Sepang F1 Malaysian GP - Race Day

23rd March 2008, the race day of this year's F1 in Sepang, Malaysia. The race starts at 3pm but in order to get a parking slot and not stuck in the traffic, we decided to leave around 12noon to the circuit but somehow we still got stuck in the heavy traffic towards the circuit. This year seems to be more spectators and from the official spectators count, this year has the highest attendance compared to the last 9 years. We reached there around 2pm and because my uncles need to have a look at those official merchandise, we walked to the welcoming area and they were able to get some caps and t-shirts. I was looking for Kimi's cap which is also the one that Kimi wears during the race weekends but failed to find as only Massa's cap is left available sale. After getting all the needs, we went to our seats and immediately i went to the lowest row so that i could get a better view for photoshooting. Throughout the race, i was hoping for accidents to happen during the first corner and also for the rain to come but both didnt happen and was quite a 'boring' race. In the end, Kimi won the race followed by Kubica then Kovalainen. There were only few race incidents but all happened at other parts of the circuit rather than the corner that i was sitting.

F1 Malaysian GP - Qualifying

Here are some quick updates from me on Saturday's qualifying.. Went to the circuit with my dad and we reached there just nice that the session just started. When we were on the way there, the weather seems to be getting more and more cloudy thus we thought that it might rain halfway through the session but somehow it manages to wait for 1 hour before rain starts to fall. Ferraris were able to get the front row while Mclarens booked the 2nd row and tmr will be a tight fight down til the end of the race..if rain falls before start of the race, we might have a nice race where i guess less than half of the grid finishes. Below are some pics that i took for today's qualifying, enjoy...

1 Week Mid Term Break

This week is my last mid term break as this is the last trimester that i'll be in this University. Usually breaks are the time where we can get to take a short while off our busy study schedule and visit our parents and friends at hometown. As for now, during this short 7 days, it will be a very very busy week for me. Today just came back from a 3 days holiday at Genting with my girl girl and also few friends. Then tomorrow onwards, i need to work hard to find some details i need to complete my FYP, then on Thursday, I need to meet my supervisor in KL to do some practical for my FYP. Then this weekend, its the Formula 1 Malaysian GP and most probably i'll be there to witness the 10 year anniversary of organising F1 in Sepang. So kinda busy week but i guess its an enjoyable one..

Streamyx

2 weeks back, the internet connection at my place was so poor that all the downloads were running at a total speed of just 20kbps and the browsing speed was as slow as a turtle crawling for a distance of 1meter. Then i decided to make a complain and it has been quite sometime since the last time i did one. This time was on a Friday so i expect them to fix it on Monday since i called quite late but on Saturday morning around 9am, a technician called me and ask me to check whether any improvement on my speed, i was like, wow, they do act immediately to my complain then the problem solved but few days later the same thing happens again. Due to busy schedule so yday only i did another complain, and this time it took them few hours to settle my problem and today they called few times to check with me about the speed and stability. Personally, i found that their service is quite good or mayb im lucky?? Though they implemented those fair usage policy but at least their technical assistant is quick enough to help me solved my problems without asking me to check this and that anymore, so thumbs up for their service at the moment...haha

Honda F1 Road Show

Honda Malaysia organised their Honda F1 Road Show prior to the Malaysian GP around Malaysia. So they were in Sunway Pyramid last week to showcase last year's race car, RA107, together with the race engine, merchandise and also some competition and also Honda models to attract people over. I was back hometown for the weekend for the general election so then together with my family, we went to Pyramid just to walk around and as i noe there is such roadshow so i brought my camera also to take some photos. The whole roadshow was located at the new wing of Pyramid and many people was there to witness the F1 car and also see those participant for their F1 simulation race compete against each other. Unfortunately i was late there so unable to register for the contest, so i stayed for their Q&A session and won myself a Honda Racing Keychain that worth RM14 by answering a simple question.

Fair Usage Policy

This is something that i guess most of u wants to know. TM Net have a new look to their website and a new policy applied to Streamyx users and this will solve all those slow BT questions of yours.

TM is committed to ensuring our customers receive the best broadband service at the most competitive price. To achieve this goal, we provide a contended broadband service. This means our Internet bandwidth (capacity) is catered to be shared by all our customers at any one point in time, to ensure we provide a satisfactory and acceptable performance on an equal basis to all our customers.
However, a small number of customers use more than their "fair share" of the Internet bandwidth provided by us. On average, about 10% of our customers are using a disproportionate amount of Internet bandwidth. These customers degrade the performance of our broadband service by taking bandwidth away from other customers, who use the service fairly.
For example, some customers use P2P or file sharing software, which constantly sends and receives videos and other types of very large files, throughout the day. These activities (download and upload continuously) use a lot of bandwidth and can significantly reduce the connection speed, which other customers are getting to access the Internet during peak hours. We don’t believe this is fair to the vast majority of our customers.
We wish to bring to your attention our traffic prioritization policy with regards to P2P and Fair Usage Policy. We would like to reiterate that the P2P throughput is subject to peers (seed) availability and their throughput as well. Kindly note that TM does not have any control over peers’ availability or throughput.
The Fair Usage Policy automatically identifies the extremely heavy users and manages their bandwidth in order to protect the service of all our other customers. This traffic prioritization policy will protect the quality of service for the majority of our customers when they use the service, while at the same time, still allowing the extremely heavy users to continue to send and receive files with certain restrictions. With this policy in place, we will prioritize Internet activities like web browsing, live streaming, messaging applications and VOIP access while traffic to P2P sites will be given lower priority, due to the high bandwidth consumption of such services.
We wish to also highlight that as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), TM only provides access to the Internet and does not guarantee content delivery and performance where it is not within the domain of TM as an ISP. In fact, our international traffic management policy is designed to cater for all our customers so they have an optimal surfing experience within the normal limits of Internet usage.
As our priority is for all our customers to have a positive Internet experience, we wish to emphasize that it is important for all our customers to practice responsible usage of the allocated bandwidth based on normal usage.
We would like to reiterate that we are not against the use of P2P but we would like to educate our customers that the usage of excessive P2P does impact the overall service availability to our other customers.
TM does provide every customer with an allocated bandwidth, where other customers may use when not used by the others. Unfortunately, the nature of P2P more often than not, takes more than their allocated bandwidth, thus causing undue setbacks for other users when they want to use the service.
As a responsible service provider, we believe it is our responsibility and commitment to educate and encourage responsible usage of the infrastructure we provide.

The above is taken from their website. So if your BT is slow which stuck around 20kbps then u noe the reason behind it, if u still get great speed, good to u..

AMD 780G Chipset

AMD/ATi announced its new chipset which support hybrid graphics technology, something which gonna make Intel scratch their head. With this motherboard, u can have ur graphic card merge with the onboard graphic chip and increase the graphics performance. This is the statement from AMD/ATi:
