2o days since last i posted here.along that period,many things happen.we have Le Tour de Langkawi,which i didn't get to watch much.1 of my friend sat for the oral...and passed.congratz to shahir...and the most important thing is,the so called PM dismissed the parliament on the 13th February 2008,just 1 day after he strongly denied any rumours on that.you call that lying or just another political gimmics?(i just hate the way he answer the reporter question!)

well,enough said my friends...time for us to vote and choose our leader.but 1st,did you guys register already?hahaha...dun talk bout voting if u not even registered!for me,i thought that i didn't make it as i only registered my name on last december @ post office.the lady told me i'm not going to make it if the election is on march,cause it takes 3 month for them to put your name in voter's registry...so efficient laaa SPR.i did check my name last few weeks but not in the list.but just few days ago,i checked again,there i get my name on the screen.i guess im going back to SP to vote...

which side will i vote?u can ask SPR later laaa...

St. Elmo's Fire

hola...

i just watched air crash investigation- flt 9 British Airways 747-200...and then came across a new term for-St. Elmo's Fire ...u wonder what its mean?

from Wikipidea (as i too lazy to check with other sources) ;
electrical weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a coronal discharge originating from a grounded object in an atmospheric electric field (such as those generated by thunderstorms or thunderstorms created by a volcanic explosion)

this phenomenon not only occurs on air,but initially discovered on the ship at sea.the name is taken from St. Erasmus of Formiae (also called St. Elmo), the patron saint of the sailors.
Physically, St. Elmo's Fire is a bright blue or violet glow, appearing like fire in some circumstances, from tall, sharply pointed structures such as lightning rods, masts, spires and chimneys, and on aircraft wings. St. Elmo's Fire can also appear on leaves, grass, and even at the tips of cattle horns[2]. Often accompanying the glow is a distinct hissing or buzzing sound.

so,what happen to the flight 9 BA is,the aircraft flown into the cloud of dust from a volcanic explosion which couldn't be detected by the weather radar,resulting in the failure of all the 4 engine.the aircraft diverted to Halim Airport in Jakarta to make an emergency landing.the engines were able to restart as the engine temperature dropped,but they still have to make emergency landing with zero visibility (the windscreen were damaged by the volcanic ashes) and unserviceable glide slope system.but,the tech crew did a good job to land the aircraft safely.
