Since my wife’s Wira has been changed to using NGV, the engine runs a bit hotter. There are a lot of discussion about making the engine run cooler, ranging from upgrading to a bigger radiator, using TAP device and installing gear cooler. But nothing beats the basic of giving proper attention to your engine coolant. […]

Serdang Jam, why does it happen?
Posted: 8th November 2009 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Current AffairsTags: jam, Serdang, Seri Kembangan
There are a few reason the notorious jam happens. One does not need to be a highway engineer to figure that out. The poor people in Serdang gets no fucking exit in the MEX, while Damansara / PJ gets 7 highways (Federal, LDP, Kesas, Sprint, NKVE, Penchala, NPE)! What, people in Serdang not worthy of […]

1. Automatic car are useful in city drivings because of the stop-and-go situations involved. But they are getting more and more useful in highways. 😉 2. Why do we use the highways? What is the basic thing that you expect in return of paying a hefty sum at the bloodsucking toll booths? The convenience, the […]

BWUUUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I can only afford an uncontrollable insane laugh! Come on Malaysia! Not another one of your tasteless jokes! Can this be one of your publicity stunt again? I mean, seriously, what do you expect to put in your machine? A 1.6 litre turbo CAMPRO engine? Well, here’s news for you! CAMPRO engines are lousy, […]
Those not familiar with the word drift might relate this to the act of floating along with the current of water flow. The drift that I claim is crazy is not some nuts who is floating on water, rather it is applicable for a weird lateral movement of a car. Allow me to explain. A […]
Inconsiderate Malaysian drivers!
Posted: 19th May 2009 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Silly meTags: driver, Malaysian
How many of you have ever encountered the hospitality of a Malaysian driver on the road? And I mean that in a sarcastic way. (I can almost see your hands raised up from way up here) I want to share with you what I have encountered, both as a victim, and as a bully myself! […]
I want to sell my DSLR camera
Posted: 5th May 2009 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Photography, Silly meTags: 350D, Canon, EOS, sell
Yes it’s true, I am planning to sell off my trusty old 350D. It’s been with me through thick and thin, through a lot of adventure to a lot of trips. I blame it on “technological refresh” that forces me to upgrade my camera to catch up with my skill. I hate to admit it, […]
In my entire life of living (more than 30 full years of them) I have owned two cars, one a basic Proton Iswara 1.3 (manual) model, and a Proton Wira 1.5GL (auto). Both cars served me well. They does the job well. 4 wheels, roof over my head (although the Iswara has already developed holes […]
I thought I’d tell you what it feels like to be an NGV user, apart from the obvious decrease in monthly expenditure on vehicle fuel. Especially my experience in the many refueling stations that I have patroned over the duration of my NGV usage. As I mentioned previously, I work in Cyberjaya. Therefore I frequent […]
Car Review – Proton Iswara 1997
Posted: 17th August 2008 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Silly meTags: ADP 7466, eulogy, Iswara
I have promised that I will write an eulogy in remembrance of my old faithful, my green Iswara ADP 7466. Affectionately known as “The Green Monster”, this car really brought back many years of memories. This is going to be a long write-up, one that took me months since I bought the replacement car, the […]
