Reflex on 1st driving experience ...

Speaking of driving schools, they mostly use Kancils, Vivas and Myvis for the students to learn driving. Maybe they are cheap to buy, cheap to insured and cheap to mantain.
Honestly, I dont think paying RM20,000 for a portable Milo tin is cheap.


All these cars have similarities. They are made by Perodua. They are front wheel drive. The engines won't be more than 1000cc. They are designed, sketched and launched by Toyota or Daihastu in Japan.


The Peroduas have bring me to a question. If in Malaysia we learn how to drive by using those cheap and unsafe cars, how about other countries ? I know Finland uses Toyota Aygos or Toyota Yaris. For Americans, I don't expect the autorities give the beginner a kick off in a 5.7 litres V8 Corvette. That will be their first and last driving as the Chevvy V8 produces such big amount of torque and force.


Hmmm ... Kimi Raikonnen drove this before.

I believe out of Malaysia, they will be using the same method, give the beginner a small, low power hatchback. I assume for Germany they will be using Volkswagen Golf, Tata Nano in India and Vauxhall Astra in Britian. I don't think the Italians are so generous to let the beginners to learn driving in a Lamborghini or Ferraris.


Yessss, this is what the Indians has to learn to get this Giant Pikachu moving.

My (L)ove

Good afternoon everyone. I think this may be the last article for 2008.

Well, I admit that I am quite lazy to write about the trip to KL. Yet, I will tell you next year. Alright, we start from car. As you know I am a car lover. A lot. Especially Lamborghini.


I guess you know what I am going to share...


Last Monday, for the 1st time, I drove a car. Sort of.
I was driving a Kancil or I called it as SLK - Small Little Kancil. A 660 cc car. To be honest, that car I think is one of the worst car every made.


Yes, she is so light yet underpower.

I atteneded the practical lesson with 2 other students. One of them was Kumaresan, my classmate. Another one I don't know who was him. That's not the main point.


If you minus the engine coughing and stop time, the rest of the driving lesson was quite nice. I was doing quite well on the track. Let me give you some statistics. Top speed 30km/h, top gear 3rd gear, max rev up to 3000.


My first driving lesson was quite nice although I really don't understand what the teacher was saying. About the car, it was very very basic. There is not much luxury items. What I can describe the SLK is this is really not a good car to drive. It is too light, underpowered, the backseat is very cramped, the suspension is as worse as my dad 12-year-old Saga. For now, I am waiting for my Lembu License.


I have some advices for those who are going to buy a Kancil. If you want to get a Kancil as your 1st car, You should go to the 2nd-hand car dealership there to look for some better cars, i.e., Proton Saga, Honda City or maybe a Datsun 120Y.


P/S : Please share your driving experience here. Thanks !

K.O...

First of all, I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May you all know the true meaning of Chritsmas.

Then, I am very sorry to tell you that I am now recovering from flu, sort of. The articles about my adventures and experience with my 3 buddies to KL, I will post it later.

I also want to wish Pakatan Rakyat win the by-elecion of Kuala Terengganu. May Malaysian show BN what is Makkal Sakti.



-JoE.CoM-

Home Sweet Home ..

I'm home. I just arrived at the Sungai Nibong Bus Terminal about 5.10pm.


Now I am very tired. I don't have the energy to tell you the stories and the adventures.


Catch you all some other times.

73.
-JoE.CoM-

Tomorrow ...

Tomorrow, I will be going to KL for 3 days. Later, I will go to Jetty to buy the train ticket, which you may ask why me and my friends will take train.


Tonight I will need to pack my things, get ready, and phone each of the tour members.

Pray for us, for our journey, trip and also our safety.


I will tell you all about the trip after I come back from there. Maybe I will give some gifts to those who drop comment on my blog. Hahax ..


See you then.


-JoE.CoM-

Comment war ..

I have experienced comment war or testimonials war before. The game is very simple, you just keep on drop comment, until the other side fed up or exhausted and can't reply your comment. That game is really childish and ridiculous.


However, not so long ago I dropped some comments at a friend article. I just express my opinion and put some statistics about the Intel processor, the i7 .


Guess what, one of the blogger shoot me back. She say my so called statistics are useless. She challenge me, if I know so much, go and buy one. I think she is quite rich. Or else she won't throw me such challenge.


Luckily, here is not America. You don't easily have a gun unless you are a cop or you are in special case. If the fire continues to burn, I may be killed. I may be shooted by AK-47 rifle or Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun.


By the way, from here, some tips for all of us :
1) Don't agrue with girl. You get nothing.
2) Girl doesn't care much when they argue, even though you got loads of STATISTICS.
3) Try your best to avoid quarrel with anyone, especially girl.


If any girls think that I am talking rubbish or what I have posted are wrong, do feel please to ring me or drop comment. Tell me and the readers what is the real situation.



-JoE.CoM-

RM6.20 ...

Now I have left RM6.20 in my prepaid account. That's not a good thing to be honest. Now only know become an organizer is not easy at all. You need to rush for the hotel booking, bus or train ticket. Anyway, I get experience from this trip.


Now I am very looking forward to go to KL with my 4 classmates or friends. I hope the whole trip can be done smoothly. Hope that we can take the right train, LRT and Monorail connection when we are in KL.


