Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a celebration that marks the end of the fasting month – Ramadan.  Yes, it was holiday for us here in the Philippines too with respect to Muslim traditions.  End of Ramadan means a break after a month of sacrifice and Muslims often gather and set up sundown and vibrant bazaars in Kampong Glam and Geylang Serai.

“It’s Louder Than Life”

The people who go here are not necessarily motorsports enthusiasts but they are people who don’t want to miss out on all the fun that the Grand Prix Season Singapore has to offer.

LOUD F1 Singapore Street Race at Night

One, you get to witness a LOUD street race! I brought my boyfriend with me a year ago and he was so “mayabang” He’s like, why did you buy me earmuffs? I was like “Ah ganun, wait till the race starts!”

My boyfriend is not an F1 fan, but after witnessing it, he was such a convert. He got so surprised at the deafening sound of the F1 cars as it passed by Padang area where he was seated. He cried for mercy for the earmuffs I bought him!

The race was also full of LOUD action. Michael Schumacher, Nick Heidfeld and Lewis Hamilton got into an accident in front of me! LUCKY ME!!! (I mean, you get lucky when you witness this in front of you because they get out of their car and walkd).  Also, on that race, Heikki Kovalainen’s car got engulfed in fire! No one was hurt. The FIA (governing body of F1) always makes sure that the drivers, the spectators and everyone else is safe. So even if there are fires and accidents, they only get minor injuries. This was a learning experience from the death of an F1 legend – Ayrton Senna.

Now now, the Singapore F1 race is a night race – adding to the challenge of a street race. Yes, the drivers will be driving around Marina Bay area. Unlike non-street circuits, there is a lesser or no margin for error at all. When a driver gets tired, or the team miscalculates, you could get smashed into the wall. It amazes me how I see cars pass by swiftly over a corner 1-inch from the wall!

Party LOUD and Dance the night away in GPSS

Now, the other reason to get LOUD is the party and the entertainment!

This is DJ Angie Vu Ha, one of the many DJs that will hit the beat with your favorite hits!

Every party station will be packed! St. James, Chjimes, Amber Lounge, Avalon and many more!

Singapore is a very strict country, but it does know how to party! I guess the strict policies are for the protection of everyone. Like I would walk on the streets at midnight and I would not be afraid. Of course, don’t do this in scary areas because after all, you never know what could happen.

Every year, Grand Prix Season Singapore hosts local and international artists. A lot of them! In my 3 years of covering it, I lack the powers to watch everything so you may choose the one that interests you.

I woud live LOUDER THAN LIFE when I dance to Shakira’s live performance! This is something I don’t want to miss. She is such a unique performer with that signature voice and belly moves! Here’s why I want to watch her (link).

Linkin’ Park is also one of the performers that I am dying to witness! I have been waiting for these two to perform in the Philippines. Come to think of it, the walkabout tickets are very reasonably affordable – thinking you get to see mini concerts of Shakira, Linkin’ Park, Rick Astley, Boy George, Shaggy, LMFAO, Ludacris, Charice and many other performers.

The 3 day walkabout tickets are at around P6,000. This would allow you to watch all of them, enjoy the party everywhere. And of course, witness the most luxurious motorsport in the world – F1 Grand Prix. The cheapest is the Single-Day Friday ticket at P1500.

I would love to go to the Amber Lounge party. This is my only chance to rub elbows with the F1 drivers. But, it costs a bit, so we’ll see abou that 🙂

LOUD CROWD

Foreigners flock to Singapore every time Grand Prix Season Singapore happens. It’s like a feast and everyone is on vacation mode. Everyone is on a party mood! This is also the perfect time to meet people and befriend others.

You can never go wrong with the crowd! Many of my friends are watching and this will be fun!

SCREAMING Singapore

Singapore itself is LOUDER than life. They have Universal Studios now, Marina Bay Sands, the new attractions at Sentosa. Sentosa now has iFly – a sky diving simulator. You will be literally flying and defying gravity!

So how am I going to Live Louder than Life in Signapore? Definitely cartwheels everywhere, I’m going to dance the night away, I’m going to take awesome pictures, and I’m going to defy gravity by trying a pole class there.

So everytime I’m in Singapore, it just makes me want to do this:

If you still haven’t seen the pattern of my latest blog posts,  then it’s about time I tell you the obvious… These bars I that I have been featuring lately could be your ticket to watch the Formula 1 race in Signapore 🙂

All you need to do is to order any of the Rev&Rave drinks or barchow from participating bars and get a chance to win a trip to Singapore to attend the 2010 Grand Prix Season Singapore and other cool prizes!

I tried the Rev&Rave drink at White Avenue.  To tell you frankly, I got tipsy happily and I forgot to ask what their Rev&Rave drink is.  You just find out for yourself okay… All I can do is to describe the drink and the taste of it the best that I can remember.

That’s me before drinking the Feiry Rev&Rave drink

Yup, that’s the FIRE-y drink… literally 🙂

Check out the video 🙂

After I did it, I filled out this raffle form 🙂

and yes, this is giddy me after all the drinks I had

I also made friends because of the F1 Singapore Grand Prix Season.  I made friends not only here in Manila but also friends from outside the country like Vietnam, Singaprore and UK.  This is because I receive a lot of emails from Formula 1 fans and they ask me a few questions about the F1 race.

Here are some love mails I receive from them.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up buying Bay Grandstand as they are selling out fast. Saw some nice shots from people and one where the cars come out from under the grandstand, so you are above. No fences or anything:)

Are security tough with lenses. In Australia you arent allowed 300mm but they dont like big cameras and monopods. Some security are ok and some arent. I just want to bring a 5D and 70-200mm lens.

Are you going this year? If so I look forward to your shots on your site.

Cant wait!

Thanks for your help

Hi Hannah
Just to let you know that i had a great time in singapore for the race, but had to leave when hamilton passed the winning line due to catching the train back to the airport.
Found out that the last train to the airport was 23.15pm, so i had to avoid the ques, but well worth the travel.

Looking forward to this years racing.

Hi Hannah,

It was all worth it. Yes I had some good shots. I will post it soon, I just don’t have the time right now….dami kasing pictures. Infact I have not selected yet. What about you? hows your coverage? Too bad you got sick. Guess what, I was able to shoot the drivers few meters away from me…..really worth it.

Regards,

-F1 fan and photographer from Manila

Hello Hannah it has been a while since we last spoke. Understand you are having great adventures on the waves. Anyhoo I thought I’d let you know that they have started distributing the Singapore F1 tickets here in Singapore. I got mine yesterday. If you are as curious as I was before I got them, maybe you’d like to see how they look. I got them on my blog.

Anyhoo you take care and keep enjoying those waves. Till next time, good bye and God bless.
