This is a Hulme F1, a street-legal sports car developed in New Zealand. This twisted car looks like a stripped-down Lamborghini Gallardo (due to its headlights and orange paint, commonly associated with the Gallardo) and houses a BMW engine. The car, manufactured by Supercars Limited, was named after New Zealand's only F1 champion, Denny Hulme. The car is supposed to give the driver the same feeling and thrill as driving a real F1 car.
Last week, I talked about my favourite jet, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. This week, I will be talking about my favourite sports car brand, Lamborghini!
First up, the Lamborghini Gallardo. The standard Gallardo houses a 5 litre, V10 engine (10 pistons), 373kW (500bhp) base and a 510 N-m torque. The car is capable of going from 0-100km/h in 4 seconds, 0-200km/h in 14.5 seconds and a top speed of 309km/h.

The newer Gallardo SE (Special Edition) houses a meaner 388 kW (520 bhp) base. It is capable of going from 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 327km/h.

The newest 2007 Gallardo superleggra is the fastest of the three Gallardos. It boasts a carbon body, making it super light or superleggra. The car gets 10 extra hp (horse power) and 154 fewer pounds.

The Gallardos are actually slower than the Murcielago, but the Gallardos handle better, making it a more practical and safe car.

Lamborghini is also designing a new SUV, which will house a 6 litre V12 engine borrowed from the Murcielago. The new SUV also features some characteristics similar to the Murcielago, like its headlamps and its side air vent.

Mary received a parrot as a gift. The parrot was fully grown with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was a curse; those that weren't curses were to say the least, rude. Mary tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite things, words and playing soft music... anything she could think of. Nothing worked.She yelled at the bird and the bird got worse. She shook the bird and the bird got madder and more rude. Finally in a moment of desperation, Mary put the parrot in the freezer to get a minute of peace. For a few moments she heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly there was absolute quiet. Mary was frightened that she might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Mary's extended arm and said,
"I'm very sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior and I am sure it will never happen again."
Mary was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued,
"May I ask what the chicken did?"
Once some boys got together to play poker one night, after about 4 hours of playing, Tim had severe chest pains and suddenly slumped over. One of the gamblers who happened to be a doctor, examined him, and to everybodies shock, poor Tim had died of a heart attack.
All his friends didn't know how to break the news to his wife. Finally Johnny said,
'I can be diplomatic about it and break the news gently!'
Johnny rang the bell at Tim's house, and when his wife answered the door, he calmly said to her,
'Tim just gambled with us and lost 1,000 dollars!'
When Tim's wife heard this she said,
'Tell him to just drop dead!'
Johnny answered,
'That's exactly what he did!'
During the school holidays, I've been sitting around thinking of life. Then I realised that there were so many things in life that I want to do, but it is either too late, I have no courage, or I'm just plain lazy. It just sucks that my life is damn twisted. F*** this shit!
I wish my father could get my home's wireless internet system to work, so that I can play my Wi-Fi enabled games. There is so much happening online for my games, but I can't access them =(
SR-71 Blackbird
The SR-71 Blackbird (part of the Blackbird family, consisting of the A-12, YF-12 and M-21 varients), manufactured by Lockheed Skunk Works, is well known for its speed. This spy-jet is capable of flying at Mach 3 (3 times the speed of sound). The plane had its maiden flight in 1964. The plane was an early attempt at stealth technology, one of the first planes to be shaped to reduce radar cross section, but still had a large enough radar signature to be recognised as a plane. The M-21 varient could be equiped with a D-21 (Q-12) unmanned drone for strategic reconnaissance.

The Blackbird was so popular that Marvel Comics actually adapted it and redesigned the exterior for the X-Jet used by the X-Men.

