Glossary of Automobile terms Part 5...coming up
RPM
This means revolutions per minute. This is not how many times your tires are turning per minute, but its how many cycles the engine is going through each minute. i.e revs per minute.
1 rev = 1 push-bang-blow-suck.
when you step on the accelerator pedal, you add petrol to the engine, the petrol mixes with the air and burns and causing the engine to spin more. The further you "rev" the faster the engine spins. I.e....the higher the RPM.
You'll notice some cars have a huge RPM meter (its called Tachometer if you didnt know) especially in sports cars. This is because to a car enthusiast, the rpm meter is much more important than the speed meter. An average car user doesnt care about all this because car is to get from A to B only.
Monitoring your revs is important because it lets you judge and decide how to use your petrol wisely and also it lets you command the car if you want to drive fast for some particular reason.
You'll see a red line, this is called the er....red line region.
Normally in racing mode, you change gears just after the red line.
But for normal everyday driving, you change gears at where your torque peaks. I'll get back to that later.
For even lazier grandma driving (depends on who's grandma) you shift gears at around 3000 rpm.
Speed meter (or Speedometer)
kinda self explanatory. The speedometer gives you the current speed of your gearbox and hence, gear.
So if you are travelling 100 kmph, the particular gear you are in is "travelling" 100 kmph.
Not so important for racers, because speed isnt important. The most important thing in a race is to be infront of the pack, Michael Schumacher was good at this. And so is Valentino Rossi. Speed is just a number.
Throttle body
Throttle pedal
Throttle valve
Exhaust Manifold
Exhaust Pipe
Exhaust Muffler

Glossary of Automobile terms Part 4
Power :
A measurement of how much work (Energy in the units of JOULE) can be done in a period of time
Example, 1 watt = 1 joule per second
1 kilowatt = 1000 joule per second
If you push a bag of rice that weighs 100 kg in a distance of 1 meter in 1 second,
your body has 1 kilowatt of power!
Horsepower:
in those days, heavy work was either done by cows or horses or donkeys. So when 1 horse was used, we say the work was done with 1 horsepower.
in modern terms, that work = 0.746 kilowatts
so i.e
1 HP (horsepower) = 0.746 kilowatts
My car has total of 105 HP on the engine i.e it has 78.33 kW power
My bike has total of 15 HP on the engine, so it has about 11.19 kW power.
Torque:
Torque is a special type of energy/work. It is the energy used to spin an object that has mass.
Example
If you open a door, the door is spinning at the hinge. So you are doing TORQUE (pronounced TORK)
When you use a screw driver to turn a screw, you are doing TORQUE by spinning it.
Your engine can do torque as well,
The PUSH-BANG-BLOW-SUCK cycle in the engine turns the gears, and those gears turn your axles, and those axles finally turn your wheels.
If you drive a heavy vehicle like those tractors, with large torque, you will start to move (slowly la)
BUT if you drive a light car, with large torque, and you slam on the gas pedal, your head will snap back possibly causing paralysis,
i.e. old uncles stay away from performance cars or at least drive like a ninny with your performance car and bald head.

why do they make such lousy chefs?
Its because they have to make everything so stressful.
seriously, my mom cant cook coz everything about the cooking itself is stressful. wtf man.
Even when its not you who's cooking,
she panics
moan
groan
huff
puff
cant you just shut the fuck up and shut your door. I dont need you spoiling my food with your breath.

shut up
now its not common to name your kid shut up, but in arabic, Shadab might mean something else. Still you have to be careful when naming your kids because they could suffer severe trauma during days of school and annoying kiddies where arabic is not their language.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stay away from complicated names:
Suwaibatulaslamiyyath Mohd Nasir
.
.
I did NOT make it up. She's an industrial training applicant. And I'm not accepting her...no its not coz of her name but because of her field of studies is not relevant to my company.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep it simple. you want an exotic sound is fine, but make sure its easy to write
Yuen Tsz Ying
even though Tsz is difficult to pronounce, its 1 simple syllable. So to all white ppl, learn it!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple and sweet:
Oon Sin Yee
Its got 9 easy letters, 3 syllables, doesnt get sweeter than this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The simplest of simple:
Easy to remember, not a mouthful, and even better, you shorten it and hey presto, you get another name.
Thomas Yap --> Tom. wonderful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But please oh please do not name your kids:
Mohd Halim bin Konek.
.
.

I AM NOT MAKING IT UP!
I found it in Takaful Nasionals records that I went through when I worked there.

