Alright. Long long post. My 2nd time to Sepang F1 Circuit.

On sunday I had to wake up at 6am to fill my car with people before we could head to Sepang. Grace was near my place, Ju yau was in ampang, Yoong Kiat was in Sunway, while Yvonne is in Klang.. It was a loooooooooong drive from my place to Ampang > Sunway > Klang > Sepang. Nearly about 2 hours spent on driving.. Best thing was Ju yau left his wallet. Luckily we’re still near his house when he realised it.

We arrived Sepang around 10am, missing the first support race but in time for the Sprint Race. Parking was RM5. Not RM50 like someone previously said.

Tickets went to the ticket collectors, while my water bottle was still with me.

PS: Tze lun, u gotta know how to keep your water bottle

We sat here, Diamond area:

Just over looking the Start/Finish Line and the Malaysian Pit Garage.

So what’s the difference between A1 and F1? A1 cars are standard throughout the teams while F1 are not. Which means, F1 cars are built to break the speed limit, the faster the better. While A1 are highly dependant on driver skills. A1 has qualify race, sprint race and feature race in it, while F1 is just qualify then race.

Views from my cam:

 

The Sprint race starts exactly at 11am. I couldn’t get good shots because I thought my cam was slow, till i figured out how to use the sport mode. =.=

Anyways, the Sprint race started with a rolling start (is that grammartically correct?) as captured in this video

The sound was deafening.. Luckily i came prepared.

As everyone knows, Alex started 7th and finished 4th.

While everyone had their expensive cameras, accessories, tripods, huge a$$ lenses.. I had my phone to accompany me. At least the shots i took wasn’t that bad.

That’s Yoong Kiat with his Columbus (Olympus) dSLR.

Konon Never Miss A Shot. It’s obvious i missed a shot here.. the guy waving the chequered flag while the car is missing.. =.=

After the Sprint race, everyone left me, Yvonne, Ray, Tai Yin and Yoong Kiat alone to take care of belongings.. In the end duno took how long to came back. But we got to watch a Formula BMW Support Race

I pity those fellas sitting in the sun. No girls and they had to hold their own umbrella.. Hahha..

After the race, there was a sakai dance just before the big event…

We had some time to get some food before the race started.. So we head over to a Burger King stall..

Then JJ said to us, "Uh Oh, I guess we have about 15 minutes".

5 minutes later, it RAINED!

JJ ran like a girlhorse back to the grandstand to get some umbrella..

I met my primary/high schoolmate (in red) as well.. but he and his friends weren’t as lucky as i am.. They had to subtitute to queue up.

  

The girls with the pink umbrella refused to gave them some shelter.. Poor guys.

Unfortunately for us, we missed the practise runs by the A1 teams while queuing up.

Malaysia team is in yellow as usual.. Starting 4th on the grid.

There was a 10 minutes delay due to the heavy rain.. So we had to wait a little longer before the race started..

There’s a few Malay girls sitting a few places from us who couldn’t understand the word patience. It’s obvious they couldn’t understand the meaning of "Race delayed due to heavy rain". Remaja hari ini semakin dungu nampaknya..

Race started with a safety car infront for about 7 laps..

Look at the guy waving the yellow flags! Respect!

  

 

 

Alex dropped from 4th to 8th right after the safety car exitted the track.. Most probably due to the weather..

The worst happened when Alex pitted.

The right wheel didn’t come out so it took him loonger to exit the pits.. He left the pits at 15th position..

But with the fresh tires, he was able to finish the race in 7th position

My battery died just after this photo was taken. Cons of having a cameraphone.. Can’t change batteries like a normal camera.

That concludes the A1 GP race.

Before that, there’s this helicopter who’s daring enough to pose for the camera:

 

Because of the rain.. there wasn’t much girls to snap.. So i snap this girls instead:

The one on the left prettier than the right.

I couldn’t resist myself not to take one with her..

Hahaha…

Anyways, on the way back 2 things happened to me..

Firstly, i got to charge my phone in the car, so i was able to get a few more photos before leaving Sepang.. Guess what i saw!

A plane about to hit into a building! Dun believe?!

Nah nah.. See clear clear! No photoshop wan!

Actually the building is a lamp post.. Kekekeke…

Secondly, I got smoked by a Pagani Zonda on the road.

That concludes my coverage of the Astro A1 GP Sepang.

PS: My panorama pics didn’t came out nice.. so got none for this trip. Some pictures are credited to Rays. Else pics are from the k800i on Auto mode, Sports mode, the ever lousy digital zoom =.=, and also Best Pic mode. Pics are in cronological order.

A new plugin called Extended Live Archives. Click here to view it.

Seems like the upcoming Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars will have 3 factions like in Command & Conquer Generals..

Got this from my mail from EA. I’m a long time fan of C&C since Red Alert 1. So i get alot of news of upcoming games from them.

Filler post

Just recieved a SMS from APIIT that our results is released on Friday 1st Dec after 2pm.. Why are they doing this to us?!

Earl-ku asked me how did i do it. So here goes.

Firstly i used If..elseif..else statements

<?php
 if (get_the_time(’G') >= 0 && get_the_time(’G') <= 2)
  $str_time = "Should be sleeping by now";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') >= 3 && get_the_time(’G') <= 6)
  $str_time = "Darn early in the morning";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') >= 7 && get_the_time(’G') <= 9)
  $str_time = "There’s the sun!";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') >= 10 && get_the_time(’G') <= 11)
  $str_time = "Just before noon";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') == 12)
  $str_time = "Lunch time";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') >= 13 && get_the_time(’G') <= 16)
  $str_time = "Just after noon";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') >= 17 && get_the_time(’G') <= 19)
  $str_time = "Sun is setting";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') >= 20 && get_the_time(’G') <= 21)
  $str_time = "Prime Time Telecast";
 elseif (get_the_time(’G') >= 22 && get_the_time(’G') <= 23)
  $str_time = "Just before bed time";
 else
  $str_time = "Should be sleeping";
?>

Simple isn’t it?

get_the_time(’G') will retrieve the Hour (in 24 hour format) of the post and is evaluated. $str_time is the variable i used to store the time string and it is inserted within The Loop.

You can use switch statements if you want to. An example:

<?php
 switch(get_the_time(’G'))
 {
  case 1: $str_time = "it is 1am"
  case 2: $str_time = "it is 2am and you’re supposed to sleep"
  …
  case n: $str_time = "some string"
  default: $str_time = "insert your default statement here if your post time happens to be at hour 25"
 }
?>

PS: This only works for Wordpress. and you may need to know a little bit on PHP programming. No biggie.

PSS: I just realised this is my first post on programming.

Where to eat after A1GP? Bak kut teh in Klang or Steamboat in Sunway?
