Potpourri of my life: Wee Hour after Merdeka Race..

It is 0025H, Monday now. Ever wonder why I still awake and write this? I am going to message my colleague tomorrow early morning to inform him that I am taking a half day emergency leave.
Yesterday (Sunday) is a tiring day for me. It's been quite long I never sleep so long - more than 10 hours. I came back from Merdeka Millenium Endurance Race (MME) around 2.30am in the morning. It was exciting but tiring.
On Saturday, after getting those essential Nikon lens for shooting MME, I quickly departed from my house and pick another friend up at Putra Permai. After picking him up, we headed towards Taman Desa to get our 'Pit Crew' pass for MME. We were representing Maximus Racing (Toyota SEG 4AGE) Team.
Our initial plan was to go straight to Sepang International Circuit (SIC). After asking them, three of us still have not eaten anything. Our stomach are empty. So we decided to stop over at McDonalds before entering Sg. Besi PLUS Tol. I had a large Spicy Beef Foldover meal and it is enough to last till tonight race.
We arrived at the Paddock Entry, SIC at 6.00pm. The parking was quite expensive, it cost us RM10 for the parking. Forget about it, just pay and get my car parked at the designated idea. It takes me some time to get my self prepared - my camera, my water bottle, my tripod and last but not least my shoe.
When we walked into the pit lane, the atmosphere were busy and the pit crew were busy preparing their race machine for the 12 hour endurance race. We manage to get the schedule for the event and got to know that the endurance race only start at 12.05am midnight. There are more than 5 hours to spend at the pit before the race start. I nicely took out my beloved camera and try some shot on Team Honda Civic MME. The pit is unusually busy and filled with the noise of engine revving. I tried to compose and get some shot on the atmosphere of the pit lane where all the team busy preparing their race machine.

As promised, here are some of the photo taken during Merdeka Millenium Endurance Race 2006 at Sepang International Circuit. The endurance race got heated up when it rain in the middle of night and the competition became tougher.
