Qualifying F1 :: Nurburgring, Germany :: Few Things About It

2009-07-12T12:30:00.001+08:00

1. Previously, the only drivers who didn't manage to outqualify their teammates were Nelson Piquet and Mark Webber. But during yesterday's qualifying, both of them for the first time ever this season managed to outqualify their mates. Amazing!

2. Fernando Alonso didn't manage to get into Q3 because he screwed up his final flying lap. He was on intermediate tires when suddenly the rain poured down.

3. Adrian Sutil for the first time ever managed to get into Q3! A lot of first timer in yesterday's qualifying I have to say. He even managed to secure a grid position higher than Felipe Massa! What an achievement!

4. Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber have the same pre-race car weight, and theirs are way much heavier than both the Brawn GP drivers! Wow, that's a good sign, right? No so true. Because in Nurburgring, anything can happen since they're predicting it's going to rain today. Expects more drama! :)

5. Rubens Barrichello was the fastest man during Q1 and Q2.

6. Adrian Sutil has the heaviest pre-race car weight among the top 10 drivers. Wow!

7. The pre-race car weights as follows:-

8. I'm placing my vote for Adrian Sutil to at least make it to podium on today's race :D It's going to be a crazy race!

9. Lewis Hamilton is going to race with a new and improved set of car. On the other hand, his is teammate Heikki Kovalainen is still using the old set since they're running out of time to complete his.

10. Mark Webber is going to start from pole position. And this is his maiden pole of his career. Finally!

2009-07-11T21:21:00.005+08:00

The official qualifying result in Nurburgring, Germany as follows:-

Webber managed to grab his first ever maiden pole position. And he also managed to out-qualify his teammate Vettel for the first time ever this season as well. What an achievement! Good job!

But anything can happen on this track circuit. Literally anything since the weather itself is a huge determining factor for this race. I personally hope it's going to rain tomorrow so that everyone has a good chance of winning :D

Congratulations, Valentino Rossi. He's truly living legend, and I couldn't wait to see more actions from him in the next races to come :D

Worst Nasi Tomato I've Ever Had in My Whole Life

2009-06-27T19:00:00.000+08:00

And I meant it honestly.

1. The rice was tasteless.

2. The fried chicken was smelling like either A, they have been keeping it for days, or B, they have been frying it over and over again until it's sold.

3. The fried chicken was not even a proper decent part of a chicken at all! They merely gave 2 pieces of neck chicken, and coated them with layers and layers of flour until it looked like a decent piece of chicken. What a profit-freak!

4. They sold each at MYR4. Tasteless rice, recycled two thick-coated of neck chicken, imagine how much profit can they make like that by fooling their customers? Huh it was so selfish and insanely disturbing!

5. We won't ever buy anything from that stall ever again.

I wonder how on earth they can ever sleep at night.

Virgin Group to End Brawn GP Sponsorship 2009

2009-06-24T23:00:00.001+08:00

There has been news spreading around on the topic regarding the possibility of Sir Richard Branson (Virgin Group) will no longer be sponsoring for Brawn GP team for the next season 2010.

It has been told that the main reason is due to solely monetary. He admitted this on BBC Radio 5 Live that when he got in this season of 2009, he got in very cheap. He predicted that the next season, the cost will go up extremely high since they need a lot of money to build a better and faster car.

He also admitted that he will most probably settled in for smaller team instead.

Race F1 :: Silverstone, Great Britain :: 11 Things About It

2009-06-23T06:30:00.000+08:00

1. Sebastian Vettel was leading about 16s ahead of his teammate Mark Webber when he crossed the finishing line.

2. Sebastian Vettel was the fastest driver on track the whole weekend! He was P1 for Q1, Q2 and Q3, he won the race last Sunday, and he set the fastest lap as well. Crazy, isn't it?

3. During the accident between Sebastien Bourdais and Heikki Kovalainen, Mark Webber was just 2 cars behind. Thank goodness he did not trap himself into the drama as well.

4. Lewis Hamilton spinned his car at the same place where his teammate and Sebastien Bourdais met with an accident.

5. Both Sebastien Bourdais and Heikki Kovalainen DNF. They were the only drivers who didn't finish the race.

6. Felipe Massa managed to move up from grid 11 to P4! Great job, Massa! Way to go!

7. During the final 10 laps, Felipe Massa, Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button were battling each other for P4, P5 and P6. It was fun to watch but I guess towards the end of the race, everyone just wanted to bring the car home and chose not to risk potential collision upon attempting to overtake.

8. Jenson Button blamed the weather for his failure to podium. He kept on blaming they didn't manage to get the right temperature for the tyres due to the weather.

9. This race might be the last F1 race to be held in Silverstone.

10. The Red Bull Racing cars were so quick they were estimated to outrun everyone else by at least half a second ahead! Wow.

11. During the starting, Kimi Raikkonen managed to overtake a lot of cars by manipulating his KERS technology. In fact, Ferrari was the only team who used KERS during last weekend's race.

I Love This Man!

2009-06-23T01:30:00.001+08:00

I don't know why, but I think Sebastian Vettel is definitely one of the most attractive men out there!

(Source: Sebastian Vettel Facebook Fan Page - Hey I subscribed myself too what :D)

He's very humble, has an excellent personality, very physically attractive and most importantly, a great driver! I really love seeing and watching him talking during the press conference, mainly because he can really talk and charms people his own way! Tergelak-gelak macam orang gila I tengok dia masa press conference haha :D

Qualifying F1 :: Silverstone, Britain :: 10 Things About It

2009-06-21T01:30:00.001+08:00

1. Adrian Sutil met with an accident, where he later blamed on his break failure and thus crashed into tyre wall. It happened just 24 seconds before Q1 ended and red flagged was declared due to incident.

2. Lewis Hamilton was on his flying lap when the Sutil's incident happened. He was P19 at that time and thus he didn't make it to Q2.

3. Sebastian Vettel grabbed P1 for all qualifying stages. Good job!

4. Jenson Button only managed to finish P6. This is his worst qualifying of the season.

5. Kimi Raikkonen was blamed by Mark Webber for his failure to score P1/P2 in his final flying lap during Q3. He said Kimi was on the racing line. However I'm not sure whether this issue will be lengthen for further discussion or not.

6. Sebastian Vettel will drive the heaviest car among the Top 10 tomorrow. That just shows how competitive his car is because even with the heaviest car on track, he still managed to grab pole.

7. Lewis Hamilton P19 was the worst qualifying he ever did.

8. Both Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button wore brand new helmets in conjunction to this British home race. The design on Jenson Button's helmet was was from a contest held on his website, which was won by Australian.

9. Among the top 3 qualifiers, Rubens Barrichello was the lightest (657.5kg) followed by Mark Webber (659.5kg) and Sebastian Vettel (666.5kg)

10. Felipe Massa didn't make it to Q3. He only managed to grab P11. Heikki Kovalainen also didn't make it to Q3 as well as both BMW drivers (Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld) and Nelson Piquet (Renault)

The Biggest Loser Season 2

2009-06-18T20:30:00.002+08:00

I don't know about you guys, but I am a huge fan of The Biggest Loser TV reality show. I am following the show at Ch702 almost everyday when I have the chance.

First I saw Season 5 and immediately hooked with it. And after they finished showing Season 5, they started back with Season 1, Season 2 and right now they're showing Season 3.

To tell you honestly, the best shows were Season 2 and Season 5 so far. I love all about it; the contestants, the scenes and everything. They were amazing!

But the best and most attractive persons I've ever seen on the show are definitely both Suzy Preston and Matt Hoover, the second runner-up and winner of Season 2, respectively.

During the show, there was no sign at all that both of them were falling for each other. But not long after that, they're engaged to be married! What a surprise!

And now, they're living happily with each other, blessed some more with two beautiful and adorable sons named Rex and Jax (what weird names! :D) Ahhh good for them :D

I just found out today that both of them shared a YouTube account and here are some of the funny ones.

1. Their son pooped at the bike hahaha so funny you must watch this!

2. Matt introduced his latest son to the public eye!

Oh I just love both of them!

During the show I have this feeling that Matt was a very protective person, where he didn't share his feelings so good with others. But seeing all the videos, I guess he wasn't that bad after all :D

Race Day MotoGP :: Spain

2009-06-14T21:30:00.002+08:00

This race is officially the best MotoGP race I've ever watched, ever! The final-5-laps battle was beyond amazing and impressive; it was worth every minute and second spent watching it.

The battle was between Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi and I tell you, they really made me having goosebumps all over my body during the entire race! What a fantastic battle!

It was almost the same heat like the one Rossi had with Stoner in Laguna Seca last year. To watch the action, click ---> this. But in that race, Stoner fell down during the battle and thus Rossi took home the winning title unbattled for the last remaining 5 laps. Unlike in today's race, Rossi won the race in the best style that can possibly happen. He overtook Lorenzo at the very end of the last lap and won! It was amazing, really. No words can truly describe my feelings during the entire race.

Thank you for the mini entertainment, Rossi & Lorenzo! And congratulations Rossi for winning both battles :D You're truly the best racer, ever. A true living legend, I must say.

Race Day F1 :: Istanbul, Turkey :: 10 Things About It

2009-06-09T10:30:00.001+08:00

1. Rubens Barrichello had a problem with his car during the starting of the race. It was told that somehow the car went to anti-stall mode that resulted him to drop 9 places in the beginning, if I'm not mistaken.

2. Sebastian Vettel made a mistake during his opening lap at Turn 9 or 10 due to a sudden change in the wind or something. It was later told during the post-race press conference that it was the tail-wind that made his race tougher and much more difficult than it seemed so. As a result of the mistake, Jenson Button took over P1 and never been beaten ever since until chequered flag.

3. Rubens Barrichello did not finish his race for the first time ever this season. In fact, that was the first DNF for Brawn GP for this season. Very impressive! Well, I meant it in a good way, of course, seeing things from a positive perspective :)

4. Robert Kubica scored his first championship point for this season. He finished P7. Good job, man!

5. Rubens Barrichello, fought really hard especially with Heikki Kovalainen in his struggle to re-gain back his position up. However, due to slight contact that made him over-steered a bit, he lost his position and placed him even further back. In fact, he was behind Lewis Hamilton after the incident! It's like "OMG, another McLaren?"

6. Lewis Hamilton was on 1-pit stop strategy. But it didn't help him much. In fact, all of the drivers who were on 1-pit stop strategy didn't make it that much.

7. I can tell that Sebastian Vettel was really pissed off and madly mad due to the poor strategy that made him dropped from P2 to P3 even from his facial expression during the post-race press conference. He even said it in words that he was not happy at all.

8. Giancarlo Fisichella from Force India - Mercedes and Rubens Barrichello from Brawn GP - Mercedes were the only drivers who were forced to retire early and thus DNF.

9. Kimi Raikkonen finished P9 and that means he just barely missed his chance to gain championship point for his team by that much.

10. To date, Jenson Button has won 6 out of the 7 races. Amazing isn't it? And from past performances, all of the drivers who have done as brilliant as he is now won the overall champion. Wow, that's quite a good sign! And as much as I want Vettel to win instead, I don't mind Button to walk away with it. He deserves it! :)

Race Day F1 :: Istanbul, Turkey

2009-06-08T20:30:00.001+08:00

What a huge disappointment for Sebastian Vettel! =( He started from pole position, which is clearly the best grid ever, and merely finished 3rd due to yet again, so-called crappy strategy by his team, in my opinion.

