Malaysia seems to be doing well this time in the XIX (19) Commonwealth Games staged in New Delhi, India which runs from 3rd to 14th October 2010.  Malaysia is sitting at 7th spot with 35 medals… 12 gold, 10 silver and 13 bronze.

The best medals collection for Malaysia before was during the XVI (16) Commonwealth Games staged at home in Kuala Lumpur with 36 medals… 10 gold, 14 silver and 12 bronze at 4th spot. Comparing this year 2010 games with the 1998 games,  you can see that total medal collection is short one medal… but it improved on gold medal collection, 12 compared to 10 and silver with 13 compared to 12. But collection for silver is short of 1 medal… only 10 compared to 14.

Although Malaysia did not bring home any trophies, the better gold medals collection is enough to make some smiling. Let’s wait and see what Malaysia can do on the next games… the XX (20) Commonwealth Games in 2014 to be held in Glasgow, Scotland.

The overall winner for XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 is Australia with 35 gold medals followed by India and England with 25 and 22 gold medals respectively.

The 2009 Formula 1 officially started today with free practice session at the Formula 1 ING Australia Grand Prix. The 2009 Formula 1 ING Australia Grand Prix will be held in Melbourne, Australia starting today, 27 March 2009 with free practice, then for tomorrow, Saturday 28 March 2009, with time-trial and the Final Race on Sunday, 29 March 2009.

I really hope I can go and watch the race in Australia… but I have to leave that as my dream for now. Right now, my wish is to get free tickets… not the New York Yankees tickets but for the 2009 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix at Sepang on 3 – 5 April 2009! If I were staying in Kuala Lumpur, I definitely will not miss the race. Too unfortunate if I were to go and watch the race in Sepang, I have to get air ticket and hotel room.

I don’t support or fancy for driver, but I’m more for team. My all time favorite team is McLaren-Mercedes. My second favorite team is the young Toyota F1 team. I also support the BMW Sauber team.

Some people support and become fans for driver, but I don’t because team drivers can change but team never change.

I hope McLaren-Mercedes will win the constructor/team championship this year. Last year they almost grab the title but they were penalized where they lost some points and Ferrari took the constructor/team championship.

But McLaren-Mercedes first driver, Lewis Hamilton, won the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship for driver.

And I hope Toyota can improve their position this year. Last year they took the 5th spot for the constructor/team championship.