Glossary of Automobile terms Part 3
Engine
- contains all the bits and bobs that make the car go vroom
Combustion
- fuel + air + spark--> carbon dioxide + water + global warming
Cylinder
-a chamber that holds fuel and air ready to be burnt.
Piston
-a block of metal that goes up and down in the cylinder chamber.
Spark plug
- peers into the cylinder chamber igniting a spark X times per minute. X = the rpm of the engine at any particular time.
Valves
-on top of the cylinder we have two types of valves, intake and exhaust.
-the intake valve allows air to come in so it mixes with the fuel.
-exhaust valves allow carbon dioxide and water vapour to storm out of the engine.
Carburators
-see Fuel Injectors ....jeesh only old cars use carburators.
Fuel Injectors
-electronically controlled, they inject a precise (very very tiny) amount of fuel into the cyclinder chamber.
4 stroke combustion cycle
-A piston in the cylinder goes up and down up and down X times per minute where X = rpm of engine.
Stroke 1 = Piston moves downwards, intake valve opens to allow air and fuel to come in - Suck
Stroke 2 = Piston moves upwards and squeezes (compresses) the air and fuel until it cannot be compressed anymore. - Push
Stroke 3 = Spark plug does its job and produces a tiny spark. This causes fuel and air to EXPLODE!!! Creating super amounts of pressure and heat that moves the piston downwards with hellbending strength. - Bang
Stroke 4 = Piston moves upwards again and exhaust valves open. All the carbon dioxide and water get blown out. - Blow
So the 4 strokes of combustion are PUSH -- BANG --- BLOW ---- SUCK

Glossary
Alright now part 2 of glossary of car terms.
Brakes: to slow down your car la. haiyo.
Brake pad: these are the grips that clamp onto your brake disc so it slows down the spinning of the disc.
Brake disc: attached to your wheels, as the disc slows, your wheels slow down.
Brake hose: contains the brake oil. Oil compresses very well, so as you step on the brake pedal, the oil compresses all the way to the pads hereby pushing the brake pads to clamp onto the disc. wtf
radiator: contains a battery operated fan that channels cold air coming from the front of the car to the grill....cooling it down.
coolant: Inside the radiator grill we have coolant. This coolant is blardy hot but once it passes through the grill it cools down coz of that cold air. Its normally green colored liquid.
Steering wheel: the round thing that is directly infront of your chest in the car. Its what Malaysians use to cause accidents by moving into any random lane at will.
Horn: used during emergencies. When you need to alert a car of danger or to let them know to look out for you at a parking lot.
Malaysians use it at traffic lights to wake up the person sleeping at the front of the lights, use it to call their maid out of the house to open the gate coz they are too lazy to open the gate themselves.
Egyptians use it to change lane,
to get the person in the front lane to move aside,
to scold,
to swear,
to alert the person walking on the street coz they are about to be run over if they not careful,
to say wasssup to their uncle, aunty, son, father in law, mom, brothers goat in the car next to them.

Glossary of Automobile terms
Next time dont la say bodoh kereta,
not nice. (bodoh = stupid)
If you dont know it, it only means you werent taught. It doesnt mean you're stupid.
When we are clueless about something we say we are blind in malay.
Saya buta fesyen.
Direct translation I'm fashion blind.
I am clueless about fashion.
Maybe to help those who just want to know what these terms are in simple english, I'll type out a little glossary.
Car = Autocarriage.
2wd = 2 wheel drive. The engine spins two of the wheels. Either the front pair or back pair.
4wd/Awd = 4 wheel drive. The engine spins all 4 wheels together. This equals ALOT more grip and more tyre replacing.
Gears = The ones on the bicycle that attached to the chain. Yah, those are gears. Sometimes we say "cogs".
Gearbox = Its a big piece that joins to the engine. Inside got gears/cogs, sometimes 5, sometimes 6, sometimes 7. Lorry mostly have 12 gears!!!
Transmission = all the stuff in gear box, gears, manual, automatic, 2wd, 4wd.
Springs = imagine just the car body, sitting on tyres. Without springs, all the bumps and humps, potholes, dead roadkill will transfer a huge JERK when you run over it. Causing your ass to hurt and head to hit the roof. Springs help take the jerk so you dont have to.
Absorbers = springs are awesome at taking up the JERK.......BUT they are lousy at jerking off. eh...I mean....loosing the jerk....(i shall replace jerk with jolt now).....so the springs pass the jerk to the absorbers. slowly, and carefully. Like those doors that close slowly instead of slamming shut.
Bonnet/hood = the front portion of the car that opens up. Not necesarrily containing an engine.
Boot/trunk = the back part of the car that opens up.(not necesarrily containing luggage space/engine whateva)

