Onward to Vientiane!
The Opening ceremony’s about 24 hours away. If you’re seeing this page, that can only mean one thing. I’ve gone to Laos and for the next 2 weeks. I’m going to be there cheering the Malaysian team on, irregardless of how many medals they are bringing back.
An estimate of 300 to 400-member Malaysian contingent is already there getting themselves used to the food, weather and the sports village. 2 games: the Water Polo and Football has already begun.
Chef-de-Mission for Laos, Datuk Dr Ramlan Abdul Aziz had indicated that the Malaysian contingent would participate in 21 of the 25 sports hosted. I wonder how many medals will the Malaysian team bring back. No matter what, I’m looking forward to seeing our boys and girls do well. Will try to update with details and photos here (if I can find an internet connection to upload them). If I can’t get online, I’ll see you guys and update mikeyip.com in about 2 weeks time. (more…)

Bahrain GP Race Result
Jenson Button has taken victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix from fourth on the starting grid. The World Championship leader pulled clear of the chasing pack as Sebastian Vettel and pole-sitter Jarno Trulli completed the rostrum. Champion Hamilton finished fourth as Kimi Räikkönen scored Ferrari’s first points of the year.
Jenson Button had strong doubts over his chances in the Bahrain Grand Prix, especially after qualifying fourth on the grid in qualifying. Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock were the men to steal the show on Saturday by taking Toyota’s first ever front row lockout, with Sebastian Vettel’s heavier fuelled Red Bull lining up third. Temperatures soared to 38°C (100°F) at the start of the race, as weather conditions couldn’t have been any different to those in China last weekend. (more…)

You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called ‘Cowkimon’ and market them World-Wide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves. (more…)
