F1 >>>>> Biennale
(For the non-science students, > means more than.)
Whooo...
S'pore's got rave reviews from Formula1.com.
Lol. Like this one below...
"As well as its world-famous highrise skyline, the Asian city also boasts the beautiful Sentosa Island for visitors in search of something more relaxed. The former British naval base is currently in the middle of a $10 million refurbishment, but the tropical paradise, complete with gorgeous beaches, is already considered one of the world’s most glamorous resorts."

Like hello??? You sure that's Singapore we're talking about? Sentosa??? Gorgeous? GLAMOROUS??????
Excuse me.
Rolls on the floor laughing uncontrollably.
Breathe, breathe.
Our FAKE beach is GORGEOUS? Boring little Sentosa is GLAMOROUS?
Totally unbelievable. Spotless white sand. Yea. Well, if even sea turtles can mistake our imported Indonesian sand for the real thing, I guess it's only natural reporters would too. LOL!
But we got some nice publicity too. Like, we have 63 islands. Wait, we do? That's something I never knew >.> Do they still count the islands that have been linked up to the mainland?
Hmm. Seems like a rather worrying concern is whether a blackout would occur in the middle of the race. I don't think anything will happen, really. This is Singapore after all. If anything did happen, heads will roll. Not to mention big hefty fines and punishments. In all my life living here it's only happened twice, and it wasn't in the city area. So yes, Kovalainen, I'm pretty sure it has been taken care of.
Haa ^^
Anyway. I saw a bit of the track and grandstand yesterday when I went with Shooee to the Biennale (more on that later). And actually, I think watching the race on TV would be better. I mean, in the seats you're just stuck at one position, you might miss some significant action taking place somewhere else. Watching TV, on the other hand, it's almost as if you're everywhere, well at least everywhere the TV cameras are, which is definitely more places than one.
But as I'll be watching with Yokie, I expect some friction will exist. After all, she thinks Raikkonen should give way to Massa in Sunday's race while I think Raikkonen shouldn't. Not unless he loses this race. Which will most likely NOT occur. Yes. NOT. >.<
Well, on to the Biennale. It was quite cool really. I liked the book floating in the tank of water. And the fluorescent swing. And and. The barber's saloon! And. The paper garden growing out of the floor. And! The Google Earth image of Singapore. I <3 AC yea? ^^ And and and. The wood chip animation. AND. The huge painting of tubes of paint. And the sugar pagoda, the helicopter, the fei zhao ;), the black cards stuck to the floor, the propaganda videos...
^^ I recommend it to any stressed out student. Especially the City Hall exhibition. Because it's air-coned. Hahaha. No, really, I thought the exhibits there were more interesting. Only thing is, the signage sucked big time. Everywhere was F1, F1, F1, MRT, oh look a Biennale sign! F1, F1, F1....
Shooee and I wasted a LOT of time walking around in the hot sun. Lost. Because both of us don't have a sense of direction. :P The only reason why we finally got where we wanted to go is because Shooee used to be a Guide, so she could at least read maps.
Ah well. If anyone wants to see pics, go to Shooee's blog over there => in my links section to see.
I'm going over to view now ^^
Oh, and Mika Hakkinen thinks nasi lemak is nice.... Think heart-attack inducing. Thankfully he doesn't live here ;)
