My Next Car Is...

I have such strong feelings for this car, much so I would probably have it as my next car.

But I do have to read a lot in forums or discussion areas before really jumping ship.

As I seem to read more and more about it, it seems like a friendly car. And quite cheap, as it is below market price, normal for a Korean brand.

It seems large enough for me and my family I think.

Don't be shocked or anything. It's just a normal car.

Yup, the first generation Kia Optima.

Although I might settle for a Perodua Kelisa (which looks so much like a Mini), since my wife's Wira works just fine all these years.

Kids Today

Ever since he's back from his Aunt's wedding, Muzaffar kept asking about it.

He kept pestering us to buy it.

I am just imagining that he be contented with Windows based PC games. But have yet to intro it still.

Now he wants it as present for his 7th birthday.

Hmmm...

Bus Again

After what seemed like forever, I boarded a direct bus from Dengkil straight to KL today.

I guess the last time I took the bus was probably in July. And that's already an on-off thing, irregular.

Nothing eventful happened. Less jam too. School holidays and tomorrow's public holiday helped too today.

Come next month, probably need to do something on STELLAR's road tax. I need to be mobile still, even while regularly car-pooling.

The Kirov Class Battlecruiser

One of the greatest ship that ever exist today, has to be this one called the Kirov class battlecruiser from the Cold War era.

Currently only one is operating. But news are, they are going to reactivate the rest (I know there are a total of four, but I think I found five?)

It's so important, that the Americans reactivated their formidable-but-near-obsolete Iowa class battleship. And these ships are the best the Americans have during the Cold War.

Closer To Your Heart

I probably have played this song a hundred times already this week.

FM sure wrote great tunes. Too bad they are not well-promoted as fellow Brit Def Leppard.

I can only write the chorus, there is no lyrics for such an old and unpopular B-sides-only song...


"Tell me what it takes girl
Help me to get closer
To your heart..."


I can never get enough of this song.

Picky Eater

I am a picky eater.

I have always been.

I don't have any memory of eating durian, though I can remember eating eggs indirectly, as recently me being 10 years old. In the form of French toast.

And I remember not liking eggs as recently as 11, when I ordered fried noodles, "without eggs" being added.

I remember eating durian ice cream, and not liking its taste. That's probably the closest that I have ever eaten a durian.

But me being picky has been inherited. Both my son are picky eaters. Though the eldest probably is the pickiest. But I'll probably tell you about that later.

I Play

I currently looped only these few songs.

Thought I'd Died And Gone To Heaven
Stand Up, Kick Love Into Motion
Home Is Where The Heart Is
Don't Shoot Shotgun

Just find out yourself who the artists might be.

No Multitasking Today

Planned to go to work as well as send my car for repairs, especially with regards to the clutch.

But I only managed to do the latter today.

Tomorrow, work extra hours, I intend.

By the way, the repairs they managed to do, were to overhaul the clutch hydraulic system, the brake pump, replace the pedals and swap the starter motor.

From 1pm to nearly 8pm, the time they spent.

Phewww...

Comparo Ep1

Been a while since I last updated something.

So I'll re-start the blogging fever again, by just making a comparison between two cars.

This will be the comparison between Warrior and Stellar's top gear speed at certain rpm.

At 1000rpm, Warrior = 30kph, Stellar = 28kph

At 2000rpm, Warrior = 60kph, Stellar = 56kph

3000, 90, 84

4000, 120, 112

5000, 150, 140

RPMs of 6000 and above are purely theoretical. Haven't reached those speeds.

6000, 180, 168

7000, 210, 196

8000, you wishhh...

That's all folks..

BZ

BZ lately...

It's the project I'm part of that is to blame.

Later guys...
