Last Saturday, 29 May 2010, Burnout 360 Sabah Drift Challenge was held at the Kota Kinabalu Port, next to Jeselton Point. The event was organized by Casero Events in collaborations with KK D1 Club and jointly co-organized by  Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu and supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Environment and Ministry of Youth & Sports.

Entrance fee was RM15.00… not a problem if the show was an explosive… and the entrance gate is unbelievable… it was just a cut out of the fence… How on earth did DBKK allow this?… can’t they just put a proper gate there??? Anyway, it says shows from 8AM – Midnight… but too bad, I… we… feel conned… went there with 2 friends around 11AM… was hoping on that time, the drift show will be steaming ahead… but nothing going on except for some Volkswagen car displays and car audio show… 😛

From time to time, a car will screech around on the track… but nothing spectacular… we got bored and steaming from the sun heat which is more like body fat burner… the next few days I have to bear the sunburn… and this is the darkest skin I ever have… well it was from the paintball game the week before and made worse by this event… 😛

Then we found out the actual show will be held at 4PM!!!… since it is already around 1PM, and except for one stall selling drinks and some foods… we decided to eat outside the area… and we end up at the Cock & Bull Cafe (Bar – Gourmet – Asian Cuisine – Music)… and I had grilled salmon. Then it rains heavily… and we went back to the track around 3PM… around 4PM, still nothing happen except for some competition results at the main stage hosted by DJ Othoe… Then Othoe announced that the drift competition will start at 6PM!!! Damm… we wanted to go home… but decided to stay since we have waited since 11AM… come 6PM still nothing… only around 6.30PM the shows started… but it was already dark… and nothing to see much… so we decided to go home around 7PM… 😛

I hope, in future, when events like this are organized… put as 8AM – Midnight… the organizer will not be so stingy or poor enough to print a show schedule on a piece of A3 paper and put it at the entrance… so that the spectator can arrange their time when to come… we have no problem paying the RM15… but don’t tell me you can’t print a show schedule on a piece of A3 paper with RM15…

I took leave today and for tomorrow, so I took the opportunity to go and pay my house assessment at DBKK this afternoon…

Thinking that it will be difficult to get parking near the DBKK HQ office at KK, I decided to try the DBKK’s One Stop Payment Center at Luyang.

I pick my friend at Damai and headed to the one stop payment center. I missed the junction… the only junction to the center from the main road. But lucky there is some space for cars at the side right of the main road in front of the center.

I stopped my car there and proceeded to the center… but it looks deserted. I try to open the door but it was locked. I look at the signboard… Ooo no… it open up to 12.00 pm only… and the time was 12.30 pm… Ooo well… that mean I have to go to its HQ… about 5 km away.

😛 😀 😮 😉 . . . Continue Reading »
