Will Young - Leave Right Now

I'm just gonna say that this is a very beautiful song.

Can't make up your mind mind mind mind...
Please don't waste my time time time time...

Sorry bout that, I just can't get this Justin Bieber's song outta my head. Anyway, back to the post. I just got myself a new basketball (or all purpose) shoe which cost me 400 bucks. Pretty pricey but after testing it out on the court, it's definitely worth every penny. Its the fourth installment of Kobe Bryant's line in Nike and although a fifth has already been released, this shoe still looks pretty amazing.

Nike Zoom Kobe 4

I've been eyeing this shoe ever since it came out more then a year ago and finally I'm able to get my hands on it. Weighing at 11.6 ounces, it is considered one of the lightest basketball sneakers back when it was release and from my one time experience, I gotta say this shoe is definitely awesome as its light and also very comfy inside.

... I think my feet is having an obsession and pretty much addicted to the shoe now.

Ne-Yo - Part Of The List

It was actually Lizzie who introduced this song to me. First of all thanks a lot cuz its a great song, but I kinda preferred Ne-Yo's original over the HAWT Marie Digby's version here.




There's something about the beginning of this video that reminds me...

What a 100 n 10% Gives You

A LOGICAL SOLUTION.
Now here is a problem that finally has a formula for getting to the bottom of an age old problem.
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-*-*-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far a** kissing will take you.

A-*-*-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bulls**t and A** Kissing that will put you over the top.

- some big organization

Another earthquake 11th May 2010

Seriously, like 2 days ago (9th May) I was lying on my bed and I felt that tremor created from the earthquake which hit Indonesia. And today, before I could go to sleep, I felt the same thing which really got me out of my bed and on to the internet to search for any earthquakes. Of course I found one from http://www.met.gov.my/ which reads...

Latest Earthquake 11 May 2010

A weak earthquake has occurred with magnitude 4.9 on Richter scale in Philippine Islands Region at 2:56am 11 May 2010. The earthquake epicentre is located at 19.4 North latitude and 122.2 east longitude, 1506km Northeast of Kudat,Sabah.

But this is seriously killing me and I might just be developing a tremor phobia here. I mean its not a nice experience to be feeling the room shaking and also knowing that there are actually lil bit and pieces of cracks on my walls now which I have no idea if it was there long before or has it just began to fall apart.

... and before I go, may god protect the ones that are most affected by these natural disasters.

True Love Story - Life Together

One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer's office.
Apparently, they are there to file a divorce.

Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story....
This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over yrs of marriage nothing ever seems to go right.

They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own family, there's nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce....

Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt that after 40 yrs of marriage at the age of 70, he couldnt understand why the old couple would still want a divorce..

While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband..
"I really love u, but i really cant carry on anymore, I'm sorry.."
"Its o.k, i understand.." said the husband. Lookin at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them,wife thought, why not, since they are still gonna be friends..

At the dining table, there was a silence of awkardness.
The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick for the old lady.."take this, its your favourite.."

Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe theres still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer.."
This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, dont you know that i hate drumsticks?"

Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband's favourite. Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did he know that she hates drummsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.

That night, both of them couldnt sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn...after hours, the old man couldnt take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he cant carry on life without her, he wants her back, he wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her "i love you"...

He picks up the phone, starting dialing her number....ringing never stops..he never stop dialing....

On the other side, she was sad, she couldn’t understand how come after all these years, he still doesnt understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but she just cant take it anymore....phone's ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that its him..."whats the point of talking now that its over...i have ask for it and now i wanna keep it this way, if not i will lose face.."she thought...still ringing...she have decided to pull out the cord...

Little did she remember, he have heart problems...

The next day, she received news that he had passed away...she rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the phone...he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line....

As sad as she could be...she will have to clear his belongings...when she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, with the beneficiary being her... And together in those file, there was this note...

"To my dearest wife, by the time you're reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that i have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know Iwill always be around, by your side... I love you"

Tears flowed like river......

"When you love someone, let them know... You never know what will happen the next minute.... Learn to build a life together.. Learn to love each other. For who they are.. not what they are..."

Baby argument

Alright there, chill aight, if the first thing that comes to mind was me arguing with my baby (which I don't even have) then your rightfully mistaken. But hey, do scroll down and have a look at this compelling argument by a very very adorably baby :)

Neo CPS experience

Alright, after two and a half months of owning and testing my baby around the roads, I'm finally able to give my views and thoughts on my baby Sapphire which is the Satria Neo CPS. I've actually wanted to write a review on the car for quite some time as there wasn't many detailed review to be found and knowing that there are still many Satria fanboys and car enthusiast alike out here wanting to know more about the car.

