Warning: This is pictures heavy.
There were not much pictures taken of the F1 race 'cause the racecars were just simply too fast for my simple pocket camera.
All in all, I took more than 1000 photos and more than 30 videos in this 3 day event. (Gasp!)
Well, anyways, let the pictures speak for themselves :)
Day 1
(( Read More! ))
Just came back from the F1 Shakedown, will blog about that later when I have more photos... A preview picture for now:
Really moody right now :(
I was offered a job today... and I was really really tempted to leave my current job.
But is the grass greener on the other side?
The only thing stopping me from leaving my current job now is frankly, the money. The small amount of lump sum I'm gonna get that comes with a bond.
Sometimes really hate it that my life is controlled by money. How I wish I have no debts or bills, and I can leave my current job with no worries about money. Continuing with my current job will mean I am slightly richer in my pockets, but poorer in my life experiences. There's nothing much more to learn in this current job. It's the same old thing day in and out. Nothing challenging. Don't get me wrong, I still like doing what I do at this current job, but the new job offered to me sounded even better.
If I do leave, can the new job offer the same salary with better bonuses?
I really doubt it.
...so depressing.
Moreover, I just checked my email and Fr3b.com has now 3 BB cream samples to try! Have been interested in BB creams for so darn long. Even that miserable few dollars I have second thoughts of forking out 'cause I am really broke and every little cent counts. So bloody stingy of me right? I was never like this. Sigh.
I wish I am back in a carefree world with no car, cards or bills, working part-time in some store with absolutely no worries.
Now worrying how to go Hong Kong next month with no money? Sob. Yeah guys, I haven't mentioned about this so far, but now ya know! I'm going Hong Kong on the 3rd of October! Hope to get lots of pretty stuff back to sell at thesnappydresser, but arghhhhhhhhh money problems. Shall see how that goes :(

Seriously.
I know it's freakin' boring to read every single blog talking about F1 this and F1 that. But I just have to mention this. Is it just me, or the trophy is embarrassingly ugly? I don't understand. Singapore is so kiasu. Must win in everything. And then come up with the crappiest stuff ever. *Rolls eyes*
Have ya seen the barriers? They are as thick as the concrete slabs at the side of the road. Why no thick tyre barriers like other countries? I seriously don't think that the pathetic looking barrier is gonna cushion a racecar going over 200kph while crashing into it.
Coming back to the trophy..
Read this article.
Seriously?
"So I walked around aimlessly on the streets, looking at people and things for inspiration and it helped." - as quoted by Zulkifle, designer behind the trophy
Maybe I can't appreciate nice art, maybe I'm stupid. Maybe I'm just way over my head. But cut up some exhaust pipes, poke them into a steering wheel mounted on a wooden base, and then painting it F1 colours... Wow, that was an absolutely brilliant idea! How inspiring!

First of all, I would like to apologise for the late replies for all those who have emailed me with enquiries regarding the stuff I sell at thesnappydresser. Really sorry!
Had been super busy at work, and I don't have internet access at work, what a bummer. Can't check my emails. I think it's time I get a Wifi phone hehe. Or one of those Blackberry handset thingies... so that I can promptly reply any emails sent to me. :D
My eyes are closing as I type this, so this is gonna be a quick update!
As you have read from my title, I'm going for F1 this weekend! As a volunteer, of course :p Was driving past the roads meant as the track around Marina just now and saw the workers stripping away the lines on the road...by hand. They were trying to peel the paint off slowly one strip by one strip. It's hard work, just for 3 days of racing. Singapore has spent ALOT of money investing for this night race. It's absolutely crazy. The safety barricades, the paving of roads, the pit stop, the grandstands, the medical centre, the freaking bright lights... It's crazy! And it's only for 3 days!
After everything they have to tear everything down and repaint the lines on the roads again. Gee. In many ways, I found this the stupidest event ever. Unsafe, stupid, waste $$$, show-off, impractical, unorganised... but guess I shall not rant about this here.
Anyways, I'm glad to have this opportunity to experience this for free.
Will try and promise to take lots of pictures! (And hopefully get an autograph lol.)
Okay, some pictures when I was there for a mock practise session on Sunday, held at Turf City...
Still trying to remember what each flag and design stand for. Important to know! Can't wait for this weekend to experience it, and pray really hard that it doesn't rain!
Okay, gonna go sleep now. Really really bushed. My work place has an audit in the morning. As I'm one of the key appointment holders, I need to be there, SIGH. Still have to work night shift after that. Tired!
