The Detour

Went on a small detour to Pinggiran Putra last night, at the advice of dear lover.

Actually we went to see several unoccupied houses at Jalan Pinggiran Putra 3.

And my God, the non-built up land of some houses are considerably huge!

Imagine, a small size single-storey semi-detached house, with extra land of 150 percent.

Some have 200 percent extra land.

One of the houses even got a "guard dog", who immediately ran away from us. Lucky!

Only a few are cleared enough of all the tall grass, but most are having them, so we cannot really budget the land available. Only shows how long they have been built, with no occupants.

We already imagined the several cars we own or will own to fit in the vast amount of land.

A Mini. Or maybe two.

A Wira.

An X-Trail.

A Ferrari F50.

A .....

My wife imagined having a small theme park for our kids.

And I imagined a small shack for my drum set. Arrrghh I got pinched!

It costs around 250k or more, so I don't know whether to commit one way or the other...

Truck Woes

Driving a truck has made me appreciate cars more.
  • Cars are more economical.
  • Cars absorbs bumps better.
  • Cars brake and handles better.
  • Cars are easier to park and manoeuvre around tight spaces.
I wouldn't trade my STELLAR for anything twice as big, like the Mits Storm I drove to Johor today.

And I sure will try hard to keep the Wira too.

At least I feel lower, or should I say, more down-to-earth?

STELLAR Fever

I am just fresh off the trip to Tanjung Pengelih, Johor Bahru. The warship my company maintained was stuck there, and the system needs damage rectifications.

The car we drove broke down again, and again.

All this made me remember STELLAR.

It's been two months since I last drove him.

I hope come next week, he's finished. I mean, fully ready to drive.

I miss him and his antics.

Bling Bling STELLAR

More and more rain come pouring down into KL.

And what most people should own is?

An SUV.

And a tall SUV at that.

We need things like, the Mits Airtrek and the Nissan X-Trail.

And you know what, I like the looks of the X-Trail. But the price is way out of my league.

That gives me an idea though. Put hydraulics into STELLAR so it can be raised higher.

Then I can endure the torrents called in Malay as "Air Melintas Di Jalan Raya"

So, the next thing, is to contact the Thai people who pimped their pickup trucks with the dancing-truck hydraulics.

Dream on, says Aerosmith...

Ih ih ih.

Mountain Schmountain Turtle Schmurtle

Just bought a Schwin bike.

Somehow I always knew this is not an original Schwin. It's too cheap at 300rm.

Nevertheless, I am gonna ride it anyway.

And the ride from Alamanda to P16 is tiring. Or is it just me, being absent from biking since 1995?

I knew I must get back into shape. Round is indeed a shape, so count that one out.

Got The Sickness

I rarely got time to blog nowadays.

Sometimes, when I got the time, and then I don't feel like writing.

Or is it because I hate writing? I don't know.

I know I love typing. But maybe I just need the pusher mood.

It's a bit hectic at the office, and the site travel sickens me.

But life has to go on.

Besides, the claims on manpower and lodging makes it all worth it.

Nyum nyum!

The Leak Needs A Flow Meter

I just got back from Kelantan.

The car assigned for us broke down big time. The travelling from site to KL saw us treating the car with umptenth liters of water, translating to more than ten stops to fill and refill the radiator.

The culprit? The waterpump. It leaks like a medium opened water tap.

I got so sick. I have to rest now.

Tat Taaa..

Dealing With It

I have always wondered why, American movies have so much gunfire in them?

Is it because they rely so much on firepower as a show of strength?

Is it because they feel more macho with each bullet, emitted in a rapid-fire fashion?

I always believe, the least amount of bullet dispensed, the better the effect.

Personally, single-shot kill from a revolver seems like the more effective way of using guns.

And it have the more classic feel to it. Does that remind you of a certain "Point Fifty Caliber" line in movies?

It's the skill that counts anyway.

Seat Sickness

Lately I felt some rather sharp pain somewhere while sitting on the awfully hard plastic chair of the RapidKL bus.

And it made me miss driving my Mini so dearly.

Only thing is, STELLAR was still in the ICU, and it's nearly two months already.

And Pak Syed just opened shop after his long Raya holiday, last night.

I Can't Decide..

I am being offered a classic Mini Cooper S, in exchange to my Clubman.

It almost seem like a dream come true.

Should first meet up with the offerer.

Now to decide.

Decisions, decisions.....
