When F1 came to town, I didn't think much of it. I am very into cars but I did not see any fun in seating in the stadium watching the cars zoom past me. I thought I would be bored to death. Also, the tickets were so expensive...
However, when my hubby scored 2 tickets for us to watch F1 for free, I thought why not. Free... I want hahaha. Besides I knew KP and WL would be there!!!!
Anyway, I was quite excited on Fri but we reached Marina quite late. We ended up only catching one practice run even though the races started at 3 pm. Cal and I had a difficult time getting to our seats as the place was thronged with people. There was such a bottleneck that I felt I was going to faint from the lack of air and extreme heat. I had to yell, '" please move" because I really could not take it anymore. There was a group of people gathering round a tent looking at something.. I also dunno what. They were blocking our entrance and that caused a bottleneck...
By the time I got to the seats, I was so hot and bothered. There was 1.5 hour more to the next race so I went to get some drinks. The drink queue was also terribly long... so exasperating.. I waited another one hour before I could get my drinks. To worsen matters, there were two bimbos queuing in front of me chattering incessantly in a silly and affected manner. I pushed my ear plugs further into my ears.
Once the race started, I was captivated by the booming, fast cars. They were really fast! It was so exciting that I sat at the edge of my seat the whole time. I didn't know it could be so enthralling!!! I couldn't wait for Sat to come for the qualifying races. However, I didn't get to go to the finals because I wanted to attend the wedding of my friend. Besides the exhilarating races, there were plenty of fringe events like mini concerts, stalls selling F1 merchandise and DJ spinning music.. All these things gave the whole venue a festive, colourful and exciting feel. :)
I really enjoyed myself at the F1. I can't wait for the next race!!! I will post the pics later!!!
