Surely got back to work took most of my time off from doing other stuff that I used to do. Sigh...

[Short Talk] 3 November 2009

Okay, I still got some time for today little short talk lol.

What a heck of training days. (Yesterday & today)

LOLWUT... Homework? (but I just got back from work...)

Note to self

Let's hope I will remember to blog about:

1. New job
2. Daily dose of craps short talks
3. Stuff that I'm interested. (Gosh, there are too many.)
4. Random image(s)
5. Random video(s)
6. Time wasting craps material(s)

I don't feel very well.

I think it was the side effect of taking almost 2 hours bus ride going back plus some rain drizzling. I'm now suffering the head dizziness like women lost their "red" during PMS or like pregnant ladies.

Feel like crap @ 10:30pm now,

Have you ever thought what's the point of feeling emo for some matters? I mean how the heck of being emo can make you feel any better?

[Short Talk] 28 October 2009

If you read my yesterday post, you would probably know 'bout my driving test. And yea, I passed the test just like everybody else who can afford to pay little extra. I'm not extremely proud of it at all.

Okay, I took the driving test already and I don't think I wanna take my family car out for a spin. Jeez... It's a freaking van and I'm only learned to drive in a Kancil.

[Short Talk] 25 October 2009

There's nothing interesting stuff to blog 'bout today. Woke up early in the morning like 6am to walk all the way to Taman Connaught from my house. Estimate walking distance is around 5km. Took another walking trip back home too. That make total 10km of walking distance. All for the sake of last driving lesson. Dropped dead for 2 hours after reached home and then got something to do.

*hint to myself: TV*

Well, that will be another topic for me to blog about it.

p/s: Ha, managed to write up this entry 20 minutes left till next day.

------------------------------

I wonder did you notice there was a day missing of [Short Talk]? :P

[Short Talk] 24 October 2009

I got nothing interesting to blog these few days. Boredom got into me again.

Slowpoke news: Windows 7 officially launched in 22 October 2009.

Noticed Facebook has changed it user homepage again yesterday night.

Randomly picked a movie (Fast & Furious 4) to watch in PPStream.

[Short Talk] 22 October 2009

Reposta from yesterday short talk.

Food for thought:

How many time have you used up to read other people blog 'bout their personal life? Did you gained anything reading their life story? What would you do with the uncountable spare time you used to had if you did not stumble their blogs at all?

------------------------------

If you saw this [CP] in the blog title, that mean it's a COPY PASTA tagged. Of course there'll be link to source of the contents.

This was supposed to be timed post for 22 Oct short talk but what the heck anyway

My own rule of thumb 01:

No matter how screwed/fucked up I am, I will not post 'bout it in my blog (nor in my Facebook). Let's just say the Internet is like an asshole, they can always remember everything of everyone forever. So I rather want it to be a less annoying asshole to me.

[Short Talk] 19 October 2009

A single trip will going to cost me RM5.90 for getting to a place. RM1.90 for taking RapidKL from Damai Perdana to Maluri; RM2.40 for taking LRT from Maluri to Masjid Jamek; RM1.60 for taking another LRT from Masjid Jamek to Abdullah Hukum.

Double those amounts if taking the same route back. That will be total RM11.90 just for the transportation going out alone in a day.

I can't imagine if I'm going to work 6 days a week in the future.

[CP] Top Gear on Mugen Civic Type R concept

The art of noise


Honda employs super-tuner Mugen to hone the Civic Type R to a razor's edge. But is this 240bhp, 8,300rpm screamer any good? Click through our gallery to find out...


The Honda Civic Type R Mugen Concept can be neatly summarized in surprisingly few words. Unfortunately, seeing as all of them are swear words apart from ‘mental', bleeding', ‘earholes' and ‘backwards', it's very hard to give you the full stretch without getting letters. Suffice to say that it's more than a bit feisty.

But first, a word on what this car is all about. Now, Mugen might be a name that you're vaguely familiar with if you've ever spent any time near a racetrack or group of go-faster Honda owners. Founded in 1973 by Hirotoshi Honda (the son of Honda's founder Soichiro), Mugen is an independent Honda ‘tuner' based mostly in Japan, and it's still owned by the Honda family.


Thanks to this handy bit of cuddly corporate nepotism, Mugen has developed high-performance bits for Honda for years. Not just road cars either: from '91 to 2000 Mugen prepped F1 engines for Tyrrell, Ligier, Prost and Jordan, as well as advising on Honda's engine programme. Now, rather less sexily, it has a base in Northampton, and this car is a kind of rolling billboard for what Mugen would like to do. That is, become the ‘M-Sport' equivalent of Honda. So huge associations with Honda, but more focussed: think of them as (potentially) Honda's AMG, or Renaultsport, and you'll get the idea.


Good. It's all going swimmingly until we see the car in the metal. Now I'm quite keen on the J-tuning scene, so the big wing is actually - in my eyes - appropriate, but I'd prefer it if it was useful (it's not, apart from creating some marginal negative lift characteristics). I'd also prefer it if the extra bodykit bits weren't so obviously fake. The vents behind the front wheels don't appear to do anything, and the triangular ducts in the bonnet are solid black plastic under mesh. Not great.