On September 1, 1974 Major James V. Sullivan, 37 (pilot) and Noel F. Widdifield, 33 (reconnaissance systems officer), flashed across the starting line (radar gates in New York) at approximately 80,000 feet and speed in excess of 2,000 miles per hour. Exactly 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds later, they had set a new world speed record from New York to London England. The average speed was 1,807 statute mph over the 3,461 statute mile course, slowing to refuel one time from a specially modified KC-135 refueling tanker. The aircraft was placed on static display at Farnborough Air Show for 1 week. It marked the first time the secret plane had been on public display outside of the United States. Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson, the aircrafts designer, was on hand for the event. He remarked, "It (the SR-71) has exceeded all my expectations."
Another historic speed record was set on the return trip to the United States. Capt Harold B. Adams, 31 (pilot), and Major William Machorek, 32 (reconnaissance systems operator), set a speed record from London to Los Angeles. They returned the Blackbird 5,447 statute miles in 3 hours 47 minutes and 39 seconds for an average speed of 1,435 miles per hour. The difference in the two speed records was due to refueling requirements and having to slow over major US cities. Even so a large number of people in Los Angeles reported broken windows due to the sonic boom.
Life is boring. Today I went to choir practice. It started with PT where I played Badminton with Li Keen and Jun Chong. After which we had voice classes. The whole thing ended at 1.30pm.
Well luckily I don't have Madrasah (Religious Class) tomorrow because of the June holidays (but for 1 weekend only). Exams for my Quran reading coming up. Blahblahblah......................
Neo, your phone is ringing!
This puts MIB to shame =)
This too.
One word; Adeeb!
My favourite jet, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, using it's afterburners.
Full view of the Blackbird. Inspirational, isn't it?
I just read Li Keen's first post on his wierd dream, and strangely, I had one of my own just last night (is there a connection, LOL).
My dream starts with me sitting in the VS canteen, wif my best friends from Temasek sitting around one table. We were all in VS PE uniforms. Why would all my old friends whom most of them went to different schools be wearing VS PE uniforms? Then we were suddenly running along corridors. Somehow I just knew that the corridors were that of my old school, although it seemed different. We turned a corner and many random people ran past, with my kindergarten friend, Yusof (who still looked 6 years old, strangely) leading. This was quite random as I had not seen or talked to him since K2 (WTF!). Then the girls from my old class ran by, and the girl whom I have a crush on brushed against me. Then I fell infront of a doorway, with a sign which read 6A (which coincidentally was the same class which door I fell and hit, getting my scar and scaring the krap out of girls).
Then the girl whom I had a crush on helped me up. We started running again and reached the end of the corridor, turning right, facing the stairway. I mysteriously started to rise into the air (even more reason to shout, WTF!). Everything went black and I could only see the girl I had a crush on. Next thing I knew, I woke up.
Man was that spooky!
While visiting England, George Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people.
Bush asks how she knows if they're intelligent.
"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate."
Bush watches as the Queen phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am."
"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"
Bush nods: "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"
Bush, upon returning to Washington, decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. Bush summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."
"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"
Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?"
Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior Republican senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem.
"Now look here, son, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course."
Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!"
And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb shit, it's Tony Blair!"
I just bought a new game; M.A.C.H (Modified Air Combat Heroes). The game is about aeroplanes and you are the pilot. There are two modes in the game; Race and Dogfight, which explain themselves. The game is overall quite fun (considering that I love aeroplanes), although the wierd thing is that on the screen, 'X' is the button to select and 'O' is to deny. But actually, it is the opposite!
Today, I attended a photography workshop for my second CCA, Media Club. We first watched a presentation about camera parts, terms used in photography and finally examples of good and bad photos.
Then comes the fun part. We had a 1 hour break for lunch! Marcus, Li Keen and I decided to go and eat at Parkway Parade. We had a hard time deciding if we should eat at Mac Donalds, KFC or Burger King. We finally decided to eat at Burger King. After I finished lunch, Marcus and I went to the game shop to decide which game I wanted to buy. Li Keen meanwhile finished his meal. I then settled to buy the PSP game, M.A.C.H (Modified Air Combat Heroes).
After lunch, we assembled back at the Media Lab, only to find out that the teachers were very late! We waited for 10 minutes! We were then sent to the National Stadium to put our new knowledge in photography to use. I took 20 pictures while Ian Leong took 65! Boy was it a tiring day!
My Metagross is now level 100 too! Now I have a full party of 6 level 100 pokemon!
Choir is now more like 'Banshee Submarine' CCA. Today the S1s (stands for Soprano 1, which sing the absolute highest) were screeching 'Pum Pum' in the song 'Pokpok Alimpako', making them sound like the siren heard when a submarine is diving. At the end of practice, we all were forced to do pumping due to bad behaviour. So i'm now here, blogging, bored .......zzzzzzzzzzz!
A husband and wife had four boys. The odd part of it was that the older three had red hair, light skin, and were tall, while the youngest son had black hair, dark eyes, and was short.
The father eventually took ill and was lying on his deathbed when he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, before I die, be totally honest with me - is our youngest son my child?"
The wife replied, "I swear on everything that's holy that he is your son."
With that the husband passed away. The wife then muttered, "Thank God he didn't ask about the other three."
I now have 5 level 100 Pokemon. They are:
-Rayquaza
-Charizard
-Empoleon
-Giratina
-Luxray
May I conquer the Battle Tower with ease now!
First of all, I would like to appologise for any SMSes or calls that I did not receive yesterday as I had gone to Johor to attend a wedding and I do not have reception there.
Now on to yesterdays happenings:
Before entering the school for another session of Banshee Practice, I met Zaki! I said 'hi' and then entered the school. I use the word 'banshee' as the Sopranos (the section which sing the highest notes, which includes Li Keen) were more like screeching at one point in the song 'Pokpok Alimpako'. We then learnt a new song; 'Ondeh, Ondeh' (yum!).
After practice, I was immediately whisked away to the Second Link and entered Malaysia. Then came a boring two hour drive to my grandaunt's house. At the wedding, I did not eat anything as I hated traditional Malay food, well maybe not all of them I hate. maybe it was better that I did not touch the food as my parents had diarrhoea the next day a.k.a today. I reached home again at 10pm. Man am I tired! So, there you have it, the days happenings.
