Think K20A's better?

Alot of EK fanatic are now opt for K20A transplant, instead of keeping the traditional, yet classic B16B engine, thus ruining its 1.6最速 or Fastest 1.6 reputation, although K20A is by numbers faster than B16B, with more updated technology in it and a being more lightweight then B16B, results of comparison on track shows the other way......
Spoon's EK9 w/ B16B clocked 1.02.960


while the Spoon's EK9 w/ K20A clocked 1.03.380


talk about end results......

Ford Focus RS

One of my fav cars of all time, its hatched, its turbocharged, its four-wheel, sweet...........^^
Here's 1 with Fifth Gear testing it with Jason Plato..

Touge run with DoriX

Its been quite a time since this, DoriX has all the credit for the camera holding, i'll have another vid shoot set up quickly afterward.....

Stupid Han Chiang!!!!

OK, bros, take my advice, if your not into Mass-Comn, PLEASE, dun participate in any other courses where HAN CHIANG COLL offer....................

I've taken which i believe is Automotive Maintenance course, which comprise of Level 1,2,3 and takes a year and a half and a average price of RM12k+, quite cheap compare to de'spark or TOC...the course sucks, although it does tell u that u get to learn stuff bout transmission....turbochargers...engines.....chasis....none of those gets into ur head, i was there for 1 year and a half and the things i learn there are like, 50% from DoriX, 25% from my own study and net-surfing, and 20% from class's theory, and another 5%? Practical...........yup, i only learn 5% of practical stuff over there, and the teachers? Hmm...........L-O-S-E-R......plain plain loser......one is really helpful, another realli wanna help u although they don't 100% sure bout that thing, but some are just plain dumbass......enough of that, the worst part haven't come, EXAM.........ever wondered how their exam was conducted? Level 1, just by present at the exam room and ur declared pass, Level 2, go there, check and correct A valve clearance, with the examiner beside u TEACHING u, and your consider pass, Level 3, reassemble an auto gearbox, would be more challenging, if theres a examiner bside u....which they aren't any present that time......, and walla, thats how i graciously proudly achieved my LEVEL 123 cert, woohoo!

Next stop, CnG, which was City and Guild, its basically Automotive Maintenance being thought back in English instead of previous Chinese and Malay, and add in alil bit of Engineering Stuff, first day we receive a whole portfolio contain 10 papers for us to do, each papers consist of 50 selection ques, in 3 days i have completed all 10 papers, but must i say, the ques is blurry, the answer are arguable, the standard is kinda off, some are realli blurred ques in which the ques itself can lead to alot alot of answers, while some doesn't even have a real answer in it....ok, but still i finished wat i can and i leave out those that i consider blurred ques or arguable ques, in 3 days, thats how dedicated i am in this thing, cuz i dun wanna waste any more time and money, wat i can learn i wana learn more, what i can achieved i wanna achieved it at best....

Thn came today, which was the exam day of CnG, for the rec, none of the question we've ever come into b4, the teacher himself tell us tat there wont be any ques that we'll recognize, and that we're the first batch into CnG in Han Chiang so there must be sacrifices, there must be guinea pigs to be tested, and we're the guines pigs.....ok nvm, i walk into the exam room with hopes i can pass, and the first paper i got out with distinction.....but wait, theres more, inside the exam room, the teacher was there, helping out students out, THIS IS NOT THE WAY IT SHUD BE DONE, damn it! Fifi was rite, shud i go to Aussie there wont be any 'ghost' in the exam room helping me out, which is why i'm so damn frustrated in the canteen DoriX, i didn't know the ques at all, i'm frustrated at myself, i'm frustrated tat shud i go to Aussie how am i goin to pass with flying colours if i don't even know the answer...i'm frustrated that i pass the first paper with distinction and failed the second paper, and we don't even get to know which ques we answered wrong, how do u expect me to pass on the resit of the paper???? The practical went well.....but the second paper.... The truth is i have this sorta perfectionist personality in which may not seem at my appearance but i tend to do everything nicely and according, which is why i can't accept why i failed the second paper, and that why i put everything on the line, i dedicated to it and still i failed whilst other ppl who aren't that dedicated can pass with all distinction......its realli shudn't be this way bro......

So fuck Han Chiang.......

Livin the fast lane...

