Singapore Grand Prix 2009 (25/Sep ~ 27/Sep)

Somehow, I was not as excited as last year. And I didn't really take alot of photos like last year.
But this year, my sis brought her new cannon DSLR EOS 500D and the photos turned out great.
Imagine those cars were going at super high speed and my normal digital camera can only take very blurred pictures.
Below collage is from my sis:
Kimi, my favourite driver



the 3 day pass


the program guide


program for Saturday, can't imagine there is backstreet boys


on our way to turn 13 which we went last yr
great place to see all the actions


infront of turn 13 is Fullerton Hotel


this nasi lemak from Old Chang Kee cost us a whopping $6


the great view of sunset



Sunday's program highlights


this time we went to a different place which is outside esplanade.


reason why we changed place?
Cos After Sat's qualifying, we were "sian" of the results (Hamilton in pole position),
so we were thinking there is nothing much to see, so no need to go turn 13.
We just wanted to wait for the driver's parade at 6.30pm, take Kimi's photo and
walk around the area.

After the drivers' parade, we decided to go Marina Square for dinner.
Cafe Cartel was so empty!


Hawaiian pork chop


St Louis pork ribs

After dinner, we went back to Padang, the drivers were already halfway through their 61 laps.

Tawandang Microbrewery @ Dempsey Hill (22/Sep/09)

Dinner with customers from Japan at this Thai-German Bar and Restaurant at Dempsey.

Couldn't take photos of the food cos paisey lah.

It's supposed to be quite popular in Thailand.

Food wise, it's above average and the price is not too expensive.

We ordered 5 dishes to share and total, it's about $120net.

There is even live band after 8pm.

After dinner, it's off to Ben & Jerry's nearby for ice-cream.

Had a hard time not to whip out my camera for photos.

But no choice, still have to control.

So no photos this time....

The Propsal

Typical Romance plus comedy.
Superb chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reyolds.

Synopsis taken from Golden Village website:
When high-powered book editor Margaret (SANDRA BULLOCK) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that shes actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (RYAN REYNOLDS), who shes tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family (MARY STEENBURGEN, CRAIG T. NELSON, BETTY WHITE) and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.
