Yippy Yippy Yah Yah Yay! We did it again today! Photos with a few more drivers!! Though this time we didnt get to walk into the pit garage. The dumb thing is we could have, but we kept taking those photos and chatting with other fans that by the time we ought to have gotten onto the the circuit, we were already way too far off and tired. Oh well, still it was so fun! But then again, there's

I received an e-mail a few days back, similar to the one I got last year from the Singapore F1 team. Basically it allows me to get the early bird tickets before they go on sale to the public on the 1st of March. This allows me to get the better seats before the general public grabs them.  Quite frankly, I haven't yet made my mind up about which tickets I should get. Honestly I don't even know if

Well I had to write about it eventually. I've been keeping my experience of the Singapore F1 locked up for a while now and I've had numerous friends calling me and writing me for my thoughts. The truth is, I don't quite know how I feel about the race weekend. Did I enjoy it or not? I can't quite say. It's weird, I know, but that's exactly how I feel. I can't put my finger on it.

She mentioned how differently Lewis behaved compared to last year when , she wrote, "his stop at Ngee Ann City boutique for some clothing line had all the trappings of a little emperor's arrival."

I thought I'd write a little more about my experience of last year's F1 race in Singapore.   As it was very late by the time I'd realize that I'd be able to make it to the race, I only ended up with the Friday's Walkabout tickets. For myself and Ling. But that was where the fun began. I did feel a little disappointed for not getting tickets to the race proper but I still felt that at least

  Here's a thought I had. I may be wrong but I don't recall any much fanfare or celebrations during the trophy presentations in Singapore F1 last year. If I am wrong, I apologise.  I thought, knowing Singapore's enthusiasm for fireworks, that it would be a given. We have fireworks for just about every celebration there is throughout the year. The National Day is a big draw for fireworks fans

See, I told you so. Nelson Piquet jr. got dismissed. Just as I had expected (and I think everyone else in the world too). Yet in his website here, he blamed everyone and everything under the sun but himself. His ex-boss, Flavio Briatore, got most of the flak. And he also claimed that he had always had to play second fiddle to Fernando Alonso. That he always got the weaker car. That's bullshit!

Wow what a qualifier! Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I was watching it live on TV yesterday and it all started very promising. We even have a new driver for Toro Rosso, Jaime Alguersuari. He is now the youngest F1 racer in history. We'll talk more about him another time. Now back to the yesterday's events. First of all, I know I say this on behalf of all F1 fans around the

July has always been a very special month for me. I look forward to it every year but at the same time I wish it wouldn't come around too fast. You see, July is my mum's birth month - the 23rd to be exact - and we always make it a point to celebrate it. Though usually it's always only specifically a family affair. But this month however, it's going to be a little extra exciting. We are in for a

'The Webbed one' has done it! No I don't mean Spiderman. After 130 races, Mark Webber has finally got his first victory. None too soon either. This was long overdue. Oh, and did I mention that he did it in style? This is a man whom everyone wanted to see win. He is as humble as they come. I remember walking past him in Singapore last year and I almost didn't notice him. By the time I did, he

Wow! What can I say? This has got to be one of the best F1 seasons that I can remember. The second stage of this years F1 season started almost exactly as the the first stage ended 3 weeks ago; Red Bull 1 and 2! Just when we thought that Brawns F1 was going to run away with the 2009 championship, someone threw the spanner into the works. And remember you me, I predicted some time back that it

So, F1 is save. For now at least. The meeting in Paris of the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) has been fruitful. The teams and the association have come to an agreement to avoid any alternative series or championships. They will stick to the rules, as agreed upon, for the 2009 season. And some added regulations which were agreed before the 29 th of April this year. Part of those rules require

Moonlight Sonata. Photo, aegils.deviantart.com Some of the best music most people can relate to is during the Elvis and Beatles era. Most people will say that that was when modern music was invented.

I cannot remember the last time I tuned in to the radio. There are so many things not right with the stations that I don't even know where to start. OK there was actually one station I did occasionally tuned into but it wasn't local, it was the BBC. The local, all crap.

Like any hot blooded man, I love my football. The only thing is I don't particularly support any one club. No Manchester United, no Liverpool, no Real Madrid, non of that for me thanks. I find it ridiculous to support such teams when one day a player is playing for you and the very next season he is signed by one of your bitter rivals and playing against you. Even the money that's exchanged

Twenty years ago. That was the first time I heard of NIN. That was when they released their first album, Pretty Hate Machine. I was an avid local musician at that time and this band was one of my influences. Frankly it's not much of a band as more of a soloist who brings in a bunch of other musicians to play in his band. His name is Trent Reznor. You can simply say he is the godfather of

Jenson Button giving his 2 wheeler a check at last year's Singapore Race. Quite a few naysayers have started to say that this years F1 is getting boring. Because it's always Jenson Button and Brawns in the front. To a certain extend, they are quite right. I, for one, believe that this years championship is all wrapped up. Unless any of the other teams begin to improve themselves, it's over.

I was rather disappointed to read that Ferrari has lost its appeal against the FIA budget. The future of F1 is on the line now and things are not looking good. But what was somewhat of a surprise to me were the views given by Ferrari and Fernando Alonso. If you had read my earlier post dated the 17th of May, you'd know my sentiments of the whole saga. I wrote then that F1 will no longer be F1

F1 drivers are indeed a colourful lot. They come in all shades, don't they? I only started taking F1 seriously in around 1996. Before then, there was no way to watch it 'live' on TV. Or if there was, I didn't know of it. Sure there were small articles of it in the local papers but I think that was about it. Through the years I learned a lot about F1. The technicalities, the ever changing rules

Now I come to the one man whom I think should get his butt kicked out of F1 for good. Kimi Raikonnen. First of all, when Kimi joined McLaren from Team Sauber in 2002 to replace Mika, I thought very highly of him. I saw the hunger in his eyes just like his fellow countryman. He didn't seem too interested about anything else except racing his car. Just the way a driver should be. Even his post

This is Gizmo. We've had Gizmo and Chuee since they were about 5 months old. This was somewhere around 1998. My brother was in the Police Force at that time and he had a colleague whose female cat, or correctly referred to as queen, gave birth to a litter. His colleague had a bit of trouble finding proper homes for them, so my brother agreed to adopt one. He had seen the kittens in her home and

Formula 1 as we know it is in serious trouble. The FIA's decision to alter the rules for next year has not been taken too kindly by most of the current constructors. Some of the changes set by Max Mosley, the president of FIA, include a budget cap for each team to £40 million per year. Teams that agree to it will receive greater technical freedom. This budget cap does not include the

Here are 2 model Titanics I made. The smaller one is a 1:600 model (44cm). I built that in 2002. The larger one is a 1:400 (69cm) scale and it was a gift from Ling. She got me that in 2008. Model Kit building is just another one of my many ridiculous hobbies. It took me a fair bit of time to complete, espescially the bigger one, as the painting required more work.

The recent start to the European leg of the F1 season has somewhat proved what I expected of the teams. Clearly all the teams are beginning to improve on their cars. But more then anything, it also proved that Team Brawn is also improving on their own cars as well. Button and Barrichello made sure of that. But what in the world is happening to Team Ferrari? 5 races and only 6 points? First

Clearly all the new rules and the controversial manner some cars were designed have actually tightened the race. Gone are the days where everything was Ferrari or McLaren (at least for the time being).
