Bored with a place to go...

Got bored last night. After setting out with a mate to find a suitable present for another mate who will be having his kenduri kahwin next week at his house(he got married this recent Friday. Congrats Maru!), i tried to kill some time at our favourite lepak spot. Funnily enough, we all (another mate joined us) opened the topic of "What to do?".
In the end, after shoving some typical ideas aside, we agreed to go on a fun-drive. Where? Genting Highlands, a personal favourite drive. On Aoi-chan, all i can say is that the new rims are really good. It helped me in the corners as i can now adjust the steering angle more correctly due to the way that the suspension now modulates without having to crash all of the time (very technical... i'm sure some of you doesn't understand a single word). Anyhow, the absense of that front lip spoiler does crate a tremendous difference. Even the mates can tell that the car understeers more in the faster corners and the front bobs quite easily.
As for the place, well, it is Genting we're talking about here. And of course it was cold. Especially when there's the killer combination of wind and thick fog. The visibility was so poor that at one point, i can't even read the number plate of a car... about 5meters in front of me. One advice though: Don't go there without thick clothing, especially in last night's condition. Not that i can't bear it though~~~
So, here are some pics we took at Genting. Unfortunately, the pda's camera was so useless at night, i can only manage to take pics at illumiated places, like the First World Hotel.

Enjoy!

The sticker that was on the box of the present. We couldn't leave it there before it was wrapped, couldn't we?


First World Hotel... you can see the thick fog even from here.

... and the other mate; Amir.



Info counter at First World Hotel. The dialog:

bvc100: "Excuse me. Can i have you guys close the roads so that i can go down faster without the other slower drivers obstructing me?"

person behind counter: "??????"

Two weeks, all rolled into one... post

And that's the truth. Nope, i'm not dead yet so bwahaha to all of you who expected something bad had happenned to me.
Anyhow, the fact that not a lot of thing happenned these past weeks kinda made me fumbled. What to post? If there's no material to post, can i at least make a lite update?Well... truth to be told, there were some good ones last week. But for the love of God, i did not record the event aka i was stupid enough not to capture the event with my pda's camera... silly me~
Onwards and upwards, let's recap some of the more decent and recent occurences. First of all, it seems that i'm now officially hooked to bowling. Seems that my game have improved quite dramatically with the new custom ball from the last post. There's a pic below showing one of my best scores so far (but the rest... let's just say it's inconsistent).
Oh yeah, bfore i forget, a warm welcome please to our 4th and last member of the apartment, mr Syazwan of Auto Eng IIUM aka Soldier Boy to some of the WPS people. He joined us last week and had provided me with TG's latest season... in full. So, a round of applause please~ *Clap3*
Err... what else? Oh! Last week's stuff. Had a one week training on using CATIA V5 at PROTON. The training was fun, and the food was great. Too bad it was quite short. The lecturer said that it should've been extended to cover the topics in depth. I quite agree to that.
Apart from the training, i joined the SAVOC's TT on Friday night, had a game or two of bowling with them and went for a late night nasi lemak. On the way back, i met with 3 accidents (which i think 2 of it were fatal) that was not reported in the next day's newspaper. Strange huh? The car's involved? The two fatal ones (separate incidents, single vehicle accident) were a Kia Sportage (the new one) and a Prod Kelisa which turned turtle... the othe one was a Honda CRX.
Right. i think that's sufficient. Errr.... hope to have my camera primed and ready for next week. Or not, i'll be updating this... later.

Some of the members of savoc.net. We played 2 games at Sunway Pyramid's bowling alley. My group was 2nd best (Thanks in part to batterisya, bob and ultra)


One of my best score so far (top one). Seemed that i really needed that new ball~