If anyone can recommend some intersting places in KL, please do so. Drop comment or phone me or tell me on MSN. Zoo Negara perhaps ?



-JoE.CoM-

-JoE.CoM- Trailer

I don't have any video recording equipment with me now. So now I cant do a movie trailer for you to know what's coming up.


So, I will tell you all what I am going to post up for the next 3 weeks.
The graduation magazine has describe the student attitude, cuteness, and characteristics of each students.
Instead of following the Grad Mag, I will be writing the students of 5SA1 from my view.


My class, 5SA1 2008. 5SA1, truly Malaysia !!


PIKOM PC Fair has just finished. So I would do a report about what makes me feel annoying and what caught my attention. That's No.2


Model at Pikom PC Fair. As usual, people mountain people sea.


I will be going to KL and also visit Uncle Lim, hence Genting Highlands for the coming weeks. It will be very fun and all of us are waiting for it as we plan the whole trip by ourselves. Report will be posted with loads of pictures and our own thoughts and experiences.


Now I am considering whether want to take myself for a spin. Hmm ...


I think I shouldn't talk too much.
That's all.
Hahax ...
See you then.
Bye.

RM 1.90 for 1 litre of petrol ?

2 days ago, 2/12/2008, the Prime Minister’s Office has announced that the prices of fuel in Malaysia will be slashed by 10 sen.

So, here is the new price of the fuel :

RON97 - RM1.90
RON92 - RM1.80
Diesel - RM1.80


Hmmm ... How much would it takes to fill up the tank ?


Is this still the correct or the true price for the petrol. No. For example, the world petrol price is USD 47.43 per litre or equal to RM1.13 per litre. Many people are also complaining that the goverment are sucking our money from the petrol. I think that is untrue. You must remember that when the petrol was USD 140 something, the ammount of money that the goverment used to mantain the price at RM2.70. So the goverment are not gaining any profit.


I got some statistics from our Gombak MP, YB Azmin Ali. He reported some countries petrol price when the petrol in Malaysia was RM2.70 per litre. Those countries are net petrol exporters. For examples, Qatar RM0.68 per litre, Kuwait RM0.67 per litre, Venezuela RM0.16 per litre. Finally Malaysia, RM2.70 per litre. You will think this is ridiculous. Surely, no doubt at all.


Now the petrol has dropped below RM1.92. I believe some people are satisfied. Some of you are not. Some of you still demanding for lower price.


"This is how we rule Malaysia", said Barisan Nasional Goverment. We just encourage Barang Naik.


From my view, I think the price of petrol should follow the global petrol price. I think the subsiding system is no longer can be used in the world of globalisation. We should be independent. However, to do so, the goverment MUST ABOLISH ALL THE IMPORT TAX for CAR. That is a must.


With such system, the people only can have a better life. I don't think lowering the petrol price will solve the problems. That is just a short term way to reduce the burden of the people.


Conclusion, I will fill up my Suzuki with V-Power for the first time. Such a nice time to experience the power of high quality petrol.

Welcome ot the world of flamboyant !

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 Spyder

I think it is quite a long time that -JoE.CoM- doesn't mention about cars. Well, what are you waiting for ? Just scroll down.


Joe welcome all the readers to the world of mad and insane. Ladies and gentlemen, the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. This new Gallardo is the same as the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 minus the top. Under the bonnet, it is armed with the 5.2 litre V10 engine that produces a whooping 560 brake-horsepower and 540Nm of torque. You get loads of grip as this car is gifted with the all-wheel drive system.


I wish I can listen to the money exploding noise in the powerful 5.2 litre V10 engine.


I believe that the car you put as wallpaper when you were a child in your bedroom is mostly Ferrari. I just don't get it why that time I don't like the Lambo. Maybe I didn't know the exsistance of Lambo. Maybe I am still adore the Ferrari F40's power.


Back to the Lambo, the Gallardo has advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled 'semi-automatic single-clutch sequential manual', which Lamborghini abbreviates to "E-gear". The gears are controlled by the flappy paddles, which is a lot faster than the normal manual transmission.



The technology, the interior, the madness, the coolness ...



In an episode of Top Gear, the LP560-4 managed a lap of 1:19.5, as fast as a Porsche 911 GT2, faster than the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, the Nissan GTR and its counterpart the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640.



A picture says a thousand words. Just look at it or stare at it.


Pricing of the Gallardo LP560-4 will start at around US$222,000, or RM836,000.



It is such sexy and good looking in any angle.


If someone who want to buy a supercar and doesnt choose this, he or she is either blind like Stevie Wonder or a cock.

It's My Life

Well, I think most of the readers are in a relationship. Some of them still the same as me, single.


Now I am thinking, is there any terms and conditions for anyone to have a special relationship. From my view, I think yes. It's not advisable for someone who still not financial independent.


However, this problem has now come to me. I am in love. I am now thinking and considering whether I should move forward or not.


I am now stuck in the junction between the path of single and in a relationship.


I am now working as a labour and as a part time teacher. My income is not enough two people. I still have loads of important stuff in my shopping list. At the end, it will be not enough to feed myself.


