singapore turf club
we just got back from the singapore turf club.. yep yun din naisip ko nung una e.. what's that di ba? hehe..it's a racecourse.. just like our very own san lazaro (the one near beng's house which was recently demolished to give way to SM..) just bigger.. come to think of it.. way way bigger.. sabi nga namin when we got there, lawit na dila nung kabayo mo bago pa makarating sa finish line.. =D hehehe..oo nga naman.. i forgot to tell you why we're there.. it's our teambuilding.. o di ba.. kakaiba.. we've always wanted something different.. now, this is truly different =)
we left the office around 530pm and arrived at the turf by 630pm.. layo noh..
the ride was not that bad cause everyone on the bus has their own story to share.. we hardly noticed that an hour had already passed.. especially when the bus clock was set to 850(am/pm?) all throughout..
we occupied one of the nicest room on the place.. =D kewl! it was the lotus room on the ground level.. it was adjacent to the winning post.. with floor to ceiling glass-paneled walls..
it offered us the opportunity to witness the victorious moments of the winning horses.. dinig pa namin lahat ng hiyawan =Dit was fully air-conditioned.. pero pwede kaming lumabas if we wanted to go nearer.. =D kewl! the room was equipped with betting booths and closed circuit monitors.. it can hold up to 150 persons..
may dress code pa pla kami.. buti na lang smart casual lang.. =)
dinner was served at aroung 730pm.. mamam! overflowing na naman.. pero syempre i have to watch what i eat.. no rice na lang muna for now.. i have to taste all the kinds of food that was served.. libre e! =p yummy! and the desserts.. mmmm.. mmmm.. various cakes and mixed fruits.. =D
while eating dinner.. people started betting na.. i was hesitant to place a bet.. first of all, i know nothing about horse races.. and second.. sayang yung pera.. hehehe.. =p
pero in the end, we cant help but join in the fun.. and all the excitement.. everyone was cheering for their own horses..
we lost $15.. but it's ok.. coz now i know the basics of horse race betting.. sayang.. sana nandun si tito norbie.. para naturuan ako ng tamang strategy.. (marunong si tito di ba bengers? =D)
here's our ticket stubs.. $5 per bet.. our horses names were.. pandora, trigger express and straight flash..
