1200nn:
the queue started even before we reached there! we had wanted to see the parade from FedSq..but throngs and throngs of pple! and we couldnt even get to there...so we had to settle at collins street to watch the parade...the sun was scorching but the pple didn't mind...and the crowd just got more and more. we waited in anticipation and took out our cameras...
1230nn:
and still no engine sounds..the crowd was getting excited, and bustling...pple started climbing the trees and some even got out of their windows and perched on the building's canopy to see! the lucky fews sat in the apt, gazing from their windows arcoss the street...there were security men handling out ear plugs...Earplugs? at a parade...hmm...
1245pm:
Ah..the mayor arrives in a beemer...and of cos the official sponsors like cadbury who sent their freddy frog and fosters who sent their bevy of blondies...
12.50pm:
---Zoom---went past the first racing car! huh! i thot it was parade?? the car swept past us even before we had time to focus!
1pm:
---ZOOM!!!----went the next car...this time i managed to catch something...
1.15pm:
----ZOOOOOM!!!!----this car was too fast!! and it's engine was so deafening!!! no wonder they handed us the ear plugs! and the next one and the next one...
1.30pm:
...we all thot the parade had ended...we walked away from the barracades and bought ourselves some charity hotdogs. and munched on them hungrily..when suddenly we heard that familiar engine sound and swept past our ears...and then came another one...we pulled our necks high up..but the racing cars were so low to the ground and lots of pple were blocking!!!

...and then came the end of the parade...
the security remove the barracades and the people started moving out...and so we went back to our apts...
