Gossip: Pemain Bolasepak Malaysia Bakal Berlakon Filem?

Nampaknya , status pemain bolasepak negara sudah bertukar. Kalau dulu mereka hanyalah pemain bolasepak, namun kini pemain bolasepak negara sudah hampir setaraf dengan pemain bola luar negara kerana sudah boleh digelar selebriti.

Antara pemain Malaysia yang sudah terkenal termasuklah Safee Sali dan juga Khairul Fahmi atau mesra dipanggil Apek yang selalu dihimpit dengan gosip-gosip panas bersama wanita lain.

Khabar angin yang baru saja OHBULAN! terima semalam mengatakan bahawa sebuah produksi filem baru telah mengikat kontrak bersama pemain bola Malaysia. Pemain-pemain bolasepak ini dipercayai akan turut berganding bersama beberapa orang pelakon popular untuk menjayakan sebuah filem yang OHBULAN! sendiri belum pasti apa tajuknya.

Jika khabar angin ini benar, OHBULAN memang sudah tidak sabar hendak melihat bakat pemain bolasepak negara dalam bidang lakonan pula. Tidak salah bukan jika kami katakan yang kemungkinan Aidil Zafuan atau Zaquan Adha akan berlakon? Kerana kedua-dua kembar yang kacak ini masing-masing beristerikan selebriti.

Kita nantikan sahaja berita terbaru selepas ini, anda rasa siapakah mereka?

Ahli Kumpulan Hujan, Hang Dimas Rancang Mohon Kerakyatan Malaysia

Kepada yang tak tahu, sebelum ini kecoh mengenai Aaron Aziz yang sedang memohon kerakyatan Malaysia sejak tahun lepas (2011) lagi. Namun masih tiada khabar berita gembira dari selebriti yang popular dengan filem Ombak Rindu itu walaupun kini sudah bernaung di bawah sebuah syarikat televisyen swasta.

Kini giliran Hang Dimas, pengurus dan keyboardist kumpulan Hujan pula menyuarakan hasratnya untuk memohon kerakyatan Malaysia. Mungkin sudah nampak masa depannya disini, sebab itulah Hang Dimas memilih Malaysia sebagai destinasinya.

Menurut mStar Online, Dimas sudah membawa isteri dan anaknya yang berusia 4 tahun ke Malaysia dan sudah hampir sebulan menetap di Bandar Sri Permaisuri, Cheras. Dalam kenyataannya kepada wartawan mStar, Dimas menjelaskan bahawa dia akan memohon kerakyatan Malaysia selepas menangguhkan hasratnya beberapa kali.

“Saya akan membuat permohonan untuk menjadi penduduk tetap di negara ini selepas menyelesaikan beberapa perkara,” ujarnya kepada mStar Online.

Tambah Dimas lagi, “Sebelum ini lagi isteri saya ingin mengikut tinggal di sini tetapi terpaksa ditangguhkan kerana dia sibuk menguruskan perniagaan milik keluarga di sana. Bagaimanapun Alhamdulillah lah akhirnya mereka dapat bersama saya di sini.”

Kalau begitu, semoga dengan adanya artis seperti Hang Dimas, maka lebih bersinarlah industri hiburan tanahair dengan muzik dan seni yang lebih berkualiti. OHBULAN! juga masih tertanya-tanya apakah status terbaru Aaron Aziz yang sudah lama memohon kerakyatan Malaysia?

Kalau di Malaysia, isteri Harith Iskandar pernah menimbulkan kontroversi kerana bergambar dengan perut terdedah ketika sedang mengandung. Hanya bahagian perut sahaja! Tapi kalau di Hollywood, ia bukanlah satu kejutan bagi mereka.

Namun, yang terbaru dari negara hiburan penuh kontroversi itu, Jessica Simpson, 31, telah bergambar bogel untuk muka depan majalah Elle. Jessica yang sedang sarat mengandung juga telah mengumumkan pada peminat bahawa dia kini sedang mengandungkan bayi perempuan namun masih belum memikirkan nama yang sesuai untuk anak pertamanya itu.

Untuk isu terbaru Majalah Elle, Jessica tidak memakai apa-apa pun dan cuma menutup bahagian sensitif dengan tangan sambil mengekalkan auranya sebagai selebriti terkenal. Dia yang sedang hangat bercinta dengan atlet bola keranjang, Eric Johnson, memberitahu pada media,

We’re gonna have this athletic girl and I won’t even be able to take her shopping, ’cause all she’s gonna want is sports bras and Nikes!

Itulah yang sedang bermain di fikiran Jessica sekarang kerana dia adalah selebriti manakala teman lelakinya pula ialah atlet. Apa pula yang sedang bermain di kepala artis wanita tanahair yang berkahwin dengan pemain bolasepak kita ya?

Morgan Plus E – old school goes electric in Geneva

Morgan Motor Company has debuted an electric sportscar concept – with a five-speed manual gearbox – in Geneva. The Plus E, as it’s called, has been designed together with British tech specialists Zytek and Radshape, and it’ll be used to gauge market reaction to see if there’s sufficient demand to put the electric roadster into production.

The EV is based on a tailored version of Morgan’s lightweight aluminium platform chassis and clothed in the revised ‘traditional’ body from the new BMW V8-powered Plus 8, which is also a Geneva debutant.

Power comes courtesy of a new derivative of Zytek’s 94 hp and 300Nm electric engine, already proven with US vehicle manufacturers. Mounted in the transmission tunnel, the Zytek unit drives the rear wheels through a conventional five-speed manual gearbox.