Well first of all, I would like to say that I'm very fortunate to be able to own and drive one (cheaper sports car) which still not many can afford considering its priced close to 60k. Not to say that people here aren't rich but the rich do have their own "toys" as well for example, the Type-Rs, the Lancers, the Subarus, or if you have more money to burn, you could say a VW Scirocco, Porch 911 Turbo, Lambo Gallardo, or even go for a Ferrari.

Anyway, lets talk about the cheapest sports car on the local market right now. Having driven it around for almost up to 3000km now and also the experience of taking it all the way up to Genting, I would say this is a pretty decent car and it definitely won't disappoint you.

Starting off with the exterior, with the new CPS body kit and the white paint job, the car does actually look quite attractive on the roads. Honestly speaking, I do get a lot of head-turning drivers checking out my car. I remembered once (and this is only one of many stories) when I drove and parked my car in front of a dim-sum restaurant, I was sitting right in front of my car and I had this uncle walking up and checking it out with that "this car looks awesome" look on his face. Some might even call this is a "chick magnet". Well, a cheap "chick magnet" I would say.

Okay now besides that, how does the car actually drives? If you ask me, I can definitely say this is a driver's car as in its much much thrilling and fun to drive then say, a car the likes of a Honda City which is obviously a family car made for comfort. The Neo does handle pretty nicely and it gives you full confidence heading into a corner. Some might say its because its a hatchback and its a two door car but I do believe that it was all down to Lotus tuned ride and handling and it is not just a marketing gimmick.

Under the hood of the car you have a Campro CPS engine which is currently the best engine you can get from Proton. The 1.6 engine is not the best in terms of fuel efficiency and a full tank of 40liters will probably give you around 450km max on the road which is pretty sad compared to a 1.5 Honda City which can give 600km on a full tank. The engine itself is actually quite good but its still lacks a bit on the lower end torque. One particular feature about this CPS engine is that it has two lifts, the low and the high. The low lift is of course just for your everyday eco-drive on the roads while the high lift is where you want to chase some Merc or BMW down. The high lift or activation point of the CPS is at 4,400rpm and I gotta say it does feel pretty awesome when it activates and the power kicks in. However, it does drink up a lot of what's in your fuel tank but still I gotta say its very addictive.

As for the transmission, there are both auto and manual to choose from. Most would recommend the manual and I strongly agree with that mainly because I've tested out the auto which really sucked. In "sucked" I mean the car just feels kinda normal, lazy, boring and uninspiring to drive (no offense to auto CPS owners). Before getting the manual CPS, my parents was like "are you sure about this?", "do you still know how to drive a manual?", and most notably "the jam will KILL YOU". Anyhow, I still got the manual CPS and at first it was tough on me cuz I've never driven a manual since getting my driving license which was about more or less 3 years ago. Embarrassingly, when I first took my car, my engine died 4 times on the way home. I must say my engine died frequently in my outing for the first few weeks. Now I'm pretty much used to it or should I say I'm actually obsessed with it. I do miss my car a lot when I drive the others.

Not to forget, the interior of the car has been enhanced with leather seats and leather wrapped steering as well. According to my friends, front passenger seats are actually quite comfortable however, the same can't be said about the back. Yes, it is leather seats as well but there just isn't much space to be sitting comfortably. I guess this car was really meant for two passengers only.

Okay, I just noticed I've written too much and I myself am getting kinda tired here so I'll just make it short and simple here for now. Overall, its a pretty awesome car and with that price, I would have given it probably a 4.5/5 but then it just falls short on that. It's not that the car is lousy but its just what Proton is famous for, DEFECTS. I was really angry that after getting the car, I had so many problems with it and I had to go back and forth about 2-3 times just to get the car all fixed up. Even when I first got my car, the back number plate light wasn't working, the interior light wasn't working, and the worst was my wiper malfunction which scratched my windscreen. After that, I had problem with high speed where I could hear wind sound coming through, problem with my power window and even my tire had a defect so good job to the guys a Proton. Keep it up!

It's just bullshits with Proton wanting to improve and compete with the big boys. I know we should support our local brand but damnit people, don't you see how bad the quality of the products are? You know why people like me bash Proton? Your answer is exactly the above. I do like my Neo CPS and I think its a great car but the troubles I've been through is just disappointing and I wouldn't even want to look at a Proton in the future if I could afford others.
