F1 Qualifying!

AND I WENT DOWN TO THE F1 TRACKSSSS!! I GOT TO GO!! super super super exhilarated. It was such a god-given chance anw..was still ranting yesterday when the test trials were going on, that I'd give anything to be at the race, and today at 630pm, Tiffany called with an extra ticket with Ben that they didn't want to waste!! OMG omg omg. wooots! THanks Tiff! It was super exciting and I'm really glad u chose me to ask along! :)

We sat near the corner at the bend near the floating stage marina, and the view was not the most awesome, but it was thrilling enough! Ours was the bend in the road, where the cars had to slow down abit, so we really got to see the details of e cars and caught a tad more action.. it lasted pretty fast though, after a zooming past a dozen times, which barely took half an hour, five racers were eliminated. Then there was a break in btw for the pitstops, and then more zooming again in e next ten minutes, and it was really intense cos Lewis Hamilton, supposedly e best, was like the last of the top ten previously, and in e second part he got first, then became second as he was trashed by Masa. Okay I don't really know much, but I'll read up soon! haha.
Anyways the excitement was in the air, and i think the night added to the thrill of it all.. Why Singapore so small..if we had more land to dedicate to night racing we could have it all year round! But then. I still think its a waste of resources. lol. Heaps of people came down tho! I think lots of money was made from this. There were Germans, Spanish, Italians, Americans..basically angmohs of all sorts.. and oh yes! Jamie Yeo and Glenn Ong came late and they sat like, 6meters away from us! haha and two teenage guys went up to ask jamie for a shot..so amusing.

Btw, as we were squishing our way thru e crowd to get to our grandstand, we passed a whole horde of Lambos parked near marina..walau damn cool shit. Apparently the F1 racers are chauffered around in those..first time I see so many lambos! haha so swaku.

And the best part is, when e races were done, the throng of ppl started shifting to exits..Damn alot of ppl i tell u. Me, Tiff n Ben decided to wait..and guess who came by! LANCE! haha and we stay in e same place!! So we decided to split, and I am so super lucky Lance got an SLR w him! Tiff n Ben shlda stayed. We tried studying abit on the brightly-lit seats, but after like. 15mins we couldn't take it cos the track was open!! We snuck down and took pictures w his SLR.. wahahaha! How many ppl can say they did that. On freshly raced grounds! lol. took photos w the tire marks and the dangerous bends and the road, everything! hurhur i think I really swaku to the max. But it's just something i think not many ppl would've done before.. only can look from behind the cages of the WORLD'S FIRST NIGHT RACE EVERRR!! haha super happy!!

The cool pictures are still w lance of course, who's damn sweet and said he'd burn them into a cd for me. He really caught damn closeup shots of the cars at e race too! SWEET. esp my fav redbull car. Will post them up when they're here! Felt bad cos he took pro pics of me and was coaching me on photo-taking skills e entire time but my standard still cldn't match his..so sorry lance! Hope pics of u still turned out fine.. :P

Okay 'nuff said, I'll juz post the sad few pics I took! V good can catch e cars w my canon alr...haha. :)
