London, London, Lon… ops
Britain, Britain, Britain… a country which smells like diesel, and the Tube has some problems somewhere everyday. Ahh… but what makes the people of Britain love this country, and tourists come here?
No, it isn’t this BMW X1 diesel displayed at O2 arena, but it is because…

I’ll be back… soon
Phew, August passed by without a single post, I ought to feel guilty huhu…
I perhaps should share with you all that I was doing a part-time job at MPH Bookstore Subang Parade. To be honest, working there gives me a very mixed feeling, I can’t tell whether I loved it or hated. It’s more like both, as I can’t deny each other’s points. I wanted to tell in more details about this, but I’m kinda afraid of the consequences, so I’ll close this matter here.
I have since resigned from it, only to get busy preparing for my raya trip to London, yeah!!
Malaysia Boleh, yeah!! MAS’ Boeing 747-400 MH002
My second sister, who works in Dublin is coming down as well, she’s basically the main purpose for this trip, as my family haven’t raya with her for… a while, yeap. It’s been 8 years since I last visited this place, it’s about time!! To date, Heathrow’s immigration is still very slow, I believe I had to wait about an hour queuing up to pass through it. It felt disappointing, as you’d expect a country which is more advanced than ours to be more efficient. Plus, it’s their gateway to the world, having a slow immigration clearance is to give a bad first impression for foreigners. I now can trust the award KLIA received better, although it still has room to improve. Which is why KLIA is the 7th best airport in the world at the moment, sadly, since it was 4th the previous year…
Earlier that day, while buying stuffs at Bazaar Ramadhan, I came across my former classmate. It’s been awhile since I last saw him, and now when we finally met, I was shocked to find out that we’re going to raya at the same city and in the same flight. So I did some catching up, and I guess the next time I have a yumcha session, I ought to notify him, hehehe.
Back to London, the weather to date, is pretty cold, but only as cold as an air-conded building in Malaysia. As for Hari Raya aka Eid Mubarak, it’s quite an experience celebrating it with Malaysians here. It feels like I’m back in Malaysia, the food, the people, the language, so it didn’t feel too bad.
One massive problem I’m facing now is lack of charger for the camera. I really should’ve listened to myself, that is to just bring the charger from home. No, I had to be foolish enough to believe my eldest sister that told me my 2nd sister will bring the charger, which she did, until I discovered that it couldn’t fit, despite both of us use Canon Ixus cameras. Worse still, my second sister forgot to bring her camera… *facepalm*
This problem had to solved soon… by ebay.co.uk!! Will update more soon. Later~~
Happy Eid Mubarak 2009!!

My comp and my advice
My computer is broken since almost two weeks ago, the mobo was completely irrepairable. This has cut down the time I could go online significantly, as if it is already not troublesome enough for me to go online right now with my mom nagging on how I’m probably developing gay feelings to Anwar. To her, the internet = all things Anwar… and maybe cars and computer games, which will turn you into a being worse than mat rempit. Wargh…… I can’t facebook, lowyat, paultan, other blogs, etc. Terribly sorry if I appear “dead”, but it seems so until I can get a replacement.

Buy Proton lah…
I just had a drink with my friend, and he told me his father planned to get him a brand new car below or around RM90k.
Unfortunately, having owned a Gen.2 before (which was abused very badly), his father is reluctant to get him another Proton (his current ride is a 2nd hand Honda Civic). There goes the Satria Neo CPS… or a Persona… or Gen.2 CPS… or Saga… Argh…
How about a Perodua Myvi? Nope, it’s underpowered, ugly, handling of a boat, thirsty, it’s just rubbish.
Toyota dugong? Nope, it’s too ugly I’d rather be gay with Mariya-san. <3
Honda City? Urgh, God it's bloody expensive and THAT UGLY GRILLE!! Besides, my friend wants to try avoid Hondas as its maintenance cost is killing him. Now who was it that said Japmobiles spare parts are cheap again?
Nissan Latio? Hmm… hmm… hmm….
Suzuki Swift? Sounds right. But there's the worry of second-hand value, maintenance cost and spare parts availability. And somehow there's a feeling you could've got something better. Like Satria Ne– Argh……
Maybe Korean– Err… right, that sounds like saying Malaysians drive as civilised as the British drivers…
Maybe the Peug 308, but his dad might refuse to get a conti…
How much was the cheapest Mazda3 again…
Zzzz……
Or maybe his father should buy himself a car and pass on the Ford Escape to him. Get a Ford Focus or something.
Hmm… that's the best option aside from buying a Proton, cuz all Japmobiles now feel like rip-offs. Though unlikely. Argh…

Very Japanese… NOT!!
Somehow, Paul Tan made me want to post this too.
How hard can it be to park properly? “Emergency” excuse is sooo lame…
Responses from Paul’s Low Yat thread suggested these cars deserve scratches, even puncturing the radiator. Then the owner replied he/she wanted Paul to blur the plate number, I’d say I’LL SATSUGAI YOU FUCKING BITCH PIG!! YOU’LL BE KRAUSER-SAN’S SACRIFICE!!
Double parking is another annoyance. Thankfully, the one time a double parker blocked my friend’s car, the owner left his card on the dash, so I rang the owner. Bloody Myvi, it should be satsugai-ed too.
Ah, Malaysian drivers. They reckon they’re fucking good driving their Japmobile around. But,
1. They don’t drive like Japanese drivers.
2. They’re not honorific enough to seppuku for their sins, despite “Japanising” their ride.
3. It’s a model made to insult other Asians.
4. Somebody said City developed in Thailand, n praises Thailand for being open n blablabla. Yayayaya, just another excuse to say “Proton go close shop”. So Persona is a “Gen.2 with butt job” to them, but City ain’t “Jazz/Fit with butt job”?
5. Persona > City > Dugong
6. Malaysia > Thailand. There’s too many traps in Thailand. She’s haw– O shi– IT’S A TRAP!!
7. New City is just no. Nonono.
On side note, I wonder if I should go to Blood: The Last Vampire party… Free Kenny Roger’s n Starbucks sounds… hmm……