What do you say ? What do you think ?

McDonald Sundae

Classical, Chocolate Sundae


I believe that most of you know that McDonald Malaysia are doing a promotion for the all-time-favourite Sundae. You can order it with the Chocolate toppings or the Strawberry flavour. Now, you can get it with only RM2.00, exclude the 5% tax. So you are going to pay for RM2.10 for a Sundae cup. However, this promotion only valid till 7th of December if I am not mistaken. So hurry up !




Normal Sundae cup price - RM3.00


Most of us will be very happy when they heard that the price is reduced from RM3 to RM2. As you know, MacDonalds rare to make such promotion. You will think that MacDonalds are learning the Chinese business style - 薄利多销, which means you lower down the price so that more people will buy from you. Actually, don't be so sure. I have a different opinion.


You see, those who only plan to buy the Sunade cone, which is around RM1.20, they will spend RM2.10 for the Sundae cup because they think that it is worth and don't want to lose the chance. However, they spend RM0.90 more than their budget. On the other hand, MacDonald gain RM0.90. Some people will be greedy and will order 2 or 3 Sundae as they don't want to miss the chance.


By using such tactics, MacDonald earns more than they expected. You may think they may lost when they dropped the price. No. This is their tactics, to attract more customers to have meals in their shops. Don't think the customers who intend to buy Sundae only bought Sundae. They will bought the side products such as French fries or burgers or drinks.


Now, do you understand how they gain profit ? This is the same way that MacDonald use to gain profit with their unlimited refilling.

Why Malaysia oil price is so RIDICULOUS ?

Most of you know that the world economy is not in good shape. Many people will be sacked. As a result, the oil price drops a lot.


The funny thing is, Malaysia petrol is still expensive than the actual market price.
Now I would do some simple maths calculation to show the Malaysians that been fooled by Barang Naik govt.


1 barrel of crude oil = 159 litres.
*Assume the exchange rate is USD1 = RM3.60

Current crude oil price = USD 65.28 / RM228.48

Actual market value of 1 litre of crude oil
= RM228.48 / 159 litres
= RM1.437


So, ladies and gentlemen, the actual price is only RM1.44 !!
Then why we paid RM2.15 for a litre of black gold ?

We are been fooled by the govt that Malaysia oil is the "cheapest" in the world.

"Cheapest" huh ? Malaysia sells the most expenive oil in the world.

Where is the profit go ?
Mostly into Bee End govt and those UMNO-putra pocket.


Besides that, don't be so sure the govt will abolish the 250% stupid import tax.
This is one of the way to protect the 20 years old retarded Proton.
If not, now we will be driving Toyota, Honda, BMW, Audi or even Mercedes.


After reading this article, do you still want to support Barang Naik govt ?
I won't.

Reformasi !

10 tahun yang lalu, Pemimpin PKR and Pakatan Rakayt,Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI) telah dipecat dari jawatan timbalan perdana menteri. Ini disebabkan akibat DSAI tidak bersetuju dengan tindakan Mahathir Mohammad menyelamatkan ekonomi Malaysia. Sebaliknya, tindakan Mahathir adalah untuk menyelamatkan kroninya daripada kesusahan.


DSAI, dituduh meliwat. Apakah mentaliti UMNO dan Barisan Nasional ini ? Apakah yang difikirkan oleh Mahathir pada masa itu ? Adakah tindakan sedemikian dapat mengukuhkan kerajaan Mahathir Mohammad ?


Mahathir Mohammad, seorang mamak yang memerintah Malaysia selama 22 tahun, bersikap zalim, diktator. Mengapakah kerajaan berkuasa mutlak ini yang bersifat seperti Hitler, dapat bertahan selama 22 tahun di sebuah negara demokrasi berparlimen ? Mahathir terlalu de facto. Mahathir seorang yang zalim.


Para pembaca mungkin tidak jelas tentang apakah yang sedang berlaku semasa DSAI ditangkap pada tahun 1998. Saya, JoE.CoM di sini mempunyai satu dokumentari yang dirakam oleh Australia Broadcasting Cooperation (ABC), yang menjelaskan perkara sebenar sebalik penangkapan DSAI.





Reformasi !!

How to buy a car in Malaysia ??

I know most of you know how to choose a car. You look for the performance, the ride quality, the fuel comsumption, interior and the looks. Now I want to tell you a story about how our Malaysian goverment buy cars.


Firstly, they went to the dealerships and asked for quotation. The dealer will be very happy as they got customers. So they just pass the quotation and explain to the officers about the details. The officers would just leave after listening to the dealer explaining to them. In the end, they have many quotations from many dealers.


After they went back to the office, they had a simple meeting. The head officers, LahJib stood up and said to others, "Well, I don't think there is a needto test the cars". Some committes objected. Lahjib then said "Well, we have more than enough documents to compare which is the best. So the free car test is just another way to waste time." In the Malaysia culture, whatever your boss said, you had to agree with them.

After 2 weeks, they went to a company called Proton. The general manager of Proton was very pleased. So the govt. agreed to order for 12 Proton Saga, which cost them RM90,000. Although the actual price of this car is RM30,000, LahJib still agree to buy from Proton. Eventually, they bought 12 units. Who is paying the money ? Well, not LahJib, not the officers but the taxpayers.


