Super glue continued
This is how i ended up with right hand fingers stuck together.
I needed to glue a piece of velcro onto a polishing pad so I rode out to 7-11 to grab some superglue. At Rm 3.90 i was sceptical at how well it would perform. Boy was I in for a surprise!
To use the glue tube you have to poke a hole in the top. you do this by jamming the "spout" into the top and hey presto you get a hole. (the spout has a sharp pointy bit)
I believe the hole wasnt big enough, so I jammed it in somemore not knowing that the spout had already done its job.
Before I could say "daaayuum!" I already had about 0.1 grams worth of super strong fathur mucking glue all over my right hand.
GAAARGGHHH
I spent nearly 15 minutes getting the glue off with thinner and GooGone adhesive remover. No hope. I can only wait till the glue dries up and my dead skin falls off.

It'll take days just to get it all off.
Grrrr.
Anyway
My car bonnet will be repainted soon!
Yayyyyyy
14 days from now to be exact.
You know that ruling the Malaysian RTD has come up with how backseat passengers have to buckle up? My question is, why now?
I mean its 2009,
surely in 1999 they would have thought of this. Still my mom says it will take awhile for people to get used to this ruling. The front seat belts were not fully utilised for at least 10 years after the ruling was established.
I'm riding my bike everyday to and from work. Since I'm perched higher up than cars, I can clearly see what goes on in those 4 wheel vehicles. Of the cars that are carrying passengers at the back, 8/10 dont buckle up back there. And more astonishing, I see kids aged 6-10 running around (or in this case climbing around in the back seat) while their parents just drive without care for whats going on.
Le sigh.
I have an 11 year old niece. And I'm proud to say she buckles up at the back without you asking her too. She's also one of the best behaved primary school kids around. *BEAMS*

LOL
Scene takes place in Japan
Once we were done at the temple, we drove to our lunch place. All the way, I was busy taking photos, then in the distance, I saw a black shadow, it walked on all fours.
I knew instantly that it was a monkey, but for some reason, I yelled out the chinese word for gorilla!
Everybody looked, but the monkey got scared and ran into the trees.

My house
This is the downstairs lounge of my house people. I didnt have anything to post so I thought I'll post this. Cant call it the living room because no one goes there. Cant call it a dining room or hall because no one eats there. Its for guests to sit and chat if they come over. As you can see, the theme is blue-ish green with beige here and there

Review: Meguiars Car shampoo line
After more than a year of detailing experience with these products, I will do a little review.
You see I use Meguiar's to detail my car, I dont like cheap, and I expect the best for my car.
First up is the consumer line
Gold class shampoo and conditioner.
This product comes in 3 bottles
473 ml @ Rm 44
1892 ml @ Rm 60
3780 ml @ Rm 120
You may purchase them at Parkson Grand, Eneos Car Centers and ACE Hardware.
If you're someone who washes your car yourself then this is the bottle for you.
To mix, for every 10 ml of shampoo, you'll need exactly 1.28 L of water.
Heres a quick table
10 ml + 1.28 L
30 ml + 3.84 L
50 ml + 6.4 L
100 ml + 12.8 L
The results are gorgeous as this shampoo is meant for a quick wash if you dont have the time to wax when you're done. After washing, you'll find that most of the water on the car is gone so you save time drying the car.
My rating
8/10
This shampoo is from the meguiars professional line up. You'll see why.
It comes in just 1 bottle and can be purchased at just 1 place, Hypercoat Subang Jaya USJ 1
3780 ml @ Rm 160
To use it, mix 10 ml of shampoo with exactly 4 L of water. Yes, you read it correctly.
10 ml + 4 L!!!!!
Heres a table
10 ml + 4 L
30 ml + 12 L
50 ml + 20 L
100 ml + 40 L
Just for reference a mini cooper requires only about 20 L of water to wash.
You can see here that this shampoo is highly economical.
Assuming you wash the car everyweek,
and you use 50 ml each time
you get to use this bottle for he next 1.45 years!!!
Unlike the Gold Class, this one doesnt have conditioners. So it does basically just one thing, wash.
Be sure to top up your work with an LSP (Last step product) like Meguiars Tech Wax.
However I find that it doesnt dry as quickly as the gold class.
My rate 9/10

On Malaysian motorcyclists
Motorcylists in this country must be either really skillfull or really foolish.
Yeap, in this BOLEH country motorcyclists know how to SMOKE WHILE RIDING
aaaand
SMS (short messaging phone service) WHILE RIDING. That means one hand on their phone and the other on the accelerator while keeping 1 eye on the phone and 1 eye on the road.
awesome.

Some new toys for 2009
So I dont get Christmas presents coz I dont celebrate Christmas, but thats all good.
I got myself a few New Year 2009 presents. Is there such a thing?
Meh, I dont care.
But yay, this means I get to expand my business just a little bit.
This is the Hitachi Rotary Polisher. In the wrong hands, it will punish you like a black stallion on a rampage. But with practice and utter respect for it, its a.....great companion that no detailer should ever leave home without.
Respect, respect and respect the rotary polisher.
Next
This is the Karcher K2.01 Pressure washer.
Capable of blasting pressurised water jets, the gun is able to remove all that grub, mud and dried, caked on brake dust with ease. Takes about 5 minutes to set up with a garden hose, uses regular 13Amp 3 prong household electricity switch, 1 on/off button and a trigger on the gun to make cleaning the car a joy.

