Mika Hakkinen@Sunway Pyramid
Well i have been a fan of Mika for many years used to be a big F1 drivers in the 90ies,he is one of those guys who simply does magic behind the wheels of the F1. He was also the back2back champion for the 98/99 race seasons. So yeah,he was at Sunway Pyramid yesterday as he is the ambassador for the Johnnie Walker "Join the Pact" campaign, for those of you guys who are wondering what it is check this link. So, we were there to witness him driving around a supercar at the Pyramid driveway which is cool as it can do 330Kmph,if you think about it,its kinda freaky as the driveway aint that long.

For more pictures head to my Flickr page. As we were walking back we passed by S.Amin Shahab art exhibition, for those of you guys who havent heard of it before, well he is the artiste who plans to draw a one kilometer paiting and land himself in the World record book,pretty interesting stuff, i last saw his work as the national arts center in 2004,he was drawing the aztec people that time around, oh and the cool part is he only uses pen and white canvas,thats creative man and oh yea no liquid paper needed ever.

Rants Rants Rants and More Rants?
Well is it just me or is good race relation a thing of the past these days? I mean cmon is all this talk about 1Malaysia and the hype about people first yada yada crap a PR campaign nonetheless? If you guys still dont follow, im referring to the cowhead incident,if you guys just heard about this, heres the video clip in question:
Is this what we have stooped too?
I felt that this whole incident is a none issue, there are many places where mosques are built in Malaysia, and the Chinese,Indians,Ibans,Kadazans dont go say no to the government or create a ruckus like this,if there was an incident like this imagine what will happen to the protestors? They'd be jailed or put under ISA for sure, but these fellers are left out for 2 weeks? and why is that? How come the Hindraf fellers were jailed and put under ISA for having a rally that championed the inequality of indians,which is a cause that doesnt bring harm to the country but these individuals are left alone till today?
I somehow feel that these group of people just bring shame to the Malay population,like they say in Malay,"kerana nila setitik,rosak susu sebelanga". But how many of you guys actually think that this fellers are actually from SS23? well granted maybe there are some from that area but notice those prominent fellers in the video who did all the talking? They are all UMNO goons, heres some proof:
There you have it,the others can also be seen in the next video behind hishamuddin, the bald guy in the suit is the same one with the white kopiah in the first video,its very hard to grasp when a HOME minister can say "oh dont blame the cow peddlers blame the Selangor government", first off was it the Selangor government who hired or asked the UMNO goons to create such a racially provocative march with the cowhead?
This is just plain double standards,i dont see him saying oh dont blame the Anti-ISA protestors or the BERSIH or HINDRAF.
Even when the Selangor Government attempted to have a peaceful dialogue with the residents of SS23 the same buggers were there to disrupt talks and create a ruckus again:
What kind of behavior is this?
Why does the ruling party have to stoop so low and use racial provocations for political mileage? and how dumb of the to say that they dont even know that cows are sacred to the hindus,hello "tak pegi sekolah ka?" Anyone who has at least gone through the Malaysian schooling system would know what is sacred about each particular race, we have to always maintain and respect each other's sensitivity at all times.
Think about it for a second what could UMNO get out of this? well for starters how many Malaysians are able to get their hands on information such as this? how many people have access to the internet and able to find additional stories that contradict the local MSM? Isnt it clear that they are trying to insinuate that the Selangor government is favoring the minority and thus make them traitors to the majority? this is just the dirty tactics of politics,no matter who the casualty is, if the plan works its business as usual.
Hey,finally i made an attempt to blog once again through a dashboard widget from the comfort of my dashboard heh! beat logging into blogger and clicking stuff till it directs you to the posting tool.
Well today we turned 1 year and 10 month hence the title,and in 2 months its gonna be 2 years,haha its been that long and i hope it lasts longer :)
Anyhoo,have to go back to my work,though Blackboard is being an ass and went to self-destruct mode,sigh...
And so we reached 1 year and 7 months today! Wohoo haha sometimes though I still feel it was just yesterday that i met her,it was just like yesterday we had our first meeting at Level 7 :) . I cherish you every day baby,you complete me :D and i know i always say this but here its is again " i dont know what i'll do without you".
Its been sometime since i updated this blog,there been alot of things that cropped out during taht period. Things like Chris Brown manhandling Rihanna is one of it,cant believe this guy can do this and still party in Las Vegas soon after (read here). Oh and apart from that the Indonesian concert for Rihanna's tour has been canceled (read here),pity them it has been canceled twice already. Our concert is in a limbo,they said the status of the concert will be announced in 2 weeks time,its been 13days since the concert has been postponed,no word from them yet all i see in the axcess website is that we have to hold on to our tickets till further notice.
2 of my best friends celebrated their birthdays concurrently on the 23rd and 24th and they are 21,legal and ready explode haha. But i couldnt celebrate as both of my friends are busy with Uni and work. So Segar and Ilang,go crazy guys. I'll at least try to make it for my other friend's birthday on the 21st of March. They say when you go to college and meet new people your relationship with your school buddies will be not as close as it used to be,but its not the same for me,eventhough we dont see each other eye to eye like we used to we are closer to each other now then we ever were before. I find that sometimes college friends dont give you the kind of closure that school buddies could. The closeness is there but it just wears off over time,sigh especially everyone is in their own groupings.
Moving along, Jason Mraz is coming to town and yes we are going :) will be sitting a bit far away though,probably have to go damn early to get the best seat and also to avoid the queue and the traffic jam that ensues. Cant wait for that :)
As i said in the last post,this will be the first of many concerts to come,got em tickets already. took the 198 ones and with the magic of xpax i got 30% off em tickets pretty neat eh? lol if you are buying for two every discount earned is a well spent sum. But i came across this and i was like WTF,
one minute 30% discount and the next free tickets,damn it celcom
So those of you who still wanna go to catch Rihanna live can still do so free of charge,make sure you have a xpax simcard and follow the instruction.Yesterday i went for my company's annual dinner at Delicious@Marc Residences,the place was quite small since they were over 120+ of us including the Dell shop dudes which also comes under Machines. The food was okay mostly western and my bosses were running around with Chivases and their 5-15 second games,lol i managed to camouflage my cup with coke haha,as you guys should probably lnow by now im actually alco-disable person,short for i-dont-drink.
We had lucky draws too,among the prizes were ipod speakers with ipod to go along with them,a Samsung 32inch LCD tv,B&W speakers and also headphones and vouchers,since myself and Leong turned up late we only managed to get 100 vouchers,the traffic was bad and had trouble finding the place which was supposedly behind the convention centre. Hmm for me at least it was one of those days where you get to see and interact with your colleagues from other stores but the atmosphere was not as lively as imagine everyone sat at their own tables which was allocated to a particular store.
The bosses were smiling away which is something very rare on a normal day,haha just looking at em when they make a surprise visit at the store sends chills down my spine literarily. Didnt get to win the major prizes though, damn i was eyeing that TV haha,if i did get it then i would definitely have went off and get this as an accessory.
Ultimate Gaming Rig
Regardless i am planning to get one soon enough and also a 32inch HD LCD tv for myself,this machine is a one stop device for all your entertainment and gaming needs and doubles as a computer,you can surf the net wirelessly from the comfort of your couch and also attach a mouse and keyboard to the PS3,cool eh? hehe damn excited now,but im still gathering funds for it :)

