Me, Myself, and I

Tuesday, 29 June 2010

About 2 weeks ago, my bf took me to the Scirocco Cup & Japan GT in Sepang International Circuit. Actually, no wait! Haha! To be correct, Eric took me to the Scirocco Cup & Japan GT. Haha! Cause he had the extra ticket. Not my bf. :P My bf was kinda there for work because he works on the VW account. Eric, on the other hand, managed to get the tickets because he recently just bought a Scirocco! Hehe.. :P

Quite exciting I have to say. Have never been to the Sepang International circuit before and have only seen those races on TV. So yea, something different. Overall? It was just loud and you probably see the cars drive past you for like 2 secs each lap. LOL!

Anyway, day started out be meeting up my house and we headed out to Sepang in 2 cars because Eric had to go somewhere after that. So we headed out - 45 mins drive to Sepang. As we were reaching, there were actually billboards to promote the Japan GT. I never knew that it was such a big thing. Haha! but you're talking to a car dummy here so can't say much :P


Anyway, after about another 10 minutes! We finally arrived!


I met up with Eric to pick up our tickets while my bf went off to park elsewhere because he wanted to get to another carpark which was nearer to the grand stands. He didn't know whether we would be allowed to get into the grand stand because he didn't know what tickets were going to be given out. Anyways, so after picking up the tickets, we just walked aimless inside and finally reached the circuit and actually managed to catch the start of the Scirocco Cup. Not knowing where to go, we stupidly went and sat in the heat at first! It was freakin' hot that day as well. We were so tempted to leave right after the Scirocco cup which was what we went to see. :P


After the race, I msged my bf to say what kind of tickets we had and only then, did we realise that we were allowed to go to the grand stand and the experience was much better! Haha! It was sooooo much cooler, they gave us freebies, and also there was food! I was starving because I haven't had lunch yet and if not mistaken, I went for a run that morning as well!

Anyways, after we managed to lug our half burst asses over to the grand stand, they actually opened up the pit for people to go see the cars (and girls). I would have loved to go but I was too busy cooling down from the heat and also wouldn't have wanted to fight with everyone down there.



Anyways, after that, we kinda went to check out the "garage" - the area where they kept all the cars when have finished their race. Don't think we were allowed to go there but knowing the "security" in Malaysia, nobody even stopped to ask who we were.

My company actually gave us a Thomas Sabo bracelet last year as a token of our efforts for the year. For those who do not know what Thomas Sabo is, it's a brand that originated from Germany and sells sterling silver accessories from bracelets, to necklaces, to watches, to handphone danglies, to charms. The one which I think they are more known for are their charms because they are quite cute and quirky. When they first arrived, I never knew what the fuss was all about but somehow I have succumbed to the brand and have the sudden need to fill up my bracelet with charms :P. Somehow, it actually gets quite addictive. The dude who came up with this idea was seriously a genius.

It all started when Chris' friends bought me those 2 extra charms to put on my bracelet for my birthday. I got excited and decided to get 2 more as a birthday present to myself to celebrate my coming of age of becoming a quarter century old. So, the extra 2 I got was the letter 'Y' to accompany my 'L' take came with the bracelet when my company gave it to us. And also a green 4 leaf clover for luck! So now, I have a total for 5 charms of my bracelet and I actually think my bracelet is getting quite nice! Hehe.. but they're not cheap. Each charm ranges from RM100 to about RM400 :( So the next one I can probably get is only during Christmas or something - no more splurging. For those who don't know what to get me next time *hint hint* *nudge nudge* LOL! Hehe..

Anyways, photos below for viewing pleasure.

Bumblebee is home! Wheeeee... For those who don't know, he got sent to the workshop like about 2 weeks ago because we met into and accident. Nothing major, so nobody panic! The story goes like this. My mum was driving me to work 1 morning and as we were reaching my office in Pusat Bandar Damansara, there was a slight jam (as usual). My mum's phone suddenly rang and she was kinda bending down to get her phone out of her bag which was at the bottom of the driver's seat. Both of us put our bags there now because we were told not to put it on the passenger seat because people might come and break your glass while driving if they see something there. Anyhow, so my mum was kinda struggling to get her phone and instead of pressing the brake when the car stopped in front of her, she accelerated! We hit a Volvo in front of us and the Volvo hit a truck in front of him.

Haha! Want to know what's funny? Let me show you what happened to bumblebee first and you can guess the extent the other dude's car got damaged.

Looks quite 'seong' rite? the whole front part kinda dented inside. The Volvo was nowhere near this 'seong' though! He had like a few scratches at the back and his worse part was we broke his brake lights! His front was quite bad though but that's only cause he banged into a lorry in front of him! If not, nothing would have been wrong! Haha! Volvo rocks! LOL! :P

Gonna keep this short and sweet because I actually have to try and finish up some work. So anyways, bf managed to score us some tickets to Knight and Day (review to come in different blog) in  e@thecurve. So after work, we headed over. Once we got to the parking lot, P1 was kinda full so he decided to go down to P2 instead. It was kinda empty - so yay! Can park anywhere he wanted (which was close to the entrance). So, he found a park he like and slot himself in. When we got down, he was looking back at the car funny and I was wondering what the hell he was looking at. I turned around and realised he parked at a NON parking lot! LOL! It was actually a LANE to get through the parking area. There was an ARROW underneath his car saying that users can either turn left or right. ROFL! Hahahaha!

The end.

A few weeks ago, while sitting in my bf's dining room and flipping through newspapers, I suddenly had a brilliant idea of going to Batu Caves. I thought since I've never been there before in my entire life and me and my bf are on a journey to lose weight, it'd be a good change to do something different! Plus, then at least I can tell my overseas friends that I've been there and I'm a true Malaysian. Or at least tell them what to expect when they ask me about it la... Haha! :P

So anyways, sent out a bunch of msges and managed to get a small group together to go. Got together earlier to get ourselves some McD breakfast and we were off! And since pictures says more than a thousand words, here are some for you guys below! :D

P/s: I'm just lazy to write.. :P

Sorry! Been MIA on my blog again. No internet at home really does not help. PLUS it's world cup! Haha! But honestly, haven't really been watching much. Kinda stuck in the middle because I'm neither happy in my house or bf's house. Cause when I'm home, I have a TV to watch in the room but because my internet isn't work, it's kinda not fun cause I'm an internet junkie. Whereas in my bf's place, got internet, but no TV to watch IN the room. So yea...

Anyways, teams I'm supporting this year? Japan, Argentina and Germany. However, after Germany's last match against Serbia, I'm really not sure nemore. :S Anyways, reasons as to why I chose those 3 teams? Japan because of my Asian pride. Argentina because I thought they played a really good game against South Korea, and Germany, because they trashed Australia and I couldn't be happier!

Don't get me wrong. I love the country. But when it comes to sports, they one freakin' sore loser country. The last game with Germany? Do you know what they are saying as to why the lost? They are blaming the freakin' balls! WTF! Everyone didn't get the a chance to practice as much as they would like. So, suck it up and admit defeat like men! Grrr! So angry! Crap, there was an article on smh.com.au which my brother manage to find but I can't find it now. They were whining about the Jabulani balls. Will try and get it from my brother and post it up on my next blog.

Till next blog. Laters and Happy World Cupping! =)
