Durian Intake Charger!

Beware ....

Haze came and went, weather is changing from humid and hot to more humid and hot… the mood here overall took a backseat and sort of on cruise control anticipating the couple of public holidays that are upcoming …
Christmas seems to be the big one that many are waiting for.

But then again the toils seem the same …

Life is not getting any easier.

There are many entrepreneurs in the market …some come up with ingenious products and solutions others comes up with a lame gimmick and half assed marketing to sell a feel good idea to the gullible few.

These days you can’t believe in what you read or see … many gimmicks shows poorly written technical notes which sole purpose is to confuse the minds of the gullible and most of all the uneducated … some like to slap a couple of bogus or meaningless Dyno charts to justify that their “gadgets” can indeed add horsepower to your car ….

Many fail to understand that nothing comes cheap … and all these small devices are merely useless bull being added into their expensive rides and risking a total melt-down of their engine and delicate computer systems …this is what Icall sad.

At the end of the day the cheap half-assed marketing gets to you … especially true for “gadgets” made by backyard companies without any investments whatsoever in real R&D due to their limited capital… Putting stuff into your car not only poses risks to your property (car) but also carries a certain amount of risk to your well being …. Imagine doing 180 on the freeway and suddenly your entire engine shuts down and you loose all control to the vehicle? That’s totally unimaginable but can happen to the gullible ones.
Like medication you wouldn’t take any drugs brewed in someone’s backyard with the neighbors’ cat being the only clinical trial subject?

But frankly we can’t really blame the gullible as many people in Singapore likes to get something for nothing …it’s a culture and mentality … that would allow unscrupulous cheap-skate so called “inventors” to siphon your hard earn money into their own pocket.

However, it’s fair to trust manufacturers who have the mass to support their claims – e.g. Pivot voltage stabilizer. These companies are indeed large enough to have the capacity to QA their products hence I would buy something from them.

In contrast some home-made backyard Tan Ah Teck locally made products has to come under greater scrutiny because we are not sure of their quality… the more desperate they seem (half assed marketing) the more wary we need to be ….there are tons of Voltage Stabilizer …some use fancy naming which is totally meaningless …..choose wisely ….your life and ride is priceless ….
So all …beware of such people out there! More interesting stuff is on the way- stay tuned.

MOONCAKE FESTIVAL IS HERE

The Definations -Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as “Harvest Festival”, which is one of the most well known Chinese Festival none other than the “moon festival”
The Date -The date of Mid-autumn Festival also known as Chinese Moon Festival is on the 15th moon day of 8th Chinese lunar month (Chicken month). Since the new moon day is the first day of a Chinese Lunar Month. The first day of 8th lunar month in the year 2001 is 17th September 2001, the Moon Festival is on 1st October 2001.

This is a day to worship the moon god. According to folk legend, this day is also the birthday of the earth god (T'u-ti Kung). This festival signals that the year's hard work in the fields will soon come to an end, with only the harvest left to attend to. People use this opportunity to express their gratitude to heaven (represented by the moon) and earth (symbolized by the earth god) for the blessings they have enjoyed over the past year.The Chinese believe in praying to the moon god for protection, family unity, and good fortune. The round "moon cakes" eaten on this festival are symbolic of family unity and closeness. Pomelos are also eaten on this day. The Chinese word for "pomelo" or "grapefruit" is yu, which is homophonous with the word for "protection," yu, expressing the hope that the moon god give them protection. Moon gazing is another essential part of this festival. On this day, the moon is at its roundest and brightest. This is also a time for lovers to tryst and pray for togetherness, symbolized by the roundness of the moon. Unlike most other Chinese festivals, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a low-key holiday, characterized by peace and elegance

