Yesterday I’ve collected my coffee table from GCF and today I’ve got a piece of decoration clothes for it from Home Harmony for just RM10 for two. Worth isn’t it?
Oh well, it’s not for coffee anyway, it’s suppose to be for my tea drinking purposes. Actually this is not the table design that I wish to buy but I was having difficulties to find the design that I wanted and this one seem simple and solid, so I just grab it … after all the main reason was that it was quite cheap lol.
Now I’m going to look for tower fans to help to cool down the place then I believe the area is more or less complete for usage. FYI, the tea set was a gift from my mum

I didn’t know it would really works that I’ve managed to sell off a sofa chair (or whatever you call it la) at Mudah.Com. It was indeed very effective that actually I’ve received quite a number of email to enquire about the item on the day I’ve posted it.
On the day itself, I thought the deal would go through when one of the potential buyer called up and request it to be reserved for a day as he would need to find way to transport the item. During that period, quite a number of people called up to confirm their interest but since I’ve reserve for the first potential buyer, I told them that I would update the status to them if the deal for the first buyer did not go through. It was true indeed that the deal did not go through as he was not able to arrange the transportation.
I open the item for grab again and within few minutes, the second potential buyer confirmed the deal. Item would be collected on Monday which is today. I was a bit worried that the second buyer would ‘放飞机’ but I just kept waiting and finally the guy came. A malay couple who stay nearby to my house, they were very happy with the deal. They admitted that I was selling it for cheap while I am also happy that I am able to get rid of it to make some space for my new tea table. Happy deal and thanks to Mudah.Com
Penfurnex 2009 July 26, 2009

Time to spent is here again, the Penfurnex 2009 is being held at PISA for furniture and some household item exhibition. This event is slightly smaller compare to HomeDec as it only involve the upper ground walkway and not the center of the PISA indoor stadium.
Ok, now let’s see what I’ve got from the fair. First is the Hard-Anodized Wok. Oh well, it’s quite unique in the sense that you use it to bake cake, cookies and cook like usual. It’s easy to wash, no special care is required which mean you can actually use it in anyway you like and it shall not spoil the wok. If it does, 2 years warranty so you still can claim it lol.
I also got myself a small coffee table from GCF which is quite cheap, priced at RM125. I think the table height and width is just perfect. The only down side is the table is not really something special with art crafted or antique look which would definitely suit better for tea session.
The final item I’ve got from this fair is a chair, just a small chair that Jane would be using it for working on her laptop. It’s quite a cute one, zebra stripes designs and it’s quite cheap too … RM110. Oh well, that’s all that I’ve got from this time fair.
Which To Choose? July 25, 2009

Today I saw one used Mugen GP rims in a tyre shop with the price tag of RM900. The condition I would say maybe 80% considering a bit of scratches and slight bend on the side wall on one of the 4 pieces of rims. Overall I think the price is worth it but on second thought, it’s used item which if possible I would like to maybe have it much cheaper than current price tag.
After getting quotation for both rims and tyres (after some long bargain session), the deal is set at RM1450 with 4 pieces of 195/50/16 Continental CSC model tyres as well as a set of lock nut. Oh well, comparing to the quotation I’ve got from another tyre shop for the same thing, it was only RM1640 which is RM190 difference but with brand new rims.
Now here’s the problem arise, let me start with the brand new rims first.
Brand New Mugen GP: -
1. Brand New (Pros)
2. Conti Tyre priced at RM235 per piece (Pros)
3. Rims weight is very heavy … almost requires both hand to lift it (Very Cons)
Used Mugen GP: -
1. Minor Scratches and slight bend (Cons)
2. Conti Tyre price at RM250 per piece (Cons)
3. Rim colour is gold (Cons)
4. Rim is light weight (Pros)
Oh well, now the biggest problem is the brand new one is ultra heavy I would say while the used one is quite light weight. However the colour and the scratches is giving me the problem … especially the colour which I don’t really think it would match my car for sure unless I’ve managed to turn my car into white in colour. I need to decide quick as this rims now is consider as rare item because production for replica has stopped.
One alternative is I get the used rims, repair it and spray it into the colour that I want. Then I would probably solve my problem but with additional cost incurred. Another would be I continue to search on for it. Really in dilemma now, which one to choose???
Still Not Ok! July 24, 2009

