F1 weekend!! - Recap

So I wanted to write a post about the controversial Malaysian GP but then the Chinese GP got in my way. So I decided to just do an update. I am pretty sure no one really care about moto racing or Formula1 but it is exciting, to me at least.

So..as usual I don't keep up-to-date with the technology and rules that are ever changing in Formula 1 (I definitely need to hit my friend B with all these info) but the last 3 races I noticed they do not put fuel in the cars like the previous seasons. So...this makes me wonder, are they going green (I doubt it) or do they use a 1 fuel rule, like fueling the car before it races and hopefully the team calculations take the car to the chequered flag. So if you know please bring me to light on this subject matter. XD

So lets go back to the second leg, the Malaysian Grand Prix. It was a weird podium moment because all the 3 winners didn't look happy even though they won. It was a little crazy if you ask me. The funniest thing I heard was they were comparing them to Kimi Raikkonen who if you don't know have a very icy demeanor.

If you follow F1 you know there are those times when drivers are told to halt or give way to their teammate either to help them win or try to get the people behind you to slow down by well being bait. This was one of those cases, well actually 2 cases. Anyway to keep the story short, Vettel disobeyed orders and won the race. I don't blame him. He is the champion and of course he wants to win. I think the teams should just let them race it out. Haha..same story goes for Hamilton and Rosberg but Rosberg listened and I say lost the chance to get third place. To me, its just a race. Some people went crazy over that. So whatever.

The last race was in China. That was quite an interesting race too. There was a few crash and burn, some awesome overtaking and of course my main man, Kimi Raikkonen winning 2nd place. He didn't have that great of a start but he plowed through and won second behind Lewis Hamilton. I think that's the happiest I have seen Fernando Alonso. Nothing major happened and I think Vettel made it to the top 10 (I think he was fourth).

 The Bahrain GP is on this weekend and I can't wait to watch it! I think the race is going to be a little later than the last 3 races. This year I hope to watch all the races and not miss any if I can help it. I want Kimi Raikkonen to win this year. I think it could be an amazing year for him and I am sure we will see a lot more drama when the race develops. I am team #raikkonen all the way~~!

F1 : First Race - Melbourne, Australian GP

Hey everyone! Happy St Patrick's Day! I don't really know when is St Patty's day, is it today? :P If it is, I have a green polish on one finger!!

So if you don't know (which you probably don't) I have been watching and following F1 for more than 10 years now. There was a few years when I didn't really bother with it, I think it was the years when Kimi Raikkonen 'retired' from F1. And as of last year the Iceman is back! I am super stoked for this year! I am hoping Kimi would win the title this year. I am pretty sure it will be a super tight race. This year, Michael Schumacher retired for the 2nd time. I know he came back to racing to make an impact, maybe win a few races but honestly he wasn't in the best car and in my opinion if he was in either Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes  or even Lotus, I probably think he could've won a few races last year. I will miss Schumi. I wonder why his brother, Ralf never continue racing?

via

This year I am going to try to share some F1 news and hopefully will be successful. I know a lot of people will think, its just awesome fast cars going around in circles but sometimes they create some awesome drama too. 

via

I definitely want to play that!

My dad and I watched it a few laps before he had to go out and he wanted Hamilton to win, but I got my eyes on Mr Raikkonen.

via

Even being a lot older when he first debut I am still in love with this man!! So my dad didn't think Kimi could win the race, but he did!!! It was super awesome!! I know there must be some rule changes for this year, and I am not up to date with all the change but I will soon hopefully. I have to contact my F1-partner-in-crime B to get all the jizz. :D

I know there are new tires or something and it seems like the lollipop man has change position. If you are wondering no, he does not eat lollipop :P but he holds a sign that looks like a lollipop in front of the cars when they stop for fuel or tire change. So when they were standing in front of the cars, there have been accidents in the past, them being hit, run over or set on fire, I kid you not. So this year the lollipop man stands on the side :P. The pitstops seems to be a little shorter this time around, I wonder if the F1 cars are going green? I wonder why they haven't thought of this yet. Like cars using solar or something...that would be pretty cool. But I guess only when it is hot and sunny out :P.

via

At the Australian GP all three of the winners are world champions, Vettel won the championship last year and the year before, Kimi won in the past and Alonso won too. I think this year it will be an interesting race to the end, like last year. Last year's winner was decided at the last race in Brazil. I hope this year will be just as good. I am sure Lewis Hamilton wants that glory again and Felipe Massa will be chasing that glory too.

Football update: Champions League

Arsenal 3 v 1 Olympiacos

The last of the 2 game week came on Thursday morning for me (245am) and I did not stay up to watch it. Simply because the last game I saw they lost haha, and I made a mistake of laying on my bed waiting for the match to start. If I did not, I would probably be glued in front of the tv.

