Chasing perfection
Friday, November 12, 2004

been to uni today to collect my portfolio from CMHSE..

yep, the stupid thing that we have to spend our medic time throughout the year.. the thing that Monash faculty proudly s0-called 'long-life learning' apart from the other waste-my-time-energy-and-put-me-into-position-of-hating-someone HPKM thingy..

the main stuff in the portfolio is Critical /reflective essay.. haha.. kind a funny and 'unfair' situation here.. we have to write our experience in CPP, rural and reflect it back in the essay.. no fuss about that though i ended complaining all the way through until i send it to CMHSE... but, how can they give mark base on our experience.. it's my reflection.. not theirs.. i can write what i experience and the outcome of the incident..

it doesnt fair for the faculty to judge us by saying "you should have write somethign about this, have to elaborate more, need more reflection about this (when it doesnt really have a big influece on me.. so, i ended lying a little bit)"... when there are words limit

and there's other thing : i still remember John Togno where saying that we can write anything about our experience in rural for the rural refelctive essay.. next time, never believe you can write anything about your exprience.. in truth, there are 4 criteria that we should have in the essay.. yea.. so much for anything...

well, that's my faculty, where medicine is about HPKM, SPC, CPP, Critical Learning incident, Epidemiology, HEP, CAM and somehow anatomy is well2 below the order... nobody perfect and as the faculty always keep reminding to us, "it's all about long-life learning and u'll appreciate it when years to come".. somehow, i doubt that..

well, since i'm already mentioned about nobody perfect : here's something that's nearly come into perfection in the f1 world.. FERRARI

in 2004, A sixth consecutive constructors' championship and a fifth drivers' crown on the bounce for Michael Schumacher tell only part of the story.

After stumbling to both titles last season, there was an air of expectancy over the winter that Ferrari's time was up.

How wrong they were (that's for the critics... i'm always believe in Ferrari and Michael to win mostly everything)...

The world champs came haring out of the traps at Melbourne, running a full second per lap faster than their rivals in Friday practice alone.

Any thoughts that this may have been because the cool conditions suited Ferrari's Bridgestone tyres better than their rivals' Michelins were put to bed with comfortable wins in Malaysia and Bahrain.

And so the tone was set for a season of utter domination.

For much of the year, it seemed that the only way to beat the red cars was to punt them off, as Juan Pablo Montoya inadvertently did to Schumacher in Monaco which get me into tears and a sore eyes throughout the day... That tangle in the tunnel deprived Schumacher of his 100 per cent record but the great German's incredible run continued well into the summer.

By the time the F1 circus rolled up in Spa for Schumacher's favourite race of them all, he had won 12 out of 13 races. To put that in perspective, remember that the previous record number of wins in a full season was 11 - set by guess who in 2002. So it came as a surprise, and a major anti-climax for Ferrari fans, to see Schumacher clinch the championship in Belgium with a mere second place. Perhaps the disappointment got to him because, for the next two races, Schumacher faded into the shadows as team-mate Rubens Barrichello took centre stage.

The Brazilian had issued a Coulthard-style `This could be my season' rallying cry at the start of the year. And it is true that he had enjoyed his best year against Schuey in 2003. But he was put back in his place at the first race of the year, and didn’t recover until the championship was safely in Schumacher's pocket.

With only pride left to play for, Barrichello led the German home in a Ferrari 1-2 at Monza and won the inaugural Shanghai race – an event at which Schumacher turned in arguably the most dismal performance of his F1 career.

Schumacher reasserted his superiority in Japan before a season-ending Brazilian GP that left neither driver satisfied.

So where does this Ferrari triumph rank against the glories of years past?

Well, in crude numerical terms, 15 wins out of 18 is inferior to their 2002 record of 15 from 17. But coming two years after the F1 landscape was redrawn in order to avoid precisely this type of domination and on the back of a stuttering 2003 campaign, you could argue that this season was even more impressive. Certainly Schumacher produced some drives the equal of any in his career – and he had to because occasionally the Michelin teams got a little close for comfort.

But, looking ahead, perhaps the most crucial thing to take from Ferrari's season is that, as soon as both championships were wrapped up, they stopped developing the F2004 to concentrate their efforts on 2005.

With a headstart like that, there's every chance they'll be just as hard to beat next year. and i'll be at Albert Park next year to cheer for my favourite team and driver in their way of chasing perfection.




and with Schuey's genius, the leadership of Jean Todt, Ross Brawn's tactical mastery, Rory Byrne's design staff and the indestructible engines of Paolo Martinelli. They don't call this the dream team for nothing.
