Modifications to Cars

So there are many blogs and also articles about car upgrade performance and so fort

But are they really worth the price you pay for this modern era??


Here are my top things to invest in a car as people would say "Smiles per Gallon"



1. STRUT BARS


So i get some people say this brand is good and that brand is good and etc however it all comes down to your own research and also how reliable are their products. Personally myself have used only Ultra Racing Bars which i just did stage 1 for my previous cars (Proton Persona 2008 and Perodua Viva) and now with present Toyota Vios NCP 150 2014. 

It does comes down to budget of yours however some were advising to install stage 2 but as my personal advice will be install the bars that is needed as companies tend to do as Marketing gimmick to sell it as lump sum. PERSONALLY  Stage 1 is more than enough for Daily driven cars.

What does it do? Enhance Stability. I kid you not! It does strengthen the chasis to a certain point but however it's a great start. There are videos on Youtube about strut bar and yes it's not a gimmick. HOWEVER just beware of the rubber bush giving up earlier. Had this experience with my Proton Persona.


2.Good Tires   

Why? Cause tires are the item that keeps intact with body of the car and road. There are people whom thinks tires is not important. It does in certain manner of stopping power and so on. In lay man terms, don't be ever stingy on tires. It's all about your safety and love ones. Ignore those with people who says upgrade tires and rims to odd sizes.

Yes there are people who love upsizing rims and tires. There's no right or wrong but however must be within certain specification.



At this moment for 15 inch, the best tires that I've use is Pilot Sport 3 from Michelin. It's about ranging about RM 250 to RM 280 per donut(195/55/R15). This tire is those kaki touge and loves to speed on rainy days. Personally i would rate it 4.5 outta 5. Don't get me wrong, you may have other alternatives such as RE004 which is under Bridgestone. It all depends on your wallet. Seek advise from forums as some of them may have use the tires and give honest reviews about them.

But if you're looking at comfort tires, some says Continental is alright for daily use or Michelin XM2+ if not mistaken. And of course there are some ECO tyres which it's okie but just have to beware during raining season or wet roads. Remember what you invest is what you get. 

There are also Semi Slick tyres which I'm unable to review as I've not driven with these set of tires as which is better to read up local forums as lowyat.net

3.Headlamps

This topic would be subjective as I would say. Some would invest and some won't. If your headlight comes with halogen, well there are two options as for my understanding. If you want something cheaper and brighter, i would reckon to grab Night breaker series. Both Osram and Piaa are well known brands for lighting with Philips joining along. And recently Blaupunkt has entered the market as well producing for Nissan cars for Malaysia.



But if you have higher budget, you may opt for LED series but always remember to read the specs. There are always reasons why are they some cheap LED ones vs Premium brand ones. 

  • Always read the lumens. The higher the better
  • Some may last for 3000 hours and some may last even more than 10000 hours
  • Warranty also there are some companies offer as 5 years and some only 3 years 

But wait, there's more! You will realized about a term of kelvin. So what is it all about and why is it important?


So in Malaysia, we have sources stating that the local enforces will summon those who are using more than 6000K in which these days manufactures are creating cars with LED lighting claiming it's better and also brighter than a usual halogen bulb. Indeed it's true that a LED bulb of 12W can produce a similar power of 55w halogen bulbs. Now that's amazing!

The JPJ rules hasn't stated that LED is disallowed however to keep it safe, install those lesser than 5000K bulbs as it will reflect the road better than just Pure white lights(6000K onwards).Yes it may look fancier but upon reading forums on lowyat alot of them have changed it into yellowish to able to see the road on raining day.After all, an upgrade should be better than before bulb
The only illegal lights are banned at this point of time is the HID lights. 

4.Rims

This factor alot of youngsters eventually change rims upon getting new cars. Some of them literally trade in their rims upon receiving their brand new cars! Well don't we have that experience.

The original rims are usually heavy and let's just say ugly to certain consumers. There are few things to learn about rims before just going blindly to the tires shop to change it. There are few reasons to change it as well

  1. To make the rim and tire wider as more road contact surface means more grip
  2. If the rims are lighter yes it may give you extra kilometers 
  3. It's a trend!
When i got my vios it was an usual 15 inch rims 5.5jj and stock tires are 185/60/R15 


So bare in mind that 185/60R15 is normal tires and aftermarket tires for this size is a lil lesser than usual 195/55/R15.

