Independent For 53 Years

That would be Malaysia, not my Dad. Heh. ANYWAYS its 2.30am now one day after merdeka, I went out 'till 5am yesterday on merdeka day.

It was sooooo awesome. I wish I had the freedom to do that on the weekends, and the energy to go along with it. Thanks to sleeping late I woke up at 4pm today, heh :). It started when I didnt have anything to do yesterday.

I was on the comp as usual, playing car-town (Yes, its lame but its addictive so sue me) leveling up and shizz. Chung told me that Louis was having a BBQ at his house after tuiton, but I had second thought on losing RM10 just for sausages,bread and burgers.

Sooooo I didnt give a response. Just told Chung MAYBE im popping by and stuff, then headed to tuiton, then thats where things started...

Got back late after tuiton cause my dad forgot to pick me up. So after that he asked me "You're not going to see any fireworks tonight?"

My reply was: "Got fireworks tonight meh?..." YEP. I forgot that they have fireworks on the EVE of merdeka and not merdeka night itself. OOH YEAAAAH! Excuse to go out past 12 ;). After that I asked my dad to drop me off at Louis's house, we had a small BBQ 'till 1am.

Somewhere during that period, Jun Xing dropped by out of boredom. Naturally you all who know me well should know i've got an itchy backside, so I suggested for yamcha after the BBQ. Im glad they were in a relatively good mood. Yamcha finished, they went back at 2.15am and I went to TTDI.

With who? People whom I havent hung with in ages. Daniel & Calvin Tan, yippy! Shisha ftw 8D. The shisha really sucked last night, it constantly reminded me of a grandfathers old merc's smell with berries galore included. Seriously, but my point was it was so AWESOME to chill out of the house at that hour.

The weather was so cooling and breezy, the people were just calm and chit-chatting, and there were modifed cars all over too :). I reached back somewhere around 4.30am and fell asleep by 5am.

SO PEOPLE, happy merdeka once again!!! I LOVE MALAYSIA even though it has flaws everywhere but I guess thats what makes it unique huh? :) Appreciate your freedom Malaysians, not a lot of countries are as relaxed as ours.

Wanna Know Why I Cant Study?

Wanna know why I cant study? The pic above says it all. Anyawys im going to study science now, at least try. Byee :)

My Obsession With Perfection

You know they say, everybody has their obsessions. It can be small, whether a door is closed to a certain amount, or the newspaper is out of place, but im far from that. Heck, if you've seen my table in my room you'd know what I mean. I HAVE however, an obsession for things being uhh, straight? Or equal. Like for example my speakers in my room, if the sound isnt reaching the same tone on either side, I MUST adjust it to be perfect...

And thats why im showing you a picture of my steering wheel. I'll explain below :)


Nanana. So as I was saying! If you all know what I did last time to the steering, I was running a HKB bosskit. It wasnt exactly aligned properly, so my steering was about 10 degrees off while driving straight... Thats where the irritation starts. It got so irritating 'till I changed the bosskit again, this time to a PROPER NRG hub with quick release. It now has the straightness but yalah .___."

Tradeoff is it scrapes the steering column cover and creates plastic dust and uh... its closer than the HKB one. I have a solution for this butttt we shall talk about that later! Im so happy for the new tachometer I got :D



There we go! A 2" tachometer from Autogauge taiwan. Its definately not the most expensive one around, but I just LOVE the design. RM99 including the stand, I guess I cant complain much. Heh.

And lastly... my dream steering for now, haha! Even though im somewhat happy with the nardi I have now, it could use more dish... besides the comfort, isnt this sexy? :) Oh well. Thats life, everything needs money.

My Tonsils Hurt. Bad.

Heh no bluffing, theyre like. Hmm. Like as if someone left a DORITO in there and forgot to remove it.

Oh and im on a liquid diet, cool no? Ice-cream, water, soup. I cant take much solids causeeeee its painfull. Then im also on antibiotics! Claimed to be ok in 5 days, I certainly hope it works...

Should I take 5 days MC? Nyeknyeknyek >:).

Why Tires Are Important

I think by just letting you all see the pictures you'll get what happened. Jun Xing's car got hit by Louis... Bummer :O.

Anyways! Rewind back to what happened. July 31st. We left Stephanie's party early, world stage was going on, and it was raining heavy. Well okay lah, not like end-of-the-world kind of rain, but enough to make the roads look like an obsidian mirror...

