The Return Of F1 Superhero

Yup - Michael Schumacher is returning to F1 racing.

It was actually Massa's injury that prompted Schumi to come back, since Ferrari will be left with only 1 driver. Massa was hit by an object that falls off from Rubens's car (which makes me wonder - Is Brawn's car not safe at all ? ) and had to undergo operation. He is now awake but doc rules out racing for the time being.

Naturally, and logically, Schumi was requested to fill-in as he is one of the best in Ferrari and perhaps in the whole F1.

Now the season should be more interesting, and I sure look forward to it ....

Go go go Schumi !!!!

Home Alone With Daniel For 3 Months

Yup... that will be the case for upcoming 3 months.

My syg is leaving for Japan next week and will only be back in November. Huhu... I am going to miss him so much... Usually I am the one going overseas most of the time. Now is my syg's turn.

I sure gonna miss him. Maybe if I have enough savings, I will go over to Japan. Cuti-cuti Japan ma .... Kekekeke...

Change In Work Routine

Following the succesfull launch of RazakSAT, there is a change now in my work routine. No longer I enjoy the benefit of working 8 - 5.

My work timing now is 7 am to 7pm, next day 7pm tp 7am, and off on the third day. Fourth day is back to 7am to 7pm. So, in total, I worked 60 hours every week instead of 40 hours. And I worked on Sat and Sun as well. You must be wondering if I do get any off days. Well, I do. In fact, every 3rd week of the month, I work morning shift (7am to 7pm) and I get off on Sat, Sun and Mon. Sounds cool huh ? But is much more tiring, as I get less than 6 hours of rest.

Wonder if there is any incentives for us that works on shift basis ?

Finally - RazakSAT Is Launched

After years and years of putting it off, finally RazakSAT blasted off from the ground on 3.35 UTC, 14th July 2009 from Omelek Island at Kwajelein Atoll using Falcon-1 rocket.

Now I truly understand what it feels like tobe able to see the satellite successfully launched into its orbit. And it is a special orbit indeed - the first satellite to ever orbit from this position - Near Equatorial Orbit. So this means, it passes over Malaysia and other equatorial countries more frequently compared to a sun-synchronous orbit.

To watch the video of the launch, just go here ....

Istanbul Trip

This is way too long to update on my last trip, but nevetheless, I shall do it...

Istanbul was certainly a great trip - one that I enjoyed much, coz not much pressure. Adalah sikit-sikit gabrah time want to present. Nasib baik my presentation is on Day 1. After presentation, enjoy sakan ...

The day when we arrived pun da start enjoy .... Kekekeke, we took our time to visit all the famous places like Tokapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Spice Market and its surrounding area. Best part is, all these places are within walking distance. No matter how near, by 5pm (Isttanbul time) we were already dragging our feet. We felt so tired that we dont have the energy to continue further. Can't blame us - we made a transit earlier at Dubai, and the seat in MAS wasnt really at all comforting. It was the old Airbus, and the business class seats was not like Boeing.

But we did enjoyed the first day. It was an eye opening trying to bargain our way at Grand Bazaar. The traders were all trying to be friendly, but we have learned that it was part of their way to get us stay at their shop and try to sell things to us. The same goes to traders at Spice Market. They go all out to attempt some friendly conversations. And most of the time - they start off with saying hello - be it in Mandarin, Japanese, Korean but never in BM. What you expect - 2 Chinse looking fellas walking around.

We did try and eat fresh fish sandwishes as well, though by the time we really get to eat the sandwiches, it was cold already. But delicious nevertheless.

We were also treated to a boat trip along the Bosphorous River. It was truly a magnificant view - on one side is the Eastern Turkey and the other side is the Europe Turkey. Luckily we were attending the conference. All participants of the conference were treated to a boat tour on the 1st day itself.

Rest of the days were spent in the Military Museum, attending conference. On the 2nd last day, we did walked around some more - along the Istikal Caddesi or Road if Independence. Bought more souvenirs (a.k.a Turkish delights) for family and friends. Hope our bag doesnt go over the limit of 20kg.

Now, for the photos ....

Since I have problem uploading the photos here, kindly go to my Facebook to view yeah ... :)