It’s quite frustrating that my car is still not working in usual condition even though I know it won’t bring any harm to my car, still the feeling is not nice.
It all started after I’ve change the Master Brake Pump and now the handbrake light just won’t go off sometimes. It would be there on and off from time to time, sometimes dimmer, sometimes brighter … to make it simple the light is on even after I release off the handbrake.
This coming weekend I’ll sent my car to the service center again and this time I need to get it repair as well as claim back the Master Brake Pump charges since Honda Malaysia has already confirm that it’s a warranty item which is suppose to be free. Damn!
Mugen Replica Exhaust Tips July 22, 2009
Posted by ~ bjlcm ~ in All About Myself, Friends, General, Interesting, Rides.2 comments
I was thinking shall I be putting Honda Visit – Day 5 as my post title since the last few days I’ve been on and off heading to the Service Center. Somehow I did not use it because today, the whole event is just for me to collect my car only.
Finally I’ve found one nice exhaust tips … actually my friend reserved it for me after cutting it down from his Honda DC2 exhaust system. Recently he has just change his exhaust system back to the original Honda DC2 exhaust and therefore since he has got extra and knew that I am looking for one, he just chopped of the tips for me. Fyi, I am not into performance but only one the look.
It’s indeed a nice exhaust tips, a Mugen replica with the stripes at the end of the tips make it a real-look-alike item. I’ve tried to match it to my car and it really look good but good is very much depend on person to person … some might say it’s Ah Beng’s car and some who appreciate the item would find it nice. Of course I fall in the latter one.
Now my only worry is that the tips itself is about 1.6kg in weight. I fear it’s too heavy for my current exhaust system to support. Hmmm, see first how la … need to get advise from some exhaust shop for better solution lol. Really loving it!
Honda Visit – Day 4 July 21, 2009

Oh no, this is getting bad as everyday since Saturday I need to go to the Honda Service Center to get my car fix. It seem like this whole thing has made me more or less losing some faith on Honda brand.
Today, the brake warning light issues is still there. I took a video clips with my camera phone to show it to the service center that the problem is not solved. Again, I need to go to the Service Center again. This time I would only be able to do it during the lunch time.
After getting my car there, explaining the problem and blah blah blah … this time they recommended me to claim it from Sendi Honda Service Center to change another one since I need to claim back the payment I’ve made for the part too. I took the opportunity to request for them to make a full checking on my car if there’s anything else which is in faulty condition. It’s good since my warranty will be expiring soon … why not?
I would need to leave my car at their place as one particular item which I complain is the noise of engine during cold start-up. They need to try to re-produce the problem so they requested for my car to be left overnight at their place so that they can try to reproduce it tomorrow morning. Reluctantly, I agreed to it. This time much better … no charges for checking lol.
Honda Visit – Day 3 July 20, 2009

This morning when I just started my car engine … I heard some metal knocking noise from the engine bay. As I tried to hit the accelerator pedal, the noise get louder by bit and then gone. I felt something is not right as I have never heard of the noise before this. As I was just about to hit the road, the noise came again on and off … it seem like whenever I tried to hit the accelerator, the noise just got louder.
Feeling helpless as I not able to pinpoint the noise cause, I rang up my boss and applied for 1/2 day leave to get it fix. I went over to Vivahills Honda Service Center in Bayan Lepas area and I was the first customer of the day then. I was there slightly early, 7:45am while the business hour started only at 8:30am. No choice, wait lol.
By then, I’ve already got everything registered and explain the whole situation to the service guy. They tried to solve the brake warning light but found nothing is wrong though the light is still there. They tried to clean the wiring that connect the master brake pump to the electronic compenent, hoping for better contact to solve the problem. Oh well, at least temporary it solved.
As for the noise, they found the cause, it was the belting and the pulley according to the service engineer. He recommended me to change … oh well, gonna cost me another few hundred bucks. Finally I decided I should change instead of just letting the sound to be there and wait for something big to happen. Gone another RM298.00 and my 1/2 day.
However one good news I learned about was that the master brake pump shall be a free item as my car still under warranty of Honda Malaysia. Can’t really understand why Sendi Honda Service Center charged me in the first place. Anyway I gonna make a claim from them after confirming with Honda Malaysia HQ.