I was kinda sad because they won. I wanted to watch the game where they win and not lose :P. I was on my iPod on the EuroSport app and first half they were level at 1-1. I think that made me even lazier to get up and watch the second half, because I was afraid it was gonna end up in a draw and it would be a waste for me to watch the game. XD you know sleep is kinda important.

Podolski and Ramsey scored in the second half, and I think it might be Ramsey's first goal of the season. I was so relieve! meaning they won the game. I think it puts them on the top of Group B. I hope they stay that way and do not end up meeting any teams from the Premier League (Chelsea, Manchester Utd or Manchester City).

Another good game boys! Now if only you can apply this method when you play against Manchester Utd, Chelsea or Manchester City, that would be awesome.

Arsenal

Football update: Arsenal v Everton

We Arsenal won!! YAY!! I am always ecstatic when they win...hehe ^^. They had a game Sunday for the FA cup and then less than 48 hours had another game against Everton. How do they do it?! 0.o I bet they get real tired but have another few days to rest and train for their Newcastle United match on Saturday, which I will be watching :). Yay...let's hope they win! We need to keep up with the leader of the table I assume is still Manchester United.

via Arsenal.com

On that note, did you know Fernando Torres moved to Chelsea? O.o That's what I heard, tell me it isn't true. WHY? Why Torres?????? You disappoint me in going blue....*sigh* Let's hope they do bad eh.. :P I like Torres tho....this is tough!

Anyway, we (as in CLK and I) are having a Superbowl Monday party...just the two of us and a bunch of virtual people...LOL sad isn't it?? I know it's on Sunday but it will be played on Monday where I am, so Superbowl Monday, although it does not rhyme. Are you watching the Superbowl this Sunday?

Football update: Last few games

I have been dreading posting football updates, as you see I have less and less of them. Don't get me wrong I do watch em :) (YAY GO ARSENAL!!) but they disappoint me when I feel like they should make me excited and happy. Ya know what I mean?! Meaning more winning, less draws...thankfully they have not lost many games so far and this Saturday night, FA cup and they have their Carling cup semi final match Wednesday. So contemplating to go to my orchestra practice or not XD. Shhhhhhh don't tell my conductor!!

Past few games (wow totally just checked last update - 5 games ago! XD):

December 13th 
Arsenal v Manchester Utd (0 - 1) - The lost, what can I say? Could've gone top of the table...grrrr.

December 27th
Chelsea v Arsenal (3 - 1) - Then the next game they won. o.O Really surprising how they can come up and surprise ya. I am thrilled of course!! It's Chelsea we're talking about XD.

via Arsenal.com

December 29th
Wigan Athletic v Arsenal (2 - 2) - From a lost, to a win, to a draw. See my frustration? >.<' They were winning, then....need explanation much?

January 1st
Birmingham City v Arsenal (3 - 0) - Another win! Yay, and it was on new year's day too. Happy! ^^. We need more of this to come!

via Arsenal.com

January 5th
Arsenal v Manchester City (0 - 0) - The other devil, in blue. *sigh* Another draw, a win would put them below Manchester Utd. Why does this keep happening?? And some players are going on loan. Come back soon!! =___='' Apparently they only have wallpaper on their site of winning games :P I never noticed that.

January 8th (FA Cup - I thought it was a Carling cup match. Guess they changed the date)
Arsenal v Leeds
Hoping for a win - fingers crossed!! Leeds have not been in the Barclays Premier League in a long time. So a win would be great! And the football clubs need jersey colors in pink and purple. No more boring black, blues and red (except for Arsenal XD).

Football update: What happened last week

Hey guys~ It has been almost 10 days. Sorry =___='' It has been a busy week. :) Will update soon! Just had our Christmas/year end concert and it was Ah-mazing! :) First time I have felt so happy after a show! ^__^

So I wanted to update about football. First of all, the game tonight (18th December, 1500 UK time) is postponed because there is a blizzard in London. I am kinda sad but the snow is so beautiful.

via Arsenal.com

See? Awesome huh? But the game is postponed. Sucks. Arsenal vs Stoke City will commence until further notice. Last week they met Manchester United for a match but they lost, 1 - 0. Which sucks more. *sigh*

They will meet Barcelona for the round of 16 for the Champions League and it does not seem very bright. Like ending the run for the Champions League. So no game tonight, maybe that means early night? :)

I will have updates soon-ish!!

My football update

This is a football update so...if you are not a football fan, turn your face away...or I'll entertain you with a picture of my cat, Charlie.