My 1st upgrade was to change to 195/55R15 as it will create more road surface contact. However years later I've changed into Enkei rims with 7jj hence the difference being shown on the image above. When there is more road contact, the fuel consumption does increase but negligible. 

Up sizing is also common these days where by the rule of thumb is One inch bigger or maximum 2 inch. In market there are various type of models and brands. The lowest grade would say it will be China rims which are usually cheap heavy and not durable. Their finishing for the rim detail is a little off from Thailand and Taiwan. Quality wise is bad in which i wouldn't recommend anyone to use China rims. Taiwan rims are still acceptable and Thailand is also not bad as it's the closest to made in Japan rims.

Japan rims are the most expensive rims you can get in the market and their resale value is amazing. If you purchase a set of rims today at RM3000. You still can obtain at least RM2000 in the market after 10 years later. It is also depends on the rim design and trend during that era. Most of Enkei rims are same design for the past 10 years at least. So yes you're safe to invest with them. Malaysians will not invest on them as they are high prone to be stolen. So most of them settle for Thailand which their cutting is similar to Japan rim

You may watch the video above to see the comparison of the rims in detail.

If you feel that you should invest light rims and budget is less, look out for Advanti rims as they are local made and it's very light. An original rim of vios is the same weight as 17 inch Advanti Storm S5. There are alot of car tire shop dealers are dealing with this brand. Go ahead and check it out. If you're not into rims i will suggest to stay stock until the stock rims are bad and it need alternatives. 


5. Audio



My favourite factor all time. CAR AUDIO!!!
Some may say meh, I just need a radio and working speakers which is not wrong. I do agree in certain aspects that some people have various hobbies. 

At average according to WORLD OF BUZZ, Malaysians spends about 53 mins of their day driving to work. Isn't it madness?

https://worldofbuzz.com/kl-ites-spend-53-minutes-stuck-traffic-jams-everyday-study-shows/

As some may not buy highest spec cars, the items being included for the audio is not very up to standard these days. For example Perodua doesn't invest like Proton but as for Proton it has been well known that they usually give good stuff and it's acceptable for consumers compared to Perodua in which they usually don't focus on that department as they feel it's not important. However lately Proton has been collaborating with Kenwood for their audio sources for their X70 and it's impressive which requires aftermarket modification.

Compared to Perodua, they just rely on Betamek Audio Sources which is just below acceptable quality at times but it does the job of giving radio and speakers. 

For continental cars some company does invest on brands as Harman kardon, Bang & Oulfsen, Focal, Fender and many more. I even saw Denon on Citroen!! Companies like BMW and Mercedez Benz these days keep it as optional upgrades.

Some may change speakers but honestly i would rather invest on radio than speakers as they are claim as the brains for audio. Trust me! Changing from stock head unit to an aftermarket ones really makes difference. They can range up from RM 200.00 for single dins right up to RM 5000 double dins and single dins.

Don't worry, audio companies has cater for every peoples wants and needs. If unsure about car audio You may hook up with Xcite Audio or Fasmoto. They do have intenational shipping and would be glad to assist you in any manner.


 6.Coilovers


A topic which still learning about it but maybe give you some pointers for those are interested in stability. The image above is a FTUNED CLS which the company target those users for lowering their cars and without sacrificing comfort.  In Malaysia it's known as lowered springs and lifespan of a normal coilover it does depend on your usage. At average it will be about 100km. 

FTUNED is a local based suspension company in Malaysia which they are specialize in Adjustables Suspension. There is another company as well named FAWSTER in which I didn't use their services yet however they are specialize in what they do.


So as earlier I've mention about lowering springs, the image above is Adjustable suspension in which it gives you flexibility to increase-decrease height and also soft- hard suspension. These will be a superb upgrade and give you more room for modification compared to just lowered springs. Usually these sets comes with adjustable damping of 16 step,24 step and 32 step. As they say the more setting damper the more costly it will be. So it comes down on your personal needs.

