The main event .. !!

We finally reached the parking ticket counter, it was like what... a couple of kilometers away from the circuit!!?!?! Anyways, we got a parking pass (which cost RM50 FYI) the counters were confusing !! there were 8 counters, people crowding all over, all look similar, but were selling for different section of the circuit! Their layout of the counters was ridiculous, I wonder what the "kwai lou's" thought about it...

After going through the jam some more towards the circuit, we finally could see the main entrance of the circuit, only to overshoot our designated carpark... Out of desperation, HD and TC decided to just park along the road, since many other cars were already doing that. A thing to keep in mind, it was already around 2.30pm by then, the sun was scorching hot that day, and we thought the races has already begun.



We walked from our car to the entrance, which was not that far. Once inside you could practically see the waves and waves of F1 supporters everywhere!! The dominating ones of course were Ferrari and BMW. They were selling F1 merchandises everywhere you looked.



Strolling around, we saw some of their stuff, saw lots of foreigners, their interesting reactions to their F1 "rivals". One of the Ferrari supporters were like "dude, your team's going down!!" and the Mclaren supporters (not really a fan of F1, so I'm guessing it's Mclaren :p)were like "Oh yea, watch your Ferrari's burn later !!"



We strolled around to see some of the stuff and after that, lined up to get into the paddocks. As expected, the lines were packed with loyal supporters from around the globe. With the intense sun, it added more heat with the sardine-like crowd.



Only after passing the gates did the fun actually begin :p

(The saga continues .. )

It was the best of days, it was the worse of days... (The dawn)

It was a weird day for me, Sunday. It was both terribly lucky and horribly unlucky at the same time...



It all began on a beautiful sunny morning. I was just thinking what to write for my blog... When a friend of mine suddenly called me up. He said he had free tickets to see the F1 finals. Who'd have thought my question would be answered so quickly :p Since it was free, I immediately took the chance to go (he agreed to drive as well, so what the hey :p)!!

Since this was last minute, I didn't get a chance to recharge the batts for my camera, so the pics are rather limited.. Anyways, so I went to the F1 finals with my friends HD and TC.



I found out that the tickets he got were Grandstand tics!! For those who don't know, these tickets are not cheap! They were directly opposite the pit-area of the F1 race. So we were pretty much excited, what being the F1 finals, great seats and all. And so the journey began!

It was a good start, the highways were more filled with more cars than usual, assuming because of the F1 event. We drove comfortably for the next half an hour or so. We were nearing the KLIA exit when it started... a massive jam heading towards the Sepang SIC.



It took us almost... 2 hours to arrive at the designated carparks catered for F1 fans..!! Fortunately the parking was not that far from the entrance of the circuit. During that time, we started to talk about all kinds of crap.

Sub-site in development (under wraps currently)

Thinking of creating a brother site to this current one focusing on one particular topic. Will reveal when the site is ready. Probably by beginning of May.

Just wanna keep a side project, to help me and hopefully others with it as well. Will keep you updated with anything regarding it.

Random thoughts ~

Determination and curiosity don't mix. I dunno, maybe it does, but for me, it's just a horrible mixture. If I'm determined to achieve something, I have to be single-minded and not let other things come to mind. On the other hand, curiosity makes me question everything I do. It makes me start digging into other matters which results into side-tracking.

Lately, I've been having a strange recurring thought about engineering. Everything around us is a result of engineering. From the pc's we use right down to the homes we live in. Even if you think about it, all living things are also a feat of engineering marvel. I can't recall clearly... but I remember once I received an email (if you're really a loyal religion follower, you might not want to read the following..) stating that God is the best of all engineers. If you think about it, it's really true. I mean think about it, everything seemed to be "designed" as it were supposed to ~ Everything is working in harmony. It's something which is still far from reach by any mere mortal on this planet.

More down to Earth however, engineering marvels are created constantly as well. For example, the toilet. Without it, this would be a inhospitable environment, with stinks everywhere !! And it's taken for granted by everyone since we use it everyday (except for the malaysian government who seems to be taking steps to ensure more cleanliness in public places now... or so they say). So, if you think about it, we can't live without engineers. If it's not because of engineers, I wouldn't be able to write this, and everyone would not be able to read my insightful (*Puke*) opinions. ; )

P/S: To make this sinfully boring blog more interesting, I'll be thinking of some topic to dish about to readers who are interested. Not sure what yet, but I'll think of something... for now.. well, I hope there'll be still readers, hahaha.
