A Day At Nike Football Elite Training Live Session

Around two weeks ago, Lowyat.NET was invited by Nike Malaysia to check out their new football grassroot program - through their partnership with Football Association of Malaysia - called Nike Elite Training Live. Taken place at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, it was not a normal boring presentation since they actually put me and fellow media friends in the field to taste the training ourselves; which are based on Nike Football+ Master Control series developed by Juventus FC.

So, there we were with the Dri-Fit complete jerseys together and the new T90 Laser III boots. Enough with words then; roll on the pics!

Never Take A Ride With Taxi Drivers That Wears Racing Suit

If you see your taxi driver dons a racing suit, GET THE FUCK OUT. Never trust a driver that wears a racing suit.

Actually, you can always trust them because they definitely can drive superbly good but it ain't going to be comfy for you my friend, LOL.

Energizer Night Race 2010: Let's Go!

A preview of the run, this one was from the event at Korea.

Truth to be told, I really like running and sports in general. However, for all my 27 years of life, I only managed to participate in a 15km run once. That was like back in 1997 or 1998 - really like zaman tok kaduk dulu yo.

So, when I felt in love again with running - thanks to my recent encounter with Nike Running (refresher fer ya - 1 2) few months back, I thought to myself "Hey, maybe I should join a proper running event again,". With that, here I am, all excited for the 2nd running event ever in my life - the 10km leg of Energizer Night Race 2010 on 27th March at Cyberjaya.

I originally intended to join the 10km leg of Putrajaya Night Marathon 2010 but I didn't get to register on time. So, imagine my joy when I actually got to register for the Energizer event. Please excuse my overwhelm happiness, LOL. ^___^

Somemore, couple of friends are also joining the run; like Jen (if were not for her FB link, I wouldn't know about the Energizer run), Ganeash, Fazri and Chee Minh together with many others that I've yet to find out. Its always awesome to meet familiar faces, which added to the excitement.

All in all, totally can't wait, yo. Meanwhile, are you joining the run? Buzz me up then! The more the merrrier mah, ho ho ho :D

This Is It: Inmates Dancing With MJ's Actual Choreographer and Dancers

Who watched Micheal Jackson's This Is It at cinemas that day? To cut the story short, while I was fascinated with all the efforts that they did in creating the concert, it was also an emotional movie for me.

You see, I was too young to go to concerts when he made his stop in Malaysia few years ago. I would say that this movie is the closest thing I can get to watching him live, since he's already passed away...

So, while I checking out more information about the movie's home video release, I stumbled upon this excellent video showing the "Dancing Inmates" in Philippines, dancing to the exact same move that MJ would executes at his This Is It show, if he still around.

It Is So Hard These Days

Pensil patah, yo.

As of late, I found myself having trouble to write. I mean, not that I'm out of things to say or anything. Really, it is still not hard to find a topic/subject to write about but...entahlah.

After I get the initial draft done, I would found myself rewriting them again and again. 1 time...2 times...3 times...5 times...10 times, I lost count. This lead to productivity lost which are really bothering me.

Not only that, this "slowness" would also affect my free time which are already limited as it is, with other commitments such as uni, gym, quality time with missus and family. I felt so disappointed and sad whenever I have to tell the missus that I'm still occupied with work and I would be late in meeting her. I felt sad when I don't get to post here more often and etc etc etc.

It just sucks, you know. All in all, I've no idea why I suddenly becomes like this but I somehow think its related to this "insecure" situation that I found myself into. Yeah, most probably it is because not once in a day that I would not think of it.

The problem is I've no solution for it...more like, I've no time to provide a solution for it. So far, the situation asks me to wait and survive. *tsk tsk tsk* Well, at least I got something to hold onto. Hope things going to change for the better soon.

Mercedes GP Petronas Car For F1 2010 Season

Personally, I was indeed a little bit heartbroken when Mercedes GP (formerly Brawn GP) announced that Petronas has agreed to become their title sponsor. Why not the locally-based (in future) Lotus F1 instead?

But then, it was most probably more like a business decision. I mean Micheal Schumacher weh...lots of company out there would jump at the opportunity, might as well be our national oil and gas company, right? So yeah, life goes on and I was pretty excited to see Mercedes GP Petronas F1 2010 car which was unveiled today.

As per previous Petronas-sponsored BMW Sauber car, the Merc is again not colored in Petronas corporate color. Instead it dons Merc's signature silver color. Some say its weird not having Petronas green on it but for me, having the Petronas (and Malaysia on the sides) name on the machine is already sufficed. To color it green...I'm guess its gonna cost Petronas more or no deal at all.

With Petronas done, now I can't wait to see Lotus F1 car next, scheduled to be launch on 12 February. Please don't let them paint it using the 1Malaysia color scheme. It just plain fugly!!

King Roo Roo Roo Ney Hits The Target, Accuracy Brings The Goal.

Accuracy is a potent weapon. Just see what Rooney did against Hull City last Saturday - not one, not two...but four freaking goals. There could be more but it was enough to put moi favorite team on top of the league. Even if it is not going to be for long.

Of course, all the goals would not be possible without the collective efforts from everybody at the most glorious team on earth that is Manchester United. Some also said that Hull City was too easy...whatever, man. Three goals in just 10 minutes; Rooney was just plain ridiculous that night.

Oh, wassup with this new vid from Nike Football? Spot fellow Nike Total 90 Laser III owner - Fernando Torres - there? He scored hatrick against Hull City too, back in September. Don't think it was a coincidence there. ;)