That's the end of the story. Does this story let you think of another incident that happened not so long ago ? I think so.

November 2008

I think the coming month, November is a very challenging yet enjoying month.

Okay, you have the SPM, which will be held from 11th of November till 27th of November. 1111, really is a nice date yet it is the date that will change each form 5 students destiny.


Then, you have the new James Bond Movie , the Quantum of Solace, which in the film, there will be many explosion and many people get kicked in their faces.



Daniel Craig, is he good enough to be James Bond ?


Now, the interesting part is there are 2 games going to be launched in November. For the speeding fans, I introduce the Need For Speed : Undercover. For those who want to taste how it likes to be a criminal, Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA4).



Black, solid GTA4 logo by Rockstar North.



Welcome everyone to the Porsche 911 legend.

So, those who are free can try out these new games and film. Tell me your comment about those new, exciting games or movie.


As I will be sitting for my SPM, so have to wait till 1127 only can play thsoe games. Aiks ..

Dato Onn Jaafar

As we all know, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia first Prime Minister is known as the Father of Independence. We know it from our history textbook, newspaper and some achieve.


However, I think Dato Onn Jaafar is more important. I should say he is a great leader. He knew what will happen in Malaysia over the next 50 years. He formed the Parti Negara and Independence of Malaya Party. Both parties has the same caracteristics of the well-knowned party in 2008, The People's Justice Party or Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR). He knew that Malaysia needs a multi-racial party. Tunku don't even have such idea when he was in UMNO. So what we can see from here is, Parti Perikatan is a imitation from Onn Jaafar idea.


Besides that, He suggested that UMNO should open it's membership to non-Malay. The leaders of UMNO on that time thought that this is totally unaccetable. It was just like saying to a Christian that there is no God. So, he leave.


This is quite a sad thing. As a leader that can foresee the future, a leader that is so emphasis on multi-races party, slowly fade out from the politics.


I actually quite impressed with Dato Onn Jaafar. He's just like the 1950's Anwar Ibrahim, who formed PKR on that time. What a man, what a great leader ! I salute to you !

Wait and Wish

In the night,
I lied on the bed,
staring on my W810i,
hoping you will reply my message.


Maybe,
You don't know how was my feeling,
when I was waiting for your reply.


Do you know,
your reply is such important to me ?
Do you know,
you are a surge of power,
pushing me to another higher stage ?
Do you know,
If you didnt reply me,
I won't feel relieved ?


I wish,
I hope,
I beg,
I wait.


Maybe you won't be reading this article,
Maybe you would rather listen to your favourite artist's song.
Maybe he would be better than me,
or he should have.
Maybe I am not as good as others,
and I can't really promise anything to you.


I hope we can understand each other.
I hope we can sharing our joy and also the sadness, together.
I hope we can be a good friends,
or even more than that.

Ozio Enterprise .. WTH ?

Not so long ago, the teachers in Chung Ling High School Penang has received a little present from the Ozio Enterprise, which is YE. It was very good and this shows they respect the teacher. That's fine.


However, there are some stories behind this deal. Do you know that YE collects RM1 from each student no matter they are in From 1 or Upper 6 ? Imagine, the school got more or less 3000 students. Each students gave RM1 and they will have RM3000 in no time at all. They also show the permission or warrant given out by the authority, hence disclipine unit.


In the end, they end up by giving the teacher a small bag. It is bigger than the bag that you usually put handphone in it. You can put 4 or 5 marker pens in it. Chung Ling got about 220 teachers.


I shall show you some simple calculation about the cost and the NET PROFITS made by YE. 1 bag costs more or less RM6. This is the maximum or the average price. So 220 teachers, you will end up with 220 X 6 = RM1320. So, the NET PROFIT is RM1680. RM1680, where is that big amount of money have gone ??


YE, I know that earning money is your target and your mission. You earn money not with by FORCING people to buy your products. I don't think many Chung Ling students will be thinking of how the money will be used. In fact, this is cheating.

Ozio Enterprise, you such useless and what a shame. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCETABLE. You are not much difference with the British who ruled Tanah Melayu 70 years ago. And your name is very RIDICULOUS and STUPID ! Change a better name.


So, to all my dear Chung Ling friends and students, if that YE collects money from yo uall, do ask what is the purpose and ask them to show a clear finance report about that !!

Happy Graduate !!

Well, what I can say to those PCGHS friends who are officially graduate their Form 5 is congrats to you all and keep in touch. I believe most people are very happy as they can taste the freedom. However, most of us will feel sad too. I am one of the student will feel sad. I really don't know when can meet my friends again although we can chat online.


So, it is quite a sad situation. Now we have to come to almost the end of the journey. We have to make a choice. Is the road not taken ? I not so sure about that. So, basically, I really feel sad. I feel confused which road I would take.


As time moves on, I would congrats those who successfully graduate after 5 years in secondary school. Best of luck for your SPM !!

CLHS Graduation Magazine, where are you ??

It's a sad news for all the Form 5 students at Chung Ling. We only can get our graduation magazine on the 28th of November. That's the date where we all have to return our textbook. I think we are the latest school to get our precious mag.


