dad made a decision to drive mom and i through Nicoll Highway after dinner, just to listen to the F1 cars speeding past below. you know, for a live feel of it. anyone who knew my brother, of course, would know that he was ALREADY at the race itself.
the engine sounds grew louder and louder. yes, we were almost there. it felt like a game show, where we were playing to guess where the sounds were coming from. and then we got onto Nicoll Highway, where the view of the tracks from the top was perfectly clear.
just when mom and i looked down from our side of the car, one of the cars ZOOMED past.
immediately, mom shouted, "ALONSO's car!"
and apparently, she was right(yes my mom watches soccer and F1), because the other car that looked like the renault had crashed earlier in the race.
wait, in other words... mom and i had actually both seen the winning car zoom past?
wow. talk about LUCK.
look, i'm not going to pretend that i know anything about F1 because i usually dont watch it(my brother's quite the opposite). but when i got the chance to listen to it live, and even saw one of the cars -and it was the eventual winning car, at that- drove past, boy, it felt GOOD.
there is no denying to that.
and so, lies the short phase i had with F1. it was fun while it lasted.
p.s.: congratulations to Fernando Alonso!

okay, just trying to incorporate Coldplay's song into this.
but the first night race was held here! holla.
I read the news of the first ever nocturnal Grand Prix on Channelnews Asia (on TV after mid-night when they run powerpoint-like-slides of the news?).
and it was exciting :)
