1st Day of working at F1 park- Rached Nicoll Highway MRT station at 7.30am, 30mins late. However, there were a lof of people waiting. Our employer briefed us a while later and led us into the F1 park and was spilt into zones like Pit area, Block A,B,C, Turn 1,2,3 and Gov. Turn. I was allocated to Turn 3, along with Huiyi,Ziana,Rachael and 6 others.
At the area,i did cleaning of Grandstand,cleaning of glass panels, vacuuming of the floors at suites. Initially there was alot of people doing at Turn 3 area( Total of 8young adults like huiyi,ziana,rachael,myself,randy,shariff,bee boon and one other of her friend whom i dunno her name, along with several uncles and malaysian indians(They are transferred from Changi airport)
1st day was more tiring, but as there are many people around, the job was done in a faster rate. However,Bee Boon's friend decided to quit about 3hours after it started, despite the fact that she was supposed only to maintain the toilet at Turn 3's suites.Lunch was delayed due to our boss not able to obtain the coupons for the staff canteen and he have to go and buy takeaways from the nearest foodcourt for us.
So,Huiyi had to take over her during the afternoon as Bee Boon's friend left.
At around 3.15pm, while i was cleaning up the seating area near the suites, GP2,which are the smaller version of F1, began to race along the marina bay circuit(training session). Eagering to watch, i purposely slowed down my work speed and worked and watch those cars racing at the same time. It ended at 4.30pm. By then,i have already finished my work.
Getting bored, i ran back to the toilet area and slacked off for a short time, before walking around the Turn 3 area to see if there was any work for me. Sure enough, A waiter from Sky suite told me that the tables need drying, as there was a rain some time ago just before GP2 practice session ended. The floors also require cleaning. So i simply went up there to do the job
By this time, Huiyi,Ziana and Rachael also decided to quit and left the area, leaving Randy to take over Huiyi to look after the toilet.
While i was drying up the tables and sweeping the floor,F1 cars began to start their practice sessions. Among those cars, they mainly came from Ferrari and Redbull teams. Like what i did a few hours ago, i slowed down my work and watched and worked at the same time. it was thrilling to watch those F1 cars racing along turn 2 and 3, which are said to be the crucial areas to overtake one another.And the engines are very ear piecing(Damn Loud!!). It last untill 6.45pm which they took a break for awhile before training again.
By this time, Bee boon, who was taking care of the female toilet at the opposite side of where Randy was standing, also wanted to watch. I simply told her to get a rag,followed me to the sky suite. I simply told her to pretend to clean the railings while watching. She went there for like 15-20mins beofore going back to take care of the toilet, as she could not afford to leave the toilet unattended. A uncle told her there was a area near those toilets that can watch those F1 cars training..
I stayed there for 7.40pm, yet i was not caught as they knew i was supposed to be there ((:
By 8.10pm, we were able to go home. Little did i think that tml there will be far fewer people which i will post soon!
