Let me start things off by saying: waddup.
Ok, now that my very inspirational speech is over with, let's get on with the post.

5th April 2009.
Sepang.
(man i luv makin this kind of intros :D)
Anyway, on the 5th day of April, Malaysia hosted the 2nd round of the 2009 F1 World Champ'ship. Izaq, ern and I pakat2 go together there. So here's how the day went:

Met up with those 2 at Sentral, hopped on a bus and left for sepang.

In the bus...

After around an hour or so, the bus stopped at the circuit. We didn't go out cause we thought the bus would take us deeper into the circuit. Dead wrong. It went to LCCT instead.








Izaq worried like *&@#%*&$@% alraedy...


Since we were there, we just decided to have our lunch there knowing that the food in the SIC is damn expensive.












Solving + makaning = pro sial

So, after a stomach-filling lunch, we headed off to the SIC.









In the bus with a really retarded expression...


Bla bla bla, a few minutes later we FINALLY arrived at the destination we were suppose to be at 30 minutes before. it was raining moderately so we had to run all the way to the shuttle. We went in, as it took us to the Mall area where it got worse. The rain was getting heavier and we had to sprint. Damn was the place crowded... this is how it looked like:

















Ferrari flyin' high....well not so :S

After the rain stopped a little we went jalan2 here and there. They then uncovered this F1 car; BMW Sauber F1.08, where it got the attention of most photographers. Even I went and sibuk there hehe



















So yeah after that we went to the shuttle to go to C2 and watch a little bit of Formula BMW i think.

tick-tock-tick-tock.
The time is here. yay.

I can't really describe much bout the race in words, so check out my video at the bottom of the post.








before the race...








too fast to follow...









starting to rain...









raining not so heavily...









race canceled... :(












Sooo... The race went on as usual and damn did it sound awesome. Yeah its ear-drum-breaking, but in a good way. Sad thing is, rain got too heavy and the red flags were waved, instructing the drivers to stop. We waited and waited for the results. Meanwhile, the crowds are going hyper as this one Finnish guy starts to run around shirtless in the rain and falling down a few times. Then, the lightning struck the something on the track so the only TV screen that we could watch broke down. There was even one guy who pissed at the fence. The people then did the Mexican wave that stretched from the left and went all the way to the right end of the C2 area. Then the announcement came.
Race Cancelled.
Jenson Button won.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dissapointment at its best. Left the area muddy and angry. Grrr. But that wasn't the worst part though. The queue for the shuttle was superbly long, so we decided to walk to the mall area. Dark and cold. Reached the place, where it was FULL of peoples and vehicles and we really didn't know where we are. took the wrong turn and went into this place where its muddy and full of holes and was it DAMN DARK as we could barely see ourselves. Found out that we couldn't go through the huge longkang so we had to go all the way back. 1 hour walking. damn. We then searched for a bus and went back to sentral. 1 hour journey but it was ok though cause bus was really comfortable. Reached sentral and stopped by the food court to hav a cup of hot milo as I was suffering from so called 'parkinsons'. Waited outside where we met this very friendly Sarawakian dude. Ishaq's dad picked us up (thanks!), dropped me off and I went straight to bed.









What a day.
Bye for now! hope u enjoyed reading it.