VW ( vee dig you)
I saw this pretty woman driving a Volkswagen Bettle this morning. The car was silver and the exhaust pipe at the back wasnt standard. I'm pretty sure she had a bodykit switch.
Anyway,
aih
They've now made the Volkswagen a chick car. maaaaaaaan.
Anyway,

The volkswagen Beetle is an icon. The people's car. Brainchild of Adolf Hitler.
This is a 1959 Beetle. Simple, Gorgeous And muscular.
This is a 1959 Beetle. Simple, Gorgeous And muscular.
Its Bumblebee for crying out loud. A robot from the planet Cybertron able to transform and disguise itself as a Volkswagen. Doesnt get more awesome than that.
Now this is the current Volkswagen Beetle. ???
Its pink and its got a vase so you can put your pwetty flowers in it. ??? oooooooooooOOooo its also a convertible. Woopedo.How can you put gentlemen in a beetle now? Its covered in marshmallow.
Volkswagen realised this back in 1980's when all those Beetles started going topless.
Thats how they came up with THIS:
Behold the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI Mark 1
It would be a dream to be able to see this on the road let alone drive one. Only a true blooded petrol head knows what this car is all about.Fast forward a couple of decades and we have THIS
A gorgeous Volkswagen Golf GTI
Smoking the tyres at a tremendous 7 seconds from 0-100 kmph, (thats half the time it takes for my car to reach 0-100kmph and my car is already pretty quick)What I love about Wolkswagens and Audis (same company, different logos)
they make these rockets with oodles of torque from a ridiculous 1800 rpm all the way up to 5000rpm. 280 Nm of torque to be precise
how do I translate that into laymans terms.
You sit in the car. Enter Gear 1.
Stomp on the acceleration pedal.
In other cars eg, Myvi SE,
you will feel your head "jerking back" at 3700 rpm --> 5000 rpm. (thats how we describe torque) (1300 rpm increase to enjoy)
In a Golf GTI,
you will feel your head snap back, brains splattered, paralysed, but heart still pumping at speed of sound as early as 1800 rpm --> 5000 rpm! (thats your neck bones crunched 3200 rpms)
Now THATS a true petrol heads car.

Mengapa?
She's so pretty.
She dresses well.
She's fun.
Exotic.
Did I do something wrong?
She wont talk to me.

Monday bluey
Something made me chuckle inside this morning
(some of you may know that I handle the industrial trainees that come here)
well I got this application letter by a University student from UM, then I asked her to get the uni to write me a letter as well.
hehe she replied
Dearest Mr Junaidi,
I will try my best to get the letter done as soon as possible.
thanks!
Kekekeke no one has written "Dearest" before. I wonder if she's hot.
**************************************************
Sigh
that donkey Alonso won again.
but yaaaaaaaaaaay Kubica managed to finish 2nd place. GO SAUBER!

Who stole my bag
You see the top of the bike, just behind the handle bars, (the red part of the body)
Thats the petrol tank. Now the body is obviously made of metal and therefore you can stick a magnet on it......that magnet is connected to....
.......this bag. Its magnetic.
And guess what.....
......Someone (most likely from Continental Sime Tyres buidling) decides to steal my bag. Yes it was on my bike from 8-5.30pm Thursday 9 October 2008.
The bag was empty. The only reason I brought it is because I used it to carry some kuih raya that I brought to work.
Now its gone.
And dont say "hey, at least your wallet and valuables are not there"
Coz the bag is worth Rm 240.
Most probably a Malay or Indian stole it.
Chinese dont steal, they cheat, but they dont steal. They have more honour than that.
Indians a bit more likely. As they dont earn much. Most of them travel by bike anyway. So they probably would want to have something like this.
Malays the most likely. Why?
Coz
1. Malays dont need to steal. They WANT to steal. Even though they know they can earn stuff like this but they want it all without putting effort. Its called curi makan (curi tulang, oh well same thing)
2. The person is in the building, it wont be a chinese, coz why would the chinese ride motorcycles, they can afford Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans apa.
3. 19/20 of motorcyclists in the building are Malays.
(And obviously the person is a motorcycle rider coz a car driver wont know how much the bag is worth)
So to that mamat, pakcik, minah, if you did steal it:
I hope you get syphilis in your nose and diaorhea in your mouth for the next 70 years. And hope your mom is damned to hell swallowing on satans pus.
Thank you.

