Earlier today, Hubby & I caught the F1 qualifying rounds at the Padang... it was our 2nd year watching it at Padang. I was looking forward not just because I wanted to be part of the action but also because I have an excuse to stay out really late with hubby, to try out if my parents would be able to handle Ian without us around at night.
It didnt matter that this year there wasn't any acts I particularly wanted to catch (like Travis last year, which I couldn't attend). It didn't matter that the Padang grounds were wet and muddy and not like our first year where everyone lounged around on the dry grass. Or that in the end the action was mainly cars zooming past many times making a huge racket and us busy checking our iphones for live updates to read so we would know what's happening.
The date was a good breather as we could take our time to have dinner, walk around slow before and after the event, instead of rushing home as we usually do on our dates. We felt obliged to have supper just to be home as late as we can bear.
The experiment turned out pretty successful! My Dad reported that Ian just woke once at 1am. Although he wailed and looked at our bed (as if looking for us), my Mum only had to feed him 60ml before he went back to sleep. Very coorperative of him. Moves me 1 step closer to deciding to go Taipei without him.
Naturally, we couldn't stop thinking or talking about Ian and even while shopping, wanted to only buy his stuff.
I also saw 2 pregnant ladies hanging out at the party, not caring if they would have to walk alot or if the noise would be too much for their baby inside....I should be more let go for my 2nd baby i guess! In addition we spotted 2 other parents who brought their babies - who were at most 1+ years - to the action. All they had to do was to plonk an oversized set of earcovers and all seem well.
I can't wait to bring Ian to watch F1, or National Day Parade, or golf tournaments and all.
