Fans Meet & Greet With Liverpool Legend Ian Rush @ Courts, Setapak

When I arrived at Courts Setapak, Reds supporters were queuing and flocking the place, waiting for Liverpool’s legendary player, Ian Rush to show up.

Well I’m a football fan since 10-year old, supported the top teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle back when I was in primary school.

As I grow older, I’m more inclined to beautiful games and underdogs, so I’m not really that hardcore as a football fan.

I don’t sing Arsenal’s anthem, I don’t refer Arsenal as “we”, and many other trivial stuff.

These Liverpool hardcore fans were singing to the Liverpool FC anthem and lots of questions regarding their performance in the BPL. I was quite amazed, and slightly amused as well.

Ian Rush, one of Liverpool’s top strikers, scoring 346 goals in 600 appearances. With Liverpool FC International Soccer Academy happening now, Ian Rush will be coaching what he had learned in his hey days, the tactical games of “The Liverpool Way”.

Super GT Round 3 Malaysia @ Sepang International Circuit (SIC)

Although I have known Super GT since 2001, this is the first time I have ever been to a Super GT race in Sepang International Circuit (SIC) as part of the media on 9th and 10th June 2012 at the Super GT International Series Malaysia, Round 3.

Together with me was Jason as my co-photographer and thanks to Evelyn for such opportunity. Being in the media room was such a different and great experience.

The Super GT International Series Malaysia Round 3 is the ONLY race outside of Japan in the Super GT Series.

Being in the media room brought us ‘closer’ to the race because we got to monitor the whole race and felt the suspense in the pits, as compared to watching from TV or grandstands.

The Japan Super GT Race has been featured in Malaysia since year 2000 where it was only a special exhibition race back then, only in recent years the Super GT Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia, was included as part of the whole GT tournament, and usually it’s at Round 3.

Like any other motor sports, Super GT is often associated with its super cars and also the hot Japanese team ambassadors, whom we called them GT Queens.

Pretty GT Queens came out from their team’s pits to greet the fans and crowd during the Pit Walk session.
