so funny?



gosh tell me this is a joke............. come on tell me .... 

pls be honest: will you buy this?

it's not going to loose change surely since it's a bell & ross...... 

but they can make it a standard issue for captain jack sparrow haha......... official watch for the pirates of the carribean.........

patience my friend......



other than the regular taiwanese options like D2, BC, tomei, k sports............ we now have gab suspension for the lancer ex........!

yahoooooooooooooo!!!

best of all, i think the price could be extremelyyyyyyy reasonable...... even better if the installation is done in JB.....

suddenly i am tempted all over again haha.......... oh come on!

almost there....

was very tempted to install aftermarket brake lines for the car.....  when it comes to brakes, the better the merrier......

purpose?

firstly to improve the braking performance.... 
and secondly, just for the fun of it....

as the shop did not have the exact item for my car, we decided to see if the one for the evo fits......

alas! after a good wait, when we finally removed the wheels.......... the lines dun FIT..!!

ah.... haha..... now we need to custom-make a set for the car.......

next time ok?

Monday 30 March 2009

switch...


the choice is clear........... dun wanna pay too much for japanese or korean alloy wheels? no problemo, there's always the taiwanese to look to.....

for the money they ask for, they are surely doing a good job............. i have no issue with their quality and looks.....

when money is not unlimited, one has a make a choice.....

reeeeeeeeee-contract...

after thinking high and low, i have decided.......

to sign up for the starhub 8 Mbps plan for 24 months................

it isnt the cheapest but in order to stay on as a HUBBER, it's a small price to pay......

i just have a feeling that within 6 months, the price plans WILL fall like .....

like....... i cant think of a better word than F..... 

:)

royal oak....!



ever wished that you have a royal oak? 

well if u did and still cant afford one, then singapore changi airport is your place to go to see BIG royal oak timepieces.......

and these have something that AP watches do not............ 

LED illumination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha.......... that makes it very bright indeed....

kazera part 2...

after work i decided to check out the kazera....... i just wanted to catch it LIVE.....

the shop isnt that far off from my workplace so i took a quick spin and when i saw it, it was WOW................it looks so much better in "person"....

however it is a 8-inch wide alloy wheel .... which means i have to use a 235 mm wide tire....... and of cos it carries a cost-penalty as well......... a 235/40-18 is very close to S$300 a pc......

i also managed to find out why i like this model so much........ the design is surely arresting and the finishing is top-notch....buttttttttttt it costs $400 a pc!........... not exactly affordable.......... but still considered reasonable for a non-taiwanese 18 inch alloy wheel.....

one load off my mind after i knew the PRICE...... to entice me to take up the offer, the salesguy said i could have the wheels and tires for S$2300 if i trade-in my set of stock wheels and tires....... hhmm how about that..??

at the same time i checked out the price of a 225/40-18 hankook ventus v12............ in case i opt to replace the current tires only............. it came to about S$260 a pc...... 

hmmmmmmmmmmmm ... i really need to think about it......

Sunday 29 March 2009

m1 says....

ok back from office....

and m1 says....

one person one take 3 plan only...........

not any more than 1 ok..??

haha........ too bad..........

next time maybe....

another kazera....



before my previous set for my old car, i have never heard of kazera..... in singapore, the more popular brands are either from japan or taiwan .......

apparently they make pretty cool products....... and i was most satisfied with the look, finish and weight of the my kazera TR-1 alloy wheels....

out of interest, i went online to browse at their current offerings................. and this one is my favourite...... especially the spokes that extend all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy OUT .... and also the red accents....

i wonder how much they cost........

a new order

oh my oh my here we have a new world order...... where the upstart has really delivered the promise and the goods....... 

brawn gp, the last minute gatecrasher to the world of formula 1, has achieved a historic one-two in their debut race....

i am just amazed at what they did............ AWESOME...!

and towards the end, steve slater said that this is his 20th year in commentating for f1............... oh come on, after 20 years, he still makes so many mistakes ..........week in and week out........ just as often as a baby drinks milk.....

lawnmower...

when one moves ahead it brings along progress......

but this year i have no idea what's happening.....

cos modern f1 race cars now look like over-powered lawnmowers........ the front wing is so ridiculously large that it threatens to cut away all the overgrown grass in its path.... 

i can also imagine someone thinking that he's using a motorised shovel..... a 2.4 litre 750 brake horsepower powered shovel..... haha...... yes, f1 drivers can now imagine themselves as BOB the BUILDER......

it's all going CRAZY...!!!!


