F1

Had to go into the F1 site yesterday to settle some work business. Hahaa...
Went to the main site near the Singapore Flyer.
That's where all the main ops centres are and where the media communications booths are set up.

A colleague who's stationed there came to fetch me in with an F1 buggy. Damn cute...like those you see on the golf courses.

The whole place was buzzing. Not with excitement I feel...Rather it was buzzing with a kind of nervousness and last-minute rush.

Foreign workers were still setting up fences, barricades, scaffolding. People were milling about looking lost. Since not all barriers were up yet, there were members of the public who were wandering about all over the place. Taking pictures and adding to the chaos.

Security personnel were here and there. But generally looked lost as well.

Loads of BMWs were plasterd with F1 stickers and had sirens and flashing lights placed on top of them. All driven by big burly ang mohs. All of them looked like bodyguards. They were driving here and there. Not quite sure what were they supposed to be doing though.

I saw the track. A portion of it at least. Cordoned off to all cars and vehicels and buggies. Only the marked BMWs were allowed to go onto the tracks....

Hmm mm....I seriously wonder, if our contract is for the next 5 years, will the lights be taken down till next year? Or will they be left there...? Hmm mm....
Where will the buildings go? Or will they be left there as well?
