Zulfahmi menyerlah di Losail

*NOTE: POST INI DITULIS SECARA RASMI UNTUK MALAYSIANRIDERS*


Bermula dari petak 7 untuk kategori Moto3 pada MotoGP pertama tahun 2012 di Losail, Qatar, Zulfahmi mengekalkan rentak cemerlang sejak ujian bebas dengan mengekalkan kedudukannya sebelum maju untuk berada di kedudukan ke-6.

Biarpun 2 pemenang mendahului jauh di depan, Zulfahmi kekal dalam kumpulan pengejar sebanyak 7 buah motor dan saling bertukar kedudukan 5 ke 7. Dengan perlumbaan berbaki 3 pusingan, beliau membuat tindakan berani di laluan lurus untuk berada di tempat keempat tetapi terus dipotong oleh pesaing terdekatnya.

Menuju ke pusingan terakhir, Zulfahmi sekali lagi menerjah ke depan kumpulan pengejar ini dan berjaya meraih tempat ke3 tetapi gagal bertahan lama apabila kembali diasak dan diatasi pada selekoh seterusnya. Beliau akhirnya menamatkan perlumbaan pada kedudukan ke6 keseluruhan.

Moto3 dimenangi pelumba muda 17 tahun Maverick Vinales dari Sepanyol (FTR Honda-Blusens Avintia), diikuti Romano Fenati dari Itali(FTR Honda-Italia FMI), dan Sandro Cortese (RedBull KTM Ajo) dari Jerman menyempurnakan kedudukan podium. 2 lagi pelumba yang menamatkan saingan di hadapan Zulfahmi adalah Luis Salom dan Miguel Oliviera.

Tahniah Zulfahmi!! Semoga mendapat kedudukan podium di perlumbaan seterusnya..

Adnan Sempit 2

Watched with my beloved mum-to-be to my kid, my wife!! at Space U8. This is our & my first movie at Space U8 Bkt Jelutong.

OK. we arrived there late. We missed like 15 minits of the movie.

But we decided to just watch it because, it is Adnan Sempit!!! You won't miss any important scenes. Simply because every scene are important (or not).

Movie lawak gila babas sambungan dari Adnan Sempit first yang boom!! Movie ini tiada beza kerana semua scene lawak memang lawak pecah gelak pecah panggung.

Kalau first AS pasala Adnan nak ngorat Nadia, this one Adnan nak convince parent Nadia pulak.

Nothing much to komen sebab movie ni memang sempoi, direct, lawak, gelak la sampai puas.

Kualiti lakonan?? Susah nak cakap sebab intention of this movie memang untuk lawak, nothing serius. So, I don't know lakonan yang obvious nampak fake tu intended to be like that or memang pelakonnya kayu tak reti berlakon. hehe.

Finally... happy ending ler....

Enjoy!!

Azura 2012

I was so excited when I first heard of this; Azura in cinema? then I heard it is Azura 2012. I started to wonder why Azura? what it has to do with the old Azura? Is it a sequel? I thought so, I thought it is a continuity of the old Azura, where maybe their kids are now facing new love challenge or something.

Went to watch with my beloved wife at KLCC.

Azura 2012 really surprised me because it turned out something I did not expect (obviously, daaa)....

It is a refreshed product of old Azura. Have you watched King Kong? oh, of which year's you watched it? or even Hulk?? similar here!!!

Azura 2012 starred by the awesome-figured Neelofa (a BOM in Malaysia entertainment industry since she won Dewi Remaja)!!

OK. I assume many people knows Azura movie (either old or new). So I won't go to summary/sinopsis of the movie. The story line is the same.

My view to this new Azura.... It is still THAT simple Azura. the plot is presented straight forward. very light movie (just like the old one). Very light. Simple. Just watch. See. Feel (a bit). You get it. You understand it. That's all.

If you like mind-challenging movie, this is not your movie. Hehe.

In term of the acting quality, everyone did great job except for the bitchy sister. She's FAILED big time for this movie. When everyone has perform their role perfectly, she is like, I don;t know how to describe. I even wonder why she is in the movie. Because of her look? no way, she's not pretty. She can act? no she can't, everything look fake. Ok next!!

as for the star appearance of Ogy & Faizal hussein, that was real classic.

After all, kudos to Neelofa!! You made the movie. Haha.

Chiao!