Anyway, here is the official result for yesterday's race.

Again, Jenson Button won. There wasn't much surprise to hear that anymore, right? Right.

I have no issue with Button winning again except that I want Vettel to win this time. In fact I wanted it so bad I ended up losing interest to watch the remaining race time right after I knew the Red Bull team was making a huge mistake by switching to 3-stop strategy, in my opinion. It was a heart-throbbing moment to see Vettel battling through the pain to bring the car home during his final laps. You can even see how sad and frustrated he was during the post-race press conference. Argh, pity him, it almost broke my heart to see him like that.

But honestly, I do agree with Vettel. Button was just too incredibly quick this time. Brawn GP is definitely the team to look up to right now =)

Despite everything, I still love my Vettel more haha. Hopefully he'll do much better in the upcoming race, which is the British GP (which of course, home for both Hamilton and Button oh, oh)

And not to forget, what a disappointment to see Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso for missing the championship points, especially Raikkonen since he finished P9 =( The Ferrari drivers are definitely improving, but still quite not up there yet. Keep on trying ok!

Qualifying F1 :: Istanbul, Turkey :: Official Result

2009-06-06T20:15:00.003+08:00

Official result of today's qualifying session in Istanbul, Turkey.

I think Jenson Button is slightly heavier than Sebastian Vettel in terms of pre-race car weight. But who knows, from previous races, even the lighter car can finish better than the heavier one. It all depends on the strategy and the driver's luck too :)

And Ferrari too. I think they're way heavier, and that's why they didn't perform as good as their earlier quarters.

Well, we'll see tomorrow anyhow.

10 Things About Yours Truly

2009-06-04T16:30:00.000+08:00

1. I am a very mysterious person. I don't open up to people often, even to some of my closest relatives.

2. I am weird. Really. Sometimes I don't even understand myself.

3. I love spending my own time alone inside my room.

4. I'm not socially friendly. I am nice, but I'm not that good at mingling just for fun. But I'm not anti-social, I think there's a fine line difference between those two extremes.

5. I used to think a lot about what people would think about me if I do certain things. But as I grow older, I realize that people are mostly selfish. They don't really care about you, it's all just for their own self-esteem and ego. So, I have learned to let the guilt go if I found myself trapped in the midst of an unwanted drama.

6. I used to think I'm never going to be good enough for anyone. And that caused my self-esteem to go way down that it should. So now I've learned to let it go. I can never satisfy everyone. Satisfying myself and my career are my major goal right now.

7. I love eating junk food. It's not good, but I'm still learning to get rid of the bad habit.

8. I hate my 1st boss.

9. I miss running in races so much.

10. I still feel like a loser. But somehow I don't really care. I just want to make myself happier now, that's my major goal.

Race Day MotoGP :: Italy :: Result

2009-06-01T08:00:00.001+08:00

It was a wet race, so I guess it showed in Valentino Rossi's slightly under-performance.

However, despite all the drama of overtaking and pit-stop strategy etc, Valentino Rossi managed to finish 3rd place behind Jorge Lorenzo in 2nd place and Casey Stoner, who won the race to break Rossi's 8th consecutive winning.

During the earlier race, there's one point where Rossi was in P1. But soon after everyone started to change the tyre (read: the bike of course) the performance of everyone became unpredictable. There was even a time where Suzuki led the race.

Below is the full result.

Great race!

Ferrari Finally Agrees to Sign In for 2010 Championships But ...

2009-05-29T07:30:00.001+08:00

Yes, there's a but.

They have agreed to sign in but with conditions upon approval to a proposal submitted by Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) to FIA, the sport's governing body.

It is told that the proposal is related to the stability, governance and rule-making within the sport itself.

Earlier, Williams signed up for confirmation to join the high profile sport for season 2010, and resulted in temporary membership suspension by FOTA.

The teams that are participating in 2010 will be announced by FIA on June 12.

Williams Team Temporarily Suspended From FOTA

2009-05-28T08:30:00.001+08:00

You got that right. Williams has been temporarily suspended from FOTA due to signing in for confirmation to join the sport until 2012, despite the ongoing dispute between FOTA and FIA.

The due date for confirmation is tomorrow, May 29, 2009 but all of the teams were told not to do so since FIA refused to introduce an optional budget cap in exchange to technical freedom.

I hope they got it right. I can't bear not to have F1 in my entire 2010 year of life!

Race Day F1 :: Monte Carlo, Monaco

2009-05-26T23:30:00.000+08:00

One of the most interesting races in F1 had arrived and it's offically over last weekend. And I guess most of you knew already that Jenson Button won again! *yawn* Not that I'm against him, but can we just see someone else at the podium, center place?

Regardless, Jenson definitely deserved to win. He was flawlessly unchallenged throughout the race and even with a slight issue with the super soft tires during the beginning of the race, he still managed to distance himself from the rest of the group, even far ahead from his teammate, Rubens Barrichello, who was at 2nd place at that time.

But I have to admit that it was a bit frustrating at the beginning of the race especially because I was expecting some drama between the three top runners in the fight of gaining the leader, but sadly though, there was none at all! It was just smooth starting, with Rubens easily gained a grid up after beating Kimi at the starting. Well maybe it was the tyre selection, or maybe Kimi just didn't want to gamble too much to fight for it.

Anyway, here's the final result of the race.

It was a bit disappointing for Giancarlo Fisichella to JUST miss his chance of getting his first ever championship for his team. Just that close, y'all. Just a place! That must be a sad and encouraging news at the same time for his team as they know they are in the right track. They just have to keep on going and improving!

Above all the DNF drivers, I personally feel really disappointed and very sad to see Sebastian Vettel involved in the accident. It was no doubt it was his own fault for breaking too late, but I really wanted to see him in the front runner because somehow, I've always believed in him. I believe it when people say that he's the next Michael Schumacher. I believe it! So Sebastian Vettel, please don't let me down, will you?

And, Ferrari is so back! So so so, back! Congratulations to the team and please keep up the good work! I was so happy to see both of the Ferrari drivers safely brought their cars home and more importantly, they both scored significant points! They even kicked McLaren to 4th place instead! What an improvement, guys! Good job! :) They're back!!!

My prediction is that Jenson is so going to win the overall driver championship. He's going so strong right now I don't think he'll ever back off. This year is so his year and I'm proud of him despite the rough and tough journeys they faced during winter last year. But, we'll see. It's still a long journey anyway :)

Qualifying F1 :: Monte Carlo, Monaco :: Pre-Race Weights

2009-05-24T13:00:00.003+08:00

Pre-race car weights by provisional grid as follow:

Even though Lewis Hamilton qualified 16th yesterday, but due to gear-box change penalty, he has to start at 20th instead.

But what bothers me is that why he chose to start lighter? Well maybe he plans to do 3-pit stop strategy but in Monaco, I think it's quite a challenging and risky move. I hope he'll make it and for the first time ever, I feel sorry for him and honestly hoping for the best for him on today's race.

Let's take a look at the Top 3. This is not too surprising but I did not expect that Brawn GP will be that heavy! I mean, just look at the car weight difference between both the Brawn GP drivers and the rest of the qualifiers in Q3, especially Sebastian Vettel!

Of course, Kazuki Nakajima's car weight explains why he was 'extraordinarily slow' during Q3 yesterday that results in Sebastian Vettel's bad performance, mainly because he was stuck behind Kazuki during his final flying lap, despite having to slow down earlier to give him some space. And, bad traffic too, poor him. I just hope miracle will happen today.

Driving heavier cars but still managed to qualify P1 and P3 show that the Brawn GP team is still going on stronger and stronger each race. What a performance!

We'll see how things turn out tonight. I can't wait for the fun!

Qualifying F1 :: Monte Carlo, Monaco :: Prediction

2009-05-24T08:30:00.001+08:00

Let's revisit our Top 3 for today's race.

P1 - Jenson Button (Brawn GP)
P2 - Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)
P3 - Rubens Barrichello (Brawn GP)

I have thought of some predictions on what's going to happen tomorrow during the starting. It's because I personally think that the starting plays a HUGE role on determining the race winner since as we all know, Monaco circuit does not allow much room for over-taking.

It's going to be like this; It's either A, Button will move to the race line to block Raikkonen and let Barrichello passes him and the rest will up to the team to decide on the strategy.

Or B, Button will stay in his line and let Raikkonen presses his magic KERS button and prevents Barrichello from moving to P1.

Most probably, A will happen. Because it's better for the Brawn GP team to finish 1-2, rather than 2-3, regardless of the P1-P2 order. Furthermore, if you let a KERS car passes you, it will be even harder to pass them back.

But then if A happens, there's a slight tendency that both drivers will crash. I am afraid that Button will pull in to block Raikkonen at the same time when Raikkonen is pressing his KERS button and then BAMMM! Both DNF.

Oh well. This is just a prediction from a very amateur person. I believe they have better strategies to work this situation out :) And for that, we'll see today how thing's working out for them all.

Qualifying F1 :: Monte Carlo, Monaco :: Behind the Scene

2009-05-23T22:30:00.004+08:00

Among the interesting scenes that I have managed to see and enjoy too at the same time ...

1. Felipe Massa involved in minor accident during his very first formation lap. Maybe his tyre or the circuit temperature was still not hot enough. But he still managed to do his flying lap for several times to finish P5 during Q1.

2. Lewis Hamilton slipped during one sharp corner in section 3 that caused him to crash the left back tyre of his car. He was out and didn't finish his lap. It was predicted that if he managed to finish the lap, he'll score among the Top 5 because he was in good position before the incident. Personally I think he was among the front runners if he didn't crash his car.

3. Nico Rosberg scored P1 during Q1 at the very last second! I've always loved the end of quaters because drivers are always pushing crazily hard to score their best.

4. Nelson Piquet almost involved in accident, the same pattern like Lewis Hamilton too during Q2. However, he managed to brake and stopped at the very exact moment, right before it all went wrong and therefore faced the same consequence like Lewis - end of qualifying. He managed to only finish at P12.

5. Kimi Raikkonen managed to grab P1 during Q2 with 1:14.514 second. What a great improvement by Ferrari!

6. Heikki Kovalainen finished P2 during Q2 with 1:14.809 second with three-hundredths second behind Kimi Raikkonen from Ferrari! Another great achievement by McLaren! They have managed to beat the Red Bull Racing and Brawn GP teams!

7. Giancarlo Fisichella was penalized for miscutting the chicanes. The times he did for the two laps were disqualified.

8. Both drivers from Force India - Mercedes and Toro Roso (STR - Ferrari) teams managed to be in Q2! What a great improvement from both teams!

9. Both drivers from Toyota and BMW Sauber teams finished 19, 20 and 17, 18, respectively. What a disappointment especially to BMW team, who consistently failed to deliver good result especially after the first race in Australia (where Robert Kubica crashed with Sebastian Vettel during the three last laps)

10. Today (23 May) is Rubens Barrichello's birthday. The broadcaster predicted that Rubens will finish P1 tomorrow, followed by either Kimi then Jenson or Jenson then Kimi. But please take note that Kimi is running with KERS whereas both of the Brawn GP drivers are not. It's all depends on how Kimi and Jenson will react tomorrow. Hopefully Jenson will not block the race line WHILE Kimi is pressing his KERS button. Or else, they'll crash and Rubens will win, instead.

