What a crazy weekend.....one of the 'funnest', action packed weekend i had in a long long time WOOHOO~~
What can I say.....weather is getting better now with warm days forcasted for the whole week. We've collected heaps of water in our catchments with Maroondah Reservoir and O'Shannassy Reservoir filled to capacity and overflowing....be rest assured that the spill will be collected further downstream at Sugarloaf Reservoir...
Our water storage is way higher then current date last year at 36.6% as of 2pm today (19/10/2009)...I say...good job to the clouds! muahahah
Summer is coming and with extreme hot weather forecasted, we will be losing heaps thru evaporation and also with dry wind factor seeping out some of our water. So this is a good relieve to compensate for the coming hot spells. I just hope it doesn't get too hot :)
That said, lets hope our water level keeps going up and soon we can start washing cars at home...taking our own sweet time cleaning every hole and gaps on our car...
So whats new with my life? NOTHING!!!.....when life is at its best, how much better can it get? kidding... work's treating me well, weather is treating me well.... friends are treating me well, only thing is money is not treating me too good....we can never get enough can we?
Announcement!!!:::: its Marvin's birthday tommorow, ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAO MAO!!!!....
we had an awesome weekend celebrating with you .... Go-Kart, Jap Dinner, and bashing your house after that...lol... now you hurry up and make ah sou go kk!!!
Also, Happy Belated Deepavali to all my Hindu friends. Sorry for the late wish.
ok more to come soon...just don't have pictures at the moment and that will teach me a lesson to whip out that camera for some picture posts. Its been pretty boring and black and white for the last few posts. Will get this worked out real soon...on that note, enjoy the last 1 hour (for those in Australia) and for the rest, enjoy the rest of your afternoon of Monday....Tommorow will be a full on day as described a few posts away!

- Every three seconds, a new baby is born.
- It takes eight and a half minutes for light to get from the sun to earth.
- The Hubble telescope is so powerful that it is like pointing a beam of light at a dime that is two hundred miles away.
- If all the gold sitting in the oceans and seas were mined, every person on this planet would get about 20 kilograms of gold each.

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!
