Road trip in Turbo
Before the sun rose for a brand new morning, we left Singapore for Sepang.. As usual, we were late for the convoy. What else is new? I woke up at 2.30am to bathe, Joel woke up at 2.45am to bathe. We were suppose to leave at 3am to meet the convoy at 4am in Petronas. In the end? We left home approx. 4am. *drum roll* Credits to Gavin.
After 2 years of Track Day absence, we're finally going back to Sepang! If you love roller coaster rides, this is one sport you should try..
This was Turbo's (Airtrek) virgin long distance trip.. And you know what? It was a breeze for Turbo throughout the journey. The distance travelled (close to 1000km), the consistence speed we're cruising and even going Genting was a breeze. The climb and descent was easy. The whole 1000km journey was bumpy but with the space given, it was a 8/10 ride.
Given that it was a dawn drive, we took the Turbo (Airtrek was a turbo) to a pace that we're comfortable with. After many smoking and toilet breaks, we reached Sepang at 9am, 2 hrs behind schedule. Oh well... :)
One of SgTrackies' main sponsors was Gavin's company. We took the opportunity to go have some fun and at the same time show some sponsor support. In fact, i think it's just another excuse of showing up at the event to make sure that there's work done after some monetary contributions. We didn't stay till the end, we left for KL shortly after noon. And for that, we missed the Lambhorgini Track Day which was right after Time Attack.. Darn!
On the way to KL, we were contemplating whether to go Genting to chill. After much deliberation, we left for Genting Highlands with some (precise) driving instructions given by the hotel staff.. After some very windy and good driving momentums, we reached Genting for some moist cool air. It was nice and cool, but not as cold as before (deforestation and global warming! Please do your part). Few hours later, me and Joel lost RM75, it wasn't alot but we had fun..
Trip back to KL was alrite, that was only until we were stuck at the most ridiculous jam along Concorde Hotel towards Jalan P Ramlee.. For a mere 1km distance, we were stuck for a good 45mins.. That's 2.7sec for every 1m! *eyes roll* When we got back to our rooms, we were all shagged from the jam. Every 1 of us concussed the moment our heads hit the pillows.
Next day, before we left KL for SIN, we had to go FOS at KL Plaza.. This is one shop you cannot missed! Good and cheap, it's our favourite shop.
This trip, I didn't buy much. No Famous Amos, no Vincci, no FOS.. Joel was the one who bought more than me. He bought 2 shirts for work, and his 2 pairs of full leather shoes? It's a mere S$145! And me? A miserable pair of sandals and some toiletries. :(
