F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2008

i was nv a F1 fan, but all the hype of F1 got me hyped up, so i decided to go down city hall and checked it out... and i found a real good spot! just outside Marina Sq's Carl's Junior... at first there were black plastic cloth covering the fences but they all got pulled off, by ppl like me and the stewards! yes the stewards were really nice, they pulled liao then asked us to "sHhhh", or another one who said "u guys pull no problem, as long as it's not me who pull them down". so ya, before the race started, most of the sheets were down already. someone even brought a pair of scissors! v well-prepared.

I managed to stand in the first row, so was just right beside the tracks, other than the fences and all that and man it was ULTRA LOUD!!!! n i din bring earplugs

here's a vid i took...

on their 2nd lap.

pics really cmi, this is one of the best i managed, cos they were going way too fast for my finger and camera to react.

well i need to rush my work now, after all the fun. can't wait for WED!

F1 is in Singapore!

due to all e terrible traffic cos by the rd closure and the rain, my company let us off work 1 hour earlier at 5pm today so that we can avoid the crowd when going home! so shiok! haha... but i didn't go home. decided to go to national library and take a look at F1 practice at 7pm!

the view wasn't really good, cos it was pretty far and i could only see one bend... but at least i got to c it live! haa... n they're really loud, cos the engine was still audible from where I was, in an enclosed area

view from national library, taken from my hp. i know this pic's kinda big, but i need to keep it big for the track to be seen.

n my colleague's gg for Sat's warm-ups... envious.

i'm glad Sg's a night race, cos e nite view is pretty good, with places like esplanade, SG flyer all being lighted up... looks good on tv.

blur as usual

how blur can i get!

today when i stepped out of the house, i wondered y my vision was so blur, was walking to the bus stop when i suddenly remembered i did not put on my contact lens. omg i've no idea y i could actually forget that... gotta rush back to put them on, or else i'll be totally blind for today.

unbelievable!

anyway, F1's starting this Fri! though i dun really follow it, jus caught abit of it when i still had my starhub sports channel, i'm still looking forward to it... tempted to go down and take a look! n Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen are in Singapore already!

New employee

You are listening to Stevie Wonder
(It's your first day at work and all is fine and great)

After 3 months...

You are listening to HOUSE music
(because you are so busy that you're not sure if you're coming or going)

After 6 months...

You are listening to Heavy Metal
(your days start at 0800 and end at 2000)

After 9 months...

You are listening to Hip Hop
(You become fat due to stress and now you suffer from constipation)

After a year...

You are listening to GANGSTA RAP
(Your eyes start to twitch, you forget what a 'good hair day' feels like as you fall out of bed and live on caffeine!!)

And finally, after a second year...

You are listening to Techno
and have gone a bit... well... crazy!

one of my greatest fear

i wun say i'm not afraid, but at least i'm not that afraid of pain, not that afraid of heights, not that afraid of cats and dogs and other fluffy animals... but there's this one thing that nv fails to traumatize me - cockroaches, esp those that fly!!!!

just this week i've had 2 encounters with them alr, prob due to the rainy weather and the fact that my house's on lvl 1. for one of the encounters, i almost TOUCHED it! prob just afew mm away only... waliao... n u know, i'm now so traumatize that whenever i hear some funny sounds in the kitchen, i'll start checking around.

rmb a few years ago, when i was closing the toilet door, one actually dropped from the ceiling onto my arms! wld u believe i actually cried out of fright? LOL, that's how scared i am of them...

but just too bad, they'll alw be around... just dun let me c a headless one someday. (since they can survive w/o a head for 1 month...)

need get back to work now... there're so much to do, need to chiong cos the deadline was today. =(

*my bro's finally gonna b out from bmt tml!

entertainment

UnUsUaL added another show on the 13th for Mr Andy Lau's concert due to the overwhelming response and i just bought another 2 tix for my bro and i.

it alw seems that when i'm deciding whether to go to a concert, their songs will start appearing around me. for both Cao Ge's and Andy Lau's concerts, when i was in the midst of deciding, my ipod will alw shuffle to their songs and i'll also keep hearing their songs on radio! ultra tempting.

and now, i'm broke.

anw, do go catch this show...

one wonderful example of "actions speak louder than words" - no flowery language required to put the points across.

it's nice to have someone who'll alw be there...
I LOVE WALL.E

Beijing Olympics 2008, and some meaningless rants

I've long wanted to blog on this but haven had the mood to really start typing... so now, while waiting for my hair to dry, here're a few things from the olympics that left really deep impressions on me.

1. Michael Phelps. 8 events, 8 golds, 7 WR & 1 OR, with an event winning by a mere 0.01s. enough said.

2. Usain Bolt. this guy is really interesting man! first time in my life i see someone slow down to celebrate BEFORE crossing the finishing line. some may say he's arrogant, to me he's entertaining to watch.

3. Team Singapore - Tao Li swimming in the finals, and our table tennis getting a silver medal! look out for feng tianwei during the next olympics! i think she'll b big~

4. Matthias Steiner, delicated his gold in weightlifting to his wife, who passed away last year in a car accident.

5. János Baranyai. again from weightlifting, he dislocated his elbow during the competition! when i saw a pic of it in the papers, it's jus omg OUCH. still have the image in my mind... ouch!

6. Natalie du Toit of South Africa. she competed in the women's swimming marathon 10 km despite being an amputee. really admire her.

ok! that should be all.

Yesterday was Teacher's Day, and i received a few cards and present from my tutees. really sweet of them. and of cos, thanks to those who wished me Happy Bday or gave me presents! really appreciate them! =D

anw, i bought Andy Lau concert tix for my parents! they're selling really fast but dunno what's wrong with sistic, cos yesterday the most expensive and cheapest tix were all sold out, with only 4 blocks remaining for the others. but just went to sistic website and suddenly the top 3 categories tix are back again... weird. n now i'm tempted to go after seeing the advertisement on tv!

CSI:NY and CSI are starting soon! but Sara has left, Warrick will get killed off, and Grissom will b leaving mid season... left only Catherine, Nick, Greg... though i can't bear for it to happen, they should end the show.

i'm seriously laggin in <篮球火> and i need to rent a gown asap!

allright, time to slp~ nights!

this post is just so random!
