2nD daY oF CNY !!!!!

2008-02-09T05:41:00.000+08:00

I'm here blogging at this wee hour. Basically I just finish clearing up my house and therefore I've some spare time to blog.

This is the first time that I'm actually inviting my friends over to my house during CNY and I guess it is a really memorable and fruitful one.

Attendees of the day: VICTOR, RINA, ROYCE, JEROLD, KAREN, CAROLYN, BERLIN, ALAN, STEVE, XIAO MEI, JACKY, NICHOLAS.

We had steamboat first before heading towards our gambling session. It was really fun having so many friends gathering together and celebrating CNY and it's been a really long time since the gang of us last gathered together, so I don't know when will be the next time. We played mahjong and BlackJack with cold hard cash. Although I lost, this is the first time I lost happily. HAHA !! Too bad we didnt take any pictures, if not I will definitely post it up.

Thanks to everyone for attending this to make it possible.

We have already planned for next year CNY, it will be Berlin and Alan's turn to organise this type of gathering at their new house. Definitely looking forward to it!!

I'm off to take a shower now. HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE !!!

GONG XI FA CAI !!

Area6 Outing 2008

2008-01-26T00:40:00.000+08:00

I guess this is my 1st time having a KFC outing with all the managers on 24/01.08. Previously I was a staff and yeah, outings were mainly own store outing/beach day or we organise the outing ourselves. This is the first time I'm having a KFC outing with all the managers.

Suppose to meet up with my store managers at 7pm but they reached 7.15pm and I was there all alone reading newspapers and saw many other managers from other stores that I don't know walked pass me. I'm glad after this time, I know most of the managers in the same area as me.

Went to K-Box at AMK(the newly opened one at K-Plaza I think) and we had a room specially for us. It was spacious, with buffet and also a pool table. Drinks were aplenty and they ordered 7jugs of beer and opened a bottle of Gin Tonic. As I don't like to sing, I just eat and then chit chatted with them. Most of the time I'll be drinking though. I think I drank a total of 2jugs and then few cups of Gin Tonic. I had a paper the next day. *LOL* Guess I'm the only one enjoying myself while they are studying hard for the paper.

Reached home around 2am and then went online until 3+ before I hit the sack. Wanted to wake up at 9am the next day to study but woke up at 10+ with a heavy head. Just forced myself to study and I guess the paper pretty alright but I have no confident that I'll do well.

Just got home from late night movie (27 Dresses is a must watch) and had supper with my fren. So taaaadaaa, I'm here typing this post. Got to sleep already, waking up early in the morning to catch Australia Open Ladies Finals. Hope Ivanovic will win.

Nights and God Bless !!

1st post for 2008 !

2008-01-19T01:05:00.000+08:00

It's been a long long time since i last posted. Those avid readers of my blog fret not. I'll be coming back to blog as I was busy with school projects and my tests had just ended.

2008 had definitely gone on smoothly for me. Things goes on without a hitch and I am looking forward to the end of year 2 of poly and progressing towards the end of poly life. Gonna have my attachment during Feb to Apr and that's when I'm havin my holidays and therefore my holidays is burned. Will be attaching to KFC de HQ.. *LOL*

Another thing to look forward is my driving practical test on 6th Feb which is CNY eve. Hope the tester is in a good mood and pass me. Wahahaha :)

Been watching a lot of movies recently and over the past few months. National Treasure, I am Legend, One missed Call, Body 19, Grand De Chef, Elizabeth the new age, American Gangster. Definitely going to watch more movie in the upcoming weeks with 3:10 to Yuma on the top of my list, Sweeny Todd releasing soon and then our local film directed by Jack Neo which will be releasing on CNY.

Also gonna organise a gathering for TP-KFC peeps during the 2nd day of CNY with mahjong session and poker session.. Wahahaha .. !!

To fellow SP students, all e best in the upcoming exams!! =)

FOOD IMPLOSION !!

2007-11-27T00:28:00.000+08:00

First and foremost I would like to say about the eating competition held in school which is called FOOD IMPLOSION!

The very first time that I joined any competition in SP and of cause my first time joining any eating competition!! My team consist of me, ZiJing, GuoWei and Alvin. Today was the preliminary round and our team managed to make it to the semi final which will be held on Thursday and if we get through the finals will be on the very next day.

