Procrastination Act III

Can somebody tell me how can an all consistent vehicle that was so freaking fast it did a wheelie during a test run can fail on race day? *&^%$#$%^&! Look! It has got flames on it for crying out loud! (original idea was to soak with petrol and light it up for the last run. But it wasn't allowed..) knocked out of the first race! if it would only travel that extra 0.2 meters! Gahhh..


Edit:

Procrastination Act II

Things you do to get away from your work.. You take a picture of your shirt, edit it, blow it up, use it as your desktop background. 1024 x 768 desktop size available on request..

Women drivers

A picture worth a thousand words. A video? Priceless.

Not that I'm a sexist but they just kept proving my statement.

And I thought only these guys pull such stunts..

Old cars in exchange for cash vouchers

The Federation of Motor and Credit Companies (FMCC) had made a proposal to Proton to start voluntary scrapping of cars that are 15 years and older.

A voucher worth RM 5000 will be given to the owners for their car as down payment for a new or used national car.

Link: The Star

An attempt to reduce old cars on the road and revive the car industry in Malaysia by the FMCC.

Basically, you turn in your Honda CRX, your R32 Skylines, your first legendary Proton Saga with the Mitsubishi engine in it for the down payment of a *tin can car. Heck, RM5000 is the amount of money you'll probably get if you sell your car as scrap metal! And what if the next car in plan is neither a Proton or a Perodua? RM5000 voucher to clean your feces the day after? It better be a big piece of voucher then.

The engine and seats of a R32 Skyline is worth about the same of the amount offered already. Imagine trading a candy off a baby with a grain of sand! Even the infant will not accept such absurd trade!

A rattling old Toyota KE-70 in working condition costs at least RM5000, and that offer can only be found in East Malaysia. The only way I can imagine of in order to work the plan is that the government forbids cars aged 15 and above on the roads. But, Malaysia not yet ready changes of such scale due to the poverty rate in the country. Unless Malaysia runs out of sane people to run the government and hires some guy that is 60% bald, 80% drunk, and puts 100% of the blames onto his God. But then again, that happened already..


*tin can cars: Vehicles whose crumple zone is from the front bumper to the rear bumper. Crushes upon impact; no matter what the amount, something will break. Mainly Protons, Peroduas, Fords.

Act of Procrastination

Things never go as planned. Well, not for me at least. As another act of procrastinating my studies. I've uploaded more pictures onto photobucket.

More photos of Operation Amsterdam added! Link

Awsome!

Good things comes in a row!

First, I've got these:

These itself was enough to make my day. Thank you ;)

Then, Download sent me a mail. LED ZEPPELIN is playing for download festival!!

I'm still wondering why the heck Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance are on the main stage while Dream Theater on second while Led Zeppelin is on third stage. But heck, they're playing man! Wooohooo!

**Well, that was what i thought few hours ago at least.. I was wrong! Its LEZ Zeppelin. !@#&^%$%^& What kinda idiots name themselves after another rock band?! Freaking hell!

Anyway. New headphones got delivered. Cool.. Might not be the best yet. But for the price of 3 pounds with postage included. Not bad I must say. Old iPod headphone went "kapoof". Bass was totally out. Heck, I've suffered 2 months and I will not take it anymore.



Ticket back to KL confirmed. 11th of June. Will touch down at midnight. Bah Kut Teh right after arrival in plan.. *grin*

She just made me miss home even more..

Good day people! I had mine.

Operation Amsterdam

Amsterdam was about..

Windmills

Tulips

More windmills

More tulips

Occasionally some clogs

And heck load of nice scenery!

Yeah, go ahead, be a smart guy and guess what's their main transport around.

Clubbing the night before catching the mini bus to London was a bad idea. Stiff 90 degree seats means bobbling your head around for a few hours in the attempt to catch some sleep. Arrived at Royal London Hotel with neck stiffer than that tree trunk in the garden and joined the Contiki tour group.

Crossed the English channel with a 45 mins ferry ride to France, the country that build cars with quality like Proton, and headed on the Amsterdam. Whole trip took approximate 14 hours.

Hotel Inner Amsterdam.

They gave us this to point to the taxi drivers and go "uh-uhhh" while stoning.

