When they say you'll have no social life, they really mean it! I haven't had the time to hang out with anyone off late, including my family. And popping by my blog, I've realized that I've gone a whole month without updating, which isn't surprising seeing as how the days are stacked up.

Was feeling pretty burned out by last Sunday, and had to indulge in some leisurely activity somehow, but had an assignment in Melaka to go to. So I thought, why not –I'll do both pleasure and work and take photographs while on assignment.

So here are the pictures from last Sunday's PETRONAS F1 Demo in Melaka, which was held to bring people closer to Formula One while promoting the Petronas brand to the discerning public. The demo of course involved all motorsport vehicles that PETRONAS is involved in.



The Formula One vehicle itself is a whole lot larger up close. I distinctively remembered it being smaller, but this is no smalley. The curves are to die for and there are so many “fins” (you can tell that I’m a moron at F1) that you forget what does what and when.



Then there are the magnificent tires which are, if anything, one of the most important components of all. It translates power from the engine to the road and will turn sticky at hot temperatures, giving maximum grip on corners and straights.


Young and old are seen here flapping for dear life as the cars go whizzing by. My arms grew tired watching the vigorousness of some of those waves.


And if anything, the event appealed most to young children who stood amongst adults in the searing heat hoping to catch a glimpse of the vehicles.

More than half however are now deaf because no one remembered to warn them of the booming roar of the cars.


These are the BMW Formula vehicles that are a whole lot less powerful than their F1 brothers, but it still goes from naught to 100 in 3.6 seconds (go ahead, pick that jaw up from the floor).


I love the curves and width of BMW cars. Such grace…such grandeur…SuchAPityItIsn’tMine *sobs*.

They also had, right in front of me, the Pit Stop preview, where the crew members from the pit demonstrate just how the big boys change them wheels.




The heat was unforgiving and I came home feeling like a radiator. My skin sizzles with a burning sensation every time I twitch and glows bright amber red.


But for something that was free to the public, it definitely is worth watching. The sounds gurgling from these vehicles are something to behold. And from then on all other vehicles will sound like a tame lil putty cat (The image above by the way is of the same car, but I overlay them over each other)

Anyhow, will be posting more in days to come. I do apologize for the unofficial hiatus, but work calls and I follow.

Lastly…

Can anyone provide captions? ;) Interesting captions wins the honourable pleasure of buying me dinner :D Hurrah!
