HAI GAIZ

HAI GAIZ, I'm jy once again. not. Dneo's back! Zomgzomgzomg. Yea it's really me. Really. Yea, and as jy said, I'm back from the F1 race.

My father somehow randomly got 2x 3-day pass to the F1 race, and so my family of 5+1 decided to go there in pairs of 2. Bro went with gf, mom went with dad, so that leaves me to go with my sis. The event started really early, 3+pm i think, but we were slackers so we decided to go there at around 6pm instead. Okay, so what's there to do at the 2008 Formula 1® (Singtel) Singapore Night Race? Here's a list of what we did:
1. Cam whore on trip there
2. Find gate
3. Cam whore in front of gate
4. Go past gate (got back check so I didnt bother bringing a bag, just dump everything into sis' bag)
5. Cam whore past gate
6. Get lost in human river - we went downstream the wrong way for like 150 metres, then cross over and went back the other way
7. Cross temporary overhead 4-man-wide bridge that is covered up so it makes it look like we're crossing over. (Imagine a white overhead bridge. The sides are covered up. It is narrow. You are waking along it. There are people walking the other way on the other side. It is relatively dark. The only lights are those coming from above. Shining through the overhead fence.) I swear it gives me a creepy feeling.
8. Go to esplanade
9. Cam whore in front of esplanade
10. RACE STARTS (or rather, practice run starts)
11. Watch cars zoom past
12. Watch more cars zoom past
13. Attempt to take pics of cars
14. Cam whore to celebrate SUCCESS
15. Walk around cause bored
16. See tourists get ripped off by exorbitant prices ($3 for bottled coke, $2 bottled water, $5 for random cake, $??? for tiger beer)
17. See every white male tourist from the western isles hold a cup of tiger beer
18. Somehow arrive at padang
19. Laugh at extorbitant prices of the food republic stalls there ($8 small $10 large)
20. Watch the big screen at the padang (place reminds me of Nike 10k human race)
21. Cam whore between parts of watching the action unfold on the big screen
22. HUNGRY. So need to go back to marina square.
23. Repeat actions 1-21, minus actions 6, 13 and 14.
24. Get stuck in human jam after everything's over

The jam was really bad, imagine 5 thousand people, then imagine a temporary overhead bridge 4-man wide. Yea, THAT bad. Luckily, we managed to singaporean our way to the front, and we only got stuck in the jam for like 15 mins. I swear the last guy would have to wait at least 2 hours. Some semi-drunk western dudes were getting pissed, it was quite funnny. Oh, and my sis almost died from suffocation, cause shes quite short, and everyone else was towering above her. Including me. This is the typical situation, where 4 man can hold off an army, Singapore style. All we need to do is place 4 security guards in the centre of the bridge, and the whole swarm of 5k++ people would be stuck there FOREVARR. Ya.

Okay, thats it. I'll take my leave here. Gotta prepare for Japanese lessons zomgz. And english. And maybe econs. Or physics. Or math. =)