Qualifying F1 :: Monte Carlo, Monaco

2009-05-23T21:45:00.003+08:00

It's only qualifying, and the drama has officially begun!

Jenson Button grabbed P1, again! For the 4th time this season, he's up there, guys! Great drive, dude!

And what's more shocking, well not that shocking since he did quite a fantastic job during the practice, Kimi Raikkonen grabbed P2! For the first time this season, Ferrari scored Top 3 during qualifying, this is the best achievement so far from them. Great news!

Anyway, here is the official results for today's Qualifying F1 in Monaco, one of the most interesting circuits in F1 Championship.

I'm so so SO proud of Kimi and Massa. They did it! Finally, a representative in the after-session press conference (even though I think Kimi's voice was so monotonous I could fall asleep like instantly! ;p) from the Red team!

Jenson Button: Between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel

2009-05-23T15:30:00.001+08:00

If I were Jenson Button and I were given a question which one between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel is a treat to him, I would definitely answer Sebastian Vettel, full stop.

But I am not him.

Jenson Button himself, despite the consistent pressure showed by Sebastian Vettel, thinks that he is more threatened by Mark Webber than by Vettel.

Main reason? He has been racing along him all this while and he thinks that Webber will do good in Monaco this weekend.

Well Button, I think you're a bit wrong there. I still personally think the bigger threat comes from Vettel, not Webber. Webber might have vast experience in F1 racing, but Vettel is one hell of a great driver. I have strong faith in him, and I know he'll do great job this weekend.

Despite everything, I still support both of the Red Bull drivers. They're two of my favorites! :)

Jenson Button's Going to Join London Triathlon Challenge

2009-05-15T08:30:00.003+08:00

Despite having busy schedules with his blooming Formula 1 career, he's also one of the talented and great triathletes.

Last year, he managed to finish 16th out of 250 triathletes participating in the amateur Sevenoaks Triathlon, and finished 117th out of 1700 contestants in the Olympic-distance Nokia Royal Windsor Triathlon. Those are definitely amazing achievements!

This year, he will be raising fund for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which will help to make the people who suffer from life-threatening illnesses dreams come true.

Please click the picture below for more details on Jenson's fund raising efforts.

The triathlon consists of 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and 10 km run. It will take place at London Excel Centre on August 1st, 2009.

Let's support him!

Attitude of Men that Sometimes We Just Can't Understand

2009-05-04T10:30:00.002+08:00

To understand what you want in life and to finally find your dream soulmate is definitely a memorable chapter in one's life. And it is even sweeter it you end up marrying him or her.

But no matter how long or how deep you think you have understood your partner, it is normally normal that you thought wrong or not enough. It's not an easy job to understand a person completely since most of the times they don't even understand their own selves.

A Good Listener

Normally, men are generally good listeners. It is because they are less involved in the emotion drama and they are more patient and wiser, in a way, unlike women. But they are easily bored as well especially when they have to deal with the same case and same problem each time.

Petty Stuff

Men are easily irritated with petty, unimportant and irrelevant things. Even worse if they see you all mad and annoyed at the same old stories that have been settled a long time ago and should have never been brought back. I guess that's why we tend to turn to our girlfriends rather than our men for repetitive gossips and whatnot.

Crying Drama

It is not too desperate if you cry in front of the boyfriend because it is quite understandable since women are mostly largely influenced by their emotions. But if you cry too much and too often, it does look too desperate and too much for any man to handle. So, don't over-cry.

Saying I Love You

It is normal for couples to say this phrase of 'I Love You' so on so forth. But be careful, don't be too sure when your man say this to you, even to your face because to some men, it is just words. And don't fret too much too if your man rarely or never say it to you because some men, they prefer to express their feelings through gesture and action rather than merely words.

How to Prevent Overeating at Party

2009-04-30T05:30:00.002+08:00

Food is always referred to as one of the most comforting mediums in the world. And especially when you're at a party, it is almost inseparable with the fact that most of them are fat-laden food or maybe just drinks with hundreds of hidden calories in them.

But, fret not. There are ways to prevent overeating from happening.

1. No empty stomach
Oh this is crucial. This is like the ultimate must-do. If you're smart, you don't attend any party with your stomach empty since morning. Or if you do, drink a glass of plain water or take some fruits first upon arrival. It will help you to prevent from consuming more calories than you actually need.

2. Use smaller plate
This is very helpful, it's like you're playing with your mind and psychology. Imagine eating 2 full plate of meal, doesn't it sound like a lot? But make you sure you know your limit. Don't use the excuse to eat more rounds since you're using smaller plate.

3. Know the amount of calories
Try to be alert on the accumulating calories that you've consumed so that you won't go overboard. To be safe, always opt for vegetables, fruits, salad and high protein. At least you're sure they're healthy.

4. Take your time
Don't be greedy. Eat, chew and swallow your food slowly. You'll mostly overeat if you're speed-eating.

5. Try to limit second helping
After your first round, sit back, relax and allow your brain to digest information, on whether do your body really need the second helping or not. If you're still feeling hungry, try to eat fruits instead. Don't destroy your diet by overindulging.

Movie Review: Passengers

2009-04-29T12:30:00.001+08:00

One of the best movies I've seen this year. Period.

It started a bit slow, because it felt like it began out of nowhere - suddenly Anne Hathaway playing Claire, a young therapist appeared and started working on counseling the flight's five survivors.

When they shared their recollections of the incident, some said that they think they heard an explosion but the airline claimed it never happened. One of the survivors named Eric is not really a fond of the counseling session but Claire insisted to help.

Just as Claire's professional relationship with Eric despite her better judgment emerged into a romance, the survivors began to disappear and skip session mysteriously, one by one. Claire determined to uncover the truth, regardless of the consequences.

At the end, truth revealed. She was in the flight herself and there were no survivors, not herself, not even Eric. The rest of the characters were just someone they knew in the past, who came back to help them to grab the reality and to see the light, or something like that.

In my personal opinion, during my 1st time watching, it was boring. But after I knew what happened at the end, I watched it again for the 2nd time and it turned out quite interesting. It's just that the beginning was a bit slow that's why I tend to lost focus and became bored a bit.

Overall, I love it ;)

Isu Kahwin Lari Mengikut Warga Asing

2009-04-28T23:30:00.001+08:00

Hampir setiap hari kita akan mendengar ataupun terbaca tentang kisah kahwin lari mengikut kekasih yang bukan warganegara Malaysia. Namun adakah kita sedari bahawa kahwin lari mengikut warga asing sebenarnya menyalahi undang-undang di negara ini? Mungkin ya dan mungkin tidak. Walau apa jua alasan yang diberikan sekalipun, ianya tetap salah di sisi undang-undang di bawah Akta Undang-Undang Keluarga Islam (Wilayah Persekutuan) 1984.

Di bawah Akta ini diperuntukkan:

1. Seksyen 19
Setiap orang yang hendak berkahwin perlu mendapatkan kebenaran daripada mahkamah.

2. Seksyen 24
Perkahwinan di luar negara perlu terlebih dahulu mendapat kebenaran mahkamah.

3. Seksyen 8
Umur minimum lelaki yang dibenarkan berkahwin ialah 18 tahun manakala umur minimum perempuan pula ialah 16 tahun. Remaja yang di bawah had umur ini hanya dibenarkan berkahwin dengan keizinan bertulis daripada mahkamah.

4. Seksyen 40
Sesiapa sahaja (termasuk remaja) yang berkahwin tanpa keizinan mahkamah telah melakukan suatu kesalahan dan sekiranya disabit, boleh didenda atau dipenjara atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Dari segi hukum syarak, perkahwinan tersebut adalah sah jika mengikut hukum-hukumnya contohnya wali hakim, jurunikah dan saksi, tetapi ianya hanya sah dari segi syarak, dan tidak sah dari segi perundangan syariah negara.

For the Love of Heidi Klum

2009-04-27T20:30:00.002+08:00

I have always loved Heidi Klum because I think she's one the very rare persons, who has a beautiful heart, a beautiful soul and a hot smoking body.

Just look at those abs. Wow, hotness!!

And that smile ... wow, beautiful.

And those legs ... *speechless*

But most importantly, she has a great relationship with her husband and her kids. She's SO not the typical ladies out there. I guess that's what makes her so amazing.

Pre-Race Car Weights :: Sakhir, Bahrain

2009-04-26T14:30:00.001+08:00

As predicted, both the Toyota drivers are running slightly lighter than Vettel!

In fact, among the Top 5 during qualifying, Vettel ran the heaviest!

And look at both the Ferrari drivers. They're running heavy, especially Raikkonen. So I guess and I hope that explains his P10.

My prediction is that Timo Glock especially is going to hit the pit stop way earlier than Vettel and probably Trulli as well. So that will give Vettel enough time to distance himself from the rest of the group far enough to make it remain in P1 even after he made his 1st pit stop himself.

And eventually win the race ;)

Qualifying F1 :: Sakhir, Bahrain

2009-04-25T23:30:00.000+08:00

Today's result.

What an amazing qualifying session! It's 1-2 drivers from the same team again! I think we are going to see this kind of trend quite a lot throughout the season since it has been showing for few times already.

Anyway, back to the qualifying session held today.

I have to say that Sebastian Vettel is truly a rising star in Formula One as he made it to P1 again in Q1 and Q2. He even was the fastest man during the whole session! And if I'm not mistaken, he qualified for P1 in just one attempt during Q2, what a drive!

But in Q3, he only made it to P3, 2nd row grid position, behind Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock from Panasonic Toyota team. What an achievement for both of the Toyota drivers! And Trulli made it to pole.

However, I suspected that they're both light in fuel, or maybe lighter than Vettel. If not, I am pretty confident that Vettel will have pole position this year. He grabbed P1 for both Q1 and Q2, what else to prove that he is so in the right and perfect condition right now?

Well, we'll see the weight cars analysis later.

Sakhir race track is an advantage to those cars equipped with KERS since the track has several sections which it can be fully utilized. I'm not so sure which cars are using KERS, but for sure both Ferraris are in, both BMWs are in and both Renaults are in as well.

And during Q1, at the very last corner and during the very last attempt to grab those Top 15 positions, there was an incident between Adrian Sutil from Force India and Mark Webber from Red Bull.

It happened when Webber was in the run for a better time to qualify him to Top 15, whereas Adrian Sutil was trying to build his momentum for his last flying lap. At the last corner, Sutil blocked Webber and made him slowed down to avoid collision or any potential damage and thus killed his lap time. Frustrated and probably upset with the incident, Webber was seen as if he was trying to do the same to Sutil by blocking him at the race line.

I learned later that Sutil was penalized and dropped from P16 to P19. Not that it matters that much to him anyway.

I'll blog about the pre-race weight analysis for each car later when they have made the announcement.

What Should You Do When You Were Hit by Diarrhea?

2009-04-22T08:30:00.004+08:00

If it's severe enough, please skip all these and just go to the nearest clinic or hospital for further consultation and medication by the doctors and the experts. But if it's still bearable, feel free to read more.

So, what should you do?

