Upcoming Airasia livery
Hope you enjoyed looking at the many liveries of Airasia in the previous post. What was the purpose of that? So I could lead you into this next post which is going to talk about a guaranteed upcoming livery. For starter's though, I'm recapping F1. Promise it will lead back to Airasia.
So Renault is temporarily banned. Honda left before this season even began. BMW is leaving at the end. Toyota is not sure of its spot next season. If worst comes to worst there will only be 2 engine suppliers next year, Ferrari and Mercedes. But let's not forget the newcomers. 4 of them. Campos F1, Manor F1, US F1, and Lotus. Lotus used to compete in F1 back in the 1980s and today is owned by Proton. So I was reading all about it...yada yada yada....and then...WHAT?!
Lotus will be rejoining F1 under the team name of 1Malaysia F1?????????? OH no. How much will it cost? RM1 billion a year. I see.... Well .....I do hope the paint scheme for the car is nice. Btw, is there a model car of the team that i can s- GARRGHH!!!
Oh no non ono nono no.....this is really embarrasing for my country....too many bloody number ones when I suspect that we will be the last car on the track!
Again, what does this have to do with a guaranteed upcoming Airasia livery? Well, apparently the team principal for 1Malaysia F1 is ....(drumroll)...Uncle Tony Fernandes of AirAsia! Yes folks now you can see that in the near future, unless the tragedy of a paint scheme above is redesigned, one of AirAsia's planes too will become a tragedy of a livery.
In the meantime, may the underdogs continue to dominate the rest of the 2009 F1 season!

The Colors of (Air) Asia
Aih.....so sorry la guys my Jogja post still in the works (that means indefinitely on hold). In the meantime let me reward you for your efforts in coming to this page with some liveries of Air Asia.
As you know Air Asia has sponsorships with lots of companies. Because of this, it has quite a few planes painted in special liveries that feature the brands that it sponsors. AirAsia also boasts the awards it wins by painting them on its planes too. Though using airplanes as billboards is nothing new, Airasia is the first airline to pursue this strategy aggressively.
The old inverse red and white livery of AirAsia that was painted on its old fleet of 737s which are mostly being retired nowadays and replaced with the A320s above.
This livery was the winning design in a competition amongst students at some university in Thailand.
Promoting amazing Thailand.
Sponsors of the Amazing Race Asia
Bearing the Malaysian flag on an old 737. Really wish they would paint one of their new A320's in this livery too.
Promoting Tourism Malaysia's new 'Zoom Malaysia' Campaign
Bank Rakyat. must be the 1st bank in the sky
Promoting itself as 'ASEANS' (South-East Asian Association) airline
AirAsia X sponsoring the livery of the laughing stock of the American NFL. Though I wish Mr Tony has chosen a better team, I can see why the Oakland Raiders were chosen. AA-X plans to fly to America pretty soon and is eyeing a cheap airport on the west coast of America, preferably in California. By sponsoring an American team, Airasia is hoping to spread brand awareness of AirAsia to Americans travelling in Asia, so that when the airline finally does fly to America, its brand would have gained some recognition amongst the locals. And of course, by picking a shitty team to sponsor, that means sponsorship is cheap. Another innovative cost saving measure by AirAsia...
...which is no doubt the World's Best Low Cost Carrier! (MU fans, FYI, this used to be the Manchester United plane. Guess Airasia doesnt have to hang around with shoddy outfits now that it's the world's best)
...and before that it was Airline of the Year 2007! (Who cares where these awards come from? What matters is that Airasia has them!)

AirAsia reaches the States first.
According to this article in USA Today AirAsia is in the works to fly to either Los Angeles or New York by 2010.
Without a doubt AirAsia is Malaysia's most innovative company in history. Perhaps the most innovative LCC ever. AirAsia must be the first LCC to try and spread its wings so far. Other LCC's like Southwest, Ryanair, and Easyjet just stay in their market zones and continue capturing from the legacies. Hope Tony Fernandes knows what he's doing, and most especially, the people who are going to run AirAsia after him. Would be a shame to have AirAsia crash under its own weight.
The thing that worries me is the battering that AirAsia, and other LCC's in the region are facing from the global recession. Buying more and more planes with no one to ride them. I think right now Tony Fernandes goal is just to whether the storm until the boom times come.
Also this article from FlightGlobal tells nicely about the convergence that is happening between legacy carriers and LCC's over time. As LCC's continue to grow and expand their fleet, they deviate from the purist low-cost model that differentiated them in the beginning. Legacy carriers on the other hand, have begun offering just as competitive prices (eg. Malaysia Airlines), forming theier own LCC subsidiaries, or buying stakes in private LCCs. In the end, they are all converging to the middle ground, in which case the legacy carriers have the upper hand at the moment because of extra comfort and mileage points.
Read the article yourself for the whole picture!
In the meantime, AirAsia come to America quick!

