A reader asked me what the internet speed will be like on the highway via a Celcom Broadband Connection… This is a screencap taken as the car was passing the Gua Tempurung stretch on the North-South Highway (northbound)… Not too shabby eh???

Vroommmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Hmmm after hearing many horror stories of friends being stuck on the highway for hours and hours due to the reunion dinner rush, I had an epiphany, what if I were to start driving when everyone was sitting down to dinner??? The result, KL-Ipoh in record time… Looks like I shall adopt this approach for the years to come too!!! GONG XI FA CAI!!! POWER TO THE VTEC!!! POWER TO THE ONG!!!

ARGH!!! Frustration x 1000000000!!!
Warning this is gonna be a bumper post... My thoughts are not very coherent right now, so bear with me when I gel many unrelated topics together... Thanks for your kind understanding...
The second form of the last boss for heavenly sword is a pain!!! I know all I'm supposed to do is deflect his shots and roll around (ad infinitum) but I can't seem to do it... Come on heroes are not supposed to roll around like that... Heroes stand and lay down the bitch slap!!! Frustration x 10000000000000000!!!
I don't mean to be a pussy but I've tried many times and I feel the frustration involved is not worth it... Therefore, I will graciously accept any offers for save games...
On the xbox 360 front, I've managed to hit level 120 with celine and unlock extreme mode!!! I've just started a new game with curian and it seems to be keeping me busy for now...
On a side note... I've just picked up a used copy of FF III for the ndsl (hehehehe only RM 70.00!!!)... Looks like its time to dust off the little thing and get some game on... However, I would need a charger before I can do anything as it seems that I have misplaced mine... Frustration x 100000000000000000000000000000!!!
Oh here's a cumulative update for the fuel consumption as well... Who knows how many months I've put this off...
Here are the numbers (over a 3 month period)...
Petrol: Shell Super
Value of gas pumped (G): RM 1115.91
Volume of gas in litres (G / 1.92 = L): 581.2 litres
Starting value on the odometer (A): 6918.4 km

Total distance traveled (B - A = C): 7904.0 km
KM / L (C / L): 13.6 km/l
Ratio of city driving to highway cruising: 5:3
I don't know how often I'll be updating the fuel consumption numbers but, rest assured that I will do it from time to time...

Before you start rubbing your eyes, the numbers are correct... the numbers are inflated (the full capacity of the car's fuel tank is 49 litres) as I topped up rm 20.00 worth of fuel on the way back home from an outstation business trip... After which I forgot to reset the meters and so, it got mixed up as one cumulative update...

Rojak...
Warning: Highly disorganized and disjointed post ahead... Cramming in alot of unrelated items in no particular order... Oh and there are a fair bot of pictures as well... So it will be a bitch if you have a slow connection... I would resize them and stuff if I knew how but coming to think of it even if I did know how to do it, I would probably be too lazy to bother... Urm crap, well enough of that.. Urm well you've been warned...
Where should I begin??? Hmmm I am too buggered to think so I'll just post in the order that it comes out of my head...
Urm another fuel consumption update!!! YAY!!!

