Last weekend was 2 full days of fun and relaxation..
K and I woke up at 530am on Saturday to go Johor for some go-karting. There was a new track circuit (the old Permas track had shifted) so we wanted to check it out. K organized the whole thing and managed to get about 20 people to turn up. We were supposed to meet up at the Woodlands check point at 630am, but ended up everybody was late. We waited about 30 minutes for this one last car, before we decided to head to the circuit first, leaving 2 other cars (friends of friends we didn't really know) behind.
The ride into the new circuit was horrible.. there was no proper road at all, just a narrow pathetic path of sand and gravel.. Only a proper 4-wheel drive can survive the ride! I was in EK's car, and i think his Swift had the lowest suspension in the convoy, cause there were plenty of bumps and i think he got quite a few scatches on the bottom of his car. The new track is much bigger than the old Permas one, but less technical.. I went for only one round under the super hot sun. Didn't really dare to go too fast cause it was a new track, and there was this super steep slope that ends in a bending turn. I was so afraid i will spin out! K and the rest of the guys went for 3 rounds; they even took their lap timings.. And my hubby got the best timing!! = ) so proud of him. But as the saying goes: "No pain, no gain." As usual, our dear old "Gungho" K goes all out when he plays, so during the race, he spun out a couple of times, and then ramped into the tyre perimeter and bruised his waist. Luckily he didn't sprain or broke anything..
After the guys had enough of go-karting, we headed for lunch at my favourite Bak Kut Teh at Taman Sentosa. I had been looking forward to this the whole week! Loved the bak kut teh at this stall. Lotsa ingredients, and very delicious herb-tasting brown soup! The group split up after that. 2 cars went to GIANT supermarket for some grocery shopping, and i brought like 4 rows of Vitagen, cornflakes and shower gel. Wanted to buy some soyabean milk for my cornflakes, but couldn't find any. Can you believe it? No soyabean milk in the whole freaking GIANT! So much for calling themselves "GIANT"!
We headed home after that. Traffic was so smooth that we were not used to it. Upon reaching home, K and I packed some clothes and toiletries and headed straight to Sheraton Towers for our complimentary one night Wedding Anniversary stay and dinner for 2... = )
