KL Race II

Helllllo! Am back from KL Race II trip!!

Setting off on Saturday morning... Straight drive to KL. Reach bout 1pm. Cant find Putra Hotel!! Driving round and round, we decided to give up on tt hotel that other racer recommend and look for our other hotel. All the hotel looks so old. Suddenly 1 hotel looks pretty good. It's the Pacific Hotel. 3years back, its Pan Pacific but due to the change of management, its call Seri Pacific Hotel. Still a 5 star hotel, costing RM350/night. Quite reasonable. Room was spacious, nice designed and most important, THE BED AINT HARD!! THe Previous trip bed was hard. Pillow was hard to sleep. This is good! Checked-in, leave everything to the bell-boy and off for lunch. Am freaking hungry!! Went to The Mall opp. the hotel for chicken rice! Nice! But the service was BAD!!

After the lunch, walking ard, head down to the racing place. Raining cats and dogs, we hide in the shelter. Lotsa other competition! It's KL National Day. And Mon, is their public holiday. Other than boat race, there were pocketbike, Eng chess, Chinese Chess comeptition. Activities such as flying fox and selling of foods, hobbies, books. Its all there! Doing a trial for our boat. It runs really fast! But... hard to control. -.- Bi was the racer. Not me this time. Went back hotel, shower, head down to Twin Tower for shopping. It's like Singapore Paragon or Taka. All the branded bag and stuff. Food and clothing there are super ex! Bought a few clothes.

Dinner Time....

Dinner at The Ship Resturant again! The escargot taste so much different from Singapore and of cuz, the service is also different. To my surprise, KL resturant services were so much better than Singapore! After all the shopping and walking ard, we head back to hotel. I dun mind going back to hotel earlier, bcuz thats really a comfortable room!!! Sitting on my bed watching HBO and animal planet, while Bi repair his boat for the next day race.

The Race Day...

Woke up at 6.30am, showered and had our breakfast in the hotel. Checked-out and off to the race site. Carpark all full!! VVIP reserved most of the parking lot. The president of M'sia was there. Lotsa activites and performance going on. Got our place to put our boat. Time for another trial run. The starter spoiled!! -.- My day was ruined! I wanted to see how well this boat can run and will it win?? Bi gave up repairing, not matter how I plead him to do it! Give up!! Hands-on! I repair myself! My team guy came and help too. KL news reporter film while we do the repairing. Hahhaa!! After all was well, I asked to changed the race name to my name!! Bi allow me to race since I repaired the boat. YES!! My turn to race!!! Climbing up to the driver stand, all the cheering starts! Woooo!! So proud!

READY! START YOUR ENGINE....

My boat was the last to start. Problem with the starter. Running off last, I came to 2nd last. And..... My boat flipped. Thats it! End of the race!! -.- Its ok! Another race in June, at Ipoh. That'll be an Asia race. I'll be joining in most classes.

After the race, head straight back to Sing. Woooo... Dead tired. I slept all the way back to Sing. Reaching at 1am. All I do was shower, dry hair and Zzzz!! Damnnn sleepy.
