A panning photo below; taken while collecting my ticket in the afternoon. Didn’t spend much time there, the real show only happens in the next two days…

Beside the super cars and Japanese race queens, the organiser is running a lot more extra activities this year to pull the crowd, such as drift demo, rave party and autograph sessions etc.

Should be an entertaining weekend ahead; hope that the summer heat won’t be too unbearable.

Super GT Sepang 2008 – pre parade from YeinJee's Asian Journal

Taking lesson from last year’s Avril Lavigne’s concert which was almost cancelled because her show was deemed too sexy for Malaysian culture (and the fact that Avril is like an angel to Rihanna’s sexiness), the organiser of Rihanna’s concert is fast to act on the issue before the protests from conservative religious groups could heat up.

Rihanna’s KL concert, which is part of the Good Girl Gone Bad world tour, will be held at Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil, on Feb 13. Refer to the above poster for ticketing details.

Update – The concert is postponed following reports that she was assaulted by her boyfriend Chris Brown.

Avril’s Malaysia concert promotional poster

I used to like Avril a lot; if she was to have a concert here a couple of years ago I won’t hesitate to get a VIP ticket for the show… but now, I am not sure. Hmmm got to think fast, considering her popularity here (and some neighbouring countries), the nice seats could be sold out pretty soon.

Avril’s world tour will kick start on August 1st in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; the KL concert will be her first stop in Asia. Other Asian countries that are part of the tour include Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China [check schedule]

There are 11 concerts in Japan, more than USA and Canada combined (10)… never knew that she is that popular in the land of the rising sun.

Super GT Sepang 2008 – day 2 from YeinJee's Asian Journal

Today was practise session for the racers… and some practises for me too. It’s a bit challenging for a n00b to take photos of these fast moving vehicles; below are some of the better shots with plenty of rooms for improvements…

Super GT Sepang 2008 – practise from YeinJee's Asian Journal

I was expecting more exotic cars, but most of the engines were common models that could be found in normal show rooms… so it’s a bit disappointing in that sense; or perhaps I was asking too much instead.

Another main attraction for KLIMS was the showgirls; lots of the guys were obviously going for the models instead of the automobiles… and I guess most of them would be pretty happy with the visit.
