I know this seems strange that you're gonna look at speeding race cars and grid girls from a girls blog. Not that you haven't before in my previous posts, but hey, you know I was never really into all the girly stuff, sugar, spice and everything nice kinda stuff 😀

Anyway! Another sequel of my adventures in Singapore during the weekend!

Read the previous 3 – Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 *clickety click*

My entry pass for Saturday! This is where life began for me on a fine Saturday morning

Thanks to Maxis & Lotus Racing for the sponsor 😉

That day began early for me, after having my favorite Old Chang Kee curry puff from the store (try it OMG it's unlike any other currypuff I've tried!) I headed off to the Circuit Zones 🙂

Here is a Porshe exhibition with some grid girls in tight outfits prancing around in their killer high heels.

Very pretty Porshes, but I don't fancy them too much compared to my undying love for Ferraris 😀 😀

Another one driving past during the Porshe Carrera Cup Asia Race practice

Fast forward to the night, FINALLY!

It was all about red hot Ferraris.

This is one sexy mean machine

(sorry was really dark. Forgotten to lug along my flashgun!)

It was an exclusive on-track program managed to raise $378 200 in US Dollars for the Presidents charity track parade. It was by Ferrari Owners Club Singapore and there were 25 owners participating altogether!

When I'm much older, more capable & more successful, I swear I'm getting a Ferrari.

Mark my word.

Okay, pretty pretty sights I saw during dinner! The Singapore Flyer in all its glory 😀

I remember spending an entire day up there with the boy a few months back

We're going again soon!

Are you ready for the speed demons?

You better be!

It was a frickin' uphill task shooting all these speeding 360km/h cars. My first experience in shooting F1 race cars was during Sepang F1 Grand Prix : here!

Of panning, sweating, burst modes, smeared left eye make up 😛 These are what you'll get

 Renault – Robert Kubica!

BMW Sauber – Kamui Kobayashi

Virgin Racing – Timo Glock

 HRT – Christian Klien
 

And our top 3 champs!

Say hellllooooooooo to Fernando, Vettel and Hamilton 😀

Fernando Alonso!

Sebastian Vettel!

Mark Webber!

Throughout the race, I was constantly moving all around the whole grandstand to get a better view and a strategic spot!

Absolutely despised the metal cage barricading my camera from the sight. Yeah yeah, I know it's for safety precautions and whatnot, in case F1 pulls a Final Destination 4 on us in Singapore LOL But hey, it was very obstructive 🙁

Here I am stopping at one of the spots I managed to shoot the speeding cars

At the Curve 1 – where those speed demons turn the corner after the pit stop. Drift Drift Drift!

Another oncoming bright yellow Renault – Robert Kubica!

Loves!
 

Lika bright yellow schoolbus ain't it?
 

Force India – Vitantonio Liuzzi

Mercedes GP – Micheal Schumacher

Red Bull Racing – Jamie Alguersuari

Breaktime!

When I left the grandstand to catch my breath, I was stoked to see these extremely stilt-tall men playing their music – entertaining everyone around!

They were just strolling around the entire circuit zone with their musical instruments

There were many kinds of these people around

Below is one more that I managed to catch for a picture!

Poor fellow was struggling to run on his stilts to catch up with his clan

He's like a little lost sheep! 😛

Okay, back on the race tracks!

McLaren-Mercedes – Jenson Button

McLaren-Mercedes – Lewis Hamilton

SORRY the poor guy crashed! 🙁 Getting him kicked out from the race. Disqualified!
 

Here's Hamilton again, just minutes before he crashed. Damnnn!
 

Renault – Vitaly Petrov

I shall spam more piccies of Scuderia Ferrari's Fernando Alonso simply because I was rooting for him (and his sexxxy car) from the beginning till the end. Come on red hot speed demon!
 

Show the circuit who's boss 😀

Alright. I promise you won't see any more piccies of him hereafter 😛
 

(just in case you get sick of him LOL)
 

Well, being a new fan of F1, I haven't followed closely enough to recognize all the cars and especially their drivers yet. Thankfully my good friend Bart helped me out with the identification.
 

Cheers mate

Yes I do realize I look pudgy in the photo as I was trying not to block the logo above me

yet attempting to stand straight. So here you go, a not-standing-nor-squatting version of Jess

To save the best for last, Lotus Racing racecars!

The Lotus Team have been an excellent company being with us throughout the 3 whole days of F1. They were informative and patient in guiding us all around and all we needed to know!

I even got to enter the NO ENTRY zone which was the Pit Stop paddock! Watched how race cars were perfectly engineered from scratch as well. Bits and pieces of car parts were put together by those car technicians, mechanics and engineers. The amazing thing I wondered was how they still managed to look so good looking and well groomed despite having to crawl under cars and getting their hands dirty.

I even got to take over one of their jobs for a few minutes 😀 That's for another story in the next blogpost!

 Meet Jarno Trulli of Lotus Racing
 

Behind every winner, there is a dedicated team of workforce

And I know I played a teeeeeny weeeeny part of it for those precious few minutes of helping them do up the car!

So, somewhere, somehow if you scrutinize hard enough, you'll see which part I laid my hands on! 😀

"Golden touch" LOL

I had an amazing and an eye opening experience! 😀 Thankew Lotus Racing and Maxis.
Oh and I spotted a headless board so naturally, I felt an incessant need to place my head there and be in the shoes of a racer for once!

Say, I look like racer material, do I? LOL. Tell me I do look the part hahahhaa!

Me making a funny face on the right.

The hole was too tiny for everyone and lotsa people had a hard time putting their heads in. I had to just squeeze my face and ludicrous expression in that small hole! 😀

Gooooooood morning!!!!
 

Today's my last day in Singapore. I totally KO-ed last night after such long hours at the circuit zones!

