Planning

Well I finally got the chance to send my bike (jaguh) to the workshop last Tuesday evening. This time I took the chance to change the sprockets for my bike (sizes 15;39) together with new chains. It said on many forums, that a jaguh can achieve high speed with this choice of sprockets. Did it make a change? Well not sure coz I found out that I was already using this sizes of sprockets =P. Since the back wheels was off, the brake shoes was also replace for safety, no use going fast but you can’t stop it. Then a must for each service is a oil change, the wonderful thing about my jaguh is, every time I enter the bike shop in Ampang, the aunty will always ask me (if nothing wrong, just change the oil enough)hehe, this bike is good coz the only real maintainers is the engine oil. Yes the others like chain, tyres, batteries and all that is also something to check, but for normal servicing, only the engine oil. Not like my car or ninja, very the sensitive.

 Yes, my bike do take 1 ½ bottles of black oil (Shell), but it’s always happy to know the engine will run smoother with it =) . and when all was done, the guy started my bike, and it was like yeah!!! Normally that the que to leave but I was somewhat not satisfied. I turn to aunty and ask for the price for the carburettor, she gave me to prices, (Japan = RM6++ / Thailand = RM3++). I’m not telling you what I took, but after installing it, I was happy =)

Riding home was great, and had an awesome idea... ROAD TRIP!!!

This also was because this coming Saturday was Labour day, and it’s one of those Saturday that I was not working. Hence it was like an window of opportunity to explore and enjoy riding. At 1^st, I was thinking of bringing a load of people, especially my partner in crime, SOYA!! Then I realize she should rest after her trip from JB.. so I guess this should be a solo ride. Well where to go? Maybe Port Dickson, they have the new rooftop Go-Kart place at Ocean Mall, or Melaka can visit Seow family, then again those places are comment to my memory. 

There are other places like the cost of Pahang, Terengganu is an unexplored territory for me, ideas came in with facebooks announcement for a trip around Malaysia. And I must say, a healthy number of replies it was. THANKS YOU GUYS!!

So today, (Thursday, 29 April 2010) I have decided to set a cource and travel to Kuantan (Pahang), Terengganu, Ipoh, and back home to Ampang. I give myself 2days (Friday and Saturday) to complete the 1200KM road trip. Coming with me on this trip will be my Jaguh (champion) bike, my Olympus DSLR, IPod, Nokia Phone, and a tent “just in case”.

This will be my 1^st time riding so far, 1^st time travelling to the west coast, and alone. So do wish me luck and pray for my safe journey. I will do my best to record as much as i can, and we will view them soon.

Again thanks for reading, till next time TAKE CARE and Keep SMILLING!!!

Moving forward, remember the past

this video was nothing I expected on facebook today.
even without subtitles, the body language, and the tone of voice and music made sense to me.

We all grow in life, and each time we grow we look forward to what’s ahead of us. sometimes we look so far ahead we forget who is there for us in the pass... or even now. Remember your love ones even if u don’t see them much. even if you will never see them at all, remember them. They are always in your heart, "understand?" We love you.

here you have a short trailer of little note, but if you have the chance to watch the 15min short story, you will "understand" more.

future plans for My CORDIA

Today we have pictures!!!
 tones and tones of pictures.

Now after spending RM2++ at Panjang show (car workshop) for this like;
1) back wheel bearing
2) Service (change engine oil)
3) wipers (front and back)

The car does run better and the cacat extra exozz sound from the back is now gone!!!

Then a visit to Chat Auto (another workshop) we did some more stuff;
1) change all four absorbers (improve suspensions)
2) change all the belts in the engine
3) added clutch oil

The ride does well much better now, tentulah! it cost me RM9++ liow eh!!!

Still, if I load parents(both mom and dad) and kak siti, the car will suffer, OMG. the car is for 2 people only lor.

anyways, next time i send the car to Chat will be for ;
1) steering bar
2) back axel
3) engine mounting
4) strut cover
this stuff will cost me somewhere about RM900 - 1k plus... =P


well, at least I know what I’m getting, New parts and its parts that are aftermarket too...

OK, now for the outside.

I have plans,
and I have choices ,  to keep it simple or make big changes.... not sure what to do yet.

well, let me show you what I mean.

 this above are the original pictures of my current car, CORDIA.