A pl-Exora of excitement
There seemed to be a slight increase in traffic to my blog on 15th, I suppose TJCC-ers are curious abt what I have to say abt Exora? Hehe 
Well, I missed the launching event at KLCC, gotta prepare for a presentation on 16th. Nevertheless, I did catch up the live telecast on TV1. It started with a speech by their chairman, Datuk Nadzmi which was rather serious n “protocol-ish” if there’s such a word. Najib slept ala Pak Lah at one point, that I definitely saw ehehe. Next came his turn to give a speech which I just skipped. Finally, when DSZ came to stage, it’s beginning to get interesting. Others describe it as world-class, Steve Job-like, which I agree. He knows how to break the barrier between the men in ties n some random student multitasking his work n watching the tv to witness a historic moment. We feel connected. He’s showing charisma. He’s showing humility. He’s showing a true winner’s way of success. And here’s my reply: BRAVO!!!
The next day, throughout the day at the college, the majority didn’t know abt Exora at all, let alone know that it was launched just yesterday, zzzz where’s the support? =.= One even said she thinks proton only knows how to copy toyota wish. Em, right, except that she can’t even tell what in the world is Campro CPS, Lotus handling, BCM, etc.
Doesn’t matter. The buyers aren’t student anyway. It’ll be for people with family on a budget without wanting to feel shortchanged. For what it offers, Exora is extremely value for money, so that’s a good start.
Today, I went to the SS14 showroom to check out the Exora with my friend (who recently bought a Satria Neo with WSL plate number). He was heartbroken on arrival to see a Saga with WSM plate number, ahahaha. Anyway, on to the Exora.
Wherever I sit in it, I feel comfortable and spacious. The plastics seems better than Gen2/Persona IMHO, well, I’m not really sure. I’ve heard stories of designers going to international motorshows (including Azlano ehehe) to study materials used by rivals’ car, so I suppose what is in Exora is the result of a lot of thoughts put into it. On to the seats, I can see from the pics there’s black strips among the greyness of the leather, and to my surprise, it feels like alcantara. Can anyone slap me please? The kinda materials used for Brabus and emm… a lot of exclusive cars are available in a Proton? How much cooler can it get?
Much have been said abt it being underpowered. Weighing 1420kg, bt powered by a 1.6L Campro CPS with 125hp. Yawn… the thing is, who cares? Ppl seem to be okay putting tens of thousands of their money on Beruktua Rusa, Toyotard Avanza, Chery what’s-that-name-edi, bt it’s suddenly a sin for Proton to do so. Heh.
Well, that’s all I can think of abt Exora. Will edit this post if say, I get to test drive it with Paul. Kalau jadi la.

Bad tokmoh bad…
Darn, November passed by without a post. Anyway, Some quickies on what happened since the last post:
- Top Gear Season 12 is teh secks.
- Jeremy Clarkson’s Thriller is ultimately all about the CLK AMG Black
- I have Rowling’s latest book, “The Tales of Beedle the Bard”, but hardly time to read it (still stuck at page 25 -_- ). My next post will definitely be a review on it.
- Congrats to Datuk Ahmad Fuad on being the mayor of KL 
What a reverse, Datuk Ab Hakim is MPSJ’s President after you, and now you’re the mayor of KL after him lol. Zati mesti heppi ye uncle datuk, ehehehe.
- I got a Canon MP145 for RM185 at a warehouse sale in USJ1. Recently, PC Fair sold it for RM199 + 4GB Toshiba USB + Canon backpack + Canon French designed hand n face towel. Now if I can oni get all those for RM14….. T_T And my, I see more ppl getting Canon than other all-in-one printer compared to the last PC Fair…. Lexmark, HP, Epson, Brother, what happened? Oh yeah, getting pwned by Canon, muahahahaha.
- I broke tradition by attending PC Fair on a Saturday rather than the usual Sunday. Fortunately, I was the 2nd last customer to own the CISS system. It was for just RM120 n it was selling like hot cake, yeah!! Now I can go for a print whore, muahahahaha.
- Who cares if there’s a fatwa to ban yoga? And dear ulamas, there’s just no stupider way to get publicity than to show how friggin narrow-minded you are. So quit it. It wouldn’t make a difference anyway.
- I am not the only Malay(sian) that thinks it’s all right if a non-malay becomes the PM, cuz seriously, all I care is he/she buat kerja. Properly.
- Datuk Nizar, you disappoint me…. as an engineer, you really shud do something abt the Perdana V6 rather than “changing your lifestyle”. If you want to, err…..no, I reckon you MUST meet Datuk Syed Zainal face-to-face. He can be reached at 03-80269669 or syedzainalabidin@proton.com
- I am addicted to Rie Fu’s latest single, Romantic. That short hair style however, doesn’t suit you IMHO, Rie Fu-chan~ <3.
- BUAT KERJA (do my work)!! So that’s all for now. I’ll be back next week perhaps, when my assignments can finally get out of the way =.= ….
Hmm….. so many datuks in my post…..