21th, Kean Wei, my Sejati football buddy called up and ask that we go out for some outdoor activity, well ok, so we hop into his newly bought Viva, which i must say, is a great family car^^, Kean Wei was lazy for all the fetch and drop of other friend so he ask me to take the wheel, and i must say, ride felt comfy, although it does take a while to adjust to the ride height, but after awhile it felt great, the steering is quite nimble, while the car has slightly understeer it still proves alrite though, one thing is that i think its Drive-by-Wire, as i can't seem to heel and toe in it, once ur leg tapped on the brake, even by a lil bit, ur throttle wont increase more than 1k, no matter how flat ur legs ar, which mean no heel and toe, no leftfoot brake.....hmm......but still a pleasant ride for a family car, hey, who needs heel and toe and LFB in family car?

anyway, was goin out of Tmn Sejati when a loud roar came by behind me, check this out...
Ferrari 360........

The sound is just amazing.........things like this doesn't always comes out in sp though...
And so, the journey continues, and we ended up nite afterward, where the race car's spree continues, first we're on our Zi Lie's hs, and while going there, the pearl white ( oddly its not Championship White ) Honda Civic Type-R EK9 was there, present at his neighbour hs, the car has whole Type-R bodykit, with the ori rim and 5 hole lugnut, but has 96yr's tailight but 99yrs front lamp, plus the paint.....makes me wonder if its really a Type-R at all, or maybe jz a EK4 extreme look-a-like......but anyway, we proceed to Subaidah nasi kandar later as MU are up againts Blackburn Rovers, Rovers really fight through second half , but to no avail, MU wins 2-1 courtesy of a Rooney goal and a spectacular C.Ronaldo free kick(the guy's a wizard), but around 80mins of the game, came another loud roaring, this time more volume and has that impreza boxer sound, yellow in colour.....putra? Damn, its....

Its Bamboghini Gigolo as my fren called it hahah.... its a Gallardo and boy its a pretty, the 360 sound has more smoothness and has the high compression superbike sound; but the Gallardo is another different story, it has the loud menacing roaring even when idle.....hmm talk bout supercars...

But the fun doesn't end here, as we were goin back, we decided to go to Ah Bai to grab some nasi lemak first, on the way out, saw another white hard top 350Z, i wasn't wow as i've seen alot in png.......but then, came a rare, grey colour, malay driven S15 Silvia.......hmm talk bout driving in the fast lane......

Sin Min Under-18 (1) vs (5) Tunku Ismail Under-18

Last 15th, i went to a friendly football match between my past and beloved school, SMJK Sin Min and SMK Tunku Ismail, was really heart splitted as i have 2 of my team's best player both on each side! Ben on SMJK Sin Min and Yao Hui on SMK Tunku Ismail, both are Form 4 by now, but both have proof to be able to cope and played againts older people.....

While i was anxious to find out how does Sin Min fare after my last game as Sin Min's keeper back in 06, and the result.......lets just say the 06 team was way better x10 then nowadays Sin Min.....and SMK Tunku Ismail team....

To my surprise both team was surprisingly bad ! For under-18, both team could have played better......some doesn't even know how to stop a ball in Sin Min team......with 3 most experience player up front, Sin Min's defence was ripped through 5 times, while Han Ying's lil bro Han Quan scored the consolation penalty for Sin Min.......

It realli lets me think back..........shud we.......shud I have save those goals we got scored in our last Quarter Final match againts SMK Bedong, wonder how far can we go.......well, our team that time was the most and i mean THE MOST strong team Sin Min had in history, i can proudly said that i kept 2 consecutive clean sheets in our first two games and that was a first in Sin Min history ^^, we had the most strong and confidence defence, Olahraga-cum-Left/Right Backs Yi Ren and Ah Giam, probably the most outstanding centrebacks that rivalled those found in Penang's Chinese League, Wei Xiong and Piyapong, the most hard working and commanding midfields, general in middle as well as a very very good keeper that surpass me, Twon Fong, Heng Wai, C.Ron aspired right wing, Pern Chiat as the Gerrard like Left wing and Kean Aik aka Ah Aik stand below covering our centrebacks , with promising striker Nithiyan, Han Ying, up front banging them Malay goalpost, it was realli a dream team for Sin Min and even the Malay's coach admit that they were frighten of us.... hmm....if only that small little keeper can be abit more good that time....hmm....