The Bengs and Lians

We are familiar with complex sexual display in males, and theories as to how such indulgence can be an evolutionarily justified use of resources. But little attention has been paid to the female's role. The Ah Lian is a good model in which to address the question: as well as behavioural displays, Ah Bengs attract females with decoration displays on the rides (commonly Cheebics, Getz or Vios), a unique breed of cars known for their high ratios between loud and performance. And it seems that Ah Lian’s behavior can be a factor in maintaining complex displays in Ah Bengs. Manipulation of a male display trait (Product Stickers on the car body e.g. HKS, Momo, Recaro, Brembo) shows that in the initial stages of mate choice, all Ah Lians respond to this decoration. But in the later stages, younger females continue to focus on stickers while older females use Ah Beng behavioral display to choose a mate.
It was thought that the use of vocalizations by males to attract mates and defend territories is widespread in birds but uncommon in mammals. This is untrue according to the WTIC Research group. In the Night spots Ghin Nah Breed of Singaporean males defend small territories in and around their mediocre rides and produce complex audible “vocalizations”. During the night, Ah Lians move about within these territories, and Bengs with Lians in their territories have higher ONS success than Bengs without Lians. To determine call function, we recorded Beng’s vocalizations on the Clubbing scene around Zouk and made behavioural observations of the focal Bengs and nearby Bengs at the time the calls were given. Noisy Techno Beats were directed mainly at other bengs whereas Chinese Pop (e.g Andy Lau etc) were used primarily in interactions with Lians. Two other types of music coming out of the rides were given independently of any observable context and may be involved in territorial defence or conspecific notification.

New Gimmick?

I heard: Hello, if you say its a gimmick then keep quiet after these two post and walk away... There are people interested to know what it is about, but you don't want to know so please. Anyway for your info, I just tap onto the air-con pipe and will not remove any part of that pipe...
Now here's something better called the COLACOOLERCHARGER (CCC) COOLS your engine and COLA at the same time!

OVERTAKING LANE - Kar Cheng

Many noobs posting on MCF ..one of them :Untld said:
Heehee, I agree.. I am also a tailgater, I only tailgate if its overtaking lane and the car in front is hogging with clear traffic ahead. I will first highbeam and if it does not work I will tap horn, then proceed to do both. If the driver still persists I will overtake then brake, then I will proceed to roadhog and let the driver feel how its like being behind a road hogger. All these provided traffic is clear and does not cause obstruction to others, otherwise I will just overtake and cut in then tap brakes and speed off. Well I dare say I have not road hogged, and even if I was travelling 120~140km/h on lane 1 and a faster vechicle came up from behind I WILL ALWAYS GIVE WAY...

Where do we stop?

Where do we stop? Kids these days think bigger is better ....huge tailpipes that don't even add 0.1 kw to the engine performance and fancy "mushroom" CAI, RAM intake that merely increase the top speed from 180 to 181.2kmph ...so what's the deal ? is it just a pure ego trip?

Tuscatfish - some general knowledge...

Tuscatfish (order Siluriformes) are a diverse group of car-fish. Named for their prominent "barbles", which give the image of cat-like whiskers, they are found in primarily highway or expressway environments of all kinds, with species on every Asian continent except countries that don't import Koreans. Some species from the families Ariidae and Plotosidae are also found in Asian environments. Not all Tuscatfish families have barbels; what defines a fish as being in the Siluriformes order are certain features of the hood and wierd bumper designs. These Tuscatfish may have enhanced (aftermarket) gills but the internal lungs are small and limited. Due to genetic limitation it's overall health and resistance is very bad thus it's often called "can see but CMI" - Reporter for WTIC

Stop Whining .....

Are we all the victim of our environment?

Some may say that they have no choice and the world as a whole leaves them no other options.. We see people who are successful and people who barely make enough for their meals. Two extreme ends of the spectrum but all in the same environment (generally).

Are opportunities the same? I believe so.

So what happened along the way? Are we born unequal? Are there genetic codes for smart people and codes for losers? I don’t quite think so. Or maybe along the way some alien in the guise of a hot model abducted you and inserted something into your brain that makes you stupid ... as I see it we can sum it up to that of making decisions ... we are making decisions every single second of our lives ...picture yourself in a middle of a maze ...every single turn and every single step determines the outcome or where you will be the next minute. So I believe people who turn out crappy in life have either made sloppy decisions or live life without making any decision...however a maze is intertwined where you can turn “Shitty” to “success”, the catch is: time ... the hourglass is emptying itself every single Pico second.

