So after lunch, Ange, Evelyn and myself made our way to Sepang. We were supposed to get a parking ticket after the toll. Guess the price of the Sepang F1 Circuit parking ticket. It was RM50 !!! FOR A PIECE OF STICKER !
Unfortunately, try as we may, we got stuck in the jam to the circuit and couldn't make it in time for the start of the Grand Prix. Just look at all the cars.
Well, we finally arrive around 3:20pm. With the RM50 parking ticket, all I get was to park at a used palm tree plantation area ! Don't even have nice tarred roads or marked parking spaces ! Anyway, my car had no gas, so the aircond wasn't working properly. It was HOT ! HOT HOT HOT ! Reaaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyy HOT ! And after parking the car, we still had to walk quite some way to reach the main entrance. Again, HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT !
Anyway, long story short, I finally managed to get into the main area. Nice ya. Of coz, I was probably losing as much water as the F1 drivers in their car, since I was literally oozing water from all pores. The noise was already becoming too loud to bear, so we had to wear the given ear plugs.
This is the entrance to the Grandstand. The noise was really deafening, especially when the F1 cars drive by. When they enter the pitstop, the noise is even worse.
That's the pit stop paddocks, and there's a Red Bull car getting ready to pit.
This handsome gwailo photographer is trying to capture a nice pic. Just look at the size of his lens !
These are some of the F1 cars that I managed to capture with my handphone camera. You think it's easy ? Most of the time, the pictures have no cars in them because they zoom by so darn fast ! Every 15 photos only get me ONE with a car in it ! 
These whole bunch of cameramen waited here to try and capture the photo of the Grand Prix winner, which was Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
One of the spectators bought this cute cow that can dance and it had a little Toyota flag. 
This is what the Turqoise Grandstand looks like.
That's the aircond area. Not sure whether meant for spectators or for their team members.
See how cute the supporters are ?
Going home was another nightmare. We were stuck in the darn carpark area for more than 30 minutes, because none of the cars were moving ! Yes, aircond still not working ! I almost fell asleep. The other two ? They were FAST ASLEEP !
Anyway, we reach home 2 house and 15 minutes later ! Hot, tired and sleepy. But all in all, it was a really interesting day. How many people get to sit in the F1 Grandstand ? So, to Ade,