Honda Accord SA6 of TOV160R

An artistic shot of my fren Wei Kit aka TOV160R's Honda Accord SA6....














Wei Kit's the one who bring Touge Temple of Vale to the highest standard i can imagine, he's really one fast guy around TOV, although may seem noobie noobie to ppl who don't know him, he's really serious when goin touge, or by his term, 'Battle Mode' haha, untill now i still doesn't think i can follow him or lose him in TOV, i really consider him to be the fastest among us, Siang's with the most 'Bola' and me being the slowest^^



















Wei kit when he was err, Form 4 haha gay pic!









And now's him, with Ruby his gf

Followed by a sad evening.....

Its late 11 over, i was hanging out with my football buddies from Tmn Sejati at Subaidah nasi kandar, must i say Roti Hong Kong is one delicious and worthful thing to eat^^ but as we were chatting, Michelle called......She's a fren of mine, a realli realli good fren, and most probably the sweetest girl i ever met, who's crazed for fish ball, ok intro done. 

She started texting me bout something bothering her, she was obviously saddened and down by the way she texts, and a while, a :-( emoticon was all she send come, and after a while, she ask me to call her, and so i did, she was not happy tat time, as something to do with her bf scolding her for something impractical, she was clearly troubled by this thing and started crying afterward..damn i realli hate seeing her like this, the reason for their argument are quite personal and i dun wanna say it out here, but the reason is very very impractical......

She's ok d, for now, but still it has ruin my evening, and the fact that she cried so hard just.....makes me......haix....

Dun let other ppl screwed up ur good mood and always be happy Chelle2~

A fun afternoon

I'd promise Siang to have his long awaited Beef Noodle at the bus stop of Sg.Petani, locals may know it by Big Nose (大鼻), it was quite nice although Siang still eager to try out the famous one near Jeti one, anyway......after lunch we hanged out in Central Square since Siang needed to bank in some money to to other people, while in the car park, we spotted a lovely classic car, its known as the Sceptre, from what manufacturer, we don't know....

Love this thing on the front windshield, don't know how much downforce it puts out

After Siang bank in the money (in which there was another Gen2 with TRD sticker on the whole body, sad i cant take it down fast enough, weird ppl everywere....), we decided to go to the flower shop since Chew ask us to help spot some good v-day gifts for him.....but when we got there the flower guy wasn't there, he was out taking a time off, so we thn proceed to MA Veerapan, which was a half cut shop, to kill of some time, its this kind of place that man got to spend 2 or 3 hour, just like a girl can spend 2 to 3 hour in a boutique, well, what can we say ^^ And the trip wasn't time wasting too, as i had my eyes on this O.Z Racing wheel which from the way it looks, is for rally use, check it out:

How will it looks like on my car?

Tire was Advan Neova

And some other 'finds'

Yokohama Advan Neova on top, Dunlop Direzza Z1 on lower side, judging from the contact patch from Z1, it shud feel grippy just like the Neova too....hmm..talk bout large contact patch...

Old skul, Advan Neova AD06 (the model up there was AD07)

Turbo anyone? 

Keep diggin, and you may find yourself a blackened, oilly GReddy T88??

After our stay at the half-cut shop for one hour or less, we head back to the flower shop to see wat v-day extravaganza we can find, well, lets just say they were tempting haha (to giv to girls la)And so since i was in Siang's car and my car parked at the bus stop, Siang kindly drop me off at there, but at the meantime we see a group of ppl and wondered y are their making a fuss, well closer look reveal that 2 malay, 1 uncle and 1 kind like 25-27?(shirtless!) fighting, Silat Styled!!! damn, me and Siang swiftly parked the car and went to have a detailed look(so sampat we both) but the fight was over as we got there....

So Siang and me parted ways as we're going back our home and at the same time, took some pic...

Siang's nicely doned Wira with C-West front, side is my hehe car....

Yes, Siang was in Team Orange, but then he gt fired by them and thus scratch him of their list, including this scratch sticker, a proof he was scratched of, by Team Orange^^

Well i had mine too haha, my sec mod to my car, a RM5 sticker from Toms, wat it means? Hehe...

A bad day....

