Historical Badminton Hall - SBA

The Selangor Badminton Association (SBA) Hall in Kampung Attap is one of the most historical badminton hall in our country. This venue has produced many top badminton players. The SBA Hall was built in 1929 and has been used by the public and as a training ground to develop young talent.

It was once the national training centre for badminton and the place where many badminton players first honed their talents before taking on the world.

Outlook of SBA Badminton Hall

Among the former players who used to train at the SBA Hall were the Sidek brothers – Jalani, Razif, Rashid and Misbun – James Selvaraj, Moo Foot Lian and Foo Kok Keong while the current crop of Chan Chong Ming, Ong Soon Hock and Tan Bin Shen also used to practice there.

I used to play badminton in this hall every Thursday right after my working hour. Too bad, last week was my final week to play in this hall because this hall closed on 25 November 2006 (Saturday) for major renovation. The renovation work will takes about 9 months.

The court I used to play

No age limit... we can see young to old players around here

Overall look in the hall

This hall/building really old, but I like the environment inside there, so classic and peaceful. Imagine this hall is almost 80 years old, and it still can operate until now, they really did a great job to maintain it.

Meeting hall

Old type windows

Main power switch box, quite bad condition, always get tripped off :P

My 'lepak' corner after game

We used to 'lepak' in the cafe after game for chit chat, imagine with all uncles, what else to chat? Work, politics, family, current issues and gossips :P

Sometimes got few ex-national badminton players came to join us for chit chat too, I always met Moo Foot Lian 'lepak' here.

My weapons...

I really miss this place so much, now we have to find other hall on the same day for our usual weekly meeting.

Goodbye SBA... See you after 9 months...

My 'Balik Kampung' Trip

I just back to the land of hell (Kuala Lumpur) hours ago, sorry to everyone for my lack of update and reply these few days. This 'Balik Kampung' trip really a mixed feeling trip for me... got happy and sad stories.

When I reach Butterworth on Friday night, my parents came to fetch me at bus station. I'm so pleased to see my dad is recover very well from his accident on last month. When I reach home, I saw my dad's bike damaged very badly and still haven't fixed it. I decided not to take the photo because I felt very heart broken to see it.

When I entered my old room which is now become a store room, I looked at my favorite posters on the wall, it really brought me back my old days memories... My mom still don't want to tear down the old posters.

TOTO

Toto is an American rock/pop/prog band which had their greatest commercial success in the 1980s. They are known for covering several music styles, such as pop, rock, funk, prog, jazz, and others.

TOTO

About TOTO

Toto was formed in Los Angeles in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Steve and Jeff Porcaro, and David Hungate, the son of former United States Congressman and United States District Court Judge William L. Hungate. The bandmembers had met in high school and at studio sessions in the 1970s, when they became some of the busiest session musicians in the music business.

At first, the band had no name, so Jeff Porcaro, having watched The Wizard of Oz recently, wrote the word 'Toto' on demo tapes, to make them identifiable. When Toto was in search of a name, the members came up with very different ideas. They wanted something simple, which would be pronounced the same all over the world. Eventually, after the band explored the origins of the word "Toto", this name was chosen. The origin of the name comes from Latin, meaning "all encompassing". As Toto played a mixture of different styles, they agreed this would be the best name.

TOTO

Toto released their self-titled debut album in October 1978, selling two million copies on the strength of airplay for their top ten hit "Hold the Line". The next two albums Hydra and Turn Back had little success, but Toto IV (released in 1982) featured the number one hit "Africa," as well as the top ten single "Rosanna". Toto IV went multi-platinum and earned several Grammy Awards including 1983 Album of the Year and Record of the Year (for "Rosanna").

Despite the success of Toto IV, the band still continued their work as session musicians. The best example is their collaboration on Michael Jackson's hit album Thriller.

Their only film work to date was for the 1984 David Lynch science fiction film Dune. In addition to their own score, they also recorded the "Prophecy Theme", composed by Brian Eno.

