most of us must have probably known that this is the weekend for racing in malaysia. wif the coming of the grand prix to sepang international circuit. it is only the 2nd race of the season, and petronas malaysia is the proud organiser for the 2nd leg. all these time, i never really pay attention to any motorsports be it f1, motogp, gt or any exhibition involving vehicles of any kind. partly due to me not a car addict anymore. not like during the time i was driving mini. i think the passion for motorsport has gone wif the wind, after the car was sold off.

so during the fateful sunday, like any sunday, i was lazying around in bed, even around 1130am. that was when, my fren rang me up, and ask me to go out wif him. my 1st reaction was, later in the evening or at nite lah we go out together2. becos i dont really like going out under the hot sun. that was until he mentioned me about the free tickets to the grand prix.

immediately i got out of bed, and took a shower and get dressed for the event. i became really excited n looking forward to my maiden visit to the SIC. i think we hit the road n reach the subang airport toll ~115pm. evryting was smooth sailing, until we reach the exit of klia airport, which was ~40km after the toll. there were cars for as long as the road may take us all the way leading up to the circuit. the last time i went to klia, wif a distance ~70km, it took ~30 minutes. but not on that day. all the jam make us arrive quite late. heck even the walk to the circuit is a 40 minutes journey, since we didnt but any parking stickers.

so all in all we finaly reach the entrance ~330pm, a good 1/2 n hour after the race have kicked off. i dont know wat to expect from the event, but i was immediately taken aback by the noisy environment. even from a distance, we cud hear the engines of the f1 cars roaring. so u can imagine, sitting in the grandstand at ground level, very close proximity to the cars. the decibels created by the combination of the car’s engines n the drafting n the slipstreaming is truly out of this world.

i have never come this close to this much noise pollution. apart from the heavy noise, u can see people from all walks of life, foreigners n locals of different races n faces under 1 roof. they were either all full of passion or merely getting a free ticket like me n just wanna experience wat f1 is really all about.

so in the end, fernando alonso won the grand prix. he truly is a champion, even after switching teams, he remain true to himself. that is the hallmark of a champion. by overcoming all the obstacles in front of them, no matter small or big. we didnt truly enjoy the f1 experience, due to several factors, n hope that if time n god is willing, maybe next year ill make another visit, minus the hiccups.

-for wat ive done, i start again, n wateva pain may come, today this ends, im forgiving wat ive done…-
