Did any of ktards went to any of the venue of Arctic Monkeys Asian Tour? How did you find their performance?

I personally feel grateful that I was able to watch them live. Been a fan since the first album and I am thankful that I have the privilege to see them and hear them live.

Their live shows always sound good. Even better their studio recordings.

Anyone here watch Clarkson's Farm?

vavaya — Sun, 11 Jul 2021 08:24:45 +0800

I just atarted watching this yesterday. A few episodes in. I never thought I would enjoy watching a show about farming. But it is really entertaining. Clarkson has good chemistry with all the cast. The banter is funny.

The storytelling is good, in the beginning he faced all sorts of problems. Clarkson didn't bring his idiot with no practical skill too much, maybe a little because he has never done this before, which is understandable. It makes you root for him. Hoping all comes together.

If you are a fan of Top Gear, you are going to love this.

Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team

vavaya — Mon, 14 Oct 2019 11:22:29 +0800

The Mercedes F1 team has clinched the World Constructors Championship for the sixth time in a row. They will also secure a Driver's championship soon with only Hamilton and Bottas left to fight for the championship. This will make them the only team to have 6 double titles in a row. Which basically means that they dominated the whole of the Turbo-Hybrid era.

Do you think they are the greatest sports team in history? If not, who do you think deserves the title?

Fernando Alonso: McLaren's Spanish driver to retire from Formula 1 at end of season

14 August 2018 Formula 1

Spanish two-time world champion Fernando Alonso has announced he is to retire from Formula 1 at the end of the season.

The McLaren driver will end a career that began with a debut for Minardi at the Australian Grand Prix of 2001.

Alonso, 37, who is competing in his 17th F1 season, won the 2005 and 2006 championships when racing for Renault.

"After 17 wonderful years in this amazing sport it's time for me to make a change and move on," he said.

"I made this decision some months ago and it was a firm one. There are still several grands prix to go this season, and I will take part in them with more commitment and passion than ever," he added.

"Let's see what the future brings; new exciting challenges are around the corner. I'm having one of the happiest times ever in my life but I need to go on exploring new adventures."

'An unbelievable talent - F1 will be a poorer place without Alonso'
How does Alonso compare to the F1 greats?

Alonso has in recent years branched out into other series and in June he won the Le Mans 24 Hours sportscar race at his first attempt.

He joined Toyota's World Endurance Championship (WEC) programme this season with the aim of winning Le Mans, and has dovetailed it with F1.

That victory provided him with the second part of motorsport's 'triple crown'. Twice a Monaco Grand Prix winner, he is only missing Indianapolis 500 success.

He competed in the Indy 500 for the only time to date in May 2017, retiring towards the end of the race with engine failure, having run strongly throughout and led for a total of 27 laps.

Only Englishman Graham Hill has won all three classic races in the history of motorsport.

Alonso ended Michael Schumacher's five-year dominance of the drivers' championship when he won the first of his titles in 2005.

At the time, he became the youngster ever driver to win the title.

He has also finished championship runner-up three times, and to date has achieved 32 wins, 22 pole positions and 97 podium finishes.

In his statement confirming he would retire at the end of this season, he suggested there may be a chance of him one day returning.

"I want to thank everyone at McLaren," he said. "My heart is with the team forever.

"I know they will come back stronger and better in the future and it could be the right moment for me to be back in the series; that would make me really happy."

'Thank you, for being my life'
Alonso tweeted a video 'letter' to F1 in which he said:

You were not expecting me and I wasn't sure I wanted to get to know you.

When I barely knew how to walk, I ran towards your noise, your circuits, without knowing anything about you,

We had very good times, some unforgettable, others really bad. We have played together, against incredible rivals. You played with me, and I learned how to play with you too.

I have seen you changing, sometimes for good, sometimes in my opinion for bad. Every time i close the visor of my helmet I feel your warm embrace, your energy, there is nothing like it.

But today I have some other bigger challenges than those you can offer me. And this year, while I am still driving at my best, is how I want to remember you.

