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 [...]
Went on a Langkawi trip with my entire family. It marked a few firsts achievements with that feat. My first time trip to bring the entire trip on a airplane. Hui Yan and Yan Yan’s first airplane ride, although I highly doubt that Hui Yan will have any recollection of it. My parent’s first AirAsia [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
I converted to NGV!

With the rising fuel prices and the never-ending commitments that I need to shoulder, it is only natural that I seek to increase my income and lower my expenditures. Having scrutinized my monthly budget, I have come to realize that the biggest money outflow goes to petrol. And between the two cars (Wira 1.5 GL [...]
Question: How do you paint your car without getting exorbitantly charged from the mechanic? Do it yourself lar! I noticed my neighbour doing exactly that on his car. Check out the paint job! Not only that the paint is uneven, there were cracks everywhere!
Toyota Service Centre, Balakong

This is my first experience here as a Toyota owner, servicing my Altis. I was prepared for a huge bill. For one thing, I do not have a complete service record for this car, so all other details of the record remain vague. I have called 2 weeks earlier to book an appointment and the [...]
….. perhaps even the world! I spotted this car in Tesco Puchong, back in July 2005. At that time, I still had my trusty old Canon A70 with me that goes wherever I go. Resist the power of the dark side I must! The force is strong! This picture was originally posted in LensaMalaysia.
