'tis a crazy, crazy world

It really is a crazy world out there. As Pakya once said; "Crazier than ever...", though that has nothing to do with this.

Why crazy? Last week, had a quick run to Aziim's for my dosage of anime update. As laptops usually do, the battery went flat really2 fast. Had to hook it up to the electrical point, only to find that i've left one part of the power cable/adapter system at home. bvc100-0, Stupidity-1.

Next, in 4 weeks time (this was supposed to be blogged in last week, but the extra week proved to be... painful) after changing Aoi-chan's rims, i found another 3 cars having the exact same rim. One which i don't mind (a Proton Waja/Impian), and two which i would rather burn (a stupid Prod Myvi and a stupidly customized Kelisa, pic below). All of which i saw very2 close to my workplace. Thankfully we don't work at the same place, or someone will be walking home (2 cars burnt, and one with it's wheels missing) the score now is bvc100-0, Stupidity-2, not good

And i thought that was the end of this craziness. Had a late nite movie outing with Soldierboy on Friday night. Thankfully the movie was more than acceptable (the movie itself was crazy, forgot the title though). On the way to get the car in the basement car park, we found that the Sunway Pyramid structure is supported by thin air. Proof? See pic below, you'll get what i mean. If the collapse of Sunway Pyramid is in the news tomorrow, you'll know what caused it already. And if that did happen, then the score would be, by default, bvc100-0, Stupidity-Infinity
Now that's crazy~

Merz? What Merz (red circle). It's no wonder we can't see a Merc-Benz near the shop...

One of the culprit (culprit???), that yellow Kelisa there...

Oh? What's this? It's not thin air... it's a piece of plywood that's supporting the structure... now THAT's a relief (not).

One stupid way of getting into an accident, blank-off your indicators. Usually people only smoke the lights to make the car look sporty, but this one had it covered... with stickers.

Two for the album... The two artworks at the back is made on a super-size drawing paper i found from my schooldays. The one in-front is done on a standard A4 sized paper... Wait, the scanner can only scan up to A4 size... Nooooooo!!! Whotta waste!

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.


One of the mate who followed; Arul...


... 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: "??????"

bvc100 power up!

Yessss!!!
I got my first paycheck yesterday. Can you smeeeellllll... what the paycheck, smells like.
So, what to do eh? Har3. Most of you would be thinking: This guy is sure gonna spend it on buying another figurine/anime stuff and blow the rest at the arcades. But no.
I've decided to help myself to some less useful but more meaningful things to commemorate the first paycheck:
1. Treat my family to dinner
2. Give some pocket money to my parents and lil' sis.
3. Get myself a brand spanking new bowling ball
4. Replace Aoi-chan's rims

Truth to be told, no 3 and 4 was a bit of a nutter, but like i said, more meaningful. The fact that i'll be playing bowling more often than before made me treat myself to a personal ball. Mind you, it does make a whole lot of difference to the game. The feel of the ball is just superb.
Speaking of superb, check out Aoi-chan's new rims~ Cool huh? Thanks in part to Mr. Gustav of savoc.net for assisting me in choosing and buying the rims. Now Aoi-chan looks meaner than ever (damn i have to get that front lip spoiler back!).

Righto. Since i'm tired and nothing much had happened in the past 7 days, this will be the only post for the week. Expect more update next week. Tatata~ Wahahahaha~~~


So many to chose from... so little time and budget

Out with the old...

In with the new

An artwork i couldn't scan. The scanner can only scan A4 max. Darn...