1. Drink a lot of plain water but make sure you take it easy, don't be too greedy to finish up as much as you can as it'll make you feel even dizzier.
2. Prevent yourself from taking alcohol or caffein and milk. Trust me, it's worth the skip.
3. Take soft food for meal, for example porridge, crackers, toasted bread or fruits.
4. Don't take meat, raw vegetable or anything that's hard to digest.
5. Be as near as possible to the restroom ;)
6. Relax. Don't stress yourself too much. It'll make it worse.
7. Most importantly, if it's still occurring even after 24 hours, it's better for you to seek professional help. Don't gamble too much on false alarm. It could be a symptom.

And remember, if any of the followings occurs to you, get yourself to see the doctor as soon as possible.

1. Diarrhea and bleeding
2. Sudden body weight loss
3. Constant pain in the abdomen area

Remember, prevention is better than cure.

Why Most Men Are Prone to Delay Marriage?

2009-04-20T20:30:00.004+08:00

When asking unmarried and bachelor men about getting married, most them would feel like they aren't ready yet for the big commitment regardless of the fun side of it. And they very much prefer to be in a long relationship first before jumping into the huge responsibility bandwagon. This situation makes most women feel vulnerable and think that the men they are seeing are not being serious enough on the subject of moving on and settling down with them.

Most of them will only freak out when they reach the age of mid-30s. And because of the chaos and the need, they will turn to family's decision to arrange someone for them to settle down, if there's no one available around him. Not that I'm against the idea of having family to decide, but let's try to understand why some men are prone to delay marriage in living their precious lives.

1. The Big Responsibility
They know the responsibility is going to be huge because as the head of the family, they need to support most of the responsibilities. And because of that, they are afraid that they can't carry the burden responsibly well enough.

2. The Freedom
Naturally, men are prone to push away anything that will prevent them from being totally free. They really hate the fact that when they're married, they no longer hold the freedom to do anything they want to do and because of that, they are afraid to step out from their comfort zone.

3. The Asset
The moment responsible men decided to get married, most of them are actually quite confident that they can support their future family financially. This is because most men do not want to be trapped in a financial crisis after they are married, and because of wanting to grow sufficient asset first, they tend to overdo it.

4. The Trust
99% of men think that the main reason for a divorce to happen is the change in character between either one of them. Of course, they know how they feel but they do not know what type of a wife they're marrying. That's why they need to really trust their partners before they settle down and indeed, it takes time.

5. The Lifestyle
Some men think that marriage will topple up their bachelor lifestyles upside down because of the need to be around the family most of the free times. That's why even though they really love their partners, they are afraid that they won't have the same freedom like they used to after they're married. And thus the same lifestyles.

In conclusion, men can create thousands of reasons for not wanting to get married, yet. It goes by the saying, when there's a will, there's a way. I have always believed that a truly good man knows what they want and will go for it. But remember, don't overdo it.

Movie Review: Bride Wars by Yours Truly

2009-04-20T18:30:00.001+08:00

Again, I might be too late, but it's not very too late, isn't it? ;-)

By now I'm pretty sure most of you, dear friends have already watched this movie at least once, or maybe not yet. I've watched it, once and love it ;-)

The story is about two gorgeous ladies, who have been best friends to each other since they were little kids. They both shared secret fantasy and dream of having a wedding at the Plaza, and each other as the bridesmaid.

On a one fine day, both of them found that both of them were engaged, and finally it's time to see the wedding planner of their childhood dreams. They were told that there were three openings in June, two of them were in the same day, the 6th whereas the other opening was in 27th. So it was perfect since they can split.

Unfortunately, they were both booked on the same day, hence one needed to give in. But they both chose not to. And the drama finally began.

A lot of funny drama happened within the months of preparation. And hurtful as well since they were both best friends to each other. At the end, one of them called off her wedding and they finally reconciled. And therefore, became her best friend's bridesmaid.

Honestly, I did shed few tears (not much though) at the end of the movie. The scene touched me so deep, and it made me thought of someone, who used to be so dearly to me ;-(

Anyway, I give 4/5 for this movie. I love it, truly do. And I definitely will watch it again someday.

The Benefits of Consuming Honey

2009-04-19T23:30:00.004+08:00

Some people said that consuming honey is not good for your diet as it contains high sugar content. But literally speaking, it is not that bad, at all especially in regards to your health. In fact, it is actually one of the alternatives for those of you who are planning to lose some weights.

Among the benefits of consuming honey are:

1. Honey can help to supply sufficient energy for you to last your day without feeling overly hungry.

2. A tablespoon of honey is sufficient enough for your body to withstand doing heavy activities for 2-3 hours, or maybe more.

3. To lose weight, you can try to mix 2-3 tablespoon of honey with a glass of plain water every morning and night.

4. And best of all, it didn't make it you fat unless you eat like a bottle full of it.

Race Day F1 :: Shanghai, China Part 2

2009-04-19T17:30:00.000+08:00

Racing Time

Robert Kubica hit Jarno Trulli from the back and caused the Toyota's driver to discontinue racing because his rear end was entirely ripped off during lap 36-37/56. And of course that caused SC to come out when at the same time Jenson Button was ahead +10 or +13 with 2nd place.

During that time, Felipe Massa's car was out. I don't know what went wrong yet, but it's truly frustrating as he was at 3rd place behind SC when it happened. Another no point race for Massa, and it's getting harder for him to chase back his shattered dream last year.

Raikkonen right now is in potentially no point (again!) position. He's been overtaken by almost everyone including Timo Glock.

During remaining 15/56 lap, Nico Rosberg gambled on intermediate tires! Wow, let's see how he works it out because I think the track is pretty much still wet and I believe rain is also still pouring lightly. This is quite a huge gamble by him. I hope he'll be able to score some points.

I hope Red Bulls will be able to make it make to podium 1-2 this time. There are merely 12 laps to go, and I hope reliability issue won't take a toll on this awesome team. Imagine, with no KERS, no rear 'double decker' diffusers and all, they are still competitive! (And I have to say Vettel is hot hot hot!) I'm hoping to see Vettel racing for Ferrari somedays. He's a truly great driver.

.......................................

It's chequered flag, and Sebastian Vettel won!!! Yahooooooo!!! It's 1-2 for Red Bulls and 3rd place goes to Jenson Button, another podium for him it seems ;) That means he's so on track for the world championship title, good news and good luck.

I'll update more after the press conference.

Race Day F1 :: Shanghai, China Part 1

2009-04-19T15:30:00.000+08:00

Pre-Race

8 minutes to race and it's raining! Wow. The track looks wet, I bet they won't gamble too much for anything other than full wet tires. If not, drama drama drama I tell you. Anyway, no car is going to start at pit stop, and everything looks good so far.

Honestly, I'm hoping for Button to finish podium again this time, and first place is even better! That'll be hat-trick, 3 championships in a row, right? Wish you luck, gorgeous man.

.........................

It's still raining and the wind is so strong we can see from the flags wavering strongly at the Grand Stand.

It's Racing Time!

It's announced that they will start behind Safety Car this time. From the way it looks like, I think today they'll be racing in rain for the entire race.

I'll update more soon. I want to concentrate on the race now.

Pre-Race Car Weights :: Shanghai, China

2009-04-18T23:30:00.001+08:00

For this year's season, FIA has made it mandatory to announce the load of each car for public acknowledgment.

Here are the loads for each car for tomorrow's race in Shanghai, China at 3pm Malaysia time.

P1 - Sebastian Vettel :: 644 kg
P2 - Fernando Alonso :: 637 kg
P3 - Mark Webber :: 646.5 kg
P4 - Rubens Barrichello :: 661 kg
P5 - Jenson Button :: 659 kg

P6 - Jarno Trulli :: 664.5 kg
P7 - Nico Rosberg :: 650.5 kg
P8 - Kimi Raikkonen :: 673.5 kg
P9 - Lewis Hamilton :: 679 kg
P10 - Sebastien Buemi :: 673 kg

P11 - Nick Heidfeld :: 679 kg
P12 - Heikki Kovalainen :: 697 kg
P13 - Felipe Massa :: 690 kg
P14 - Kazuki Nakajima :: 682.7 kg
P15 - Sebastien Bourdais :: 690 kg

P16 - Nelsinho Piquet :: 697.9 kg
P17 - Robert Kubica :: 659 kg
P18 - Adrian Sutil :: 648 kg
P19 - Timo Glock :: 652 kg
P20 - Giancarlo Fisichella :: 679.5 kg

Did you realize that all top three cars are using Renault engine?

No wonder Alonso managed to get the front grids, he's lighter in fuel! I'm not entirely sure what's his strategy, but I hope he will take full use of this advantage of having lighter car.

And I hate to say this, but I think we still cannot underestimate Hamilton's capability. Even though he's P9, I'm pretty much sure myself that he'll nail it down tomorrow. He'll try so hard to make it to the top. And I think he still has KERS on his car and an additional rear diffuser. Watch him out!

I personally think Button and Barrichello will fight hard too, tomorrow. And they have a good chance of getting podium also since they're running heavier in fuel.

Felipe Massa? God knows what's in his team's minds. Not qualifying for Q3 is a huge deal. Last race he didn't even make it to Q2, and during today's qualifying he didn't pass it. Maybe next race in Bahrain he will eventually get back to running in Q3, I guess. We'll see, let's not jumping on conclusion yet.

Good luck to all of them! (Except Hamilton, of course, sorry!)

Qualifying F1 :: Shanghai, China

It was a fun qualifying today in Shanghai International Circuit (SIC) as the heat was up since the announcement of Brawn GP, Toyota and William's controversial rear 'double deck' diffuser issue declared legal by the FIA International Court of Appeal last Tuesday. It means that the Brawn GP get to keep their points, and the rest of the team need to catch up with those three teams by manipulating their advantages.

Anyway, here are the grid position for tomorrow's (Sunday 19 April 2009) race.

P1 - Sebastian Vettel :: Red Bull - Renault
P2 - Fernando Alonso :: Renault
P3 - Mark Webber :: Red Bull - Renault
P4 - Rubens Barrichello :: Brawn GP - Mercedes
P5 - Jenson Button :: Brawn GP - Mercedes

P6 - Jarno Trulli :: Toyota
P7 - Nico Rosberg :: Williams - Toyota
P8 - Kimi Raikkonen :: Ferrari
P9 - Lewis Hamilton :: McLaren - Mercedes
P10 - Sebastien Buemi :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari

P11 - Nick Heidfeld :: BMW Sauber
P12 - Heikki Kovalainen :: McLaren - Mercedes
P13 - Felipe Massa :: Ferrari
P14 - Kazuki Nakajima :: Williams - Toyota
P15 - Sebastien Bourdais :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari

P16 - Nelsinho Piquet :: Renault
P17 - Robert Kubica :: BMW Sauber
P18 - Adrian Sutil :: Force India - Mercedes
P19 - Timo Glock :: Toyota
P20 - Giancarlo Fisichella :: Force India - Mercedes

Initially Timo Glock qualified at 14th, but due to gearbox changing, he had been given +5 grid position penalty.

Renault, Ferrari and Robert Kubica (BMW Sauber) removed KERS in their car systems for this race. Ferrari's reason is to increase the reliability of the car since it didn't last long during last race. I believe it was the same reason more or less for other teams as well. Remember Robert Kubica's car was literally on fire during the start of last race? It was very dangerous enough without the KERS.

And Of course, it's lighter too!

Renault and McLaren added diffusers to their car. A good start to chase the front-runner now.