I don't want to comment about graduation magazine. AS long as I can get it before year 2008 end, it's okay for me. And I dare not to request much since I am not the working committes. So, what I can say is, Hope we can get the books on time.


I have seen PCGHS and CHCHS grad. magazine. I think both are brilliant. So I hope CLHS grad. magzaine can achieve higher standard or the same standard. Hope the magazine will be a good memory to all those who spend 5 years in CLHS.

Need For Speed : Undercover

It has been a long time that I didn't play the Need For Speed (NFS) ProStreet. The first time I get in touch in this game. I am actually a big fan of NFS series. The first NFS series I played is the Need For Speed Carbon. However, I think the best installment is the Need For Speed : Most Wanted. The graphic is nice, the police is quite tough, the road is brilliant. Almost everything is in the right place.


Now then, there is a new series. It is called the Need For Speed : Undercover. It will be launched on 18 of November 2008. Unfortunately, on that time, I will be sitting for the SPM. So I have to wait till the exam end, only that I can try it out whether it will as good as the previous or not.

Here is some picture and trailer for you all.

The upcoming Proton MPV

I believe that most Malaysians are very eager to see how would Proton first Multi-Purpose-Vehicle(MPV) looks like. I think this is a great achievement as Proton are willing to change. If they really did a good job on this MPV, as a Malaysian, we should support Proton by buying their new car.


Anyway, Proton havn't declare when is the new car going to be launched. There are many rumors in the Net saying that it will looks like the combination of Nissan Grand Livina and Toyota Wish.


The MPV will be tuned by Lotus. It is quite rare for a MPV be tuned by a race car company. It is just like you send your Toyota Avanza to be tuned by Razo or Sparco. I can't imagine what will happen to the car. The car will cost around RM60K to 70K. Powered by a 1.6 CPS Engine and front-wheel drive, hopefully it will be well built.


Let -JoE.CoM- shows you some pictures so that all the readers know what the MPV will be more or less alike.



Hmmm ... That's more like it. I'm sorry to tell you that it is just a photoshop edition of a Mazda 8.
If the real MPV is more or less nice looking, good job Proton !




This picture was shot in the Prai Industrial area. That's not gone well if to be honest.
Anyway, that is just the prototype.

The "New" Perodua Myvi SE

Original Myvi. Nice.

Perodua has really done a great job. The Perodua Myvi is launched in 2005. It is really a fantastic car. My mum brought one of that. We all really like it. When Myvi faces with the Proton Savvy, it just wipe the Savvy out. It was so nice looking.



It handles well too. You won't be expecting a RM45K hatchback to be so good. It really is a fantastic car. So this was a very good news for the manufacturer, Perodua. The boss will thinks that "Let us improve it, put it with lots of racing suit or sport suit on the Myvi. Le us change the hatchback into a hot Golf". So all the committes agree.


They come out with the Myvi Special Edition(SE), which looks more sporty. However, they neither increase the engine output nor tune the handling. In fact, they just gave the Myvi a new facelift. It is just like a woman go for a plastic surgery. On the 22nd of Agusut 2008, they launched the new Myvi facelift version. It is added with new audio system with USB and Bluetooth connection.




Is that a way to modify a good looking car ? Look at it, the Perodua Devil Chariot !




Leather seat. Is it neccessary ?



Not much change in the interior except for the audio and dashboard.





It was quite okay for me. But then, disaster. The new Myvi SE is really terrible. in the ads, it was painted in orange and pretend the handling was improve. I don't think so. The reason why so many people love Myvi because it was good-looking, reasonable, comfortable and good handling. Perodua, You just ruined the whole situation. By the way, the new facelifted Myvi is even more expensive. So what is the reason we buy a car that is ugly, same as the old model and more expensive.


I think that Perodua should concentrate on the performance, rather than spend all the R & D on how to make a car that looks sporty but useless. Put turbo in it, up the power and the engine cc. That should do the job. Price, that is a quite important factor. The new SAGA costs around RM30K. You get more spaces yet you pay less. So Perodua, PLEASE REDUCE the PRICE.


So, what I can conclude is the new Myvi isn't that good as the old one. If you are now want to buy a hatchback that costs around RM40K or you are not affordable to buy a Volksawgen Golf GTi, get yourself the old Myvi. That will help you to save a lot of money.

Audi R8 - Proud of Audi AG

It has been a while that I havn't update my blog about cars. Well, today let me do a simple introduction to you about Audi R8. It has been launched since 2007. It is not as new as you think. But the specification is really magnificient.


It shares the same platform as the Lamborghini Gallardo. It is mid-engine, mounted with a 4.2L V8 FSI engine that Audi puts in their RS4. It is permanant four-wheel drive. So you have a lot of grip and torque when you turning around the corner.




Black, soild German interior in the R8

My classmate said that this car is very pretty. Yes, it is. It is really a piece of engineering perfection. It is not too stirking like the Lambos. It is more civilized. For me, I think it is brilliant.

In Malaysia, the only way you can buy this amazing supercar is order it from Naza. So I don't think I will go and kiss Naza arse to get myself the R8.