Saturday 28 March 2009

have springs will travel.....


when it comes to springs.... you are spoiled for choices.....

rsr
tein
kg mm
jic
eibach
espelir
apex

you name it, the market has it....

but it comes to the best, you may have to go with eibach.......

anyway with the recent contact at the carpark ramp, i may have to give up all idea of springs and coilovers.....

goodbye to lowering!!!! sob sob......


my goooooodnesssssssssss



yes yes yes forgive me ......... yes yes i know it's a harry winston...... yes yes i am sure it's a technological wonder.....

but hey come on... when it's a monster i'll say it..... 

this is hideous.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

out in the open....

i was at millenia walk this afternoon and of cos i never missed a chance to walk past cortina espace...... the largest watch boutique in singapore.....

surprise surprise when i saw a audemars piguet royal oak offshore rubber clad in the glass display...... and this has never happened before (at least for me) until the financial tsunami..... a sign of even tougher times???

grab it while you can..... for it may not be there for too long.....

no matter what.... AP ROO are always popular and very wanted......

closer to roon....

now that his england boss has called him a mad man..... wayne rooney should have a new nickname to go along  ....

wayne "the looney" rooney..... certainly fits him like a glove......

one size...???

can the authorities do something about humps..???

i mean road humps........... which are those dump things that FORCE you to slow down while on the roads.....

why do they leave it to tom, dick and harry to decide.....???

some are SO high SO steep SO gentle SO sharp that the best thing road humps can do is to collect scratch marks....!!!

let's have one size.... a legalised size which can work to make cars slow down and yet does not damage body-kitted cars and others....... very often road humps make your car suspension go bad (sooner or later........)

*SIGH*

Friday 27 March 2009

lost?



from a closer pic i am thinking......

are the hands a little too thick.... and

are the hour markers a little too big....?????

cool is the seconds hand though...... kinda unique i find it...

a nice touch is the ceramic inserts for the bracelet........

Wednesday 25 March 2009

bad ass and more............


after rolex introduced the sea-dweller deepsea and pulled the plug on the sea-dweller, the gap between the 300m-rated submariner and 3900m deepsea is way way too wide....



but instead of a new model to bridge that gap, they passed the buck to tudor in the form of the hydro...... rated down to 1200 m......... WOOHOO!!!

and this is a seriously good-looking diving timepiece....... ! i think it's going to be reasonably affordable for all the great features it come with......

cheers to tudor...

a smoother breitling.....



for this year, they have wisely chosen a smoother approach for their designs.... pay attention to the watch case and bezel.....

instead of the sharp and angular edges, every line is less defined than before.... which is a good thing.....

cheers to new improvements......

black black

when i cannot see what's ahead of the car through it's windscreens (yes .... both rear and front), something is wrong.....

either there's a screen (illegal when operating the vehicle) or the tint is way too dark...... both of which need to be addressed......

so the situation becomes dangerous.............. i'd always keep a lookout of what's ahead..... not just the car infront but many many many cars ahead......

which is especially important for riders....... cos 0.1 seconds of reaction time can save you and your ass....


a choice....



soon i will have to decide on which plan to recontract for......

maybe the 8 Mbps plan at $44.94 is the most suitable at a price/service comparison........... i dun think i need 12 Mbps for my daily tasks.........

most importantly i dun game...... so i can shave off a little for the monthly bill.....

the mille diver


oh yes these are the first live pictures of the rm025.................. the million dollar titanium/gold masterpiece for the richest of dive masters.... :)



so it looks as thick as a tin car of tobacco...? almost almost, surely it's a chunk of a watch...... and one needs a big wrist to carry the look....

