Guess where i went last weekend? Yes, i was at the F1 Malaysian Grand Prix for the second time :D!! This time around, i went with Nara cos my dad manage to ask his friend to get some tickets for me. Funny thing was, i didn't expect to go in the first place. But at 7.55 am, my dad's friend called me and said he had 2 tickets and asked if i wanted to go. At first i asked my roommate, but i guess he was still in dreamland so he just answered in a series of grunts n groans. Then, called Nara, luckily for once, he picked uped at 8+ in the morning!!! (those who know him know wat i mean by lucky!)
The ticket that i got this time round
So by 1030 , met nara at KL Sentral where we took the train to Nilai and then a shuttle bus from there. Shit man, that i guess was one of the worse ways to go. Damn slow and the bus had no aircon.. wtf... *note to self : take the shuttle bus straight from KL Sentral to SIC and don't be so kiam siap* . Anyways manage to get there in one n a half hours time. The weather was like any other, HOT!! freakin HOT!!
nah, my front shot, nara lookin at the race
We didn't get to sit at the grand stand, but from where we were sitting, it was one of the best seats in the house (seconded by Nara) ; right at the second corner. We could see the first corner, second chicane, third and fourth from our seats!! Awesome man!!
First part of our view, the first corner
As usual, there were lots and lots of people there. Majority of them were not locals. Gues not many can afford. Or maybe they know better to watch in the comfort of their seats at home? I think i saw Hannah Tan there , i think i smiled at her n she smiled back, but when i realised it was her n wanted to take a pic, she was lost in the crowd :(.
Ppl at the grand stand
1 sad thing about this years race la, there was no air show by the Air Force :( . Was really looking forward to it besides the race itself. Anyways, by the time we got there, the Porche GT race was over and the drive around by the PM and drivers on old old cars was underway.
The old skol cars
One thing i forgot to bring was earplugs. For those who have not been to a race, ear plugs are very essential for the spectators. 1 F1 car passing u at full speed is still ok, 2 will be barely tolerable. But 22 at once on the first lap will bust ur ear drums man! So, in the end, spent 10 bucks on 1 pair of ear plugs which are actually foam. But hey, it was damn worth it la. Not to say i don't enjoy the sound of a v8 engine revving at 18k rpms, but i still wanna be able to have good hearing by the time i hit 60 weh. No doubt, this is the best sound on earth!! The raw power is simply awesome!! beats a G3 concert anytime man! Its like having n orgasm in ur ears!! hahaha :s
The crowd from where i was sitting... a sea of red.. luckily they didn't win :P
Took alot of photos as u can see, but seeing so many ppl in the crowd with thier DSLR cameras n thier tua ki lenses makes my camera look.. small. hahaha.. Don't want to elaborate much on the race, but it was damn exciting. McLaren got a 1-2 finish so thats like icing on the cake for me :D.
Race winner Fernando Alonso. Hurray!! :D
Rookie Lewis Hamilton. Manage to get 2nd place! Well done lad!
Kimi chasing Lewis the entire race..
Thats wat i call a Spyker Sandwich :P
Alright la, think that should be it. Don't wanna upload too many pics, scared it'll take damn slow to load for u readers. Hopefully, next year i'll be able to go again :D *fingers crossed*
1 day, i'll own this car or a better model :D
Oh, Linkin Park's new vid : What I've Done. Rocking song.. Think my hair looks better thn Chesters though :P
