You know, I came across a very interesting article sent in by a reader to the Star. In it the writer gave an account of his brand new Honda Accord being stolen. Talk about GTA (grand theft auto) in real life.He was driving home from the Motorola bridge heading towards Shah Alam via Federal highway. At the set of lights, he made a turn and a car hit him from behind. He also went on to say that he

It's been a week since I've owned the SXE10 and I'm beginning to love it more and more. It's a little more tail happy than I expected but it's all good. The ride is very stiff due to the TRD suspension that came with it. I took it to Ah Keong this morning and he had one of his workers look at it. The TRD suspension has a soft and hard setting for the damper. However, no high low. The car is

After almost 2 years of driving the Civic, it was time to say goodbye to it and move on to another car. I've been searching for this one for a long time, the SXE10. One of Toyota's later FR cars. It's a 210bhp 3S-GE engine. When I tested the car last week, it felt good. The engine was smooth, no shuddering and the car has been well kept. This car comes with TRD adjustables and it's a little more

Last Saturday was Merv's wedding dinner and it was a day filled with activities. The brothers gathered at his place at 0830hrs and we went to his condo in Ampang to pick up the bride. We were put through an ordeal of wasabi flavored nuts with extra wasabi and tabasco sauce, some bitter tea and some baby food. We even had our legs waxed and it was not a pleasant experience. After that it was back

It's been a while since I've posted any new pictures of the Transformers that I've acquired lately. So, thought I'd take one right now. As you've noticed, the Megatron is still inside the box, kinda looks like he's still kept in cryogenic. Went to Rudy's house yesterday for a Raya get-together. Finally met the much elusive Fai-chan. Pleasant gal, suits him very much. Yen even said that they were

Ironhide, this is the one that I've been searching for high and low. Prime's weapon specialist. "Do you feel lucky, punk?!". My favourite line from the movie.Among all, Ironhide's probably the only character that has gone through the most major transformation. In the original G1 cartoon, he was a Nissan Vanette, and a red one as well. For the movie, I'm glad that they chose the black GMC Topkick.

Another piece obtained. I was thinking of the neon green Rachet but since I had gotten the G1 Starscream, it was only fitting that I got the G1 Rachet as well. Somehow, this one looks a lot nicer and it has the Autobot symbol on the arms.

OK, this will be probably the last of the classic Transformers that I will be getting. The childhood dream has been completed. I now have the Optimus Prime and Grimlock. It's a good thing that the seller was willing to come to Bangsar in the evening. The boot of his car was filled up with figurines, some from what I make of it were Transformers movie toys, some classic Transformers and others I

Finally, after too much of watching Transformers lately, I downloaded the G1 classic carton as well. All of that watching got me going down memory lane once again. I still remember the time when my parents agreed to buy me my first Transformers toy. I was given a choice, the original classic Optimus Prime from Takara or the Hasbro classic Grimlock.So being a small kid, I always liked the leader

It's funny how fast the places run out of stock. Sow Hon got word that there would be a restock of the Transformers movie toys. I was out looking for Ironhide, the GMC truck looks kinda good. Instead, when we got there during lunch, we went to Jusco in 1U, there was nothing left.So we walked over to Toys R Us and at first, there was nothing left as well. Till I looked over at the display on the

I finally managed to get my Optimus Prime leader class today. The guy told me that I can now sell it for a profit. It's good that I reserved it 2 weeks ago, after I bought Bumblebee from him. I called up one of the hobby shops in Sungai Wang and they were not willing to let it go for anything less than RM 300.00. Talk about price mongering. These Transformers are selling like hot cakes.

I took the day off today after having a weekend of training at the office. Somehow, the company loves sending us and killing our weekends off. I went to Peter's early this morning to have the car checked out. Apparently after changing the CVJoint, there was still a clunk noise upon making a full lock. Peter had a look at the car and test drove it. He suspected it was the absorber or the mounts.

Damn, it took me forever to locate this Barricade movie replica. I have searched high and low for this. Sow Hon brought his to work on Wednesday and I knew I had to get one. Not only that Barricade was based on a Saleen pursuit car, it was a Mustang. I saw it and I knew I had to buy it.So I rushed to Times Square this afternoon, walked the whole place and I managed to find one place selling it on

I took a day off on Monday to laze back after the hectic moving and supposed systems testing on Saturday night. We stayed back till 10.30pm, and the IT boffins still could not get the network up. I decided, since it'll be up and running on Monday, I think I had better take a leave for the first day of work at the new site. Gremlins would start appearing.So I called up Yaz and Merv, arranged to

Once again, our proud nation has celebrated it's Independence day. The 50th, so after 50 years what have we achieved? Come to think of it, I have not celebrated Merdeka for 5 years. It all started when I left for Brisbane, Australia in 2003. I came back in 2004 and after that I was working for FedEx, serving the Singapore market.