The canal cruise was the first thing the tour offers. There are 88 canals in Amsterdam with water cleaner than the Klang river in many ways, canal buses are available for 26 euros per person. Given on tables of 4 or 6, a bowl of cheese and olives with chili, a small bottle of something that tasted like vodka Ribena and FREE FLOW OF BEER AND WINE.

and guess what, after all the beer and wine, Amsterdam provide you this is the place right in front of the Red Light District so you can release that pressure in your bladder. And just in case you feel shy, it can accommodate 4 person at once so you and your mates can do it together. How thoughtful. :)


Day 2 was about museums and all those cultural things. Basically free individual time for the whole day. Van Gogh Museum, Ann Frank House, Rijksmuseum, was among the famous ones but heck, with lines as long as the canals there, our alcohol soaked brains directed us to the Heineken Brewery for our "cultural experience" in Amsterdam. 11 euros per entry, 10 of which was subsidised by MASSOC. Thanks again! Did some monkeying around the park before heading to Heineken.

Put it this way, the sun was pretty bright that day.

m for MASSOC. The whole MASSOC Crew who went for the trip. Pardon that homeless looking gay guy on top of the "m".

3 chips for drinks and 1 white chip for souvenir.

Shut and don't comment on this picture!

This is how thousands of Heineken bottles looks like

And this is how it looks like when you're high on crack

A certain individual who got pretty offended by the fact that i exchanged my last chip for coke.

After Heineken was the Sex Museum, which I will not post any of the pictures up to keep this blog under "G" rating.

Day 3 was about Clog, Cheese, Flowers. Planned tour visits to the Clog and Cheese Factory, Cycled around the canal with an old bicycle that had no hand brakes. The only way to stop it was to reverse pedal. Apply too much pressure and you'll jam the brakes and fly forward, apply too little and you end up not stopping at all and head for a dive down the canal. Nice.. Pictures at the starting of this blog entry was taken at day 3 during the tours.

Headed back to London on day 4. Goodbye signs that I've got no idea what they say and hello English! Transportation across the English Channel was via the channel tunnel using the Eurostar train.

Yes, they fit buses as well, as below:

Now, how cool is that?!

Eurostar

View from inside the Eurostar:

Sure, every company in the world call themselve No. 1. Like, who wants to be the loser?

For those who asked for pictures of the Red Light District, although being one of the most liberal country in the world by legalising prostitution and soft drugs i.e. marijuana, photo taking is strictly prohibited for the sake of the privacy of individuals in the RLD.

But for the sake of you readers, I hereby attach a picture of some Red Light..


my disco mouse when it is red:

Red Light also, mah.

BACK!

Just got back. Need a bath, a shave and some lunch, but I just love my bed, I'm not moving man.. Not unless you pay me. Wouldn't move even if the ceiling falls. Yes, I am that lazy now. Updates, later, lah..

Extension Operation

Off to Amsterdam. And to London for another few days till the 12th. Will not be updating till then. Enjoy your day people!

Not me to do this but,
Miss Lim, *laughs* yeah, gonna miss you my dear.. =/ Missing you right this moment.

Check what on earth can you get by looking for Megasquirt tuning clips in youtube.

Star wars fans! check this out! (laughs like some nut)



Operation Amsterdam Invasion! Friday will be it. wohoo!

Tulips and windmills! Tulips and windmills!

School Bus 1 - Hummer 0

Think twice before saying Hummers are tough. They maybe big, but heck, they still turn into a pile of junk when they try to stop instantaneously.

Driver was injured but alive I guess.

This sorta strengthen my point on American automobiles: Junks.

No, wait, BIG pile of junks.

Kudos to the school bus manufacturer tho.

Facts of life: Work Escapes

People find the most interesting things when they are supposed to be working on something else. One might not find Bernoulli's equation interesting at all when they're free. But is able to find the most interesting website with animations explaining the whole equation. One might find some articles that he knew long existed but could never be bothered to read now interesting. One might even browse into sites that he'd probably will not even click on when he's free. The utmost boring article is now interesting!

I've relearned theories and shift techniques of "Dog-teeth" gearbox. I've stumble upon some page on Bernoulli's equation. I've so happen to drop into one of Prodrive's web page on accuracy. I've read about types of welding. I've found a few web pages about different types of engines, and I've found a few articles on physics of racing. I'm learning more stuff than I am supposed to by doing this same bloody tutorial sheet that I had been trying to finish for the pass 2 days. So much for willpower..

Good night people. Tomorrow will be a better day.
