Fast and Furious Weekend

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008 10 views

Bear with me, incessant ramblings of things happening during the weekend.

Last Friday night, I met up with some friends from my Facebook Group. We had drinks and chit chatted from 10.00pm till 4.30am in the morning. Then went back sleep for a while, 5.30am fetched housemates and friends to LCCT. They are in Sabah now, climbing Mount Kinabalu. Yes I told some of you I would go for the trip but I cancelled it at the last minute due to some personal reasons. (lol.. what an excuse!) Never mind, maybe next time haha!

Came back from LCCT around 7.30am, went to sleep and woke up at 12.30pm. Then went to KL Sentral to wait for Cibol to go to Sepang International Circuit to watch the qualifying race at 2pm-3pm. But…. Jeng jeng jeng… We ended up at Roy’s place, playing PS2 Winning Eleven, don’t ask me why :D Yes, we didn’t go for the qualifying session. We battled it out on the virtual field instead :D I love Winning Eleven (now known as Pro Evolution Soccer 2008), it is my favorite game, I think I am quite good at it hehe. Anyone is up for a challenge? *Wink!


I love this game!!

Saturday night I went to a good friend’s house warming makan-makan session at Kinrara. I was green with envy! When lah is the time for me to have my own shitting place? The next day early morning I went to KL Sentral . I almost forgot to bring the F1 tickets, was rushing to reach KL Sentral by 10.00am. Met Cibol there, we took the commuter to Nilai then boarded the bus to Sepang International Circuit. The place is damn crowded with people and cars!! It is reported that this year race attracted the biggest crowd since 10 years of hosting F1 race.

The 10th edition of the Malaysian GP marked a milestone when it breached the 125,000-spectator mark for the first time. A total of 126,690 fans thronged the Sepang F1 Circuit. Last year’s event attracted 115,000 people while the inaugural race in 1999 drew about 80,000 fans. – The Star


Petronas petrol station opposite the circuit - Look at the cars. All the roads, both directions from LCCT and KLIA to SIC jammed with cars. Lucky didn’t drive there.


Just reached the place. This mamat perasan I was taking his photo.. hehe


Walking to the circuit. The weather was damn hot!!!


F1 fans congregation?


Merchandise booths


Citrine seats – RM700 each! More expensive then flying back to Sarawak haha! Lucky I got it free :P

It was fantastic to actually be there at last, when all this while I was following the race through the television set haha! You get to experience the monstrous sound of the car engines, it is so loud and deafening, you think your skull is splitting that you must wear an ear plug or else you can’t enjoy the race. (How to enjoy if you end up covering your ears with your hands all the time :P)


Ehem.. I was there??

Close your eyes and picture this - You get to see the sexy curves…, hearing the purring sounds… witness the fast, zipping in and out, non-stop actions…. and it goes on for 2 long hours.. how cool is that? I was referring to the cars lah.. what do you think?

We left the circuit before the race was over, (Kimi Raikonnen was leading at that time, after Felipe Massa spun off on 30th lap) because we didn’t want to get caught in the jam. This time we took a bus to KL Sentral. A little ‘argument’ happened when we bought the tickets, I was pissed off at this one uncle for trying to charge us RM10 for the trip to KL Sentral. The bus would go to Puduraya and on its way would stop at KL Sentral, he said but he charged us the price to Puduraya. Only when I went to the opposite road and another ticket seller told us it was only RM8 to KL Sentral, and RM10 is the price to Puduraya I get pissed off and went back to look for the uncle..

Me : Uncle, I want a refund. I don’t want to take your bus. I only need to go to KL Sentral, not Puduraya.

Uncle : This bus is going to KL Sentral. And we cannot return the tickets we already sold.

Uncle : We only have RM10 tickets. I cannot do refund.

Me : Well, in the first place, you lied to me about RM10 is to KL Sentral, that’s why I bought the tickets from you. You were asking me to pay extra for the trip I don’t need and never told me RM10 is to Puduraya. I don’t mind to board your bus, but I will only pay RM8, the price to KL Sentral.

Guess my botak look and pierced lips make me look scary and probably not someone to mess with, (ha! ha! ha!) After a little heated ‘argument’ he reluctantly gave us back the money and we returned the tickets. So we got our RM8 tickets from another bus company!! :D Oh yeah, you guys should know by now, Ferrari- Kimi Raikkonen 1st place, BMW Sauber - Robert Kubica 2nd place and McLaren - Heikki Kovalainen 3rd place.The rest not worth the mention :P Bad day for McLaren. Sigh!


The Iceman

Sunday night, big games - ManYoo vs Liverpool and Chelsea vs Arsenal. Watched the games with Cibol, Roy and Stef at Roy’s place. Stupid Liverpool played kanasai and lose 3 goals to ManYoo. Lousy Reina, macam tangkap ayam only. The second game, no need to mention lah! Gloat all you guys want. There will always be next year. ROTFLMAO!

Sekian terima kasih.

p/s : I took a some photos of the cars and drivers during the race, but the pictures quality far from good, cannot be presented, you guys go google for better photos lah haha! Must armed myself with a DSLR next time :P I wish!
