Going back to the starting line again.

Hmmm… wonder which event company did they engage? The sound tech too engross in the race and babes?

Oh no!!! The Porsche 911 overtaking the Boeing 747!!!

Finally the winner is the Porsche

Overall, I think it’s an awesome race event and a first car versus plane race event I have ever attended.

However, it would be better it the emcee of the race event are either Jeremy Clarkson, James May or Richard Hammond cause the local emcees voice just can’t make it, they just sound too boring.

Prehaps the BBC Top Gear team should have a Top Gear Live show here in Singapore to show the local production crews what a race event should be like. Talking about Top Gear, here a clip of Richard Hammond in a Buggati Veyron racing again a Eurofighter.

After the event, Noel and I went over to Marina Square to meet up with Ann and Drayden as Ann needs to get some stuff from there. After we head over Harvey Norman at Millenia Walk as I have wanted to get Ann her birthday present. Hope she is happy with the HP MiniNote as her birthday present … Noel, don’t be jealous, yours is coming soon.

While waiting for the sales person to exchange the HP MiniNote, I took a few shots of Drayden grinning at my camera.

It’s not easy to survive when you are tired from work and have to take a public transport home. For me, my mode of public transportation is taking the bus home. Just imagine, you have to squeeze on crowded bus packed to the brim; foul smelling people in the bus; bus driver from China who can’t converse in English; bus driver from China who drives onto the wrong route; the hard braking and sudden acceleration (esp buses from SBS Transit) and worst of all to have a mentally challenged person in the bus making hell lot of noise!

This evening while I was on bus 197 heading towards Jurong East, a fat, big size, mid-20s mentally challenged dude got on the bus from NUH and sat beside me. I was almost squashed by him due to his weight and his shorted mind can’t tell him that there’s somebody else sitting next to him.

Throughout the journey from NUH to Cycle & Carriage at AYE, I was squeezed in between this mentally challenged dude and the sidewall of the bus while typing out this blogpost. He was also doling out nursery rhymes.

I have ENOUGH OF ALL THESE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SHIT!

When I get my driving license in November, I’m gonna buy a second hand car and forgo public transport.

Well, here are few of the car models that I have shortlisted.

Subaru R2

Honda Airwave

Hyundai Avante

Mitsubishi Colt Plus

Nissan Latio

Toyota Axio

Yesterday Noel has invited me to attend a race event on the 5 September 2009. He got 2 tickets to the event from Nuffnang.

It will be a race between a Porsche GT3 Carrera Cup race car and a Boeing 747-200 from Jett8 Cargo Airline.

I will be bringing my camera there to snap some nice photos of the race and pre-race event. So do watch out this blog for the photos
