F1 weekend

First time in years I finally manage to watch the race live from the grandstand. For many years I been watching it from the hill stand(cheaper mah). The experience is slightly different. By the end of the race, I was having neck pain from chasing the car accelerating from the last corner thru the main straight. I am so much closer to the car and the sound of the F1 engine was fantastic. For those who watch F1, too bad Ferrari lost the first corner and hence the race. Lets hope they will recover and win the WDC and WCC(yes, I am a Ferrari fan). I find that the circuit is not maintained well. There is sign of ageing and poor maintainance even on the grandstand. I hope Bernie Ecclestone do not pull the plug on Malaysia Grandprix because if he does, we Malaysian will lose the chance the watch F1 live with cheaper tickets. Although the ticket is cheap, the food and beverages is not. A set of hotdog, dessert and drink cost RM25. A can of beer is RM 16 and a can of softdrink is RM5. I guess if the fans are willing to pay RM410 for a F1 Tee shirt, what is RM25?

Avid Ferrari fans...

Watering the lawn

Its been 8 months since I last go to work hence the title. I have been watering my lawn for months.Yes, Thats what I have been doing. My neighbour, my children's teachers, my parents and almost all my close friends and relatives are worried. They kept asking when am I going back to work. I dont know really, I am still getting paid basic salary but my company is not interested in giving me something to do?!

The plus point that I can see is that I get to send and pick up my kids to and from school since Jan07. I get to see them grow up. I have also taken over the house job ie I am now a house husband. I cook, clean the house, get the kids ready for school and wait for my wife to come back from work. I learn to plant flowers and appreciate plants. I lead a healthier life too, get to exercise almost everyday. Life is full of UPs and DOWNs. What people perceived as DOWN can be UP for me. I have learned to look at everything in a positive way. Nothing is impossible in life and its only impossible when we want it to be.

Days out at Sepang F1 Circuit

All the F1 teams(actually one team didnt show up) came to Sepang for a three days test which was further extended to four days total. The Sepang F1 Track was open to the public. Public get to view the team testing from the grandstand. Wohoo! I brought the whole family there to let them experience the sights and sounds of a Formula1 car. I know I enjoyed it, hopefully my wife and kids does as well.