Lovely extractors on my Civic. It's been a while since I've really modded anything in the car. This one was my pledge to keep it as standard as possible. However, due to unforseen circumstances, I had to replace my extractors. Since I was replacing them, why should I keep it standard? Funny, when the extractors a.k.a. exhaust manifolds were installed, they were chrome and shiny. After a few days

Saw this very interesting announcement by Nokia this morning in the Star. They have issued a nationwide recall of the BL-5C battery. Apparently a batch of these batteries made by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006 were faulty. There were about 100 incidents where the battery overheats during charging and caused it to dislodge from the phone. So

I've been having this problem with the Civic for the past few months. Everytime I take a left turn, there's a clunk noise from the front. Since it was a public holiday for me yesterday, I decided to get a few things done. Firstly, I scheduled for the aircond units in the house to be cleaned and chemically washed. One thing, my aircond in the room was starting to form ice on the coils. Everytime I

It's interesting you know how they have these Surfers Paradise Meter Maids. Actually, it was an eye opener when I was in Gold Cost between 2003 - 2004. Every interval, you'll see these meter maids in their inline skates patroling around Surfers Paradise filling up the parking meters for the patrons who's meters have run out.

Here is the new rumored Hachiroku that is being developed by Toyota. The powerplant is a 1.5cc and it will be lightweight below 1,000kg. The engine is codenamed 2NZ-FE good for 120hp, how true this will be remains to be seen. Judging from the looks alone, it does remind me of a Celica, but Hachirokus are supposed to be rear wheel drive. It'll be good to see if Toyota can revive this little feared

I didn't give it much thought that today is Friday the 13th. Thanks Cheryl for bringing this up, you just had to tell me. I was just thinking that it is the 13th of July, nothing more. So what happened to you today?You know, it's funny. I was speaking with Chin Hooi today and he mentioned that his day was fucked. So I told him, blame it on Friday the 13th.

It's a shame, when I saw this photo in The Star, I thought it would win. It was taken by Crystal and it was a natural formation of both the dragon and the phoenix. I mean, usually you'll see cloud formations form and take shape of something, but this is a really huge coincidence that both the dragon and the phoenix should appear at the same time.I don't think I'll need to talk about the dragon.

Congratulations to Rudy who's been promoted to manager. Though he's taking up two portfolios, I think he'd be able to handle both of them. Just more beneficial for the company, pay one guy to be manager for both. Sounds like cost saving.I've just managed to collect the pilot episodes for Battlestar Galatica(BSG) from Wan Yee. Though I'm already up to episode 8 of season 2, I felt pretty lost in

Yesterday was Michelle's last day. I still remember the day when we all joined FedEx together. It was back in 8/8/05. There we were, the five of us, Michelle, Franco, Cheryl, Sam and myself. I still remember the four of us were waiting in one of the meeting rooms and Michelle was no where to be seen. After Joyce came in to greet us, she started to ask if we've seen Michelle. Seeing that no one

So in light of all the new regulation that the Road Transport Department (RTD) is implementing, HID lights a.k.a. Xenons are illegal First they say all Xenon lights were banned, but after a little ruckus caused by automakers such as BMW and Mercedes, the RTD has once again decided to rephrase their statement by saying that it is only illegal if it has been retrofitted. The argument was to their

Now, all of you from the late 80's era, would recall the most talked about cartoon, the Transformers. Back then, this was the only reason why we wanted to go home on time. Not to play games, not to play sports or go for tuition, it was just to catch the Transformers in action. It started with the Autobots, then Decepticons and expanded on from there. It was a simple story line and it really

Johor has been getting a lot of media coverage for the longest time now. To me, it's really become a cowboy town of some sort. I'd imagine if people were allowed to have guns, they'd wear it proud on the waist coupled with a few slugs around the belt. You know,I haven't been to Johor myself but with all the rape cases, robberies, car jackings and what not, who could blame me for not venturing

I realized that it's been one week since my last update. Last Saturday, I made my way to Yut Kee, and before I even sat down, Uncle Shah who had already finished his half boiled eggs and toast ordered one for me. So I looked at him and smiled, "Haaaa, you had a hot night!". He replied saying that, "You too, that's why I'm ordering one set for you". Uncle Roger and Ah Seng just laughed away.Ahh

Well, I haven't been writting much due to the hectic schedule that we have had over the past weekend. Yen and I got married on Friday and it was a wonderful day indeed. To those of my friends who were not there, here are some of the photos that were taken courtesy of Yen's brother Chris. Waitaminute, he's now my brother-in-law. Oh well, enjoy the pictures.We started off with the blessing ceremony

So, the results of my interview came back and the Sr Manager has decided not to hire me. His PA sent me an email yesterday to check if I would be available today. I was in the office, so I said OK.I guess, it is time I sit and think where do I really want to go from here. I have no further interest in this department and my main goal was to get out of here. Looks like one by one, people are

