Swinging on A Hammock, Sipping a Cold Red Bull, Watching the Cars Go By

With a slight tinge of regret, I had to pass on free F1 Grandstand tickets to watch Defending the Cavemen on Friday. A production which I could not even defend. It was mediocre, and tapped upon stereotypical behaviors which honestly failed in translation, be it the cultural context or simply that time has gone by too fast for this outdated script.

Thankfully, my friends with connections pulled through again and I scored some F1 tickets for Saturday. This time, I could not let the opportunity go by.


On a ferry ride from Clarke Quay, I found myself at the Singapore Flyer with a goodie bag. Swinging on a hammock, sipping the cold Red Bull that came with the goodie bag, watching the race cars go by. Life ... here's still loving new experiences ~




Spotted, the lonely weirdo Toyota fan. Check out his bermudas, it looks like he just got out of bed. Majorly eager for people to take snapshots of him like a cos-play event. - l -

The evening light was beautiful...

And our ticket came free with a ride on the Singapore Flyer, so we watched the entire circuit from above while the cars were doing their trial run


My first F1 experience... :)

Laksa Steamboat

Ever heard of a Laksa Steamboat? The first reaction among my friends was, "Thank god you're going on a Friday night, at least you can camp out in your house loo on Sat". The first impression among everyone was this hot, spicy, rich broth that would simply be lethal after the first few mouthfuls.

The laksa steamboat was definitely not as rich a broth as you expect, nor as spicy. Instead, it was just mellow and rich with coconut milk, yet not overwhelming. The cockles provided were big, plump, juicy and extremely satisfying.

A bowl of laksa leaves and chilli was provided for each customer to customize the level of spiciness that they desired. Food items were ala-carte and pretty expensive. (S$3 for a plate of 8 meatballs? ..Where did they fly the meatballs from? Taiwan?)


Worth a try at least. Headed for drinks at Prive afterwards, lovely night catching up with my old team. Now making plans to head to JB for seafood.