My heart skipped 21487246839471 beats each time the drivers turn the corner. They were so close!! (except for a few who were lagging behind)
 

When Mark Webber overtook Lewis Hamilton, I was like WHOAAAA! Two drivers from Red Bull Racing in Top 3? 😀
 

Alonso at the trophy presentation ceremony

He burst the GH Mumm champagne all over everyone!
 

I was cheering along with other Ferrari fans and screaming like a mad woman when Alonso zoomed past me for the 61st consecutive time. It was clear that he was leading all the way! GOGOGO Ferrari!
 

On another note, yes ima Ferrari fangirl for obvious reasons. I've loved Ferrari's since I was a kid and well, it's in my favorite color too – RED! The drivers are pretty hot too 😛

So anyway, congrats on making the Top 3 fellas!

Champion!! 😀 Fernando Alonso of Scuderia Ferrari
 

Second place – Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing
 

Third place – Mark Webber of Red Bull Racing
 

Also coming in 4th place was Jensen Button of McLaren and 5th place, Nico Rosberg of Mercedes GP! 😀 Grats on making into Top 5 😀
 

Oh and I recall squeezing through sweaty smelly fellow photographers trying to get perfect angles and perfect shots of the speed demons racing their heads off on the circuits! Was so difficult to capture cars speeding with the speed of light especially when you're being pushed and shoved. But it was all worth it! 😀

IT'S A GOOD CHALLENGE!

All was well and nerve-wrecking throughout the entire 61 laps. But 3 VERY interesting highlights during that fateful final race night were these :
 

When a Kingfisher totally broke down in the first few minutes and had to be towed – coincidentally right in front of where I was standing! Gosh. Sucks to be him =/
 

-sorry no photo was too engrossed in the whole commotion with my jaws hung open LOL-

Lewis Hamilton kicked out of the race when he tried to overtake Mark Webber for 3rd place, crashing his McLaren race car… and his way out of the Singapore F1 Grand Prix finals 🙁 Ohnoes!
 

When a Lotus caught fire and ended up in flames by the last few minutes of the race! Lotsa officials ran there to extinguish the flames. Poor Heikki Kovalainen!
 

Wait for the upcoming posts, of Adam Lambert's GLAMNATION concert tour, Mariah Carey's concert, and me exploring the pit stop paddocks! 😀 Was a super fun learning experience! And *psst* those car engineers and mechanics from UK were smokin' hotttt too 😉

In the meantime, check out my 1st day at the Singapore F1 Grand Prix, okie?

Took lotsa piccies around and even caught Chris Daughtry LIVE in concert too – here!
 

Camwhoring by the Pit Stop Grandstand
 

Again, I'd like to thank my main sponsors Maxis and Lotus Racing for this amazing experience, making this all happen for me 🙂 Gracias

More to come right after this!! 😀
 

So here I am, living outta suitcase yet again for the 4th consecutive week. Have been traveling back and forth from everywhere that I don’t even remember what the color of my condo’s walls are anymore.

Kidding, it’s whitewashed with pale beige.
 

I think.

I was extended the privilege of a fully sponsored trip down to Singapore to watch the F1 Grand Prix courtesy of Maxis, Lotus Racing and of course, Nuffnang. Also very pleased with my passes to the Grandstand worth $1288 SGD! 😀

As I’m typing this with my frozen fingers, I would also like to accredit the place accommodating me for these comfy 3 nights.

Grand Park Cityhall Hotel. 😀

Thanks guys for making my weekend a blast 🙂
 

After dinner, I headed to the circuit tracks to catch some rounds of practice sessions before their big day for tomorrow’s qualifiying race and Sunday’s final night race! I also made my way into the concert of a certain band; an A-Lister of my top 10 favorite bands of the century.

DAUGHTRY!

For those not in the loop of who and what Daughtry is, where have you been!!?? LOL

Daughtry is an American rock band from North Carolina and frontlined by none other than Chris Daughtry himself – finalist of American Idol Season 5. I adored him waaayyy back in 2006 when he was still in the running to become the next American Idol!

Those rock driven tracks  ‘It’s not Over’, ‘Home’, ‘Breakdown’, ‘Over You’, ‘No Surprise’ and all the others got everyone feeding off their infectious energy, singing along at the top of their voices! Yours truly included 😀

Yup. It’s affirmative. Chris Daughtry and his band are love <3

They sounded more fabulous LIVE than they ever did before on telly!

Absolutely love them.

I‘m going hommmeee~

To a place where I belong~

Where your love has always been enough for me~

But I especially adored his acoustic version of ‘Home’. It was so beautifully performed. Sweet!

Chris, the man himself!

Initially wanted to watch Missy Elliot perform as well, but it was waaaayyyy tooo faarr r  at the other end of the circuit. A good 40 minutes walk from Daughtry’s stage.
 

Despite her being my HipHop idol when I was growing up, lazybones got the better of me and I opted to stay longer for Daughtry and explore the nearby grounds instead.

Lay by the grass to relax and take pretty pictures of my surroundings!
 

wheeeee
 

Love the scenic view
 

Dear Singaporeans, what bridge is this? 😀
 

So that was what happened much  earlier. On the later part of the evening, I headed out to Phuture Zouk w a buncha friends to party the skies down.

Is Zouk SG better than its counterpart Zouk KL, in my homeland Malaysia?

Perhaps! Not really but kinda at the same time.

Of Tequila Pops and Dry Whiskies

 Yes, twins. Say hi to Matt & James. If you took a 2nd look at this photo 😀

Yes, my ambiguity isn’t meant to vouch for any club!
 

I still love them both all the same.

Who wouldn’t? 😀

Right, that’s about all for Day #1 in Singapore this weekend!

More deafening (think F1 speed demons) and mind blowing stories next 😀