I can only be grateful to you and to the people that are part of you, for having introduced to me so many cultures, traditions, languages, wonderful people, for having been my life.

I know you love me, be certain that I love you too.

Let's Help Baby Hana

vavaya — Wed, 30 May 2018 18:08:34 +0800

Hi k/ sekalian,

I'm writing to appeal for your goodwill to together help a friend of mine, who is in dire need of funds to pay for the operation cost for her baby girl who has biliary atresia.

The full details is as per article published by Harian Metro below:

Kuala Lumpur: Ketika orang lain lena diulit mimpi, Abdul Salam Amir Hamzah Maju, 29, dan isterinya, Siti Sarah Othman, 29, terpaksa bersengkang mata menjaga bayi mereka yang kerap terjaga pada waktu malam berikutan menghidap kegagalan fungsi hati atau biliary atresia.

Abdul Salam berkata, Hana Sofea, 9 bulan, kerap meragam dan menangis terutama pada waktu malam disebabkan tidak selesa, selain minum susu menggunakan tiub yang dipasang melalui hidung ke perut disebabkan penyakit yang dialaminya itu sejak lahir.

“Ini dapat dilihat apabila dia kerap menangis, sukar tidur dan cepat penat.

“Tumbesarannya terbantut. Menyusu pun dia kurang sebab itu doktor menyarankan pakai tiub yang dimasukkan melalui hidung ke perut,” katanya.

Menurutnya, anak keduanya itu pernah menjalani pembedahan pintasan pada Oktober tahun lalu, namun keadaannya tidak berubah.

“Setiap bulan kami ke Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya (PPUM) untuk membuat rawatan susulan.

“Namun, semakin lama keadaannya tetap sama malah kulit dan matanya semakin kuning, najisnya pucat, perut kembung dan badannya semakin susut,” katanya.

Kata penjawat awam itu, pakar perubatan mencadangkan bayinya segera menjalani pemindahan hati di China selepas Aidilfitri ini bagi mengelak keadaan kesihatannya bertambah buruk, namun mereka mempunyai kekangan untuk menyediakan kos RM250,000.

“Saya dan isteri sesuai menjadi penderma hati anak, namun siapa yang layak diputuskan pakar perubatan di China nanti.

“Setakat ini kami cuma mampu menyediakan RM50,000 hasil sumbangan keluarga dan rakan. Jadi kami tidak meminta lebih melainkan mengharapkan belas ihsan rakyat Malaysia supaya dapat menyumbang seikhlas hati buat kelangsungan hidup anak kami,” katanya.

Orang ramai yang ingin meringankan beban pasangan berkenaan boleh berbuat demikian dengan menyalurkan sumbangan ke akaun Maybank 162834011539 atau CIMB 7047200483 atas nama ibu bayi itu, Siti Sarah Othman atau Bank Rakyat 221121142721 (Abdul Salam Amir).

Question on RON rating

vavaya — Thu, 24 May 2018 22:01:00 +0800

In this picture, Danny Ric is refueling his Aston Martin in LA. I believe he is pumping RON87 in his car. I thought all those performance cars must pump at a higher octane rating?

Look at the RON rating for Shell Vpower Racing, at RON91 only. Here in Bolehland, Vpower Racing is RON100 iinm, while RON95 is fuel for peasants. We so high keras meh?

How come?

Booking Got Cancelled By Resort

vavaya — Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:16:00 +0800

I have made reservations for a trip for Pulau Redang last February for May 10th-12th.
For a bachelors' holiday as two of my friends are getting married in June

However, this morning I received a call from the resort I booked that since there were a mix up for my reservations, they had no choice but to cancel my booking due to lack of rooms on dates I booked.

I was very pissed because they inform me about this on such short notice. I asked them to put me to another resort in the Island, but the person said that there were no other rooms available for other resorts as well.
So I asked them to find another resort on any other Island on the East Coast. I just don't care anymore, as long as we can hang out for the last time as bachelors.

I would like to ask for advice on what to do in this problem?

I have tried making calls to other resorts on other Islands, but they are all fully booked.

We have a budget of RM400.00 per person as of now.

Please advise