I must say, it's been a while since I've not had a good night's sleep. I was quite worried about today's presentation that something may go wrong. I even brought my laptop along just in case the powerpoint done in Office 2007 may not work. The interview was scheduled for 0830hrs, but was delayed an hour. All the better, at least I can take my own sweet time to get to the office.I reached there

Right now, I'm at home preparing for my interview tomorrow. Got an email from the Senior Manager's PA saying that my interview has been moved to 0930hrs instead of 0830hrs. All the better, I could get a little more shut eye till the time comes to wake up. However, I doubt I'll be getting much sleep tonight.The position that I've applied for is the Operations manager in FedEx, to be based in Johor

Yen and I went to watch the last chapter of the Pirates of the Carribean series. So, Captain Jack Sparrow does not only dies, but he returns. You may be thinking, geez, it seems that everyone who dies in the film seems to come back. Barbosa died in the first part from being killed by Jack. He came back at the end of part two. It was definitely a good movie and this completes the saga. No more

Yesterday was one of those days in the office. No managers in the office, now that's what I call, "No government". My manager was on leave and the other was transfered to the call centre in KL for a week. Woohooo.The central airconditioning decided to act up and it was getting really hot. I couldn't believe that I was actually starting to perspire. It was hot so I made a complaint to the building

I got a call from Yaz yesterday asking about how much Ah Keong normally charges for a full paint job. I told him I think I remembered paying RM 3k for my Mazda. But then again, it could have been RM 2,500 or RM 2,750. He was quoted RM 2k plus to respray his Prelude. I think it would be rather steep considering I paid RM 2,500 or RM 2,750 for my car. Then again I could be wrong. Has Ah Keong

Woke up this morning to send Yen to work. She was going to Genting today for the team building activity that I attended two weeks ago. After dropping her off I headed to Yut Kee for breakfast. I ordered the usual 2 half boiled eggs and a set of toasted bread. Uncle Roger asked if I had a a heavy night yesterday. According to him back in those days, they will order this when they have had rough

I got a shock when I saw Gary's nick as, "New Leased of Life...with HP V". I remember reading an article on one of the Sundays where they featured HPV (Human papillomavirus). So I asked Gary whether it was true?He then replied this morning saying that he has just gotten a new HP Notebook. I thought he has gotten a new lease of life from either his social or nightly activities... hehehe.Looks like

Yen and I were planning to have an easy night in yesterday when I received a call from my cousin Beng. He had come home from Jakarta and he forgot to email me about it. His friend stood him up and he decided to try his luck by calling me to see if I was at home. Sure enough, I was. Before that, Yen and I were out in Sungai Wang shopping for bedspreads. We were actaully planning to go Parkson, but

Yen wanted to have Japanese for dinner a few nights ago. We went to Bangsar Village and found Mizu. I told her that the pricing there was that of a 5 star restaurant. Yeap, we went through the menu and decided on eating something else. Since she wanted Japanese, I thought I'd check out Zipangu in Shangrila. Having the Prestige Platinum card, we get 50% off the ala carte menu. I think we were the

Alright, so came the day of the team building in Awana Genting. I left KL at about 5.25pm and made a quick pit stop by the Mobil along Jalan Kuching. Filled up the tank and shot straight up to Awana. Although it's not at the top of the hill, it still took me a good 35 minutes to reach up there.I made it there just in time. When I reached the parking lot, Sow Hon gave me a call and I told him that

Today, I took half day off to receive the furniture that we ordered. The electrician came in the afternoon to add a power point in my room. Immediately after they completed, Ikea came by with the bed and the cupboard. It took them 25 minutes to complete essembly of the furniture. It's remarkable how easy they make it seem.At about 6.15pm, the bed arrived. After that it was really off to unpacking

Ahh Labour day, a day of rest for all labourers like myself. While the rest of Malaysia celebrated another weekend this week, I had to work the next day because according to Singapore, their Wesak day falls at the end of the month. They must always be different, why?So I thought I'd take the day easy when Yen popped a question saying that if we don't get the furniture and paint the room, she'll

It was the worst ever company dinner I have ever attended. I thought last year's was a let down due to the entertainment. This year, I was determined not to go. However, Yen convinced me otherwise. She said that she was nominated for an award, therefore I thought I'll go support her.In my mind I was thinking, if I didn't go I'd still have to send her there.

It was a wierd day yesterday, after attending a wake. We found out on Sunday afternoon from Yen's brother that her granduncle had passed away. I must say, it's really strange to have meet someone for the first time and to know a month later that he has passed away. He was 88 years old. My grandfather was 84 years old when he passed away. My condolence to Sarah and her family too for their loss.

Yen and I finally found a bridal photo exhibition that we wanted to see. The company was called Ivory Romance, based in Loke Yew. But before that, we went for dinner at Manhattan Fish Market and for some strange reason, the 2 times that I've been there with her, we sat at the same table... again!