They are famous brands are also into this market such as TEIN, BC Coilovers, GAB and many more. 

Both has it's pros and cons but however it all comes down to budget and self satisfaction. My needs was to lowered the car to obtain more stability. Should I invest in Adjustables? Maybe someday I may upgrade. Below video is an interesting video from my favourite you-tubers named DONUT Media and they explain much

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kef1wXcQYw


6.Engine Oil 


To a common man, Engine Oil is Engine Oil. Yes true, won't deny it however engine oil companies are proving day to day that their oil is better than other. This will be recommended for those have finished warranty with companies if they have favourite brand oil to try. For this step is recommended to refer to car manual book and read up on Engine oil as there are many grades of oil.

Key word is Viscosity. I'm pretty sure you have seen such 5W-30, 10W30, 0W20 and so on. The W represent of word WINTER. So in layman term the lower the number, the thinner the oil and the better the oil’s cold temperature. The number after the W describes how thick the oil is at the engine’s normal operating temperature. 

In terms of brands in market, there are from Petroleum companies and also companies that I've used is Liqui Moly. There are companies do have a tie up program with certain companies for existence Proton usually uses Petronas Engine oil and Perodua uses Castrol Oil. Using other brand oil is okie as long it's within same viscosity and it should work fine. Sometimes some engine oil may surprise you in terms of characteristic of engine being much quiet in regards using lower RON petroleum. So everything is trial and error 

7. Grounding Kit 

It is something we overlook at times we don't really need it until some day. As times goes by, the ground for the car decreases. Alternatively this is the only option to be done to increase the eleccity flow in the car. That is not only reason


The benefits of grounding electric system are as follows:
  • Stabilised electric currents
If the electricity is sufficient there will not need extra power from battery which it does saves up a lil of the battery.

  • Lesser jerking
 Air-cond are the main culprits of draining much electricity and will notice your car lights deem within a second.So by having this grounding, it provides efficient current to all major electrical components and balances out the power usage for most components. Not only Aircond, amplifiers as well if you're into car audio. 

  • Reduce static shock
Remember those days when you have Proton and sometimes you get that Electric shock? or any other cars? This is because static being produce when two of the materials rub against each other making electrical discharge. The discharge will happen when you touch something metal. So having grounding kit eliminates this!

2016

Whoa.. Time flies before you know it

Pretty much this posting is more on 2015 tho. Indeed it was a great year till December which the mishaps happened to my house.

No joke.. It still saddens me till today about it. Still Fresh in my mind on how did it happened and stuff like that 


For those who don't follow malaysian news perhaps i can predict that you have no idea what happened..

It follows as this;


It was a Wednesday and christmas was approaching, Time really flies when you delay stuff, It was only 9 days away from christmas and we didn't do any shopping so called reason that we didn't have the mood yet. Much yelling from the head of the house and we decided to move.

Having breakfast at usual restaurant and we let for shopping. Had great time indeed with mom and lil cousin who stayed with us almost a month. Till a phone call came around 2 ish. Call from contractors stating they have bad news saying the wall collapse. To my surprise thinking it would be a small matter but nevertheless we rushed home to see what's going on.

When we reached home, I swear to god the only words i could say is FUCKKK!!! and yes that was infront of my mom. I just panic it was very bad...I don't know if i have the images but somehow i will find and upload it.

It was a fucking landslide at my house, It was too shocking till i just blanked out, saw a bike there and was wondering what happened to the worker who was clearing up the drain. Contractors rush to get the Excavator from outta no where and started digging. No one actually bothered about it

To make the story short, i called up the emergency hotline and they can even ask me what is landslide in Malay!!!!!! LIKE SERIOUSLY!!!!!

The commotion became worst when Fire Bridgette, ambulance and police came to the scene, estimated 1000 people was walking in and out from my house from the politicians till the ambassadors. After two hours of search, they manage to get the workers body which actually died on the spot.

the Press people actually was asking stupid questions which i bluntly fucked them up

Grandfather

It was back then when he was just a 11 yrs old kid
When he just only attended a normal ordinary engagement on a Saturday
It was a day after the writer's birthday and some how it didn't bothered him much
And the writer doesn't get attach to anyone easily..
To be frank that was the first time he really went inside the house and be with uncle through out the ceremony.
The adults were talking about marriages and engagement took place
The writer was basically was in his world of his own, no phones no gameboy, nothing!

