Sepang Grand Prix

Long time no blog! Not that I've run out of topics but dear PC has been cranky of late, and, of course, laziness got the better of me. What have I been up to? Lots actually. There's too much to talk about if I were to start extracting my memory board from March 9th (last date of blog entry was the 8th) so I'll just pen down the best event thus far.

To start with, Hubby and I made our way to Sepang (KL) during the Labour Day weekend for our first Grand Prix race. It was a last minute decision and all it took was 2 nights of planning and off we went. The supposedly 5-hour journey with 1 stopover took close to 7 hours to complete, coupled with wet weather. I used to think my Sister was crazy to travel the distance but I will now officially take back my words because it was all worth the trouble. Yes, the hour long of travelling from hotel to Sepang is not what I would have enjoyed doing but the moment when you set foot in Sepang circuit nothing else matters, not even the sweltering hot weather or the grey skies could dampen thy spirits.


This is the closest we got to Lewis Hamilton - my favourite driver - when his car skidded during the qualifying round. I was disappointed he didn't make it through Q1 but his superb and opportunistic driving skills saw him racing from position 22 to 6 at the end of the race, notwithstanding pit stops. Call him a brat but he surely is God on the race circuit, just like how he did it at Shanghai GP last weekend.

What's next? I'm 3 days away from Seoul trip with Sister. I've put together a list of Seoul Eats from restaurants to tent food to street food and will try to devour as much as I can. If all fails, I will go back for more, this time with Hubby in tow. I will make sure to update my blog soonest.