it is really TOO massive.....

an old favourite....



ever since the old favourite store re-opened, i have yet to try the fried hokkien prawn mee aka sotong mee, a term my friend prefers to use haha..... SOTONG SOTONG SOTONG MEEEEEEEEEEEE

for a reason that eludes me, the chef was gone............. gone into retirement? anyway this new chef is pretty ok......... i couldnt have tell much of a difference between the old and the new...

a good effort nonetheless......!

to stay or not to stay.....

an american associate professor wrote to the papers an article "to cane or not to cane".... with reference to a public caning of a student in school....

so she questioned if such a barbaric act is justified.... well i think the question for her is "to stay or not to stay".....

leave singapore if she cannot accept our way of life....... perhaps she like the michael fay type.....and their way of bringing up barbaric kids......

not valid

some drivers complain that since motor insurance is a legal requirement, the government should step in to regulate the industry amid the higher and higher costs............. oh pls.....!!!

well take a step and think........... the legal requirement is 3rd party motor insurance.... not 1st party aka comprehensive insurance that covers damage to the vehicle even if it's due to the fault of the driver....

one is obliged to take up comprehensive insurance bcos the owner owes the finance company a sum of money = the loan.....

so instead of barking up the wrong tree, do read up more.... if one has the bucks, pay for the car in full and one can enjoy relatively low cost 3rd party motor insurance.... comprehensive insurance is only necessary cos one has to BORROW to buy a car....

sigh...........

hit for five...!

5 goals to the goodie.............

a most impressive performance.... but of cos aided by 2 penalties.....

somehow the good feeling from the victory over 9-time european champions real madrid has stuck on to liverpool.....

it was 4 goals last week and now 5.....

however no complacency please...... 

Sunday 22 March 2009

a sock!

i'd always wanted to get some protection for the little ipod.............

but those cases and skins sold at ipod stores are horrendously expensive..... not way! no way am i going to pay those prices for a piece of condom for the ipod..... 

at the other end of the scale, one can get plastic skins or cases from pasar malam (night market in the malay language)..... hehe of cos there's no running away from the cheapo feeling....


now today here's a gift from a regular and trusted dealer........... it's not alot of money but it's the thought that counts..... 

thanks.... and i've got 2!..... in blue and green..............


on top of what

the papers reported: toyota corolla altis is the top-selling car in singapore......!

hey immediately i thought: what's up.....???

ever before i looked at the car left right front back centre bottom and up....... there's not one profile that's even close to pleasant, let alone is attractive..... 

and let's look at the price...... it's ok but not as cheap as it should be......

i'd rather buy a mitsubishi cs3 and keep the spare change....


so mark the day....

27 sep 2009............. 

for the 2nd singtel singapore grand prix at the marina bay circuit............

if the bad times continue to roll, the locals will just stay at home to catch the race on tv.... haha

meanwhile in days to come, the first race will roll off at australia...... 29 mar 2009........

very soon everything will be back on track....

more consideration....



time to make a stand..... especially after a couple of occasions whereby i could feel the yokohama advan a10 at its limit..... and i dun like that feeling at all....

of cos europeans and japanese tyres are good ....but there's a significant premium over the offerings fromt the rest of asia....

after my own experience with the hankook k104.... i think the new ventus v12 is certainly worth a try...... the good look helps too......

let's see let's see....

da best....

the best tackler in the english game = paul scholes....

and i forgot to add............. part-time goalkeeper too.............