The 4 of us had to eat 2 CHIFFON CAKE, 2 CARROT, 1 BIG PAPAYA, 1 CUP OF BAKED BEANS, 1 BIG PLATE OF RICE and also drink 2 BOTTLES OF MINERAL WATER !!! We have to finish everything in less than 20minutes and no one can vomit and finish in the top 3 for our round to make it to the semis. We managed to do everything but I didn't know how long we took. We were second in our round.

Well, eating the Chiffon cake was terrible, i swear never to eat that again man!! I was mixing the Chiffon cake together with papaya to make it easier to swallow. Conclusion, the combination sucks. Hopefully the food for Thursday will be much better.

* My Industrial attachment to KFC HQ as a trainer has been approved by HR, so will go down to HQ 1 fine day to fill in the form and I hope it'll be approved by school eventually.*

KFC DINNER & DANCE 2007

2007-11-22T01:17:00.000+08:00

It was rather dull as for the whole event, nothing much amuse me except for those nice dresses the girls wore and of cause the lucky draw. Having tough luck as it's my 4th time going for D&D and I've never won anything before. Guess next year will be my last year going for the company D&D before I'm leaving it for good. Shouldn't be too wordy i guess, so i should let my picture do the talking.

m'am siti and me

Me with both M'ams ( I'm so fortunate ) ^_^

Jamal and ME (J8 buddy)

XiaoMei (just become a Mummy)

Jane ( she's tall la, but she's wearing heels)

Hahahaha.. If u take a close look at my photos, you can see that I took mostly with girls. LOL.. Certainly very fortunate and lucky huh, so many girls are willing to take photo with me. *Ahem*

Overall, I had an ejoyable time at the dinner taking photos with many people whom I may only see them once a year. Which is why the Dinner and Dance is such and eventful event for me. I've some more photos else where. I'll post them when i receive it.

I shall sign off then. Takkaire guys and love you all =)

2nd November'

2007-11-03T00:53:00.000+08:00

A VERY BIG HAPPY BRITHDAY TO NICHOLAS YONG!!

In the afternoon went to AMK Mac to study with Kok Wee and Chi Chao, to think that I actually studied *LOL* Of cause I'll study when the time comes, and especially next week is my mid semester test. I don't want to fail and modules and prolong my stay in Poly.

After studying, met up with Karen, Victor, Melissa, Yu Xiang and Xin Hua to go to the airport to receive the RCC players. Upon reaching the airport, we then meet up with Alan, Berlin. So when to the belt to wait for the arrival of the team. Then met up with Tracy, Jacqueline, Mayuri's boyfriend and Kang Nie's boyfriend. Waited pretty long as they went to bought stuffs from DFS. Don't know why but very excited to meet up with them. Congratulations, hugs were aplenty. Although i didn't get to hug any, just handshake. *giggles*

Most of them parted way as they have their love ones to fetch them. So another group of us went to terminal 1 to have our dinner, namely ME, Victor, Karen, Alan, Berlin, Yu Xiang, Melissa, Xin Hua, Tracy, Jerold, Leo and Royce. Went to Popeyes and the chicken is really up to standard. The skin is really nice however it still loses out to KFC.

Wonder what gifts they have for me. *LOL* I think I'm really thick skin enough.

Last but not least, CONGRATULATION to all the winners again! :)

RCC 2007'

2007-11-02T02:01:00.000+08:00

Here to blog about RCC 2007. Although i'm not able to play this year, I still think I played a huge part in this event. Rewinding back to June when i helped out in the NCC as a set-up team and fast forward to their training where me and Victor will go down dilligently when we're free to help out as customers. It's certainly the happy memories that keeps the spirit of the game alive !!

I must say I was realli jealous not envious. Jealous as they can go to HongKong. However I'm able to stay in touch with the team when they are in Hongkong as Jerold was keeping me updated with the situation over there.
( The bill this month must have cost a bomb, I sms like countless messages and I even called there, gosh!!! Definitely kanna whack by parents)

1st November is their playoff and they playoff at 10am. Jerold was the first cook, Mayuri first base, Kang Nie second base and Liza second cook. Royce was the manager. I couldn't be there physically to support them but I'm always mentally with them. I was very anxious to know the results.

So in the evening I went down to Thomson Plaza to share with them the results first hand. Many were very interested to know the results, upon knowing the result, I consolidated it and forward to a lot of people. You can see how much this event/competition is well received and supported in KFC-Singapore. I guess I've never been so patriotic before.

