Lexus LFA vs Nissan GTR
Yes, Lexus LFA indeed beat Nissan GTR in the drag race, at a close gap too. However, you have to be reminded that the price of the Lexus and Nissan is a huge difference!! $400k vs $80k. By the way, did the spoiler in the Lexus raise by itself? Hmmm....Anyway, below, from TopGear...

Internet back and brief updates
Yes!!! It is finally back. I haven't been able to online for the past 1 week or so? Finally made an appointment with the technician for Streamyx. They came, disconnect all other phone cords at my house and yes!! I can go online again.They say that I need a splitter for every other phone in the house. The fact is that I have been using one splitter only, which is for the line I use to connect to the modem. They told me that probably it is because TM or Telekom Malaysia has upgraded the service.
Yea. Its an UPGRADE which gives me trouble. I have to get few more splitters. I just hope that TM can brief the users when they upgrade their service. It is a human right to get Internet access. See here. LoL. Anyway, their customer service centre is quite good though. After you complained, they will keep track of you and check whether your problem is fixed.
Anyway, just some brief updates for the past few weeks. Full version coming soon. =)
- Participated in 9th IVAQ in MMU

- Attended Sunday class
- Launching of Ferrari 458 Italia
By the way, Mercedes SLS has arrived at Malaysia showrooms!!
Vehicle Recalls??
It seems to be the trend for car manufacturers to recall their cars this year.
Toyota -- The acceleration pedal won't come back up after you stepped on it and the car accelerates on its own. Although Toyota claimed that they have fixed the problem, there are some reports that the fix is not working. See here
Honda -- The (Jazz)car windows are not well waterproof, causing water to enter the power window and cause small fire. And some cars having airbag problem, which dates back to year 2001.
Hyundai -- Airbag problem.
GM -- Steering problem
Nissan -- Brake pin and fuel gauge problems.
On the other hand, there isn't any recall by Proton in 2010. Yes! Although one may say that Proton looks yucky, cheap, etc, at least there is no fatality caused unless you drive fast and BANG!! MALAYSIA BOLEH!!
Results...
Yes! I pass my exams for the December 2009 and I am still on the way to finish the course by this year. However, my marks give me a small chance to get a First-class degree. Aiks... Have to get an A for my thesis and the chance of getting an A is very slim, according to my friend...
The subject which I am most worried about turns out to be average while the subject which I am quite confident about just barely pass.. 2 marks to fail. Phew!!
Anyway, life goes on.. Talk about thesis later in the second semester... Now, time to strive for the papers I am currently taking now.
Special thanks to my lecturers....Cheers!!

