Updates on da car

Enough of serious stuff, lets revert back to what this blog was about. The car!
New updates? Not much lately but there are still some:

A new sub box was put in place of the old one a few weeks back. 2 reasons for this are:
1) Need to make more luggage space
2) Previous off the shelf box was CRAPT and does not have the volume specified by my sub requirement.

So here you go. A new box with exactly 30litres of volume, fully sealed with infinite amount of screws and 1 tube of liquid nails. MDF thickness was 16mm. Box has a trapeziodal cross section with a sloping rear to allow it to sit flush with the slope of the rear seat backing. Height was restricted to 27cm (limited height due to rear strut brace in place). Internal walls lined with carpet underlay as well. Taaa daaaa:









A false panel was then made up to block off all views of the ugly box lol!

More addition to the sound system to come up soon in December.

Done, now with life updates, kiam ak nooi is down in Melbourne again this weekend. As usual, his night flight to Melbourne was delayed again. Jetstar i love you!. LOL....
2 hours of delay with the same excuse: Technical Glitch. Yeah rite....every flight from Launceston has technical problem? But whatever it is, they still brought my brother here safely and thats the most important innit? Seeing him 2 hours later is still better than not seeing him at all. So, still a half thumbs up to Jetstar.

ok enough.....see u nx time...ciao

Cremation for Pre-Historic Creatures (dinasaurs)

Why feel bad? we are just giving the dinosaurs a proper cremation after their death. Is that a crime?

They once lived and roam this planet. And they died in a natural catastrophe. Humans get proper burial/cremation after they part this life to go on to another. Don't dinosaurs deserve what humans get?

What we are doing is a sign of respect to the dead. Global warming is a consequence of our good deed. That's our price to pay for doing something good. But be rest assured, we will be returned with good karma soon.

Talk about desalination plant in Australia which has and been heavily criticized by the local Greenies. Bring on a better solution on how to produce fresh drinking water to Melbourne. Some said build a dam. Some say collect rainwater runoffs. But rain is not a constant parameter and it is the main factor in our water shortage equation.

No rain = no stormwater runoffs = no stormwater harvesting and dam recharge. So what is the point of all these protest? Desal is the only solution my friends.

Also with their suggestion of building a new dam. If this was what the government proposed, I am 110% sure they will be against all the habitat of our native flora and fauna being destroyed by the flooded region of the dam storage.

So...whatever we do, there will be a sacrifice. And we can only do this much to ensure the sustainability of water source in Victoria. Whatever it is, all these protest should have been done when man 1st invented the internal combustion engine. Not now! It is too late and there's nothing that can be done to prevent the use of fossil fuel to produce fresh water.

Quanzilities says: To Mankind, keep up your good work in cremating dinosaurs!

Good thing is...she was guilty in this instance too...no excuse for her to be mad at me too...guess when everyday seem so meaningful and can be a celebration, anniversary dates shouldn't be the only day you celebrate with loved ones...

This also applies to the 2 late birthday wishes to lils and ah kiam! muahahha

now some of the many things for update:

Me and Her at winery for lunch (Chantel) i think...Malaysian owned vineyard.

After lunch we proceeded to Lake Mountain for an AWESOME drive up. We also saw the devastation from the bushfire on Black Saturday. It was scary. My thoughts go out to all who lost their lives, and also those who lost their homes and belongings.


That is one trip. Now comes updates for da car. Finally managed to source an OEM Subaru roof rack. I've been using a boot mounted carrier and it annoys me each time it gives micro scratches on the paint surface. Now!!...i don't have to worry no more yo!




looks different. But i can still bear with it :) Wind noise from the rack has increased significantly due to resistance from the rack itself. Good thing is it's easy to mount and dismount it from the rails. Ok done for now. ahhh...sneak peak on the Great Ocean Road cruise with the MRT boys last Saturday.
Till the next update. Ciaos

Types of People from driving point of view

ahhh.....so winter has oficially started...which means 1 thing....cooler air = more dense air = more oxygen = better combustion = more horsepower! YEAH~



nah ...doesn't make much difference...maybe 0.3 seconds difference 0-100km/h dash.

