Singapore Formula One

Dear all

Finally it's over, phew. Gonna go crazy soon if its gonna last a few more days. I however knew of someone (or 2 of them for that matter) who's gone crazy at work. Wanna share some thoughts of this event. People would pay hundreds or thousands for a chance to watch the F1 live, buying tickets for grandstand views or booking hotel rooms with trackside views. Hehe, I watched the race from a comfort of a 5-star hotel with track-side views, at no charge. Let's just say me and a few others are the lucky ones.

The past 5 nights, my duty at work was to ensure that nobody disturbs the 2 drivers currently staying in. I would be in close contact with them, communicating with them daily. I had to fend off fans internally and externally. Let's just say that since they'll be checking out today, I would miss my babysitting job, hehe. Before one of the drivers (the top driver actually) left for his room earlier, I shook his hand congratulating on his success and wishing him well for the future, hoping also to see him again next year. He in turn, thanked me for all the assistance rendered, saying that he's happy with staying here and will definitely be back. That's all, just a handshake. No signatures or photo requests from me.

Anyway, sharing some photos of the event.

Take care all,
