No prizes on who managed to get us tics this time ;)
My sis was real excited about watching Daughtry and Adam Lambert, however, I was way more excited about seeing AND hearing the F1 cars! I wanted to be there as soon as the gates open to fully take in the F1 atmosphere.
We made a pit stop at Mustafa as I was hoping to get a tripod. We met Ben there who joined us for a late lunch. Unfortunately we were not able to find a tripod that we liked so we gave it a pass. When we headed over to City Square Mall for lunch, it was raining. I was hoping that it would stop as the race wouldn't be as fun with wet roads!
We got there at about 4+pm. Thank god it had stopped raining.
Ooh.. the Ferrari souvenir tent!
Must find our way to the concert stage ....
Found it! And not too far away from it was the Harry's and Hard Rock Cafe tents :)
Musical guests .... Daughtry and Adam Lambert were the ones performing on Sat.
It was still early so we went to watch the BMW pre races.
They even had a classic car collection on display. No Ferrari though :P
Had to get my beer b4 Daughtry's performance.
They started performing right after the end of a race so that there will be no noise interrupting the concert.
No Surprise
Home - This is my fave song of theirs.
The concert was really awesome, my only complain was that it was way too short :( Unfortunately there was no chance of an encore as they had planned it such that the moment the concert ended, the F1 cars came out .... it was deafening!
My sis and I put on our earplugs and made our way to the side of the tracks.
As the cars were zipping by, I asked my sis if she had actually heard how loud the cars were. She then took out her earplugs and got the full impact of their gazillion horsepower engines.
"Wow! I thought my earplugs were spoilt as even with them on it was loud!" Haha .... its really hard to explain what it is like to hear and feel the sound waves. You just HAVE to experience it once in yr life.
Turn yr volume to the max and it still isn't the same!
Adam Lambert was performing @ 11.30pm so we decided to grab something to eat b4 joining the queue.
There were quite alot of food stores, including Tung Lok who, as my sis found out, sold the cheapest bottled drinks! Good eye! My sis and I shared a burger and fries AND the $2 Coke Zero :D
We were sitting at a corner resting our feet when we hear music from afar .... we walked towards it and was then immersed in a unbelievable theatrical performance.
The company is from Italy and their stage were high up in the sky as well as on the ground. The aerial artists were moved from one end of the Padang to the other with the help of men on the ground pulling the ropes that were attached to them.
Can anyone name the tune that is playing? The song almost made me cry ...
Adam finally came out and all his fans went nuts!
We were stuck amidst some drunk kids that were screaming and making a fool out of themselves. The only line they knew were "Whataya want from me"
If I Had You - Alot of jumping during the chorus >.<
Whataya Want From Me
He came back for only one song for his encore and it wasn't the song I wanted him to sing.
Luckily trains were extended because of the race and therefore we were able to catch it. It was a ppl jam all the way to the station but we did eventually reach it.
By the time we got home, my feet ached and I was dead tired but I had a great time!! I hope that next year I would be able to go again! :D
