RE: Flowers and a phone

Such a beautiful garden, it's a pity that it will not be available anymore ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Do you like drives in the countryside, picnics and spending time with nature?

I love doing all these things but just not so much in Singapore due to the weather! ๐Ÿ˜–
However, I do enjoy a late night drive, taking the car out for a spin when the city goes to sleep.
No particular destination in mind, a mindless drive that allows me to unwind for the day! ๐Ÿ˜Š

It's sad yes, the lady just doesn't have anyone to help her and being so far away from anywhere it's not an attractive prospect to people for them to travel out so far.

I love Singapore, my father was born not too far away, and I've been there a lot, every year for the F1 GP and as I've transited through to Europe and other places. I love the Gardens at the Bay and if I lived there would spend a lot of time there I think, it's a very enjoyable environment. It's a busy city though and I guess, like you say, drives at night with less traffic are the way to go.

I'm not coming up for the race this year but should be there next year for it and am really looking forward to it.

Sure, I love Singapore as well, but I must admit that the consistently hot and humid weather we experience all year round can be a bit of a turn off for us locals!

Traveling around the world to attend Formula 1 races must have been quite an exciting journey in its own right! I never really followed Formula 1 until I watched the Netflix series "Drive To Survive" recently. Have you seen it too? ๐Ÿ˜

Your humidity and heat is not pleasant at all, I don't get that sort of weather in the part of Australia I reside in, (the humidity I mean, it gets very hot though), the humidity is more of a tropical north thing. It's confronting but fortunately the race is at night so it's a little cooler. Getting to the track at 4pm can be a problem though. It's all good though I guess, I'd rather put up with some heat and humidity and be there rather than not be there at all.

I've seen all seasons of Drive to Survive, it starts the Formula One season off, wrapping up a lot of the behind the scenes stuff from the previous year and it's quite entertaining. It's brought a lot of new people to the sport. I started watching back in 1979 (I was nine) and have watched every season since. I'm old huh? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Not that old, or at least a hippy old? The things that you're doing or is involved in are pretty cool, so I won't classify that as old ๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah the show definitely brought me into Formula One and is pretty excited to catch it in Singapore this time round, especially when I can identify some of those racers now ๐Ÿคฃ

or at least a hippy old?

I'm the antitheses of a hippy.

I won't classify that as old

I'm not old, I just say it for fun I guess...it amuses me somewhat for some reason.

pretty excited to catch it in Singapore this time round

I'm jealous...Usually I flow out from Australia on the Thursday prior to the race weekend (so next Thursday) and stay for a week...I love it man...but this year I'll have to watch on TV, also good, but not as good.

ย last yearย ย 

I had to google what "antitheses" means, sorry for the poor command of my English language ๐Ÿ˜…

The prices for hotels near the racetrack are incredibly high. I initially wanted to book a night to celebrate my wife and my anniversary while attending the race, but it looks like a smarter choice to purchase Formula 1 race tickets and sleep back at home instead! ๐Ÿคฃ

Ok, sorry...it means the opposite.

It's super costly or sure. I usually stay at the Sofitel City Centre next to the track or the Riverside Hotel Robertson Quay, the former is more costly though. Add in the flights, tickets and spending money and there's no change from $7,000 Australian dollars. If you live close you're really better off staying at home and going to the track each day, I know how good your MRT is so I'm sure it would be an easy trip.
