Change, eh?

Ken (I know you read my blog even if only ocassionally) must be very happy with the US Presidential election result. Oh, maybe not just happy - overjoyed is more like it. He has never been too happy with having 'an idiot' (his word, not mine) as president.

Barack Hussein Obama's speech gave goosebumps not just to Americans but million, if not billion, others all around the world, as the hunger for a change in American leadership is as strong outside the US as in it.

Change was what Blair promised with the New Labour's landslide victory in 1997.

Change was also what people hoped for when Pak Lah led BN to a big win in this country's election in 2004.

Well, it's my hope that Obama (and others who called for "change") learn some lesson from others' mistakes...

Having said that, this blog remains an apolitical one...

I'm glad that Lewis Hamilton won the F1 World Champion, while hubby has to be satisfied with Ferrari winning this year's constructors championship. He would be even more delighted if Massa had won the driver's championship. I admit that Massa is a good driver, but I feel more for Kimi Raikonnen...

F1 is one of the things I have started to enjoy after marriage - one of hubby's likes that I have grown to like too. He also enjoys watching EPL matches, which is not a difficult thing for me to appreciate, since I used to watch (and discussed) EPL back when I was in Leeds.

But we do not have to agree on everything - he supports Ferrari, while I prefer McLaren (Raikonnen used to drive for McLaren before he joined Ferrari, so that explains me having a soft spot for the Iceman) Hubby is a big fan of Manchester United, while I would support any other team but MU (with exception of Chelsea). Both my brothers too are fans of the Red Devils, and in fact I'd had to buy a lot of souvenirs from Old Trafford for them and my younger cousins before I returned home from UK.

I have nothing againts MU - only that I think that they are over rated.
Just like Ferrari team is over rated in F1.
Or roses are over rated among flowers.
