2008 Inaugural Singapore F1 Grand Prix (My Very First F1 Race)
The F1 fever has been high last few days in Singapore as it is the very first night race in a street circuit. People are criticizing the newest Marina Bay Street Circuit for its safety but the FIA official and the Singapore GP organizers are quite confident that this circuit is safe.
Yesterday was the first day practicing on the track and I've seen a lot of spinning at some corners. As it is just practice race, drivers didn't push their car and themself to the limit. They are trying to familiar with the track so that they will have better results in Qualifying Race and on Sunday's Championship.
I'm a bit disappointed with the fence along the race track coz I wasn't able to take good photos. But I believe those fences are necessary for safety reasons. But I manage to take some good photos.
The race circuit park was one at 1pm and first practice race (Formula BMW Pacific) started around 3pm. Then around 4pm, Aston Martin Asia Cup Practice race was started followed by Porsche Carrera Practice race somewhere around 5pm. And another Formula BMW practice race was started around 6pm. Formula 1 first practice session was started at 7pm and finish around 8.30pm for refreshments. Second Formula 1 practice war resumed around 9.30 and first day of Singapore GP ended at 11pm.
Today is going to be the third practice race and the Qualifying round will start at 8pm.
I will update the today event and Sunday race day.
Update
Yesterday qualifying round was full of fun. We've seen Aston Martin and Porsche roaring on the Marina Bay Street circuit. A lot of cars spinning and we've seen some cars crushed into the barrier.
In most of the race track, they use old tyres to use as barrier in every turn. If there's any accident or over shoot the turn, the cars end-up in the tyre barrier and absorb the impact. But in Singapore Grand Prix, the track is surrounded by concrete barrier. But at the turn, in stead of placing old tyres, they put plastic barriers filled with water which can absorb the impact significantly.
We got into the track around 3:30pm and Aston Martin Asia Cup Qualifying is already started. The weather is very hot and people are starting to filling up the seat despite of 40 degree Celsius. There are a lot of shops selling food and F1 merchandise. There are also some bars in the circuit park. But food and beverages doesn't come cheap. A cup of beer range from 8 to 15$. F1 merchandise also not cheap. There are two different types of merchandise, FIA (Formula 1 official merchandise) and Team (Formula 1 team merchandise). FIA merchandise are cheaper compare to Team merchandise. The most famous team merchandise is Ferrari merchandise. Team cap range from 50 to 80$, T-shirt from 60 to 130$, Polo shirt from 120 to 160$, shirt range from 140 to 230$ and jacket range from 150 to 300$.
On the race track Messa was fastest in the qualifying and get the pole position for today race. During qualifying Q3, Hamilton beat Messa time and but on the same lap Messa beat Hamilton time and became the fastest on the track on Saturday qualifying race. It was not a good day for Alonso. Although he set the fastest lap (1:44.506 minutes) his luck wasn't there to place him in the pole position. He had run off the track in the last practice race and damage his car. Though Raikkonen stall his Ferrari engine on the 16th lap, he got the second row start on today's race.

Update for Race Day
Today is the disastrous day for the Ferrari Team and glorious day for Renault and Alonso.
The race was started on time and Massa was leading the race until Piquet (Renault) had an accident and the safety car was deployed. When the accident was being cleared the pit lane was open to the competitor and nearly all the drivers had their early pit stop and both Ferrari went for their pit stops and this is when the bad day for Massa began. When Massa was signaled to leave the pit, the fuel nozzle was stuck in the car and as Massa drove away. The fuel pipe was dragged along the track and Massa had to stop at the end of the pit lane so that the pit crew can remove the fuel pipe and nozzle. From what I can see, it was the fault of both parties (team and the driver). Massa was give green light so he drove off but in a matter of seconds, the light turned to red and Massa never stop. If he stopped there, he would have a good chance to win the race. At least would have podium finish. As a result, he end up at the last position.
Both Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton also drop their position during safety car deployment and had to struggle a lot to catch up to get back to the top positions while Nico Rosberg from Williams-Toyota lead the race. Due to his their pit stops before the pit lane was officially opened during safety car deployment.
When Rosberg was given 10 second pit stop penalty, Alonso took the leading position and lead the race until the chequered flag. Alonso did well on second and third practice races but he had a really bad day in qualifying race and end up in 15th position for race day. But the tables are turned and Alonso took the lead of Singapore Grand Prix. This is his very first championship winning for this season and third podium finish.
Nico Rosberg finish second and Lewis Hamilton third. Kimi Raikkonen was following in the fourth place and just before the race finish (only 4 laps remaining) he crushed his car into the barrier and drop out from the race. A really bad day for Ferrari and congratulations to Renault and especially to Fernando Alonso on his victory.

