F1 vehicle racing in s'pore WHOOO HOOO



wat a great local news 2 start off wit in the new yr. Saw the news today tt F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has been in talks wit at least two S'porean groups to stage a race here as early as next yr Aug.

The cost of hostin tis world-class event is thought 2 b in the range of US$35m ($54m). The returns r many times higher up 2 US$100 million frm hotel receipts, recreational spending and contracts 4 local players. Tourism receipts is also a key Singapore consideration.

Mr Hermann Tilke, the world renowned German architect responsible 4 designing the F1 circuits , was asked 2 design a street circuit which would see F1 cars racing in downtown Spore at speeds of up to 300km an hour. Mr Tilke visited the spore last yr and his track design has since been approved,and it will b pretty similar 2 the legendary Monte Carlo track in Monaco — arguably the most glamorous of the F1 race destinations.


the proposed design of the street track in spore


Ecclestone did mention tt Singapore's wide roads r ideal 4 a street circuit. It would also avoid the buildin of a huge stadium track tt would be a white elephant the rest of the yr. "Singapore was offered a F1 race in 1991 but turned it down, in part due 2 site (buildin a curcuit track) concerns. Since March last yr, Mr Ecclestone revealed exclusively 2 the local press tt he was open 2 the idea of letting Singapore host the event.





2 parties are reportedly keen on hostin a full-fledged F1 race in Spore. 1 group is led by hotel and property tycoon Ong Beng Seng, while the other by Arthur Tay, managing director of the SUTL Group, which owns the ONE°15 Marina Club in Sentosa Cove. Possible partners include industry players such as Mobil, Panasonic, the ING group, Bridgestone, Siemens and Foster's beer




It starts and finishes at Marina Bay, wher a giant floatin pontoon is being constructed 2 host the NDP 2007 and other major sports events. It is expected 2 take in major landmarks such as the Raffles Hotel, Suntec Fountain, City Hall and the Esplanade. The race could also be held at night to minimise traffic disruptions.


how excitin to hav tis event witout building a race track. Imagine all the vehicle start off at the floatin platform and zooming 300kmh past prominent landmark like the merlion, esplanade, fountain of wealth, St Andrew Cathedral, Supreme Court and City Hall and end back 2 the starting line. the whole propose track will b 5km. wat got mi even pump up even more for tis event is tt tis spore (UNIQUELY) race, its gonna b the 1st F1 race tt could be held @ NIGHT. This would reduce the need for traffic disruptions within the vicinity of the circuit and the benefit for live telecast to other part of the world. But i still hav to hold on to myself as it is still NT CONFIRM YET but fingercross. Hopefully tis event can b held so as it will bring an enormous boost for the tourism sector for s'pore

Whhooooo Hooooo IPHONE!!!

Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs confirmed months of speculation on Tuesday by unveiling a new mobile phone and a set-top box that allows people to stream video from their computers to their televisions. Jobs said Apple's iPhone would "reinvent" the telecommunications sector and "leapfrog" past the current generation of hard-to-use smart phones. "Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything," he said during his keynote address at the annual Macworld Conference and Expo. "It's very fortunate if you can work on just one of these in your career. ... Apple's been very fortunate in that it's introduced a few of these" ... Both devices liberate media from the computer, allowing people to enjoy digital files without being chained to a desktop or laptop. "It's really, really easy to use," Jobs told the crowd at San Francisco's Moscone Center before demonstrating the system with a video clip of "The Good Shepherd. It's got the processing horsepower to do the kinds of things we like to do."
My point of view:Although i haven see and feel the real thing yet. But according to the pictures post on the websites it looks promising. 3 in 1 device tis small is pretty amazing together wit build in 2MP camera. But wat i worry is tt too many cooks spoils the soup. juz imagine a normal 30G ipod can frequently hang nowadays, now wit 3 functions together i dun really noe wat will b the outcome. 2ndly its a touch screen devices, juz imagine how many fingerprints and nail scratches on the stunning screen itself. 3rdly the sensitivity of the touch screen, i heard lots of complains frm friends on their PDA phone for their sensitivity. Heard tt its gonna b out in spore during the 1st quarter of 2007 and the cost will range btwn S$800+ to S$900+


MOBILE PHONE + IPOD + WIRELESS INFORMATION SERVICES

American Life ?



