maybe it is...............a miracle after all
KR is F1 world champion!! by a SINGLE point.....!!
can u believe it??? i still cant.........could you have imagined the way the race had turned out? unbelievable......!!!!!!
a great start by FM ....followed by THE amazing move by KR on LH.......and of cos not forgetting FA with his another MOST audacious move into turn 1 and 2, taking 3rd place over LH............wwowowowow, at that moment, i was punching the air in delight...........what a dream start for ferrari.....and u know what, the best has yet to come...!!
turn 3... LH was so close to the rear of FA' s car that when they reached the braking point, LH had no where to go but go off the track............he rejoined in 8th place....another punch in the air........now i am not sure if FA brake-tested LH cos there is really no way to tell, but the espn commentor (not steve slator, who as usual, was full of mistakes......cant even tell the cars apart when we were all watching the same monitors) was pretty sure about it......
and then weird mechanical gremlins stuck LH's car and he seemed to lose all power....dropping him down to 18th place........as sudden as the problem appeared, he was ok in no time and was soon charging up the field........as a last resort, mclaren switched him to a 3-stop strategy ...hoping that he could go as high as 6th place to secure the championship......
meanwhile FM was leading the ferrari 1-2......and both scarlet cars were trading fast laps.......they both left FA for good and were never troubled .....they looked too comfortable for their own good haha......
eventually the inevitable happened and KR emerged from the pit ahead of FM to take the lead all the way to the chequered flag......did FM sacrifice a home win??? well, i think soooooo but he did what he could as a teammate who was out of the championship fight........
in the end, alas......after 71 laps, KR is world champion......!!!

what an amazing weekend...!!!
1st: merseyside derby.........!
no torres......crouch on the bench and for voronin and kuyt to lead the attack.....
2 red cards....2 penalties and 2 goals for liverpool!! simply awesome!!
liverpool started the match stronger and almost scored when voronin had the chance but alas, only managed to shoot straight at tim howard......what a great chance to get liverpool ahead
somehow everton gained a foothold and began to string passes in the middle of the park.....although they put pressure on liverpool, they did not seriously threaten to score.........by virtue of good fortune, they went ahead when hyypia gifted them an own goal........from then on, it looked a uphill climb for the reds.....
it was never a doubt that hibbert fouled gerrard ......the replay showed that the foul was just ...just just outside the box but a penalty the referree awarded...........and even a red card.....now at first the ref was abit unsure, perhaps he wanted to give a yellow card but after considering that the liverpool captain was through and hibbert was the last defender, red card it was.....
credit to everton cos they didnt seem to play like a team with 10 men.......they continued to press ahead and gave liverpool a run for the money.....
in the end, liverpool was not to be denied............a goal-line clearance by the everton skipper with his left hand....so another red card and another cool but mightily important finish by dirk kuyt gave liverpool the 3 points....!!
what a pulsating merseyside derby......not characterised by the most flowing of football but surely will be remembered for the drama and excitement...!
kudos to liverpool for their no-say-die attitude...........perhaps a little fortunate but a win ...and a very important one....
some key observations:
no width on the right in the 1st half.........yossi was great on the left, we need wingers, we need width!!
kuyt was hugely absent in the 2nd half.........dunno why and seldom was he involved then.....
voronin was ever hardworking but when presented with great chances, he fluffed the important finish.......*wasted* cos should have done better.....credit him with the great pass to gerrard which led to the first penalty
gerrard.....mostly off-form.....but was sufficiently influential
the defence didnt look the most assured.......

one for the ladies....
after the LE themes of orange, phantom and blue, here's the latest from bell & ross.........WHITE
case in white ceramic, white dial and white leather strap..............perfect for ladies i think
internally there is no difference with any BR03-02.........
red or yellow.....

two ferrari by panerai chronographs in bright-coloured dials........
well i may be a fan of the prancing horse but i dun think these watches are an exact extension of the spirit of ferrari....
judged on their own, they are appealing in design and function........large 44 mm watch cases, simple and legible dials, large and easy to use pushers and crowns........just that they dun have the beauty of the cars from maranello
i like the luminous dots on the crown.......and panerai have taken the extra effort to ensure that the crown is centred with a locking mechanism i.e. the prancing horse on the crown will always face up.....
the brushed surfaces are also easier to maintain ........not cheap but i am sure many can afford

news....new sinn watches on the way.....
just announced on timezone a few days ago, here's a pick of the crops....
Sinn U-1000 Submarine Chronograph - in submarine steel, and in submarine steel (black)........ yahoo!! especially for fans of black watches....
what's special about these 2....hmmm, let me see...
how about an all tegimented case, bezel, pushers, crown and back. The process hardens the submarine steel to four times the hardness of the steel used in standard watches!....! brilliant!! we all need a little more toughness than what standard stainless steel can give, right?? and this coating is way stronger and resistant than normal PVD
Water resistant to 1,000 meters, and fully pressure tested to operate the chronograph functions at this depth oh my god, isnt this cool?????? functional pushers down to 1000 m...!!!!!!!!
Sinn's special movement SZ-02 will be used for the U-1000...... well, another modified movement but i think this is a right step. dun think Sinn will have a in-house movement any time soon.....at the prices sinn charges for their watches, i have no problem with that...
The chronograph functions and crown will be located on the left side of the watch. This watch will feature a new "lock and push" bezel system i am not sure why the pushers and crown will be on the left. perhaps to keep them away from harm? a secured bezel is a cool ...more security more safety
Sinn's "Dry Hold" technology good stuff..........keep the movement dry and safe...
Uses Sinn special oil which allows for safe operation in extreme temperature changes or environments oh so you can go to the north pole with the watch....
this is something to look our for but pic and price not available yet
Sinn U2 Schwarz (Black)
an improvement on the standard U-2.......
Fully tegimented case, bezel, crown and case back if u like black u will like this
Black PVD case which has been hardened through the tegimenting process to provide a more durable and scratch resistant finish stronger is always better
there are 3 other models announced but these 2 are more interesting.......:)

CORUM....another nice watch....
Corum Admiral's Cup Tides 48
this one, a model launched this year, is not bad at all...........i mean when compared to previous admiral's cup watches......
size? 48 mm.......! which is HUGE......and very imposing yet still very attractive......
the tides indicators are at first quite confusing but after reading the specifications, begin to make sense...
dial at 12: shows phases of moon and strength of the tide
dial at 9: shows height of the tide and strength of current
dial at 6: times of the tide
i quite like the crown protector in rubber and well this theme is carried over to the bezel too.....
and the rose gold model looks the best....
