Here we go again, same shit, different year.
2008-03-02 14:18:00 I was m.i.a for exactly 2 months. It doesn?t really matter. A few people got pwned as promised and more to come as the time goes.General Election is around the corner and for the second time in a row, I still won?t cast my vote. I?m going to stay at home screening the progress and waiting for the result to be revealed at night. Unlike other excited youngsters who are eligible to vote for the first time and which some of them really boast to the masses on which side they?re going to vote, this G.E. won?t even float my boat, really. I mean, who cares if you?re already know who?s going to win anyway? This goes without saying but if this statement is to be heard by those so called liberalist, most likely they?re going to say typical school textbook stuff that goes like this:?It?s the kind of people like you who don?t contribute anything to the country.??It?s the kind of people like you who easily forget about our ancestors who fought for the independence??It?s the kind of people like yo...

2008?s 1st pwn victim: Gunung Stong, Kelantan
2008-02-03 15:28:00 The pwnage lasted for 4 days. There were 30 of us, mostly AKE employees whom had enough of workloads and hunger for relief which leads to this pwnage activity.Thursday, January 31st.It?s actually a normal working day. I didn?t apply for a leave unlike most of us do as they have to take a good rest and be prepared for the trip. A L.A.M.E excuse I would say. I myself went to work that day except I wore proper hiking attire complete with backpack full of camping equipments. All set to go! The rendezvous point was at KL Sentral as we were gonna catch a train to Dabong, Kelantan at 2030. At exactly 1700, Fazrin, Zaid and myself left the office and headed to KLCC?s Putra LRT. As we walk through Suria KLCC, shoppers and bystanders looked at us like we are some sort of freak. Could be, for we were loafing around shopping complex with ten-fold kilo bagpack on the back. Zaid was ought to be blamed for this because he wore complete army camouflage outfit with 2 lines of ink smudged at each sid... More About: Victim , 2008

There will be a judgment day whereby all of our practice in the previous world, all the good deeds and all the sins we had committed will be reviewed. If the good deeds weigh more than the sins, the person will go to heaven and if it?s the other way round, that person will be thrown to hell, but for good? No. There will be some executions...

Road Trippin'
2007-12-11 13:29:00 Most modern cars are equipped with a trip computer which records traveled distance, displaying fuel consumption (both average and real time) and measuring tire inflation rate (very rare perhaps).Having said that, the most interesting feature is the fuel consumption display. The popular measuring units are MPG (miles per gallon) or KPL (kilometers per liter). For some drivers whom are really concern about their fuel consumption, this is quite a tool that benefits them. As accurate it can be, I think the man behind this idea forgot to put another measuring unit for this feature which is:Current fuel pricing per KilometerAs fuel price is sky-rocketing at each corner of the world, this measuring unit is surely effective as it will psychologically affect drivers mind. It?s simply because, even though 9km/liter is being shown at the trip computer everyday, they will get used to it and won?t bother about it. Let say RM0.10/km is being displayed and it climbs to RM0.20/km or even more as th... More About: Road

2007-11-25 11:52:00 After my mechanic lifted up the engine head, he observed that 4 of 16 valves were bent. Those four exhaust valves were from cylinder one and two. Two valves per cylinder respectively. There?s a slight scratch on the surface of piston 1 which is not really a problem. So, I don?t need to replace the piston but, prior to what happened to my car. I decided to do more instead of repairing it.a) Gates Racing Timing Belt ? I bought this almost a year ago with a ridiculously cheap price at RM150. Street price could reach around RM400-500. Planned to use it once I converted to 1.8 turbo motor from Mitsubishi Lancer GSR (lol how I wish) but due to current circumstances, I got no choice but to use this instead.b) 0.5mm Metal Head Gasket ? I?m going to use this instead of buying another paper based head gasket. It can be re-use just in case I need to lift the head again and it also it?s ability to produce higher compression is an add-on point. RM150 will be burnt for that.c) 1.6 Mitsubishi SOHC...

