SY had gone to a fish spa a while back when Ben and Adeline were in town in KL.
I had been meaning to go myself but just haven't been able to find the time or people to go with!
Hang on, fish spa you ask? Yup, these places are mushrooming all over in Asia it seems. Basically you go to these places to get your (normally) feet, or if you're up for it, whole body cleaned up by the fishes. You dip yourself in the water and the feet will eat off your skin, removing the dead and unwanted skin leaving you nice and shiny fresh skin.
At least, that's what they say. The fishes are known as "Dr. Fish" and their sizes can be from an inch up until around 4 inches!
The process is simple. Wash your feet, grab a towel and head over to a spot you like/available and dip your feet/self in.
Easy!
Anyways here's SY with her feet dipped in the water.
I haven't been to a motorsport activity for a while, and I think I caught up with my cravings the last 2 weeks doing both an autocross and going to Sepang for a track day.
Of course, I was very very excited about joining these events leading up, and I really couldn't wait for the weekends to arrive. I had to get the car ready, serviced and all mechanically sound - as well as getting the sponsor stickers up on the car for the first event - GRA.
I joined GRA thinking it was similar to the motorkhana I did previously in Melbourne. I was pretty wrong.
Firstly, the event was so much higher speed compared to the motorkhana. It was almost impossible to reach third gear in the motorkhana, but just on the main straight at the beginning of the course here, before you know it I'm already in third gear.
The objective was simple, running through the same course to get the fastest time. We went through 6 sessions, so we took the total of the 3 fastest laps. There were also two main classes depending on your experience and the car you are driving, the Grass class and the Pro-Grass class.
Because of my car, I had to compete in the Pro-Grass class against all the experienced fellows, and our session began at noon on the hot and very sunny Sunday afternoon.
Cones were placed around the course at points where we needed to navigate through correctly, and if we made a mistake of going the wrong way then it would be counted as a "no finish".
I made such mistakes in my first session, I was concentrating too much on trying to remember the route and made two mistakes going the wrong way which cost me. Luckily after that I recovered and ensured I finished all remaining sessions. Sad to say though, I was pretty much close to the bottom of the table with my times.
The whole event though was pretty fun and was a very good experience in itself. There were some very awesome cars at the event, and I managed to meet up with some familiar faces there, and made many new friends which is always excellent.
I absolutely love this picture. Okok, this is probably the lousiest opening of any entries and I apologise. But I really like this picture, it is probably the best jumping picture I have ever attempted, and lo and behold - thanks to Julian (who took the picture) as well I was able to capture this somewhere near the top of the cliffs of Coogee beach just on the Coastal Walk.
Anyways to start from the beginning, the weekend started with drinks at Slip Inn (again opposite the road) with the colleagues after work on Friday night, and I have no idea what in the world I was drinking but I got pretty tipsy after this shot they got me somewhere in between my second and third beer.
Here are some of my colleageus.
