Formula 1 is in town.......

Yiyi got free tickets to Friday 26th Sep F1 practice race. She initially wanted to go with Uncle Mark but Uncle Mark is not interested, so Yiyi gave the tickets to Daddy & Mummy instead. Free tickets....sure go! Mummy left work early at 5pm, reached Daddy's office on time at 5.30pm and then drive the car to Kovan MRT, park at the carpark, before hopping into MRT to City Hall.

The Formula One practice begins at 7pm. Daddy & Mummy tickets are for the Bay Grandstand. Its a long long walk from the City Hall MRT. Along the way, Daddy & Mummy saw that people are selling the Fri tickets at $125 each. Wow.....their free tickets are worth $250.

There's lotsa of make-shift stalls selling beers, food, souvenirs etc around the circuit. Daddy & Mummy didnt buy anything, they just walked all the way to their seat. At 7pm, the first racing car zoom out and passed the place that Daddy & Mummy were sitting. Mummy says its very very loud and too bad, they forget to get ear plugs. When Mummy is taking pictures, there's no way to close her ears with her hands and the noise is really too loud for her liking. Same for Daddy......after watching for about 20mins, they decided to leave. The noise is too unbearable.

Daddy says its definitely better to watch from home. Luckily, Channel 5 will be showing the live telecast of the final race on Sunday at 8pm. After squeezing through the crowds, Daddy & Mummy made their way back to Raffles City for dinner before heading to Kovan to take the car and go home.

Conclusion....Daddy & Mummy will never buy tickets to watch F1, even if its free, they will either sell or give them away. Definitely better to watch from home.