Mega Project - SMART Tunnel

How many of you heard about this SMART Project before? I think those who living or always traveling in Kuala Lumpur will know a little bit of it. SMART is stand for 'Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel'.

I visited this project last year with different occasions. This project implemented by Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia and estimate will complete by middle of year 2007.

The function of SMART Tunnel is to divert flood discharges from just below the Sg Klang/Sg Ampang confluence into the Holding Basin (Kg Berembang). A multiple-bay bell mouth Intake Structure diverts the flood discharge from the holding basin into bypass tunnel. The stormwater bypass tunnel of about 9.7 km in length conveys the flood flows to the Storage Pond (Taman Desa).

SMART Tunnel Concepts

A double decked motorway within the bypass for a length of approximately 3 km starts near Kg Pandan roundabout and ends near the Jalan Istana Interchange at Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Highway.

Actual TBM on site


Ready to bore


After bored... It looks small from top


When I went down, I was... WOW!!!


Construction of multiple-bay


View inside the tunnel


At the back of TBM

I was walking almost 2 km inside the tunnel then only met the TBM. The feeling really different if we walk at the open space, I felt quite difficult to breath because of confine space inside the tunnel, the air flow is very limited.

Anyway, during the construction of tunnel, females are not allow to enter the tunnel, I don't know why, it not only apply at here but whole world too! They explained to me it's like some kind of jinx will happen if female go into the tunnel during the construction going on.

Posing on TBM...

Am I look like Malaysia version of Phuah Chu Kang (PCK)? With yellow safety boots and safety helmet. LOL...

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird



Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama



Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday's Gone

About Lynyrd Skynyrd (source from wikipedia)

Lynyrd Skynyrd (pronounced /leh-nerd skin-nerd/) is a U.S. Southern rock band, described by All Music Guide's Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "the definitive Southern rock band, fusing the overdriven power of blues-rock with a rebellious, Southern image and a hard rock swagger." The band reached prominence during the 1970s under the leadership of vocalist and primary songwriter Ronnie Van Zant until he died, along with several other members of the band, in a plane crash in 1977.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd was one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed Southern Rock groups of the 1970's and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006. Their distinctive triple-lead guitar sound made their songs "Free Bird", and "Sweet Home Alabama" American anthems and staples of FM radio. Members inducted include: Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson, Bob Burns, Billy Powell, Ed King, Artimus Pyle and Steve Gaines.


History

The band, first called My Backyard, was formed in Gainesville, Florida in the summer of 1964 by teenage friends Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Allen Collins (guitar), Gary Rossington (guitar), Larry Junstrom (bass), and Bob Burns (drums). Their early influences included British Invasion bands such as Free, The Yardbirds, and The Beatles, as well as Southern blues and country & western music.

During the 1960s, the band changed names several times (most notably The Noble Five and One Percent) while playing local dances and clubs in Jacksonville. In 1968 they won a local Battle of the Bands contest, using the prize money to record the songs "Need All My Friends" and "Michelle", the former released as their debut single on Jacksonville-based Shade Tree Records. They also won the opening slot on several Southeast shows for California-based psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock.

The Journey...

- Peak years, 1970-1977


- Plane crash, 1977

Lynyrd Skynyrd's legend is grounded in a plane crash that occurred on October 20, 1977, three days after the release of Street Survivors. A chartered Convair 240 carrying the band between shows from Greenville, South Carolina to LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana crashed near a forest in McComb, Mississippi. A damaged magneto in the right engine resulted in the plane literally running out of fuel. The resulting crash killed singer/songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist/vocalist Steve Gaines, vocalist Cassie Gaines, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray. Other band members were injured, some very seriously. Drummer Artimus Pyle crawled out of the plane wreckage with several broken ribs, yet ran nearly a mile to a farmhouse to try to get help. The farmer Johnny Mote, on first seeing the wild-haired blood- and mud-encrusted drummer babbling incoherently, greeted him with a (non-fatal) shotgun blast to his shoulder. Only when Mote realized that this person was connected with the plane crash he had just heard did he call for help. Allen Collins suffered two cracked vertebrae in his neck, and both Collins and Leon Wilkeson nearly had arms amputated as a result of crash injuries. Wilkeson suffered severe internal injuries, a punctured lung, and had most of his teeth knocked out. Gary Rossington broke both of his arms and both of his legs in the crash, and took many months to recuperate. Leslie Hawkins sustained a concussion, broke her neck in three places and had severe facial lacerations.