The next day, his uncle brought his fiancee to the church
and the writer and his brother accompanied his uncle to his fiancee's house
As we arrive there, we were warmly welcomed by uncle's in laws.
Seriously huge family tree, Sometimes the writer wonders why doesn't he have the chance to have many siblings...
However, that's the 1st time the old man comes out, very stylish man, Hair being dyed to black

So he asked the writer's uncle whom are we
And the uncle explained..

"Oh wow! I'm officially a grand father"

Those words still linger in the writer's mind
And his hospitality towards us was amazing..
He made sure we ate till the fullest
Talked to us as if we were his grand sons

There was a year when he celebrated his anniversary in Pandan Lake club
The anniversary took place as if it was all wedding once again
And the writer sat with his cousins and his brother..
Came one of his sons and said
"Dei, Tata is calling you.. Better go to the main table and eat at there.. Not my instructions but his"
 So it was a stunner where he's a man who had alot of relatives and friends...
He could easily call up any of his old friends or relatives but instead he chose me to sit beside him at the main table...
It was a talking point in that function where people tend to asked who is this kid..

As we grew up older,
He used to advise me about life
And he used to talk about numerology as he was quite good in it
When ever we see him anywhere, he will always say
"My Grandson! Come over here" and also introduce me to his relatives as his grand son


Eventhough the writer had his own grandfather who's in banting,
But he was never as close as how he is with this man..
Years gone by and just somewhere last year when the writer just told his grandpa
"Tata, you know something, So many years i've known you but not even once we took a picture together"

He answered "Hahahaha Come come grandson, picture only right"

Snapped pictures and that was the last diwali i saw him...


The saddest part was the writer remembered him saying

"Get married soon Grandson.. I want to see my great grandson before i leave"



Few months down the road, he received a call saying that he past away..


No words can describe how down was he...
How painful is that a man who was close to him
And yet he's just gone...
It still hurts him badly..
Sometimes when he goes for their family function,

He somehow can sense that his old man is still around
But he smiles cuz he's in a better place

Rest in Peace Grandfather... We shall meet on the shore someday!

All About Swag


All About Swag!
Thanks Vin =P Hope you don't mind me posting your face here =P

Sunday, July 14, 2013

Mother..

Some of them treat mother as goddess
Some kids treats their mom well as they are more closer to the mothers
Well? How about u?
For the writer,
He's just a 50-50 person
No doubt people can say many things..
Oh you should be grateful and etc..
true enough! Appreciation is there
But there's one thing the writer always fear
If the person is not there anymore...
Have you actually thought what if your mother is no longer with you?
The writer himself has experienced certain of his friends who their mother passed away
And the aftermath?
Few scenarios
When the writer was std 3,
He clearly remembered his class mate name Rajesh Kumar
The writer don't know how his mother died but however
The writer could only remembered that he became a "9"
For those who don't know "9" is, it's like a woman soul trapped in Male's body.
Till today, the writer has no clue what or where is this fellar could be
Another incident happened somewhere 3 yrs ago
Where his friend from same college but different course
Apparently her mom died of breast cancer
The writer only met her mom once
And the next year she passed on
The Aftermath,
The writer's friend was totally depressed
And till today
He prays that she would get out from that depression
Knowing how close was the relationship with mother and daughter.
Apparently she even flunked some subject's
Not the same college as the writer but in a different college.
 
The writer believes not all of them are the same,
Some folks can be very bold and strong
Some even just cover up with their usual mask
But the writer respects those who are actually accept the fact that they are no more around... Like mind tells you to move on... Don't care about what happens now but think about the future...

Let's change

Have you ever dreamt about waking up as another person...
Like.. A whole new different person
A person who is the total opposite of the current you(not changing gender)
Seems easy but it's hard right...

Well let just say that the writer just had to do some changes in his life
It's not easy but he sometimes thought that being good at times pays off...

