my my.. has it really been almost 2 mths since my last post? time does fly doesnt it..? anyway, finally got my internet connection up and running.. well, actually my modem konked out at 1st, got a replacement then later on my streamyx access got cut cos i didnt pay my bill - which is probably cos the #$%@ telekom just doesnt send the bill to my house. told them that a billion times but they just cant seem to get this problem fixed. doesnt matter, wats important is we're online right now..

well, the 2005 f1 season has officially begun as of today. the 1st GP in Australia was this afternoon and i really hv to say it was disappointing. the new rulings have just taken the fun outta the sport. here're some of the new rules that i know of:

1. cars can only use 1 set of tires for qualifying and the actual race - tires can only be replaced if its damaged.
2. one engine has to be used for 2 races.

i think there's a few more, but these 2 is good enough to take the racing out of f1 namely because the teams will be ermm.. cautious. one set of tires and one engine for 2 races will only cause teams to run their cars slowly in order to preserve the tires/engine which will make it BORING. and its already proven that its boring because i fell asleep a few times today watching the race. sigh.. lets hope that they revisit this rules cos if its gonna go on like that, they might as well change it to B1 .. 'B' for Bored.. heh heh (i know, lame..) and of cos it didnt help that michael schumacher spun out after a collision with nick heidfeld - DNFed the race in order to get a new engine for the next race here in Sepang. now i'm wondering if i should even consider going to watch it live since its soooOOooo boring now..
