Warmed Up Way Too Much

Sometimes you stepped in a bus that has a faulty airconditioning.

I have for several times.

I feel like suing the bus company. (read: RapidKL)

Almost everytime, I would end up having runny nose the day after. It's that hot.

We are paying for airconditioned bus. So maintain them!


PS: Why are we, the customers, always seem to be on the losing side?

All Guns Blazing

Went to Defence Service Asia Exhibition at APAC Subang today.

I am not really sure of what to watch or try. And then come the guns section.

Ahha, try out the guns! My heart told me. So I did.

The first section wasn't so impressive, but in Hall A, is where all the gun-owner wannabees are around.

Of all the guns manufacturer, I find Steyr, Glock and Smith & Wesson booths as having the best range of weapons, especially the third. They have revolvers! Meanwhile, the many Turkish manufacturers have the most number of weapons displayed, including shotgun and pumpguns.

And all are holdable! Nyum-nyum!

And I guess I can acquaint myself with the weapons quite well too. I guess given any of these weapon, I can easily use it.

By the way, actually shooting it is something different altogether. That needs practice, which I have not had at all yet.

That day was 3 hours well spent. I hope to try out more weapons next year.


PS: If only I can get my hands on one of those Glocks...
PS2: Got a new, lighter drum sticks and a sticks bag as well.

Lost Impetus

After the two weeks absence of the Internet in the office, finally it is up again.

I've been blogging offline since then. But it's not the same.

I'm still searching for the long lost impetus.

  • More time for my family
  • More money for my savings
  • More hobby for my escapade
  • More friends to keep in touch and care
  • More time for my music
  • More ways of making ends meet
  • More selflessness in dealing with different people

Nobody Home

My love will head to Kelantan today morning, for work. I suppose she'll be there until Friday.

I'm on standby too, for PGB Kerteh. So we agreed on sending Muzaffar to Seremban.

Gonna miss both of them!

Parental Discretion Advised

I have seen an article on mixing pure acetone in your car petrol for gas mileage.

It seems that, when 3 ounces (90 ml) is added to 10 American Gallon of petrol, the savings can mean almost 20 to 30 percent.

I'm still contemplating whether to really do this.

Now, to find 1 liter of pure acetone, and a durable-enough portable burette.


PS: Nope, I won't leave my RapidKL pass anytime soon, regardless of whether this works or not.