Friday 20 March 2009

more inspiration..........

hey hey.... here's another inspired watch from nautica.............


and so what's the inspiration of this "new" design...??? hhmmmmmmm ... let the pics do the talking....

relativity

compared to the hamilton khaki base, the nautica is a better choice.... a far more COOL choice.... 

my few gripes, it looks very similar to recent designs from citizen..... and the crown is SOOOO similar to the compression keys on JLC compressor watches.....


and if you cant afford a de bethune...... the one below is not that far off .... cheerssssssss!


is it becoming a trend to "borrow" designs from more established manufactures....???? no longer is originality something to cherish......


awkward....



one word ...... AWKWARD.....

something is not quite right.... maybe it's the missing lugs..... the wide strap....... the dial..... the text on the bezel....... 

i dunno or maybe it's all of them....

should i..??

shd i get a recontract for my starhub maxonline? 

or should i switch to m1 broadband....???

a vs b comparison....

starhub 8 Mbps $44.94
starhub 12 Mbps $56.92
m1 10 Mbps $40.60

seems like m1 offers a better deal on paper........ is there any catch in between..????

let me find out more....

as u probably know, these ppl are great at hiding details in the fine print.....

isnt it alittle too late..??

a change for the better is welcomed............. but to change for the sake of changing is not..... many a times i have no idea what bernie the man is up to......

so how about a winner takes all approach for the new f1 season...???? i am not sure if that's what the fans and the teams want..... what do you think??

somewhere in the middle, i think we can award more points for a win..... that's surely the way to go....

maybe 20 points for a win...... 12 for 2nd place..... 6 for 3rd place...... and 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 ..... 

hmmmm..... it might be too late this time

oh plssssssssssss

oh my... i simply hate driving home at around 530 pm............. 

not only the roads are congested but the number of road hoggers multiplies faster than you can count.....

such a hassle to move around and also drives up my blood pressure.....


welcome home...

yes welcome home jerry ee..............

it must be good to be back.....

Wednesday 18 March 2009

oh no? crazy......

queue up to buy i-magazine? even under the hot mid-day sun...?????

crazy................ *shrugs*

still going up

wow.... COE prices are still going up.....??

what's the deal? so people are still buying right????

------------------------

and still more road hoggers everywhere....... *shrugs*.....

Tuesday 17 March 2009

emptyyyyyyyyy

since i was at far eastern side of the island, i dropped by stamford tyres changi megamart......... hoping to find a good deal on any interesting accessories.....

yes i understand it was rainy, wet and cool ..... and what did i see..???

haha everyone there was very free......... mechanics were watching black hawk down, cashier was reading newspaper.....

business must be kinda ............. bad??

very very quiet....

tiger prawn

the buzzword today is tiger prawns.....

for all you know, the market price for tiger prawns is dearer than frozen lobster at newton hawker centre....

if i remember correctly,

tiger prawn = $8 /100 gm....

lobster = $6 or $7 / 100 gm.....

the americans who visited newton might have gotten a rude shock but then, they placed an order for 8 tiger prawns right???

they knew the price cos it's displayed prominently........ so what's the problem....???

when i visit newton, i make sure the hawker weigh the seafood and inform me of the total weight.......... fair for everybody.....

credit and cash

my friend said.... cash is tight...

so i replied ....credit is light.....

:)

famine....

an early dinner = hungry in the wee hours.......

yes that's what is happening to me now........... haha

is there anything to eat..?? i could look though the cabinets..... 

but ever since the bak chor mee store closed down, there's no more cheap and good supper places within 5 mins of my home....

too bad

Monday 16 March 2009

having the cake and eating it too........



here's a case of identity crisis ...... 1/4 of the car in a motorcycle lot and 3/4 in car lot.... so which is which...... a car or a bike????

maybe the driver should do a parallel-parking if he/she wished to have it all to himself......

more ouch in time....

'My understanding of typical business practice is that you increase premiums on those with claims, not your good customers.'

quoted from asiaone.com...... surely this is a misunderstanding.......

well most ppl dun understand the business of insurance........ essentially insurance is abour risk-pooling.....

e.g. for health insurance, those healthy "babies" more or less "subsidise" the ones who are making claims.....

therefore your clean driving record does not guarantee a lower insurance premium ahead..... when the insurance companies lose money, they will try to recover it from all the motorists...... those with no claims will face perhaps a 30% bigger bill.......... while those that had accidents will see a WHOPPER....... trust me, it's a WHOPPER.... and upsized too!!

well to sum it up:

if the motoring insurance industry bleeds, you bleed....... 

sounds familiar???? haha

incredible...!!!!!!!!

read today's papers yet????

incredulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! an idiot dashes across a crowded expressway and causes a chain accident which results in a death.....! and the idiot survived!!!!!!!!!!

such anti-social behaviour should be stamped out.... and he should be packed off to jail for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time...

to make it stick, he should be charged for causing death by committing a rash act ..... but if a manslaughter charge can stick, he should get a life sentence.......

my heart goes out to the motorcyclist who died in the accident.... 

amen....