Sebastian Vettel only needed one flying lap for Q2 and Q3 to qualify pole each time. Fantastic job! It was later informed that both him and his teammate Mark Webber are suffering from driveshaft problem. Let's hope for miracles to happen, I really want to see Vettel on the podium.

Movie Review: Changeling by Yours Truly

2009-04-18T14:30:00.001+08:00

Ok I might be too late for this movie, but it's better late than never, right?

My verdict: TWO THUMBS UP!

Wow, wow and wow. Angelina Jolie never fails to impress us, doesn't she?

This true story took place some time around 1928 in California, where the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) at that time was highly corrupted, arrogant and merciless, one could say. It's about Christine Collins, a lady who had a son named Walter Collins, who went missing one day when she left him home alone for work. For months she had been put under misery and later be told by a corrupted and desperate to prove that LAPD was doing a good job officer, that they had found her son. However, she was confident that he wasn't hers. And from there onwards, everything in her life changed.

The officer, who was more interested in his own pride and joy rather than the justice of every individual's right, put severe and tormenting ordeal on her in order to prevent her from revealing the truth. But the people were no longer able to handle all the bullshits. Hence at the end, justice prevailed. Thank God.

However, there's one thing I'm not really satisfied with - that is its ending. What happened to Walter, after all, anyway? They never did mention whether he was later found or not, just a text line at the end saying that Christine never failed to wait for her son to return home. Does that mean, he never did?!? It's 1928 for God sake, don't tell us no one ever found out?

Oh forgot to reemphasize, this is a TRUE STORY. And I LOVE true story like this ;-)

Seven (Silly) Mistakes When Dieting

2009-04-13T08:30:00.003+08:00

Have you ever deeply thought on why exactly you didn't lose any single pound when you have tried like so hard to diet? This injustice act is of course due to several ~~silly~~ mistakes along the way that might be true in your case or might be not. Among those misinterpretations are:

1. Skipping eating time
Delaying or lessening too much of food intake, especially during the crucial hours during breakfast, lunch and dinner will result in lesser energy for the body to run its normal activities. And thus makes us prone to take meals that contain high sugar and carbohydrates when you are starving. The best strategy is to eat less but more frequently.

2. Too much stress on yourself to resist specific meals
I know that in the back of your mind, in this dieting world, less is better. Most of the times, it is applicable, but to totally neglect carbohydrates and fat in your daily intake is totally unhealthy and not good for your short term and long term health. Our body need sufficient vitamin and mineral especially when you are still young. Thus, a balance meal of carbohydrate, fat, protein and all is vitally important. But make sure the portion is right, don't over-do it.

3. Calories intake too low
A normal woman body needs around 2,000 calories a day whereas a normal man body needs around 2,500 calories a day. If your food intake is much lower than what your body needs, it will result in your body's metabolism turning lower than normal and at one point you can experience other ~~unwanted~~ things like anemia as well. Therefore, make sure you don't starve yourself to death.

4. No ~~physical torture~~ exercise in your daily activities
By exercising, you can help to increase your body metabolism so that it can burn more fat and calories than before. I know it is not easy to commit, what with the daily work that requires much more attention. But, try to include some time off just for this event for example during weekends. It will pay off, trust me.

5. Eating salad (good!) but with mayonnaise? (not good!)
Salad is indeed a good nutritional food for you. You can opt to take it as appetizer or main course, no issue. But, it also depends on how you prepare it and how you take it. Mayonnaise, which contains a lot of calories just in a tablespoon will definitely 'destroy' your diet program. I know it's good and you're still eating good (the salad), but think about it. You'd rather spent the same amount of calories for something else, don't you?

6. Skipping milk
Milk is good for your body because it helps in providing calcium for stronger bone structures. And therefore, you need to include this meal in your daily intake but be careful not to consume the full cream milk, choose wisely.

7. Sudden decrease in body weight
It is good to lose some pounds, it means that you're in the right track. But if the number went down too fast, or the rate of losing weight is too high, then it's no longer healthy for you. This will cause some other health issues such as liver complication because it needs to work even harder than normal to replace the 'missing' glucose in your blood. So, make sure it's at a reasonable rate, don't aim too high and at the end, you'll suffer even more. Think and act wisely.

Losing weight is the ultimate dream for many women out there, even the skinnier ones. But, don't over-do and over-stress yourself. Life is short, make it great! Even when you're trying to lose some ~~nasty stubborn~~ weight.

Understanding Woman's Attitude Through The Way She Walks

2009-04-12T18:30:00.001+08:00

This is purely based on the judgment that walking is part of the basic human movements that requires no consciousness, and therefore it can be used to assume and portray one's behavior. Oh how awkward can it be! Not many of us are aware of this and if you're interested to know more (but please remain sane and logical at the same time) feel free to read further. Otherwise, please feel free to go then.

1. Head down
This only means that she's a private person, and will only talk and socialize with people who are closer to her that she can trust enough to keep her secret. She does not fall in love so easily and is very hard to approach. But, once you have her heart, don't ever let her go, because she will stay with you and be truthful to you and your love.

2. Straight ahead
She's a tough woman, man. She knows what she wants and will never let anyone enters or ruins her private life. She is serious when she talks and she can easily fall in love with a strong man and romantic personality.

3. Frequently glancing
Normally, she's someone we can trust to keep secrets and even though many would say that she's just too good to be true in terms of sincerity and trustworthy, she's a dream woman by many men mainly because she's easy to handle. No fuss, no mess.

4. Looking forward
She stands strong on her belief and principles and she's very hard to be distracted. She likes to argue with people around her and if you don't feel like being nagged, don't ever try to challenge her. And this type of lady will only prone to socialize with people who have class of their own and wide range of experience.

5. Swinging left and right
Most ladies who fall into this category live in their own world. They rarely bothers about the world around them and they always tend to take things for granted. And because of this attitude, a lot problems and issues remain unsolved, and will take a toll on them at the very end.

Some of them sounded quite scary, don't you think? But please bare in mind that these are not necessarily true. And please tell me if you find it somewhat 200% the opposite, ya! I just want to further understand this unique trend.

Until further entry, take care.

Why My Diet Plan Seems To Fail?

2009-04-11T08:30:00.002+08:00

I am devastated. It seems like my diet plan went totally wrong! Instead of losing pounds, I ended up gaining more. I am tired of having this weird trend of repulsive resistance inside of me. I need someone else, someone who can be my motive to succeed or merely acts as a catalyst of motivation. Or just someone to play along the rough and tough journey.

After several self-brainstorming sessions in the bedroom, in the restroom and in the kitchen (duh), I guess I have came up with the lists of why I failed my own test. Oh this is becoming more and more embarrassing each day!

1. I do have motivations, because I know I look bad with lots of fat around but I need much more external forces to push me. And sadly, I don't have any at the moment. Maybe I should find and set someone as an idol. A real someone, not just those movie stars who are born with the body to die for.

2. I am physically weak already, and adding another burden is just too much to handle, especially emotionally now that it's affecting it much more than it used to.

3. I am tired of trying. But why am I so? Yet to figure it out.

See, these are all NEGATIVE vibes and seriously, I really need to be positive, back again and again. Help! I need help. I so need some good and sincere enough help.

Maybe I need to read more. Not that I don't have any source, it's just that reading and practicing what I read are totally two different actions that need strong force for both.

See, another negative vibe here!

Maybe all I need to do is just some minor readjustments in my head that everything is possible when there's a will. I just need to believe in myself more.

What do you think?

Wedding Reception Lela 21 Mac Part 8

2009-04-09T12:30:00.003+08:00

This is going to be my last entry for Lela's wedding reception in Temerloh. My goodness, I didn't realize that such a short event can lead up to 8 parts of blog entries! Amazing. And further shows how lazy and how competent I am to drag small thing to big one ;p

Last few shots before everyone went on their separate ways home.

A tad difference, but almost identical pictures. Oh well.

My mommy in Kuantan side.

Among the crowd.

After saying goodbyes to one another and shook hands as a symbol of departing, myself and my parents headed home. The rest of the group went to another one of our relative's home. If I went just by myself, I would definitely headed the same way too. But, oh well.

Dirty dishes. Oh this is definitely one of the ~~best~~ worst parts of being the king and queen of the day :D

Last but not least, let me feast your eyes with this adorable and cute little kid, my ~~naughty~~ niece.

She's only a year and 10 month old, but really she talks like a grown up. My oh my, I won't how it'll be just few years from now ;p

I will love you no matter what little kiddo!

Wedding Reception Lela 21 Mac Part 7

2009-04-09T08:30:00.002+08:00

Meet my beloved mother, my only mother, the best (and sometimes one of the not worst, but bad enough when she's not in the mood) mother on earth ;-)

Retired, and happily spending her time PLANNING on gardening and cooking and gaining weight. She's even lighter than me! (I think)

The bride and groom at the designated table for them to feast.

All of the pictures are originally darker than they seem now due to my very own absent-mindedness. Up until now, I still couldn't understand, how on earth I could forgot to grab my speedlite from the camera bag, that I had it right in front of my ~~nose~~ eyes! How, how oh how! It really did show that I was too excited to see my favorite little niece too much!

In my very personal own opinion, she looked much better in this color, purple than in brown. Probably because she's a fair lady? Perhaps so. She looked so sweet, so glowing, really.

I'll blog more in my next entry. I guess that'll be the last for the reception at groom's side.

Sorry for the not updating anymore on the continuation.

And this was where the bride and groom would sat and ate, from the back view

This is from diagonal side view ;-)

Some of the food served that were served at 'makan beradab' table. My parents joined them too, but I didn't. It was much more fun eating with Kak Lina and and Maisarah along with everyone else at our designated table.

Our table. Mine was at the farther back.

Among the (delicious) food that were served for the bride and groom.

One side of the table.

And the other ...

For more, I'll blog later ok!

I've been meaning to edit and update and publish my very amateur works in here and at my online album but yet to find the perfect time to do and complete so. And the combination wasn't working also, it's like when I have the time, the idea doesn't seem to support. And also mostly because I was lazy, how not surprising.

I'm still learning and of course the best way to learn is to do it on your own ~~with the help of samples available worldwide, of course~~. So, these are the first batch (so-called), more to come hopefully.

Looks like an easy job, right? Well it was one actually, it's just that the right mood isn't there like everytime. How pathetic, I know. But I'm not pro at this (yet), so please bare with me.

I'll be updating my online album as well. If you feel like viewing them, please feel free to do so.

That's if only I have some updates, if not, no harm done to try so ;-)

Race Day F1 :: Malaysia Part 2

2009-04-07T08:30:00.000+08:00

By now, maybe most of you avid F1 fans knew already that the race in Sepang was shortened due to massive torrential rain ;-)

And I'm so glad that we made the right decision of NOT GOING to Sepang last Sunday because if we did, we'd only be stuck in the middle of the rain and wasting half of our money to a cut-shorted race.

And also, we will miss this bonding with maggi session, inside a comfortable little home sweet home.

Mee cintan perasa asli with cili added for maximum result.

And I can still surf in between the commercial break, how incredibly good is that? ;-)

Thank God Jenson Button won. Fuh, what a race day.

Race Day F1 :: Malaysia Part 1

2009-04-06T12:30:00.000+08:00

Oh yeah, drama all the way from the start until it ended, unfortunately half way through the 56 laps due to the expected torrential rain.

