Pimp My Ride


Officially i'm pimpin up my car!!!
Added some sort of equipment to the engine, actually i still have no idea how does it work.

So yeah, a fren of my dad suggested to install this 'thingy'. So-called to increase pick-up,reduce petrol consumption and making the driving smoother. And yes, it cost 180 bucks. Its called a vacuum i suppose. Not like it makes any difference.

He's been quite persistent and persuasive tho. Being a salesman cum mechanic that he is. I was home alone and taking my usual long naps. He blardy woke me up by pressing the doorbell like gazillion times! I dun think i'm in the conscious mind during his first 'visit'. Then i was completely awake and aware of his second visit. I looked from the window, saw a man i dont recognise.

Guess what? I went back to sleep. lol. No point answering to a stranger when probably he's looking for my dad and he's not at home.

Of course its annoying, but i think after a few visits, he gets the point that there's really 'no one' at home. But anyhow, moments later my dad came back and asked me to come down and have a look how is the process of him installing it.

Yup, i guess my dad already decided to install that 'thingy' on my iswara/saga(i'm still confused which 1 is it, since on the official paper its written as Iswara but at the back its named as Saga).

Here's the modification he made

He relocated and added the tubes from the carburetor(i think, lol. i'm not the person knowing alot bout cars). He pointed to me that there's actually a tiny hole which are not in use at all. So the hole is utilized by adding the tube and linked it to the vacuum (the one in the left red circle, of course not the whole thing, its just a small part). Therefor it increase the performance of the airflow. It goes the same on the right, rewired few of the tubes. Connecting it here and there which i have no idea at all.

Damn, that sounded very risky for not knowing much bout it.

"It will increase the speed greatly. So dun go speeding out there. After installing this, this 1.3cc will feel like 1.6cc"

Yeah rite. Its only one small adjustment. As he goes on blabbering bout another customer of his installed 2 of it, and its able to outrun a Honda Civic

And now for the real test drive of it. The ignition of the engine was quite alrite i suppose. The RPM meter retains at 1000 even after i turned on my air cond.
As for the speed. It wasnt such a big difference, but yeah, it did have a slight boost. Probably bout 5-10%. Not sure bout the petrol consumption tho, will find out soon enough during my next petrol refill.

Since we're talkin bout cars, here's one of the song which stucked in my head now. I got it from the Blaupunkt advertisement. The one with the bass stereo and pink and bear hopping at the back. Lol. Its definitely a censored version here in Malaysia as they were actually humping each other at the back instead of hopping.

Here's the vid clip. Aint the nicest video around, i just like the song :)

T.A.G.

Lee San tagged me! Out of the blues, suddenly she put me as the 9th person from the tag. How can??!!
Eh,this tag is damn hard lah. Do I have any other choice?

Here it goes

8 Points About My Perfect Partner:

1. Being Polite
I do prefer my partner to be on their polite side rather than being all rowdy or awfully loud in public. Cause some ppl do tend to do that in order to gain attention from many? Or somewhat like having the idea of fun?

2. Have respect for my privacy
No, i'm not talking bout charging into my room while i'm changing clothes. Of course I wouldnt really complain bout that lah (lol, just kiddin). Yeah, i got into a fight with a fellow classmate back in Form 5 coz he took my phone and read all my msgs. So i guess in general, i wouldnt like anyone being near to my sms, emails, msgs or any sort at all. As for my partner, i prefer her not to check my 'diaries' and stalking my schedules. I'm not gonna cheat k =P

3. Have respect for my frens
"hey, stay away from him/her,cause i dont like it when u go mixing with 'em" I dont think that's the idea of sacrificing for my other half. Self-explanatory =)

4. Non-smoker
A real turn-off i suppose. Probably to other guys as well. Maybe coz i dun smoke at all, hehe. Let see, if i'm a smoker, probably its better for my partner to be the same too since she wouldnt complain bout me smoking =)

5. Outgoin And Fun!
Being reserved aint fun, being too serious aint fun. Probably i'm just too lame and nonsensical. Thats why. haha. Anyone with a DECENT amount of excitement and humour will do. Since i might get killed by someone who is way more lame (who knows?) =P

6. (Sort of) Patient and not easily agitated
Cant expect anyone to be completely patient, no one is perfect =) Yeah, an easily tempered partner might stir up alot of stuffs (in a bad way lah). Come to think of it, yeah...i cant manage my anger that well too. hehe

7. Understanding
Self-explanatory again =) That shud include knowing that i dun have any hidden meaning behind the phrase 'i'm busy rite now'. I know, laugh all you want. Since Miu Kee is barely busy. Even during exams he watches Youtube till 4am. lol. But yeah, i do get busy and sometimes tied up with some events.

