Can't Wait

Can't wait for my baby!

It should be around 40 days to the predicted delivery. I actually can't wait any longer. But bearing in mind that most babies born in the eighth month do not survive, I just need to hold on a bit more time.

So what is it for today? Nothing much actually. Read more about all those extra instruments for a car, and surfed a bit for aftermarket rims. Maybe I should get me some new rims in a year's time. Now to worry about Raya expenditures and renewal of our car's road tax and insurance. Too much huh? Wait till the baby comes out, then it's double the burden, but then it's double the fun too!

I'm so hoping that a month's bonus will be granted, so I can spend a few dolls on SYCLONE the Mini.

Tuesday and Wednesday, got stomach pain. Must be the food I ate. Especially the shrimp!

Two

My second blog today.

I could actually crimp. It's not that hard. I guess it's as good as most other crimps that my company's contractor did. Ya only need a good steady pliers, and some wire to practise on.

I bought a spark plug socket (to screw out spark plugs it is!) and a wire stripper. I guess i'll be busy before this raya fiddling with my Mini!

Some surfing brought me to an Autometer website, while trying to find out about vacuum gauge, and others including volt gauge, tacho gauge, ampere gauge and oil pressure gauge. Wow! It seems like automotive heaven is here on earth, albeit with a heavy price!

Last week, from 10 to 14 November 2003, went to Lumut for the second ship's sea trial. Sea trial was ok, albeit several glitches. The heavy glitch being the whole ship steering system failing while we are on collision course with Pangkor Island! My colleague did pull an imaginary handbrake, thinking it's just like a car emergency.

Ok, gotta blog off.

First Time

Elo there,

This is my first time writing in a blog, Thus bear with me alrite..!

Usually there's nothing much to write in a day to day basis. I'm working, driving back home, some chatting, working, bbsing, yahooing, msning, listening to oldschool rock, some air drumming (it's a habit!) and maybe some websurfing.

Today, arrived at office late, as I'll be going to Lumut for site works. As soon as I arrived, got a call from my wife telling me about the pre-natal checkup. My baby seems furious at what the nurse's doing, as she says. Grateful to hear that. The last checkup looks painful to say the least, to baby. So today baby fought back. Hope baby's healthy and normal.

The original SMS of the trip to site told me of the departure at 10, and then a change to 2pm. Project Manager needs to see Exec Chairman first.

Assigned I became a receptionist for two hours.

I think for all the duration of my trip with the ERL and the LRT, I've been singing this sole song in my hum, "Wheel In The Sky" by Journey, everytime the same verse and the same chorus, and the same drums. Can't seem to change to another, which I tried. It's today's habit I guess.

I'm still skeptical about my abilities to crimp wires. I read all about it on the net last night. It seems pretty difficult, and in my opinion, needs an academic slot of its own. And so does soldering, which I always do improperly. It needs a curriculum of its own.

I guess I should learn to weld too. My Mini seems to like an owner who have all these skills. And maybe some engine working, or suspension working, or all those techie stuffs that I can only imagine of doing right now. Mind you, he's a 29 years old Mini Clubman!