Anyway, that is a really good car. If you got money, go for it.

Jazzy Sunday

Another Sunday morning,
11 morning sharp,
we singing hymms to praise the Lord.
sort of.


I can't feel,
can't experience the power and the joy.
Perhaps most of us are too sleepy,
maybe in our mind, we havn't let God handle our life,
maybe we are too lazy.
But mostly, we are not a good servant.


Sunday,
For most people,
a day to tuition, sleep, play and rest.
For me,
It's a day for me to rethink of what i've done,


Perhaps,
It will be much nicer if using the words "we" rather than "I"
together, we rebulid the walls of Jerusalem.
together, we spread gospel to the world.


Rather than quarreling,
shouting at each other.
So sad ..

Buka Puasa ...

During the muslims fasting season or we called as "puasa", I visited the malay Buka Puasa market. In the begining, I thought I am the only chinese in the market. No, I was totally wrong. There were other chinese visiting the market too.




Wow ... 1st time went to there


I bought Nasi Lemak Cedok, which I not really understand what it really means. I think the nasi lemak was put in the ceduk. So they called it as nasi lemak ceduk. To be honest, the food was very nice. I think as a Malaysian, we should be proud of that as we have lots of delicious food. So, don't just eat macdonalds or pizza hut. Try some local cuisine. It may suprise you.




Nice ... That's what I can say ..





Nasi Lemak Cedok ...



I think that there is no problems for all the 3 mains races - Chinese, Malay and Indians to live together peacefully. So what is the main point of proposing the Race Relation Act ? That is nonesense. The only problems is the UMNO leaders. They are playing the fool with the issue. Such a shame that a grown-up leaders want to do so. USELESS !!!

Chemistry ... What a misery ...

I just received my chemistry paper. I was quite disappointed. The result was not as good as I expected. Well, my paper 2 was actually quite not bad. Just that at the section B and C, I lose most of the marks. Over 20 marks, I only get 5 MARKS !! I really can't accept that.

So, this is the time for me to rethink again about my strategy. 1 month to go. Now or never.


Before I end this article, I shall attached something called a mind map for you all, may be quite usefull in the chemistry.

36 days to SPM ...

Today I received the exam paper from the teacher. To be honest, I think most of the marks are below expectation. So I asked some "experts" how to solve this annoying problems, they answered me the same answer - more exercise, study smart and hard.

I believe their precious advices. I think that's the only way. However, just before the school ends, someone gave us some brochrue about some last minutes SPM insentive seminar. I am not so sure about that whether it will work or not.


So SPM is really damn around the corner. I don't think now is the time for us to play the fool. I don't want to regret when I receive the result.


Finally, best of luck to all those who are sitting for PMR and SPM.

cars, cars, cars ...

I believe that most of the reader or your parents are driving a Perodua or Proton. I don't think Naza is one of the Malaysia national car manufacturer because all I know is that they just bring in the Kia from Korea and rebadge it. And Naza monopolize the supercar market in Malaysia. I don't understand why those people so like about Naza. I mean come on, you are just supporting those people who have APs. Bullshit !

I would rather drive Proton or Perodua which are very unreasonable than driving those so called Made-in-Malaysia Naza.

Anyway, let us back to focus on Proton and Perodua. Most Malaysians drive them because we have no choice. The goverment taxes 250% on every imported car. This is riddiculous. What about Asean Free Trade Area (AFTA) ? If Malaysia really agrees with AFTA, now everyone will be driving Vios or City. The rich people will be driving Bentley or Lambos. Sort of.


Why our national cars are so expensive ? Malaysia population is about 300,000, which is not big. So we actually don't have to set up our own car company, Proton. 25 years ago, Malaysia 4th Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir thinks that we should follow Japan or Korea to have our be so called "merdeka or independent". Now, look what had happen ??


Then, Proton again don't have to compete with others company. This 25-year-old baby is retarded. It still can't stand alone. What a shame. Unlike Honda or Toyota which produce their car is mass volume, they can easily reduce their production cost. On the other hand, Proton or Perodua can't. They can't sell as much as the Japs. So the cost increases, and the consumer, hence we, have to pay for that.


I not very like about the Perodua Kancil. I know, it is the cheapest car you can get on the market for a first hand car. But come on, the safety feature is really a disaster. If you crashed into a tree or the road divider, that's the end. You hardly can recover the RM20K Milo-tin.


Well, that's what I can write for this evening. I will be continue more about cars in the coming weeks. So if you want to buy a car, don't buy Naza. That's what I can advice.

F1 night race

As we all know, F1 is one of the most advance or expensive sports in the world.

For some people, they just think that is a sport for rich company to pour hydrocarbon into the tank and explode it in the V10 engine of each car.


On the other hand, for some people like me, I think that is better than other sports. I would rather watch petrol exploding then see who can run 100m in the fastest time.


The sound of the V10 engine is really magnificent. The speed is even staggering - 360km/h. you really need th guts of steel to drive at such fast speed. But that speed is easily beaten by the world fastest roadcar, the Bugatti Veyron. 8 litre, W16 engine with quad-turbo producing 1000bhp. It can outrun the F1 race car easily, piece of cake.