Walk up to the car from behind and your eye is lured towards the gaping pair of circular exhausts that dominate the lower part of the bumper - noticeable firstly by their size and secondly because they aren't triangular. And thirdly because they aren't connected - at all - to the actual exhausts. You can see straight through them to the suspension, the real exhausts hanging out near the back like hosepipes stuffed in oil barrels. Not something I've seen on race cars.


Soon forgotten though, because once you jump in, it all gets very exciting. The seats are gone, the fronts replaced by lightweight Recaro units set far lower than standard. There's a triple set of extra gauges to the right of the instrument binnacle and as soon as you fire up the motor, a grin will fire up your face. This thing is race-car fruity and unsociably raspy. Excellent. A new cam, pistons, throttle body, ECU, intake system and exhaust release 240bhp at 8,300rpm (500rpm higher than standard). A relatively lowly 157lb ft only reaches a peak at 6,250rpm, when most cars are coughing up a lung, but seeing as the Mugen is 105kg lighter than stock, it doesn't really matter.


And the noise. At 76mph in sixth gear your brain leaks out of your ears. Not, as you might expect, from the banshee wail of an iVTEC 2.0-litre trying to birth its valves through the manifold, but the horrific resonance of a semi-race exhaust unmitigated by silencers, or probably more appropriately, a helmet and earplugs. It's horrible. Until you start playing with the ever-so-slightly more precise gearbox and realise what Mugen has really done.

It's made a Touring Car. Out of a Civic.


It's not as if a Honda generally has flabby great swathes of engineering fat to excise, but Mugen has done it. The suspension gets new springs, dampers and bushes as well as geometry tweaks, but the result is extraordinary. This car is softer than a standard Civic Type R, but so brilliantly caught on the rebound that it has body control without the brittle ride. And you feel every single gram of feedback through the wheel, like someone has attached your tendons to the wishbones. The wheels are some 4-ish kg lighter than standard (each), and it means that turn-in is off the wrists, with the car pivoting around a point that sits just above the front axle - the Type R experience amped-up on the good drugs.


The brake pedal is firm thanks to a new four-pot front brake set-up, but the car isn't over-braked. Everywhere there's feel, but firmness. It's taut, but tactile. And when you set that motor spinning through the 5,500rpm VTEC boundary, lunacy is achieved time and time again. It might not be as blithely quick as the current crop of turbo hatches, but it's a pure and simple joy for the keen driver - a very pointy point made that absolute fastest is not always best.



A point bourne out when the Stig takes the wheel at the TG test track. There we are surrounded on all sides by barren airfield for at least 200 metres, and as I turn 360 degrees, there he is, a foot behind me. As if he's beamed down from planet Helmet. Not so much a keen driver as completely psychotic, the Stig pounds the Mugen around and around until it runs out of petrol, then abandons the car with the keys in it and the door open. As he walks past on the way to God-knows-where, he gives me a thumbs-up. At least that's what it looked like. If you squint.

It's a delight, this Concept. Stupidly noisy, not as fast as a Focus RS, a bit on the tinselly side, if we're getting personal. But when you get down to it, this is a car for people who love driving, rather than just going fast. And the world is a better place for it. Just pray that Mugen takes heart and gets us more stuff ASA-bloody-P.

Okay, time to catching up stuff that I missed when I was not online. Maybe next time I'll tell you what the heck am I doing all over the cyberspace.

Half-Life 2 sound effect

Sometime we replayed the video game in real life with our own imagination. So what happen when someone brought together the best of both worlds by dubbing the sound effects with human voice in the actual game?

I have / had…

To reflect from my previous post aeon ago, I have something to spill it out:

I have a laptop now but my sister got to use it instead.

I still have internet connection albeit in my house since I’m not in the office anymore. (Oh ya, 4mbps package FTW!!! XD)

Salary raised to thousand. Not much but hey, it’s still money, isn’t it.

I’ll have more time when I quit my job. (That’ll be another story.)

Hmm… This one will be tricky. I haven’t meet any interesting girl lately. (lolwutwtfbbq… she’s still in my mind. :3)

I think I can sleep soundly after quitting my job.

I shall make this as a life-long learning. You can’t run out of new thing to learn everyday. Further study is just part of the progress in life.

I am still alive and breathing.

I want

I want a laptop.

I want an Internet connection.

I want more money.

I want more time.

I want a girlfriend.

I want more sleep.

I want to go back to study.

I just want to live.

3 days

When the news popped up 2 days ago, I didn’t expect that day will come any sooner. Damn, I still haven’t figure out where the heck of my ID register slip gone to. That left me 13 more days until the registration will close. If the luck is not my side, I might as well prepare myself to study at random college. There is one thing quite bothering though. It’s I still haven’t decide to choose which courses to further study. Despite my SPM was over 3 years ago and the recent STPM. Here I am, already a 20 years old who currently composing this improper blog post, still reluctant to get a driving license, fascinating at computer hardware, glued to Discovery, NatGeo and History channels, don’t have a long term job, regretted didn’t get a good grip on science subjects, Jack of all trade; master of none, barely covered the basic of commerce  subjects, an idiot, an accidental loner, passion to games but rarely play any, no girlfriend, carefree, missed high school but not the people, missed her, barely even an otaku, almost turning into a hikikomori, gained weights, depress, lack of socialization, moody, nothing better to do, still not sleeping……

Okay, my mind is running out of verbs to make up the supposedly a very long post due to lack of proper English usage in everyday life.

Eric Lai,
