Here's something I took from one of past 5A class mates blog. This website tells you how much of the world you have visited. From the looks of it I have not gone far enough :P

Yesterday night went to see the Proton Satria Neo. Dunno why they named it Neo. Either the designers were matrix fans or they had installed too much neons in their car. Couldn't use the name Neon since Dodge already used it for their Dodge Neon.
I was quite impressed by the Satria Neo. The interior is better and easy on the eye although there are some obvious areas where Proton did not include something to save cost. Like the Proton name tag on the dash in front of the passenger side to cover the "SRS Airbag" notice. Some circular plastic covers beside the steering whell etc. You got to wonder if the Europeans get something in those areas. Quality wise, it looks better than the past Protons, although I can't comment if you will get a lemon in the end since this is after all a show car. Performance wise I too cannot comment since I have not test drive it.
My brother of course was very impressed by the car. The only problem is that he cannot drive yet and no financial means to buy it! As the saying goes, when you are young and want such a car, you can't afford it and your parents will not buy it for you since it is 2 door. But when you can finally afford & old enough to buy it, you can't since a baby is on its way and you need a four door car!!!
For me a 2 door car is too small. I can barely fit in the back and even the driver's position is too cramped for me. Besides, I prefer to upgrade from a 1.5 auto wira to something larger. I thought of this, I prefer a four door car so that me and my gf will sit in front, and my mother and father in-laws (gf's papa and mama) can sit comfortably in the back, and hopefully be impressed enough to........ you get the picture.

My phone experience something very funny yesterday and the day before. For some unknown reason, I can't make a call out or sms ppl, but I can receive calls and smses. Then by afternoon yesterday my phone is able to make calls like normal.
Must be the fact that on Wednesday I made a call to Singapore while in Segamat, Johor for a meeting. Had to spend the whole day out of the office to attend the meeting there, so had to call Singapore bout my progress on their project.
After that I think Celcom mush have thought my phone has been stolen and used to dial international numbers from another location compared to the Klang Valley. Since everything is back to normal again it could be that the network is unrealiable that the time of the call..... very unlikey since I tried to sms while the LRT was passing by the Telekom building on Thusday!!!

I watched CARS today :) Kinda funny movie where there are talking cars everywhere!! No need for me to into the details of the story as many of you would have read or saw the trailer somewhere. Was expecting the main hero to die in a spectacular crash in the end but this is a Disney movie after all. Kinda dissapointed that there weren't any Mercedes or Skylines or Evos for in the movie at all. Also, where is the Lambo?
I have decided to get a 360. No doubts about it. I'm too lazy to paint my 40k minis, and a 360 should last a few years into the future before the 720 comes out. The 360 can't and will not play any pirated games, but since I am working already 1 original game a month is still affordable- unless I got a gf or need to buy something else. I still need to upgrade my computer when the time comes too, but that would be around next year when Supreme Commander comes out.

Today I met a classic "Help, my (insert relative here) is (insert type of emergency here) and I got no money to buy a (insert transport ticket, be it train aeroplane etc) to (insert your favourite destination here)" plea from someone in the LRT station. Needless to say I surprised to see such a person asking for money several meters below the river bed in the underground station. Thankfully it was a major station along the LRT line and not on the streets where he might turn nasty.
The best part was, he ask me in Mandarin first I think, followed by Hokkien or the like, another dialect, and lastly in English. I told him alot of ppl say such things to con ppl and if he REALLY need help get off at the next station (he followed me into the train) and tell security your problem. He left at the next station...

Today my brother, father and I went to see KLIMS (KL International Motor Show) at PWTC. Lots more cars on display this time, and also lots more booth babes for happy shooters to point at.
Should see the amount of ppl taking pictures at the boothbabes. In some of the stalls the main draw is not the product, but the booth babes. Not surprise though, since in E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) in the US, there are some ppl who come to E3 only for the boothbabes.
My bro did took a lot of photos, maybe I'll put one here soon. One of the best was the ASIMO robot. One more step closer to 30 foot tall Mechs!!! However it still required a few grid lines on the stage for it to walk and navigate.
