Fine formulaic fun

"I'm sheering for Mashaa!" piped a voice from the recesses of the bean bag.
That was the little chef, busy making Playdoh muffins for the F1 party. My dear little one has always had a soft spot for "sh"s....as he shouted his cheers for Massa.

"Amma, who are you voting for?"
Amma has never been an F1 aficionado but she quite liked the looks of Lewis Hamilton.

"Okay, amma and I are voting for Lewis Hamilton" announced the aspiring rock star, cozying upto his mom in a you-and-me-only moment only a little one can create.

"I am for Ferrari...Massa, Massa, Massa..." the 8 year old future gold trader, cheered. The guy is a winner...at least he knows whom to bet on....as soon as Massa gave up, he gave up too.

"I am rooting for......Acha, who is leading now?......Ya, Rosberg."

Fortunes are fickle in Formula 1...10 minutes later...

"No, no, no....I am with Coulthard"

Agony as Coulthard drops behind....

"Acha, one laaaaaast chance.....Rosberg, again!!!"

Meanwhile, the little chef was onto dessert and the rock star was enjoying the cuddle and snuggle with his mom, while fiercely guarding his green tea and potato chips from the marauding hands of the bigger Martians...

Nope, none of us are F1 fans...but somehow, the racy bug that had bitten most Singaporeans during the first Formula 1 night race seemed to have had bitten us too....how else could a 4 year old rock star, his twin muffin maker and an 8 year old trader of yellow metal gather together for one and a half hours of fine formula fun, suspending the usual Martian attacks for....the Red Ranger, which ish alwaysh mine?!!!

PS: If you want to know... finally, Alonso won the race!

  1. That was a fun read. Especially loved the line on 'you-and-me-moment' by the little one.

  2. Yay......I am an Alonso fan :D. Here we have two F1 aficionados, me and M, we even tried to get tickets to singapore at the last minute, which we didn't get! But S gets frustrated with us when the F1season begins. Hamilton is a wise choice friend ;). The little chef should probably not lay too much bet on Masha :D.
