Rambling on…

I never thought of this before, but this blog post has made me dwell on the matter a bit. It’s something I’ve taken from granted. I wonder if anyone has a list of games that are colour blind friendly?

You may or may not know that I am red-green colorblind. Money looks grey to me, pink looks white, brown looks green. No big thing. Since I was born colorblind, I have no frame of reference for how the world is “supposed” to look and, therefore, I’m not constantly in a state of misery and woe over the fact that I can’t differentiate maroon from purple.

It’s been revealed on Autosport that Sepang now too wants a night race and is reportedly working with the same team of people who are responsible for setting up Singapore’s lighting system.

Now, it’s known that Singapore has always tried to do a ‘one up’ on Malaysia. And generally, they’ve succeeded in outdoing Malaysia. Two most recent examples come to mind:

• The Eye on Malaysia (an obvious knockoff of the 135 metre high London Eye), a 60 metre ferris wheel has Singapore’s 150 metre Singapore Flyer to contend with.
• Then there’s the Singapore Grand Prix, which will be the first night race in Formula 1’s history.

The Singapore Grand Prix has already been dubbed as the Monaco of the East, and yet we have yet to even see F1 cars race in anger there. So, not wanting to be outdone, Sepang has also announced plans to run a night race, preferably in 2009. A case of too little, too late? Not only that… it just screams of “ME TOOO!! I WANT SOME ATTENTION!!!”

Doesn’t it remind you of something? “Ooo.. everyone has a sent a man into space, we can’t be left out! Let’s call ours an Angkasawan and let him hitch a ride with a Russian spacecraft!” Nevermind that we don’t have any program that deserves nor warrants the word ’space’ in front of it…

Sigh… When will there be some form of creative thought and initiative from our ‘higher ups’?

Here’re the rest of the pics! If you missed the first post, here it is. EXIF info has been retained if you’re interested in finding out the settings used.

As you may already know, Tango and I, armed with our trusty Nikons went to Bukit Jalil to get some photos taken at the Xtreme Nights event held on 7-8 December. Yes, there were cars. Yes, there was booming music. Yes, there were loads of riced up cars. Yes, there were models.

So where are the pics? Well… let’s get the boring stuff out of the way first huh? Bring on part one….

“What?! Where are the chicks??!” I hear you exclaim? Laterlaaaa… doing post processing…

I came across this link to John Harrington’s article while perusing Rob Galbraith’s excellent site.

It’s not your standard review/comparison… but it’s definitely worth a look.