How shall the writer put it?
It's kinda hard to explain certain things..
On why people change.. Or why they even think about doing some changes...
Some guys says cause of woman they change...
And the girls just use the other way around...
If it was for something bad to good.. The writer is pretty sure that many people would support along the way especially friends...

However...

If it was good to bad.... It's something to ponder about..

What the writer went through seems a lil unfair towards him... He felt he mingle around with ladies alot.. He respects them.. But yet certain people just declares him as womanizer.
Even recently, he just feels that he's like a rebound to certain people.. forgotten while they are in midst of happiness and when they are sad.. they don't know who to go to and they end up texting the writer as if they don't feel it's a lil awkward to text the writer after long duration.

Do you know what it pist off people at times? What every fat guy that treats a woman right.. like they always wanted... and they (woman) always end up with a "Punch" dialog.. A dialog which clearly indicates that you're friendzoned for life...That's it! full stop!

Seems a lil hard to take it right.. What if you actually spend so much of time being with her or him... Making sure she's/He's in good shape where her/his useless douche duffle bag of her bf/gf treats her so crappy... It's not that the writer is sad or whatsoever.. he feels very dissapointed at times.. 

The writer wished that she could see a clearer picture that the bf of hers is not the one for her.. writer knows problems raises and stuff like that as couples.. but you don't insult your partner.. that's all i'm saying.. As they say.. A tongue is sharp as knives.. It doesn't stab u physically but mentally as well...After all people fall in love not seeing their body sizes or whatsoever thing u call it.. But via the mutual understanding and so many criteria comes along the way...

Cases like this sometimes makes the writer ponder... Is it so bad to be the good one? You listen to their stories and things change along the way...
You know what... I'm sure many of you have watched the video below.. Watch it and enjoy it..

If you're in this situation.. It's up to you to change.. But as the writer thinks..

It's time for him to change..

Who should?

Somewhere a month ago...
While the writer was sippin his whiskey in a club

Where his brother was in the midst of seeing stars..

While he was minding his own drinks and listening to heavy bass music..
A woman he knew came close and sat beside him and she wasn't in her usual mood..

Being a gentleman, he asked her what's wrong?

Her facial expression says that she shouldn't ask a guy who's younger than her
But somehow she just asked...

It was a question which the writer himself wouldn't expect from that particular scene
"Who Should Propose first"?

For the writer..he was like... Both also can mah..

It's weird that these days even females are afraid to propose to a guy..

Seriously come on... What's wrong if a woman wanna propose to a guy that she always dreamt off and etc..


Not all guys can read woman's mind.. If they can read...Holy shit!!!


So as the writer.. He always believe that woman can change men's mind set...

For an example

Woman eventhough they are at fault... they can even make the men itself to apologize...

If a woman itself can make this why not they can implement this in their love stories...

I don't know about rest of the men out there, would they want a woman to propose or not.. personally the writer don't mind if a woman loves him and she wanna propose to him... what would be the worst case scenario??? Being friends!!!

Chinese New Year..

People in Malaysia looks forward for holidays...
For one reason.. Holidays!!
True enough.. But As Malaysian, do we really celebrate it??

However the writer looks forward for Chinese New Year..
Knowing he's an Indian Guy.. But what's the harm in celebrating it?
Call him mad or watsoever, He actually looks forward for chinese new year..
All the Yee Sangs,

All the oranges... Even though he doesn't take em...
Everything will be red and gold!

And not forgetting the Angpaws being received from certain people who treats him as family

The thing which writer doesn't understand is that

Why doesn't many people really celebrate Chinese New Year??
In sense which people goes house visiting and so on..
No Doubt where they don't actually serve u food and they tend to gamble on that special occasion!

Can't blame them right...

But who cares...
Ask the kids these days " Have you been to a Chinese House on a New Year day?"
Answer will be "NO"

Why people are being so held up to the kids...
The writer used to be so excited when comes to open houses
(Eventhough he has attended one in Banting by the minister)

It's all about culture is the writer is concern about..
Does the Kids know the history of the Lion Dance..
Or have they even seen a Dragon Dance??
Or even seeing these dudes performing ontop of the huge logs!

