Has been a while did not follow up my trip to London recently. Here goes the Part 3.
"Woke up in London yesterday
found myself in the city near Piccadilly
don't really know how I got there
I got some pictures on my phone."
This song is well describing my feeling when i woke up in the morning, feeling so FRESH! ^_^

Going down a spiral shape staircase, we entered the restaurant Bel Canto for English Buffet Breakfast. Bel Canto is a unique restaurant where you can have "Opera Dinner", which means you dine and watch the Opera together. The performers will be moving around singing and acting while you are enjoying your dinner. Yes, it is only available for dinner and at a pricey for me. Seeing the classic yet classy settings in the restaurant just made you feel like back to the past.
Must have for English breakfast : Gigantic sausage + mushroom + super juicy baked tomatoes + fried pork slice!
Understand that Europe actually kinda like Pork as their meat meal.
Well, i'm still a chicken lover. ^_^
Can't get rid off the huge sausage!
The waiters / waitresses immediately greeted us immediately as we just walk into the restaurant, so polite!
After grabbing a quick breakfast, we gathered at the hotel lobby, waiting for the bus to depart to Silverstone track. All the media teams (Astro, Berita Harian, New Straits Time, and 8TV Quickie), Air Asia air stewardess and the winners were on a same bus. So lucky to have Prem (Fly FM) at the same bus, not forgetting all the gorgeous RED LADIES, sounds so glamour...!
All the Red Ladies is sleeping....shh....
Lancaster Gate, just opposite the Corus Hotel Hyde Park.
One of the cheese provided at the hotel breakfast named "Lancaster Cheese", any correlation? Hmmm...^_^
Getting our PADDOCK passes on the bus. Superb like this!
So privileged!
The access card was designed with a 3D logo at the bottom left to avoid not genuine passes .
Even the passes to the grand stand had the same design. Noticed the top left has 2 different "codec". First, the Silverstone track map.
Second codec, a Silverstone track map with the word "Experience is everything".
Silverstone track is located at Towcester (pronounced as "Toaster"), a small town near Northamptonshire. Northamptonshire is the place where Pricess Diana laid her rest here. Before Princess Diana became the Princess of Wales, she grew up at Althorp. Then, she was laid here after the tragic accident in 1997. Her family has created Princess Diana Musuem as a memorial to her. Unfortunately, we did not manage to pay our respect to her at the Althorp House & Park because we need to follow the whole team schedule.
Baa...Baa...White Sheeps!
Supporters arrived... v room v room!!!
Nevertheless, the weather is looking not fine. Raining non stop...=.=
Where's our Jalur Gemilang?
Eh eh eh, under my umbrella...
Mr. Driver, can I stay in the bus please? Outside is really super duper cold! It's freaking chilling! O.o

Inside the area of teams hospitality room
Dunlop team
The floor is wet, even the wind blowing is wet. The humidity at the circuit is just too high i guessed.
Luckily, Air Asia provided us the jacket! Thanks Air Asia for your kind thoughts!
So nice to see our home ground logo here. Sweet...^_^
The race continued regardless of the rain.
Lots of accident happened in the track due to the wet weather. Ouch...
I bought this model as well, lovely!
Bean bags prepared for the guest to sit back and relax!
Overlooking the back of Silverstone Pit Grand Stand from our hospitality "room".
Nice deco...
My stomach is drooling...seeing such nice setting just made my appetite level up! Phew...

Zulfahmi's parents, they are originate from Banting.
Two handsome young chaps!

Prem (Fly FM & 8TV Quickie) with Helmi (8TV Quickie producer)
Tengku & Azlin (both winners from Air Asia) with Zulfahmi's parents.
Time for lunch! Let's grab the foods!
Spices and flavouring...
I like this yogurt with hazelnut. Where can we get something like this here? I would love to have this everyday!
When the west meet the east.:
the rice sorta like nasi briyani, the fried stuff sorta like our fried popiah, the curry sorta like our rendang...looked like the western people love Malaysian food very much! Proud...
The food is on par but they turn cold very fast due to the weather outside...hmmm...
Corn, fries, fried chicken...now that more western style huh...
Cekodok pisang???!
Nope...it taste like sweet potatoes...
Look at the fruit beside kiwi, I never seen a pear / fruit like this? No one knows its name as well...
Ah-ha, after a glass of red wine, I felt warm now...
Let's go for a walk in the rain. (silly...=.=)
Ashton has less fat to burn than me so he had to wrapped up himself. Haha...
GP Hotel?
Random snap...
Should be very nice to have one at home, tee-hee!
Left to right : Erm...forget his name, he is from media team, Thiru and Tengku, both winners from Air Asia.
Cautions! Wet track!
Imagine that we are at Silverstone circuit...
No, no, no, this is REAL! Yay!
Anita and Azlin.
Thanks to Anita for the arrangement!
Ducati O.O
Less and less people because the rain getting heavier and also because the 500CC category already finished...=.=
AirAsia.com @ Silverstone! Glamour!
This is the category where our Air Asia Ajo team competed in, 125CC.
During the break, we went to the souvenir booths. Alamak! The green grass turned into muddy path due to the rain. So respect those supporters as they walk without bothering the mud, the dirt or even the soil sticked to their pants and shoes. Everyone has a very clean top but chocolate / dark colour bottoms, yikes!!!
The weather of the track approximate 18C, with the wind blowing quite strongly, and we had to walk for 10-15 minutes till the shuttle bus station, argh...is killing me. Hardly can breath because every breath we took is freezing our nose. Hardly can talk as every words freeze in the air. Now, you know how cold is that.
We leave the track around 5.30pm. Nevertheless, the bus only manage to "squeezed" out from the main entrance after 1.5 hours! Craziest jam I ever experienced! The lane ain't moving as every car is moving towards the same exit. We reach back hotel around 9.00pm, and we were so tire that we just grab some sandwiches as dinner. And DANG, we slept like we never slept before.
Last day...to be continued...