Meanwhile
I return to my office after spending a couple of minutes in the lab.
I can feel something or someone looking at me.
I feel eyes training on me like a sniper with a bulls-eye target.
I then turn and see only a pair of eyes looking from behind a low walled cubicle.
GAH, an unexpected visitor.
Its.....

LISA WONG.
Lol this tiny lady is so small that you only see her eyes when she sits at one of our cubicles.
Like a cat sitting quietly pondering its next move.
You can barely make out the shape of her lips like a feline's unreadable expression.
With all the ferocity of a deadly hunter, you never know what the cat is about to do. Instead, it lets out a 'meow, a purr, and greets you hello'
She smiles and says "hey"
LOL
I love Lisa.

Long rant
There is no cure for stupidity.
I read a comment in the Star Newspaper, the column where readers may send in an SMS and complain about this and that. One of them was
"Malaysian drivers are fools"
I cannot even stress how true that is. To make this easier, I shall put gripes in bullet point:
1. While driving, stuck in a traffic jam, I remain in the left lane (there're 3 lanes in total)
and some dude in a wira comes up behind me from the left of the left lane aka the Emergency Lane.
First of all, emergency lanes are NOT driving lanes.
He then gets impatient and tries to use it but cant. Because I block him from using it. I sit in a queue for 20 minutes and am not about to let some punk overtake selfishly. But he manages to get through.
Then he finds himself at a bottle neck, because his emergency lane ends, therefore he then has to cut into the left lane, causing me to stop otherwise I'll hit him. Fucking retard.
2. Malaysians do not realise that the right lane is for overtaking only. Yet some still hog the right lane at speeds of 80 - 110 kmph. This is cruising speed. If you cruise, use the middle lane. If you go slightly above 110 kmph, USE THE MIDDLE LANE! Rightlane is for OVERTAKING.
3. The largest population of retards are Motorcyclists. Like the main road, the motorcycle lane follows the same code. DO NOT OVERTAKE FROM THE LEFT.
and DO NOT TAILGATE. This poses a threat not only to the idiot, but the person in front of the idiot.
4. You cannot say much about the slow granpas because most of them keep to the left BUT they drive at 40-50 kmph. The motorcycle lane speed limit is 70 kmph. They are being safe for only themselves, it poses a danger to those behind them because we cannot overtake as bikes are coming from behind at 80-90 kmph. HOW LA????? You're stuck behind them.
5. Motorcyclists have no idea where is a safe spot to stop. ooooh he needs to answer an SMS, therefore stops safely at the side of the road. Are you nuts?? Theres barely enough room for 1 bike, you have to now stop at the side. Please stop 20 meteres away from the bike lane you moron.
6. Most Malayians dont know the meaning of the white line at the end of your street. So they will never know the meaning of GIVE WAY. You cannot simply barge into a lane and then treat the lane like your grandads sister's son owns it.
7. Back onto the road, a person tries to overtake a slow vehicle, speeds up naturally, but idiotically approaches the vehicle.
Imagine before overtake, car infront is 20 meters infront of you. Then you speed up and approach the car, now 10 meters. The you try to overtake, but too late, a car on the right is too near, so you cant overtake, meanwhile, car infront of you is now 5 meters.
You = 110 kmph
Car infront 80 kmph.
Distance 5 meters,
It doesnt take a fucking genious to know that you now have to JAM ON THE BRAKES.
Using up unnecessary fuel and brakes.
This is the proper overtaking manouver.
- Back off the throttle (thats accelerator)
-keep about 4 cars behind the car you wanna overtake
-drop gears (if manual) 1second
-look to the right to see got any car or not, and signal same time, ready to step on the gas 1second
- if clear, now step on the gas and make the overtake. 4 seconds
- After overtaking, be sure to signal, and move back into the middle 6 seconds AFTER you've passed the vehicle.
Total time to overtake is 12 seconds.
You dont overtake lasting 1 minute.

wednesday blues
Traffic on the federal highway today was gorgeous from 8.15 to 8.30am. From the subang toll leading to the turn off at sunway, cars could not move, why?
Coz of a car stuck on the right side of the highway.
*evil laugh here*
(oh wadahek) BUAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Making matters worse, petrol prices have gone down a whopping 90 cents the past 6 months.
From 2.70/L to 1.8/L.
Now the number of cars on the road have increased 5 fold I bet.
again...
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Yeap, petrol goes down, nothing done about public transport, HIGHWAYS get clogged up (no not main roads, not lanes leading to a parking building, but a HIGHWAY)
So number of cars increased by 500% however, i bet that only 30% of those cars carry more than 1 person on the road. Hey i'm guilty of travelling solo as well but at least my vehicle only has 2 wheels and 1 seat.
Here are some thoughts
1) What if there could be an incentive for car pooling?
A car may go through a toll booth for free IF there is more than 1 passenger. Yes yes babies included.
So bring your babies to work people!
2) Special parking slots available for those who car pool.
Those who arrive to work with more than 1 person in the vehicle gets the privillege of a ready parking spot. (wait a minute, i think Digi already has this)
NOW WAKE UP! (splash cold water)
It wont happen because this is MALAYSIA lahhhh!!
Boleeeeeeehhhhhhhhh!!!!...NOT