Anyway, first of all, just in case you haven't heard or just getting tired of the slow loading of F1 official website (I used to hate it when I was using 3G), here's the official result (by far)

P1 - Jenson Button :: Brawn GP - Mercedes
P2 - Nick Heidfeld :: BMW Sauber
P3 - Timo Glock :: Toyota
P4 - Jarno Trulli :: Toyota
P5 - Rubens Barrichello :: Brawn GP - Mercedes
P6 - Mark Webber :: Red Bull - Renault
P7 - Lewis Hamilton :: McLaren - Mercedes
P8 - Nico Rosberg :: Williams - Toyota
P9 - Felipe Massa :: Ferrari
P10 - Sebastien Bourdais :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari

P11 - Fernando Alonso :: Renault
P12 - Kazuki Nakajima :: Williams - Toyota
P13 - Nelsinho Piquet :: Renault
P14 - Kimi Raikkonen :: Ferrari
P15 - Sebastian Vettel :: Red Bull - Renault (DNF)

P16 - Sebastien Buemi :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari
P17 - Adrian Sutil :: Force India - Mercedes
P18 - Giancarlo Fisichella :: Force India - Mercedes
P19 - Robert Kubica :: BMW Sauber (DNF)
P20 - Heikki Kovalainen :: McLaren - Mercedes (DNF)

I'll blog more later.

Qualifying F1 :: Sepang, Malaysia

2009-04-05T16:30:00.000+08:00

Jenson Button's victory last week was not merely fairytale came true as he proved yesterday that he's so the driver to look up to this season. Oh yes, he made pole position P1, AGAIN! Two times in a row, how's that sound? ;-)

Despite the very good news (for me) it's a bit shocking for Felipe Massa not to make it to Q1, and what's more surprising is, he didn't even make it to Q2! Sedih la sob sob.

I was later informed that he didn't make it due to failure of his team to get the right temperature for the tyre, like what?!? This is a BIG TEAM for goodness sake! It shouldn't happen, it should not. They should figure it out by now what really went wrong.

So he will start the race at P16 =(

Here's the qualifying result from yesterday, but please take note that this is not the finalized positioning.

P1 - Jenson Button :: Brawn GP - Mercedes
P2 - Jarno Trulli :: Toyota
P3 - Sebastian Vettel :: Red Bull - Renault
P4 - Rubens Barrichello :: Brawn GP - Mercedes
P5 - Timo Glock :: Toyota
P6 - Nico Rosberg :: Williams - Toyota
P7 - Mark Webber :: Red Bull - Renault
P8 - Robert Kubica :: BMW Sauber
P9 - Kimi Raikkonen :: Ferrari
P10 - Fernando Alonso :: Renault
P11 - Nick Heidfeld :: BMW Sauber
P12 - Kazuki Nakajima :: Williams - Toyota
P13 - Lewis Hamilton :: McLaren - Mercedes
P14 - Heikki Kovalainen :: McLaren - Mercedes
P15 - Sebastien Bourdais :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari
P16 - Felipe Massa :: Ferrari
P17 - Nelsinho Piquet :: Renault
P18 - Giancarlo Fisichella :: Force India - Mercedes
P19 - Adrian Sutil :: Force India - Mercedes
P20 - Sebastien Buemi :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari

(Pening mata saya menaip semua ni satu-satu huhu)

Anyway, because Sebastian Vettel and Rubens Barrichello were both penalized due to accusation of causing accident during the last 3 laps in Melbourne last week (which I personally think they got it wrong! Kubica should be penalized instead!!!) and changing gearbox, respectively, so Vettel will start at P13 (he was penalized +10 grids) and Barrichello will start at P8 (he was penalized +5 grids)

Honestly, with the possibility of rain pouring during the race, it's very hard to predict who's going to steal away the maximum 10-points championship for this race today. And it's a close call also because we did not know what strategy each of the team's holding now. Also, maybe Jenson Button's light on fuel yesterday, or maybe the left veering during the final turn by Jarno Trulli yesterday lose him P1 for today's starting grid positioning. There are a lot of possibility and luck definitely plays an important role as well. Let's just hope for the best for all of them (except Hamilton, sorry!) ok?

I can't wait - 5pm!

Celebrating the Hamilton-Trulli Drama (That Resulted in Exclusion of LH!)

2009-04-03T19:30:00.000+08:00

While passionately reading through the recent F1 drama related to Hamilton and Trulli, I found this website ...

>>>>Concrite Hamilton says he was misled by McLaren<<<<

A contrite Lewis Hamilton finally broke his silence on his disqualification from the Australian Grand Prix this afternoon and apologised for his part in misleading race stewards.
Hamilton was excluded from the classification for last weekend's race after it was determined that he and the team's sporting director, Dave Ryan, had deliberately misled stewards in their investigation into an incident towards the end of the race.
Ryan has been suspended by the team and Hamilton, the reigning world champion, still faces the possibility of further sanctions from the FIA, which could include suspension or disqualification from the championship.
"In Melbourne I had a great race and as soon as I got out of the car I did TV interviews at the back of the garage and straightaway I told them what had happened during the race," Hamilton said.

"Straight after that we were requested to appear before the stewards and whilst waiting for the stewards, I was instructed and misled by the team manager to withhold information and that's what I did.

"I sincerely apologise to the stewards for wasting their time but really, I'm very sorry for the situation and for my team and for Dave, because he's been a good member of the team for many years and I don't think that it was his intention. He's a good guy.

"When I went into the meeting, I had no intention (to lie). I just wanted to tell my story and see what happened. I was misled and that's just how it went.

"I would like to say a big sorry to all my fans who have believed in me and supported me through the years. They watched me for what I am the last two years - that's who I am.

"I am not a liar. I'm not a dishonest person. I'm a team player and every time I've been informed to do something, I've done it.

"This time I realise that it's a huge mistake and I'm learning from it.

"I apologise for not speaking to you (the media) yesterday but it's a lot to take in and a lot to deal with it so I'm hear to apologise to everyone."

Hamilton felt that he owed it to his fans and supporters to explain his side of the story.

"This is not an easy thing for anyone to do, to put their hand up and to step back and to realise that they're in the wrong," he added.

"But the fact is I was in the wrong and I felt that I owed it to my fans and I owed it to my people to let them know.

"I was misled - it's easy to be misled sometimes - but that was the situation and that's why I'm here.

"I acted as a team member. When I've been asked to do something, I've generally done it.

"I didn't have time to think about what I was going to do. I went in and I did it and felt awkward and very uncomfortable and I think that the stewards could see that.

"I've never felt so bad. Try to put yourself in my position. As I've said, I'm not a liar and I've not gone through life being a liar or dishonest. So for people to say that and for the world to think that way, what can I say?"

Well, I just have ~~three~~ four words to say to that 'unlucky guy' ...

JUST SHUT UP, LEWIS!

It's (Partially) Final that We Won't Be Going to Sepang

2009-04-03T12:30:00.000+08:00

Oh yes, we won't go, most probably. Unless, any of you verrry nice people, who have extra extra money to spend on, who are willingly enough to buy us the Grand Stand tickets (and Grand Stand tickets only hik hik) But if there's none, tengok kat rumah sambil kunyah junkies lagi syiok ooo.

Tengok kat litar, akan MAYBE berpanas or MAYBE berhujan. Lepas tu dapat tengok pun for split second then dah hilang dah. Tengok kat rumah confirm teduh. Lepas tu kalau rasa nak minum air sedap yang sejuk, just perlu bangun, melangkah beberapa tapak, settle.

Lepas tu kalau tengok kat umah boleh jerit-jerit and kutuk-kutuk sesedap rasa. Kalau di litar, kena agak-agak kot-kot member sebelah penyokong tegar driver yang dikutuk huhu.

This weekend (and the weekends with F1) is (are) going to be so much fun! I so can't wait!

Race Day F1 :: Melbourne, Australia - Another Revised Result

2009-04-02T20:30:00.001+08:00

Newest update! Wah I'm so happy and totally shocked!!!

Guess what? Hamilton is disqualified from last weekend's race due to so-called providing misleading evidence or senang cerita, menipu or putar belit cerita la to the stewards of the race during the safety car incident.

La main tipu ke mamat ni? Entah-entah last year punya races pun banyak dia tipu ESPECIALLY the last race yang tiba-tiba sorang Toyoto driver slowed down at the very last corner of the circuit tu, ingat tak? If not, he would be 2nd behind Felipe Massa.

So now, Jarno Trulli is back to 3rd place, and Lewis Hamilton is at 20th, the last person. Haha padan muka!

My Current Most Favorite F1 Driver with His Current Girlfriend

2009-04-02T12:30:00.000+08:00

Guess who? ;-)

Of course la, Mr Jenson Button, one of the most handsome drivers in F1 and the recent winner in Melbourne Circuit.

He is quite a playboy or a heartbreaker I must but with that pretty face, my goodness, I bet no one, or at least not many of us, women will deny him, right? ;-p He's SO annoyingly gorgeous.

And his current hook-up is Jessica Michibata, a Japanese lingerie model, who is of course, undeniably gorgeous too.

Gorgeous, right?

More of her pictures from Google.com.

She's in the middle.

And pictures of her with Jenson Button.

Oh my goodness, she's so beautiful. I'm so green with envy.

They just hooked up about 2-3 months ago if I'm not mistaken.

And she was there, celebrating Jenson's victory last weekend ;-)

I just can't wait for this coming weekend to come!

Race Day F1 :: Australia - Revised Result

2009-03-30T12:30:00.001+08:00

I went online last night, not in the real search for anything new from one of my favorite websites right now that is Formula One official web. Just for the sake of viewing when will the Sepang Circuit take place.

My oh my, little that I knew that there were changes on the position as well as the championship point, all together! So, here are the latest update ...

P1 :: Jenson Button
P2 :: Rubens Barrichello
P3 :: Lewis Hamilton
P4 :: Timo Glock
P5 :: Fernando Alonso

Previously Jarno Trulli placed 3rd; unfortunately he was penalized for passing under the safety car in the closing lap. I am also not sure when did it happen because it wasn't reported by the broadcaster.

And Sebastian Vettel was also penalized for causing the accident with Robert Kubica. He was given 10 place grid penalty, that means during the next race, which is in Malaysia this coming weekend, whatever position he qualifies, he will be dropped 10 place from it :-( How sad, because I honestly, personally think that he was not doing anything wrong ... it was Kubica's.

Sigh.

It's ok, this is just the beginning. Like last year, Ferrari didn't gain any championship point in the first 2 races; yet still managed to win the constructor's category, what? ;-) So, yeah. It's only the beginning ...

This weekend, we're not sure yet whether to go or not because I think somehow now, it's much more fun watching it at home, where you can get all the latest information, like instantly, including the replay. Yes, we can still watch the re-run, but where's the fun in it? But again, we'll see.

Race Day F1 :: Australia

2009-03-29T15:30:00.000+08:00

2:40pm
I'm watching F1 right now and it's SC time now. Poor Nakajima met with an accident at one of the corners, hitting the bump at the side I think. But who cares much anyway? ;-p

Jenson Buttom is still at the front, oh my, he has to win this, he deserves it. Just watch how he distanced himself from the 2nd driver at the very beginning of the race, damn fast I tell you!

Ok SC is out now. I will be back again.

2:48pm
Commercial break. After SC car was out, Jenson Button managed to distance himself, AGAIN! Wow.

