    One day after breaking a new racket MP tour, it is my car's window turn. Repairing the window cost as much as the racket. I was OK just stunned by the loud sound. I was following a vehicle at that time. So the culprit could be the stone.

    Well, if kwun started it last week, then somebody has to finish it..

    :p..Levi! Levi! Levi! and that's what everyone was chanting & cheering during the whole award presentation..:cool:

    Went to today's last stage of the Amgen Tour of California cycling race, which was held not too far from my old neck of the woods, at the Rose Bowl (Pasadena). And what a finish it was!:cool:...After a momentary break of rain in the afternoon, nothing was going to stop the exciting finish of the TOC in the rain. Thousands of people, at least, braved the soaking rain & lined up the Arroyo Seco street with balloon bangers/clappers and whistles. And in return, the riders gave their all to the loyal fans by pedaling with all their energy & might, until everyone crossed the finish line.
    I would imagine if there was no rain, more people would probably show up. But after all the rain, as well as the pomp and circumstances, everyone was granted another beautiful rainbow.:):cool:

    Anyway, here are some pics of today's last stage event; of the venue, a booth and of course the riders. Sorry guys, i don't have the same camera equipments as kwun's, so pics will be less in quality. Enjoy!;)