In other words the world is the platform where individuals are trapped within their own little maze and trying to get out. So which part of the maze are you at right now?

So to the 90% (Published stats) of Singaporeans who makes less than $5000 a month, don’t blame the world for not making more, don’t blame your teacher or your parents …blame your freaking coconut brain in your skull …you haven’t made the right choices ..So keep making em.

The Killer lampost...

"Dumb" posted in MCF : Like to share my experience. I had been parking my car at the same spot year in and year out under a lamp post. It's bright and I could see my car from my kitchen windows. No bird **** and no tree leaves except night dew. Though the car was washed regularly and well taken care, the paint work on the roof of the car started to fade after the 4th year. Gathered it must be the lamp post and the night dew.

What's with gals and being fat? it's so obvious that when you see some chicks who are clearly fat to take certain angles for a shot. they tend to take a photo at an angle or using their arm to cover their flabby flabs... i think it's ok being fat ...it's well sometimes unsightly and unhealthy but sure beats fatties who pretends to be hotties...cmon ..who can't see em flabs ...no matter how u hide or doctor your pics and compose your image ...when we see you we see YOU and your flabs ...being fat is cool pretending not to be fat is dumb.

Living in denial.

Some forummers mentioned that I am “like” a “small kid” and that I am living in denial and here’s what he wrote:

“like a small kid shooting something down just because of one black sheep. Getz what I mean? (Pun intended)”

Wow and he got smarter along the way with a nice pun ….

No let me clarify this. I am shooting down gets not because of one black sheep …I am shooting down at those black sheep…why people just don’t get it ? It is interesting to note that when I say that people with ego complexes tends to be very protective and sensitive to any hint of insult or attack. This is a natural reaction that has been inherited by our first ancestors way way back… let’s look at our human Phylogeny and let’s stop at Homo erectus 1.6 million years back is not too far back … they lived in groups (say up to 100) and any groups that has KNOWN vulnerability will tend to be very protective because they know they’ve got all to loose…a gust of wind may set off a full defensive formation and in today’s context a light toot at a Getz will set off a bee accelerating like crazy (although we all know what the max speed and max torque is) The point is you don’t really see comments like “who says EVO cannot make it?! I’ll prove it to you with exhaustive explanation and possibly jio you to a race” now reason is simple …you don’t need to prove something known no one will get any satisfaction out of that … hell do we see many Getz driver go all the way into ….”power to weight ratio” “pulleys” “Cams” “turbocharged” all this for an opportunity to prove that Getz can make it (and the term can make it is relative). Trying to rebut or substantiate that a vehicle “Can Make It” only serves to admit that the person already know Getz Cannot make it hence the need and want to Prove ….you see what I am saying here ?

Tailpipe condom

Yes you heard me right. A "Torn tailpipe condom" you've seen one I'm sure ...you'd probably have one. Ever seen some guy who has absolutely no sense watsoever in the fine art of vehicular asthetics?

Now it should start something like this...a dude who knows little why exhaust tailpipe was there in the first place believed bigger = better ...same when one was to apply it to the male anatomy. So that dude just got his new ride ...feels shiok...go ahead and visit some car accessories shop... sees a "Bolt on Tailpipe" and pays for it ....went home and bolts that darn thing onto his tailpipe ...everything looks great and he may even take some pictures to post in some car forum and calling it ..."my humble ride just got a new exhaust" and gets flamed along the way. As weeks pass by due to vibration we will see a "torn tailpipe condom" effect ...

Now that's some interesting crap...we've also seen some really funny tailpipe antics ...and the next candidate I call ... the tailpipe EDF or tailpipe erectile dysfunction. This is where the dude purchased a bolt-on tailpipe and forgot that his stock tailpipe is pointing downwards but heck! He had already got the bolt-on..and goes ahead and bolt it on...that's when we see the tailpipe EDF.

