		<description>Just my silly thoughts...It looks to me as a case of 'Chicken Little(s)' running the markets now, what with all the gloomy outlook and impacts on the various economies...It is as though the whole world is screaming, "The sky is falling! Hide!"

Things are definitely working in favour of the doomsayers, with the downward trend of stock markets worldwide, and it is gaining momentum, as evidenced by the queues of people waiting to return their AIA policies, or by depositors seeking to withdraw their money from BEA. Honestly speaking, if I had invested my money before the credit crisis occured till now, I would have been very upset. It certainly takes great courage for people to really take the plunge into the stock market in such unsettling times.

Having said that, I am intrigued by the current situation. During sales, especially where really great bargains can be found, you would find masses of people scrambling to snap up the items on sale, no matter the location, be it in Singapore or overseas. In fact, people will do their best to capitalise on such bargains, using coupons and discount vouchers etc...However, when stocks are constantly being battered to new lows, investors will try to avoid stocks as if they were plagues. It is very amusing if one would 
look at it objectively.

With all of the above said, I do not wish to point fingers at anyonefor the current crisis. Let the others do the finger pointing...after all, it can't change the current situation, right? I have mixed feelings about the topic, feeling sad that the current crisis have affected or will affect the livelihood of many innocent people; on the other hand, I am excited at how a great opportunity this crisis might turn out to be in the end. I am very envious of you, Jennifer, for being in a job that allows you to talk to various market players. It is truly something that I would wish for, provided I know what questions to ask. I will end my thoughts here with a question to you, Jennifer. "What can I do to be able to talk to these market players?"</description>

		<description>1. Who is not effected in one way or other in recent developments in the financial world. 
2. To put placed who to be blame? I will say from the naive common people to top people in the gov., banks and company.
3. Not surprise. History and stat had shown. The outcome is when?
4. Everything will sooner or later will come to a point, when it correct itself and carry on. Sadly, people don't learn.</description>

		<description>The F1 pit garages and start-finish straight yesterday evening.  Once again, he has shared his photos with me and given me permission to blog these. Work going on at the start-finish straight. I’m imagining 20 cars on the grid, waiting for the five lights to go out, signalling the start of the race. The sound is guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

		<description>Hi Jennifer

I am abuzzed with excitement and after watching the Italian Grandprix in Monza (two weeks before the next race come to town), I must admit that the drivers and the organizers are all but ready to embrace the historic event in Asia.

Firstly, the race would be held at night (first time ever in the world, and a first for all race drivers, and surely a first for all avid fans).

I also dare say that no team has any advantage over any other team in the race-no driver has raced at night before, and none has competed on open public road in Singapore. Although the Marina circuit has got what it takes to be a legendary city road circuit.

All eyes would be on Singapore come 27 Sep. I must feel proud every bit to be a singaporean. But I am concern about the safety and the risk that might involve.

At a breakneck speed of 300plus kph, blazing the track at such blistering pace on our public roads (which has never been tried and tested before) should have some concern for any crash. Potential crash is real and might be disastrous if the orgnanizer is not prepared-they should aniticipate what a night race could bring. Not forgetting that lately we have been experiencing late showers and heavy rain fall.

I think that our authorities should have let no stone unturn before the event to ensure safety at its utmost best. But all are simulated scenarios and have yet to see any real situations until the actual race begins.

As no drivers has ever race at night in a city ciruit in formula one history, I hope the authority has taken all steps and precautions to ensure an enjoyable and memorable event without major mishaps.

With the expected tourism spin-offs and many more priceless publicity Singapore would get from a worldwide audience of close to 1 billion (by the way, 8pm in Singapore is 8am in the Americas, 10pm in Australasia, 2-4pm in Europe and Africa) we could foresee that almost the entire world could witness such historic event. I hope the race drivers would provide an epic racing spectacle but bear in mind the safety measures to ensure minimum risks when overtaking or cornering-so that the world is not witnessing any uncalled for risky maneuvre that would unfold before billions pairs of eyes.

May the Singapore GP be a springboard and the one that propel many more world class sports events coming to the region, and Singaporeans are always efficient in hosting such event.</description>

		<description>I would agree 110% on what is typed by you.It will not only be a once in a lifetime experience for our tiny island,but it also let our country shine!!..

I am authentically excited about this event,but what concerns me is the safety for both F1 drivers and the spactators.What if something were to go wrong?,Will that metal fence be strong enough to protect the people from car crashes?.

But whatever the outcome maybe,i have strong gut that everything is going to be just fine.Shine on Singapore! =)</description>

		<description>Yah, I am excited about the world's first F1 night race.

I was told, the ads on the F1 vehicles, are the most expensive. Maybe that's one of the reasons why the tickets are not cheap.

Your photo(the one that links to your blog) looks really attractive.</description>

		<description>Frankly speaking, even though these recent events were/will be held here in asia, it's still telling that we are not being regarded as being "there" yet. Did you think that the F1 race in Singapore is held at night race simply because night racing is a novelty? Why do you think the schedule of the swimming finals at the Olympics were shifted into the mornings? The only time I can remember when there is sufficient fair recognition is at the 2002 World Cup in Japan/Korea when play is held at normal times. Goes to show that only soccer is truly universal in spirit, where everyone gets their turn in having to wake up at ungodly hours to watch what they love. Ironically, I am a F1 fan and not a soccer fan... :)</description>