My New Desk & My New Speakers
Recently my office was selling used office desks and I was manage to get one. And I decided not to share my room with a roommate.
I have a confession to make. I'm always obsess with latest technology and news gadgets. I can't use my hand phone for not more than 1 year. I always update my browser whenever there's a new one available on the net. Now I'm trying Google Chrome. Yesterday my flat mate took me to Funan and showed me BOSE speaker system. I was really impressed by the crisp clear sound quality of BOSE Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System. And today I can't help myself from buying this speaker anymore and end up buying it. It feels really great after spending some money.
I know this obsession of mine will harm me sooner or later and I have to control myself from letting myself do what I want to do in the future.

2008 F1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix
I've been really busy these days and I wasn't able to collect my F1 ticket at the designated collection point which was expired on 31 August and it was moved to centralized location since early September. Yesterday I decided to go to Suntec City to collect my tickets even though I am recovering from flue. I manage to get the ticket and it is really different from what I thought I would get. The packaging is quite nice and also the ticket (day pass) is very nice.
This is how I got to buy the ticket. Last year when FIA announced that they will have a circuit in Singapore and when I told my dad about it he said wants to come and watch the F1 in Singapore. At that time I was also keen to watch it. But this year when the actual ticket sales started and when I heard the actual price, I don't really want to go and watch from the grandstand anymore. It is freaking expensive. My dad told me to buy two tickets for him and for his friend and he also told me not to buy the ticket if the price tag is too expensive. But when I told him the price, and it is too expensive for me, he told me to buy the ticket anyway. But unfortunately, his friend is not sure whether he'll be coming here for the race. So I have to accompany my dad and end up buying 2 tickets to Singapore F1 very first night race in the history of FIA. I hope it will be worth what we are paying for.
Ohh, DAD, this is my birthday present for you. I hope you'll enjoy my present and I hope we will enjoy the race.

Fall For You
These days I've been listening Fall For You by Secondhand Derenade on radio. Today unexpectedly, I found that song in our office network. I just want to share this beautiful song with you guys.
Secondhand Serenade Lyrics
Fall For You Lyrics
This is an old song I used to listen and suddenly this song got my attention when I was listening yesterday. And out of the blue, she was on my mind. Sometimes, I just want to run far far away from LOVE. May you act that there is nothing between us.
Can't Take My Eyes Off You
You're just too good to be true
and I can't take my eyes off from you
And I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
There are no words left to speak
but if you feel like I feel
please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
and I can't take my eyes off from you
I need you baby
and I love you . . .
This is the song that I keep singing after watching a movie called "Conspiracy Theory" starring Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. I feel the love and I just want to share my love with you all.
This is the original version.
Happy Birthday my friends
August is month of birthdays.
First of all happy belated birthday to Zon Zon Win. Sorry I wasn't able to wish you on your birthday. Have a very beautiful wedding in Vegas.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of brutal crack down pro-democracy movements let by student leaders by the notorious Burmese Army. Innocent civilians marching on the roads of Yangon and around Burma, asking for the freedom and democracy were gunned down by the brain-watched soldiers.
For those behind this merciless act are still enjoying their lives, sucking the blood (wealth) of our country and becoming millionaires. As it has been 20 years, may be they forgot the crime they had committed 20 years ago but we can still see the blood on their hands. Some of them already paid their crimes but most of them are still well and very alive. They won't be forgotten and they definitely won't be forgiven.
The following is the series of video clip I found on YouTube.

Branded Perfume Warehouse Sale
Last week a friend of mine told me that there is a branded perfume warehouse sale at Ubi Tech Park. I was really interested in it and told her that we will go there on Saturday. Today we manage to go there.
After a long wait for a friend at Golden Mile Complex, we had spicy Thai food for lunch. After that we went to 10 Ubi Crescent Lobby B #07-30 Ubi Tech Park Singapore 408564 to find out this interesting Warehouse sale. Here in Singapore, there are a lot of such warehouse sales. Last month, there was Levis warehouse sales but actually it was the rejected merchandise and I wasn't able to find any 501 there. Other warehouse sales were also not worth to go. But this warehouse sale is quite worth it. Today me and my two friends went there and we bought 9 bottles of different perfumes worth more than 350$.
The following is the list of perfumes we bought today.
1. Kenneth Cole Recation 50ml (S$38)
2. Truth Calvin Klien 50ml (S$38)
3. CK One 100ml + Bag (S$38)
4. Calvin Klien Euphoria 100ml (S$60)
5. Ferrari Black 75ml + Ferrari F50 1:43 car (S$28)
6. CK IN 2 U 100ml (for women) Tester (S$45)
7. Versace Bright Crystal 90ml (for women) (S$70)
8. BVLGARI 100ml (S$45)
9. Adidas Ice Drive 100ml (S$10)

Don't get it wrong, I didn't buy all those perfumes. As I mention before, there were 3 of us and I bought only a few bottles.After we got what we want, we went to Robinsons and check the price of the perfumes. Indeed the price we bought is 50% less. Same packing, same goods yet 50% cheaper.
It is really really cheap and I recommend that it is worth a visit. Take a Bus no 63 from Eunos MRT. You can find a lot of branded perfumes there and the best thing is it is cheap!!!!

