Yang Mana Satu?

Mari buat hutang baru!

My wife & I memang minat Legacy despite orang kata macam kete mayat :D. Some ingat kete Korea (Kia Rio... apekah?!)

Forester ada 2 version 2.0 (auto) dgn 2.5 (manual). Enjin boxer kedua kereta Subaru ni menyebabkan aku fikir banyak kali.

AirTrek is in the list sebab AirTrek is the cheapest to get. Cuma banyak yang available dah cecah 100K dah mileage dia. Occasionally, ada jugak yang baru 50K - 70K mileage available. Aku dah congak, kalau aku angkat AirTrek ni, dump in RM30K d/p, loan around 4 - 4.5% ambik 5 tahun, instalment is around RM 1K.

Memang dah lama jadi idaman. GT-4 N-Spec nye specifically :D. Ada banyak jugak available unreg & 2nd.

Latest by March 2011. Harap2 takde aral melintang.

Tajuk2 artikel yg kerap diisi dlm majalah 'muda-mudi'. Being a 'senior guy' [eceh], all I can say is it's a bunch of 'total crap'! Nothing new... cuma rehash, copy paste, ubah struktur ayat and then sell to the public. Nothing more. The writers must've watched too many romantic [comedy] movies. Too much fantasy! Maybe have been through one or two relationship... while some may have no experience at all.

That's why aku prefer artikel yg mcm bawah ni... lagi realistik :)

• Men ARE NOT mind readers.
  
  
• Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
  
  
• Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
  
  
• Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
  
  
• Crying is blackmail.
  
  
• Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
  
  
• 'Yes' and 'No' are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
  
  
• Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
  
  
• A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
  
  
• Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
  
  
• If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
  
  
• If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one .
  
  
• You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
  
  
• Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
  
  
• Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
  
  
• ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
  
  
• If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
  
  
• If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
  
  
• If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
  
  
• When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine…Really.
  
  
• Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.
  
  
• You have enough clothes.
  
  
• You have too many shoes.
  
  
• I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

Planned project for next year

Kit that will be used: Tamiya's 1/12 scale Rover Mini

To do list :

1. Rim swap. Have to source for Mini's steel rim with hubcap in 1/12 scale. Worst case scenario I have to modify the kit's rim.


2. Lose the fender lips and sportlight. The kit is Rover's Mini so the the badge need to be changed too.


3. Scratchbuild Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) figure.


4. Scratchbuild the sofa, mop, teddy and stuff inside the Mini. Some rigging work need to be addressed.

Right now I'm still sourcing for reference and material.

Persistence or downright annoying?

The thing I don't like about shopping in hypermarket is the Credit Card Promoter thats hanging around by the cashier and approached you once you've made your payment.

I hold one credit card (supplementary btw!) and have no intention of adding another. One is enough for me. The 'offered package' is quite interesting too. 1 night stay at luxury hotel, fuel rebates, discounts at selected merchants, heck, some even have 'trial period' which you can 'cancel' if you're not satisfied with the package. <- better read the fine lines here!

Some of these promoter went to the extent of begging you to sign up for their credit card. Being a 'gentleman' I usually try to politely decline but in some cases, I found myself on the verge of shouting at them. NO MEANS NO!

Haircut session @ Uncle Valar

While waiting for his turn, Ilyas browsing thru a few magazines. Seen here with Bollywood magazine called 'Stardust'.

Yusuf made an attempt to disguise himself as Master Q :) .

Yusuf can't stop squirming when the barber cuts his hair.

VTEC just kicked in, yo!

Yamaha Warehouse Sale 24-25 July 2010

Saturday,

Went to Yamaha Music Warehouse Sale @ Kelana Jaya. Primary objective was to get a double paddle set for my drum kit. Only a couple of box left... with 40% discount. Unfortunately it was out of my budget. I was expecting around RM7XX; so with heavy heart I have to pass the double paddle kit. Maybe next time. I did, however, left the warehouse sale with a couple of cymbals.

Sabian B8 20 inch Ride

Sabian AAX Chinese Cymbal

But there is, however, there's one cymbal that caught my attention. I wanted to get it but again, budget constrain gets in the way. This is actually the ride cymbal that I wanted.

Sabian Paragon 22 inch Ride Cymbal

Oh well, better save up for next warehouse sale. I'm thinking of getting the Yamaha Hex drum rack system.

Models: Judge Dredd (Movie version)

After sitting in storage for three years, I've decided to proceed with completing this kit. It was given to me by a friend, an experienced modeller, who have lost his interest to work on this kit. The kit is missing one part, the second half of the right hand (read: have to scratchbuild!). As of last night, the kit is still at the most tedious stage: puttying and sanding.

Things to do:

Scratchbuild Dredd's badge to use as backdrop.

Create a worn out look on the base by adding some scraps, rust, stain, scratches, dents and dings,etc.

Lighting effect from under the base - lights will be peeking through the grill holes. Which means, I have to drill out each and every one of the grill holes.

I have given myself a 3 week deadline to complete this build (24th July).

Git 'R' Done!

Supa Strikas!