My Cat Charlie (with his newspaper ball)

So last Wednesday (I watched it Thursday morning) Arsenal played their last Champions League match against FK Partizan Beograd. They are in Group H, and was top of that group but lost their last game so they need to win this game in order to go on to the last 16. In normal talk, they better win or pack their bags. Well actually I think they have a good chance to go to the last 16 rounds but a win would be sweeter. I did not update my football last month because they weren't doing very good. (Lost a lot of games and really poor performance).

I am happy to report that they cruise past FK Partizan Beograd. :) I was scared a lil when they scored 1 each but then it was smooth sailing. Although Bacary Sagna did get a red card, minutes before time. What a shame. I hope they get to play somewhat mediocre team next cause I want them in the finals!

I hope they didn't take down the video again, if they do check out footytube if you are interested in the clips. :)

They had a game Saturday against Fulham and won! Of course, it was one of those long game and you get very edgy. It was a pretty good game, Samir Nasri scored both goals. I thought they were gonna give it all away or get a draw from the game. It took them a very long time to score the second goal and thankfully they did! Don't scare us like that Arsenal! (At least don't scare me :P).

The week before they had a Carling Cup clash and since all the top teams are out, I hope Arsenal would be favorite to win the cup. :) The matches for the cup match in January are as follows:

Birmingham City		vs		West Ham United
St. Andrews

Arsenal		vs		Ipswich Town
Emirates Stadium Ipswich Town vs Arsenal Portman Road West Ham United vs Birmingham City Upton Park Courtesy of Carling Cup website

 That would be in January o.O and I have to wait!!! It sucks. At least I get to see a game with CLK and hopefully it would be a good one and not fall asleep like I use to. LOL.

OMGwdjfhwoyfuihdvbsd!!!

Oh I was bitter last night because I could not watch my Arsenal match and thought "Oh yeah because Manchester United is playing. It's because of Manchester United...blablabla..". I didn't watch that game because Manchester United was playing...see the problem? But this morning, OMFG!!! They lost!!! >:D *evil laugh* See people at Astro, you should put the Arsenal game live because Manchester United got beaten bad by West Ham United (4 - 0)...muahahhahahah!! Evil..I am evil!!!

sportsbox24.blogspot.com

Even though they only scored one goal (Bendtner) they did win!! And are going to the semi final! And with no big four (Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool) to stop them, they have an equal chance (hopefully more) to win the cup!! Come on, if they lose to Ipswich that would be humiliating. o.O

I am a happy panda. :D

UPDATE

P.S I had to remove the video because it was naken down from the site...boo ~~

I just want to say....

Finally....

Arsenal won!!!!!

ARSENAL won!!!!

ARSENAL WON!!!! >:D

...A game on Saturday. =____='' They were top of the table for like 5 minutes before Manchester United got the best of them with a 7 -1 score. Like 7 goals. Berbatov is one of my favorite players, too bad he plays for Manchester United.

via oaktree-design.co.uk

So, what did you do this weekend??

The night just seem shorter

Footie update!! Ok ok, I am soooooooooooo happy!! ^__^ Can you tell?! Can you can you?!! Of course, because it's football update again! :D Tonight I watched 3 games (I am so rocking football weekend and surprise at myself) and I actually sat there watching Liverpool play Blackburn because I cannot watch the Arsenal game! Imagine how pissed I was?!?!?! Although that you internet, I did follow it live online and did kinda catch it on the telly now and then. Ugghhh.

So I watched the Manchester United and Stoke game, Liverpool and Blackburn game and Manchester City and Arsenal game. I am happy to inform you that Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal WON!! Woohoo, I am most excited for Arsenal. They won 3-0 and now number 2 under Chelsea. I wish Chelsea would drop more points :P. Liverpool game was a pretty good one to watch. They (finally!) won, 2-1. Fernando Torres scored the second goal. Yay Torres, I was waiting and hoping he would finally do his magic. :) Yay for Torres.

I didn't pay much attention to the Manchester game tho, I know they won and it was kind of blurry. I had a nice chat with my friend Kathy in Aussie. :) Gossiping while watching football is the best XD. So on to the Arsenal game, first goal was from Nasri. :) The second was Song and third the beloved Nicklas Bentdner. I have not seen that man on the pitch for so long!! Well done Bendtner! :D Way to boost your confidence. The weird thing was that Fabregas missed a penalty and it was ashamed that he did. But at least they won, yay! I say yay a lot I know. I am just excited even tho I did not watch the game. I am definitely going to look for a replay for that game.

via Arsenal.com - Oh Nasri <3

I am wondering who is going to be Man of the Match on Arsenal.com? :) Guess we will find out.

UPDATE

Fabianski was Man of the Match :D Good job, now should Almunia be worried about first picked goalkeeper?

