Happy Birthday Ryne...

Today is my son's birthday. So Happy Birthday Ryne... can't believe you are eight now. It was like yesterday I was holding you on my arms as a little baby.

Bought Ryne a Ben 10 cake. He loves it until he taste it... didn't like it. Luckily me and my wife like it (well... I only eat the white chocolate... don't like cakes).

It is Guy Fawkes Night in the UK. They celebrate this night by building bonfires and fireworks displays. A very hectic night for the UK firemen ;) . Anyway I told Ryne that they burn fireworks to celebrate his birthday... he smiled proudly but I know he knew that I was only joking.

Ryne... Abah and Mama loves you very much. Have fun and enjoy life like an 8 year old kid should.

Barack Obama... first black US President...

Change has come to the US as they elected Barack Obama as their first black President. The dream of Martin Luther King finally came true. Who have thought that the US will have a black President. Well... there goes all the black president jokes.

Barack Obama won millions of the US voters hearts not just by his cool charisma and unflappy style but also a well calculated campaign through the use of the internet and new technology thus getting his message to all his voters especially the young, susceptible-to-change voters. This is what happen to Malaysia where Pakatan Rakyat used the internet to get their message through to voters. Conclusion.... internet rules..!

Wouldn't have dreamed of a black US President but hey... if you have the will and guts... anything is possible. The US is truly the land where hopes and dreams can become a reality. Will Malaysia have a non-Malay PM? I like to think yes but not in this century. We are not ready yet... not as mature as the US... it took them over 200 years to have a black President.

As I watched the news of the newly elected 44th President of the United States of America... one thing becomes apparent. The US people really wanted a change. Why? There is no mention of the 43rd President any where in the news during and after the campaign... nada... zero... Bush who? They really want to forget his gun-ho cowboy years as President.

I wonder if Malaysia's 5th PM will suffer the same fate... what is that guys name? Pak Lah who?

Khairy Jamaluddin demonised..?

Khairy Jamaluddin... showing his true colors of being a cry baby... recently gave an exclusive interview to the Malay Mail which he claims he is being demonised. Well... Rocky has something to say in this new revelation... read here.

Khairy is currently been lagging in votes in the Umno Youth's chief race. Cheer up Khairy... you have already passed the minimum requirement to run for election, why sulking like a cry baby? Is it because you are being hounded with articles like this and this and this? Haiya... take it like a true leader la... don't sulk. Like you said... Just look at my track records... well... read this and see what track record you are boosting about. Oh... you have a track record of winning post uncontested... that I can remember.

My comment..... hahahahahahaha... hahahahahaha... hahahahahahahahaha... hahahahahahahaha... hahahahahaha... what a bunch of crap coming out from your mouth... looking at your picture in the Malay Mail, I think you realize it too.

Lewis Hamilton wins the F1 Championship...

I have been an admirer of this kid since he burst into the F1 scene last year. It was heart breaking last year when he lost the F1 Championship by 1 point on the last day of the race.

Today's race was nail-biting... nearly giving me a heart attack. Felipe Massa was in pole position all day... meaning Hamilton needs to finish 5th or Massa will clinch the title. Hamilton did it the hard way. On the final lap, he was 6th when he was passed by Vettel. I was swearing like hell... Hamilton blew it again I thought... damn it. He was pressing like bat out of hell but the car just could not pass Vettel.

But with 2 corners to go... Vettel and Hamilton passed the 4th place Toyota's Timo Glock..! Apparently Glock choice of tyres made him slow as snail for the final lap (it was raining the last 4 laps). Ferrari was cheering as they thought Hamilton finished 6th but the last laugh was Hamilton as he finished 5th over taking Glock.

Hamilton made history as the youngest ever F1 Champion at 23. He became the first black champion and first Briton since Damon Hill to win the F1 top prize. Judging from his driving... I am sure he will be winning championship for years to come. All we need now is for Mc Laren team to continue supporting this kid. We are looking at a legend in a making.