LOVE Vs HAPPINESS
I've seen LOVE. I've fallen in love before.
I met a person that I think I will love her forever.
I've seen her leaving far far away from me.
I've heard her news.
And soon I won't be able to say or do anything.
Yet I can still love her from a distance.
Am I happy?
Well life goes on.
I need to face the reality.
I met a girl and fall in love again.
I thought I was so happy with her.
I thought we can start a life together.
We were so busy loving eachother, at least I thought we were, I can't even say whether I was happy or not.
Once again, reality kicks in.
Every beginning has an ending.
I pray for happy ending but it wasn't very sweet.
I was so busy with work, I forgot to be happy.
I forgot to give my self some quality time.
Is it too late?
May be, may be not.
Last, but not the least, AM I HAPPY? ARE YOU HAPPY?
I'm afraid! But I'm always praying for your happiness.

Double Picture Illusion
This is what I received today from my friend. When I received it and when I looked at it, I only see what most people will be able to see. Take a look at it for 10 seconds and identify what it is on the photo. If you can't find what it is, read the below text.
You saw a couple in an intimate love position, right?
Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.
What they will see, however, is nine (small & black) dolphins in the picture!
So, I guess we've already proven you're not a young innocent child. Now, if it's hard for you to find the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is SO corrupted that you probably need help!
OK, here's help: look at the space between her right arm and her head, the tail is on her neck, follow it up. Look at her left hip, follow the shaded part down, it's another one, and on his shoulder..

I don't know why I like this line "Even Though I really loved you, I'm gonna smile 'cause I deserve to". It somehow makes me wonder. Wonder what future hold for me. I hope things will be better soon.
My Photo Gallery 4
I've been really busy at work over the weeks and I couldn't find a spare time to post anything on my blog for quite a long time. I wish I could split myself into two so that I could do two things at a time. Problem after problem at work and best of it, boss call a meeting at 6:30 pm on Friday! I was really tired and boring in the meeting room for 2 hours. And he concluded saying we'll meet tomorrow clearing all the punched list. So I ended up working on the beautiful Saturday morning till 7pm in the evening. I hope you guys are having better day than mine.
After tiring design work, I went out with my friends for night scene photo shooting. I'm not a professional photographer but those are some of the photos I took last night.

China Vs Myanmar
Last week I've received the following PDF file in my email accounts. After looking at the file I feel very sorry for my country. When China was hit by the devastating earth quake, the Chinese government showed the world that they care about their people even though there is no democracy in their country. UN comments their action as "SWIFT & EFFICIENT". On the other hand UN chief was really disappointed with the Burmese Junta over their actions in the past weeks.
In the comparison you will be able to see the difference between the two government primers responding to the nature's strike. Chinese PM went to the site within a few hours from the quake but Burmese junta head of state was showing off at May 10th referendum instead of going to the cyclone hit disaster area.
I don't want to spend my time writing about them anymore. But I believe a picture can say more then thousands of words. May the GOD have mercy on Burmese people and may the GOD have mercy on the Junta.

IBM ThinkPad
A few weeks ago, I had a lot of problem with my laptop I've been using for nearly 3 years. Though it is a good PC which normally don't give me any trouble at all started to give me a few problems last year when I went back to YGN. I tried to burn some music CD so that I can listen to some of my favorite music while I was in YGN but the burning process was failed every time I burn. I realized that my CD writer is spoiled already. After 2 years and 10 months from the date I bought my PC, I face some monitor problems. The monitor just dim while I was using my PC. I tried so many things to get it back to normal but it can last only for a few minutes. So I decided to call IBM support.
Luckily my laptop is still under warranty. I receive 3 years international which I thought it is just a normal warranty. When I called the IBM service center, the officer told me that one of the technician will call me on the next business day and yes, they called me back. After asking me what exactly happened to my PC, this lady told me that they will send a technician to my house on the next day and he will repair my PC on the sport. And the best of it, she said it is totally free of charge. Then I told her that I won't be at home during office hours so she said they can come to my office to repair my laptop. Next day, a guy showed up at my office and and the repair my laptop. He told me that my LCD burned out and that's why the monitor was very dark and I can barely see what's on it. After the repair when I told him about how noisy my fan is, he tried to clean it for me but unfortunately, after cleaning the fan, the system wasn't booting up anymore due to fan failure. He said he will come back with a new fat and a new CD-RW combo drive tomorrow if they have stock.
Next day, he showed up again and he fixed the fan and exchange my CD drive. It was very fast and every thing was free of charge. He even told me that if my machine wasn't under warranty at the moment, I will have to pay about 1000S$ for the LCD panel. It is damn too expensive humm. But luckily, I don't need to pay a cent at all. A simple "THANK YOU" and a hand shake was the only thing I had to give him.
What I want to say is, the importance of the warranty. And the service provided by IBM. The machine is not only better than other brands, they also offer a great service. Normally if something happen to your machine, you need to go to service center to repair it. But for IBM, they come to your home, office, anywhere in Singapore to repair it on the sport with adequate spare parts. Thanks to IBM, my durable, rigid IBM ThinkPad T43 is back in business.

