Approximately 8yrs ago I was in Melbourne studying for my Degree. My fellow University mates, persuaded me without success to part with A$300+ (can’t remember clearly) to watch a once in a life time F1 race at Albert Park, Melbourne. I have two reasons for not going, firstly as a student A$300+ was a lot of money and secondly i was thinking “what’s so great about few cars racing each other?”. I was partially wrong but my friends were wrong too because they told me that “F1 will never come to Singapore!”.

With great fortune, a close friend of mine invited me to attend the F1 qualifying race on the 27th September 2008. I rejected the offer initially but changed my mind once i found out that our seats were located at the pit grand stand! Anyway to cut a long story short, the action and atmosphere was great and i felt in love with hot burning tyres, thunderous engine noise and hot babes. On the flipside, an $8 coke (can) and $12 burger are something that i will complaint about for a long time. Saving the best for last, here are some photos i took during that night.

p/s: I fell in love with F1 but still will NOT spend S$300 on a ticket. Any sponsor for next year?
