RE: Flowers and a phone

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.

Sort:  

I had to google what "antitheses" means, sorry for the poor command of my English language 😅

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! 🤣

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.

Haha you do sound like a frequent visitor here in Singapore!
Yeah I actually love our public transport system, its so efficient 😊

Wow $7k Australian dollars is insane for a trip over a weekend to catch the race, you must be really passionate to follow the teams all over the world! Which team are you rooting for? 😁

you do sound like a frequent visitor here in Singapore!

I've been there more than fifteen times...less than twenty.

The MRT is great, I use it all the time. I like that musical voice that says, train is coming. Cracks me up every time.

Which team are you rooting for?

I don't really have t team as such, I like a few of them, a few drivers too. I guess I just love the racing and the complexities of the sport. There's two Australian drivers I follow, one who drives for McLaren and the other for AlphaTauri...but I like others as well, Fernando Alonso, Alexander Albon...I just like the whole ting.

I like that musical voice that says, trin is coming. Cracks me up every time.

Followed by the "Door is closing, tu tu tu tu..." sound 😂

I love the drama shown in the Netflix series and could really feel the intensity and pressure the drivers are going through each season. Afterall there are really just 20 seats available in the whole world! Its crazy 😬

Well, I've been an F1 fan for a long time so I get you completely...It's really quite an interesting sport, and the advancements they make, not just with the vehicles but the telemetry and all...it's all making its way into general population and that's not a bad thing.

Oh one thing that I thought the series could do better is to somehow explain the rules for a little bit more. For someone that is completely new to motorsports, some of the scene just confuses me! 😅

My wife and I were like, what's going on, why, how? 😱 HAHAHA!