Nevertheless, back to F1 race. Singapore F1 race in the night, how hard can it be for the driver ? It is beyond the limit. No one has try this before. Nobody has dare to give a suggestion that sounds "I know, let's put Lewis Hamilton and his gang in a race at night at the tiny red dot country".


Tomorrow is the day. Maybe God wants to test the realy performance of the car and the driver, so He drop pour some sky juices off the sky, making the race more fun and exciting. Of course it will be more dangerous.


So who will win the the race tommorow ? Rubica ? Raikonnen ? Hamilton ? or maybe Massa ?


Enjoy the race, lads.

Exam ...

After the SPM trial exam, I learnt something.


Exam isn't that scary or terrible. It is just the process of preparing and revision that really makes you feel scary. During the exam, if you know how to answer the question, congrats to you. If not, sorry no cure.


The SPM is around the corner. So the Form 5's student really need to put all their effort for the exam. Best of luck to all the form 5 student.




Best of luck.

Transforming a society into a community .

Hi friends,

It is quite a long time that I didn't use English to write articles or blog. So I am very sorry if the article has any grammar mistakes.


I have a dream. I wonder no one has ever done this before. I mean how hard could it be to turn a society into a small community or society. It means the members come to the activities not only for learning or getting points but also but they can enjoy other facilities such as a mini co-operative. I think the word "family" is the best to describe this situation.


I belive through such transformation, a society can financially independent. It has a steady income. So "money is still not enough" isn't a reason that time.


However, such ambitious project needs the co-operation of the committe. Firstly, the committes need to be independent. In their own division or group, they need to know their own job clearly. Secondly, you need a very long time to establish. Third, you need a space for that.


I hope this mega project won't be like the Top Gear slogan, "ambitious but rubbish". Aiks ...

916, Jadi atau Tidak Jadi ?

916 telah berlalu. Saya dan kawan saya telah berbincang tentang isu ini. Kawan saya kata Barisan Nasional / Bee End masih menguasai kerajaan persekutuan pada hari tersebut. Saya menafikan dan yakin bahawa Pakatan Rakyat akan menguasai.


Akhirnya, saya telah kalah. Sehingga hari ini, 921, Bee End masih merupakan kerajaan persekutuan. Maka kawan saya kata dia yakin bahawa pada 923, Bee End akan ditumpahkan. Saya juga berharap demikian.


Tidak dinafikan bahawa banyak rakyat dan penyokong Pakatan Rakyat (PR) telah berasa kecewa dengan apa yang berlaku pada 916. Walau bagaimanapun, saudara-saudari yang saya kasihi, saya berasa kita harus yakin akan PR. Peribahasa Ingerris mengatakan "Late is better than never", tidak kira berapa lama yang digunakan oleh PR untuk menguasai kerajaan persekutuan, penyokong PR harus sentiasa yakin dan memberi sokongan penuh.


Saya juga menantikan apa yang sepatut berlaku pada 923. Haraplah 923 adalah satu hari yang bersejarah selain daripada 308, 513, 826, 831, dan 916.

Pengurusan masa

Selamat pagi dan salam sejahtera.

Pagi ini, berlakunya satu perkara yang memang merusingkan saya sahaja. Guru bimbingan saya telah menukar masa tuisyen yang ditetapkan. Tidak dinafikan bahawa kita banyak menghadapi perkara seperti ini.


Dalam hal ini, saya berpendapat bahawa cikgu ini tidak mempunyai pengurusan masa yang baik. Mungkin cikgu perlu menyelesaikan perkara yang penting dahulu. Jika seseorang ingin berjaya, dia haruslah mempunyai pengurusan masa yang baik. Seorang peniaga tidak akan menukarkan masa pertemuan dengan pelanggan dengan sesuka hati kerana akibatnya imej dia terjejas. Maka orang lain tidak akan lega berniaga atau berkawan dengannya.


Selain itu, ini menyusahkan orang lain. Tidak mungkin pelanggan mempunyai masa lapang untuk menukar temu janji. Kelakuan seperti ini hanya merugikan sendiri dan pihak lain sahaja.


Sebelum saya mengakhiri artikle saya, saya ingin mengatakan bahawa saya tidak ingin menegur sesiapa. Saya hanya mengaitkan perkara ini supaya kita tidak melakukan kesalahan yang sama pada masa depan.

Siapakah Ahmad Ismail ?

Salam sejahtera kepada saudara - saudari, ini merupakan kali pertama saya menulis blog dalam Bahasa Melayu. Harap maaf jika terdapatnya kesalahan tatabahasa.

Sejak Pilihan Raya P44 - Permatang Pauh, terdapat beberapa perkara yang sedih dan membuatkan saya kecewa lagi marah dengan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional.

Siapakah Ahmad Ismail ? Siapakah dia ? Adakah dia sama dengan Zakaria di Selangor ? Mengapa seorang ketua UMNO Bahagian Bukit Bendera boleh mengingkar arahan Perdana Menteri Malaysia ? Adakah dia lebih berkuasa daripada P.M. Malaysia ?

