Coincidental?

Sometimes one cannot help but have to give due respect to certain beliefs.....

When things happen usually at a certain time of the year, it gives everyone a chill down the spine...

Fury!!

Certain things happened along the way and made me very unhappy....

1. Service centre forgot to reset the service reminder .... Well that's a minor issue & I can live with that...

2. They informed me that the screw / bolt securing the front brake hose to the suspension is missing..... At first I thought they had done something to secure it temporarily but as I was driving to YB to check the suspension, the rubbing sound became very obvious and louder...

I found out they did nothing at all!! The friction had caused part of the hose to be worn off!!!

Fortunately I didn't have to travel half the island to get to YB.... If not I could have been in trouble.....

Now i didn't have any problem before today so I am pretty sure the service guy lost the bolt ..... And left me for dead....

Damn!!! Thank goodness the brake hose is ok.....

That's really bad service!!! I can't imagine a simple job that involves renewing brake fluid can cause so much trouble....!!

Damn!!

Wait

Why am I still here?

I didn't realise that a 30k service is so "complicated"?

Today is 30,000 km servicing day......

Brains stopped?

Sometimes I dunno how the brains at AGC work..... Surely they have the brightest minds working there but so far they have been very unconvincing....

How can any one with a brain state in court that a contact between a car and a motorcycle at speed is "slight" and not serious...?????!!!!

And whoever decided not to charge the car driver for dangerous driving should have his brain examined.....

Fortunately the CJ is wise to allow the appeal....

Of cos to punch a person, even when provoked, is wrong.... But the severity of provocation must be taken into account....

Sheesshhhhh.....

plug the holes...


nightspots are giving out earplugs............. ?????????

why not just impose a volume limit for such venues.............

and forget about the plugs.....

i remember these little foam pieces are more useful in other instances......

e.g.

a.        long distance riding....

b.        live firing

c.        when your bunk mates snore like harley-davidsons.....

yes, very very effective for c.......

compromise...........


think about it.....

how does one get into the bus in double-quick time while minimising risks and danger to hostages?

blow the windscreen and windows? too dangerous................. as the explosion will send shredded glass flying at high speed in all directions........

blow the access doors? similar risks are involved as well......

shoot the window glass? one will never know where the bullet will land........

in the end, sledgehammers were used..... but as all can see, they were kinda ineffective against tempered glass......... too much time and effort was needed to smash their way through

perhaps they could have targeted the emergency escape panel ..... usually made of a less durable material, they are meant to break easily to allow escape........

perhaps they could have used ladders to help SWAT members gain access into the bus............

perhaps the ops should have been conducted in darkness by cutting off all power.....

well talk is cheap and it always easier to say things on hindsight....

god bless the souls of those who perished......
