F1- Totally Cool.

HAHAHA, I dunno where to start!!!
Okay, let's go back from the start!

11th Feb, Monday: It came wrapped, can you imagine the anticipation!


12th Feb, Tuesday: No changes.


13th Feb, Wednesday: Excitement & more excitement as the F1 guys stream in! Even further excitement as the car was unveiled! Even FURTHER excitement since there were news reporters and all. EVEN further excitement since all the staff of our company were down for the buffet and thus, knew about it, and thus, joined in in the photo-taking. Haha!

& of course, you'll need the 10 man team to get it ready.

Then you'll need the tools.
Friggin' many spanners of different sizes and all the i-dunno-what-they-are-called tools! Worst of all, some of them look like they're of the same sizes to me! Lol. Do you understand why they brought in so many many manyyy luggages with them now?! Im not even posting photos of all the other tools, it's crazy.

And of course, you'll need the press to publicise it.
Us with Diana Ser. All thanks to LXY who said, "Eh, everyone taking photo of the car. No one take photo with Diana Ser, she very kelian leh" and approached her. Because of that, everyone started wanting a photo with her as well. Haha!

Eh, I do not normally get star-struck. But the day was too exciting not to.

And yes, she cannot stand me cuz of Im-not-sure-what. At first, I commented on how LXY looked weird in her shot with her. So she gave a "So bad! *laughs* *takes camera from me* I look weird too!"
Then a "*laughs* cannot stand you!" when I found the microphone. Erm, okayyy &

The Formula One Car is Ready!
So friggin' chio handsome can.

We took photo with this guy whom CNA/Diana Ser was interviewing. Everybody wanted a picture with him since we all thought he's the driver. Ahahahaa. Ah well, a photograph with the showcar coordinator is great too. Heh.
Julian Mills


14th Feb, Thursday: The driver of this time's Chingay's F1 demonstration, Robert Wickens, came down.
Robert Wickens. Hehe, young and handsome. He's like only 22!!
Note the slim hip.

During the late afternoon, I ran to the toilet, niao ji. As I passed by them, I made a comment. Who knows, the two of them replied by asking me, "Do you want to go in?" AHAHAHAHA. OH GOSH, what an experience! I ran back to the office to get OYQ's camera. Seriously, who will remember their full bladder at this point in time?!

EXHILARATING! It was exciting just seeing those F1 guys turn on the engine, set it up, push it, etc. But, to sit in it?! As they say, it's a Once In A Lifetime.

I was all "OMG OMG OMG, I AM ACTUALLY SITTING IN IT! OMG!"
Not a very good impression huh. Haha.


They kept lying to me! Yet some of them seems true! I still dont know whether to believe some of the things they said or not. First, they ahem, check out my hip. Or maybe my butt at the same time. Cuz they had to touch it to measure it and all. Apparently, drivers all have small hips. If not, they wont be able to fit into the seat. I thought they were lying cuz they kept laughing.
But yes, it's true.

That explains why they kept emphasizing, "(insert accent.) You're very lucky! You are, the FIRST person in Singapore to sit in a Formula One car." I was all, "Are you sure?!" and received a "This is the first time a F1 car is in Singapore." Apparently, the Indian reporter from Channel 5 was featured sitting in it, right? So, Im supposed to be considered to be the 2nd in Singapore but still the 1st female, right? But, ahahahhaaa, he was too- his hips were too big that they had to take out the seat. So he didnt sit in a complete car. Lol, okay I find the hips big thing very funny. I thought mine were big (butt) already.

Btw, I couldnt reach the pedals no matter how far out I tried to go down. =(. Lol, I thought they were lying to me about the pedals again.

I dunno why I appear so tickled in this photo but anyway, they made me hide in the car whenever a person walked past. They will go, "Boss coming! Boss coming!" Then try to cover me and "casually" greet the "Boss". I believed them and really tried to stay hidden!

I forgot to mention that, the car is SUPER LOW!!! I couldnt really see anything (either from the front or the side mirrors) let alone drive! Lol. Oh I forgot, I cant even touch the pedals, why am I thinking about driving it already. Tsk.

I was all ready to be, the ONLY Singaporean to sit in a F1 car. But too bad Hidah had to go to the toilet (too), saw me in it, and went "I also want!" Lol.

They're really fit! I was squashed between them.

Oh, did I mention they are hugeee flirts? They asked us for our age, and when he learnt they were 24-- 26, he went, "Oh so all of us can marry huh? *Cheeky smile*" Btw, he thinks Im 17. Bah. Oh and they were pestering us to find a 3rd person to get into the car, but with a condition.
Condition: GIRL. PRETTY GIRL. -_-
And the most shuai one asked if Janice (Britney Spears, ahahahaha) was looking for a husband and a English one at that. She just replied "Not Interested in mixed blood." without even looking at him. LOL. But she did admit that he's handsome and wanted a photo with him. Meanwhile Meiyee was also very funny. She was gushing over how cute they were, then after being reminded that she already has a boyfriend, said, "Aiya can change what." HAHAHAHAA/



Btw,
Might I interest you in guessing what's the cost of this steering wheel.



ANS: 30,000 POUNDS! About S$90,000?!
And yes, you can suck Red Bull out if you press the 'Drink' button.
Friggin' lottas other buttons in the car.


Today, 15th Feb, Friday: Photoshoot with the 2 models. I suspect the female model is Claire Jedrek. (Wearing killer heels! But very pretty killer heels!) The male one wasnt attractive at all.
No photos, but I must note this down. It's ridiculous how they do a photoshoot. Do you know the make-up artist put on MORE make-up every few shots?! Might I add that her make-up was already very thick! &&&&&! The make-up artist keeps combing her hair when it's already super-super-super-ultra straight! I dont even see the point! Very straight already you know!

But nah, the model wasnt complaining. All the while, she just look straight ahead, not moving even a twitch.

Diana Ser was present again. For what, I dunno. But the moment I saw her, I blurted out a "What are you still doing here?" Hit me please. I dont think before I speak. She was all, "HA! Why cant I be here!"
Yeah, I deserved that.



Before they left for today's Chingay preview, we requested a group photo with alll of them. Heh! Lucky us! How many people gets to take photo with them uninterrupted by strangers walking past?! Our department office so lucky, there's an advantage in being near the showroom after all! Too bad for the LXY's office and #7 office people! And for me, there's finally an advantage in sitting near the door =). Every little changes of noise, and I'll pop my head up to peep over. Hehe. Helps that I have filings to do too!


Today was our last day looking at the car & the crews, gonna miss them! It made work more enjoyable-- listening to them talk & laugh & machines outside.

Psst, Thank goodness VATK introduced me to Little Britain! They asked me about it, and luckily I was able to reply and discussed the comedy with them. Imagine, if I havent heard of it, I'll probably go "HUH? What? What Little Britain?" and think of British Babies, or that it's their accent that's why I have no idea what they are talking about. Hahaha.

Finally, this is Seng Lien from inside Sembawang Kimtrans/ Toll Logistics reporting. Precisely that microphone that Diana Ser blacklist me with. Hahaha.

Photos from: Hidah, LXY, OYQ, a lil from me (?) lol.
