the 3rd day it was more happening cos it was the final race. We rushed to the balcony whenever they zoooom passed and watched the tv's live telecast when they were at somewhere else.

I uploaded 2 of the many videos that i recorded. Enjoy !