A New Year & An old post
Happy New Year guys,this gotta be the latest wish but better late than never. Hmm well i saw the last post on this blog and it seems this has been the longest hiatus ever,i just checked the blog today and well its been dead for a very long time,and since i have so much free time,well reviving it is the way to go.
First thing first,we finally made it to 1 year and 6 months,time goes by so fast you forget it has been that long,shes been there for me as i have been there for her,it was as if it was yesterday that i met her :) We have gone through many ups and downs,alot of memories have been made,rights and wrongs along the way but most of all we made it through :D
Currently,am working at Machines for the holidays,pay is okay but well then theres the occasional late payments that pisses me from time to time,good thing i get the checks earlier. Nowadays selling macs are quite a challenge especially to Malaysian consumers who are known for the kimasapness,bargain hungry beings that will not stop at nothing to get most out of your store then bankrupt you in doing so. Its a huge problem,cmon seriously you want to marry a girl and ask the father in law to be for extras? and after then only you wanna marry her? pathetic.
I just realized that,im gonna spend alot of money this year on presents,its the big 21 people! All my schoolmates and college mates who were born in 1988 are turning 21 already,me included. Now i can feel the heat of time haha,time flies fast indeed.
Whats next? well i ahve planned to achieve a few things this year, more concerts wohoo!! Formula 1 GP @ Sepang and of course not to mention HDs,damn they are so hard to get,Ds just dont cut it anymore,will just cut short for now,hope this wouldnt be the last for me :P
