Malaysia 2010 Redux... Part 1

Missing pictures! Enjoy.

Interior of our rental: Hyundai Matrix. Good car, bad seats.

Little penang cafe in KLCC... was pretty good 2 years ago, not the same today unfortunately :(.

I ordered Mee Kari

Could be much better... It has practically nothing in it. Meh.

Kak Cah ordered ABC! (Ais Batu Campur)

Rahimah ordered Char Kuey Teow (I think my KC Kuey Teow is better...).

I came to little penang in 2008 with Yeng and the rest of the gang for a little gathering and it was 10x better than this... not sure what went wrong, but probably different owner/cook/chef. Oh well.

We went back to pick up our luggage and took some pictures before leaving for the night flight to Alor Setar.

Aiman!!!! He's so cute!

Thanks Mak Long for your hospitality... Wish we could have stayed longer!

Our AC in the Subaru has been taking too long to cool the cabin, and sometimes it smells kind of damp and moldy when the AC is on. Changing the cabin air filter was the solution! Yay for better, healthier air in the Subiru!

Reminder to self: Change every 6 months, not 12!

hamzahpc is sick...

As per your request, Hamzah, I changed the layout. Hope it runs better for you.

Here is what I found after analyzing your crash minidump files... Memory error.

Lets take out the 512 MB module and see if it runs ok with just the 1 GB module.

Huge weekend project...

Upgrading my 1994 Prelude for better ride comfort, handling and overall safety. Imagine that these parts we're replacing are probably 16 years old... 2 years younger than Wasil!

First I would like to thank both Zuhri and Chris for helping out with this major upgrade. Definitely would not be possible without their help.

Objective:
- 2 new front brake rotors (Brembo blanks)

- 1 new drive cv-axle (left driver side)

- New brake pads (2 per side, total 4)... Ceramics from O'Reilly's... no pics sorry.
- 4 new springs (Eibach pro-kit) - Lowers the car 1.2" at the front, 1" at the back.

- 4 new shocks (Tokico blues)

Time to put these in, after the break...

My 94 Prelude

My car, had it for a year (almost). Haven't really posted much on it, basically it has been my daily driver since. It has its shares of issues but nothing that major.

Since I bought the car, I've changed:
- Both front upper control arms (bad ball-joints)
- Ignition module
- (removed car alarm system)
- Couple interior panels
- Resolder climate control
- Reconnected radio head unit
- New battery
- New distributor cap/rotor
- New driver side front quarter panel
- 2 new front tires
- New windshield wipers (GoodYear)
- New spark plugs
- Routine oil change
- New ignition wires

Here are some pics dated March 7th, 2010 when I wash my car after the harsh winter!

Dirty car...

Read more to see the car after the hand wash!

What spider is this?

Saw this on our living ceiling in January.

Do you know what spider this is? Also read more for another sighting of another spider...

The war is coming...

Aired during NBA Finals! Woo!

“Make no mistake. War is coming, with all its glory. And all its horror.”
Arcturus Mengsk makes an appearance, as well as other recurring characters Jim Raynor, Zeratul and the Queen of Blades

Sarah Kerrigan, in its former Terran form, is shown as well (nope, that is not Nova) in a flashback sequence which shows the episode she is betrayed and left alone to face her supposed death by “hand” of The Swarm, in one of the most epic and key story moment of the whole StarCraft’s lore.
