i know i have not been blogging for the longest time, much to the dismay of my loyal readers (as if there are any to begin with). Call it lazy, force of inertia or whatever, just lazy to satisfy my readers.

So i will make a couple of entries at one go

Start with F1

Held in Singapore last weekend. Probably had some difficulties in moving around for many Singaporeans because of congestions and road closures. But i think having F1 around is amazing. Walked around the area after work last friday. It was like a carnival at night! Just like the feeling i experienced in Wimbledon. We seriously need more events like this, Singapore is too serious! We need to loosen up, to make this place a fun place. And i caught the race on the racing night, the landscape of Singapore looks amazing in the glittering lighting.

It is quite impossible to think that Singapore has a F1 plus two casinos under construction. It is rather unbelievable. Of course, Singapore has made it explicit that we are modelling ourselves as Monaco of the East. F1 came 10 years late and casinos coming at least 20 years late. But i think it is better to be late than never. But lotsa of catching up to do for us, but our government has to make sure everyone is moving along as well.