A convo at work today
A little background info
(okay its my duty to handle the Industrial trainees at my office, as in, I know where to place them, give them a little orientation, print out their certificates of training etc etc and what have yous. Currently there are 14 trainees in the organisation.)
Faiz: erm...hey Jun, can I talk to you about something?
Jun: sure!
Faiz: alright uh, who do I talk to who takes care of the trainess? Do you do that?
Jun: depends what you mean by "take care" haha but yea you can talk to me.
Faiz: *sits down next to jun* Alright its a little problem thats been going on.
Jun: oh no
Faiz: you see, every morning, before 11am, all the milo in the pantry is GONE.
Jun: ...
Faiz: I must have milo.
Jun: O.O
Faiz: People in an office need to feel and happy and need a good working environment. And my happy place is my milo.
Jun and May: HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Jun: lol this is history repeating itself. Whenever we have more than 10 trainees all the milo is sure to be used up. LOL you have to get there as quick as possible.
May: you have to be a big boy now and drink coffee.
Faiz: I know but I cant drink the coffee or the tea coz I'll feel like puking. I'm allergic to milk tea and milk coffee.
May: haaaa are you suree????
Jun: loololololol could be.
Faiz: I'm getting withdrawal symptoms already!
I need it!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA

This little sweetie I met at AnW Subang. He's gorgeous and doesnt seem perturbed by humans. We sat eating our food and he's patient enough to wait till we're done to try and sneak up on us and grab some.
Heheheh he posed 2 seconds b4 taking this photo then when I pressed the trigger, he looked away. So typical of cats.
These two were found in a pet shop in damansara. The top cat was sleeping but had his tail outside of the cage. The bottom cat obviously noticing this had fun grabbing the tail and playing with it as though it was a soft toy.
This big dude reminds me so much of Garfield. And he's got this sweet meow. Ok ok some of you dont think its sweet, but I do. I crouched next to his cage and he began mewing. Sorry kitty, i didnt have any food for you.
Oh no this isnt a cat, but its the 1st perfume anyone's ever bought for me. Its from YSL (the girl's initials) and I'm not keeping it coz i miss her, but it does remind me of some good times. Long after we broke up I still used this perfume for going to balls, special functions etc etc. Theres about 2 ml's left.
I LOVE THE BIG FAT ORANGE OKAY!!
And I love cats.

They grow up so quickly these days
This is a Cyrtandromoea grandis or C.grandis for short. In malay its commonly known as Setawar. I grew it from 6 tiny shoots (rootlings?) and planted them in a small beaker. Lol they soon overgrew the beaker and I had to transfer them to this pot.
Tadaaa!
This was taken in May.
It is now October.

Oreo Cheesecake Recipe
esoh oops i forgot to post the pic of my finished cheesecake
Base
Grind about 20 oreo cookies (cream removed)
and mix with about 90 g of melted butter.
Place the mix into a springform Pan (i love these pans the inventor must have been a genius!!)
and even out the base by pressing down with a large table spoon or spatula.
-2 pk cream cheese (250 g each) I use Philedelpia Cream cheese but it costs so much I only eat my cheesecakes 1 spoonfull per day wtf.
-3/4 cup of sugar
(Beat these together on slow setting while singing to Mj's Beat it)
-add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup of sour cream (i go for 1 full cup of sour cream to make the cake softer)
Mix well.
Add 5 small eggs 1 at a time. (when I say small they about the size of 3 oreo cookies)
-Mix on low first, then rempit up to fast setting.
-Break the oreo cookies, (roughly 14 of them) into small chunks.
-The cream can be separated if you want and added to the mixture.
Fold the chunks into the cake.
Pour the mix into the springform pan.
Add a pyrex dish underneath the pan and fill it with BOILING water (this is the hard part coz water spills and omgyourhands get scorched even while wearing mitts. (okay fine I own oven mitts harharhar)
Put both dish and pan into the Oven and bake for 30 minutes at 160-170 degrees.
Then add a aluminium foil cover over the cake for around another 20 minutes. Allow the cake to sit in the oven for another 15 minutes after that without heat.
Place pan in fridge to allow cooling for another 10 hours.
Then
Eat like a pig.
