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

ciaoz

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 :)

Done with life and happenings...now back to the car ....this blog is about the car as usual...:P

Much has been done to it since the last post about my lil white baby here.

1) Lenso Type-M 18x8 lightweight wheels with Kumho Ecsta KU31 225/40/ZR18
2) Hypertech Front and Rear strut braces
3) Custom Unequal Length Headers (giving it the boxer burble)
4) Oval muffler from Penang :) bought from the shop outside the Gooi's Mansion!

Here are some before and after pictures of the rims fitted. Really happy with the results.

Penang made mufflers!!!!

UEL Headers

Hypertech Front strut braces....sorry no good picture of the rear braces :(

and some pictures from the Great Ocean Road cruise with the MRT boys.

OH YA FORGOT TO MENTION......my diffuser~~~....check out the sexy ass!!

Another sexy ass picture

And as usual.....a picture for your desktop background maybe? Chevy Camaro aka Bumble Bee from Transformer the movie spotted in my basement car park~


Thats all for now guys and girls~....Just wanna say to all my close friends....esp Kinz, Kiam, and KimHye...if u guys are reading this!!....I miss you guys and i'll come find yous alls soon ...a big task...but...i will do it!!!....bestest buddy EVER!!!!!

Adios amigo

Busy March ahead

Avalon airshow this weekend
MRT cruise to great ocean road nx saturday
Australian grand prix the following week...woohoo!!!!

sorry for the no updates...had a blardee hectic time since i got back fr malaysia both with work and also cars and also my bear bear..hahaha

Rims installed, unequal length headers installed, muffler installed, diffuser installed. all done...now waiting for the carbon bonnet scoop delete to be completed...no time to fabricate that piece yet...arghh...

pictures will be up soon the moment i get time to do it...have it all in photobucket but its a pain to get it linked fr there coz my pictures are too big for blogspot...damn it...

Wishing kiam best of luck in his Pr application...hmm...he's been thru alot of trouble to get all these done and he deserves it ...u hear me DIAC??????

arghh...no much of a change in life lately...just a lot of changes in some people's mindset..its hard to predict how an individual can change in such a short amount of time...sad but its beyond our control on how one wants their life to be....we as a friend can only do this much to tolerate some shit...its not up to us nor is it our power to have control on how we want them to be...its their choice and if thats the way they pick it...then we should respect them and let them walk their own path while we continue walking our simple path of life...

besides that..i'm having a small dillema in life too....thinking of an investment property to buy but at the same time drooling over my Ford XR5 turbo...its on sale now due to the credit crunch...plus there's an offer for my car for a decent amount of money...but its obvious a property is more beneficial than to pay for something that depreciates over time....will see how it goes and i will weigh out my ability to purchase either one...muahahhaha

by the way...helping a friend sell his car.

Volkswagen Beetle
year 2005
mileage : approx. 50,000 kms
Colour : Silver
Accident free. Legit reason to sell. He's leaving Australia and obviously doesn't need the car no more. Contact me for more information if interested. Haven't got pictures yet but will post the moment i get my hands on them
Price : AUD 21,000 (NEG)!

Thats about it for now...will get back very soon...PROMISE! haha

Merry Christmas and a very Superbly Happy New Year of 2009

Hello again...sorry for the lack of updates as promised :( had been busy the last couple of weeks. Eric and his parents were in Melbourne doing their crazy shopping so me and Jacina as the ambassador of Melbourne were summoned to bring them around for their mission...SHOPPING!!!

Boxing day was mad!!...i spent so much on nonsense...eg. a BBQ Pit from bunnings, a Samsung 5.1 home theatre system, a few clothes, and most importantly a nice little gift for my baby.

Samsung HT TZ315

Am at work right now on a New Year's eve. Office is dead quiet. There's barely anyone in here. Looks as if South East Water Limited has retrenched everyone in the office :P

Anyways, just want to take this opportunity to apologise to anyone whom I have unintentionally offended, hurt, or in anyway caused tension between our friendship in the year of 2008. However, there are a few that I have intentionally caused this tension and I DO NOT apologise AT ALL!! Like Bryan said, "BAD LUCK MATE". And for my other friends, "Maaf Zahir dan Batin". I love you guys and u are all my most valuable possesion in life.

Lets welcome 2009 together tonight with a happy and cheerful atmosphere. For those friends/brothers whom i can't be with to celebrate tonight, we will have our little belated celebration soon. Kin Yew, Yun Kai, Boon Ping, Kim Hye, Leon, Doro, Marcus, Bob Chan, Affendi, Niro and all that I have missed, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

and to all my other readers, U guys have a great 2009 as well aight. Alright back to work. Take care people. I shall update my blog more often and will put that in my 2009 resolution as well :)

SELAMAT TAHUN BARU!!!

Goodbye 2008

The time has come to wrap up the year of 2008. The year of RATS!!!...oh yeah!!!
So many things had happened in the past 12 months. Firstly, all of us who graduated in 2007 got their PR/TR. They are: My dearest Pui Mun, The Ah Pooi from penang, The Ah Tu from Tambun, Mr. Andy from Penang, and lastly myself. Its been a tremendously joyous year for us all.

