Weekend fun


Marathon

Yup went through a Hong Kong Drama Marathon with my folks on Saturday Night, Moonlight Resonance. Man my mom said "keep watching, keep watching". So we watched a entire disc worth of episode.

Truthfully, i wanted to know what happened next too. Ever since i started watching Hong Kong dramas, it makes our local Drama look like crap.

Our local dramas are always full of bad acting, lousy script and the over -used Rape scene which is a little overrated now. Looks like script writers went for the same upgrading course, "How to write a rape scene".

Well there were a lot of eye watery moments in the Moonlight Resonance as they focus on family and the issues family goes through.
Well to tell you the truth, no local drama have ever made me feel this way. Sure, they do have a few good local dramas once every few years, kinda like the World Cup but don't you think it's about time we fire the old directors and employ better ones and make sure the cast can carry the script.

You see, mediacorp knows that our local dramas can't really stand on it's own so we get lot's of foreign shows to fill the time-slot, which always generate better ratings or use the winning formula, Comedy which I think what we Singaporean are good at. Every Singaporean has a funny bone in them.

But due to the strict broadcasting law we have here, a lot of jokes have to be tonned down thus destroying the funny factor of it. Well the law is there for a reason i guess and not every Singaporean are as open minded as the others, some people only seen the void deck of their outside world and are unwilling to travel beyond that.

Back to the point, we still have a long way to go to match the standards of shows like Moonlight Resonance.

How did you all spend your F1 Sunday?

Ask me ..ask me :)

Haha , I had steamboat, or i call it it F1 Steamboat at home.

Man it was awesome, beer, hot food, F1, My family, May May and Lucky.
The perfect union.

The race was not too bad, full of drama and action and after bout 2 hours, Lewis Hamilton won eventually(which is the only driver the Singtel Grid Girls recognizes) ,sadly.

Overall, it was entertaining to watch and well we were too full to think anyway.

Haha.

I hope you had a fun F1 Sunday too :)

Vroom!!


"I feel the need, the need for SPEED"

Vrooom!! and they disappear.




Appearing in front of you less than a second.

However you cannot put a price on the vibrations, the smell of burnt tires and the need of speed~




Yup, we got the tickets for the Friday's F1 Walk -bout tickets.
Had a heavy dinner at Sakae Sushi Buffet. Mann, we almost weren't able to walk out. Then headed for our designated entrance to experience the F1 madness.

As usual, the heat's there and so were the crowd.
Kudos to the management and security for keeping the flow of the crowd and there wasn't a jam.

We bought the F1 survival kit for 2 bucks but i tell you, it's worth the money, 1, the funds' are going for a good cause and 2,unless you wanna lose your hearing, the ear plugs inside will save your ears.

Well as i told May May, if you want to 100% protect your ears,

swallow it like pills,

HAHA, well i thought she would buy that though.



So this is how you will look like putting this on, well May May has her hair to cover but well it looks as if i have not clean my ears for a long time.


Anyway, look after your ears.
It also comes with a rain coat and a map.

Took a couple of shots here and there and the backdrop is just beautiful.



After walking around for about 2 hours, we made our way to the F1 village and was able to secure ourselves some seats and got some nice refreshments which caused a bomb.

11 bucks for 2 ice-cream and 2 bottle of Pepsi.

But hey, it's better than being all grouchy and thirsty so it's worth the money and trust me, nothing is cheap there.

They should re-name it the "suck your pocket dry" village.

There were alot of performance there to in between the race.

Like the Belly Dancers,



Drummers


They were irritating i must say, wanted to punch 1 of them(as in the drummers).


There were also lot's of vintage cars on display, pretty cool.




So there's everything for everyone there, except for kids though. If they decide to bring a clown in to entertain them, well you will see people like me throwing the clown on the race track for some F1 target practice or some "Mythbuster" experiments.

Haha well yea it's a classy event, don't bring the clowns in.

I have nothing against clowns well i do love the Joker in The Dark Knight.

All in all, it was fun and both of us really had a blast there
.


Haha some more shots,
F1 Fun Fun
