Living It Up

At the Singapore GP on Friday night. We took Bryan along to watch the practice session. It was an adventure for him.

We took the new MRT City Circle line from the North-East down to the South. It's very convenient now. Previously we had to stop at a station and take a bus to the entrance. Bryan is always very excited to take the MRT. He gets to tap his card at the entrance and exit. And then he gets to sit on the very fast train. From the MRT, there is a 5 minutes walk to Gate 1.

Hubbie had Sky Suite Tickets. Which means we get VIP treatment. It's a bit of a walk from the entrance to the Pit Straight. We took the lift up to the top floor. And at the Shell Suite, we were greeted with air-conditioning, a full dinner spread, dining tables, TV in the suite to watch the races. There were hosts there to serve food/drinks. There was even cocktails and Bryan had an ice-cream. Hagen-Daaz no less. And if you wanted to watch the action live, just head on to the balcony. There are seats there, right across from the Pit Garages. With the names Massa and Alonso. Just a few garages away was Schumacher. We could see the drivers go in and out and the pit crew working. Sooo exciting. So much better than watching it on the tv. So this is what living it up is all about. I think I was more excited than Bryan. Heh.


On top of that, there was the Village Stage nearby. Here's where music performances were staged. So happened that Daughtry was performing that very night. I've never actually been to a rock concert. It was fantastic. They were fantastic. To hear the band perform LIVE on stage. Not just on the CD in the car. So this is why people pay hundreds to see bands peform live.

A once in a lifetime experience. I'll never be able to just get grandstand tickets and feel this excited. Isn't Hubbie just the BEST!

We got back late, almost 11pm at night. Bryan was still excited and didn't get to sleep for almost another hour. But he had a lot of fun. He was so excited he didn't stop talking all the way there and most of the way back. (The above is my best photo, taken with my Panasonic Lumix camera. I love my camera. Hubbie picked it for me. )