Everyone got a job in a relatively short period of time and all seem to be happy with whatever they are doing.

Then comes our bestest buddy. Our all time buddy Mr. Kiam Ak Nooi who recently graduated in the southest part of Australia, Hobart. He's currently the rawk star of the group. He's been complaining, whining, and scaring the hell out of himself for not being able to finish in time even with me telling him he will. So...do you believe me now KIAM???? WOOOHOO!!!....CONGRATULATIONS BRO!!!!....with love, hugs, and kisses from all of us in Melbourne. We are so proud of you. On this day, we have a very proud Duck Egg with his Law Certificate walking around the streets of Hobart.

In the 12 months of my life in 2008, I have made plenty of new friends and also lost some friends. In 1 year, much have changed as well. From friends whom I thought were annoying at one point of life had become one of my closest friend. And from friends whom I once thought were true to me until i found that there are still people we can't trust entirely. Some friends hang around you for their own benefit. They will be gone and unheard of for months and months and only to come back to you to ask for favours. And then there are some who are nice in front of you but have wicked plans behind your back. Well oh well....there's only this much trust you can put on them. So if you think of it, it's better to have 1 true friend than to have a 100 friends who you can't even trust your daily life with let alone your own life. At least you know with that one true friend, you can rely on them at the most critical time.

So what have I achieved in 2008?

• Got my PR
• Got myself a job as a Graduate Engineer in South East Water
• Finally being able to send my car for its 1st ever Autosalon
• Moved in with my sister
• Drove up to the snow :)
• Brought my bow over to Melbourne and finally shooting with the Aussies
• Ate cherry for the 1st time when Pui Mun's mum was here
• Purchased my 1st online product from eBay
• Met Tun Mahathir for the 1st time on his visit to MElbourne
• and last but not least, ever so loved my baby more than ever!!!

So what's for 2009? Well I don't believe in setting specific goals to achieve and then only to grieve over your failure to do so. I will let things happen as it comes and then improve from there. Opportunities will always come in different form and if you have already set your goal, then there will be no space left for whatever new opportunities that may come by your way. So lets leave it open. BUT..i have a few goals up my sleaves... muahahhaha

• First of all, i want to be able to spend more time with my family esp. my parents and my sister and also Pui Mun OF COURSE!!! Also not to forget my close friends who I will always love you guys as well.
• Then, if possible, get myself a new car by end of 2009

Thats about all I have to say for the year in summary. Pictures to come up soon.

On another note,
I would like to wish Miss Jenna Ong Yee Lin a very happy birthday. She being the last among us to celebrate her birthday, will be turning 1 step to LAU AH MA status. woahahah

Alright. Time to go to bed. SHall update soon. Good night people~

The Scary Experience

3 Weeks ago, I was out with Bryan and Kishen till quite late for coffee at Chapel Street. After that, I was driving home and decided to take a drive into the city. I got pulled over by a cop truck within minutes of entering the city, they were conducting a random check on me and my car. DAMN!!..got a warning and he let me off.

Last week!!..i got blardee chased by another patrol car on Princess Highway. One side of my HID blew a few nights b4 and i guess that was what got their attention and when they drove past me, they knew they had a juicy car to defect...luckily my senses were superb enough to make me take a u-turn and i saw them driving the opposite direction with full persuit lights on heading my initial direction. ARGHH!!!...blardee cops giving me grieve...went home that night and took off everything straight away.

There you go.....no more CF Bonnet...coz the scoop is illegal apparently...too bad to the cops...i have plans to get the bonnet back on again...this was what happened last night

Template has been completed for the scoop delete. Will be using a piece of alluminium at the moment. Soon i will be making a dry carbon plate to replace the alluminium. Just don't have the time to get things sorted out yet. New HIDs are coming soon hopefully.

Oh yea...sold my black rims as well....some guy bought it off me for his 180sx. Looks mad on his car actually. Was sad seeing the rims go to another person. But what's gotta be done gotta be done. New ones won't be coming so soon. Trying to accumulate some $$$ in the bank b3fore i spend.

.....what else is new.....oh yea...replaced my OEM batteries with this!!::

Optima D51 Yellow Top 400CCA dry cell, deep cycle batteries. $230 bucks for this yellow baby here. ITs amazingly superb for a battery this size. Now there's no worries of my car not able to start up after only 12hours left in the basement WTF!!!!...

On another note, I want to wish Kiam Ak Nooi CONGRATULATIONS for his final results and also to his graduation from UNITAS. Previous post was for his final exam, this is for his final visit to his uni hall for his convocation..WOOHOO!!!....and also to the addition of a new car by a Penangite in Tasmania...can't wait for you to come on the 21st bro!!...we all missing you here and already excited about your visit..

ALSO!!...i proudly announce that...I am no longer on Bridging/Student visa anymore...got my email last night at around 12.30a.m. that my Permanent Resident Visa has been granted...HOLY CRAPT!!!....i'm so happy...alright..lunch time...ciaoz
