Chelsea Training Session @ Shah Alam Stadium

Filed Under Big Boys Toys, Events, Photography, Sports

5.30pm, that’s the time I arrived at the Shah Alam Stadium, all nicely geared up with what I need to shoot some photos at the venue. I know for sure is I got alot of stares from the entrance all the way to where I get my seat. If you’ve no idea why, just have a good look at my jersey!

Anyway, I’m planning to wear like that again for the match day. Of course, not this same jersey but Man Utd’s home jersey, the red one. I was told by IcyQueenGoddess that she’d be going in her red Liver (chokes.. I couldn’t complete the sentence) jersey as well. So i wonder whether we’ll live through the night or not.

Running of the Bull @ Pamplona

Filed Under Sports

This is something different, no, I still don’t support Red Bull Racing when it comes to F1. BUT, this is nice, the annually held Running of the bull event has always held an intrigue for me and this is just basically awesome when David Coulthard and Sebastien Bourdais travelled to Pamplona for a special street demonstration.

The street demo took them through many narrow streets towards the bull arena where both Coulthard and Bourdais completed a few donats.

Few in Pamplona had a better time than Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard. The British pilot was visibly moved as he got out of his car at the end of the run. “I’m ever so proud to have been a part of this very special event”, he said, as he returned the applause the public regaled him with. Coulthard’s bullpen partner, Sébastien Bourdais, had to agree: “I’d seen bits, on TV, but now I know this has to be really amazing, seen live”, though he was quick to point out he’d have to be crazy ever to run in front of a real bull.

Check out this video of the event.

McLaren’s Hamilton Howler

Filed Under Sports

I know I’m 3 days too late in posting this but then, heck, I’ve been busy!

Anyway, looking at the Canadian GP Flashback, I’m really disappointed with Lewis Hamilton. I’m no McLaren fan mind you. I’m disappointed with Lewis for doing such a silly error in the Pitlane, practically a rookie mistake that only rookies in their first years would have done. 10 Grid Penalty doesn’t seem like a just punishment for this Driver, I say they should also fine him a good $100,000 as well along with the 10 Grid Penalty @ the next race. That’ll be more like it.

I guess you can say… Like Father, Like Son.
