There's only 1 word to describe F1... deafening!

I read about Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Reikkonen and the others.. but I'm not a F1 fan. In fact I was rather annoyed by the traffic jams caused by road closures for the F1 event. I was caught in so many jams at the perimeter of the F1 site over the last few days.

Hubs told me we were invited to this BBQ event at the Marina rooftop Saturday night where we would have a nice view of the race. My response was luke-warm. There's no way we could drive there and the thought of jostling through the huge crowd did not excite me.

I was right about the crowd. We parked our car at Bugis Junction and took the MRT to City Hall. The stretch through City Link was unbelievable! So many people about! Many in the red Ferrari polos & Ts.

The moment we stepped out of the underground shopping centre into Marina Square, we heard it. That unmistakable roar of racer zooming past. That was when I felt the thrill. We quickly made our way to the Marina Square rooftop tennis court where the private event was held.

Forget about the food. Lousy. But the view was good! We could see on-coming cars on one side and the cars making a sharp 90 deg turn at the other side. The cars were travelling very fast and I could see sparks when they braked to negotiate the bend. It was really exciting! And the noise was very very loud. Were given earplugs but those didn't help much. And I couldn't help but remembered Gu. He complained about his friend calling him up just to let him listen to the roar of F1 cars. I sent him a SMS asking whether he wanted to hear that again.. heehee..

I was so glad I brought along my video cam. I'm editing a video clip I took and will upload it to YouTube.
