Again.....After God Knows How Long.....

Dunno why it seems so lazy for me to update my blog, maybe I'm not really into this "cyber diary" thingy. Facebook gets the job done quickly and easily - I guess I'll just let my blog to be put into dormant, not closing it as yet - only just seldom updating it.

New stuff lately (well, it's nothing new but I seldom posted my bike's pic)

A small capacity bike. Kawasaki ZX-150RR.

Still stock standard.....

This chick can do 190kph easily. But on the low side, spares and accessories doesn't comes cheap, and availability is very scant.

And not to forget another thing I got for myself - this. Can't really live without latest phone from Apple, I presume?

Packaging was very neat.

There it goes.....

It's a Singapore set with 32GB capacity. It's SIM free, and officially unlocked - which makes it usable with any SIM telcos in M'sia. Bought it from my trusted seller in Lowyat.Net's marketplace forum.

I can predict my next posts will be quite a few months away, LOL. >_<

Back To Basic

Just.....a view of a thing to come - very very soon.

Missing the good ol' days when I was still schooling, riding my 2 stroke powered "horse".

It's Been......A While.

Dunno whether I should proceed blogging or not. Things have been passing up quite fast and quite a lot; really. I'm still a married man when I did my last post, and I guess time really flies. Being a father I am now, all those favourite past time activities of mine just disappear - bits by bits - which goes along with moment spent with my baby girl.

Jezzebelle with her Grandma, kehkehkeh

>_<'

Satisfaction To The Max

On my bed now, the one utmost stuff contributes to the completion of my gadgetry craves.

Seriously, none can get any better than this. >_<

Bugging Me.....

Really bugging me, this. Could this Android OS powered HTC Hero bettered my iPhone 3G?

Or.....maybe its time for me to get the 3GS?



Really, really bugging me. >_<

Redsn0w^ed+Ultrasn0w^ed = Success!

Restored my iPhone to its latest firmware/OS, yesterday. Took me quite a while to carefully understand and comply to the instructions I gained from Lowyat.net forum, Dev-Team website and iClarified.com. A sweet moment+process of success, I must admit to myself.

After that, installed MAC OS X Snow Leopard SpringBoard Theme.....here's how it looks like.....

On the 1st page.....

2nd page.....

The last (3rd) page.

(Notice the Mafia Wars icon)

Latest firmware/OS = 3.0!!
(Not gonna reveal all of my iPhone's details, hence the blank part)

Operating system 3.0, with fully functioning iPhone on a Celcom 3G Prepaid SIM!! Yayyyy!!

Oh well, there goes another firm excuse+reason not to change to another mobile, yet again.

>_<

Late Update - Gawai 2009

Now, I know this is quite 'basi' for me to post oredi, but what the heck - better than not updating at all. Gawai this year being celebrated at my wife's resident, along with her family. Not my first time though, but considered as first time being part of the family members (past few years' celebration - I wasn't married yet, hehehe). As usual, all those VIPs coming - and it was quite a tiring event also, help serving all the visitors - but nevertheless Gawai this year is a very happening one due to overwhelming attendance from the relatives and friends.

Gawai 2009 cake cutting session with the VIPs

And photo taking session after that - I was the only one wearing short
pants that time, huhuhu :P



And of course, it's not without those 'yamseng' by the VIPs, wishing a prosperous Gawai to all of us. I was the one taking the pic, so I think my wedding pic on the top wall is suffice to put me along "posing" in the photo, hehehe~

But somehow my pic doesn't emerged in the next day's Borneo Post, only my hair is visible. So, didn't cut the article's photo though.

Last but not least, these guys made my day - Gawai wouldn't be enough fun without you guys coming, thanks guys!

Julian, Keegan and Alom - craps session lead by me

>_<

Being Too Kind Also Cannot

Ever confront someone who thinks he has all the power? And you feel like 'brushing' him?

Maybe I ought to be myself when I was still in my school days.

Why are kids nowadays like to make-up stories? Being brought one-by-one and face-to-face, then give millions of excuses?

Show me your balls!