Results as follows:

Executional Excellence Award

Least Waste : Singapore (Mayuri & Kang Nie) & South Korea
Fastest Cook : Malaysia & HongKong
Most accurate cashier : Malaysia & HongKong
Most customers served : Malaysia & HongKong

Individual Award

Best Cashier : Singapore (Jerold), HongKong & Taiwan
Best Base : Hong Kong, Malaysia & South Korea
Best Cook : 2 Hong Kong & Malaysia
Best Manager : Singapore (Royce), Malaysia & HongKong

I guess the results were quite satisfying as HongKong dominated most of the category as they are the host country. Will be receiving them from the airport tomorrow!

Looking forward to RCC 2008 !! Hope I'll still be able to play a part in one way or another :)

Updates

2007-10-25T22:20:00.000+08:00

Thank You Han Leng for reminding me that I have yet to post, just feeling tired therefore decided not to post and there's nothing juicy for me to gossip about, so no posting.

Just a few updates before I go..

1) I've finally received the video of the competition last year with KFC. However i couldn't upload it as the file size is too huge. ( so any kind soul out there can teach me how to compress/reduce the file size so I can post it up and share it with you all.)
I waited for nearly a year for the video and I nearly cried when I watched it. Now I cant get enough of it and will watch it every now and then.

2) I just bought a endowment policy with AIA. Every month will have to put aside S$200 for the next 12years however the policy will only mature after 24years, by then I'll be like 43years old already. (knowing I've a large sum of money else where is COOL)

3) Just booked my Traffic Police test for MotorCar. Test will be 2008, 6th Feb. It's Chinese New Year Eve and hopefully after i passed, I will be able to own a vehicle and drive to school when year 3 starts. That will be even cooler!!

4) RCC team 2007 is flying off to HongKong for the competition this coming Tuesday! All the very best to them and hope they bring back some medal and do themselves and Singapore proud!! I'll be there to send them off as next week it's e-learning week, which means no school...HURRAY !! But on hindsight, after e-learning week it'll be MST week... TESTS TESTS TESTS !! How am i going to do well ?? (Definitely hope for the best)

Sorry for another lengthy post... Better at expressing myself with words....

Takkaire =)

BROTHER ......

2007-10-19T00:02:00.000+08:00

Just came back home after movie with Berlin, Alan, Victor, Karen and Nana. Went to Yishun10's cinema to watch Brother.

It actually kinnda 'suck' to an extent because as it was pretty slow and quite predictable at times. However it has an under-lying purpose. The director is trying to bring out the real meaning of what is BROTHER-HOOD through the usage of triad society.

The elder brother ( Michael Miu ) deserves applause from me because he's too noble. Noble to an extent that he is willing to do everything to handover the business to his brother ( Eason Chan ) ensuring his brother takeover with no criminal record and in the process getting killed by you guess who, his younger brother of cause. Shall not elaborate any further, want to know more of the show, go and watch it yourself.

Rate this show 4/5, the next movie I want to watch is Lust, Caution. Hopefully I can get to watch before it is being removed from screen.

Tata........

Week in Review 8/10-14/10

2007-10-15T20:46:00.000+08:00

8th Oct, Monday

Actually i was suppose to have my Final Theory Test but it got hold back because I've other errands to run. I'm supposed to reach HQ of KFC at 3pm to pick up 1 of the People's Republic of China (PRC) staff which will be working at my store. Have to bring her from the HQ to her house(have to teach her how to go back home from HQ) and then from her house have to teach her how to go to her workplace. Luckily her house is very near to the workplace, saves time and money on transport. After which it's already 6pm when I'm done with both things. Whereby my FTT is at 4.30PM. So I made another appointment which will be on the 24th Oct.

9th Oct, Tuesday

Nothing much happened. Went down to RCC training and went back pretty early as they only run 1 round.

10th Oct, Wednesday

Pratically slacked at home. Don't feel like doing anything. Watched movie throughout the whole day at home.

11th Oct, Thursday

I did went to school today and it was pretty tiring and one of the teacher asked me is this the first time I am attending his lessons.*laughs* It was a lab lessons and I didn't do the beginner part and now I'm into the advanced part already. Haha. After school went IKEA with classmates and ate the sausage bread. Walk 1 round and then left with ZiJing. Accompanied her home while i waited downstairs for her. She's going out with her friends while I'm goin to RCC training. Went to play arcade with Januver and then queue up at Doughnut Factory. First time buying it and it was prtty nice but too sweeeet already. Reached home very late and school starts at 8 the next day.

