The past few years i have been fortunate enough to find myself among the fans in the grandstand and last year, i was invited by Bernard. In 2009, Jenson Button and Brawn GP were making all the headlines in F1. Already being ditched by Honda before the 2009 season even started, no one, no one expected them to be in the position that they were at by the end of the season. The Sepang Circuit notoriously known for it’s crazy weather change lived up to it’s nickname as the Hottest and Wettest F1 race amongst the circuit. You could have a blazing hot sun at the beginning of the race and a heavy downpour to end the race in style. Having the race in the month of April which is the month where the wind changes around South East Asia, heavy downpour are very unpredictable, thus playing an important part in the race in terms of tires being used. I could remember how Ferrari were stuck with 2 cars in the pits years ago to change to wet tires but Schuey eventually won the race.

MAS Cabin crew – What does it take to become one ?
Missing the sea breeze in Redang. Boooohoooo not going for the Langkawi trip. Jess and friends must be having a hell of a time This entry has been long over due, lol. First of all, i wanna thank Malaysia Airlines for the invite and also not forgetting Jonathan for organizing this event I was fortunate enough to experience what is it like or rather what does it take to be a cabin crew in an airline, specifically MAS. If you didn’t know MAS has been named Skytrax’s World’s Best Cabin Staff this year and that has totalled up to 6 times. Definitely not an easy feat. Upon arrival, i thought i was the first one because i saw no one in the hall but just to find out that everyone was at the cafetaria having breakfast. It was after 20 minutes or so that the program started.
Meet the Parents: Intro
There i was at the gate waiting for someone let me in and after ringing the bell a few times, her father walked towards the gate with a rotan. I was thinking i was about to get some butt-whipping but it was used on Husky, their dog. After chasing Husky to his corner, i breezed through the porch and into the hall. As i waited patiently for her to dress up *she did this on purpose so i would have some time spent with either her parents*, her father joined me in the hall. I never felt so nervous and knowing that i can talk just about anything to anyone, i didn’t know why i felt i had a lock-jaw >.<! My first impression was obviously important and so i did strike a topic to break the silence. So uncle how was your Japan trip ? It was good good, you should go there one day … and that’s as good as it gets. I thought i started out well but for some reason the following replies just didn’t suit the situation at that very moment. Ermmm so how did Husky do? Who ? Ermmmm Husky … your dog ?

Malaysian Dream Girls: Catwalk
I have been updating less and less on my blog because i am just too tied up with my thesis writing as well as Malaysian Dream Girl, lol. The ridiculously slow internet connection just isn’t helping either. Anyway i finally got my photogallery up and in order after neglecting it for more than a year. Revamped it and deleted lots and lots of album after i decided to change hosting company. I have been asked to post whatever i have taken at any Malaysian Dream Girl session and i actually did. It’s all in the gallery. But be warned, none of the pictures there are edited. I just don’t have the time to edit one by one, further more my notebook just doesn’t cut it when it comes to having my Photoshop, iTunes, Firefox and all messengers running at the same time. It simply tortoises its way around >.<! Acha, Dawn, Denezia, Farah, Juanita Liana, Maya, Ming, Natasha, Pinky, Shasya I am finally done with my writing in MDG’s blog. So if you wanna read more, just head over to MalaysianDreamGirl’s website Finally updated on their recent photoshoot. Now i wonder who goes through. Any thoughts ? For those who

Where in the world is room 0001 ?
I just got back from probably one of the easiest paper i have sat so far and i am no where satisfied. It all started off with me leaving like ten minutes before the paper is suppose to start. I reached the building and started scouting for the examination room that i am should be in ” Well it states in this paper, the venue is room 0001″, i murmured to myself. Then i came to room 0008 and walked down the corridor, counting down to the numbers stated above the doors. 0007 0006 0005 0004 0003 …….? ” Where is 0002 and 0001 ???” I panicked. So i ran to a nearby guard and asked him. “Have you tried looking outside of the building ?”, he asked me @_____@! Outside ? I thought to myself this fella is either high on glue or probably haven’t had enough sleep. I told him it’s ok and walked off. Feeling bad, he called me and said maybe it’s upstairs. “But if it’s upstairs then it will start will like 1001, 1002, etc,” i replied. Yet i ended up walking on the upper floors just for the benefit of doubt finding for this