Weekend Mods : Breath Easy

What I've done to make my engine breaths easier. But a bit annoying when listening to the sound of air gushing in sucked by the "snail" - might change to Apexi Dual Funnel filter next month. But the setup did improve the pick-up bit on the mid-range and surprisingly providing extra mileage by 30 - 35KM more! Not as frugal as it may seems, but quite an accomplishment especially for a fuel guzzling all time 4WD wagon.... >_<

Custom made stainless steel intake pipe with all associated
nipples for the associated hoses.....

Notice the HKS BOV.....

Samco silicone hoses.....

Local brand ASR silicone reducer. Notice the
Elevo clip.....

Next mod: Autometer Cobalt AFR meter! (peace sign by my wife means : agreed!)

"Cha Cu Mee"

The best I've ever tasted - period. But only available in Bintulu ler. In Miri, haven't found any stall making it as good as this. Best. Yummy. This one I ordered is the big bowl which cost RM5.00. A bit pricey, but the soup is just way too tantalizing. Rich in flavour. If you happened to drop by/going to Bintulu, just beside Riverfront Inn, find a kopitiam by the name Seaview Cafe?/Restaurant? Forgot about it, but just find the name Seaview and ask for Cha Cu Mee (mi goreng sup in BM or fried noodle soup in English)

You'll left wanting for more, the next day. And owh, it's non-Halal of course.

>_<

Finger Performance

Weekend bore and at last doing some fun+boring stuff. Care to challenge yourself?

Pahh. >_<

Some New Cheap Stuff For My iPhone

Bought this from some LYN seller. Screenguard Mirror protector for RM20, and the orange leather matt for RM50, total is RM70 inclusive of free Poslaju. No problem with sticking the screen protector though, but a bit of complicated when it came to the leather matt - but nevertheless I'm quite satisfied with the appearance and the protection it gives. Seems like I'll just have to scrap my plan of buying a protective pouch for my iPhone, perhaps as for now. >_<

Days....Just Passed By.....

The next thing you know, it's already near the end of February, personally I feel the time is kind of accelerating on its pace - so quickly that I have forgotten that I actually have my own blog, which needs to be updated accordingly, well - let's just say the laziness inside me has taken its toll, seriously I'm gonna improve myself on it, quite very soon.

In these few weeks, think I'm having a bit of fetish for girl's song, and that of Shania Twain's From This Moment has been playing its tune on my mind long enough to make me appreciate the tune of the song even more, heck; I even add the song to my semangka.FM widget, though there's some introduction regarding the origin of the song by the singer herself - quite sad actually - she just got divorced from her husband, not long time ago. Pah.

Pic taken at my house in Bintulu, during CNY.

A bit of craps as usual, cheers. >_<

KK Family Trip.....Late Posting!!

Ok, now for a bit of non-car related posts. Well, went for family trip to KK. Just some sight-seeing, nothing much actually. And a bit of shopping sprees, well - just a bit upset couldn't find any car accessories shop nearby where I stayed.

May find some of my posting is a bit lame - sorry but at this time around, I'm not feeling very well for the past few days thanks to these uncertain weather condition. Just felt that I need to update my blogs with something....kan?

Arrived at KK LCCT - cheap tickets mahh. Notice my dad is behind me and my wife with her wide grin, kehkehkeh :P

This is Gaya Market and we also been to Pasar Filipina, damn the market (Tamu) is quite big and long, I would assume nearly 1km of stalls selling all those foods, stuffs, bags, cds, shirts, you name it. Got a sore leg after walking through the market....


And the next day, rent the hotel's van and went to Gunung Kinabalu, but not climbing it la....only went to the kaki gunung.....and the environment is quite chilly, felt quite fresh when you take a deep breath into your lungs. :P


Posing with my sisters....


Took a family picture at the kaki gunung.....


With my parents~ Luv this pic!


After that, went on to Kundasang, took a couple of pics too - the place is very very nice with all those trees, don't really feel like you're staying in Malaysia.....mind you with all those cool surroundings....hmmm....


Went on to Poring Hot Spring.....






