Padang at One Utama
Two nights ago I was at One-Utama not to have dinner
or go out on a pre-valentine day shopping spree
or watching a movie in the cinema
or even bowling.
I was there to play football.
Not just any football but Futsal.
You see...In Kuala Lumpur, everything is just so congested nowadays that, there are no more green fields that is left for people to kick a ball around not to say jog around simply because, most of these green fields even if they're available would have been too valuable to be just left undeveloped.
Thus, flat land the size of 3 football fields would be replaced with something like this
thus, playing futsal at the top of a shopping mall is nothing new in KL or at least nothing new to people who live in KL.
So its not surprising why Malaysia has not been able to go to World Cup yet because most of the time, we are playing on top of shopping malls and only those who can afford can play football.
annnndddd lets face it k, those who can afford to play football aren't most of the time committed to play football as their life-long career. I mean look at how David Beckham started anyway or any other player who made it big in football.
Well, i guess times have changed, and to move with the times, we played futsal which is an indoor thing and sheltered from the sun and rain so that guys don't have to worry about getting a tan.
So we all played futsal at PADANG which is at the top of the shopping mall. Just take a lift to UR (which means upper roof i think) and you will see it straight away upon coming out.
Its located on the new block of one-utama. It looks like this...Really nice..
and before any of us could really say we played football, one hour was up.
And that's RM120.
RM 120!!
ohh that's ok, you divide among 10 people that's still cheap...What is 12 bucks anyway?What you can't afford 12 bucks? Damn CHEAP WEI!!
No. None of us were really satisfied. We needed an extra in order to really pull out everyone's real potential and skill in football and to test everyone's stamina.
We opted for a larger field which was available at that point of time (we played a smaller field in the previous hour) and played for an extra hour.
And that one hour was RM200.
RM 200!!!
Nobody really knew how much everything cost till the end of the game. Totalling everything up, everybody's face was quite shock to find that..
WE JUST PAYED RM320 TO KICK A BALL AROUND!!
In other parts of the world, you can feed an entire village for a month and they will keep smiling all month loong
and still have enough to even pay dancers to entertain you all weekend!!
With that kind of money generated within two hours just to kick a ball around, some say that it could wipe out AIDS entirely throughout the whole world!
Anyhow, that's just the high cost of living in Kuala Lumpur. Like I said, its nothing wrong or new to people living in KL as going to the mall is almost like a favourite past time that comes with good exercise to keep people healthy. But coming from Penang, I play real football in a different Padang called PADANG POLO, and its free.
FREE!!!FREE!!FREE!!!
I agree if football is entirely different from playing in a mall,
as compared to playing outside........
Problem is, there isn't......

This is a Veniran tractor
The town of Calabozo lies south of Caracas, on the hot, flat plains of Venezuela. Mud spattered pick-up trucks rattle along the streets. It is cattle country, a region dominated by farming.
Veniran tractorAgriculture is just one sector where the two countries have partnerships
Inside the entrance to the Ministry of Agriculture compound, a brand new tractor is displayed.
It was created with Iranian know-how in a Venezuelan factory - a potent symbol of co-operation between a Persian nation and South American.
Alberto farms rice and livestock. "My very first tractor was a Veniran model," he says.
"I bought it at a discount with a cheap government loan. Things have really changed around here because of the agreements with the Iranians."
"Before I was just a hired hand, I couldn't even aspire to being a farmer. Now I have all the machinery I need, thanks to the government of President Chavez."
Fraternity
Agreements between Venezuela and Iran cover a wide range of industries
In the past five years Iran and Venezuela have signed dozens of agreements in all kinds of sectors - banking, construction, food processing, engineering, transport, and, of course, oil.
Joint investments total around $20 billion (£12bn).
Training
Calabozo is reaping some of the benefits of that fraternal hug.
On the edge of town, a huge housing complex rises from the rust-coloured earth.
An Iranian company is providing the expertise and engineering skill.
Andre Bandari, an Iranian, is the site manager at the new Veniran maize-processing plant. He says this is one of 10 planned across Venezuela.
The Iranians who have built the factory stay for anything from six months to a year.
For the first time our young people are being trained properly
Maria Cristina Rodriguez, one of the workers from President Chavez's United Socialist Party, is proud of Calabozo's association with Iran.
"For the first time our young people are being trained properly," she says.
"The Iranians are teaching them how do things. They are bringing their knowledge here, and building up the industrial base of the region."
Even her elderly father has a Veniran tractor.
The relationship's just got stronger, and we don't know where it's taking us