Here, the clutch is retained, but because the motor provides torque from zero speed, the driver can choose to leave it engaged when coming to rest and pulling away, driving the car like a conventional automatic.

The boffins at Zytek say that a multi-speed transmission allows the motor to spend more time operating in its sweet spot, where it uses energy more efficiently, particularly at high road speeds. It also allows the use of lower gearing for rapid acceleration, making the car more engaging for keen drivers.

The programme will deliver two engineering concept vehicles. The first, with the five-speed manual box and Li-ion batteries, will be used for preliminary engineering assessment, while the second will be closer to potential production specification, utilising alternative battery technologies and possibly a sequential gearbox.

The Friendliest Day of the Year

March 17th

I hear it’s being touted as the Friendliest Day of the Year.

people

It’s one of the few holidays that break out from the country of origin (Ireland, in this case) to metamorphosis from obscurity to become something more…something global, something truly epic!

eat play love

It’s St. Patrick’s Day!

st pat 2010

I go every single year. Guinness has held the biggest St Paddy’s Day parties for two years running in Malaysia. I was at the 2010 celebrations in 1Utama.

st pat 2011

I also went to the 2011 street party at Changkat Bukit Bintang where they have all the awesome street performers and even awesomer (spell check just warned me about this word with the red squiggly line) launch with the jugglers and huge motorcycle parade.

I couldn’t get a good shot at the actual event with everyone jostling around but here’s what it looks like – that’s from the preview event and is almost exactly the same. :D

dancing

It is always a day full of fun, friendship and laughter.

Fun Fact:
A popular Irish toast on St Patrick’s Day is “May the roof above never fall in, and may we as friends beneath it never fall out”.

performers

This year sees a return of the celebrations to Changkat Bukit Bintang! There will be a month full of celebrations starting right about now. Remember when I said March 17th is going to be known as the Friendliest Day of the Year?

Well, there’s this obscure, little book that you might have heard of. It’s called the Guinness Book of World Records. ;)

friendliest day of the year

This is the real thing, the authoritative tome that people refer to when a feat or record is in doubt. It’s no local wannabe, if you’re in it, you know you’ve done something worth writing down for posterity in the entire known world.

parade

Guinness is attempting to set a new Guinness World Record for the Friendliest Day of the Year by getting 1 million people to pledge online at www.facebook.com/guinnessmalaysia and www.stpatricks.com.my to get into the book. Just click on COUNT ME IN to make it happen! :)

st pat 2012

I’m telling you, it’ll be the best fun you ever had. The crowd is always nice and there’s fun and laughter. Get ready for the pure awesomeness that is the main St Patrick’s Day street party:

Date: Saturday (17th March)
Venue: Changkat Bukit Bintang
Time: 6 pm onwards

street performers

There’s even going to be a busker dressed like a court jester. What more can you ask for? :D

Kia cee’d – second-generation debuts in Geneva

Kia’s second-generation cee’d has made its debut in Geneva, and the car arrives in five-door hatchback and SW body styles. Designed, engineered and manufactured in Europe, exclusively for the European market, the car has been tagged as a more sophisticated, more efficient and a more refined offering than its predecessor.

It’s both longer (by 50 mm, to 4.31 metres) and lower (by 10 mm) than its predecessor, and despite being based on a completely new platform, the new cee’d continues on with a 2,650 mm wheelbase, one of the longest in the C-segment.

The track has also been widened on the new car, by 17 mm at the front and 32 mm at the rear, and the availability of 17- and 18-inch diameter alloy wheels means that the new car offers a minimal gap between tyres and bodywork.

Engine-wise, the new cee’d will be available with a wide variety of engines, offering power outputs from 90 to 135 ps. For Europe, the primary offerings are two Gamma petrol engines (a 1.4 MPI and a 1.6 GDI, with 100 PS and 135 PS respectively) and two diesels, these being a 90 hp 1.4 WGT and a 1.6 VGT diesel offered in two states of tune (110 and 128 PS). Certain European markets will also get a 130 PS 1.6 MPI petrol unit.

All engines will be offered with a choice of manual or automatic six-speed transmissions. Depending on version, the 1.6 GDI will also be available with Kia’s all-new six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which is developed by Kia’s in-house transmission development team in partnership with a German-based engineering firm.

The car will be available with a number of fuel-saving technologies, organised under the company’s EcoDynamics sub-brand, to optimise efficiency and lower emissions. These technologies, available on both diesel and petrol models with manual transmission, include ISG (Start/Stop), low-rolling resistance tyres and an alternator management system (AMS).

The standard steering system employs electric power-assistance, but on certain models an all-new Flex Steer system is available, offering improved driving dynamics – this one introduces three operating modes – comfort, normal and sport – allowing the driver to vary the level of steering assistance and the weight of feedback, in order to best suit the current driving conditions and the driver’s personal preferences.

Inside the cabin, higher quality materials are featured, as is a broader range of high-tech equipment – new standard equipment includes tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel adjustment, iPod/Aux and USB support, a six-speaker audio system and a multi-mode trip computer.

Kit includes a full length (1,045 mm long) powered panoramic glass sunroof, LED daytime running lights, fixed cornering lamps (illuminated depending on steering angle) and a new Parallel Park Assist System (PPAS), which features front, side and rear sensors and automatic steering control by an on-board computer to safely perform parallel parking, with the driver remaining in control of the accelerator and brake.

The cee’d is set to be manufactured exclusively at Kia’s Zilina facility in Slovakia, and is set to go on sale across Europe from the second quarter of 2012. As for the wagon version, details on that one will only emerge closer to its European on-sale date later in the year.