Tak de kerja lain. (Nothing better to do)
Ever since the the military coup 3 years ago, Thailand has not been functioning. Protest after protest after protest that is sometimes no different from rioting has occured. Last year the Yellow Shirts opposed to Thaksin's gangs took over government buildings and the new airport. They finally stopped when they got their way and Samak resigned.
Now the Red Shirts have stormed government buildings, forced the cancellation of an ASEAN summit, and are demanding the resignation of the PM elected after Samak, Abhisit.
If you think you qualify as the concerned world-minded citizen that you should be, you would have already been reading up on the Bangkok protests the past few days.
Even if you are not the world minded citizen that you should be, but are the avid YouTube addict, you should definitely take a look at some of the videos of the protests. The ferocity and intensity of the people is really terrifying. Im not posting links but you can look them up on BBC, Al Jazeera, and yes, your favorite YouTube.
Now that the Red Shirts are protesting, there are no Yellow Shirts around to stop them. And these two colors are at odds with one another. But it seems that all they want to do is fight the Prime Minsiter. Even when the current PM resigns, another color will come up and protest
Is there a possibility that these are the very same protestors over and over again but just tukar baju? (wearing different color clothes?)
Cause it reeally seems like these people are not really fighting a cause but just want to vent some anger and mayhem. GO SEE THE VIDEOS AND THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
To me, it just seems like these Thai people have 1)lost their jobs due to the economic downturn caused in part by the protests 2) never had jobs and just want some excitement in life.
whatever it is, it is seriously hurting Thailand. In economics, we have market failure. to me this is democratic rights failure. Clearly allowing these people to do what they want is not doing any good for the country. the miliary and the police are just standing there. Occassionally they bulk up and forced the protesters back with water guns and tear gass, and even live firing over protestor's heads, but in other videos they are just chillling back and lettting the protestors stand on their tanks.

- Flaming driverless busses are being used as unguided missiles.
- Protestors are climbing aboard army tanks and the soldiers aren't even trying to stop them.
- People are beating tanks with sticks and kicking them with their bare feet.
- People tried to destroy the PM's car with their bare hands.
- What on earth has happened to the peaceful Thailand that we knew? Why is the country so deeply divided?
- Where do all these people come from? The crowds are so massive. Are these all the unemployed people who have lost their jobs?

Testimony of a boardgame
When introducing a new boardgame to players, there will usually be people who like the game (those who won or almost won) and those who dislike it (those who end up last or near last).
Thus you can tell that a boardgame is truly TRULY great when even the player who finishes last says that it was fun.
Power Grid. #3 in the world!

Today I went to the post office to send a package.
Post office lady: Did you buy some Chinese New Year stamps a while ago?
Me: err...yes.
Post office lady: But you never got them right?
Me: err....yeah. i couldn't find them. I always thought they were somewhere in my bag.
Post office lady: No. You left them here on the counter. I've been looking out for you ever since, but you never came back till now. Let me get them for you.
I had bought those $5 stamps more than a month ago.

Good Samaritan
From now on I shall create a new series of posts to immortalize the kind and miraculous deeds of people to me and also to others so that all may bask in their kindness. let these accounts brighten our day and be a model of behavior for our very selves in our dealings with others, especially in these times where Ayn Rand's godless heresies continue to propagate upon the people's despair.

Determination
of a kid who really did not want to miss a day of school.
Read the following news article from Gamespot that made my day.
Read the following news article from Gamespot that made my day.
Grand Theft Auto teaches 6-year-old to drive
Just what are children learning when exposed to violent video games like Grand Theft Auto? How to drive, according to one Virgina 6-year-old.;)
The Associated Press is reporting that the child missed the bus to school Monday morning, and decided to take his family's Ford Taurus instead. The boy made it almost six miles before crashing into an embankment and utility pole just a mile-and-a-half shy of the school. He suffered only minor injuries, and a county sheriff told the news agency the determined boy began walking the rest of the way to school after the crash.
According to the report, the boy told police he had learned to drive by playing unspecified games in the Grand Theft Auto and Monster Jam series.
The boy's mother was asleep when he took the car keys, police said, and both parents are charged with child endangerment. Both the boy and his 4-year-old brother were placed in protective custody.

EA Using Sex to Sell
Never has C&C or any other respectable game done this before. The promotion for RA3 has been frequent and heavy, but you soon realise that most of it is promoted using women and their sexiness. C&C has always been known for its live action cutscenes that fans are grateful was brought back in the 3rd iterations. But in RA3, there are just too many women, and all of them are wearing skimpy uniforms more suitable for pornos or slutty halloween celebrations than the military theatre. Shame on you EA LA. Shame on you for resorting to such base line tactics. This game better be as good as the women are.
The poster that comes with the Premier Edition that costs twice as much that I'm going to get for free. Yay!
Never Had a Chance to say goodbye
I haven’t been home in a year. And the home I’m going to in December wont be the same. I’m not a Bangsar kid anymore. I’m now a Kiara kid. I never got the opportunity to take a last look at my home before we moved.
Luckily, my brother was wise enough to post some pics of the house before we left.
You can also see a brief pic of my new home on the header of his blog.

EA has quality control!
The upcoming FPS based on C&C3 Tiberium Wars simply called Tiberium has been cancelled because it did not meet the internal quality audit of the EA studio developing it.
Kudos to EA! We don't want trashy games that lower the standard of the series. Personally, I wasn't ever really interested in Tiberium. Compared to it, Renegade has me more excited because of the fact that you were actually shooting at NOD soldiers, instead of some alien-spinoffs.
