PIXUS goes to Sepang

It's 5.45am on Sunday, 8th April 2007 and PIXUS is wide awake, sitting on a coach, waiting to travel 5 hours to Sepang, Malaysia to catch her first ever Formula One Car Racing!!!!!!!!
Ferrari, Mercedes, Honda, Renault, BMW, and many more fast cars and world class racers like Alonso, Kimi, Massa, Heidfeld, Coulthard and many more... can't wait to get there!!!

This is the ticket!

After about 4.5 hours on the bus with only one stop at Yong Peng, we're finally near Sepang Race circuit. But there's a huge jam!

We are finally here! This is the "Welcome Area" where there are lots of merchandise sold and there are lots of people here even though the race is another 4 - 5 hours away.

After Ms Chin bought a 150 ringgit Ferrari top, we decide to go book good seats. We are sitting at C2 (covered hillstand area).

Check out the circuit! So exciting!!! Can't wait to see the cars!

While I was sleeping, Ms Chin had PinKii for company.

After 2 - 3 hours of waiting in the sweltering sun, we finally hear the deafening engines of the F1 cars. This is the warm up round. See the Ferrari??? Ms Chin is a die hard fan of Kimi. Wherever Kimi goes, she will support the team, so Ms Chin is a Ferrari supporter. As for me, I have no particular preference. I just like the sport :) Although I would say Red is one of my fav colours...hehehe

Anyway, The qualifying results has Massa at pole position, following Alonso then Kimi.

Although the race only lasted for 2 hours and the journey here and back took 16 hours.... it was WORTH it. It's definitely one of the most memorable roadtrip for the 2 of us. Selamat tinggal Sepang, we will be back!

PIXUS finally knows Small Bear Bear's name

It's confirmed... Small Bear Bear is called Huang2 Yang2 Zu4 aka Ng Yong Joon. My bro says his dialet name sounds like the Korean hearthrob Mr Bae Yong Joon. Hopefully he'll be as charismatic as Mr Bae when he grows up... hehehe.

Joon Joon met Mr Eeyore...

PIXUS goes to AMKsian Family Day 2007

31st March was the date of AMKsian Family Day 2007.... the biannual event of AMKSS. We held the event at Siloso Beach, Sentosa.

This year, we had a celebrity guest star at our event and it was none other than Mr Allan Wu, host of the Amazing Race Asia. He took part in the aquathlon and came in second.

Many 4Aers asked me where I was at the event... well most of the time, I was either with the UCTC (Under Coconut Tree Club) or I was distributing balloons... hahaha

The guy here was the Chairman of the UCTC and the rest are the other members.
