Tiru macam saya..

Imitation is a form of flattery.
Its never easy to be an original with ideas that flourish when you execute it.
I've organized a few rides with some newcomers and they are quick to take my routes and use it as their motivation.
No issues with that as good things are meant to be shared.
But when people rip you off, there is cause for alarm.
I was supposed to go for a ride this weekend at Carey Island.
Its a simple 40km return trip. 
But due to work commitment, I am unable to do it.
Running parallel to my plan, is another guy who had announced the ride on Facebook.
This became his event now since I am unable to see to it.
Still, no issues. My style of doing things, planning and execution has always been copied. 
Ethics wise, I think its utterly shameless for a guy who thinks he is held in high esteem to rip off my plans..
Nevertheless, its an open plain. People are free to do what they feel is right.
On a hindsight, we will carry on doing what we do best: Keep on truckin'!

Oh no! F-1 Fever is back..

Wow! Its hard to believe that the Formula One race is back in KL.After 18 years, Malaysia is still hosting this prestigious race and for what? Frankly, I don't
know.To me, its an utter waste of time.I don't think the F1 is enjoying brisk ticket sales and most corporate citizens are arm-twisted
to get seats for their clients.Petronas, our big boy in the oil business has pumped-in a lot of money to promote Malaysia
as a motorsports destination and my question is this: How does it benefit the layman?As a pre-publicity ploy to hype up race day (which is one day in a weekend), lots of company
sponsors of the F-1 race are holding parties.I just came across one that reads: "By invitation only: covering celebrities, prominent
businessmen and corporate personalities".If I translate this correctly, it literally means: losers, wannabes and bloodsuckers.The F-1, despite its glitz and glam shit, will be around even long after I am gone.I for one, am sad because there are so many fake people out there who buys this F-1 shit.Money being put into the race track can be utilised for more good like better public housing
and roads.And like my brother in-law who is a Petronas employee once said: "The F-1 image is good
for selling petrol and lubricants.."