Nuffnang = Cambodia
I am finally back! Well let me say that i am very excited to see what 2009 have installed for me. In slightly more than a week from now, i will be off to Cambodia for 6 days with 6 friends of mine and that is definitely gonna have me missing from my blog yet again. The idea of Cambodia was first conceived when i was strolling about on the sandy beach of Redang Island after a crazy day at Nipple Island. Initially, in the morning, i received a call from my mum saying i had cheques from Nuffnang and that she had already banked it in. Knowing i had extra cash in hand, i jokingly asked William and Angeline, … “Come let’s go Cambodia ….” William was fast to say he was in. I can’t even be sure if he even took time to think Angeline on the hand took probably a few seconds longer before agreeing to join the bandwagon … … and that’s how things got rolling. One by one the rest joined in, Lee May, Aaron, Ai Ling and Emily. I am excited, everyone is excited cause no one knows what is gonna happen as our

Crocs are ridiculously expensive
That’s practically the first thing that pops up in my head. Crocs are just overpriced pieces of plastic especially in Malaysia compared to the US. I never even considered owning a pair till i spoke to my dad on the phone the other day. I told him i heard Crocs will be having year end sales and i asked if it was worth getting since he has a pair of Crocs slippers. You see, the main problem i have with Crocs besides their daylight-robbery-price-tags are their designs. I am not saying all their designs are awful but majority are. And i would rather spend on something else than to pay so much to look weird. Back to my dad, he told me to have a look and get a pair if possible cause the pasar-malam slippers i have been getting all these years are just in baddd, i mean really baddddddddddd when it comes to walking on cement. There’s just no grip. After double checking the address from Jolene’s blog, i headed off towards Subang airport and arrived about 4.30pm. It wasn’t any fancy warehouse sale like those i have been in Bangsar, etc but rather a canopy was raised

Malaysian Ringgit had the same value as Singaporean Dollar
Well that’s what one Singaporean lady told me when i was queueing at Burger King for my lunch. I was actually at Singapore Expo that particular day and since it was lunch hour, i thought of giving Burger King a try since they do serve pork compared to Malaysia. So as i was lining up, i took my wallet off to reach for a ten dollar bill. I was scanning through the notes until i came to an orangish, yellowish bill. As i pulled it out my eyes grew larger and larger till it clearly showed … “$10 – Sepuluh Ringgit Negara Brunei” I was like goodness gracious, where’s the 10 dollar Sing that was suppose to be there. My reaction was so noticable that a lady on the next queue patted my shoulder and said not to worry, the value is the same as Singaporean Dollar. I sighed in relief and said, “Really ? That was a close call.” LOL Then i was given a brief history lesson about currencies by this lady Once upon a time, when your parents were still in their teens …. (ok i made that up). Many decades ago, when Malaysia was just formed,

Genting Trailblazer 2008
I am finally back … back in the blogging world, LOL. I have so much to write but so little time to do so. When i eventually have the time, i am either hibernating like a bear or in front of my tv. Can’t wait to get back to track with all my work being piled up every since Deepavali. Speaking of Deepavali, my parents got back from Japan on Deepavali’s day itself and YES they got me another Hard Rock Cafe shirt, hahahaha. In my previous entry i did mention that i was hoping for something else, i mean it’s Japan for heaven’s sake. An Aibo would be good enough or even a PS3 but nooooooo, i got a shirt instead. Not one but 3 shirts, hahahaha. Anyway i am happy with the shirts, i was actually expecting nothing judging from their tight schedule. The second week i had much more time for myself, so much so that i lost track on the dates of the 2 things that i was really looking out during this break. One was my Singapore trip and the other was Genting Trailblazer. Earlier i thought i would be in Singapore first before heading

The Magic Undies
First i lost a bunch of undies which was conveniently drying out at the drying bay. Then it magically appeared back after 3 days. Since it was old and it roamed to God knows where for 3 days, i decided to discard it. I was then surviving on limited number of undies so it was critical that it dried in time … … but the weather was so unpredictable and the remaining ones couldn’t dry in time -_-” So for the weekend, i resorted in using my speedos. Sigh, i seriously need to get a box of undies soon