8. Must be a gal/chic/lady!!!
Just to be clear i'm not havin a dude as my partner. Lol. I'm neither Chuck nor Larry. No exception for gals with XY chromosomes!

Thats it!
Do i really have to tag someone? Oh well, just a few will do. Since i doubt anyone will actually do it.
1.Sin Yee
2.Esther
3.Jean Ee
4.Sheena
5.Pearly
Enough lah...my blog traffic already so low, no use throwing out so many names =)

Hold on, by doin this tag, will it even lower my chance of getting a gal? Probably might scare them off with my 'picky' points. Darn it.
Oh well, any applicants/takers for it? Come get ur registration form.

Of Popcorns And A New Facelift !

Woohoo. There ya go. After a long dull look at the prison break origami swan/duck/chicken, finally a huge change to the entire layout.

Actually I dun even know what I'm gonna talk bout in this post, just feel like posting something. Alright, lets talk bout the most frequently used highway in my entire life (used by me, of course).

Knowing the fact that my sch is in PJ and I live in Cheras. So there the ultimate(and also the only way between this 2 cities) connector will be the...

..crap. You know what? I just realised I don't even know the name of it!
All these while i kept on telling ppl its the federal highway. But noooooo, federal only links the one with Mid Valley,KL, PJ and towards Subang and Shah Alam.

I dunno, North-South highway? Nah, thats the huge one leading to a couple of states. Salak Expressway...nope, thats the one on the other side. Darn it.
Lets forget bout the naming thing for the time being alrite? (cant believe we've been paying 50cents per trip for 9 years and still dont know the name of it)

ANYWAY, yeah...advices while ur using this highway.
1.) Avoid the office/rush hour. Probably the morning from 7 till 9 or 10 and 5.30 till 7. Figure out the flow of the traffic urself (Coz its only congested on one direction)

Let say it took me bout 15 mins to reach my sch.
If it rains, 25 mins
If its during rush hour, 45 mins.
If its during rush hour AND its raining, 1 hour 15 mins
If its during rush hour AND its raining AND there's a car broke down at the side, 1 hour 40 mins

2.) Modified proton wajars
These are not the Lala-chai cars. They are the cops. It looks like its their fav highway. So if u think u look like a lala and have a car which looked quite badly(and illegally) pimped, be prepare to stop by them. Its easier to just call as yong-sui.

And yeah, speed traps. Based on my observation (wait, is this legal?). Oh well. Upon heading to PJ, 3 potential places: In front of the Giant/under the fly-over (its not a speed-trap,its a road block...to get the yong-sui fellas and also the mat rempits), after the toll and shell petrol station (popular spot, usually before 12pm) you can see the camera guy squating on your right side, just beside the toll of the opposite flow. Lastly will be in between the previous spot i mentioned and midvalley. This is rare, i only seen them doin it once, the week before raya *hint hint* and thats all.

Upon heading back to my place or Kajang: 2 spots, the guy will be squating beside the pillar on the right...just right after the turn-in to KL/tmn desa (cant remember, but whichever comes first). Means they will do the roadblock before the toll. Second spot will be on top of the flyover above the intersection into Bandar Tun Razak. Once again, a roadblock for rempits and yong-sui ppl.

Thats it! I'm sure u wont have the slightest idea what i'm talkin bout unless u use the highway often enough.

Yesterday (Sat nite), on my way back from basketball game. I saw like 4 groups of police cars along the highway. One group was doing the speed trap, one was at the intersection coz there's like a bad car accident which rammed thru the railings, one car was stopping another lala car further down the road and inspecting the driver, and lastly one car was tryin so hard to chase a group of mat rempits. lol.

Not to forget, you can always drop by my area on Fri and Sat nite to see mat rempits 'strolling' along the highway. Usually in a group of 15-20 and their current fav pitstop is the bus stop in front of Giant. Sometimes its quite amusing to see them doing their fav wheelie and superman stunts. But of course its annoying when they took up the entire lane for their group of entourage.
The annoying-o-meter of this 'unnamed' highway:
1. Traffic congestion
2. Speed traps
3.Mat rempits

Trust me, you'll rather get a speeding ticket, run over one(or more) mat rempits but you will never be able to stand the ugly traffic. No shortcuts, no alternative roads. Just the 3 lanes with cars piling up.
