Heard this on MY FM this morning.

A decent looking girl (let¡¦s call her G) approached a guy (let¡¦s call him B) and said she wanna befriend him. Naturally, B didn¡¦t turn down G (frankly, most of the guys wouldn¡¦t). There they chat for awhile and exchanged phone numbers.

The following day, G gave a call to B and asked him out for a drink. B happily agreed (frankly, not all guys would). When they were having drinks, G said her handphone was having problem and asked B if she could ask her friend to call B¡¦s phone. B agreed. Then B¡¦s phone rang and he handed it to G to answer. G then claimed that the line was bad and she couldn¡¦t hear clearly, so she told B to look after her handbag and she went away slowly while talking to the phone¡Kand eventually vanished!

When B realized what happened, he looked into G¡¦s handbag, there were only rubbish inside. Poor guy, have himself to blame! ;p

I have been using the Maxis Plan 75 for some time. As the name suggests, I have to pay RM75 every month, regardless of whether I finish using the credit or not. Of late, my monthly usage is only around RM30. Since any unutilized credit will be forfeited, I have to find a way to finish up the my credit instead of letting Maxis make so much profit out of me.

So I asked myself, why not donate the extra credit? I emailed to a few charity organizations, some replied and some did not (so much for charity?). From the replies I received, only the National Cancer Council (MAKNA) accepts donation via SMS ¡¥officially¡¦ (I have an email reply from MAKNA dated 05-Sep-06). There is another organization who accepts it, but they did not reply my email, so it is deemed ¡¥not official¡¦, so I will not put its name here.

Here is how you can donate to MAKNA; For each SMS sent, you donate RM5.

If you are wondering whether Maxis will charge you the RM5/SMS on top of the usual RM75/month, the answer is No. These SMS are billed under ¡¥External Content Provider¡¦ and is cover by your RM75 credit. Verified by my own monthly statements.

Please lift your fingers and donate now, it will not cost you anything (except the normal operator charges for RM0.15/SMS). Thank you!

P/S: I will add in more organizations once I have found them out.

Former Sauber driver Norberto Fontana has revealed that he was asked by Jean Todt to block Jacques Villeneuve during the 1997 European Grand Prix. [read it here]

This was the final race of the 1997 Championship where Michael Schumacher was leading the driver's title from Villeneuve by one point. So, Ferrari would like to win it at all costs, including Jean Todt's 'order' to Fontana mentioned above, and also the infamous 'accident' between Schumacher and Villeneuve. Watch the video [here] and [here] then judge for yourself.

Luckily, Villeneuve's Williams seemed 'stronger' than the Ferrari and went on to finish third and clinched the driver's title.

For however many times he has won the F1 titles, I personally do not think Michael Schumacher as a great champion. Yes, he might be a maestro when driving an F1 car to seven world titles. But he's no where near the great champions like Ayrton Senna.

Over the years, there are too many controversials surrounding Michael. You felt like he won a lot of races with a lot 'help'. If you have been watching F1 closely, I am sure you know what I meant. No wonder the flamboyant Renault boss has had some harsh comment on the sport lately. With Italian football match-fixing scandal, it is not impossible to think that F1 has some sort 'race-fixing' of its own.

Come to think about it, may be it is good that Michael has finally called it a day. Let the sport be a sport. But wait, Ferrari are still here... I hope Kimi's reputation will not be tainted with any sort of controversial like Michael's when he drives for Ferrari.

It's always difficult for small fish to fight with the big shark, but please hang on Fernando, I have faith in you. Go kill the big bloody red shark (horse?).

Will Michael Schumacher retire this year? This is the most asked question in the F1 circle of late. It has even over shadowed the upcoming Italian Grand Prix at Monza this weekend. Since Monza is Ferrari's territory, it will be hard for Renault to beat them here.

Michael has been in F1 for 15 years. His first ever F1 GP start was at the Belgium GP in a Jordan, not being able to get off the line due to clutch problem. The very next race at the Italian GP, he's already behind the wheel of a Benetton, finishing 5th behind all the veterans like Mansell, Senna, Prost and Berger. Talk about talent!

Along the way, he has broken almost all important records. As of today the records stand like this: 7 F1 World Championship titles, 89 GP Wins out of 246 starts and 68 Pole Positions.

I have been watching Michael race since he was in Benetton. It's more fun to watch F1 back then compared to now, I must say. More overtaking, more drama, more action and less politics(?). It's always fun to watch Michael working behind the wheel, especially when it rained. The 'Rain Maestro', that's what people called him. F1 cars back then has no traction control. I still remember one particularly wet race in Monaco where most of the drivers were struggling to bring their cars to the finish line, but Michael¡¦s car just 'dancing' around the street of Monaco and eventually won.

A lot of people are very critical of Michael's tactics, especially after this year's Monaco Grand Prix. For me, this is him. He learnt his tactics in the 90s. Back then, F1 drivers are not the boring good boys image that we see nowadays.

After watching Michael race for so many years, for me, his expression after his third place finish in Turkey looked as though he has already made up his mind to hang up his helmet at the end of this season. But I hope I was wrong. I want to see him race. But if you were in his shoes, would you want to race against Kimi in the same car? I bet not. Age has certainly beaten the Maestro, he started making mistakes that he never did before, like the one in Turkey (Turn-8), which cost him second place (eventually first, where Massa was ready to let him thru?).

Will Michael Schumacher retire? Let¡¦s wait and see after Monza. If you would like to support Michael and urge him to stay, visit here: [http://www.michael-please-stay-in-f1.com/]
