So we started our journey to Sepang International Circuit (SIC) just after 11 a.m. On the highway, most of the neighbouring cars were headed to the same destination. There was a massive jam till be reached the booths to purchase our parking stickers, that cost RM 50! We were suppose to be allocated the parking space just behind the grandstand, but NOooooo... we had to walk at least 1km! Not so bad I thought, since we got the tickets free. IF I had purchased those tickets, I would have caused a stir with the organisers! We park the car on muddy land and walk under very hot sun. By the time we reached the entrance of SIC, we were hot, tired and sweaty. Not good. But everyone around us looked the same. We walked around the murchandise stores and decided it was a little above our budgets to buy any off the selling items. So we decided to get to our seats... but not before security checks to ensure we do not bring in our own food and drinks.
e get to our seats (after seating at the wrong places twice!) My boyfriend went to get more drinks and came back with a satay set. I was so excited. Satay!! Yum yum .. he opened it, just to show me 8 sticks of satay, a little nasi impit, satay sauce and a packed jelly .. all worth RM 20! 2 cans of 100-plus for RM 10. I thank God again that I didnt purchase those tickets.
We left just as Ferrari won the race. We thought we'd avoid the crowd, but noooooooo everyone got up and left as well. We walked as fast as we could to avoid any unwanted jam as it was about to rain as well.
All in all, it was an experience we wont forget.. My boyfriend will remember the race, but I'll remember the RM 20 satay! ;)
