So fast, and the F1 race in Spore is over! no more block roads and zoom zoom noises in the city.
Its actually kinda a weird feeling that everything happen so fast. Just last week i was feeling all rave-y about the whole thing and now its over...just like that in a weekend.
Its amazing that one moment i was whining how how i was not a part of all the exciting activities, stars and glamour and then suddenly i was actually quite a part of it and right even to the chance of entering the Paddock and seeing Lewis Hamilton in person!!! WOW!! all thanks to leo.......maybe my thoughts were heard and haha....it was decided..yes indeed you shall feel the F1 excitement in Spore! haha
F1 is definitely all about glamour, fast cars, young dashing drivers, pretty gals and for the first time pop stars! F1 Rocks! first time in a Grand prix......and spore is the first country to launch this concept which is extremely good i feel. the whole F1 wasnt just the racing but it was a whole party concept, u can say an event .....a festival even. so many many stars came to Spore just for this and it was like...WOW....we never seen anything like this! suddenly the west seem not that far to reach after all.
I even got to see Gwen Stephanie and her new baby boy ! now that was a little surreal cuz i only see these in the US gossip mags! and now they are in front of me!
My whole experience last week started on Thurs - at the first night of F1 Rocks at Fort Canning. Being just across, i was really excited by the boom boom noises from the afternoon rehersals. i decided i had to somehow wait till the perf and hear the stars for myself. i went there at about 7pm + . To my Surprise! i could completely view the whole stage from the side steps of the lawn! Yay..free concert! haha..... it was such a cheap thrill.
Soda green was just about to come on, great. The lead vocalist - the soft one with the whiny voice wasnt as whiny as i thought. in fact i was rather inpressed with his vocals. he did fast alt rock tracks and wonderful ballads effortlessly. nice clean clear voice. The audience i felt could be a tad bit more excited. but then again mando pop fans arent exactly the expressive sort. Haha. Weather was really humid and perhaps they waited since 5pm until feel like fainting in sticky sweat liao. a rather embaressing thing happened for Soda Green thought, halfway thru a fast happy track, speakers when kaput! no sound! and that awkward silence went on for 5 mins or so. aiyah, i think the singer wanted to kill the sound people. some ang mo invited him and the band backstage for a while. and soon the sound was back on.....with intro from the cheesy 933 Djs....(really cant stand that cruz teng's english, its so chinese..twang...eee) luckily the mood sort of came back on. but if were paying for this concert....i will be real mad. its like $185 ! how can this happen?
A-mei was next and same lousy sound .......but he vocals also er.....not good lah. never appreciated her vocals, its kinda blur and raspy. and she looks real FAT. wonder why. image ---some odd looking bird wig.......tw stars image a bit obiang lah.
i left halfway. glad that i caught soda green. They are really good.
Next day, leo called in morning and asked "hey u wanna go for F1?! got an extra space for one..."
Of course! quickly i had to decide the next course of action as it was a working day! ggggrrrr......
but how can i miss this fabulous VIP opportunity experience such a high profile event?!! paddock ah! who in the world can get access....and of course seeing F1 pretty boy (or PCD's nicole toy boy as some say....) - Lewis Hamilton!? aiyo...take leave ah!!!
Luckily leave was approved and zooooooooooooooommmmm! i went down to city hall at 2pm to meet leo.
he was definitely a big star, when he came into the special living room, cameras just went clicking non stop! and i thot every who is in the paddock area wudnt be star strucked by him. but wrong lor.
afterall like my dad said, of the millions of cars/drivers on the roads in the world, this guy is one of the fastest... in the whole wide world. ......ok i gettit. haha true.
he didnt look much diff from that in ads and media but not as short as i thot. about 1.74m. very young and boyish and of course slim and fit. he was friendly (media friendly perhaps) and entertained any questions the kids asked. he answered with sincerity as well......and not dead scripted answers. typical capricon? haha
later we went to watch the Practice race.......cool....the spore evening skyline at Marina Bay area was beautiful! and the F1 cars looked shiny and cute zooming away under the lights....
Hope the F1 event in spore will get better and more happening every year!
