About Apple iPhone, From My Eyes...

Missing MH370: My Thought On How The Chinese Media Portrayed Malaysia

First of all, I need to make myself clear that i'm not being insensitive to the relatives of the missing MH370 victims. What I am about to say may not be to your liking (particularly if you're from China) but I still feel that I need to voice out in respond to all negative comments regarding how Malaysia handled this incident of missing MH370.

Toyota Prado 90: Aircond Major Service

Weird. I only realized that "Aircond" is not a recognized word but we have being using this word day in day out in Malaysia for as long as I can remember. Okay, for those who don't know what an aircond means, it simply means air conditioner and of course in this case, i'm referring to my Toyota Prado 90's air conditioner.

This was a long due service so expected to cost a bomb. I didn't go to my usual car service center (again, if you are aware of any good 4x4 workshop in Kota Kinabalu, please recommend to me as i'm getting sick of their service) as they don't do aircond. One Saturday few weeks ago, I went to a workshop specialized in fixing car aircond. This was the first time I visited this workshop. 

Weirdos, Craziness and Success....Strange Combinations?

Am I a weirdo? My wife always reminds me don't be one. It's shameful, she says. But there's part inside me that always wanted to do crazy stuff. "Crazy Stuff" as defined as acts that "NORMAL PEOPLE WILL NOT DO".

Logitech® Keyboard Case for Ipad® 2 By: ZAGG, My Experience

Recently, I have being looking for a replacement for my notebook for word processing purpose. I was looking for a device that is extremely portable, one that I can type straight away once I activated it. After several weeks of window shopping, I learnt quite a few things about product on offer in the market nowadays and why most of  them are not suitable for me, unfortunately.

The Missing of Malaysia Airlines MH 370: From My Eyes

About seven days ago, at around 2.40am on 8th March 2014, a Malaysia airline flight MH370 of aircraft type Boeing 777-200 carrying 239 people on board went missing from radar. The flight departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and was expected to land in Beijing around 6.30am the same day, however, during the handover of air traffic control from Malaysia to Vietnam during the period the flight entering the airspace of Vietnam, Vietnamese air traffic control failed to detect MH370. Malaysian air traffic control tried to detect MH370 but to no avail too.

Toyota Prado 90: Service at mileage 172,813KM

I have just sent in my Toyota Prado for it's service recently. Nothing major repaired so not much to log on this blog. Total amount paid for this service was RM235.82. This include change of motor oil, labour charges on service as well as change of a set of front wiper.

Normally on average this is the amount I pay to service my 4x4. I used to pay RM300.00++ for different brand of motor oil so I consider paying RM235.82 to be quite reasonable. Engine still going strong as at today, no complaint on the motor oil I currently use but I do have hell lots of complaints regarding the attitude of technician from this workshop that I visit regularly but, more on this some other time. I would really appreciate reader to recommend me any other workshop with specialty in servicing 4x4 vehicle around Kota Kinabalu area. By the way, i'm using 76 motor oil.

Sickening Society

Yesterday, came across this news shared by a friend of mine.

Because of things like this happened, people are becoming more hesitant to help out. I see people keeps blaming of how heartless the Chinese are but this is the kind of thing frequently happening in China. If we want to blame, blame the government for failing to safeguard the neighborhood. I seriously think that the authority should compensate this kind-hearted fella for all his losses and suffers.

ASUS Radeon HD 7790 Direct CU II OC, My Experience (Not a review)

I have always wanted a higher performance graphic card for my desktop with the primary reason, the ability to play PC (Personal Computer) games with descent eye candies but have never willing to pay more than RM600 or about USD180 for this reason (yeah, I know I'm stingy but hey, I'm just an occasion gamer). I did have a slower performance graphic card previously which came in the form of Gigabyte Radeon HD5450. It was a good budget card which came at a cost of RM129 (USD40) but will not allow me to play my preferred PC games at higher graphic setting.

Last June 2013, I came across a review regarding ASUS Radeon HD7790 Direct CU II OC from Chip Malaysia Magazine

Roadstone Tyres

Have anyone of you heard of a tyre brand called "Roadstone"?

Neither do I, until yesterday after I changed two rear of my Prado tyres. My previous Silverstone tyres were wearing out and this weekend i was going to bring some of my Thailand colleagues up to the Kinabalu National Park and so, decided to change the tyres for the sake of a safer journey.

A Year After Leaving Labuan

This is a delayed post.

Today is 23rd July 2013, about a year after leaving Labuan...

Judging People

Who are we, to judge someone's life a success or failure? The moment we start to judge is the moment we start to get arrogant and ignorant. The best person to judge his success or failure is that someone himself, not us.
