F1 Sepang Race 2007

It was a Good Friday, as we headed up to our neighbouring country, Malaysia towards Kuala Lumpur city. There were 8 of us.
There was a jam at the Malaysia custom, so it took us an hour plus to clear the immigration. After that, the traffic was quite smooth sailing.

The car we sat were first class, a JDM model Honda Accord with my Ipod not working with the original car audio headunit.

Driver: Clement Cheong; O+
Navigator: Chris Lee ; O+

Back seat:
Sleeper: Eugene with a "mask"; AB+
Another Sleeper: Small Chris; O+

It was all fun shopping, shopping, foot reflexology and eating their local food in KL. I did not know Clement is a shopperholic! Gosh ~! He can really shop !! We have walked several shopping centres to look for his expensive Timberland slippers, OOps I meant sandals. He was very particular regarding the words I used for his 'sandals".
But we did not manage to persuade Charlie to buy any stuff during our shopping tour.

Of course there is always this topic about Chris(thats me) and small Chris. Why small Chris is actually Chris Lim. Why is he called Small Chris? Whats the story behind it? They always ponder.......

People always asked that question... Then we will start with the time when we were in the army ...blah ..blah...blah ....(please email me if you wishes to know more about this story)

After our makan "brunch" at the Famous Ba Kut Teh stall at Jalan Imbi. We headed towards F1 Sepang Circuit.






Saw a yellow Lamborghini zooming pass us along the way and some 4x4 SUV together with saloon cars, taxis going onto the grass patches to beat the traffic jam on the highway. Luckily I left my car at home. Phew!

The car park was packed, car parked everywhere and anywhere! We fully parked our cars in front of a big hump. The F1 organiser did not maintain the surrounding of the F1 circuit, its a shame to this world class event. Finally I realized the car park we were in, was a MotorCross Race Track!
Having paid RM50 ticket for each person, we finally found a nice green grass patch in the open centre of the area K2. We spread out our ground sheets and each of us carries an umbrella. The heat was intense with no wind. We got our T shirts off, put on our suntan lotions and we wait for the race to commence.

As the race started to commence, after the National Anthem, there was no Fighter Jets zooming pass the circuit. Probably they are on a tight budget that they have to skip the Fighter Jets!

When the race commences at 3pm, the Formula 1 cars roar pass us with their V8 engines! The roaring sound from the F1 cars are tremendously loud and high pitch! The crowd roars loudly as they passes us.



If you have seen those fanciful ear plugs on TV, maybe you can consider these weird looking ear plugs Charlie had on them. Nevertheless, they still works accordingly to him ;-).


Food and drinks were expensive in the circuit. Small packet of Peanuts and soft drinks cost RM5 each! T shirt, each costing RM 160 and above.

The Race ended with McLaren with a 1st and 2nd position with Alonso, 1st on the Podium. Ferrari was 3rd. So we lost a bet worth of bucket of beer to Clement as he happily giggled!

Then it was going back to Singapore after a weekend of sun!

Hopefully we can see F1 held in Singapore in 2008 with the night street race !!!~