12th Oct, Friday

Very very tired. *yawns* I think in school I only like my GEM which is Film Appreciation. Basically watched movie or short clip and then there will be some group discussion and that's it. How i wish other modules will be as carefree and relax as this one. After school went home. Wanted to play PS2 but the TV kinnda spoiled. And guess what, I dismantle the whole TV but in the end it couldnt work as well, eventually played in the masterbed room where the TV is still working fine. Afterwhich went to SGH to visit 1 of my relative. Very solemn and I was very quiet throughout, they talked to me I just smiled and that's it. Went back home and had a nice sleep.

13th Oct, Saturday

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!

Yesh, it's the new year for Muslims. They must be glad, family gathering, house visiting and of cause collection of green packets. Well, I gotta work and probably I will not elaborate too much about it as it will bore you. I had to wait for another manager to finish as I've to get the keys from her. After that went up to TP to find Karen and Victor for supper. Reached home at 2+am and i watched Rugby !! Kudos to England for making the finals yet again ...

14th Oct, Sunday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATIN & JOLYN !!

Worked in the morning and after work bought 'kueh', initially wanted to go home but my heart and mind tells me otherwise. They tell me to work to TP and i bought 'kueh' for them to eat. It was also one of the rider last day at work whereby he'll sign on and be a Traffic Police. All e best to him !!

I'll sign off here then. I know it has been a long long post.

*Huggies*

Cruise TRIP

2007-10-09T23:58:00.000+08:00

Hey people, i am back from cruise trip.. Actually it's been like 5days already that I'm back from the trip.. Just tired and lazy to blog about especially I have to work during weekends after coming back. Found the time to blog about it and then gonna 'chao' already..

On 3rd October, met up with Victor at 5pm to buy tidbits before proceeding to Royce house which will be our meeting point. Meeting at 6.30pm and the people who are going to the trip are mainly me, Victor, Jerold, Royce, Karen, Nicholas, Berlin, Alan, Vincent and Geling.

The 9 of us met and then procced to SGH to fetch Geling who is working there, and it's duper near Harbourfront Centre. We waited there for quite long before we were allowed to board the ship. The moment we set foot on the ship it's already like 9pm, which is pretty late already.. So all the hungry ghost requested to eat upon boarding and once we reached our cabin, throw our stuffs and proceed to the Chinese restaurant.

First up, Chinese restaurant the food so so however it was goobled up pretty fast as most of us are really hungry and then we requested for another plate of noodle. Haha, like eat so much huh ?!?! Immediately after that we procced for another round at the Mediterranean Buffet. 2meals in succession la.. *Woots*

After the meals we then toured around, it was pretty big and had many facilities and it was a huge huge eye opener for me as well.. For example, the casino can only be opened when it's at the international sea, it is closed during embarkment.

Basically i enjoyed myself thoroughly like entering the casino la.. Actually playing and losing $100 which is pretty okay as I win $125 from mahjong.. Heehe..Got to play bingo also which i so nearly win..Miss out on just 1 number... Also got to enjoy going jacuzzi and sun-tanning although I didn't turn any darker but there's something i dislike alot which is the amount of food that I took durin the trip.. Imagine u had like 9 meals durin the 2days in the ship.. And the amount that i passed out also a lot la.. Think gonna choke the sewage system already.. If I have a chance I'll definitely go with my love ones to watch the sunrise together and there's so many things that we can do together.. Looking forward to the next holiday but it will not be in the near future.. Pretty much stuffs to be handled and will not be having any school holidays until next year September.. As i'll be having my Industrial Training Program (ITP) during February... That's all folks, got to wait for the video to finish loading before i can publish it and it's taking eons..

Shall let the video show you how was the trip, tried to upload pictures as promised but they don't allow me to do so..

SO SIT BACK RELAX AND ENJOY !!

Take Care and GOD BLESS !! =)

Movie Review ....

2007-09-28T02:24:00.000+08:00

Hahahs.. i went for a movie marathon instead of watchin 2movies on 2 seperate days.. i went to J8 to watch BALLS OF FURY first followed by I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY...

both are comedies but personally i prefer the latter.. it was definitely more hilarious than the former...

BALLS OF FURY -- an ex olympic hopeful was selected by the FBI to help them to crack a case in an underground affair.. a ping pong contest was held every year to select the best... throughout the whole show i set eyes on nothin but Maggie Q.. she was the spotlight of the show i think ... cause the jokes were predictable and corny... and the show only lasted like 90mins... onli rate 2/5 stars for it..

