kembali...

Today is the first Ramadan weekend... which translate into more zzz time, can go pasar to check out what's available, lots of free time... YIPPEE!!

Today I finally pegang my baby... although dah 2 hari balik. It's like wearing an old pair of gloves... everything fits. Bawak pun comfortable je... welcome back precious :) You're sorely missed. Tapi my baby no longer has that newborn smell :( Believe it or not, although she's almost 3 years old, ppl still comment "bau baru".

But now no longer... my baby has gone through a lot these past few weeks and now smells like chemicals. Must be the paint job, tampal, ketuk... or whatever surgery that she had to go through. I don't really like to letak pewangi but I guess it's inevitable lah... Terpaksa. Dah buka apa2 yg perlu to aerate.. hopefully those smells will be gone, but sadly no more newborn scent.

Pagi2 subuh lagi dah pergi jalan dgn dia. Felt so good to be holding and moving with her again! Keluar awal sbb takut queue panjang. OK I'm exaggerating, not subuh, but early enough that I had to turn on lampu . Well worth it... I'm customer #5! So I did not crash back into bed after solat... checked emails, read more about the stepneygate and dum dam dah 7am. At first ingat nak stay situ je tunggu siap, but sleep was overcoming me. Tersengguk2. Tak boleh jadi... called home and asked my bro to come pick me up. Sampai rumah, apa lagi lah... ZZZZZZ ;)

Got up in time to pick her up before the shop closes, then singgah workshop hantar insurance claim documents (uncle towkay workshop tu best lah... suka dia!), fill up kat Shell and balik baca newspaper. Ingat nak keluar for my "project", tapi malas lah pulak. Nanti rushing2. Mama pun sakit2 badan, so better be home in case she needs some help. Papa pergi office, Abg pergi LowYat and iftar kat luar, Amt tak balik lagi.

Ina sms tadi... she said she's heading for Spa to watch the qualifying... JEALOUS!!! She's so darn lucky... hari tu dpt pergi pit tengok the cars and meet drivers upclose, now she's going to watch things as they unfold at the legendary Spa Francanchamps circuit. Spa is rated at the top alongside Suzuka as the best circuit. Oohh... what I'd do to be in her shoes right now.

So today stay at home je lah... do some ironing, kemas barang2 yg still tak tentu hala since balik Langkawi. Besok baru keluar for "project".


SPA FRANCANCHAMPS - where the boys are separated from the men...
Spa winners are dominated by the "who's who in F1 racing" - Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher... all are multiple winners. And the most recent, Kimi Raikonnen... driving non other than a McLaren Mercedes


Spa Francorchamps was first used in 1924, its history long and entwining. Many drivers have won here, with its ever-changing weather conditions, making it a track hard to master. Jim Clark hated it, yet he won four races in a row, 1962 - 1965. The sun can shine in one section of the track, yet it can be pouring with rain in another.The danger here was ever present, with young Alan Stacey and Chris Bristow killed in separate accidents in 1960. By 1970, it was obvious that the speeds were getting too fast, so the track was discontinued, not returning again until 1983. This return saw the track distance nearly halved, with the removal of a section that was classed as really dangerous and thereafter it rewarded only the most talented. Eau Rouge remained the most evocative corner, the scene of many accidents. Alex Zanardi escaped serious injury when he crashed his Lotus there in 1993, and in light of the tragic deaths at Imola, 1994 saw a new chicane added, but when run-offs were built in 1995, this corner thankfully came back into play.Ayrton Senna won four consecutive races, from 1988 to 1991 and it was the scene of Michael Schumacher's very first victory in 1992.
