Interestin Weekend..!!!

i had a great weekend... fulled of things to do till i had not enough rest..

starting from Friday night.. after work n bout time to go home..found out that Scarface's battery was flat.. had it jump started with the help of my colleague's ride.. hell lucky he was still around.. then managed to got home.. next morning.. needed to jump start the car again n sent it for battery replacement..

after that.. gone to Low Yat n bought this Christmas present for my gf.. hmm.. mp4 player.. 1GB in memory.. n there;s a 2" tft screen.. love it coz it looks nice n had another spare battery..

then off i visited cold storage.. bought some junkies.. n back to my office to chill.. in my office i had the mp4 player set n filled it with songs... then i got saw nicole gone online..

chat with her for some time n she invited me over for dinner.. Alicia her sister was gonna cook.. so all hell.. i agreed n off i bumped their apartment.. had a nice simple dinner prepared by alicia n nicole.. n had some chats with them and their 2 housemates whom they claimed are BBMC .. i thought what the hell.. THANX to the great hostess alicia n nicole.. wonderful dinner..

clock struck 8pm shit,.. headed to mr. beemer's place to place Scarface there.. u see on the next day Scarface will be opened up n have its cylinder head gasket changed.. so we cant do that if the engine is still warm/hot.. so there i left Scarface.. n mr beemer send me to LRT station..tmn bahagia one.. took the LRT n head to Pasar Seni.. crossed Petaling St.. checking out some chicks while heading to the station for a bus ride home... ended up reaching my place at bout 10 30 pm..
watched a movie after washing up.. n slept at 1 am.. n bout 7 30 am.. mr beemer smsed... asked me to get there early so that we can have breakfast... got up n had a quick clean up.. n off.. to the bus route waiting for bus..

n bloody hell.. it took me one hr n a half on an early sunday morning to reach tmn bahagia LRT St.. public transport .. yea right.. that;s like a bus ride plus 2 LRT rides.. gosh ..government u need to do something better..

then after breakfast with mr & mrs beemer and another customer Brian.. we are back to the war zone to fight against car problems..

Scarface was already in the middle of action as mr. beemer's freelance mech was there early.. so by the time i got there.. Scarface was already half way getting stripped.. the entire process took 6 hours or so.. n got some pics of the work in the next post.. after the gasket changing job.. mr. beemer continued with engine fushing n engine oil change plus coolant flushing..

after all that.. Scarface is ready to go higher revs again.. lol... hehehe.. Thanx to mr. beemer and Tan (the mech) for all that... patience poured unto my car...and the breakfast as well.. n the cool ride in the 500 bhp M3 ..

Oh My..! It has been 4 months n 12 days...

oh my .. i havent been blogging for so long.. hehehe..

hmm.. guess i should filled it up with what had i done or happened to be in this extended period of time..

hmm.. not going to brag bout my 'going to work', 'eat', 'sleep' n 'tv' routine.. so.. something a lil more interesting..

oh ok.. Oct n Nov.. hasnt been so kind with me.. found out that i need to work on Scarface.. (for those who are not familiar with him, he's my car).. Scarface wasnt that healthy.. he suffered failing absobers, broken muffler and the worst of all.. cylinder head gasket needs to be replaced.. aih.. so much had/have to pay...

up to today i had fixed the muffler n the absorbers.. well actually half of the set.. i just did the rear absorbers as the front still able to stand for a few more months.. i hope.. absorbers.. ehhehe.. after much thought n consultation with my WAC fellow members.. decided to go with the cheap local product called APM PerforMax.. it was nitrogen gas filled n claimed Japan design absorber.. hmm.. a bit hard though compares to the stock ones i had.. but so far so good.. it keeps the ride from bouncing like a yo-yo now.. nothing much to brag about really.. just NORMAL..

oh yea.. before that i had a rear lower arm link bar installed too.. it was of Zenden product.. hmm.. looks nice.. in RED suits my black Scarface.. for information.. WiSE black comes with some red theme... err.. no pics yet.. mayb some other time..

oh kay.. now the muffler.. the previous muffler.. stock of Proton's vendor LifeLong.. (i really think they should change their name).. my gosh..in less than 2 years n half.. it actually rusted.. thus leaving the end of the piping connecting the muffler's rear face plate detached n the 40 percent of that area got rusted n no welding work can make wonders.. thus got my money out of the pocket ready to replace the original one from Proton.. n to my shock.. head over heals.. it cost RM 490... straight away i kept my wallet n drove out..

got some advice from Mr. Beemer.. i headed to Everco in Subang.. managed to get whole of an ala 5-Zigen styled muffler.. stainless steel.. including installation for RM 250.. just look at that.. half the price of the fucking Proton-LifeLong Muffler.. n i got everything done..

now left with the Cylinder Head Gasket to be replaced this SUnday at Mr. Beemer's.. hmm.. that gonna cause my wallet torn with bigger hole.. but what to do. i dun want to end up paying more than i supposed if things got worst..

i think that basically bout things associated to my second love of my life.. cars..

work... hmm.. nothing interesting i supposed just that i'm happy that we got the contract for being the 3rd party consultant for Vibration monitoring for the Penang Bridge Widening Project... n oh ye.a.. was allowed to give a short talk on Highway NOise Study, Barrier Design n Issues on behalf of my boss,. the talk was organised by this highway concessionaire in accordance to their contract with the highway authority on social contributions..

was kinda tongue tied in the beginning.. but everything ended just fine... hehehe..

n oh yea.. i received a new cousin... hehehe.. he's name is Michael Sean Ling.. u can view his progress at www.mslwatch.blogspot.com .. he's in NZ.. latest edition for our extended family..hehehe.. WELCOME to our big family lil bro.. :)

just imagine that when he reached 5 n started to take things more seriously.. i would be 30 then.. i hope he wont greet me uncle instead.. LOL.... n kinda disappointed as he was borned on the 2nd of Nov.. n mine was 1st.. why can he comes a day earlier so that we can celebrate our birthday together..? hehehehe...

oh my.. pretty long winded.. ok.. i'll stop here.. n will keep posting more often..
