Cars are getting more and more expensive in Singapore. Went to the Volkswagon Event yesterday upon invite by my friend who happen to be going and ask me along. Thanks to her for asking me along. Event was at the site of the People's Association.
The allocated carpark lots was not full when we reached. Valet parking was available if needed. Upon reaching, we were guided to the counter for registration. Was being informed by the staff that only online registration will be given a $10 coupon to be used at their refreshment area but all of us will receive a goodie bag. The staff was friendly. We walk around theevent area and stop at the kids corner whereby we let the 2 babies - Ella & Eason to make some handicrafts, listen to story and magic show.
Just as we were going to leave the area, it starts to drizzle. Lucky there were shelter to the next area which is the car display area. There were lots of Volkswagon car being displayed ranging from the saloon car to the sirocco series to th 7 seaters model to the latest model of Golf GTI E35.
Design was cool and sporty but the price of it was also cool huh. It cost a whooping $205,000 inclusive of the COE. COE really makes a big difference man. When will it goes down so that i can realise my dreams of owning a car.
After that we venture into their merchandise showroom whereby my frend spend $300 to purchase their belt, wallet, keychains and 2 of the GTI jersey for the 2 babies.
Rain starts to get heavier and heavier when we venture to the refreshment areas. Bought some food using whatever coupons we have to purchase drinks and snacks. Just as we started to enjoy our food, we realise that water starts to seep into the area and water start to flow to the area that we are in, we faster move the table to a drier area but in the end its of no use as well. Luckily the rain stops soon after and the water subsided. It really feels scary when u see the water flowing towards you like going to gobble you up. I think this is what the thais are feeling when the area they in gets flooded recently.
We venture to watch the catwalk competition that was being held at the main stage but got lost with my frend hubby. After much searching and calling on mobile, we manage to find him near the refreshment area. Soon after we went back to the car, actually they wanted to try the car wash by those bikini babe and beefcake hunks but then the traffic around the area got heavy and decided not to do so.
