Hi all,
Recently, I took up a part time job as an event crew member. The event was named Shell Eco-Marathon (SEM) Asia and it took place at the renown Formula One Sepang International Circuit. It was a continuous eight days job, first 3 days were the setting up phase, then the event was held for four days and one day for closing. During that period of time, I was totally drained out as the working hours was from 9am to 12pm daily. Only on certain nights in which we were considered lucky to be able to take off at 10.30pm. However, I still had an awesome time working as most of the crew members were my uni course mates, thus I didn't feel outcast.
The objective of this event is to encourage student to build the most energy and fuel efficient vehicle. For two consecutive years, students from Thailand grasp the victory of going the furthest using the least energy. This year's new record was obtained by a Thailand newcomer, in which their vehicle was able to reach 2213.4 km using only one litre of fuel. The former winner came in first runner-up position, achieving 1607.9 km using a litre of fuel this year in comparison to last year's record of 1521.9km/l.
In this event, Shell had also invited Moses Chan as their ambassador. I got to take picture with him too, lucky me. Below are some pictures taken throughout the event.

Cheers and night all.

ghey~ what was the speed?
i think 20-50km/hr only...definitely slow...the vehicle will circle the circuit for about 2 to 3 laps...then they extrapolate the results.
takkan they drive for 2k of distance meh? lolx...i used to believe that at first...silly me
glad to know i wasn't the only one thinking like that. :)
