Phantom of the Opera

i have been waiting for the day. tickets were booked more than six months ago and the confirmation email has been sitting in my desktop for months. finally, here comes the phantom....

suppose to wake up and leave early from muar but the usual me drag, drag and drag and we left, it's close to noon. sunny day, blue blue sky and nice traffic.

it's sunny, isn't it

we are on the second link loh...

3/4 of the fairy wheel is up.. said to be the largest in the world.. they're singaporean leh... kekeke...

bak chor mee (minced pork noodle) for lunch and head straight to vivocity. it's huge but too crowded. had some nice donuts, starbucks and we left to Parkway Parade. walk a lil' and eat again. ha... non-stop eating..

dinner at geylang for beef kuey teow and nice porridge before we joined Eric for karaoke. Nice to meet up with the guys although the pub is like those in Muar. :p

sunday was assigned specially for the Phantom. the show starts on time at 2pm. seat is a lil' far from the stage but this is what i can afford. show started with the scene in the auction house and chandelier lite up. show was great except the fat lady sitting beside me was humming all the way which frustrated me a bit. sigh... and she was kicked on the neck by the gal behind her.. hehe... accidentally of course.. :p

sunset on the north-south expressway

it's a nice but tiring trip. luckily i wasn't the one who drove.. :p

Singapore hosting F1

there have been talks between Bernie Ecclestone and Singapore tycoon Ong Beng Seng about hosting a F1 race in Singapore. street circuit like Monaco is expected beside it will be held at night.

some interesting facts i found.

1. Mr Ong was borned in Malaysia
2. Mr Ong and his wife owns hotel chains and franchises like haagen dazs, hard rock cafe and fashion brand Armani (club 21 to cover the fashion range)
3. The share price shot up 26% after the talk of holding f1 races in Singapore
4. Brought in Michael Jackson and Three Tenors concert
5. Hanged out with Demi Moore, Robert Deniro and Jackie Chan

it would definitely be interesting to watch a street race at night on the busy Singapore streets. however, it's so near to the Sepang and i wonder it's feasible to have another round of race in Singapore. to pull hundred thousands of crowd paying thousand dollars to a race is not an easy task for sure. the super duper high costs of building a F1 homologated circuit is another challenge. of course they can build only a temporary structure for the pit like Albert Park, which can be converted for other usage during non-F1 season, it is still a costly and challenging project.

it's said that the result will be out in two weeks and let's keep our eye open for the final conclusion of the discussions.