Car of the future, the very mention of these words is enough to conjure up images of all those cars driven by comic book superheroes for most. While the looks may be important, it is what is inside the hood that ultimately counts, what with the rising fuel costs not predicted to end in the near future. Thankfully, though technology has come to the rescue and today there are many cars available which use alternative sources of energy. Hybrid cars, which use both electricity, as well as gasoline, are a good example. Similarly cars which use HHO or Brown's gas as the supplementary source of energy, apart from gasoline, are the other good example. To put it in a nutshell, with these technologies, you can buy a car of the future today.
While electricity powered vehicles have batteries that can be plugged in, charged and then driven away, the technology working inside cars using HHO is also very simple. Water is converted into HHO by using a conversion kit that is installed in the car. The Brown's gas that is produced is forced into the combustion chambers of the car. What this does is to increase the energy output of the car. The car is now able to travel to a longer distance, while utilizing the same amount of fuel as before. This in turn means substantial savings for you're when it comes to gasoline costs.
Car of the future, whether it runs on electricity, HHO or gasoline, needs to be environment friendly too. This is where cars running on Brown's gas have a major advantage. The gas helps in reducing emission too, apart from improving fuel efficiency, making them just as effective as other hybrid cars using electricity along with gasoline.
With rapid technological developments taking place, we can expect the car of the future to be both more environment, as well as user friendly.

The 2009 Nissan Cube Micro Van
The new and hip 2009 Nissan Cube didn't always used to be so popular. The cube is actually a third generation car. More than 10 years later since the original conception, the newest Cube is out in the world and a hit everywhere.
This Micro Van stands differently than its predecessors with a longer wheelbase at 99.6 inches and overall length at 156.7 inches. It's been stated that the wider stance adds to the vehicles handling prowess. On the exterior a three bar chrome grille and select fascias help to distinguish a different look from the Cube lineup. The Cube is available in four different trim levels, including the 1.8, the 1.8 S, the 1.8 SL, and the Krom Edition.
The asymmetrical balance and box styling of the Cube makes this car unique and stand out from the crowd. Of course there will be comparisons to the Scion xB due to their inevitable squared off likeness. But Nissan trumps the comparison in personalized programs that offer over forty accessories to customize the car to the buyers liking. Some accessories include interior mood lighting with twenty options of color, shag carpet interior inserts, body kits and an option for larger wheels.
Other cool design aspects are rounded windows to offset the square body, 'water droplet' shaped interior accents, a refrigerator-like back door, and a large interior with a lounge facade. The Krom trim gets exclusive woven cloth seats, Bluetooth hands free capability, iPod interface and Rockford Fosgate surround sound system with an integrated subwoofer.
Under the hood, the Cube is powered by a 122 horsepower 1.8 Liter four cylinder engine. Buyers also have the choice of a six speed manual or automatic transmission. The fuel economy is expected to be 30 miles per gallon on the highway and 28 miles per gallon in the city with the CVT transmission.
The Cube is unique and gives buyers lots of options to customize their vehicle, but is it safe? Yes, the Cube comes with a number of standard safety features. They include ABS, electronic brake distribution and assist, vehicle dynamic control, traction control, a tire pressure monitoring system, six airbags with front and side curtain airbags, and front seat active head restraints. Estimated price for the Cube ranges from $13,000 and $16,000.