As the writer grew up,
He had few chinese neigbours..
Even though the angpow may not be as big as he thinks..
But the thought that comes...
The writer always remembers each and every uncles and aunties who actually given him those angpaws...

The writer just understood Chinese New Year as a new year..
But not as a concept where people long lost relatives get back together..
And have one happy Meal and so on...

But.. When he was a teenager,
His mom and dad used to buy clothings and gifts for the contractors family...
We grew up as if it was like christmas.. Sharing gifts...


Yesterday...
After years of culture of visiting their house for CNY

The contractors wife was so glad we actually came by...
We have nothing muchh..
Just drinks and voila...
Exchange gifts...And not forgetting the angpows!

Its about time when the writer and his mother left the house...
The contractor's wife hugged him as a motherly hug...
And in the car, the writer's mom told him...
"Did you know that we are the only ones who are close to her at the moment"
Writer was stunned...

"What about her family and stuff like that.. Tak kan she got no one" writer kept on driving..


"It's not about family... It's about how you treat them...How much we care for them.... Have you ever see their sibling visiting them" " And i quote you this... She even said that You and ur brother are like brother's to Jun Men (Jun Men is a Down Syndrome Kid who is 19 yrs of age)

"And you do realize where she it self doesn't expose him to many people other than us"

The writer sense that we were like part of her family....

Tears of broken heart

I have given all my love to you, but what do I get in return?
A broken heart.
I have given you my heart, and you stomp on it like a doormat.
I have given you my youth and you took advantage of my un-experienced heart and played with my emotions.
I gave you all the trust, but you misused it.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and you proved everyone right.
I gave you my life and you killed me day by day.
I want to pull my aching heart and tear it piece by piece, So I no longer love you.
I want to loose my memory so I no longer think of you.
I want to go so far so I no longer have to see you.
I want to cry but I no longer have any more tears to fall down
my sad lonely face.
I want to sleep but my dreams haunt me with you in them.
I can’t seem to find a way out. What do I do?
I don’t want anyone to see this not even you.
How do I get out of this?
How do I stop this misery? How do solve this mystery?
I can’t seem to find anyone to make feel the way you do,
The way you look at me,
the way you say my name,
the sound of your voice when you tell me that you care.
I love you so much I think I’m going to die from this pain that haunts day and night.
How can forget you? If the only love I know is you.
How can I move on? If life is not the same with out you.
I want to brake free and move on but I think I’ll be doing something wrong.
I just have to close my eyes and let things fly and let the days pass me by

Michael Jackson

It's weird for him to write about this post
But however it was a weirdest dream of all time
Dreaming about Michael Jackson...

Seems weird right
But however it seemed real
As he dreamed when he was a kid
When Michael Jackson came down to Malaysia in year 1995
And he even remembered asking his dad for permission to go for it
As you know the answer is always a NO from Indian Parents...

It was a dream which took place 18 yrs ago and it just came back in flash

It has been two days since the incident happened
And he still wonders why this dream.. A freakish one just suddenly came once again

:/

Is it wrong to tip?

This topic has been goin on for ages in Malaysia
Should we tip or not?
I always sometimes wait for any writer to write about it in newspapers
Rather than Politics and so on

It's amazing where certain places they don't encourage you
And certain places they ask you to do tip them by force
For example in USA.. They will ask you to tip them 40% of your bill

If the bill was 100 bucks.. you gotta tip them USD 40!

Debates being goin on, in school nor in colleges about this topic

And there's pro's and con's

The Pro's i say
  • Staff will be motivated to work even harder
  • Based on the tips being received he or she gave that perfect service in terms of food being served, hospitality and also many criteria
Well about the Con's


  • Staff would fight over customers as this goes based on number of customers being served
  • Un fair pay as certain people might get lesser one another
  • Staff will tend to be money minded at times and try to demand more

These are the few highlights being pointed out during debates, however my point of view is that
 Tipping shouldn't be establish by force

But however people should tip these guys in moderate manner

Why???

Let me give you a break down on a 2 star staff salary in Kuala Lumpur..

Their Basic would be somewhere around 600-700

And then the rest goes according the point quota system.

So basically i'm just giving a round figure of Rm 1700..


Seems alot right?