On our way back, stopped by the roadside at Kundasang to buy some fresh fruits and vege.....


Camwhoring again....:P


That night, having dinner at the seafood's reataurant situated somewhere at the Waterfront (forgot the name already)


And the next day, shopping! Pic was taken outside Warisan Square's building.


Bluish seaview.....something you don't see everyday in Miri.....

Well, actually there are more pics to upload, but it will have taken me all day to resize and upload it, and in case you're wondering, yes we went to 1Borneo also.....I really wish there's this kind of shopping mall someday in Miri.....hmm....till then, will update again about my Chinese New Year celebration last week - stay tuned~ >_<

VIP or JDM style?

Done something to my rims - Well, not really what was in my mind at that time but I think it suits the looks of my ride currently.....these rims wasn't actually what I had in mind but due to budget constraint at that time, I was forced to buy this rims.....bought at Big Wheel, it's quite a steal for me actually - RM3700 came with Yokohama A-Drive tyres - I don't think I could find any other offer better. In case you're wondering, it's just a Singapore brand rims, SSW.....

Well after few weeks meddling with the rims I finally decided to change the looks of my rims dramatically - frankly I think the rims need to be "pimped" :P

So sent the rims to be sprayed in metallic black - Was quoted RM70 per piece, so a total of RM280 was spent - I would say I couldn't be more satisfied with the result -

the spray/paint/workmanship is
simply amazing, one could never tell whether my rims were originally bought like it is now.....

And.....in case you're wondering, this should be the rims that I would've bought - Was quoted RM6500 for the rims alone, with 18" in size - that's excluding postage/courier
fees from West M'sia.....


Not cost effective, you think? Well, think again dude - these rims although
18" in size, is much lighter than Taiwan made rims that you've typically seen - I dare say
it's even lighter than 16" rims with the tyre on! The brand is from SSR (Speed Star Racing)
and the model is Professor SP1.

And just for your info, I called this SSR - Sangat Sangat Ringan - These company
have the comparable reputation with Volk/Rays for producing forged and light sport rims.

>_<

Modding....Again!

Just gotta have those big 'buluh' muffler on my ride.....yes.....in case you're wondering, I just couldn't repent myself from changing my exhaust system to a more menacing looks - yeah, I actually prefer the looks more than the sound - but you just have to accept the fact that good looking muffler will set you back with big noise too, read : ATTRACTING SUMMONSES..... Well, who said car-modding is law-abiding by the way? Scared of summons, no need to mod loh!

*And I'm not gonna tell what type/brand of muffler I'm changing - judge/guess it yourself*

Up she goes.....the mechanic inspects the stock exhaust setup.....

Down goes the stock 2.5" piping.....looks heavy? Damn I was quite surprised the piping weighs only a mere 7 kg! Damn those JDM stuff are really high in quality.....

Now, see that two bulges along the pipe? That's the utmost reason I'm changing my pipe to a straight one, on the left is the catalytic converter, while normal bullet on the right.....rule of thumb for a turbo engine reliability (not to mention power increase) - no unnecessary restriction!

And the stock muffler.....also surprised me - it only weighs less than 4 kg! And just take a look at the size! 2.5" inlet and outlet.....

The 4WD driveshaft.....3 joints altogether.....I wonder if there's carbon material for these? :P

So.....done a bit of everything.....2.5" straight stainless white piping.....

Notice the 4.5" rainbow colour tip.....notice the mechanic only wore a RayBan glasses while doing the welds..... :P

Tadaa...!

Yea yeaaa.....I know.....Gonna be more careful and trying to avoid all those 'hotspots' where the law enforcers loved to setup blocks.....

And....What's this? Nah, surely it's not my engine. The pics I took is from the workshop's garage - their drag project car.....not gonna spill so much info about this, just take a look at the massive intake plenum to accomodate the air fed from an Apexi RX6 turbo unit, and the Bosch dual coil unit - seen this for the first time.......

Was wondering too - aren't there any non-car related stuff to be posted? Stay tuned for the next stuff. >_<