So why do you bitch? Come clean with me …everybody bitches …some more than others but obviously girls bitch more than guys. How many times were you guilty of complaining that your job is boring and it’s not putting the right type of food on your table…you want to switch job but then you don’t think anyone would pay you as high as your current job? So you drag yourself to work trying to not look at the hour hand on your watch hoping time would really fly so that you can pack your bags say goodbye and go home. And when that’s all said and done you repeat the entire routine the next day only longing for the 6^th and 7^th day of the week where you can take a break? All I can say is Wake The Bloody Hell Up ….. Too many people have been conditioned since young with some freaky Asian culture that in my opinion should be shaved off from our prefrontal cortex forever.

We have been told to be told what to do, we are afraid of anything “uncharted” or “unknown” we want things to be “certain”. The Path Less Traveled will never be a thing for us. We as a whole are too dependant on our Jobs ….if we were to strip down this whole Career crap, I see a job as a “trade” like buying food... Everyday is a new trading day...you go to work …you give …the organization accepts your services and pays you at the end of the month so you can put food on the table. Nothing more than that. So if you are not happy with your job stop bitching about it and find other ways to put food on your table. I hear some dude goes …”oh this is my “Field” I have a degree in Computer science, so I cannot get out of this field” I say bull freaking crap. Working life is like a circle of friends … the are initial hierarchy as a basis from the start, subsequent arrangements of the line of authority depends purely on people to people relationship … so I feel we should not really focus on how many degrees you have, how many major or what class of degree you have but how you deal with people … so my question is …are you really happy with your job? If not why not change? Otherwise just take today and multiply by the number of years till you turn 90 in other words till you kick the damn bucket.

The starting line

I freaking hate bloggers and blogs, so why the heck do I even bother creating one? you may ask. Hell I don’t have the answers to everything and this is not a typical blog in my books. But my friend Isuzu or otherwise known as the Jif- man suggested that this could possibly be a new avenue for me to do some serious suaning. Some of you may be really confused what the deal is but I don’t really care. This is our world, a world of complete idiosyncrasy; where souls have been walled, people killing people, people thinking so highly of themselves that the human nature is lost within the immense neuro- synaptic traffic of useless information.

The younger generation has been pre-conditioned to believe that they are equipped with the tools to handle to world.

Only in a world of deliberate skewing of ideology can it come close to making true sense of the word– LIFE.

It’s here that you will find some really crazy nonsensical [blip] and in our world of cascading knockoffs, sanity is often found where logic has gone for vacation.

This aint some “ I speak for the people”, banned columnist crap nor is this a “I look cute see my pictures” turd-log either … as to what this really is? You decide.

Send in any images of Singapore you find interesting that’s worth skewing ….skew away.

What's with this breed of drivers that makes them so irksome?
Just the other day I was cruising down our state-of-the-art expressway exquisitely laid down with tax payers’ monies.
Things were cool, everybody was driving as usual and we get the regular mix of drivers – the inconsiderate taxi drivers who is somewhere between a hawk and a very hungry hyena, the reckless young drivers in daddy’s executive rides, the posers who drives cars that looks like something else other than what the manufacturer intended it to look like, the “under aged” drivers who drive puny cars like Getz, Picanto and the likes, the dreaded P- platers and one interesting lot would be the Civic drivers …. Most often than not whenever I see a young dude behind the wheel of a 1993 -1999 registered Civic I could almost guarantee a myriad of sound effects… the sound before Vtec and after Vtec is different according to some Civic drivers …it’s this change in “sound” that triggers their adrenalin rush.
I believe if we were to list the types of drivers on our roads it will take pages but then again …why not ….list away!

Some people snap at me for telling like it is. They say I am shooting down at other people's ride. Frankly I don’t see what being frank and deliberate insult have in common.

For a start a car is a mere tool, a hardware, an instrument and definitely do not always become an asset in the regulart context.

For example whenever I comment on the fact that Getz suck big time, there are people who jumps and tries to bite at me. But the truth of the matter is that it really SUCK by my standard. And I generally do not go toward commenting on the "Drivers" but heck won't you all agree most (>50%) of Getz drivers drives in a certain way that really put "Wannabes" in the limelight? Psychologically I have more than once stated it is due to the ego ...i shall not go into that - we'll save it for later....