So! Sian Hoo, Jun Xing and Louis, we 3 were convoying to lookout point! Uhm, it so happened the route there was to go through damansara heights and this is where it gets intresting ;). Sian Hoo having his flying kancil was leading fast as usual. (80kmh on a wet road is fast. ESPECIALLY if its in a sloping area, drive safe peeps!) Jun Xing was cruising around 60-80kmh, then suddenly came the peak of the hill.

Everybody knows that Jun Xing's car has missmatched tires. For those of you who dont, he runs thin tires in front from a vios (Really cheap tires) and on the back he runs RM300 a-piece, made in Japan sports tires.

IMBA KAN?

Then add that + 2 people + 1 driver + rain + downhill corner + brakes = Lockup (Think of bicycle brakes)

Lockup = Cannot steer.

Cannot steer = Skid.

AND last of all, skid = Langgar.

SOOOO theory of accidents discussed, I shall finish in detail what happened. Jun Xing was cruising on the right lane at damansara heights, at the peak of the long left turn, he braked to enter the corner. The ground being wet, made his wheels lockup. Wheel locked up, he skidded one lane off, hit a vios (super minor damage) and then went back to the right lane... Then thats when LOUIS HIT HIM! *Jeng jeng jeng!*

So yalah. End of story, nobody is happy this happened, but were happy it was a minor accident.

Happiness

Now how do you define happiness? People generally have A lot of oppinions on this matter. It can be food, a nice hot steak with mash potatoes at your favourite restraunt after the rain, it could be seeing your girlfriend after a week of vacation and spending time with her.

Heck, it can even be much simpler things, like cycling! Though that isnt mine, I love driving. Anyways im just doing a short post on this AE86 coupe...

Im sick of seeing beng'd cars with bodykits, LED lights and GT Wings. IMO bodykits are well... kinda like having an artifical look on oneself like way too much makeup on a girl. Removing it leaves a very plain girl underneath. ANYWAYS! Im more of a person who enjoys cleanliness! Or smoothness or whatever you wanna use.

For example this AE, its just so clean. Im a big fan of the half flat black bumpers front and back compared to the usual JDM panda 2 tone color being so oftenly seen in initial D. Generally I always feel happy behind the wheel of a simple car, unburdened by electronic aids and stuff, like again this AE :).

Gah I so WANT this paintjob on a 323, nobody has ever pulled it off before. How do you reckon it'll look like?.... If you are modding your car, do consider not putting on a bodykit, especially if youre a local brand :). Paint + Rims can do the job well enough.

Lastly, if you have a car which is older than God himself, FF, and has less than 100hp at the crank, I also HIGHLY suggest, please, no bodykits. Its just weird but hey its your car :x. Happy modding!

Woohoo Germany Won!

Hmm yes another tak berkaitan blog post title with what im gonna blog about... If you are brain dead by any chance and have ABSOLUTELY no idea what im gonna blog on, uhm, best you leave my blog :D. You wont understand from here onwards haha!

Anyways if it hasnt been too long, remember I was doing a camo BMX project? YEAAAAAH the same one. Its STILL on its way to completion, at least my bike is entirely painted, hehe ;). Handlebars were sanded + painted yesterday by Chung, I help with the sanding! Nice tak?

See, raw steel! I luv <3.

Ah yes, and our very own Malaysian Dora-The-Explorer. His name is Calvin unfortunately, and he's no Mexican immigrant. Close enough tho, he CAN look like one with a beaner shirt and his unshaven moustache.... nvm. Not important. If youre wondering WHY he's in the drain read on!

Nah. This stupid paint-flaken knob made him crawl 3 houses down just to find it ahaha. It starts at Chungs house, since were sanding down his guitar for pre-paint prep (PPP LOOLZ) we took out one of the knobs to put aside, him being 'normal' he asked me to play baseball with the knob and the neck of the guitar.

I thought he was joking, but nooo. He was serious. Well ok, threw it once.

Guess what? He missed, oh WOWEEE :D. It rolled off the porch and NGAM into the drain. Soooo of course we tried to pull off that grille but nope, cemented solid. Ok nevermind, try the side of Chungs house. I was really laughing my ass off at this point cause there were BEAMS OF WOOD blocking the entire drain off at this point, he had to go 3 houses down, remove THAT persons grille + garbage bin and walk in the longkang to get the knob ahahahaha.

Anyways, Calvin, I miss doing dumb stuff like this, reminiscence of form 2 no? I'll be putting pics of the entire painted frame soon, watch this space.
