Lucky me.
My cousin bro got me, bro and my aunt golden tickets to -- F1!
Was told earlier, that the road would be jammed massively. So, the 3 of us took off from house about 2.30pm(couple of hours earlier)! I drove & it was my 1st ride to Sepang all by my own.(Of coz, I got instructions from dad for the way to go there.) xD The road was smooth and not bumpy at all, so what comes next? Yea of coz, s-p-e-e-d all the way. Hah! Kids nowadays...... Thinking back, I'd agree that speeding on an Unser, almost to the max reading of the speedometer(160km/h), is probably not such of a good idea(especially when having your aunt wit you in the car). Unser was meant as family car for safe drive, afterall.
From Pj to Sepang, it was about half an hour. Thanks to the highways alone, definitely not to the tolls. Sigh I've always hated tolls. Its really quite EASY to know whether you've made it to Sepang's territory, coz it's just simply very-obvious. HOW SO?
You see signboards guiding to the circuit, everywhere!
You see 'ordinary' cars stucked in the jam, just next to you.
They even drive slowly, so that we(basically everyone on the road) could have a glimpse of just how 'ordinary' their car is!
me. =P
my leftside.
on my front. V-VIP i reckon, Najib our current prime minister was sitting in there.

sigh.

Well, in order to get into the Sepang Circuit area, you must have parking sticker on your car. Very important, they say. So I followed the signboards and drove to the ticket booth. To see the crowd at the booth, I was like 'Ouw man...' =x Worsening the situation, I went to wait in the line alone(bro and aunt waited in the car), that is without any knowledge of whether I should buy car-sticker for 'Grandstand' or 'Hillstand'... And I couldn't even call my cousin bro to ask for, coz I left my hp in the car =='' swtt. So I just thought who cares and que'd up for 'Grandstand', reached counter and asked for the cheapest grandstand ticket available, and the bloody sticker costed rm50. =x Wth. I've collected stickers! I've parked cars at so many places! But never once, it costed me so much! Sigh.
Followed on the signs to car park, mine was PA4! (red colour part of the banner)..

And it was so true about the massive jam. I got caught in the middle of jam for about an hour something = | swtt. Sticking bumper to bumper so none can cut into my lane while cutting into others lane so suddenly without giving a slight signal, that is exactly how d ride was!
Eventually, we made it to the car park. EWWWW ! HOW EXACTLY OPPOSITE IT WAS FROM WHAT I'VE HAD IN MIND OF THE CAR PARK!! The car park was actually a field, which was all MUDDY due to the rain. WTH =='' rm50 for muddy-car-park eh? =\
The race was almost gonna start. And we were yet to be at the circuit! So we rushed all the way up to the circuit. Reaching the main entrance and having to hear the starting cheer, was really disappointing! Sigh we missed the starting of the race! Damnit. = |
Went straight looking for our seats thn. Seats found, only then to have discover that our seats were actually at d very 1st row. And just eye-front of the starting line, that is! DAMNIT! If only we made it earlier by 10min, we would have gotten to see d race start from the best point of view! HAIYORR. =\

I didn't had a camera wit me, so I tried to catch all the F1 cars using my N70. And I only managed to get their shade. HaHa xD
Vrroomm-compilation.
Then, clouds got darker. While its been just 30laps finished(1hour of race), only half of the whole!
sigh.
Race went on for a few more laps. Racers begun to slow down though, so I got to snap picture of the real car, not just the shades. xD
But, still the race had to be stopped. =\ AWWW.... Can't blame it, the circuit reali got slippery that I even got to see a few F1 cars skid a lil' on the track. Pfft! Dangerous weih! So, the car-crew all crowded up on the track, no longer thn.
ferrari crew!

I clearly remember hearing the announcement saying that the match will be started again. A while after that, I saw the prizes were being given. What? I was kinda blurred. Well, no matter for that. Guess it was becoz of the rain continued on and darkness descended after the twilight started, so they called it off for tht race. =\
Of all of the racers, this one caught my attention. Mark Webber of Red Bull, who stood in the 6th place for the match. How? Simply by a hand wave that he gave to the direction where I was, and also his smile in the rain -- which seemed quite weak and disappointed though.
Mark Webber
I'd say it was a perfect 1st experience for me! As, I got to watch F1 in LIVE! Moreover, I got to watch F1 race in both, sunny&rainy weather. =D hah! Thanks to my cousin bro! The ticket was 1.5k each... So it was really nice of him! =D THANKS A LOT anne!
