Mugen GP Rims June 30, 2009

It has been one of my last three items I have wanted to do to my ride, that’s to change the rims. I’ve been sourcing around, survey and etc for my only target at this moment which is the Mugen GP rims.
I’ve seen it at Relau unfortunately they only have 17″ and could not find any for 15″ and 16″. I also went to my usual tyre shop in Ayer Itam but they do not have it unless I can show them the picture and they order it for me. I found one in my hometown but the finishing and quality seem not … sorry to say it was real bad and not up to my expectation.
Today I went to the original shop that I first saw the rims to get quotation. I seem cheaper than the first quotation given by the lady boss (this time is the boss himself quoting me). Rm1200 … fair deal I felt. Unfortunately I wouldn’t want to commit to it yet while I plan to survey in Bukit Mertajam area by this weekend before making any decision.
Seem like the urge to own it is strong in me now. Hopefully I can find a good deal soon.
Washing My Kancil & City June 28, 2009

It has been quite a while since I last wash my car, I think almost a month back. This time I not only doing it for my Honda City but also my Perodua Kancil which was virtually my legs during my years in the University.
I started washing my Kancil at 7:00pm … it doesn’t really take me long do wash it, probably only about 20 minutes but cleaning the interior seem to be the tedious part. I took off all the carpet, throw off all unwanted papers and rubbish, vacumn every single corner of the car … the same goes for City. Then I wash the carpet … leave it to dry lol. By the time I finish, it’s almost 8:00pm then, time for dinner.
After dinner, continue with to wash, this time is my City. This is slightly longer, almost 40 minutes. After completed, it’s time to dry it so that I can wax it. 30 minutes to dry both car … seem fast isn’t it. Now come the nightmare … waxing the car. I actually hate to wax but I know by waxing it, the car would look brand new which I love the feeling. Waxing Kancil alone too me about an hour. I ended up the day with complete wax of my City by almost 1:00am in the morning … my neighbour thought I was crazy … hahaha.

Today I am back in my hometown and after surveying around in Penang for Mugen GP rims, I would really love to try my luck if I can find any great deal in S’wan instead.
After my lunch, I just drove around to check if there’s any shop which I can get quotation from. I went quite well known tyre shop but to my disappointment, there’s not much rims available and worst of all, the boss just don’t seem to know quite a number of brand I have mention. Maybe he is into those branded one while I am looking for replica stuff.
Just as I was about the leave for second shop, yup I saw another shop lol. Just right opposite, a big corner of three storey shop lot, the rims is displayed just right everywhere by the windows. I think there would be at least 300 rims in that shop to choose … so here I am!
I started with just browsing around the shop if I can find any Mugen GP or Advan RG2. I can’t seem to find any although there’s one GP alike but the finishing is nowhere near the Mugen GP I’ve found in Penang. After checking with the boss, he claimed that he is able to order for me at quite reasonable price and as for Advan RG2, he has already ordered but it’s not reach yet. I did enquire for the tyre price as well, seem reasonable too … oh well … this shop is definitely in my KIV list now 
Shop Details:
Huat Tyres & Service Centre
75, Taman Ria Jaya, Jalan Raya Omar,

Today we have a special farewell dinner at the White Cafe (yup, we just went not long ago lol) for our dear colleague, Siti Sharifah. Why would I say that it’s a special farewell … well, actually it’s a farewell that she never actually leave us from company-wise but only department-wise. She’ve been selected to further challenge her job scope in the HR Department from 1st July onwards.
Oh no, she have been one of the nicest colleague to have, very outspoken and I would say open minded in term of thinking and many many more. I would really miss her for being so good to us and also how she extend our Tebim presentation report submission deadline. I not sure if I were to do anymore presentation, would I get anymore such privileages or I need to start to learn to do thing on time
Anyway it’s great that she’s still in the office and best of all, she has now turn to be my user as I am the IT person supporting HR. Anyway, see ya around!
Change of Chipset June 25, 2009
Posted by ~ bjlcm ~ in General, Techno Related.add a comment
It has been quite a while that my 6 months old Hitachi Plasma TV giving me some problem. Initially it could not detect my S-Video input signal but after the service technician came and did something, it seem ok.
Now I am facing another problem, this time is the screen goes black by itself and sometimes just refuse to turn on even though all the plug and cable is well secured intact. It leave me quite frustrated as sometimes I really do want to watch some dvds, it just turn off by itself during the critical moment … very frustrating lol.
Anyhow, I’ve managed to get the service technician here again to check what is wrong with it. I certainly won’t tolerate with the quality anymore as Hitachi is one of the world leading plasma tv manufacturer, I doubt they are having such a low quality component. The technician came to my place at 9:00pm (good service that he tried to accomodate to my time) and brought along a box of item. Not sure what is it, I just started to explain all the problem that I am facing but he just look calm. He took the set off the mounting and started to dismantle the whole set.
It’s the chipset, he said. He suspected that the chipset was faulty and he will replace a new one while I can live with it unless it comes back again. It seem to be good idea as he mention that this is actually his first time hearing the device behave in such manner. Anyway, within just 30 minutes plus minus, the replacement is done. Tested ok and delivered.

It has been quite a while to wait for the juice extractor to reach and on Saturday, finally I’ve managed to collect it. Oh boy, I’ve not really tested it out yet, maybe one of these day lol
After bought this Electrolux EJE3000 juice extractor, I did went around to survey if most of the juice extractor in the market price more or less the same. Wow, I found there’re a lot of other brand which would cost more that even some is more than RM1k … very much to my surprise lol. Seem like the one I’ve got quite worth it … hehe