I said "HEYyyy" - Football Update

I was ready for Arsenal game last this morning, and literally fell asleep after the 2nd half started. =__='' Fail! This morning was the Champions League clash - Arsenal vs Shakhtar Donetsk. The commentator said this team was one of the team to look out in this group, but well... Arsenal did beat them. 5 to 1. I suppose they were not in their normal game stride. :)

One of the saddest moment in the game (sad? Really? XD) was that a former Gunner, Eduardo was playing for the team. Awww...I did like Eduardo and was surprised about him leaving Arsenal. I did blogged about that. He stated that if he did score against his former club he wasn't going to celebrate. He did score - the only goal - and true to his word he did not celebrate. But then again why would you if you were 4 goals down. =___='' But everyone was happy to see him play after the awful incident that side lined him for a whole season, broke his ankle (oh I saw it and it was horrifying! I will have to find a picture) and then he moved. :( Sad wish he would've stayed another season. And Aaron Ramsey is going through the same thing!! Broke his ankle after a bad tackle.. I wish you well Aaron!! Can't wait to see you play again!! Ok I found a picture and it is gonna be a lil horrifying (like A LOTTTT) and you can skip it if you are like me. I can't bear to look at it. Maybe I'll make it really small ok?

via dailymail.co.uk

OhMyGosh, I watched that LIVE!! when it broke and they did not show a reply just a lot of players shaking their heads and holding in emotions, it was a sad day. But now he is better and playing and scored!! Great recovery. But yeah onto the game.

The game was a really good one, I have not enjoyed a good game in a long time. It tend to get bored or just less goals so yeah 5 is a good number. I told CLK that they might score 8 even! if all is according to plan. :P He said that the first goal was pretty quick but I told him it was not quick enough.

via Arsenal.com - warm welcome from the crowd

The goal scorers were Alex Song (19m), Samir Nasri (42m), Cesc Fabregas (PEN-59m), Jack Wilshere (66m), and Marouane Chamakh  (69m). Arshavin came in the second half but did not score. Overall I was pretty pleased with the result (GO GUNNERS!!) and after the win at Birmingham, I hope they can do it all over again this Saturday, clash with Manchester City. Arsenal is always good in midweek and then come weekend they would totally suck (to me anyway, do you feel so Arsenal fans?). I really did wish they would score 8 - 0. :P

This is where I try to hide in the corner eating popcorn - Football update

2 weeks ago (I think, oh gosh has it been 2 weeks?) Arsenal played Chelsea and true to my feelings they LOST. Bad, well 2-0 isn't that bad I suppose but to Arsenal fans they are pretty bad indeed. *sigh* I was heartbroken, not! I guess because I wasn't watching it. But that was to be expected. The game before they also lost...so it's like a freakin losing streak...and we need to stand up and fight more men!!!

Well now everyone is on International duties. I don't remember if it was for the Euro 2012 qualifiers or friendlies or both, probably both so regular football will commence next weekend. Mehh, we lost so what?? *go and hide in the corner eating popcorn*

Football update: Carling cup, Barclays Premier League, Champions League

Ok, I thought I updated on the Carling Cup 3rd round but I guess I forgot about it. Last week (I think it was) Arsenal played at White Hart Lane against Tottenham Hotspur. The result during regular time was devastating (1-1 I guess not so bad) but Arsenal came back from 1 all to win it 4-1, 2 were penalties from Samir Nasri and 1 was a real cool goal by Arshavin (I nicknamed turtle LOL). So that was awesome *2 thumbs up*.

via Arsenal.com

And as I always predicted, when they have a great week they would literally suck in the weekend. Like LITERALLY, since they lost to West Brom. To make matters worse the lost at home. :(( Boo!! But I guess a lil consolation price for that night is that Chelsea also lost to Manchester City. >:D Bwahahahaha!!! But still they lost, boooooo!!!

And at the moment, I am watching their game against Partizan Belgrade (Champions League). Will update!!

~~~ U P D A T E ~~~

So ermm yeah, I kinda fell asleep (ok, I fell asleep) after the first half cause it was late and truth be told I think the game was kinda ... boring. o.O I know right?? You would think I'd be jumping for joy...but it was pretty late, like 330am. Hello? :P Anyway, I did watch the repeat at 630 (o.O why couldn't I just wait to see it then?) and YAY! they did win (thank god!). When I was watching the game Live, they were 1 all, and I was worried if they were just gonna draw but I was wrong. Pheww~ At least they didn't lose. Gotta love Arsenal. And of course Carlos Vela was playing too altho he didn't score any (I think he might be my next fave if Fabregas should decide to move to Barcelona..booo!!). :) So I was a happy girl.