FIGHT AGAINST TIME (HELP BURMA!!!)
It's been 6 days since the cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar and the situation is getting worse day by day due to the decomposed animals and human lying around the effected areas. Recent days, we had witnessed the generosity of the world as the humanitarian aid in millions of dollars. But it is very sad to find out that Burmese government is hesitating to grant visa to UN aid workers and NGOs in the name of politics. It is not the time for politics during the time of humanitarian crisis. And it is very sad to hear on news that the western nations are willing to provide the aid needing by the cyclone Nargis victims while Burmese government is refusing to accept them.
Today first UN aid plane has landed in Yangon International Airport after 2 days delay due to the visa issues. And more planes are waiting permission from Burmese government to land in Yangon. Italy, Thai, India and Indonesia aid planes had been allowed to land in Yangon. We have seen the death toll increasing dramatically over the days.
What we desperately need is experience aid works and rescue units to help the survivors, to dispose the dead bodies properly and to control the deadly diseases. We need helicopters to go to the most remote areas where the aid is greatly needed. In Burmese air force, we have limited numbers of helicopters and they won't be able to help those from remote areas. US military is offering aid mission. The US airbase in Thailand is ready to send its helicopters and ships to Burma for search and rescue mission. And again, Burmese generals are not going to accept the offer because they are Americans. This is not the time for like or dislike. This is the time to save as much people as we can.
I was so surprised to see that dead people being dump into the rivers. I'm wondering what they are thinking. It won't solve the problem by throwing the dead bodies in to the river. In fact, it will endanger the people who are living along the river bank with deadly diseases.
In a matter of days, the death toll will increase again. This time it is not going to be devastating force of the cyclone Nargis, but it is going to be the poor health care and reluctance to accept the aid workers around the world by the generals of Burma. And this time the government will also be responsible for the dead of tens of thousands of Burmese in Burma. Their ignorance to the early warning of the cyclone Nargis and reluctance to accept the aid from around the world will be the main cause of people dying in our country. And we will never forget how people are being killed during 1988, September 2007 and May 2008.

Bye Bye April
April, the month of expense. Yes, I had to spend all my salary on this month. Treating my friends, doing some guy things and try to repair my things. My phone just die on me and it cost me a lot of money to repair it. Drinking, eating and having fun also cost me a lot. Ohh yeah, I had a VIP treatment at Attica. Opened a bottle MOET & CHANDON Champagne and drunk with my buddy. It was a wild night yet we had tons of fun. April was a month fill with fun. I had a great time this April. But at the same time it gave me a lot of bad things. One example, my phone was broken. Later I realized that I was turned down for the amount I was asking for my salary increment. And this week I realized that my laptop is dying on me. The LCD is not working anymore and I don't know how much I have to spend on it. Lucky that my 3 years warranty is still valid till next month.
Well hopefully May will bring better conditions for me. And April, good bye and I'll see you again next year. Better be good next year though.

Bye Bye to Bitter Sweet Memories
People say time fly so fast and I have to agree with that. Time indeed fly very very fast. April has always been a month to remember for me. And yes, it was a month to remember for me this year. But I have to admit that it wasn't as special as last year.
Recalling my memories to last year April, when I got back from YGN, she was there waiting for me to change my life. I still remember the moment we had that day and they day after that and the very bluey Saturday, 28 April 2007. And the moment I punched the wall. I wasn't thinking anything at that time and I don't even know why I hit the wall. But to tell you the truth, it hurts. I especially miss the moment before I hit the wall. It was an incredible moment in my life. It was so good that I don't think I could ever forget.
After all those sweet things, here come the bitter part. The train ride to Cityhall MRT station was very hard for me and coming back home alone was the worst part. Well, I can accept the fact that there is always two sides on every situation, always two stories. From one side it might be sweet but on the other hand it might be a bit bitter.
Well, what done is done and the past will always be in the past and we have to accept the fact that we can't change it back. We can't glue a broken glass back to its original condition. Even though we can put it back together, it won't be the same anymore.
This morning a friend of mine send me a few songs and one of them is a song by Mariah Carey and it's called "Bye Bye".