Right now the top position:

P1 :: Jenson Button
P2 :: Sebastian Vettel
P3 :: Felipe Massa
P4 :: Robert Kubica
P5 :: Kimi Raikkonen

3:49pm
Drama, drama and more drama at the very end of the race!!! Robert Kubica and Sebastian Vettel, in the race for 2nd and 3rd position, somehow accidentally collided side-by-side at one of the corners, resulted in both drivers, out of the game!!! Hish, truly unbelivable. There were 3 laps left, my goodness. In this particular incident, from the rough look at it, I strongly believe that it was Kubica's fault.

Final result ...

P1 :: Jenson Button - Brawn GP
P2 :: Rubens Barrichello - Brawn GP
P3 :: Jarno Trulli - Toyota
P4 :: Lewis Hamilton - McLaren
P5 :: Timo Glock - Toyota
P6 :: Fernando Alonso - Renault

Argh, total luck. And this is why I love F1 ;-)

Pergh, best gila tak ingat wa cakap lu!

As predicted by many, Brawn GP finally answered everyone's doubt all these months, after successfully conquering both front row during yesterday's inaugural F1 qualifying of the season! And leaving both so-called giant teams, Ferrari and McLaren way behind, like way behind. Not only they nailed down Q3, they have also took down both positions during Q1, if I'm not mistaken, and definitely Q2! And not only them, other teams like Red Bull also did a fantastic job in the attempt of winning the pole position. Good job, guys!

Brawn GP team was initially Honda team, who announced their separation from F1 due to financial problem, I think. Despite the rough journey, finally everything paid off. Hopefully this will go on continuously.

From yesterday's performance, I can guarantee you that this season will be the hottest season, yet ;-) Everyone was so good, even the Toyota team (whom I hate so much due to last season's issue)

Yesterday's positioning for today's race.

P1. Jenson Button :: Brawn GP - Mercedes
P2. Rubens Barrichello :: Brawn GP - Mercedes
P3. Sebastian Vettel :: Red Bull - Renault
P4. Robert Kubica :: BMW Sauber
P5. Nico Rosberg :: Williams - Toyota
P6. Felipe Massa :: Ferrari
P7. Kimi Raikkonen :: Ferrari
P8. Mark Webber :: Red Bull - Renault
P9. Nick Heidfeld :: BMW Sauber
P10. Fernando Alonso :: Renault

P11. Kazuki Nakajima :: Williams - Toyota
P12. Heikki Kovalainen :: McLaren - Mercedes
P13. Sebastien Buemi :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari
P14. Nelson Piquet :: Renault
P15. Giancarlo Fisichella :: Force India - Mercedes

P16. Adrian Sutil :: Force India - Mercedes
P17. Sebastien Bourdais :: Toro Rosso - Ferrari
P18. Lewis Hamilton :: McLaren - Mercedes
P19. Timo Glock :: Toyota
P20. Jarno Trulli :: Toyota

Please take note of no 18 ;p Actually during the race he placed P15, but because he didn't even go out trying during Q2, he was penalized; hence P18. Supposedly it was P20, but because of the Toyota team's penalties, he was up by two positions. Still, it was too behind.

At first I thought, was he trying to save some fuel and hence some laps during the actual race because he knew he needed that strategy, or he knew that he won't make much if he went out anyway so better focus on the strategy instead? (Apsal macam sama je maksud haha) But I was wrong, it seemed. Oh well.

Anyway, don't forget, today's the BIG DAY! Astro 813, 2pm.

Do Not Forget, 1st Qualifying F1, Tomorrow!

2009-03-27T17:30:00.001+08:00

Yes, it's coming back, and it's tomorrow afternoon!!! ;-) I'm SO excited, so SO so excited. This is, after all, the main reason why we subscribed to Astro. If not, don't count for it. Watching DVD and spending time at the cinema are more than enough.

Don't forget to watch it!

My preference other than the Ferrari (Massa and Raikkonen) and Renault (Alonso), is of course, the new shining comer (though seasoned drivers), team Brawn GP! They were so cool, even though they're so brand new! Top places and quickest cars during practices are among the good sign! ;)

We'll see!

2009-03-24T17:30:00.003+08:00

Among the food that was served during the wedding reception at groom's side. They were awesomely good and delicious especially ayam masak merah, just nice, not so spicy and not salty at all, just perfect for someone who's still suffering mild stomachache ;-(

I ate like >2 plate of rice. No wonder I'm gaining weight like crazy now!

Wedding Reception Lela 21 Mac Part 3

2009-03-24T12:30:00.003+08:00

Upon arriving at the groom's reception, we went out of the car and started mingling right away with each other (like we haven't seen each other for months, when it was just couple of days ago)

My favorite niece, greeting my mother with her cheeky face and adorable body movement. So cute!

Then, right away we gathered in a group for the grand entrance. Everything's super fast, I didn't even get a fair chance of time to re-calibrate my DSLR's settings, and moreover to grab my compact camera and shoot them all. No wonder normally during wedding reception, more than one official photographer (OP) are needed to ensure everything's covered. If not, surely you're going to miss one or two previous moments.

All of the family and relatives.

After the so-called grand entrance ended, it's lunch time, baby!

Kenduri Lela 21 Mac Part 2

2009-03-23T16:30:00.003+08:00

Again, kami sampai di Tol Temerloh around 1230pm rasanya, lupa nak check time. Masa tu saya dah tak boleh nak handle perut yang memulas-mulas, lantas saya pun terus menuju ke toilet sepantas kilat. Nasib baik rombongan dari Kuantan belum sampai, so sempat la saya bersenang-lenang 'menderma' di toilet.

Masa ni saya nak calibrate setting DSLR, so saya snap-snap la keliling. Tapi boleh tak saya terdelete semua sekali gambar dalam tu lepas snap-snap?!? Huhu geram betul.

Actually saya belum lagi betul-betul mahir nak adjust sini sana, saya belasah je. Orang baru tak baru gak la nak belajar, mestilah start dari zero, kan? Lagipun tak selalu pakai, sebab jarang bawa ke sini sana sebab camera ni bulky and heavy, kan? Selalu angkut compact camera je.

Cara saya, asalkan dalam camera masa kita review tu gambar dia tak terlalu terang (sampai overexposed) and tak terlalu gelap (underexposed), ok la. And, saya prefer gambar gelap sedikit. Sedikit je tau, bukan sampai gelap sangat. Sebab lebih senang nak edit kalau ada yang nampak tak kena.

Setelah semua berkumpul di tepi lepas tol, kami pun gerak ke rumah pengantin lelaki. Tak jauh pun dari tol Temerloh, adalah dalam 10-15 minit perjalanan kereta rasanya.

Seronok betul la bila dapat berjumpa dengan semua orang balik! (Eh bukan la semua, orang-orang yang saya kenal baik je la huhu)

Kenduri Lela 21 Mac Part 1

2009-03-23T14:30:00.003+08:00

Saya memang nak bercerita tentang kenduri 21 Mac di Temerloh weekend yang lepas, tapi mood nak bercerita tu belum menjelma lagi. Dia kalau mood ada + kepala tengah weng weng manja, memang seronok nak type dan bercerita. Sampai sedar-sedar dah pukul 1am, you. So, kita tunggu mood ber-story saya muncul dulu la ye!

Oleh kerana ini Part 1, saya cerita light-light or introduction je la.

Saya bertolak dari DD pukul 9am lebih kot. Itu pun 2x naik rumah balik sebab tertinggal DSLR. Boleh tak dalam banyak-banyak benda lain (which later I discovered that I accidentally left my laptop charger, bagus bagus, kemaruk semalaman saya tak dapat online and berus gigi sekali?) DSLR jugak yang elok je tertinggal atas kerusi? Hish nampak sangat dah tua.

Sampai Gombak dalam pukul 10am. Sekali masuk je, mak saya bagitahu abah saya nak follow sekali. Ini mesti kes either takut tinggal sorang or tak suka kena tinggal (which I think the 1st one) or risau saya yang tak berapa sihat ni jadi driver huhu. Ala, bukan tak suka, suka, boleh dia drive most of the way, tapi yang tak berapa best travel dengan abah, dia tak suka melencong sini sana. Kalau saya dengan mak saya je, boleh kami jalan-jalan ke sini sana kejap. Hihi belasah je la.

Kami bertolak dalam pukul 1045-11am. Pergh, punyala laju abah bawak, macam nak berlumba, dalam pukul 1230pm macam tu kot kami dah sampai di Tol Temerloh. Tapi jugak sebab kami ikut jalan belakang, yang keluar kat Genting Sempah tu, so save masa sikit.

Saya tak ambil gambar sepanjang perjalanan sebab tengah sakit perut memulas-mulas and sakit kepala sekali huhu. Azab!

Kenduri Lela 15 Mac Part 8

2009-03-21T14:30:00.003+08:00

Sambungan cerita outdoor photoshoot.

Sebelum itu, mari kita berkenalan dengan Mr Photographer kesayanganku dahulu.

Ini dia, si kurus kering (yang perasan gemuk lepas tu ada hati nak masuk The Biggest Loser haha) yang gigih dan bersemangat waja. Mamat ni makan banyak mana pun, buncit lepas makan besar mana pun, beberapa jam kemudian terus slim balik. Bengang betul saya. Ada cacing agaknya dalam perut dia.

Semangat bawak tripod. Tapi tak pakai pun. Membazir time je.

Saya story sikit-sikit je la ye. Gambar-gambar dari DSLR belum siap edit lagi. Ini semua fresh dari compact camera saya.

Kami ada la dalam 5-7 stops kot untuk posing. Mula-mula tepi pantai betul-betul. Lepas tu kat taman area sini, area sana, area sinun, atas jambatan gantung etc.

Layan apa yang ada je la.

Sambil-sambil tu, saya sempat syok sendiri lagi hahaha.

Ingat nak ambik gambar tengah melangkah, berjalan, sekali tak berapa jadi. Belasah.

Tak banyak gambar sendiri sebab abg busy. Malas nak enterframe banyak-banyak.

Itu sahaja. Kalau rajin nanti saya update gambar dari DSLR pulak.

Kenduri Lela 15 Mac Part 7

2009-03-21T11:30:00.003+08:00

Selasa lepas kami ke Taman Gelora untuk outdoor photoshoot. Sepatutnya ikut saya memang nak cabut awal-awal pagi lagi sebab saya ada macam-macam agenda dalam kepala, tapi sebab saya hanya menurut perintah, haih belasah je la.

Kadang-kadang saya rasa saya ni umpama lalang. Eh tapi tak kot, silap, bukan lalang tapi lilin. Umpama lilin yang membakar hati dan perasaan sendiri. Huhu malas la cerita panjang, simpan dalam je dulu nanti agak-agak tak tahan saya blogkan.

Berbalik kepada cerita tadi, yes, kami ke Gelora Park. Dalam pukul berapa ye bertolak, lupa pulak. Dekat-dekat pukul 10 lebih kot?

Macam-macam aktiviti boleh dibuat kat sini. Hari tu saya tengok ramai yang berjalan, bersilat, merendek dan sebagainya.

Oh berbasikal pun boleh juga!

