how do they do it....??

in the new tucson SUV, hyundai has given it a fresh new 2.0 engine that breathes 166 hp.....!!

this is a pretty amazing figure if one considers that the honda civic 2.0 and mitsubishi lancer EX 2.0 sports only 155 hp.......

so how do they do it......???

i really wonder.....

cover with LV...



if you are the ultimate LV fan, what do u think of covering yourself up with this LV blanket in damier azur while you sleep.....??

haha i hope it feels very good and very luxurious......

More troublesome?

It used to be a case of swop & go when one bought a new handphone ... Just switch the sim card...

But with modern smart phones, a lot more work & steps are required to bring over existing memory & information: Backup & sync

So troublesome...

Turbo of cos

Christopher Tan of the straits times wrote that the new porsche 911 turbo has an equivalent 0-100 timing of better endowed ferrari & lamborghini cars...

However he failed to include the fact that the cars from italy are naturally-aspirated while the german car is force-fed... Between the 2 of cos there is a difference...

Turbo = more power...

Immediate switch

Haha given the very first opportunity, I had no trouble keeping late nights again... In fact I had a good nap after work which enabled me to stay awake... So I can see the sunrise in a short while...

No more discounts

Received the following from esprit:

Dear Member, your Esprit Club Card has expired on 31 Dec 09.To qualify as member for a year, simply spend $150nett in a single receipt. We hope to see you soon!

I think that's easier to achieve than to accumulate $600 of spending every year just to renew the membership..

From 1988

Tonight's listening: the 2 faces of kylie minogue.. 1 from 1988, her debut album... And then from 2008...

Can you spot the differences...??

Get smart...

It's forever a battle of wits between the bombers & the men who try to stop them... Day & night 24 / 7...

Explosives used to be bulky & easy to detect... & then it became smaller, lighter & more powerful e.g. Plastic explosives...

Now faced with high tech alternatives like liquid explosive, the reality is stark & serious... Almost impossible to detect, the job to catch the bad guys who use these devices is getting tougher...

So flying continues to be a risky business & till now there are still no easy ways to catch the bad guys... Sigh & amen...
