I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd, you're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud.

Omg a very very overdue post! I completely forgot about it until well, till I was looking around my albums and remembered that I haven't posted anything about this on my blog.

Two weeks ago, I got the chance to work along the people who organized the Japan Super GT race in Malaysia, which was obviously held in the F1 Circuit in Sepang. Worked as the Japanese translator/interpreter for the entire event which lasted for 3 days.

Day 1: Race Practice

My uniform!



The awesome view of the track from the HQ office.

Needless to say, it was easy to acquire a good view of the entire race without the need to join the hassle in the crowd at the Grandstand with food and chilled drinks :)

The Media Center, where all the media people are stationed at.



Practicing.

Day 2: Qualifying Race

Started the morning by helping abit here and there since I was rather free.

Meet Galvin, who was kind enough to walk around the entire place with me to paste these soft boards.

I swear, the place is huge. I'm pretty sure those who have actually been to the Sepang race track would know how far of a walk the entire place is - and this includes the Paddock area. Crazy walk.

A rather cmi picture of us but yeah.

Galvin and I sabo-ed a buggy and went around driving it, which saved so much of walking for us! As jackoon as it might sound, it was my first time driving a buggy. It felt like driving a bumper car, really. And since then, we've been driving that buggy for 2 consecutive days till we got so sick of it we'd rather walk (wtf).

For some reasons, this reminds me of Fast & Furious haha.

One of the cars in the car show. There were so many cars ranging from your usual Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, Vespa, Harley's, to even Rolls Royce (I felt like a low life, really).

Met Yvonne who was also working there. It's been so long since I've last seen her!

(Excuse my cmi face please. It's the FHM GND last year, you can't blame me for looking ugly next to her)



This, is a small part of the ultimate long queue waiting to enter for the pitwalk.

Here's a little anal thing I'd like to share. Galvin and I were so bored we decided to piss people off by just walking in while everyone else was still waiting. Just because we had the all access pass which enabled us to enter wherever and whenever we want. What asses we were seriously (lol).

Day 3: The Actual Race

Clearly, this is the real deal but by this time, our ears were half deaf already for obvious reasons. My left eardrum was literally hurting on the third/last day already.

This, is something I found really cool.

Before the race started, there was a gathering of super cars for the Malaysian Book of Records and it reached a total number of 405 super cars on the track. I have never ever seen so many super cars all gathered in one place in the past 20 over years of my life - and man, it was bloody awesome even for a non-car person like me.

One of the snapshots taken from the track during the gathering (all thanks to the access pass nonetheless).



The deafening race.



Meet Ayami, the Japanese GT Queen who I was suppose to be doing translating for also.

She is super super cute omg! Haha now I sound like one of those fangirls. And please excuse my cmi face yet again.



The Smelly came to visit too! :D

Fortunately, I managed to catch the very beautiful sunset in Sepang right when the entire event ended. I felt so lucky at that moment.

Yeap, that concluded my entire weekend back then. The whole routine of waking up at 5am (on a bloody weekend!) and only sleeping around 12am for three consecutive days. Not complaining though. It was a great experience anyone could have at this age and I'm happy that I managed to be exposed to events as such. It's really different from attending the race for the fun of it.

And lastly, a vain self pic to conclude the post :)

Hee!

All the things I knew right now, if only I knew back then.

Our long awaited Malacca trip!

Fortunately the weather yesterday was just nice. Not too hot (definitely not talking about temperature-wise) and it wasn't raining! What I meant by "not too hot" was that the sun was not glaring crazily down at us.

In the backseat with ChingMun

Why wasn't Jia Xin in the picture? She was busy camwhoring ALONE. Bloody vainpot.

Okay, a badly taken pic of us (after she was done taken vain pics of herself).

Can't blame me, the car was moving and thus the hand shaking!

Okay, a better shot.

Not long later, we reached Malacca. The journey there felt rather short. Or maybe, we were just talking too much haha. And that was how the theory of us three being like minions came out :(

All of us were pretty much starving. So our first stop was definitely FOOD! So we decided to drive to Jonker's Street for the famous chicken rice balls. We ordered roasted chicken, kampung chicken, roasted duck, siu yuk, otak-otak, rice balls and yam rice balls. Seriously, yam rice balls? Wtf. Sorry, I'm not exactly a yam lover.

Our fooooooddddd.

After our replenishing of energy, we went walking around Jonker's since we were there already. Actually, it was my first time walking around that street during the day time cuz for the past few times I've been there, it's during the times when the night market is open.

A rather scary picture hahaha.



Three of us in Jonker's. With the three keh leh feh's at the back.