Fuel consumption was better all round as I didn't get cheeky on the roads... If I can continue exercising restraint with the 7 speed manual mode, fuel consumption should be fine...
Ok fuel consumption update aside... Heck its trivial but who cares... Its motoring related... Ok here goes... You know about all those irritating satisfaction surveys over the phone??? Well for the first time I actually made time for the person at the other end of the phone and answered 15 (or so) random questions about the new car (and circumstances leading to the collection of the car) and a few days later... I got something in the mail... What did I get??? Well I got a LEATHER NAME CARD HOLDER!!! NOT JUST ANY NAME CARD HOLDER MIND YOU??? A SUPER UNCLE BLACK LEATHER NAME CARD HOLDER!!! Well not to be an ass or anything, I sincerely appreciate the gesture but I already have a name card holder... It's called a pocket but heck you guys are Japanese so I doubt you would understand... Anyway どうもありがとう。(thank you) guys!!!
The thank you note...
The SUPER UNCLE BLACK LEATHER NAME CARD HOLDER...
Another view of the SUPER UNCLE BLACK LEATHER NAME CARD HOLDER...
In highly unrelated news, I've been thinking about the wedding alot... And I mean ALOT... The finances are one thing (because the quotes are slowly trickling in and its gonna be a bitch... A REAL BITCH to pay for) but that isn't the main thing on my mind... The main thing is how things will change after I get married... I mean for Jeanie and I... I mean to most people it would mean that we become Mr and Mrs Yoroi360... What about the other stuff??? I mean like the size of my family practically doubles in size (heck I don't even know 20% of my relatives and here I am procuring more), her 4 year old brother becomes my brother in law (which effectively makes him the uncle of my future kids), people will start classifying me as an uncle (and Jeanie as an aunty... A hot aunty is still an aunty ok), I'll have to start giving out angpaus to a bunch of money grabbing midgets (to the guy that said "Giving is better than receiving", you can go suck cock and die ok???) and I'll start having her family over at the house (thats really gonna cramp my style man... I mean really)...
Well I don't mean to sound like a pussified excuse of a man or anything, but I sincerely think that all that is worth it because she's better than all that... OK THE EMO STUFF IS OVER... FOR ALL YOU IDIOTS LAUGHING THERE... STOP IN 2 SECS OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS SO HARD THAT YOU'LL ONLY WAKE UP AFTER THE WEDDING IN 2008... See its not so funny anymore isn't it...
Ok... next... I had a talk with my father today and the topic at hand was kinda weird... Apparently he is a little upset with the fact that I am kinda upset with him... And apparently he has been trying to call me for weeks but each time I picked up his call I didn't say anything... Its either I've been in the twilight zone or something because I am pretty sure none of that happened... Oh well I'm sure its not a problem that some whiskey cannot fix... He'll be in town on the 5th and 6th anyway, so I'll assess the damage then...
Hmm since we are on the topics of fathers, might as well talk about mothers as well... Jeanie's mom just came out of an operation on the 17th and for the life of me, I can't seem to pick up the phone to call her and ask her how she is doing??? I don't know why... I just can't... Is something wrong with me??? Hell I hope not...
OOOOO I know what I wanna get off my chest... Region coding is a BITCH!!! Why my sudden disdain for region coding you might ask??? Well last Friday I picked up the "Two Disc Special Edition" of 300 and I went home to watch it on the 360 (which can upscale dvds via a vga connection) and WTF do I see when I pop in the disc???
The dvd that was supposed to bring me joy instead of popping an artery...
REGION NOT SUPPORTED!!!
Region Coding Map from Wikipedia...
I forgot that the Japanese 360 plays region 2 dvds while the dvds in Asia (outside Japan) are region 3!!! If you need more info on region coding for dvds you can find it here...
ARGH!!! Geram!!! Hmmm just thinking about the dvd again is getting me kinda pissed off... I don't feel like blogging anymore... Heck I am going to sleep...

Fuel consumption was slightly better this time around because I behaved myself when I was on the road...
Well enough of the fuel consumption thing... You see, I can't sleep because I've got lots on my mind... its not like I am some sort of profound thinker... its just that my mind is filled with many random thoughts right now and some of them are pretty scary... Before you idiots think I am going insane, please allow me to correct you dumbasses by assuring you that I am very sane... well actually more sane than most...
Anyway, I have been thinking alot about the impending wedding and I... urm and I... urm... and I have been working my butt off for so many years that I seem to have lost sight of most of my friends... heck I can't even name more than 10... all the people I know these days are either suppliers, clients or coworkers...
I mean is this right??? Have I really forsaken them all by doing the responsible thing of working my butt off to try to earn a living... Have I given up on forging social networks without placing an objective on the endeavour??? What have I done??? What have I become??? Its come to a stage where I have more business cards of work contacts than photographs of friends... Heck even 6 out of 8 numbers of my speed dial are work related... I don't even recognize the names in my phone book anymore... Is this right???
You see its thoughts like these that keep me up at night... I keep telling myself I need to do something about it but, its always the same... I just get caught up with work until I forget about it again...
Who will I invite to the wedding then??? Who??? Relatives??? Heck I haven't kept in contact with them either... I can't even remember most of them... Work contacts??? They may tolerate me at work because of my rank so who knows if they will really come... Clients??? That may be construed as a conflict of interest... so it might get messy... Who then I wonder??? Who??? Would you like to come???

I mean is this right??? Have I really forsaken them all by doing the responsible thing of working my butt off to try to earn a living... Have I given up on forging social networks without placing an objective on the endeavour??? What have I done??? What have I become??? Its come to a stage where I have more business cards of work contacts than photographs of friends... Heck even 6 out of 8 numbers of my speed dial are work related... I don't even recognize the names in my phone book anymore... Is this right???
You see its thoughts like these that keep me up at night... I keep telling myself I need to do something about it but, its always the same... I just get caught up with work until I forget about it again...
Who will I invite to the wedding then??? Who??? Relatives??? Heck I haven't kept in contact with them either... I can't even remember most of them... Work contacts??? They may tolerate me at work because of my rank so who knows if they will really come... Clients??? That may be construed as a conflict of interest... so it might get messy... Who then I wonder??? Who??? Would you like to come???

Wahliao!!!
I'm home and I'm dead tired... But before I sleep... Here's another fuel consumption update...
Petrol: Shell Super
Value of gas pumped (G): RM 58.63
Volume of gas in litres (G / 1.92 = L): 30.537 litres
Starting value on the odometer (A): 1677.6 km
Ending value on the odometer (B): 2053.2 km
Total distance traveled (B - A = C): 375.6 km
KM / L (C / L): 12.30 km/l
Ratio of city driving to highway cruising: 4:1
The fuel consumption figures are higher this time round due to the large amount of city driving involved... Revved the engine more as well as the roads were generally clear...