Ahmad Ismail mengatakan Orang Cina adalah MENUMPANG di Malaysia sahaja, maka mereka TIDAK HARUS DIBERI HAK SEPERTI WARGANEGARA MALAYSIA. Apakah yang difikirkan oleh pemimpin UMNO ?? Orang Cina pada peringkat awal hanya mahu Ahmad untuk meminta maaf sahaja. Ahmad DEGIL. Malah dia mengoyakkan gambar Koh Tsu Koon di hadapan khalayak ramai. UMNO mengugut para pemberita dan mengarah mereka tidak boleh menunjukkan gambar -gambar UMNO-Putra mengoyak gambar Koh Tsu Koon.


Adakah ini sepatut terjadi di tanah air kita, Malaysia ? Marilah kita lihat ke negara jiran kita, Thailand. Rakyat Thailand sekarang mengadakan demosrasi untuk menurunkan Perdana Menteri, Samak. Mereka tidak mengira kaum semasa dalam kempen itu, mereka mahu sebuah kerajaan yang berdikari, amanah dan adil sahaja. Semasa Pilihan Raya 308, banyak pemimpin Barang Naik telah memainkan rakyat dengan isu isu sensitf. Selepas kekalahan BN dalam 308, mereka masih tidak insaf.


Adakah ini yang kita mahu ? Sebuah kerajaan yang tidak adil ? Sebuah kerajaan yang meneruskan Dasar Ekonomi Baru yang dijalankan selama 20 tahun yang kini telah gagal ? Sebuah kerajaan yang lemah dan tidak mampu menangani masalah rasuah dengan berkesan ? Sebuah kerajaan yang memainkan isu isu perkauman ? Sebuah kerajaan yang menyalahgunakan kuasa kuasa dan undang-undang ??


Tidak !! Kerajaan kita harus membantu kaum- kaum yang lemah dengan pendidikan, bukan dengan WANG atau TONGKAT !! Negara kita Malaysia memerlukan sebuah kerajaan yang cekap, menghindari amalan jahiliah, dan adil terhadap semua rakyatnya.


Ahmad Ismail, dia tidak layak dipanggil seorang ketua atau pemimpin. Dia hanya sampah yang berbahaya dan akan meletup yang mungkin mencederakan lebih banyak orang lagi. Maka kita haruslah bersatu padu, tidak takut atau gentar terhadap pelampau yang begitu dahsyat dan tidak berguna.


Sebagai kesimpulan, saya ingin mencadangkan kepada semua rakyat Malaysia cara untuk menentang kezaliman pelampau seperti ini, iaitu semasa pilihan raya, JANGAN MENGUNDI BARISAN NASIONAL, UNDILAH PAKATAN RAKYAT !!

UP UP PAKATAN , DOWN DOWN BARISAN !!

PC Fair August 2008

I just came back from the PC Fair. As usual, you have to go for a big round, than only you can enter into the main hall. If you want to have a look at the fair, I suggest that you can go to there during Friday afternoon, where there is not many people.


Many people go to there for window shopping. I was not. I have bought some of the items I needed the most, check out the pricelist. All was going well. The Acer laptop was really ass-kicking cheap !!! I mean from the spec it is really valued-buy. Recommended !!! Sorry that I cant list out the model as I had forgotten.


However, my hunting season has caused my pocket to shrink. That's not quite good. Well, earn more money from the product and save more money I think is the only solution for this problem.


Yet, I still havn't hunt down most of the hot items. So here we go again. Meet you all at there at Sunday afternoon !!!

Proton vs Mercedes, How hard can it be ??

不久前，登嘉楼州政府斥资马币340万元添购14部马赛迪200型轿车，引起朝野两方的评论。国阵政府起初时暴跳如雷，应起了小风波。过后就指示登州政府只能用马赛迪接待外宾，不可当官车。雪州行动党和回教党则表明普腾将相(Perdana V6)问题多多，并赞成登州政府的决定。槟州首长林冠英谴责这是一个浪费公款的行为。


从我的角度看待这个问题，我觉得普腾，登州政府和国阵政府都有问题。我们先从普腾讲起。普腾的汽车，我相信大家心里有数。品质，表现和价钱，都不能与日产车或欧产车比较。由于普腾长期垄断着大马市场，加上政府实行的保护国产车政策，导致普腾失去了竞争能力。许多人宁愿买丰田，也不把普腾作为第一的选择。这些人不是不爱国，只是他们对普腾完全失望了。


国阵政府，一个滥权政府，讲一套，做一套。若国阵政府真的很爱国，那就把所有的非普腾汽车卖掉，从今以后只能用普腾的车。警察部队也一样，所有的卡车，巴士等交通工具，都用普腾这长不大的婴孩所制造的车。到时政府是否能存活，我相信99%是SK2 (Si Kiao Kiao)，因为普腾都没有能力，普腾太烂了。你以为这里是韩国吗？？去好过看看吧！！！


最后，登州政府没有公开投标，全部都给了朋党赚了。原本400令吉的维修费，可以涨到2000令吉，真是"Malaysia Boleh " !!普腾的指定维修处使用赝品，真是一群黑心商人。


我有一句话像对马拉西亚政府说∶国阵政府，你还有很大的"进步空间"，继续努力.我相信你是"能"的,Malaysia Boleh !!!