Sunday 15 March 2009

stylo mylo


pic copyright of drake12483

hey i like this aftermarket flap-door........ the finishing is kinda cool.... and very stylo indeed.....

be humble...

"arrogance diminishes wisdom"...... 

wise words indeed....... as they appeared in saturday's the clone wars tv series.....

an eager follower of the clone wars, i think the stars wars franchise has lot to teach us about life, love, friendship and many more.....

especially the tragic life of anakin skywalker.....

CK CK CK



i am thinking of selling this........

brand new and still sitting in the box......

anyone interested?

S$250 will do..........

my razo .....


ok this is my choice...

$51 with installation at autobacs..........

simple and effective....

an improvement.....



down from below, it quality of the parts look pretty promising........ do note the anti-roll bar that comes standard with the car....

anyway if shocks and springs are replaced, handling and comfort will move up a big step...... which is why ppl are willing to spend the money.....

hot waxxxx



at S$188 for 150 grammes, this is even more expensive than SKII............ haha..... would rather u apply this on your car or your face..????

offer stuff.....



something to consider at about S$1900 is the northstar 192 dac mkII............... which is why i went downtown on saturday afternoon.........

you probably know my msb link 3 full nelson/p1000 has served for a longgggg time..... and still is going strong.... but sometimes i just itch for new components....... well only sometimes....

what i like about the 192 is the number of inputs......... one i2s, one aes/ebu, 2 rca and one toslink! and there's both rca and xlr analogue outputs still.............. too bad there's no usb input for computers and music servers..........

in the end, i didnt spend much time listening at the store........ cos the key challenge is a home loan.... only by listening to it in my setup will i be able to make an informed decision......

cheerssssss..........


Saturday 14 March 2009

lower and lower....



saw this on a forum..........

and this is how it looks with a lowering spring kit............... which is a much much cheaper option that a set of coilover suspension........

i like it...... i mean the look...

as for megan coilovers, the "after" effect is also addictive....... as shown below

as usual what's new....

as usual, albert riera is crap........ except for one cross, he has been crap........

too early to rejoice....

championships were never won on pre-season tests......... 

and so when everyone is surprised by the pace of the newest kid on the block, i dare to say, not to worry.....

even ferrari are surprised...... massa seems shocked..... so is alonso......

can ferrari and mclaren continue where they left off last season? who will be the new challengers...???

very soon, we will find out.....

still looking ....



still $498 for a 2-yr plan, i think this is a reasonable choice.............. win mobile 6.1, 2.3 mp camera (no autofocus? duh), gps and tag.......... not too bad....

some might complain about the qvga screen but a phone is still a phone........ what do u think expect? 1920 x 1080? maybe it might happen one day but that day is still ages away......

maybe i should go and see the phone before deciding....

more megan

so the benefit of sleeping early = able to wake up early......... probably i am tuned in to the daily routine and my body clock also responded in the same way....

oh just found out........ from a fren who is in USA that megan racing is more like a budget brand over there.....

maybe tein is the most suitable of all the limited choices out there........

no idea.... coilovers



no idea what is megan racing......... are they big in the USA....???

looks good and delicious..............

dun try to fight..............

too sleepy to resist.... and my eyes are heavy......

i give up........ and i will go to bed....

Friday 13 March 2009

dracula.....

haha earlier at the carpark my friend said........ 

"look at this guy, he's driving a dracula car...."

err....... why dracula???

well cos the car can only be driven after dark........ :P

saved...!

saved by a phone call..........! yes indeed.......

if not for the morning call, i would have overslept and be late for work........

haha thank you....

for i was so tired last night..................... and this morning i couldnt hear my alarm, the radio and also the first phone call........

thank god.....

