Do you feel the heat of the upcoming Singtel Grand Prix F1 race this coming Friday (26th Sept – 28th Sept 08) yet? This is the so-called first F1 race in Singapore. The newspaper has been reporting about this the whole time especially when it’s nearer to the date of commencement. We had held similar Grand Prix in the early 1960s to 1970s (event were held in Thomson Road) until they decided to stop this event (due to increase in traffic blah blah) in Singapore.

And now, it’s back. It’s now grand-er than the past. (of cos lah). Everyone has been anticipating this event ever since it was annouced last year? And I heard, that if there is any injuries, organiser will not be responsible. Which means, if one of the F1 car flip and topple over you (CHOY), you die and it’s your business. But, we should have faith in these experienced F1 racer. Don’t you agree? Moreover, the cars will be travelling in a speed whereby if you blink and didn’t manage to catch it, u suay loh. But don’t worry, they will be driving 61 laps, surely you will catch a glimpse of those racing cars that makes you droop.

This event will be held for 3 days and for these 3 days if you were to take cab anywhere near the racing area, prepare to pay extra $5. This is what I don’t understand loh. WHY do we have to pay extra $5 for taking cab in those area? With the roads closed, it means that the cab will take a longer route to the destination and this means more money for the cabby. And this is still not enough for them to tok(chop) us of our money meh? Cab fare has been increasing non stop and pay remains the same. Taking cab from my house (Jurong West) to my work place (Jurong East) cost almost $10 or sometimes more due to jam. Imagine if you are working in the East area and you are staying in the west, you are damn suay on one particular day and you woke up late for work and have to take cab down, the normal cab fare ($2.80/$3.00/$3.20, depending on which luxury cab you take loh) + 35% peak hour surchange + $0.30 fuel surchange (can’t believe that they are STILL charging this surcharge even though fuel prices has dropped) + traffic jam, I might as well let the company deduct my pay for being late because it’s really bo hua (not worth) to be late (having to rush and prepare to get out of ur hse, take cab and still let company deduct money after paying so much on cab fare). Even going to nearby place like B.B East to BBDC can cost almost 5bucks. Sighed. They are legal robbers who robs us of our hard earn money. And before you know it, almost half of the pay is wasted on the cab fare.

Nevermind about this. The most we don’t take cab. Even now the cabby can complain no business on the normal days. Of cos lah, it’s very chor (expensive) to keep taking cab to work loh.

Ok lah, just want to grumple a bit loh. Because I work so near yet so chor, really buay tahan loh.

Anyways, if we are those kia si one, stay at home and watch Channel 5. If you are those brave ones, go grab your tickets afterall it’s a rare event. =]
