It was one of those days when nothing could go right. We had to change our hotels (already pre-planned) & checked into Claremont, not far from Albert Court. But the hotel sucked.

I got up at 6:30AM, though still wanting to sleep, but on the other hand not wanting to miss the Petronas bus to the circuit at 8:30AM. For those of you wondering it takes me 2hrs to get ready , allow me to clarify. The alarm was set for 6:30AM; by the time I finally got up it was 7AM. Arunav wanted to be woken up by 7:20AM. By the time we left our hotel room for the Lounge for our Breakfast it was 8AM. After a quick breakfast, we went to the entrance of the Petronas Twin Towers, our drop-off point for the previous day. Our legs were damn tired, since we barely rested. I guess only around 5hrs ... read more
