What chilli crab?

So what if your chilli crab is well-known....

If it's so expensive that most people cannot afford and keep the customers paying and paying, I'd rather not try your WELL-KNOWN chilli crab...

Where are the bubbles 2?

It's been confirmed.

In 2 days the tyre pressure on the suspect has dropped from 34 to 28 PSI.....!!

If that's a fact why didn't the bubbles show up when we dunked the tyre and wheel into the trough of water????

It's still a mystery.....

appreciating


while browsing the classified section in today's paper, i came across an interesting proposition: someone is looking to sell a 3 year-old Lancer EX 1.5 at $56,800......???!!!!

is there something wrong..???? is the car worth that much now? if that's the case, maybe i could sell my car for $70,000..!!

unfortunately it's now a sell high and buy high situation........ any replacement i am getting will kill off my gain from the sale..... and i'll be back at square one....

reference: a civic FD2R costs $135,000 while the evo x and STi are out of reach......

when i bought my car 2 years ago, a FD2R was about $89,000...... how the world has changed in 24 months.......... OUCH..!!

on hindsight maybe i should have gone for a FD2R...
 

fun flat


a few chaps wrote to the papers to complain about cyclists who blatantly flout traffic rules i.e. riding against the flow of traffic, riding handsfree etc...

how i wish i can run over them when they act as if they are kings of the road....

run over them and run them FLAT.... PIAK.!! PIAK..!!!
 

looking out....


found in classified jobs: BBDC is recruiting driving instructors at S$1730 excluding OT......

that's too much of a pay cut to take even though i think i can be an instructor........

OUCH.....

Where are the bubbles?

Since I'd promised myself to get it done, I decided to drop by the tyre shop to fix the leak.....

However try as they might they could not find a leak at all.. That's even after dunking the tyre in a barrel of water ...

Ok something is not right .... So what's wrong?

colours from TOD'S



if you compare these with the one from BALLY, i kinda still prefer TOD'S.......

maybe it's the BRAND

maybe it's the SHAPE

maybe it's the SOLES

too bad they are not very lasting in the outdoor environment....... by looking at the soles, i'm sure the BALLY will outlast a pair of TOD'S anytime...

orange.... BALLY


need to brighten up your gloomy day...????

this pair of magnificent-looking moccasin shoes is PPuurrfeccttttt for a dress-down day.....

i love ORANGE.....

Patch work

Something is wrong somewhere ...

Even though I didn't remember picking up a puncture, one of the tyres is losing pressure faster than the rest...

I need a patch job.... But only from the inside....

Check the size

The car remote uses model 2032 3v batteries ...

Remember to check before you buy...

Stop fast

Saw a S class hurling fast towards a red-light junction....

And it was brought to a stand still rather quickly without much fanfare ....

Stout brakes the car must have....

Went over a big porthole on a dimly lit street...... And it was the loudest bang I've heard this year....

So far the wheels and tyres look OK.... everything else look OK...

Let's hope all is OK

Sideways

Since the shun mook guys recommend that electronics not be placed parallel to each other side by side, I decided to move the amps a few degrees to each side ....

Listen again

It may be 30 years for ROCK RECORDS..... and it is quite timely to interview the MD for Singapore ....

I was wondering if any of their people listen to their albums from the early years....

Cos they SUCK BIG TIME!!!!!

Too much reverb, too bright, too forward, too much sibilance.....

All making my ears bleed....

Fortunately they have come a long way to put things right....

Kicked off tonight's session with Joan Baez.....

Trapped ...

Looks like I have a big problem at hand trying to get out of my sleep cycle.....

How about something like this ..???

Sleep from 0400 to 0600....

Nap from 1300 to 1330.....

Nap from 2000 to 2230..... And repeat

No wonder I am so tired.... Cos I dun get to sleep from 0500 to 1300 on weekdays ..!!!

Thicker than me?

So why did they make the rotor hat so thick??????

I was still searching in vain for the answer until someone said the manufacturer did it that way to "work" as a spacer so that more wheels can fit the kit without using additional spacer....

Yeah maybe.... But it's still a crap idea...

Quick business

Starhub acts fast....

Even before the max online contract expires in April 2011, they have called us to offer a new contract....

At least they know how to do business .....

Not like m1 the goondu..... I think they are more keen to cut off existing customers ......

Chey ....

looks dirty from the rigours of daily motoring...

however they are worth every penny if you need improved road-holding and a good 15 to 20 cm drop ....

with the proliferation in these Taiwanese products at such a price bracket, the Japanese have been facing a tough time ......

for the price-conscious motorists, every dollar counts........

Brake clock

I love clocks and I love brakes...

So nice to have a BBK for a clock...

Upcoming on 10 Feb 2011 is the Tangs 12% rebate day.... Are you going to grab something on that day???

annual tax...

this month's big outlay....

insurance $1043.50...

road tax $618.50 (including radio licence).....

OUCH...!!

Ring ring 2



since there's no standard hub ring / spigot ring to solve my problem, a spacer with stock hub width might do the trick....

will it? at what cost?

a serious DOCK



pretenders have come and gone ...... and NOW here's the new KING of the iPod DOCKS....

so far none has come with a AES/EBU digital output (my favourite digital interface).... even though it conforms to da S/PDIF format, using this connection eliminates da issue with non standard 75 ohms connectors and plugs.....

bravo to Cambridge audio for introducing the little beast that even accommodates an iPad...

look back....

during the festive season, many people are busy with merry-making by indulging in food and drinks, mingling with family and friends....

hey dun forget it also presents the perfect opportunity to reflect on one's journey in life...... if given the chance to live your life all over again, would you still end up the same way...????

maybe.... or maybe not.....

cos not everything in life is what i had wished for......

Late bloom

After a few good months all is done....

Bigger bite

Let's see if these are going to BITE HARD....

More to go

The federal tyres have quite awhile to go.....

But I am not happy about its wet performance .....

1 step ahead

Almost all toilets in petrol stations are scarily wet and slimy ....

Caltex is still da best in this area.... It's fortunate they pay attention to this little but important aspect of customer service....

What are the rest thinking of...??? Might as well let people pee in the open forest....
