A Final Glimpse...

Hey guys,

It has been a while since my last post. I just do not have any thing interesting or even mundane (to say the least) to publish. With that being said, I had a crazy week since last Saturday. Why? Non-stop jogging/aerobics/cardios till yesterday. I was suppose to jog at 'Hutan Rekereasi' today but the weather ain't very promising. Instead, I wiped my car, dusted the insides, cleaned the mat, sprayed Febreeze (baru beli kat JJ pagi tadi, Anti-Bacterial kate labelnyerrr..) while Anna was having so much fun sitting at the Car Wash shop (sorry Anna hehe..), and jumped rope. It's just that I find it a waste of money AND water when you ask someone else to do it for you. Look at the benefits you will get when you do it yourself: water usage reduction (bole pakai air hujan - though not advisable due to level of acidity, recycled water - by this I mean, if you have big ass water filter for your home, you need to do regular/weekly backwash, so this little brownish water can be used to wash your car or water the plants, whatever you like.. macam T.I. plak), you get your calories burn, you will smile - this gesture is either the sign of satisfaction or you're happy that someone else is helping you and both of you are making jokes (takkan senyum sorang2 plak la kan.. nanti orang cakap "aper giler ke budak nih, senyum tak tentu pasal"), and best of all, you will not waste a single minute by waiting at the car wash. Plus, when you smile, the pleasure receptors in the brain releases endorphins. This endorphins promote a sensation of well-being and contentment. Oh and another plus, if you have been wanting to eye that hunky/blondie in your neighbourhood who usually jogs at around 6.30pm, you could well get another chance to do that. Now, maybe you will have the guts to smile to him/her. I'm JUST saying...


I've been wanting to make me potato salad. Now that I have found the easiest way to prepare it, all I need is mayo (for I have all the other ingredients needed). I'll do it next week.


So, since I am in my final term, my university allows the graduating students to publish their pictures in the Sigma yearbook. I liaised with the person-in-charge for taking the photos around campus and walla! those pictures below are the results.


I would not jog tomorrow as I need to rest my leg/foot muscles for the 10km charity run this Sunday. Guess what? I have to be at the starting point at 7am to register my number. Geez!

It's a lovely day.. NOT

Why? Class was supposedly from 4-6pm but it always ended earlier, like 5.10pm early! So, since I was already in my working out attire, I headed to the MMU field, read my Reader's Digest for 10 minutes. The weather was so nice to not be tempted to jog. And that was what I did. Jogged for 20 minutes. Then, off to aerobics plak. Another 60 minutes there. Whole body is feeling the after-shock. Need a rest...

Saje nak tunjuk the Scottish shortbread from England that my uncle gave.

And, I umm.. forgot to put this picture up in previous post. Deep-fried tofu, one of my favourite dishes at a restaurant called 'Sedap dan Murah' (yup, believe it) in Pertam Jaya.

Cheers.

Toyota Vios S, Vios J TRD

Well, well, well... Vios owners will have more than a mere spoiler to look forward in the near future. The TRD (Toyota Racing Development) will soon make their 'devilious' parts for sale. These parts will not only be just cosmetic, but parts that will allow drivers to go faster (I'm tempted already).

These parts include:

• personalised body kit
• sports wheels
• suspension parts
• exhaust systems
• sports seat (forget Recaro, they cost nearly RM 15K for a couple of bucket seats)
• sports air filter (oh goodie!)
• radiator caps
• brake pads
• TRD gear knobs, among others which will be developed over time

You might ask, what about the availability of the parts? Fear not, under the eyes of UMW Toyota Motor, you can expect more of these parts in Malaysia.

So, umm.. a reliable source (my brother) had drive tested the moded Vios S on the Sepang Circuit a few weeks ago. Here's the breakdown...

Vios S

• Top speed: 195km/h
• Engine: 4 cyls, 1497cc
• Power: 107bhp at 6,000rmp
• Torque: 141Nm at 4,200rm
• Gearbox: 4-speed auto 

Vios J (fitted with RM15K Recaro bucket seats)

• Top speed: 195km/h
• Engine: 4 cyls, 1497cc
• Power: 112bhp at 6,000rmp
• Torque: 141Nm at 4,200rm
• Gearbox: 5-speed manual
• Good: It's a mad, bad Vios; Strong front end grip; and mods do not affect warranty (yeay!).
• No Good: Suspension is too hard; Slim-fit Recaro seats are tough to get in and out of.

Fingers crossed that the all new modified Vios S and Vios J will bring more power and fuel efficiency.

Cheers.