Oh jangan ditanya lebih-lebih mengapa saya berbaju kurung ayu tatkala ke pantai ini. Antara sebabnya, of course la sebab baju habis, you! Nak kata tak pandai budget, beg kami mengalahkan beg pengantin besarnya. Tapi yela, kami share berdua, untuk 6 hari 5 malam, hmmm mungkin saya masih belum pandai budget, huhu. Belasah, saya tengah muka tebal time tu.

1st aktiviti adalah melayan Ika main air. Budak ni bukan kecik lagi ni, dah darjah 2 ke 3, tapi perangai tetap kanak-kanak ribena lagi. Ini keseorangan ni, kalau ada yang lain-lain, pengsan menjerit.

Indahkan pemandangan tepi pantai ni? Mungkin sebab tu kalau orang tension-tension selalu, suka melepak tepi pantai ni. Damai je rasa, tengok laut lepas. Rasa macam terbang rasa marah, terbang rasa frust, terbang rasa sedih.

Gambar Behind the Scene menyusul selepas ini. Nantikan.

Kenduri Sambut Menantu di Temerloh

2009-03-21T08:30:00.003+08:00

Today is the kenduri day for groom's side. And InsyaAllah, if there's nothing against our will to be there, we'll be there. We here means me and my mother, and probably my father as well. It's ok, I can drive if my father chose to stay at home and relax. Besides, I crave my mother's companionship more.

So, dear SIL, selamat naik pelamin lagi ya! (if there's any la)

Semoga kami selamat sampai, mencekik dan pulang ke rumah semula. Amin.

Kenduri Lela 15 Mac Part 5

2009-03-19T08:30:00.003+08:00

Sesi photoshoot di depan rumah. Oleh kerana kami bukan OP, jadi kami cuma mengambil gambar tumpang-tumpang disamping capture BTS.

Tapi tak banyak yang cun la sebab banyak gambar overexposed. Sakit mata saya tengok huhu.

Kita tengok si kecil ini beraksi je la ye!

Comel betul, geram saya!

Muka pucat sebab macam-macam la. Jangan tanya.

Pembantu tukang ambil gambar. The OP is actually a very nice person. Seronok berborak dan bertanyakan tentang hal-hal photography dengan dia. And tidak kedekut ilmu langsung. Siap tolong betulkan setting kami lagi hahaha.

Banyak sangat gambar, tak tahu nak upload yang mana. So, belasah je la ye.

Kenduri Lela 15 Mac Part 4

2009-03-18T20:30:00.003+08:00

Sebaik sahaja pengantin sampai, terus berarak untuk bersanding dan menepung tawar.

Menunggu pengantin lelaki sampai.

Haa sampai dah pun.

Walaupun hari hujan hampir 90% sepanjang hari, namun orang tetap datang. Bagus, semangat ini yang kita cari.

;-)

Sesi menepung tawar bermula.

Both my ILs.

Settle bersanding, kita potong kek pula. Kek dia, I tell you, two thumbs up! Sedap gila-gila and tak muak sebab dia guna fresh cream. Pergh, saya rasa ada la dalam 7-8 slices gak kot saya makan. Siap berebut-rebut ni hehe. Tapi bukan serentak la huhu, itu mencekik namanya.

Teringat kisah potong kek kami dolu-dolu.

Kenduri Lela 15 Mac Part 3

2009-03-18T16:30:00.003+08:00

Cerita di pelamin oleh mereka-mereka yang tidak berkenaan huhu.

1. Gambar snap sendiri. Standard la kan?

2. Orang lama

3. Family Kak Mi

4. Family Kak Nor

Ada lagi nanti la upload. Rasanya itu sahaja kot yang kami sempat snap.

Kenduri Lela 15 Mac Part 1

2009-03-18T08:30:00.004+08:00

Dua hati kini jadi satu. Alhamdulillah, sudah selamat SILku.

Majlis Nikah bertempat di Masjid Al-Mustaqim tak berapa jauh dari rumah. Sepatutnya nikah pukul 10am, tapi sebab pengantin lelaki belum sampai (masih di Maran at that time), jadi lewat juga la majlisnya.

My SIL yang sweet, cuma personally saya rasa dia make-up sendiri jauh lagi cantik dari make-up artist yang dia tempah. Dah la kerek tak ingat make-up artist dia, bengang saya sampai menyampah gila rasa. Nak tahu apa dia buat sampai saya tersentap sekejap?

Actually kisah dia macam ni, masa dia nak start make-up my SIL, saya masuk la kejap nak shoot gambar dia. Sekali boleh plak dia berkata dengan sinisnya pada angin (saya tahu dia nak bagi hint kat saya suruh blah, apahal kau minah?)

Make-up Artist Bangang: "Hi hi hi (suara mengada-ngada) selalu orang tangkap gambar lepas habis make-up kan, ini tengah-tengah make-up pun boleh yeee?"

Dah baik-baik mood saya, terus sentap ok! Dah la 1st day bulan bertandang, lagi lagi la bertambah sentapnya! Terus saya keluar, cari abg suruh dia shoot. Yela, tak best la kan masa tengah make-up takde siapa-siapa shoot. Saya tau, saya faham. It's just saya selalu kurang sabar dengan minah-minah mulut celupar macam tu huhu.

Ok back to the main story.

Di masjid.

Telefon, jangan tak telefon.

"Kat mana dah?"

Abg as the wali for his sister.

Bergelimpangan kasut di luar. Dah la hujan, basah kasut kami huhu.

Ketibaan pengantin lelaki. Finally, sampai jugak huhu.

Orang yang tak boleh masuk masjid so kena jenguk dari luar saja huhu sedih!

Bersambung! Saya update cepat-cepat ye.

P/S: Gambar-gambar hasil tangkapan saya and abg. I was with my beloved compact whereas abg pulak pegang DSLR kami.

Semuanya Sudah Selesai Part 3

2009-03-17T08:30:00.004+08:00

Tengok SIL pakai inai cantik sangat warna dia, saya pun teruja dan teringin nak pakai sama. Cuma, saya pakai lebihan yang ada sahaja, jadi sebelah saja yang dapatnya huhu.

Ini baru semalaman pakai. I mean, saya baru pakai malam sebelum nikahnya.

Hmm besar kan tangan saya? Kalau tampar orang ni mau berbekas seminggu ni agaknya huhu. Tapi nak buat macamana, anugerah tuhan. Saya ni tangan besar, kaki besar, punggung besar, paha besar. Nasib baik otak pun 'besar' jugak hihi :D

Semuanya Sudah Selesai Part 2

2009-03-16T16:30:00.004+08:00

Muka saya agak sentap sebab 1st day bulan datang bertandang huhu. Sedih betul la saya, boleh tak bulan datang esoknya ke lusanya ke, ini tidak, 15 Mac jugak la dia nak datang. Nikah dah la buat kat masjid, terpaksa intai-intai dari luar sahaja.

Macam haritu pergi Bali la, boleh tak saya period selepas balik ke, seminggu sebelum ke, ini tidak, hari saya sampai la dia nak datang bertandang. Argh, tension siot.

Teringat hari yang sama tahun lalu :D Indahnya kenangan itu, kan abg?

Semuanya Sudah Selesai Part 1

2009-03-15T23:30:00.004+08:00

Settle sudah! Fuh, lega siot.

Saya ada banyakkkkk benda nak cerita. Kira sesi luahan perasaan pada blog sendiri la, itu sebab Part 1. Tapi saya sangat kurang sabar dengan connection GPRS yang super lembab ini. SUPER LEMBAB ok. I miss my fast connection so much! Nanti saya cerita panjang, ye diaryku sayang!

We're coming back on Tuesday, but I'm trying to reason out with abg to persuade him to come back tomorrow, that means on Monday instead. Saya ada banyak benda nak buat, lagipun tak sempat nak rest semua kalau balik Selasa. Basically pun pinggan semua dah hampir settle dicuci and all, tinggal bilik-bilik saja kot. Letih aaa, mental, physical, dengan sakit wanita lagi huhu. Betul-betul tengah sakit ni.

Kadang-kadang saya rasa saya tahu sebenarnya kenapa saya ni macam anti-social sikit. Or orang cakap, tak berapa bijak bergaul dengan masyarakat sekeliling. Saya maybe sedikit dan lebih bijak bergaul dengan colleagues, tapi bila melibatkan ikatan persaudaraaan semua, saya 'lemah' sikit. I know I should be more firm and more 'myself', but I just can't. Saya 'lemah' bila berhadapan dengan perihal menjaga hati saudara dekat.

Wah ini dah macam entry lain macam ni hehe. I'll continue more later.

F1 Sepang 2009

2009-02-18T08:30:00.000+08:00

F1 2009 is coming back, baby! Wooohoooo!!!~

This year, I really REALLY want to watch it in Sepang ... like, really dying to go. But then I won't get the full coverage because when you're watching in television, they'll do all the updates for you and all you have to do is just listen and watch. But in the real circuit, I don't know. Will they?

Oh well, maybe we'll just get the cheapest one. No roof, at corners and deserted haha. We'll see. Doakan la aku berjaya menjejakkan kaki ye. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to watch them alive (or maybe snap some cool F1 cars on the move or something)

Anyone care to belanja me the ticket? *mata kelip-kelip mohon simpati*

F1 2009

2009-02-06T20:30:00.002+08:00

Formula 1 will be starting back in ... 1.75 months, approximately. Yahooooo!!!

Both of us are C.R.A.Z.Y. about this sport, and of course abg especially (because I have emotional issue enough to cost me to skip some races haha) And we're both sungguh tidak sabar menanti detik 27-29 March ini. First race, Australia beb!

But since we didn't have Astro subscribed, abg brought this issue to me last night.

F1 dah nak start ni, macamana kita nak tengok Astro takde?

Betul, memanglah ada tayang kat TV1 ke TV2 ke TV3 ek this year? TAPI, tak best aaaa sebab kalau TV1 or TV2, diorang tak tayang live. Jimat kos la tu caitt. Macam tahun lepas, bikin panas hati je. Pastu qualifying pun diorang tak tayang. Qualifying drama tak ingat punya best ok. Jadi nampaknya kena la kami put aside another monthly expenses untuk subscription Astro pulak lepas ni.

(Baru tulis entry haritu kata tak pernah terfikir nak pasang Astro kan)

Anyway, I have checked their website ... for Sports Channel, a total of RM55 per month. Does this mean that we have to cut our monthly allowance for cheap DVD then?

So abg, want to install or not? ;)

Eclipse, Officially Finished

2009-01-19T08:30:00.005+08:00

I have finished reading the whole BOOK (before this I read the e-book version; unreliable source but they looked more or less the same) and the first thing on my mind was...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

... testing my craziness by answering the Eclipse trivia (of course, what else?)

Sadly though... I missed 6 out of them (40 questions altogether) this time. Maybe I should re-read the book like 5-6 times first before taking it. Like what I did for Twilight one (And yet, I still missed some)

Most of the questions that I've missed were mostly NOT related to either Bella or Edward. It's a good sign, right? I mean, my mind's still in the right place (read: I'm still in Team Edward) and I felt REALLY sakit hati everytime I read the camping scene especially when Jacob's playing the 'dirty trick' damn it. I don't know why the Author herself love the character, at all! He's SO human, taking advantages on girl's weaknesses. That's absurd! (I'm a bit biased, I know)

Ok, I think I should really end this craziness VERY soon or else even the most patient person in my life will go mad.

Or not. It won't hurt you that much, kan abg?