And this is a sketch version cool right. and from this i added possible design onto the existing cars.

and below you will see possible options for the cars.

the simple yet sporty look

 More body kits and a more modern car,

the side sketch version 

simple and still sporty

big bumper with skyline backlights.

finaly i have the front end

the front sketch version

 simple sporty front.

sporty and big!!!

Well, there you have it. drawings of the possible looks for my Cordia.
now it’s to keep it simple or make a drastic make-over.

Keeping it simple will be cheaper and will be able to keep the original sporty look.

but at this time we are also able to upgrade it to a more modern look.

 

Fishing.. for Prawns =P

I have never tot of spending hard earn money on something where "You pay to catch your own meal or even give it to someone" like fishing... even more for prawns. 

That all change when Soya ajak me for a night out with Kit for some prawn fishing. At 1st, I was like (spend money for this???) well let’s just give it a chance to have this new experience. I do go fishing sometimes.. but never paid for it.. and this is prawn's... =) new mah so just DWIT!!!

this is something so cute on Soya car key-chain (I have one too), and next to it is a COOL Mits Triton (cool bodykit for a 4X4)

and now a picture where sea water (saltwater) fill pond that looks like diluted Nescafe water that was filled with Prawns. 

  

 what happen during the few hours there, well look below and you will find out.

now, this is from the efforts of 3 people, (Kit "the SIFU", Soya and ME!!)

and below we have the owner.. this the cool thing, he is skinny , young and started this business from a hobby.. he looks like ALVIN!!!

haha, it was great and being this my 1st time experienceing praw fishing i will give this a 4/5 star (coz you pay and still get to enjoy your cheach) hehe.

anyways, to the HEROSE that night, thank you!!!

blogging again

its been awhile since i last posted anything updates on my car, the lion dance group or even anything.
Well its about to change, posting will be back and more updates coming out real soon.

 just a sneak peek of whats coming out soon,
my car's update, mechanically and also in design. (the future look). Also look out for the details of lion dance practice for 2010 (we have big plans and we are going to make it happen). my journey around ... well anywhere. =)

For today let me post some pictures of my last SCP & SLP classes for Jan-March 2010. I miss them already.

Stay focus on your OUTCOME and keep smiling guys!!!

My New Old Car, or is it a My OId New Car??? Anyways its MINE =)

Many of you will know that I’m a biker type of guy (not from the looks) because i own motorbikes and not a car. Well I do enjoy riding, it gives you that happy feeling with the wing in your face and open view (must have)

still there are some days that i just wish I was not on a bike, Like when its super Rainy and your rushing to somewhere (getting wet is not always fun). and those times when you wanted to bring more than 1 person out with you... not all a good thing to have a bike.. only.

That is why i when out SHOPPING.... not what you will expect to do in a mall, but more to checking websites for a well price, good looking (2door) and road worthy car. A car is another Bike with extra 2 more wheels and many more steel panels around it with doors and a much bigger engine.. not that much different to a bike right... yeah right (HEHE)

 So after so so so .... sososososo..sososososos...soooooooooooooooooo (you get the point) long.. I finally got one. 

This here is a Mitsubishi Cordia 1.6, a 4 speed Manual (this means its only have 4 gears) and a special thing about the gears are also it has a high speed gear and a economy gear (like a turbo stick or something). it’s a front wheel drive and its older then me by a year (1984). Even with the age of this car, body is still pretty good and the engine is running great. The air-conditioning is super cold (thanks to dad for helping me with that, I was super busy with work). 

What are the future plans for this car???

- 1st will be to make sure all is well with the car so doing a service for the engine will be good

- not sure but next will be to get the suspensions check out and maybe change all 4 sides to have a comfortable ride with still great stability.

- Will need to send the car for bodywork, to get the rust parts out and make sure the undercarriage is well protected..

- Colour for the car, Ya'tze like's the old colour (abit of gold-ish like that)

- maybe even put somebody kit on it and make it look pimp-out!!! yeah man!

- yeah, maybe add in a DVD player with some speakers to enjoy some radio time (it’s been so long) hehe

Well, it’s going to be a work in progress.... will update more when more work was done. till then thanks for reading.

Stay Cheerful and let love take care of the rest

life is a journey,
 and in this journey there are good times and there are hard times.