30th and 31st Jan 2010
30th Jan 2010
We had a surprised party for WeiHoong and, distance-celebration for KokMun and farewell of Suet Yee at Chillis, MidValley. WeiHoong saw us and... smile in a way which I can't describe. Before WeiHoong arrived, we ordered food already and the food is ready as soon as he arrived. Wonder why didn't order together. LoL. I ordered something called hot honey crispy chicken. I have forgotten the name. (-.-") Anyway, the pics of the dish is on the menu itself, once you flipped to the page for "chicken". It was spicy and make your tongue hot!! Phew....
The cake... Chocolate Banana. Chocolate Indulgence a NO.. It seemed to be too common already and Brian agreed. In the end, we chose Chocolate Banana. Here comes another problem... the wordings on the cake. We managed to fit everything. Thanks to the staff in Secret Recipe!! =D
Next, to the cinema. Watched Legion and all of us were late for 5 minutes. Who can tell me how does the movie start off?!!
There is a character which looks a lot like Hann Jiunn and all of us agreed and laugh in the cinema itself!! The storyline of the movie is below normal... Angels-possesed human vs Angel + human . The message in the movie though is this: Have faith in what you believed in, and everything will turn good?
After cinema...left MV and farewell....Pics and vids are with WaiShan and SuetYee and posted@Facebook...
~Thanks to Brian for being my driver for the day~
31th Jan 2010
Today, marked the 1st anniversary of the 2009 CNY house hopping. Time flies.. Will there be another one this year?
Wangsa Walk Mall
Wangsa Walk Mall, the mall that started business about 5 months back. Not much to shop there though. The shop I visit the most is none other than Popular Bookstore >.< Sad isn't it? The interior is full of slopes and staircases, since the mall is built on a slope.
There are around 4 restaurants/ cafe there, namely TGI Fridays, Secret Recipe, Little Wok Kitchen..... Some shops selling
- clothes, including Rip Curl,
- watches,
- shoes-XES Studio, MYS Collection
- books and stationery - Popular
- Sports equipment
- healthcare products - GNC
- mobile phones, computer equipment, broadband services....
- music instruments - Yamaha
- pets, I think
- daily needs - Cold Storage
- hair salon - Silver Cut, Miko
- eyewear - Focus Point, Milano..
- Celebrity Fitness
- Slimming Sanctuary
- Laundry services
- Bowling - Wangsa Bowl
- Karaoke - SuperStar Karaoke and Song Box
- Cinema - TGV, coming soon...
Although it is not much to shop, but I think it is quite a complete mall. However, there is a bad publicity of it not long after it started business. For the news, click here.
911 Staged by US itself? Whistle blower policy for PKA
Malaysia's former prime minister has done it again!! He claims that 911 is staged as an excuse to invade the Middle East. Wow! Indeed, there are many perspective on how you see things.
Why don't we have a thought on why is the government so keen in cutting the subsidies (sugar, fuel) and introduce taxes( Real property gain tax and GST). Is it that Malaysia reserve is depleting soon? Or it is just that they aimed to lower down the the fiscal deficit?
On the other occasion, the transport minister has announced that whistle-blower policy is set out to be used in the controversial Port Klang Authority(PKA) incident. It will soon implemented to the other port authorities. This is a good move by the ministry.
However, this policy should also be implemented to the other companies as well to help early detection of any fraud in companies . It can help to minimize the loss of investors of the company.
The people have to have the courage to become a whistle blower as well. Some may have the mentality that, "I am getting my pay for now. If I report, I may lose my job. Why should I report it?"
Lexus LFA
First ever supercar made my Lexus, a Japan luxury car manufacturer. 10years taken before this car is finally launched.
The 3 exhaust pipes together form a triangular shape. UNIQUE!!!
The speedometer is extremely cool!!
The official video
Top Gear BBC reviewing it
Some of the specs:
4.8L V10 Engine
Carbon fibre body
Top speed: 202mph / 325kph
0-60miles in 3.6sec
Price: All I can say is that it is worth 2 or 3 Nissan GTRs.
Buffet Lunch at The Living Room, Westin
Dimsum
Pasta in carbonara sauce, tomato is available as well. The carbonara sauce is very nice.
Some dimsum and some fried food
Lok-lok? Yong tau foo is available as well...
Chicken soup
Mushroom soup I think... Doesn't suit me
Indian and chinese food plus some rojak
Ice Cream! But not Haagen- Dazs or Baskin Robbins.
Hmm.. Aren't sure what is the cooking style. A little like teppanyaki.
Waffle
Breadstick, papaya, honeydew and marshmallows...
Cappuccino
The Living Room
There are many choices of food in this buffet. The food shown above are roughly 65% of all food served. Due to the size of my stomach, thats the limit of food I manage to put into my stomach. The environment is quite peaceful and quiet.
Marks given: 8/10
Food and Sugar
How do you define good food?
(A) Food that is nice, tasty, with meat and which may cause you to have diabetes, high blood pressure and other diseases after consuming them for many years,
OR
(B) Food that is dull, tasteless, lots of green, which allow you to live a healthier life?
Anyway, speaking of diabetes, our government is now concerned about it. One of the ways to reduce diabetes is reducing sugar consumption, thus the subsidies are cancelled off. List of items that will be more expensive: Sugar (-.-") , teh tarik, coffee, bread, cakes, iced lemon tea, Coca-cola and so on... Well, it is still a good move.
Many of us would think that sugar cause diabetes. Of course!! However, we should take note of carbohydrate as well since carbohydrate will be broken down into glucose, which is a type of sugar also. Does that mean that the government is gonna raise the price of rice, which is a huge supplier of carbohydrate? I don't think so...
New Year, New Hope, New Resolutions...
Happy new year everyone! Quite a special new year eve this year by spending it with friends. First time. Thanks to YeeTheng for inviting us to her house.
So, resolution for 2010:
Graduate by the end of the year? This can be quite saddening. Leaving
Other than that, no more I think..... Unless trying not to be single? LoL.. Happy new year and enjoy 2010!!
2 years to go to the end of the world...
Proton is cheaper in UAE than in Malaysia?
I read somewhere that Proton are selling their cars cheaper in the UAE ( maybe in other countries also), compared to Malaysia. It is claimed that the prices are set that low for market penetration. Anyone here knows about this?
Market penetration pricing. Seems like Proton cars are selling at a much higher profit margin to Malaysians than the other countries (not proven of it). And here I thought that national cars should be sold cheaper in their own country?
No matter how ridiculous it seems, Malaysians will still be buying the not so cheap(same quality?) Protons. or maybe PERODUA!!
Milk produced in Malaysia is just wasted away?
Recently, I heard that about RM20+ of milk which is produced in Malaysia was just poured away. It seems that the manufacturers who need milk as their material prefer imported milk due to a cheaper pricing. Hence, the milk was left to turn sour and just poured away. What a waste..
Why can't the price be lowered down to match with the competition? And minimise the loss as well. It is said that the government plans to set a quota that the manufacturers must buy local milk before buying those imported ones. Another protective mechanism. This is perhaps why Malaysia cannot compete with the other countries. Just let the business owners make losses. Definitely, they will think of ways to make profit, thus increasing the competition and improving Malaysia.
It is the same case as Proton? Why can't Proton manufacture a supercar, when they have a subsidiary which does it and is entering F1 in 2010. Till date, they only show us "Lotus handling". Something like that...
Mercedes E- Class W212
Yes, this is the new Mercedes Benz E Class W212. This is the colour which is used in advertisements. I guess this is the best colour afterall. The front lights have been changed to rectangle-ish from oval shape, making it more ferocious? The oval shaped lamps have been used for 2 generations already. However, the concept of "1 big 1 small" front light is still preserved. The fog light, which is like an "L" is quite new to me. Besides, the signal light at the side mirrors are like forks, instead of a rectangle in the older version. From here, the rear looks a bit like the S-class.
A silver Merc E class
Price of an Mercedes Benz E300: RM450k++
Ampang Look out Point
Sorry for the late post. Went to Ampang Look Out Point on 9/10 to celebrate YeeHao, WenJing and ChengHong's birthdays. 3 birthdays, celebrate in one go XD. Had dinner in Gasoline.
KarHoe's car while we gathered at the Shell petrol kiosk near Ampang. It seemed like the order of the " car following arrangement" is messed up. Time to rearrange which car following which car...
The view of KL... City of light?
Our tables.. Many tables and chairs to accommodate many people
Tsk, additional RM2 without ice...
Group Photo!!
Ordered mushroom chicken chop. Something like that. It tasted just acceptable. However, there is a breach in health and safety regulations? I saw a chef preparing the salad, taking the vege, without gloves on, just bare hands?
~Sorry for the super-lateness~