Disaster happened on friday night...muffler was busted.....2 holes were ripped into it at the hanger welding...which means a busy me changing muffler back to OEM ones...hmmmm...have to send the broken one back to the exhaust shop since its still under warranty.

Anyways, just feel like describing a few types of drivers.

1.) Loves to drive
People like this usually insist on driving him/herself to everywhere. No matter how far or how uneconomical, they just refuse to carpool or hop into any vehicle to get there. Ahhh...my reason is i don't usually trust my life in the hands of others on the wheel and also... by driving myself, i have the freedom to do whatever i want to do during or after the main destination. Hate being restricted to others' decision on what my day/night will turn out. I happen to fall into this category.

2.) Has a car but refuse to drive
ahhh..... this is the complete opposite of Type 1 driver... people like this are usually or more often then not....TIGHT ARSES!!!... they will find every opportunity to not drive and conveniently hop into anyone's car but theirs. They will give u the best reasons for not driving:

• More fun for everyone to be in 1 car
• Be environmentally friendly
• You fetch me now, i'll fetch u next time (Next time will never happen)
• Your car is alot nicer, lets cruise in style
• Penang traffic very scary lah, i drive in australia already i kenot drive in malaysia anymore :S Most of them have only driven for less than a year in Australia. As if it makes a difference. Oh gosh!!..this group should go drown in their own toilet bowl!
• Lets go for a cruise to XYZ ( cruise in their mind is.....cruise in your car!!!)

Ah...the last excuse really makes u feel like the dumbest ever human. I have fallen for this trap numerous times when someone asked me for a cruise, my mind was thinking a car cruise where a few cars go together...BUT in their mind!!! its you cruise yourself, we accompany you in your car!!..SMART!!!!! NOT!!!!....

3.) Uses others' car, talk like its theirs

ok this group is really sohai!... often there are ppl who uses their housemate's car or partner's car. but thats fine by me. BUT some goes 1 step too much. I know of people who drives someone else's car, (e.g. housemate or partner), goes around calling it their car and....AND!!!....complaining how shit the car is and how crapt it is. But when they don't get to use the car, they complain and ask for sympathy for their lack of mobility. Ahh...if its not your car, please appreciate it and stop complaining...if u are so picky...go buy yourself one and stop complaining

There are many other types but these 3 are the ones i can think of...Drive 2.) and 3.) annoys me the most!!...a few months driving in another country doesn;t make any difference when you are back driving in your hometown. Admit it...its just an excuse not to drive and to get free transport from others.....either that or you have brains smaller than a possum to be able to adapt your driving style back to where you learnt how to drive...in that case.... you are really prone to be a road-kill in the middle of Princess Highway...my advice....STAY AT HOME AND ROTT YOURSELF AWAY :)

ok..thats all folks...till nx time..hahahah

Long lost post......

ahhh.....like i said in the previous post....was expected to be bz bz bz in March....but it went on in April as well...finally i get to sit down in peace and put up some pictures and some words to the pictures :)

Its been such a bz 2 months for me...firstly with work. Had my 1st project setting off with condition assessment of sewer rising mains. Had to travel to Mornington Peninsula almost 4/5 days a week for 2mths consecutively. thats 140kms to and from work per day!....u do the math!

then there are other happenings. Pui Mun's lil sister started her course here and when she was down, the 1st 2-3 weeks was just taking her here and there and showing her around Melbourne.

then came stuff like f1, airshow, and cruises with fellow subaru owners.

Then~....shit happened with some friends whom i don't want to mention names here. But yeah, i shall not mention too much about it here but what happened has made me realise that there are times when u just can put too much faith in people whom u don't know that well. Well, its hard to tell but once something happens, u know there is a line to draw with those that don't treat u as well as u treat them. So let it be~

Work is getting busier and busier as the months passes but i'm enjoying it...so its all good...muahaha...let the pictures begin....the sequence of pics are not in right order :)
