F1

It is the F1 weekend in Singapore. All the hype and all the media coverage. How could i resist not commenting on this once in a lifetime "night race" - a world "1st" , so very typical of Singapore.

Actually to be honest, give me a soccer match versus a F1 race anytime and i would choose the latter without even batting a eyelid. The only time i set my eyes on a match was when it was the end of all the soccer leagues and the pubs had to display some pictures on their TVs for all the patrons which included me. F1 to be brutally honest, is just plain boring until today.

F1 Qualifying. Q1/Q2/Q3. After all the 'Q's , i was engaged by the excitement when the racers are trying their best to beat their lap timings to progress further. Poor Alonso got eliminated during Q2 due to fuel problems, sad ending for a former World 1st. Hamilton also nearly got eliminated as he spent too much time in the pits, which left him 14th place with two laps to go. Luckily for him, he calmly finished Q2 10th place. The finale Q3 ended with a final fight between Hamilton and Massa with Massa ending the night with pole position.

I am going to google more about the F1. Too bad i can't watch tomorrow's Grand Prix Finals at 8pm, got to work. Boring!!!

So interesting!!!

Bintan/Hanoi/Star Virgo

Basically Bintan is by far the cheapest. If three persons sharing a room, for a 3D2N trip "smelly smelly" $200-300 SGD. Btw the prices are valid til 19th December only except for the 'Bintan Lagoon Resort'.

For the Vietnam trip, the cheapest for a 3D2N stay plus air tickets at a 3*hotel is about $800 plus airport taxes.

We can also consider Star Cruise for the Xmas/NY week. However be prepared to have a burnt pocket as it will easily cost over $900 SGD for a decent cabin room and at least $600 for the bare minimum.

A few more days the travel agent will call me and update me on the latest travel prices and stuff. Will update then..
