Before that, here are the calender of this year:

2) Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix, 3-5 April
3) Chinese Grand Prix, 17-19 April

15) Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix, 2-4 October
16) Grande Premio do Brasil, 16-18 October
17) Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 30-1 November

The economic crisis last year had made some impact in the formula 1. The most affected was the Honda team which has to announce to withdraw from formula 1. However, their team principal, Ross Brawn had bought it over and renamed it Brawn GP for this year season. Besides that, Super Aguri F1 Team had also withdrew from the Formula 1 world and this make a total team compete this year to only 10 teams.

This year season we will expect more competitive fight between the drivers and teams for driver and constructor championship. For the driver championship, Hamilton is again the favourite to win this year but we cannot forget Massa who came so close last season to win the championship but luck had denied it. They are also Kimi, champion of 2007, Alonso and others who will fight for it.

In the team event, McLaren and Ferrari again are the favourite to win the championship but the great performance from Brawn GP in pre-season test make them come as blackhorse in this year. We can also expect good fight from Renault, Sauber and Williams. So, for all the new line-ups in 2009, let's hope for another great season of formula 1. Are you ready!

Magnificent....skyscraper

I have been follow up the development and technology of buildings around the globe for some time but I like skyscraper the most. I think that skyscraper can change the world. They are build to show off the wealth and ability of a country. For example, Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia had become a identity for the nation and now, it still going on. Recently, the race to become to build the tallest building in the world has heat up. Too bad, due to the current economic crisis, a lot of projects have put on hold. The country feel the most is Dubai in UAE. They have a lot of projects that Hopefully, the condition will recover and let the development continue.

I would like to share some of the skyscrapers around the world that amaze me including skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One of the most awaited project that will be completed at the end of the year to overtake current world's tallest, Taipei 101 to become world's tallest is Burj Dubai in Dubai, UAE. Even though this building is not complete yet but it already broken many records and now is unofficially the tallest building in the world. Other skyscraper projects include Freedom Tower; the replacement for World Trade Centre in New York and just completed Shanghai Financial Tower in China.

Burj Dubai

They are few rumours claims that they will be the building taller than one kirometre. I think that the building taller like this is insane to build and it challenge the ability of man kind to reach that level.

Although Malaysia has the world famous Petronas Twin Towers, I think it's not enough especially for the glowing country. However, when we though that KL will not have another iconic building, they are rumours said that the building taller than Twin Tower will be built and is more than 100 storeys high. If this is true, it will chance the skyline of KL. I looking forward to some interesting projects in KL including Four Seasons Center, Lot C, The Capers, Platinum Park and Millennium Residence.

Breathtaking Waterfall.....Lata Kinjang, Perak

Recently, I hard to find a free time for myself as I was busying with my tonnes of works. Somehow, manage to find some time here since this weekend got 3 days holiday. Like what I said, this week was a busy week for me. Yesterday, because of my work, went to find a old timber house with my coursemate to do research few kilometres outside Kampar. So, we decided to stop by the Late Kinjang waterfall where is the place we heard before but never visit before. We took this oportunity to go to the waterfall. On the way, we found some old timber houses which are suitable for our assignment but we decided to go to the waterfall first before come back again.

It took about 20 minutes to reach the waterfall from Kampar. We can see the waterfall on the way to the place from the road. This waterfall can be seen from the North South Highway and the road lead toward this waterfall will pass by a small bridge on the highway but we cannot access to the road from highway straight. You can take a Tapah exit follow the signboard to Chenderiang. The road to the waterfall is clearly indicated in Chenderiang town.

There are not many peoples when we reached there. We took photograph at there and visited the whole place. There are a suspension bridge at the waterfall and just follow the concrete steps and you will reach the bridge. From the bridge, we are like in the middle of the waterfall, we can see the half waterfall on top and bottom. Overall, it was a nice visiting. I recommend to people to come to have a look at this waterfall if you passby Tapah, Perak. If you are purposely want to visit this place from very far place, I think it's not worth it because it's just a waterfall but it's a must visit place if you pass by Tapah.