For some, it is something that?s inevitable but for others, they thought it 's their bad luck which will happens again in a matter of time that they won?t know.In this case, it happens to me. Exactly the same day, last year, my car was broken into by bunch of thieves. Half of the fault was contributed by me, maybe. I parked my car on a pathway between terrace houses to avoid being charged at the proper parking spot at my office. Most people do that by the way. Perhaps my car has been marked by them because I was using the same spot for the past 6 months when I started to work over there.The scene was fast and I hated to say that it could be done by professionals.

Ask! Ask! Ask!
2007-11-22 13:14:00 A plague that has been happening to Malay since years ago. I don?t think it is uncalled for, to make an assumption that this been happening since the day 1 of existence of Malay? Take for instance, school or uni days. Most Malay students are afraid to ask question. The reason why is that the Malay themselve that cause it.Peers.They?re afraid if their colleagues think that they are stupid by asking a question which others might already knew the answer and asking such rhetorical question might sounds lame. So one will keep quiet and pretend to understand even though there are a lot to ask. It?s better to question and feel embarrassed at first than not-knowing at all.Be the one to ask question, you will surely benefits yourself and even your peers if they have the same habit of afraid to ask question.

New Season of Top Gear
2007-10-11 18:46:00 The long awaited new season (10) has been released last weekend in the UK telly and widely spread on the internet for (ahem) downloads on the very next day. Man, that? was fast.

The previous season only has 6 episode plus 2 extras, The Top of The Pops and The Polar Challenge. Since then, it wasn?t clear whether BBC is going to make a new series because there were lots of rumors saying that Top Gear will come to an end due to protest of villagers that lives nearby with an excuse of noise pollution (lol) and the landowner who wants to take back the land where the studio and the test track reside because they want to build a residential housing area. Obviously, none of that becomes reality and that?s quite a relief for fans.The show started with Clarkson usual shout ?We?re back? followed by greetings by long-haired Hammond that appeared hi...

Even though it?s made from the highest quality material known to men and combined with the most advanced manufacturing technique that?s available, made sooner or later, it will break.Technology used in manufacturing and production is actually capable to make products that have a long lifespan. But why in the name of Homer Simpson?s gut that the stuff breaks just ONE day after 1 year warranty ends? So many people experienced this problem. So, it?s not a coincidence, right?Why?Because it?s engineered TO BREAK after sometime.

The best of time? is NOW!
2007-09-14 12:26:00 It?s the most common moment that happens in our every day?s lives but we normally unaware about it. Let us just say when we?re doing any activity where at some point may lead us into boredom; we will simply stop and continue with something else that?s more interesting. The problem is we didn?t even have a chance to discover on how enjoyable the previous activity was and we just ignored it for good. After sometime, day, months, or maybe years, the aborted activity could happen to someone else and he may find it really interesting and you realize the same thing could happen to you. The action you took in the past may flashes before your eyes and you regret for what you did.Back in 4 years of university life, I got a few male/female friends whom were anti-social.

In pursuit of great handling and comfy ride.
2007-09-12 17:35:00 It began back in 2002, just a mere 2 months after I got my car. As an ultra n00b back then, I was totally blind on how suspension works. Until one day, I bought a copy of Hypertune (local car tuning magazine) and saw an advertisement inside entitled Hotbits Adjustable Suspension. No idea of what it is, I asked my housemate whom was quite knowledgeable about cars at that time, to explain. It?s a combination of shocks absorbers and springs to absorb almost all sorts of bumps and uneven surface on the road whereby the springs assists the shock by withstand the car weight. It has the ability to rise the ride height up and down as it has 2 rings overlapping with each other, fixed to the threaded shocks body. It can be moved to a specific position so you can have your desired ride height is quite handy at certain extent.For a normal car, built for the masses, it has to be balanced to both comfort and handling.