I was @ home watchin TV today and happen to come across tis program call tyra banks show(which is my 1st) and i was so emotionally down and depress by watching the program. Aft the end of the show it really change my views on living the America Dream. Which is y i intend to post tis on my blog.

The title of the show is "Homelessness: It's Closer Than You Think". She explained that 70% of Americans live paycheck 2 paycheck, & once they dun hav paycheck they will b homeless and more than 3.5 million people r homeless. The homeless population has grown by 50% over the past 10 yrs, n the homeless mortality rate is nearly four times higher than the national average. And most of them are illegal immigrant getting out of the country thinking of getting a slice of the American Pie.

Danielle & Tyra Banks

Tyra went undercover and uglified herself as a homeless woman, living a day on skid row
(North American used to refer to a rundown or dilapidated urban area), 2 Xperience wat it’s like 2 b homeless. She have to wear a rag and thick boots and ugly makeup. The reason she have to wear thick boots is bcoz there are lots of polluted needles on the streets and she need those boots to protect herself. Tyra was guided by Danielle, a 30-year-old woman who had been homeless 4 the last five years. In 2001, Danielle lost her job and soon aft her apartment. She left her 4 kids wit her grandmother and took 2 the streets. Living on the streets was hard bcoz she never knew where she would take her next shower, where she would slp or when she would get her next meal


Tyra in her undercover look begging for money wit a paper cup


Tyra was dropped off on skid row 2 meet wit Danielle. On her way 2 the meeting spot, she met Egypt and Franklin, 2 homeless teens. The kids showed Tyra a crack pipe on the sidewalk wit fresh drugs still in it. Tyra learned they’d been homeless 4 nearly 5yrs. . As Tyra and Danielle began walking, they saw ppl smokin crack in broad daylight as if it were nothin, and others wit bleedin feet and open sores. I was shocked to see people lived like this in wat was considered the land of opportunity.

1 of the main tools Tyra & Danielle needed 4 living on the streets was the ability swallow their pride and beg for money. Aft an hour of eagerly begging, sum1 finally gav them a dollar. Danielle revealed men usually gave more money than women because women were afraid. Aft hours of begging, the ladies had received $3.50. When Tyra and Danielle entered a restaurant 2 buy sum food, the owner insisted they leave his establishment. Outside, Tyra found a trashcan full of food. She knew if she were truly homeless, she would have eaten food frm the dumpster 2 survive.

Their next mission was to find a place to wash up. Tyra was lucky enough to find a gas station tt allowed her to use their facility. As Tyra began cleaning herself up, she was hit wit the realization tt tis small sink was a bathtub and a shower. The emotions took over as she tot abt all of the ppl and their unique situations tt led them to skid row. She emotionally revealed tt she was one of the ppl tt kept walking when she encountered the homeless. Tt min make mi realise i did the same thing as tyra back i was in Times Square happily shopping around while ignoring my surroundings.

As Tyra left the facility, it was time 4 them 2 find a place 2 slp 4 the night. Tyra asked Danielle how women protected themselves on the street. Although it was illegal, Danielle confessed she carried a knife. Aft preparing their bed, Danielle stayed up to watch while Tyra slept wit a blanket over her face, to keep strangers frm realizing she was a woman. The women switched places and Tyra realized she was now Danielle’s keeper, responsible 4 keeping her safe.

I did my research on skid row and the exact location in america and was shock to know tt the street Bowery in NY is also considered as one of them. And everytime i go downtown NY ill definately pass by tt area. i hav seen streets filled wit beggers and in my mind i was telling myself WHY dun they get a job and Why they hav to beg on the streets? In USA alone there are more than 3 million ppl and counting are homeless and jobless tts almost like a population of Singapore back in 1998. Ppl like mi think that USA is a land filled wit opportunity and when you work there you are gonna hav a good life. But not all of them who went there are becoming rich when they go back to their hometown. Some of them went there and came back with juz an american accent. So aft watchin tis prog and it really woke me up, izit wise to go there and work, or am i blinded by the savoury looking of the American Pie