Thursday 12 March 2009

a sign of the times....... no more pokes...

yes... it's a sign of the times ...

touch screen is NOW..... stylus is bye bye........

so do u still use a stylus..??? or do you prefer using your finger..???

and how about a slide-out keyboard.... isit still necessary??? how often do you use that?? can a on-screen keyboard be as good and as efficient..???

to weed out a keyboard can result in big savings....:)


Wednesday 11 March 2009

big clamps.....



want more power...? yes of cos ....

then how about more stopping power? errrr........... not many ppl would pay attention to this....

let me remind you..... the capacity to brake is as important if not more important than harnessing more power from the engine.....

good brakes save lives............

btw i think the VTTR brakes calipers look very COOL............ and u dun have to pay japanese prices to get this..... 

as for the performance? no idea at all...........

tuesday's snack.



was with a friend and after a quick shopping trip at ubi area, we were famished.... so what else other than to grab a bite......

a ha....... and so at the coffeeshop there was a muslim cooked food store..... coincidentally both of us wanted to try the mee soto........

i think the pic looks ok..... and well it tasted ok...... as in ok....

quite amazed

the moment i saw the scoreline i was dumbfounded................ after all these years, i am still amazed at what liverpool can do on these special european nights... where they surely fear no one....

4 goals against 9-time european champions real madrid is quite awesome.....

i hope they can go on from here.... well it's never too late, i hope ... haha

Tuesday 10 March 2009

something cheaper.....



priced reasonably, as compared with razo, mugen and ralliart, lonza is also a possible choice.......... the problem is, however, how to install these metal pieces.........

i have no faith and confidence in using standard metal flaps to secure these pedals.......... only drilling and screws will do.... for there is no room for errors....

any possibility of these pedals being dislodged.............. gosh, the consequences are too serious to imagine..........

so pls use caution........

plastic knobs.....

other than leather, carbon fibre and metal, what choices do we have.....???

honestly, i never thought of plastic and resin as viable alternatives..... but apparently razo has 2 knobs made of resin........... and blitz has one in plastic resin as well......


so white or black..????



it all depends on you......

Monday 9 March 2009

the body shop sale

from 11 to 14 march.....

at suntec city convention centre, gallery west, level 3.... 11 am to 8 pm.....

if u are a the body shop fan, dun miss it...!!

get out...!

it's bad enough when you have a running nose.... and how about being stucked behind a road hogger.........??? one who just insisted on hogging the fast lane...!!!

SON OF A KUKU BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope you shit in your pants!

Sunday 8 March 2009

only for ladies...??



as you probably know, watch winders are often in wood or leather.... and mostly black, brown and boring.........

but why do only ladies get the cool colours????? and to make things simple for the fairer sex, there are no adjustments or knobs.......... just plug and play to keep your automatic watch wound up....

meanwhile there's nothing to stop us guys, so do something ......... u can buy the one in red....!


before and after .....

now that my place is on the new EVS scheme, it's pretty easy to track the way we use electricity at home....

so this morning when i woke up, the meter was showing 10 cents per hour........




and when i switched the onkyo amplifier on to listen to the radio, it jumped immediately to 32 cents per hour........ haha

such a sucky of power is the onkyo.......... really a beast: physically and in terms of power consumption.....

to make myself feel better, i'd never checked it when the aircon is on...... hehe that WILL really make me feel guilty....

orange or gold...???



after so many years since 2004, my favourite litre bike is still the yamaha r-1.........

hehe but in this case i am not so keen on the colour........

no doubt blue is still the best-looking........... and of cos black is always nice......

new menace....

oh gosh! today i met with another of these species of road menace....

and what did they do....???

well for no good reason, they would crawl and even STOP while on the slope ..... and to be exact, right in the middle of the ramp of HDB multi-story carparks...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for WHAT???? if you are looking out for an empty lot, do it after u go all the way up and not stop near the END..!!!!!!!!!!!

these ppl should be put off the roads permanently....................