I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY -- they are 2 good buddy who will help each other in times of adversity.. so when Larry needs social welfare but he couldnt receive it as his wife died 2yrs ago, he turns to Chuck to be his lawful partner. it revolves around anti-gay campaign and how the 2 of them inspire 1 of their comrade to liberate himself and declare that he's also a gay !!!! in the end they are the poster guys to campaign for pro-gay...in between there's a lawyer to help them fight their case and she's definitely hotter than Maggie Q.. tt's Jessica Biel for u.. there was this part when Chuck fondled her breast as to prove to Chuck that those were real... nosebled!!!this show is rated M18 for homosexuality scenes... i would rate the show 3.5/5..

both shows are worth watchin but definitely will recommend the gay show..
recent times there's a lot of comedy movie coming out, too many shows, too little time and money... how to finish every single movie...hahas.. got the time wanna catch SHOOT EM UP starring CLIVE OWEN and MONICA BELLUCI ... another M18 show.. tt's all for the movies review.. gotta catch some slp ..

gtg,
takkaire and god bless!!

Movie Galore !!

2007-09-26T14:04:00.000+08:00

hahas.. gonna catch a movie later.. this show i've been waitin since july already.. finally it's released in Singapore. hahas.. gonna watch Balls Of Fury later.. will be giving a review of the movie later..

tmr will be goin to watch another movie, I now Pronounce Chuck and Larry.. M18 with homosexuality scenes.. bet gonna be very very funny .. and also to celebrate Gwen's birthday...

Mid-Autumn Festival !

2007-09-25T20:36:00.000+08:00

today is mooncake festival (zhong qiu jie) n hahas.. no one accompanied me to shang yue !!! eat mooncake and drink tea.. lol =)

nevertheless, i bought mooncakes from HanLeng as she's doing her personal selling which she'll be graded for and the mooncake is lying at my table now, however i haven touch it as i am too full after eating ice cream mooncake which i bought from Swensens. It's realli cheap la.. 2flavours, 4pcs which onli cost $17+ after 20% discount. Today's the last day loooo.... Many many mooncakes at home la, dunno when will go out...

Guess i'm suffering from school reopening hangover, seriously very very tired after school although the lessons aren't that long...

Another personal thought, I feel that the author of the blog should have the freedom to write how he/she wants/feels as it serves as a personal diary to him/her.. If they don't have the freedom to write and thus hiding here and there, what's the point of having a blog den ? also, they might have no one to talk to or simply they just wanna thrash everything out thus letting people know how they feel .. I feel this is the purpose of having a blog. The author shouldn't be to discreet till he/she writes boring stuffs as they fear the threat of hurting someone of breakin the law. This is however just my personal thought. People might agree or disagree but I'm helping my friend out TOO !!

Any comments or feedback just tell me, am open to any of it..

Bye and takkaire my friends !! :)

well well well, it realli has been a long time since i last posted..n certainly some factors intruige mi to post..some more at tis wee hour..it's 2am n i'm startin to blog..i wonder it'll take mi how long to ever finish typing this post..
ok, let's rewind back to e beginning of this yr..i'm a person who loves to tink of the past, esp if it's happy memories..ok,should be feb tis yr ba...we startin chosin the members for National Champs Challenge(NCC), since our store dun realli hav alot of ppl interested,so it was easy chosing..so it was mi,victor,jerold n alif...ok,we trained for nearly 4months or so...n definitely our hard work paid off..we were the champions...total we won 4 individual awards,2cashier,1base n 1cook..it was definitely a moment to cherish n relish again if i've e opportunity to..so mi,jerold n alif was chosen to represent the team of s'pore...initially e team was ME,Jerold,Alif,Ayu,Christine,Vincent,Liza and Mayuri...but due to certain factors,mayuri chose to drop out of e team..n Januver was chosen..
It was a fine day n everythin started in e e room beside boardroom at RSC..had a intro of each other,got to noe each other,e agenda n blah blah...Our team mgr was Pearlyn Ong n our coach was Tracy Low..but another incident occured,Christine chose to drop out of e team as she wasnt able to handle her sch stuffs,so Victor was asked to replace her...so our team became 8ppl agn...training went on well,toured around S'pore's KFC...went to TP,Kallang,CCK..haa..at CCK was e last place Alif trained with us..due to some personal issues,he decided to withdraw..n our team is v much fated to be only 7ppl..so training went on n on..we had e 1st selection in Aug i presume?? which is to cut down from 7peepz to jus 5peepz...well,it was cruel for them as it was e same place where e results of e NCC was released..kind of DE JAVU.. so Vincent n Liza had to leave e team but as long as we noe,we'll still be always as a team...

