Kimi taking a [ break ] ?

Kimi : spend more time with family ma..
that's what my former favourate drive : Mika Hakkinen said just before he retires

How can a former world champion : My all time favourite driver : Kimi Raikonen not offered a seat by any of the top teams? This is so sad.. and based on the interview, he might not ever race again for formula one......

He said :
I will only return in 2011 if I can drive a competitive car. I do not want to race just to make up the numbers. That does not interest me. But there’s a lot of time until then, so let’s wait and see what happens in the months ahead.

The problem is, there can only be 2 or maybe 3 top frontliner teams in formula one which make his chances alot slimmer to come back.

HAIHzz..
looks like he'll retire from formula one alot sooner unless :
the new MALAYSIA1 F1 team can prove to be world's beater and
SIGN HIM!

IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING
as i believe that
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

Let's hope this sport doesn't turn out to be a
country vs country thingy just like A1 grand prix.

Formula [ 1 ]

*

7 different race winner from 5 different teams

Down to 4 drivers for the World Championship Crown
3 teams competing for the Constructor Championship
new circuits and new rules
Epic driving skills and Strategies
Beautiful cars and Advance technologies
*
and finally
Non Lasting Entertainment

I have to admit, the revolution of formula 1 since the retirement of Legendary Micheal Schumacher has bring much too good to the sport. All the critics on the new rules and hard work from the board had pay off handsomely this season. It's now no longer just like the traditional two horse race and top teams is now matchable.

Go Malaysia!/favourate team : BMW Sauber Petronas

Kimi Raikkonen : My all time favourate driver since the 1st day he enter the sport through Sauber Petronas ( now in Ferrari )

Fernando Alonso : To me, he's the best driver on the track now but i don't like him much

Goodbye [ beijing ]

If you're thinking the performance for the Opening Ceremony is their limit, let's check out Beijing's Olympic Closing Ceremony 2008.

I was able to watch it live in Penang just before I took the bus back to Pahang ( 24 August ) and their final performance was truly amazing! I truly respect every single effort from China to make sure this Olympic will be remembered in centuries to come. This is truly the greatest Olympic Games ever held in history ( according to newspaper and Internet ^^ ).


Pictures from the closing ceremony :

Fire crackers in the sky

London's performance during the ceremony : Beckham was there too

More crackers : viewed from the inside

My favourate performance during the night : the acrobatic moves around the tower in formation creating all sort of beautiful images.

A total of 204 countries ( heard from TV, i think ) participate in this historical event and for the first time, China top the medal chart beating America! The next Olympic Games will be held in London. Let's hope Malaysia will do better the next time ^^

One HOPE, One DREAM

Other News :

- Malaysia new badminton head coach is now Misbun Sidek.

- Yesterday Beckham said that he might coach the Great Britain Football team kononya.

- I'll be back in Penang during the Raya's holiday ^^

Lose, draw and [ win ] !!

What a day yesterday (17 August 2008 ) was. To make sure it'll always to be remembered, I've sum it up into 3 categories. Let's take a look who's the winner and loser :

LOSER : LEE CHONG WEI

Chong Wei: is my face blur enough for u ?

ADUIHAI!! Our beloved Malaysia hero turn zero in the final showdown with China's Lin Dan. Losing 12-21, 8-21 in a final is kinda sad.... SaaAAddd since he is the only hope we got in the Olympic for gold.

Lin Dan : I'm in heaven

*Yet Chong Wei still earn himself a well deserved silver medal and RM300,000 from our " Malaysia Boleh " government.


DRAW : MANCHESTER UNITED


MU is being held 1-1 by Newcaster in the opening match! Not really a surprise actually, since MU is without so many star players for this game. My unlikely hero fetcher score the equalizer for us straight after the opening gol from Newcaster's Martin. By the way, MU's youngster Fraizer Campbell looks promising.

MU's Wayne Rooney during the match

*To those MU fans out there : don't worry, MU always start the season slow before PUMPing it all the way to the top. ^^


WINNER : ME ^^

Camera man : Chai Wei Chiat

I went for paintball yesterday morning and our team won 2 out of 3 rounds. Although I kena 1 head shot ( no pain ) and another one on my chest ( this one pain ) during the game, i did not sustain any injuries at all! It was fun, tiring and stupid since i crawled around 50m in the longkang/tunnel like sohai only to find myself trapped in the enemy's base ( regretted ). The final round was "robocop" game, which means : U Can't DIE even there are 50 bullets in your head!!

From left: Tek Tek, Kong gene, Boon Yoong, Racheal, Wei Chiat, Simon, Wai Kuen, Teik's Gf, Teik Chung, Chun Tiek, Siong Chin and Siong's Gf

*The place is near Bukit Gambir ( Penang ) but i don't recommend you guys to come and play here. It's more expensive and the owner is damn not honest.

Other news :

- I'll be in Penang until this Sunday ( 24 August 2008 )

- MU next match will be against Portsmouth ( 25 August 2008 )

Grand [ opening ]

A stadium filled with 91 000 of people, a total of 15 000 performers, unlimited fireworks ( made in China ma ). The XXIX Olympic Games opening ceremony is by far the biggest with more than 100 head of state and government attending the event!

And again,
Lets enjoy some beautiful pictures of the event :

And finally my favourate picture of all :

[ 08.08.08 ]

Today is a good day!
Today is a legendary day!!
and
Today is the day that the well anticipated Olympic Games will officially kick off in CHINA!!!

The no. 8 is pronounce as "phart" in Cantonese which also means "farrrrt" ahhhHHH ( RICH )!!! Chinese people have alway believed that the no. 8 can bring good fortune to us. This is the reason why China chose this date to held the Olympic games.

*sound effect * Cheng! Cheng! Cheng!

Official Logo : Dancing Beijing

The opening ceremony will be held in Beijing National Stadium, nicknamed "Bird Nest" which have a sitting capacity of over 90 000 people. The opening ceremony will begin at 8.pm ( China eh time ) today and there will be performance by well established artist such as Celine Dion and Jay Chau. The Olympic slogan this time is One World, One Dream which is to call upon the world to unite the Olympic spirit within!

As usual,
here are some pictures about what I'm talking about :

And if you're going to China for the games,
please be extra careful with signs :

Wow where?

Why so serious?

Then feed with what?

So China,
ARE U READY??
