A New "Tiger" Emerged - Brit F1 Rookie - Lewis Hamilton

Today, I saw one caricature that capture my eyes while enjoying my morning breakfast in "theSun" sports section. At first, it looked like the famous "Mawi" but instead it was the young rookie of McLaren Mercedes F1 Team - Lewis Hamilton - Britain's newest superstar. By the way, don't bother checking his website. The official launch will be sometime in mid July.

-------------------------------

After 7 successful podium finishes, there have been a lot of small talk about the chances of this young rookie to be crowned as driver's championship title in his first year. I honestly think that McLaren has made a very wise decision strapping racing belt this young lad into the driver seat. But according to McLaren F1 Team boss, Ron Dennis, no F1 driver can instantly achieve these results and become the championship contender at a short period of time. Well, Ron, you're dead wrong. With a comfortable 10 points lead, teammate Alonso would have to work very hard to defend his title & this Spanish bull will never give up.

Some might think that McLaren would like to create a world history by winning the driver's and the constructor's title (which both are British) and at the same time being the youngest "FIA Formula One World Driver Championship" at the age of 22. If that happens, it would be the only kind of "Hall of Fame".

But there's 10 more races to go. In Formula One, anything can just happen. We'll wait and see.

2006 UPSR Achievement Awards

June 23 2007 @ Grand Season Hotel - The date where my daughter Sabrina received a 2006 Achievement Certificate from DBKL organised by NADI Tuition Program all over Kuala Lumpur primary & secondary schools. Not only that, she also received cash amount of RM 150 for her success in getting full straight 5A's. She had the "funny" wide smile on her face.

Well, it was very crowded as we arrived at the registration booth. Just imagine both students & parents rushing to get into the Ball Room for the best seats available. Unfortunately, the seats were insufficient to accommodate about 1000 hungry people. Yep, it was 2.30 pm & the VIP has not arrived yet till just after 3 pm.

Both of us had a very light breakfast that morning....but that did not concern Sabrina as she had her "gang" talking & giggling at one corner of the hall. They would have a lot to talk about after being separated for 8 months though.

After receiving the cash & certificate, round about 5 pm, we were asked to go to a different hall for the light refreshments. Remember those 1000 hungry people? In 30 minutes, all there's left are the desserts. We managed to get the good stuff but I noticed that those parents who lived just outskirt of KL have left the hotel earlier to avoid traffic jam.

Anyway, Sabrina was very happy...since she got all the "gang" new phone numbers.

I wonder what she will do with all that money???
