Will any of these records be broken ?

I first started watching F1 when I was around primary 3 at my mum's fren's house , when i saw Schumacher battling Damion Hill whom won the driver's championship that year by a single point .

It wasnt a fairy tale ending for Schumacher's career as he didnt managed to win the last grand prix of his career . Due to unforseen circumtances where by this tyre punctured after a brillant move which saw him overtaking Fisichella , Nevertheless It was a fantastic race for him as he climbed up from last place to fourth displaying his overtaking abilities which is often called Michael Magic by Commentators and Fans alike . It is easy to declare the end of an era , just like it is to acclaim a flawed genius . Where Schumi is concerned , there's no doubt about either . His time has past and the world might never see anyone like him again .His status in the pantheon of greats will be argued for years to come . After saluting the fans and bidding farewell after his fourth place finish in the Brazilian Grand Prix there was a sense of closure . There had been Ups and Downs during his career when the little known German made his sensational debut of Jordan at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix .Schumacher may be the greatest , although there are many who will dispute that , however a fact is that he had an undeniable genius .He will be missed by many but not everyone.As a driver he has broken almost every record in the book that may never be done again , and thus I wish him the best in his post racing career

Brunei

Brunei is all jungle, so it's hot and humid throughout the year. A rainy season (of sorts) extends from September to January, but there is plentiful rainfall throughout the year.

During my 1 day tour there we visited mosque and museum , a.k.a M&M we also visited Kampong Ayer (the water village) by a taxi boat. It's a beautiful sight to see hundreds of houses seemingly floating on water . For lunch we had a "buffet" at an italian restuarnt , no idea why it was a buffet because there wasn't any resupply of the food and some people only had soup for lunch . We complained to the tour guide about this , however he said it was'nt supposed to happen as they had intended enough -.-" , he blamed others for taking too much food ( ITS A BUFFET!, WTF) The shopping centres there didnt had much things to buy other den the tons of pirated VCD/DVDs which were selling for B$1 each , there were lots of imitation goods from various brands ( addidas , billiabong , CK , u name it they have it ) .

The petrol B$.53/l there is cheaper then Coke !!

Upon ariving in Singapore I felt kinda lost , things are different after being in the wildness for so long .Its good to be home again =)
