Formula One 2009 (27th Sept) and Backstreet Boys

"This is the perfect end to a fantastic weekend." - Lewis Hamilton

I went to the Marina Bay Circuit with my sister this year. We really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was great despite the humid weather. The human traffic has improved a lot as compared to 2008. Last year, while i was still "human sandwich-ing" in the middle of the Suntec overhead bridge, at the same time this last Saturday, I've already alighted the bus and was walking home after the Qualifying session.

During any events, there will be people trying to capture photos when the cars drove past with their camera phones or normal Digital cameras. My sis commented, "these are the people who did not participate last year." Then I'm like "hahaha... True." Cos these are "fruitless attempts." In the end, I couldn't resist it and i held up my phone camera to try a few shots. However expected, there's no way you can capture anything. Only tails of shadows if you are lucky! I did capture a photo with shadows. lol

Sunday - Race Day. The grandstands was totally filled up as compared to Friday and Saturday. I can see many fans holding their huge Ferrari, Mclaren, Mercedes Benz, Red Bull Flags etc. and i can already feel the excitement in the air.

6.30pm - Driver's Parade. All drivers were on board a classic antique car individually with a driver besides them and they drive around the track for a lap. Like a "meet & greet" session for the fans. NOT slow enough for me to see all drivers clearly but i still managed to have a glimpse of every of them. When Hamilton's car drove past, i swear he got the loudest cheer!

8pm - Race starts.

Romain Grosjean from Renault was really unlucky. I can feel for him... First he crashed into the same spot where Nelson Piquet did last year during the Qualifying. Then he retired the race on 3rd lap due to a gearbox problem.

Massa's "fuel-pipe-jammed" incident happened again but to Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari.

Mark Webber suffered from his right front disc break explosion and that's game over for him.

Adrian Sutil spun on the track while trying to overtake Jaime Alguersuari, didn't check before trying to get back on track and smashed right into Nick Heidfield (the Poor victim), both car brought to retire. I saw Nick's interview, he said "Adrian Sutil was stupid and completely "brainless" to do that." When asked what does he think the team would do about this incident, he replied "maybe we will find a brain for him (Adrian)." LOL, humourous.

Sebastian Vettel the "Rain Master" could have a podium finish but he failed to. At one point he lost his right wing mirror during the race. I think he got hit or something and the whole mirror flew off from the car. Then someone sitting in front of me commented "It's okay, from now on he don't have to look back." I'm like "okay, LOL."

Nico Rosberg the "Leonardo DiCaprio look alike" was also most likely able to secure a podium finish but he committed some mistakes in the pit lane and he lost everything. Awwww!!!!

In the end Lewis Hamilton got 1st that's so steadily. I'm estastic and clapped like mad. wooo hooo!!! Wanted to cheer but the crowd surrounding me doesn't seem too enthusiatic in cheering. Maybe Singaporeans are shy and more reserved, and are really famous for being "Kiasu". Even before the race end, there are already so much people trying to get off the grandstand to avoid the human jamming.

And I see I can be a F1 trainee reporter... LOOOLLLL........

Anyway, after the race ended, we rushed to Padang thinking we might catch a glimpse of BACKSTREET BOYS before we leave the circuit. When we reached Padang Concert Stage, i got so excited i started walking faster and faster, almost leaving my sister behind. Then we re-united and i continued trying to squeeze my way through the crowd. Initially i only wanted to get a closer to look at them from the mega screens. But before we knew it, we were already less than 100 meters away from the stage! Soooo HAPPY!!

We can see Nick, Brian, AJ and Howie so clearly on their face! They are dorks, doing funny moves and dancing all the way. Atmosphere so HIGH we were singing together as a crowd when they sang those Hit songs that i knew when i was younger. Everybody was like anticipating for the boys to sing "Everybody" and they did it for their last song. Everybody was then chanting "Encore... encore... encore..." and "We want more... we want more.. we want more..." and the boys came back on stage with "Shape of My Heart."

I felt really wear out and almost dying for singing and shouting for about 1 and a half hour. I wonder how singers can hold a concert for 3 hours without singing off pitch?

AJ then splashed a bottle of water to the crowd. Nick took off his shirt and threw it to the crowd. But shit, I was so near i could have almost gotten it. LOL

Now i'm like a crazy fan girl. But that's concerts~ And it's BACKSTREET BOYS!!!!!

Wow best of my life experience so far. The money i spent was so worth it i wouldn't wanna complain anything. I am so wanna go again next year. 26th September 2010!!!!!!!
