time to update this cobwebbed blog! finished my job in F1! IT WAS HELLA OF FUN! contradicting isnt it. the previous post i was complaining how bored the training was. okay okay. the training day was dead bored. but afterwhich, as we started to do some work. it turned out to be fun-ness!

DAY 4 - the last day of sgp (singapore grand prix)

we were as busy as always and the weather was as warm and humid as always. we took lotsa pics that day.

wanting and i, near our store.

peishan, barnet and wanting
peishan, tavis and wanting, the aunties!

some angmoh approached us for pics

enqi, peishan, wanting in the store

morning and night shift, not all of us.
back row (left to right): peishan, mark, wanting, emokid (i dunno his name!)
front row: linmin, asmida, meiyu


as we were having our last meal in the store.


bad food makes peishan sad. cold rice which was like kuehs and 2 miserable shrimps, and 2 pieces of plain white tofu ):

sgp merchandise (padang) store, morning shift!
back row (left to right): zul (supervisor), enqi, tavis (self proclaimed supervisor)
front row: peishan, lina, wanting

some hardcore ferrari fan. click to enlarge. red bombarded hair, red ferrari shirt, red ferrari flag. yes he was all alone, walking like this.

DAY 3 - the second day of sgp

after a long day's work, we spent some time watching the support races. and took some pics.

enqi, peishan, wanting and the race track

enqi, peishan, wanting, lina and the uniquely singapore fan

it was miserable when we were having lunch everyday. some of us would have to collect food from esplanade and bring back to the store, where we spent our time eating in a row, looking at the shelves and eat disgusting food.


DAY 2 - the first day of sgp

was fun and was darn busy. people actually dun mind buying overcharged stuff. anw this ferrari crew bought some stuff some us and he asked if we could take a photo with him. HE'S NOT A BANGALA!! if he is, i would not take a pic with him! tavis, a guy colleague, actually offered himself to take a pic with him. cmon man. we didnt have to! hahaha!

enqi, ferrari guy and me.

DAY 1 - set up the store for the actual next day

i reluctantly dragged my feet to marina square, gate 7. and we were then split into groups. i was being posted to padang. which we couldnt see the track as the track was actually surrounding us. the antisocial peishan made some new frens there. and the whole of padang sgp merchandise store, there were only 2 non sp-ians. so the guy actually got it all from us.

i was darn hungry and ta dah. our supervisor's supervisor actually treated us macdonald's! so the whole of marina sq's mac was filled with half of the whole sgp merchandise staff. we were lucky as we were the only group who was being treated.

6pm. knocked off. and we had the chance of going up the grandstand. when the police hadnt appeared.

wanting (tp) and i

this was the grandstand





back row (left to right): wanting, peishan, linmin, enqi, lina
front row: mark, azmida (if i rmb her name), tavis


as we tot that we could go back home, we were to go to city hall, another merchandise store to help them out. all i can say was padang people was really efficient, within awhile later, everything was settled and we were slacking already. as we were slacking, we did some stupid stuff.

mark says 'please buy me! pleassssssssssssse!'
it's a 39 dollar bear mind you.

the daddy with two legs inside can holders and son pleading for mercy -.-
it was a whole new experience working with people i totally dint know in the first place. they were very fun loving, funny, gossipy, efficient, slack, everything. it was real fun working in F1 as well, knowing new people, gaining new experiences, and lastly, the race really hyped me up. even though im working in the morning shift and wasnt supposed to see the race, during the three days, i managed to watch the race and listen to the deafening engine sounds of F1 racing cars! hope to work again next year with the same people. this time round, we dun wanna be merchandisers. we wanna be someone else. hehehehe (:
p/s: actually i wasnt suppose to post up pics or even talk about F1. please dont report me ):



after F1, i practically replanished my sleep and my whole life is all about, what else, TUITION! GRRRR.
