Super GT International Series Malaysia – Sepang 2009

The Super GT series is back in Malaysia. The Sepang International Circuit will again host the popular Japan-based auto racing championship on June 19-21, 2009.

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…

Super GT Malaysia 2009

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.

Kin Shui Tei Japanese Restaurant, Tropicana, PJ

Somehow it took me years to make my maiden visit, which turned out to be one of the best Japanese meals I’ve ever had; guess it’s better late than never…

Klias Wetland, Sabah, Malaysia

Klias Wetland is a mangrove forest reserve in Sabah, famous for being the habitat of the endangered proboscis monkey (known for its big, long nose) that is endemic to the Borneo Island in South East Asia.

Klias Wetland was the first destination during our Kinabalu trip in March 2009; it was my second visit to the place (first in 2006). Sharing some photos below…