Ok, today start of quite on a low note, as i wake up quite late, around 12.30pm, was gonna go to the friendly match between Youngster United's Junior team againts Chung Ling Under-18 at Hamid Khan school, 5.30pm, so did my morning routine, and watch Transporter 3

Was quite a movie, except that i find it alittle bit not-entertaining, since Frank was forced to transport something, instead of he doing the transporter willingly, but anyway, watch untill 2pm, going sleepy mode, so did another routine to keep my adrenaline going, when Chew my housemate came back and break the bad news for me, seem that Thaipusum had alot of road leading towards Greenlane are closed, and leave me no choice but to use the unfamiliar road near Jeti to go through Greenlane, which i found it to be impossible to get there in time and back again to pick up my hsmate Kit's GF from Gurney, so skip the match thus telling the first choice keeper that i'm not going ( yeah, i'm just a sub, walla), so stay at house till 5.30 when i saw a two teams bout to start a game near the T.Bungah field, so tot that i'll go look around, mana tau, it was just a Korean junior team from Dalat International School and their aren't any good either.....well there goes my time going and coming back to home, sat around and its time to go fetch Kit's GF, Ruby, and after going back home i have to wait 2 hours somemore untill i had my dinner, which was a bad maggi goreng from the new Khaleel Nasi Kandar located near Tanjung Tokong's 7-11, so beware, if your going to try your luck in that new Khaleel...

Amaury_reno

Just got home at 1am jz now from grandma hs, so now pretty nothing to do, surfing around and wondered, whats Amaury realli means?
Ok, for my frens, y i choose Amaury as my eng name as well as nickname is because of an actor, Amaury Solano, which is a Latin guy use which drives a Mazda RX-7 FD in 2F2F, and plays the character Sucre in Prison Break, a very very special person saw this name when we're watching 2F2F and thn tell me to use this name as that friend says its quite special, according to my friend, it means Love (from the word Amor maybe?) But anyway, done a few searches and this is what pops out:

Meaning of Amaury : Amaury comes from the French word which means, "Name of a count.".

Origin meaning : (German) Bravery and power; work ruler
( French ) Form of Amory or Amery

Pronunciation: (AH mawr ee)

Additional info:

Combination of the german 'amal' meaning "work, bravery" plus 'rik' meaning "power, ruler."
Brought to England by the Normans. This is a given name which evolved into a surname and in modern times, appears as both. This is the French form.

Amaury may also be from 'helm' meaning "helmet" and 'rik' meaning "ruler."

Numerological Meaning:

People with this name tend to be very spiritually involved. They are often found lost in thought, philosophizing and can be quite eccentric. They can be quite successful in an analytical field, or as a business owner

For my forum nickname i usually put amaury_reno, for Reno:

The Meaning of Reno: Reno comes from the Spanish word which means, "Abbreviation of names like Moreno. A city in Nevada..".

Surprisingly......

Numerological Meaning: (Same as Amaury)

People with this name tend to be very spiritually involved. They are often found lost in thought, philosophizing and can be quite eccentric. They can be quite successful in an analytical field, or as a business owner

( That friend tells me that Amaury means Love and Reno is bravery with no limits, and that my friend wish that i have the bravery of no limits to love someone)

So walla, Amaury_reno i am^^

Superhuman

Damn gud this song, i actually think chris brown does a better job when singing with someone else then when he sings alone....hahaha but reallli, this song i've been hearing for like 3 to 4 days non-stop untill my housemate has bored by it haha



Superhuman heart beats in me....

Dalat International

Jz now aftenoon was same training with T.Bungah Rangers football team, their junior team was having a friendly game againts Dalat International Soccer Team, in which the whole team is foreigners, from US to Jap to Korea and although their in theirs 16-18, i can realli see the difference in foreigners and m'sia people's football.

1st, they have female supporter, for the first time i've never seen female spectator so into football, they were constantly supporting their own team, this is a sign of their own people getting into whatever their own ppl are doing, unlike our nation's 'i do what i like only', other nation's ppl actualy get involved in whatever their nation is doing.....

2nd, they have supporting critics being given out at players all the time ; while all we give is demoralizing critics, they have a miss kick or a miss pass, 'Its alright, keep it up !', while ours players do mistake, 'Oi nombor 12, hang reti main bola ka? Hang keluar la!'.......talk bout getting the spirit out of you...

wish our nations has these two things in their mind.....
Btw the Dalat team beat the T.Bungah team 2-1
