PIXUS attends the World's First Formula 1 Night Race

It's super exciting!!!! Finally, after months of waiting, the Formula One Race is here... in Singapore!

It's 26th September 2008 and for the first time in many many years, we can hear deafening roars of the engines in the streets of Singapore!!!!

Yippee!!! I am super excited. What better way to celebrate my 31st birthday???? Wahahahaha......

Alright, I have to admit that some pics that you're gonna see are not taken by PIXUS. Some great shots were taken by Wei Ling's cousin and some by my brother.

This cool shot of the marshals at work was taken by Wei Ling's 12 years old cousin.

It's quite difficult to capture shots of the cars as they travel at high speeds... most shots were like this...

Taking pics of lower speed cars like this is much easier

After the race, it's party time... I went to the Chivas party at the Swimming Pool but it was super crowded so I hopped over to Bellini Grande instead...

Anyway, these are the souvenirs from Chivas Live.
