Why not make it 100 ??


I've always wanted to show this to everyone but to no avail. Finally, and thanx to my megapixelled cam phone, i managed to zoom in and this is what I got. Imagine in a housing area, where not only are the roads small, with speed bumps as well.



Imagine, at 60kmh, one could just drive into a house or a tree or worse, a little kid, walking or playing by the roadside. Lets just suggest to the JPJ to increase the limit to a 100kmh, since the speedlimit at the Simpang Tiga Flyover is only 70. Sometimes, the authorities should rethink and replan before amending and implementing something. Not implement and shit is all the civilians get.

Chinese New Year has always been fun, every single year. Its like, everything's in a rush and people are rushing here and there, cars rushing here and there and money too, rushing, really really fast out of pockets.


Preparation, for my family, has always been grand. I'll be climbing up and down the ladder, hanging decorative pieces, like the lanterns and what not.
Its always the eve of the celebration thats so exciting. Everythings washed and polished to their maximum gleam. These are hard, manual, labour. But it pays off by making me smile when I see all is done and time to usher in the 'God of Prosperity' by playing fireworks and crackers.
I slept at around 2.30am that Chinese New Year morning. Tired but satisfied.

If it's Kenwood and you know it, clap your hands.

Was searching for a replacement cd player for my Myvi since last year but never was THAT motivated to actually put my soul into it. But this time, I'd being pushed by the approaching festivities. Maybe it's just Chinese New Year, everything has to be new and everything has to be dashing.

I was influenced by one of my friends, whose a serious car pimper. Went down to the accessories shop where he wanted to fix some meters and some security alarm stuff and saw this beauty on display. I was like, my, my, my, would you look at that ?

It's actually a considerably a used good, but since the previous owner only used it for like a month or so, the price definitely plunged from when it was brand new (i was told, so I guess I better believe it).

Was considering and reconsidering and reconsidering and my final streak was, I told myself to get it done and over with. Reconsidering for a longer period might not even get me a new player even by next century. So I set a time and date for the installation.

I musta spent like 4 hours just idling around the shop, watching those technicians, dismantling the virgin interiors of my somewhat brand new car.

Since the manufacturer's built-in player can't be removed as a stand-alone piece, the centre console along with the original player had to be taken out to install a customized fitted console. This is the removed chunk.

So, when that's done, here comes KENWOOD!!!

From a displayed unit on the shelf like a week ago, and somehow this silvery thing has found its way into my car. Brilliant! lOl
Looks pretty dashing, especially with the blue back light and all.
This is how this baby really looks like when all is dark and mysterious.






I seriously gotta stop spending moolah on audio systems. Else I'd be celebrating chinese new year in poverty. Time to donate you guys! Haha