OKie.. Let's say Astro is around 100 bucks per month, then comes in ur rental for room in KL which is Rm700 at least, then your daily expenditure of food per day RM 15( a nice comfortable meals)

700+100+450=1250

This is not even including ur internet which now days we can't live without and also mobile prepaid or even line..

So just imagine ur self spending 450 per month eventhough you work day and night... Don't u think it's ridiculous... Obviously people would look for money...

I had bad experiences... I would do anything so that i would see money in my wallet. eventhough i used to live with my parents but never the less i had to spend on petrol and also car maintenance

I had to do taxi businesses in order for me to get some extra pocket money...

If night shift.. yes i would make some money.. but not that much.. most to most 50 bucks per night..and if day time... sometimes nil!
That is only taxi

Another method i used to do but i don't really like it is that i had to sell woman...

Who ask for it???

Guest only..
Can't say no alsoo!!
Have to give nyyy!
Pricing??
Hahahahha... Ask me in person i shall tell you

So at 1st i didn;t want to do
but desperate times.. you have to do it..

Eventhough i do feel pity for the ladies
But who am i to them..
Sometimes i do talk with them.. eventhough they look like rowdy i say
But as people say.. Treat them well and they will tend to treat you well..

Conclusion of it?
At the end of the day..
It's up to you
Cuz for malaysians, we are paying the 10% tax
However.. Dear Malaysians!!!
If you feel that person really did a very good job
Please tip them and say
" This is for you and only you!"

You know why??

Certain organizations they practice to share out their tips which i feel it's wrong at times
You work ur ass off and u share your tip with other??
Dafuq!!!

Even i practice that too...
Tip them once.. And you will see the amount of different it can make During ur stay in hotels
Or even in regular restaurants that you go for...

Christmas 2012

It was a another year of Christmas
Well.. Can say it was a lil different..
1stly it was Mevinder which i knew him for donkey years!
He wanted to see the celebration in the Church...

So we decided to meet up in the church by 9.45pm with family friend's sons
And we sat infront near to the alter...


So before the mass started, the small children had some skit to perform
Which was Faith Hope and Love





So it went on with the Mass itself which was estimated an hour
As then the hour approach..
We started wishing each other Merry Christmas...
And the weird thing is that.. instead of my phone to be ringing... Mevin's phone was vibrating nonstop!

After the Mass..
We head out from the church and started taking pictures...











On the next day...
We had some visitors to the house and lots of cheers happened...
Family, Friends.. Relatives.. One big havoc





 




So that was the day time in the Crib and so on...
Having lots of laughter...
talking nonsense...
Seriously if i really had a whole day open house... i wouldn't mind doing it again with these people..

Then The party Continues in Banting.. Which i damn malas wanna upload on Blogspot...
As i wore a shirt made out of a saree
People started looking at me as if i was some kind of joke
And what i hate about my mom's home town...

They would never accept my FUCKIN Trend!
They would ask..

" So you took your mother's saree and did is it??"

My Answer was simple..

" errm.. I can afford my own things.. i don;t need to even ask her"

 My this year theme was simple for Christmas... " Being Traditional"
Why is it??
Cuz every year i would be wearing some hip hop thingy and so on..
Or even casual wear.. But not even once i actually wore Traditional clothings to church, house function nor uncle's grand celebration...

Best part of all.. Ladies were looking at me as if i took their saree material...

That was end of the Christmas day...

It continues.. Not many people knows about this day..
And it's called Boxing day!

Not really boxing fight thingyy!
But it's a day where you spend the time with family
Opening your gifts and so on..

So my family every year they do it..
And gotta say.. i really miss boxing day alot as i was in cameron highlands in year 2011..
So the kids always look forward for it..
For them to count gifts who has the most..

It was time when my brother and my self were kids.. and we used to check under christmas tree
Just to see how many gifts we have...
But as years goes by.. The gifts being reduce as an adult..
And we adults just love seeing the kids happiness





So, as the boxing day ended..
As i always like to review stuff..

This year... I felt there was three elements for this christmas
  • Caring
  • Love
Don't ask me why.. but i just felt that...
Any how.. Merry Christmas to all of you! And a Happy new year!
