Oh guys i'm feeling hyper elated right now i have to blog about it!
This is gonna be lengthy so get ready to yawnnnnn ~
My day started of perfectly cause i get to have breakfast with a special someone at McDonalds. Although i didnt eat cause i have got no appetite and i'm sick, i enjoyed my time just watching her eat. I first time see people use wet tissue to wipe their hands before they touch the burger. I mean, do we really have to be so clean? Unless you just digged your ass den i have nth to say la. HAHA =/ And she put on the perfume already! Smells even nicer (lol i sound like some pervert)
After we parted, i felt that my fever and flu has subsided. Can you believe it? Meet already can get well, i believe! But my sore throat and bad cough is still here la and i'm very irritated by it cos i kept coughing wherever i go and people will just like "eeew he spreads germs" and i'm like "oh i'm sry, didnt mean it, i covered my mouth already" -.-!
In the evening i went to meet ZhiLei at City Hall to watch the F1 preview and River Hong Bao. We headed to Shokudo for dinner first. It's a Japanese Pasta & Pizza restaurant in City Link Mall. At first when i saw the menu i felt that the pictures weren't very appetizing. Only the desserts and drinks look nice lor. But it turned out everything we ordered tasted heavenly! ZL had a cod fish pasta called Gindara Saikyo Carbonara and i had a H.Style Potato Cheese Pizza, uber thin crust one okay! We also had a side dish of Cheese Wanton and Ice Apple Vinegar, ZL didnt really like that drink though, but i loved it. So my happy day continues as dinner was filling and fantastic.
After that, my luck started to come in at a even faster pace. We didnt know what time the F1 will actually start, or whether it'll be before the Chingay or after that, so we just tried our luck by taking one of the exits at Esplanade Underground Passageway. The minute we got out, we found ourselves a place where it wasn't very squeezy, free flow of fresh air, and we were directly facing the spot where the F1 is gonna do its drift, burn-out, and dragging. We didnt have to wait long too! After about 15mins or so, the F1 car came. I swear to god that the sound of the engine revving is TOTALLY FUCKING ORGASMIC can! I went totally high lor! When the F1 first came, it just sped through like nobody's business. I couldn't even catch a glimpse of the driver and wads printed on the car. I just saw something went by me. And the engine sound is so loud and high pitched we had to cover our ears. Back and forth twice, it sped, drifted, smoked the air, instilled fear in the audience, and created a sense of satisfaction in me. I am really very happy that i caught the preview of a real F1 in Singapore.
The F1 couldnt last long because the engines were too hot and they need to cool down. For this preview, the mechanics actually installed extra fans to better ventilate the hot air from the engines, but they weren't enough. In an actual race, the engine is actually cooled by the fast moving air it sucks in when travelling at high speeds of 250kmh and abv. As it ended, we made our way to the other side of the road to watch the Chingay Parade of Dreams. Same thing, we didnt know where the flow of traffic is coming from, nor do we know where the DJ will be and where the announcements will be made. But we were so lucky we found a spot, no crowd, fresh air, nice view, and most importantly, the speaker is facing us! So the DJ introduced performances after performances and we caught every word of it. I have to agree with wj that this year the flower cars werent that fantastic, but still, i enjoyed the festive mood.
At about 10pm, we went to walk round River Hong Pao, reading our Zodiacs, watching puppet shows and then spent about $10 at the wishing well. This wishing well is rather special because it has 8 bells instead of just 1, and every bell has a different meaning attached to it. So its like, if you wanna get good grades for your studies, you aim at xue2 ye4 you3 cheng2, and if you wanna have a great love life then you aim at bai3 nian2 hao3 he2. Haha. I was so eager to hit those bells that i went to exchanged extra coins on top of the ones i had. In the end ZL and i both managed to hit 3 bells that we wanted. Then we went to get some drinks and food, walked around the rest of the attractions, then headed to Raffles Shopping Centre for toilet break and to finish our food. We also slacked some time cause we dont want to be caught in the crowd =/
During the train ride, it wasnt very packed, but it wasnt very empty either. But we managed to find seats! Can you see how lucky i am today?!?!?! So sent ZL home, then took the train back home. The min i enter my room, my dad told me i striked 4D! The other day i was at my granny's place helping her out with the Tian Gong Birthday thingy, then we got 3 sets of numbers. So i just bought those numbers and one of them actually striked! I dont buy 4D often as you all know, but i still got so lucky lor! Can you believe it. OMGzzzsssxxx haha
Later or tmr i'll upload the photos cause there're like 25 photos in totaly and i'm too excited right now to want to sit on the chair and wait. =x Hope my luck and bring me through my exams once again yeah! And ChinYi my dear, bu yao qi nei! Jia yous! hehe
