Visited Shin Dong Woo and his studio - DesignBQ

It was lunch time and I visited Shin at his studio. Had Lunch with him and his co-workers. Ask him what is the meaning of "bq" and he said "better quality" :P Hahaha~ The best thing is he has something fun in the studio~ I will show you later~ The restaurant is just under their studio. The picture is a Korean Style Sweet and Sour Pork~

The New Samsung Building in Korea

While walking to my destination in Gangnam for my business research, I will have to passby this wonderful building. It is the new Samsung Building in Korea. Not sure if I can go in or not~ But I will try it tomorrow~ :)

The Early Morning in Korea

Probably getting used to waking up early in the morning for work, I woke up even before the alarm rings~ :P Looked out the window and its was so beautiful, took a shot of the view. The next day should be even more beautiful because they said it is going to snow~ :)

닭갈비

I would consider this as breakfast and lunch together because we were having this meal like 11.30am. They brought me to 닭갈비 at Coex Mall. The heaviest breakfast in my life. Imagine that one big plate is shared among 두명 (2 person) only. And 11.41am I am already having 목주 (beer)~ hahaha~

Stay7 - 소추

This is the place I will be staying for the next 12 days when I am in 한국. The place is a not too big but comfy. It has 2 storey with only a bed occupying the 2nd floor. Check out the photos~ I think only tomorrow I will start buying some stuff and try cooking~ hehehe~

Installation at Coex Mall

While waiting for our movie to start, saw some installations and played with it. Its a simple one but nice to see they use for a cinema advert for the movie Australia. The other one was to promote the new mobile phone :)

Below is the installation for the movie Australia:

제 한국가요~

제 한국가요~ Straight after the 6 Hours Endurance Race by mykart, I went to the airport to catch my flight to 한국 at 9am~ The flight was fully booked and the queue was so long.

As I touched down 한국, my friends was supposed to be there waiting for me, but no one was there T_T~~ They can't wake up and was sleeping.. hehehe~ sigh~

But I managed to rent a mobile phone and called my friend straight away. At the end, Hayan was the closest to me, and so she came and pick me up to meet up with the others (Arim, Shin)

At last, my savior - Hayan arrived :)

Pick me up and I was united with Arim and Shin later :) We went to have breakfast. And the breakfast was heavy

It was my first ever earliest beer ever in my entire life so far.. 11.40am and I am already drinking beer~ omg~ Later we went for movie as well..

mykart 6 Hours Endurance 2008

Driver Series K2/70 Champion - Edwyn Low (me)
Alien Racing Team - 2nd Placing - Naza, Tarmizi, Razak, Danny Choo, Edwyn Low (me)
It was mykart and also Malaysia first ever 6 hours go-kart endurance. The idea came up and couple of us quickly made it happen. Naza, Tarmizi, Luen and Me. The race starts at 10.30am - 4.30pm. I was the one who created the Rules and Regulations. It's so new to everyone that even on the eve of race day, we were updating the Rules and Regulations. The race went smoothly with a couple of hiccups but it was fine as they were just little hiccups. I like to take this opportunity to thank all the committee on that day that helped out on race day - Naza, Luen, Tarmizi, Fazz, Azlan, Yusnee. Thank you so much for the effort in helping out to make this race a successful one. Also thank you to Marcy for helping us preparing the food, eventhough in the end we cancelled it. It takes effort and time to help out too. Also not to forget the sponsors, CK of course for the new engines, karts, food and trophies, Televas and VI Clover Motorsport. Thank you all~

I was with Alien Racing Team - Naza, Tarmizi, Danny Choo, Razak, Razmyn and Me. We had a good strategy but not good enough and manage to get 2nd placing. Everyone is happy with the 2nd placing. I am happy as well~ Congratulations Alien Racing Team

Now is to the next step - 9 hours endurance in Langkawi~ I will try my very best to make it happen~ WIsh me luck~

HPC Practical Training

All HPC instructor was to go through the practical training. So it was this Maestro carpark area that we were tested with our driving skills using slalom, late braking, oversteer, understeer and other skills. We can use their car the Toyota Celica Track Car, or Toyota Levin, or just your own car later. Overall, I did learned something new from the practical training, as there is always a never ending learning~

Also we made a video out of it, check it out -

Trophy Plates Design for mykart MME 2008

This is another design for the same purpose but for the upcoming 6 hours Endurance Race by mykart. This is the 1st ever longest go-kart race in Malaysia. So the square ones are for the trophy and the round ones are for the medals - front and back.
