And God smiles again!

Well, what do you know... I got a five-day junket to Malaysia - KL, Langkawi Islands, five-star stay, scuba diving, a tour of Sepang F1 circuit, a test drive of the new Proton Gen2... the works man... the works.
Come on. What else could you ask for???!!!
Just like that.
"Would you like a holiday to Malaysia," he asked.
I swear, I moved an inch closer to hug him. But controlled myself.
For those that do not know what a junket is - junket is a free tour of journalists, which companies/hotels/airlines/govt trying to launch or promote something take care of entirely.
So, this one's the launch of the new car.
What's really got me drooling is Day 3 of the five-day trip: 1.40 pm Check In Flight to Langkawi Island. Check in hotel Sheraton Langkawi!
Day4: 8.00 am: Free, at leisure. Snorkeling, Island Tour!
Mwahahahaha.
Well... just what I needed.
9th Nov, I'm meeting the Scorpions. 10th, I'm gonna be backstage for their live concert. 14th, I'll leave for Malaysia, 19th I'll be back. And 12 days later, flight to New Delhi, India.
Guess who loves his boss(es)!!!!
Eeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DEPARTURE FOR MALAYSIA: November 14th.
This will be my second visit to the country. The first one was when I was backpacking (well, somewhat) across south Asia. It was sad in a way coz it was planned so badly, I spent more time flying than actually being on land over 15 days.
I managed just three days in KL.
This time... it should be a little different.
And oh yeah, I'll be flying Business Class. Or is it First Class?!
heeeeeeee heeeeeeee haaaaaa haaaaa haaaaaa.

Langkawi is beautiful! I loved it. Especially the beaches.

Anyway, I never compared a Proton to Mc Laren.

Haha.. I'm sure there are other girls out there who follow F1 too!
And I do hope they dont blindly support Ferrari, just coz half the world does :p
McLaren rulez! And Raikkonen beats Schumi this season! Muahahahaha.

Anu,
Yup I know.. season's over, and although Alonso is 2005 champ, I am just happy Raikkonen beat Schumi!
But I shall say no more... coz Conman has a certain distaste for people turning his comments space into a chatroom :D

Conman,
Looks like I convinced your anonymous fan to come out of anonymity... hahahaha.

Ooooh... nice nice!
I'd kill to drive ANYTHING around the Sepang track. The thing is you can push any car to its limits there and the rush is really thrilling.

Waiting for a post on the track test... :-)