2007-09-19T17:18:00.000+08:00

Hey, haha... At least now there's someone taking the same GEM as me. Which is Film Appreciation. Hahas.. Hopefully it's gonna be a easy module, everytime watch movie that's the best la.. LOLS.. :) It's also on Friday and that's a nice time slot although the venue is a little FARRRR!! But it's ok, can walk together ma..

Do the following test though, it's kindda true for me, however the 3rd question is very doubtful la... Want to know my results, contact me personally ..

Memoriter Test

That's alll, had a heavy head after my noon nap... gotta rest...
Buei !!

GEM selection

2007-09-19T11:27:00.000+08:00

Woke up early in the morning, was having my GEM selection today .. GEM = General Elective Module. Got to take 1 every semester .. All i wanted was to have someone to accompany, what module also it's alright.. Initially i wanted to chose DIY computer, but the slot that my friends took were fully booked le .. So i asked another friend, so he took Appreciation for Cross Cultural Differences, i was so happy when there's a slot left, but i chose to dilly dally, see other modules that i wanted whether is there any available slots.. So when i came back to chose e Cross Cultural thingy, it's fully booked le.. i'm like sooooo sian already lo... Like what i want also cant get in.. So i tried to see any other module i can take and i prefer Friday cause there's 3hrs break in between and don't disturb my Mon n Wed which i end sch at 1 and i can go for my driving thereafter. So in the end i chose BETTER PRONUNCIATION FOR BETTER SPEECH. Like bobian ( no choice ) that kind you know.. Feeling very ANGRY with this kind of system..

It's like every course have different appointment time to chose the module. And they got to chose earlier, so when it reaches our turn, the modules that we want are either fully occupied or the slots that we want are not available. SO it's very frustrating when we've already planned what to take, but it didnt goes according to plan. Then in the end, we got to chose those module that we are not interested in. Hopefully i can get to change the module during my second appointment when someone else decides to drop that module.

ANGRYS !!!

Britney Spears VMA performance !!

2007-09-17T03:22:00.000+08:00

I'm sure all of u have heard about Britney Spears comeback durin e recent MTV Video Music Awards.. Below is the original performance by her...

It seems pretty fine though just that she looked out of shape and isnt the once pretty Britney.

This is another video in response to her performing in the VMAs:

It is super hilarious la when i watch it .. Like OMG !!!
It is supposed to be a comeback for her but it turned out this way and she cried when she watch her own performance n labelled herself as a FAT PIG !!! It is going downhill for her... Will she be able to turn the tide ?? Like to hear your comments tho...

Au Revoir !! =)

McLaren kanna fine !!

2007-09-15T23:52:00.000+08:00

following abstract from F1:

"McLaren have been excluded from the 2007 constructors’ championship and fined US$100 million following Thursday’s FIA World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) hearing in Paris. Drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have not been penalized and are free to continue their fight for the drivers' title.The penalty follows McLaren’s admission that the team was in breach of the International Sporting Code through their possession of confidential technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari, who are now all but assured of the 2007 constructors’ title.McLaren are also required to submit detailed plans of their 2008 car to the FIA, who warned that it could apply further sanctions relating to next season should any irregularities be found in the car’s design.At July’s original hearing, the Council opted not to punish McLaren as it decided there was no proof that the Ferrari data had been used. Thursday’s second hearing followed the emergence of new evidence and the FIA’s request for McLaren’s drivers to submit any information they had that might be relevant to the case.The FIA will explain the reasons behind the Council's decision on Friday, after which McLaren will decide whether or not to appeal."

Personal opinion:
I think that they deserved to be fined but tt's such a huge amount.. $100M lei .. wonder what can i do with so much $$$.. in possession of confidential technical data belonging to rival Ferrari.. i know it's a long running rivalry, but u don't do this kind of things to edge out your opponent, despicable la!! well, they are out of the constructors championship but their drivers r still in e running for the championship!!??!! how can tt possibly be? they should be dock off their points as well n fight for nothing this season !!!!!
Lastly i also think that McLaren should be banned which were stated in the initial reports tt they might be banned for 2years,but i don't think it will happen, they will make more losses n i just hope Ferrari will edge out above them !!

Tataz...