The guys entered shops after shops and seriously, it felt more like they were shopping instead. Out of nowhere, Sean bought something which got all of us hyped up for a moment. You know, those things that comes in a small miniature tube? Then you squeeze them out, put it on a stick and when you blow, a bubble like balloon-ish thingy comes out?

Gah. It's so hard to explain it in words and as I remember, we never had a name for those things :(

There, those bubble like thingys. ChingMun looks so happy with them.

I doubt the younger people know about this cuz I think the kids nowadays hardly play with fun things like these anymore. Kids nowadays watch Hannah Montana and listen to Justin Bieber. Ugh.

We spent so long playing with that and Ching Mun failing badly in trying to blow one because everything she attempts to blow one, either one of the boys would smash it for her. Poor pepejal *inside joke*

Sei Jee King so tall I had to tip toe.



My victim while waiting for our durian cendol to come.



Ching Mun very happy with her durian cendol.

Then we drove back to Christ Church cuz Smelly said he wanted to look at reptiles. Those horrible shit which once again, scared the life out of me. You know, the huge yellow and white snake, the fatass python and the ugly iguana on the trishaw in front of the church? Yeah, those ugly things.

After that we walked to Menara Taming Sari. And that was how the story of Smelly having a pussy started... Sigh sounds obscene huh? Not.

Us persuading Smelly to the ride.

The boys in the ride going 33 floors upwards.



Jee King acting cool.



Wondering what everyone is looking at downwards??



Yeah, some pussy too small that we can't even see clearly.



A closer look at the pussy.

Yes, it was Aaron. He was the only one who didn't go on the ride for obvious reasons. After coming off the ride, we walked up the multiple staircases to Fort A Famosa.

On the way to the fort.

Spot me trying to seek some attention behind on the left haha.

Us three again :D



Act cute wtf.



Some gay action (look right) and some poser action (look middle).

By then it was already 5 something and we decided to head towards the Maritime Museum but unfortunately (fortunate for Jia Xin), it was closed already.

Failed notice outside the museum

So we decided to hunt for food again! Walked an effing far distance to Tan Kim Hock to buy food home and walked another crazy distance for satay celup.

Lost people.

All of us waiting by Tan Kim Hock while Jia Xin calls her long lost friend to find out where the famous satay celup shop is.

After a loooonnnng walk and complicated directions, we finally reached the shop. Just to find out that it was CLOSED FOR THE DAY. Damn. We gave up, walked to the car and decided to drive searching for satay celup instead.

While searching for satay celup. Pepejal quite cute here.

Finally, we reached another place, also famous for their satay celup's. I forgot the name of the place in English but I know it's called 万里香 in Chinese. It was freaking cheap. Like, RM 0.50 for one stick and some for RM 0.60?? Omfg cheap. We ate so much till we couldn't eat anymore and it only summed up to about RM 10 for each person inclusive of drinks.

And when I said we said so much, I literally meant, a lot.

Try counting the number of sticks and multiply it by 2.

This was just the left side of the tray cuz well, my camera screen cracked so I couldn't really see what I was snapping. So this failed picture of half a tray came out. So imagine this left side of the tray, plus a right side of the tray with equally as many sticks. All just for us girls (and Smelly took a few sticks). We came back with the tray and the guys were all in shock, saying we'll never finish it.

We proved them wrong of course :D

Yeap, so that was roughly how our Malacca trip went. It was ton loads of awesome funnn!! We definitely need another trip somewhere like that again, for sure :)

I'm sick of all the insincere, so I'm gonna give all my secrets away.

Our Genting trip! All of us were so worried that we won't be able to wake up early morning that day. And well, we kinda erm, called each other up to make sure we weren't the only ones wearing sport shoes haha. (Sorry, we hardly wear them and it really does feel weird wearing them).

Our theory went something like this: We insisted on wearing shorts, so our legs would definitely be exposed to the cold. So we couldn't bear wearing sandals, we had to at least keep our toes warm. Lame, but yeah.

But it failed. Our (CM's and mine) toes were completely soaked after we went on this ride.

Apparently we were like two pink caterpillars wtf.

We were busy ducking from the splash, but little did we know that when the log thing tilted, the water accumulated inside it flooded our feet big time.

Waited for 45 minutes just for this ride due to some inconsiderate idiots who never thought for their own safety, ugh.

Oh, before we left for Genting and while waiting for our bus schedule (yes we decided to take the bus cuz I initially wanted to take the cable car) - wait, speaking of cable cars... Sigh. That was another failed story of mine. Yes, while waiting, we decided to grab some food and play what we always did best for the past few days/weeks.

See that scheming face of CM's?

Yeah, it was Monopoly Deal. The new game (relatively) which we all got addicted to.