no more...

no more 1.99% interest rate.... and no more free 3 years servicing.........

no more no more...!

the time has gone..... but it could come back again......... who knows anyway....


long service....

in these days when upgrading handphones is as common as having supper, who else is still hanging on to legacies ..... one of which is my dopod 838 pro....

perhaps dopod should present me with a long service award........... for demonstrating product longevity haha.....

meanwhile i should also be hunting for a replacement..... i think this great guy cant go on forever....

sooner or later, it's going to konk out....... i do hope it's later though....



a fusion of modernity and tradition .... and we have a handphone by ulysse nardin 

well well if only the phone can be powered by the rotor........ hehe... that will be so refreshing .... a handphone that needs no batteries................ !!

but that also means u gotta move the phone around as you talk...... cos kinetic energy = electrical power haha....

Saturday 7 March 2009

begone

this morning's drive to work was so much better and smoother than weekdays............. i.e. no road hoggers today haha.... as most of these menace are probably not working ....

thank god and begone...!!!

they are certainly one of the BIGGEST irritants on the roads......

Friday 6 March 2009

bar and bar


as a former owner of a alutec alloy strut bar, i am backing it by saying i was extremely satisfied with the look and finish.......

compared with a painted surface, i very much prefer the bare look......... clean and simple....

from the pic, can also tell that their standard has been very well maintained.....

pic copyright of original owner

too muchie

gosh gosh i clocked 12 hours today..........! OUCH!

i reached my workplace at 645 am and left at 640 pm....!!!! 

and i didnt really understand why......

oh come on......... and i need to be back there at 645 am tomorrow...!

what a chore.... :P

errr..... motion motion....

read about something interesting in the papers.........

"a porsche driving instructor could get motion sickness when he drives too fast or drives on curvy roads..........."

oopppsss..... that's not a very good feeling.......

more mugen...

found it!

yes i found the genuine mugen pedals in singapore..... and so a shop in paya ubi sells them at $210....

however was disappointed to find out that they fit only honda cars............ and the pedals do not use a universal mount....

is there any way they can be installed on any 3-pedal car??? forcibly yes but i dun think it will look NICE....

gosh these mugen pedals surely are sexy......

settled in...

slowly but surely i am settling into a routine...............

almost like clockwork, i become soooooooooooo sleepy at close to 2330 hours....

and i should go to bed soon......

so that i can function properly the next morning haha..........

Wednesday 4 March 2009

for grip.....



if not mugen then it must be ralliart.............

in full titanium, these are featherweight parts for the purists......

maybe i should try these......... if i can get them at a good price.....

anyone who is a ralliart member can help ...... ?

quick fix.....

after work i went for a quick-fix shopping as i needed to buy new socks......

not really a difficult choice when 3 pairs are going for S$6.90.........


while browsing at the store i saw a particular design of nike shirts at S$12.90 each............. hmmmm a dri-fit t-shirt at this price is also a steal..... so why not....



what's more there's a singapore flag at the back................. 

very pretty..... too nice to step on them?



these are so pretty............ and also pretty expensive ...

however i caught sight of these at S$130............. are those genuine mugen sports pedal?

hardly believable at this price ... right??

time for a change....

double white lines dun work. period.

we should have islands or kerbs instead..........

that will stop those inconsiderate drivers who cant be bothered by double white lines.....

spot on too

awhile ago i told my friend, the government should place more restrictions on off-peak cars..... and seems like i am not the only one advocating such a move........

paying less than the rest and wishing for more when the rules are open and transparent? doesnt sound too logical.......... 



a LION's pouch.... for a saturday

shopping is always fun.............

and if the hunt is fruitful then it's worth the effort......

for days i've been looking around for a leather pouch .......... one that could fit a car key/transponder.....

somewhere someone said that he managed to find one........ from goldlion that fits perfectly...... and true to the claim, the fit is almost tailor-made.....


after a 20% discount, it went for S$28.............. a pretty good price i think for a piece this well-made..........



haha and the best thing, it doesnt even look like it's from goldlion.............