Only pianist Billy Powell was relatively unhurt, but he nearly had his nose torn off and suffered severe facial lacerations. He later caused a controversy by giving a lurid account of Cassie Gaines' final moments on a VH1 Behind The Music special about the band, claiming that the backing singer's throat was cut from ear to ear and that she bled to death in his arms. Powell also claimed that Ronnie Van Zant's head had been smashed. Powell's version of events has been discounted by both Artimus Pyle and Judy Van Zant Jenness, who posted the autopsy reports on the band's website in early 1998 in order to set the record straight.

After Plane Crash - Lynyrd Skynyrd

- Hiatus, 1977-1986

Rossington and Collins formed The Rossington-Collins Band between 1980 and 1982, releasing two albums. Pyle formed The Artimus Pyle Band in 1982. Collins formed The Allen Collins Band in 1983. Tragedy struck the band again in 1986 when Collins crashed his car while driving drunk near his home in Jacksonville, killing his girlfriend and leaving him permanently paralyzed from the waist down.


- Reunion years, 1987-present

On November 28, 2005, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced that Lynyrd Skynyrd would be inducted alongside Black Sabbath, Blondie, Miles Davis, and the Sex Pistols. They were inducted in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan on March 13, 2006. Lynyrd Skynyrd had been nominated 7 times.

General Motors vs Microsoft

*Received this article in my email, just want to share with you all this interesting article.*

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single
   "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Please share this with your friends who love - but sometimes hate – their computers!

Happy Mid-week!!!

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Black Sabbath are an English heavy metal band from Birmingham, England. The original band line up of Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Terence "Geezer" Butler (bass), and Bill Ward (drums) is the same as the current line up (2006) although there have been shifts of personnel in between.

From Left: Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward

Black Sabbath remains a dominant influence in the genre they helped create. VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock ranks them second, behind Led Zeppelin.

History (source from wikipedia)

Black Sabbath formed in Birmingham, England in 1968 under the name Polka Tulk Blues Band (soon shortened to "Polka Tulk"), and later Earth, playing blues rock and hard rock.

Black Sabbath has a unique sound that emerged from diverse influences. Iommi was greatly influenced both by Hank Marvin's playing on Cliff Richard and the Shadows' heavy-guitar based recordings and by jazz guitar, particularly that of Django Reinhardt. Tony Iommi left Earth/Black Sabbath for a short time to tour with Jethro Tull and is seen playing with Jethro Tull on the rolling stones rock N roll circus. Ward has also expressed a fondness for jazz music, especially drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. Geezer Butler cites bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce of British blues band Cream as a major influence on him: “He was the first player I ever saw who bent the strings and played the bass as a totally independent instrument”. Early incarnations of Black Sabbath merged elements of blues, jazz, and rock and paid their dues playing cover versions of songs by heavy rock acts including Jimi Hendrix, Blue Cheer, and the previously mentioned Cream. Osbourne says he was deeply influenced by The Beatles and his favourite album of all time is Revolver.

Trivia

After repeatedly being passed over by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since becoming eligible in 1997, Ozzy Osbourne famously demanded that Black Sabbath be removed from consideration for the institution. In 1999, Osbourne said after Black Sabbath was passed over their second year of eligibility, "Just take our name off the list. Save the ink." His basis for this position was that because the fans did not select the members, it was "totally irrelevant". The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ignored this request and Black Sabbath was finally inducted by Metallica members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich on March 13, 2006.

Black Sabbath... The God Father of Heavy Metal Rock!!!