My awesome hands.

You see that? Only one more effing card and I would have won the game. CM and I had a Deal Breaker each (there are only two in a deck. It's a card you use to steal your opponent's full set to complete your own set of cards), and we were both ALMOST winning. Or rather, we were just waiting for our turn to come so we could game. Till that bloody ccb bitch Smelly won without any power cards. Tantrum shit.

Us waiting in line for the Pirate Ship.

I so remember the crying girl hahaha! And Jia Xin you bitch. Your bag almost got all of us killed. I'll remember that for life.

While the two losers were waiting in line for their roller coaster ride.

Waited for half an hour and just a 30 seconds ride. Tsk tsk. Seriously, why is it still so crowded despite it being a freaking Monday?? Don't people have to work and go to school? Deng.

Oh yeah, my failed stories. My raison d'être (reason for being) for actually going all the way to Genting was completely defied. Firstly, I left KL, very looking forward to my cable car ride there. To my horror, the bus driver drove us all the way up and I later found out that the cable car was closed. Like, effing closed. Homaigod.

Then as we entered the theme park, there was a big fat sign saying that the swing ride was closed for the day. You know, the one which spins you around in a swing and goes crazy high just after the entrance? Yeah, that. So, what now? Only the carousel is available?? Sigh, why oh why must Genting do this to me?

Oh well, let's hope the satay celup shops won't decide to go on a holiday and the sky doesn't decide to rain while I'm walking around in Jonkers' Street next week in Malacca. Touchwood.

The club can't even handle me right now.

My apologies for the lack of updates, or rather - lack of pictures recently. I've been out so often that I don't even have the time to actually sit down and think of what to blog about. Okay, I was just lazy or too tired to blog.

Okay, as most of you already know it was Flo baby's return to KL again, just for the weekend (like, two weeks ago?).

:)

And well, just few days ago, we had one of our most awesome night out together, like finally. Try imagining a simple yam char session which ended up being a partying night. Yes, we only wore our normal tops, shorts for some, flats and as for me, my roxy sandals. Oh, and not forgetting CM's long dress which reached till her ankle. And our very, very minimal makeup which have already been smudged/faded horribly through the day.

Nothing can beat the randomness of this night. Oh and the erm, stupidity. Thank god the album could only be accessed by the four of us. Otherwise, I think I should really start digging a hole and bury myself there.

Our group pic!!
Sigh I love these lovelies.

Haha Xin looks cute here!

Lesson learnt: Never ever, as in, NEVER dance next to Chingy. Let's just say... she selectively has very bad balancing skills. If you get what I mean. Else, you might risk having your erm, lower bodily part injured. It's either you get terribly injured that way, or the people next to you would glare at you angrily due to the constant banging into people.

I wonder when's the next time we'll ever ever have a night like this again, with everyone leaving the country already :(

Got home at 3.30am and finally managed to sleep at 5am. A few hours later, all of us met up (again) for lunch with LiHong the Donkey at Rakuzen @Plaza Damas before she flies off again. We were so lucky to have the whole room to ourselves, cuz we were so L-O-U-D. All the laughing and shouting. Sigh, sometimes, I miss those days when we were back in school :)

Chingy, being extremely happy that it was her last day of work, insisted that she had to get back to work cuz she was already 1 hour late. Eventually, this happened on the way back to work:

Smelly: Eh, wind down the windows so that it seems more real. Like we're stranded by the side of the road.

Chingy: *winds down window and dials number*Hello? I don't think I can make it back to work cuz kawan saya ada accident. I was on my way back to work (bullshit) but suddenly ada kereta then BAMMM. Kawan saya sangat takut. I'm sorry...

HAHAHA! She literally spoke that way, with Malay and English all jumbled up together and I swear, she ended it with kawan saya sangat takut and I don't know why she added it. I think it was for dramatic purposes (wtf). So what for?

To play Monopoly Deal in LiHong's house.

-___________________-

It was fun though. Watching how all of LiHong's property got swiped off the table by JX just like that. And all of us trying desperately to convince JX to take another's property instead of our ownselves'.

Only the bunch of us could come up with nonsense like that I guess. Only when we're together, right darlings? :)

Shake me till you wake me from this bad dream.

The story of how I almost died a couple of nights ago:

It all started with the BBQ night on Saturday. Sorry, as you all have already known, my camera screen cracked so this was one of the better shots I managed to find. Mind the two of them behind covering their faces. Oh, and this reminded me of an inside joke that me and CM thought of at the same time.

"It's like when those clubs got raid. Then they catch those people and they appear on tv covering their faces."

HAHAHA joker.

My darlings, all together :)

Awesome awesome night ♥ ♥
