As most of you know (i hope u do read the news), the past few days in KL has been nothing but rain rain rain and floods. Seriously, my area, wake up morning, see the ground wet, afternoon panas giler, thn late evening, heavy thunderstorms. One evening, the thunder was so loud, that some cars in the parking lot had their alams go off!
And the worse thing about a flood in KL is that other areas that are not affected by it, will be affected by the traffic jam! Like last Sunday, me and my friends were on the way back from MidValley after watchin Ocean's 13 (will talk about it shortly), it took us a bloody 1 hour + to get back when on a normal day, it would only take us 20 mins. At first we thought got WTF accident, but after passing through a bridge near PWTC and seeing ALOT of passers by and police/bomba lookin over, we guessed it could be 1) car terjunam into river 2)banjir.
Only after readin the next days papers did i know how bad it was, took just 4 hours to flood KL town eh? Cos we took some of the exact same roads mentioned in the papers to get from my place to MV and at that time, traffic was smooth (although it was rainin bloody heavily in Setapak area, like taufan !!). Thn for the next few days, luckily i have friends who drive to college or else i'd be either stuck there till very late or skipping classes all together :P. And looking at the sky rite now, i think it will rain again in about n hour or so time. >.<..
Anyways, nuff bout the weather, Ocean's 13 was good. Not as good as the first but still, one of the better 3rd movies tat came out this yr (ie Spidey 3 n Shrek 3.. havent seen Pirates yet :( ). Too bad this time dun have Julia Roberts or Cat Z. Jones for a certain level of eye candy la (certain cos they are old d but still kinda hot :P). But with all Ocean movies, just watching them go ahead with their plans flawlessly is sweetness enuf :D. Even the French dude from Ocean's 12 had a 5 - 10 min cameo appearance. Oh, wanna know how 3 grown men wept in 1 scene ? - watching Oprah!! Gotta see it to get my drift.
On another note, this year's Canadian Grand Prix was by far the most thrilling and exciting race of recent years! Lets see, 4 safety car incidents, several cars hitting the barrier and 1 lucky Pole surviving a made-for-Hollywood stunt scene with only minor bruising and a sprained ankle and a rookie 22 year old winning the race from pole! Oh another good thing for the sport, 2nd n 3rd place for once this season was not a McLaren nor a Ferarri. BMW Sauber 2nd weh!! Malaysia boleh! haha. Another surprising thing i saw, a Super Aguri (a new Japanese based team, can say one of the lowest ranking teams) had enough power to overtake a Ferarri and a McLaren (sad though)!!
During the post race interview, race winner Lewis Hamilton even said that he'd been ready for his first carreer win for sometime now, only matter of where it will happen. And that being behind the safety car for each of the 4 times was making him bored! Well, i guess when ur average speed on the track is 190-220+ km/h but when the safety car is out, its only like 80-100 +, it can get abit boringla -.-. As for the crash of the day, Robert Kubica, 23 or younger i think, hit a hairpin( a kind of corner, not something u use to clip ur hair -.-) at 280 km/h causing his car to as we'd say, totalled. Thanks to F1 tech, he was discharged from the hospital last monday with a clean bill of health. Too bad Alonso didn't have a race to remember, but neither did both the Ferraris so i'm contented with that :D. Massa kena black flagged ( means direct disqualification).. bodoh.. hahaha :P
How i wish i was rite there where all the action was ... but then again, don't think my current financial status will allow me to do so >.<~ . But hey, by watching it on TV, at least i'll have the comfort of my home and snacks that dont cost 500% more rite?
Hmmm.. i need to buy some honey cos i'm starting to lose my voice.. >.< *i wont mention any names :P*
