Now I Can Blast In My Car ... My New Car Stereo!

With my new stereo I just installed on Monday, I can now blast away in my car. Cool sound ... Pioneer model DEH-3o50UB. I really enjoyed the much clearer and sharper sound. Its price is quite worth it which costs me about RM400 only. It has a MP3/Wma CD player plus a USB jack where i can play songs from my thumb drive. Its quite powerful as its output MOSFET is 50W x 4 and also able to amplify sub woofers for serious street blasters just like Kiat Sui's brother's. Additionally, it has a remote control for the back seat passengers to control the CD player. I'm so satisfied with my purchase. :)

I bought it from the audio and accessories shop which is located in Taman Sentosa, about 15 minutes drive from Kota Kemuning along the Sri Muda 'Kampung Road'. It ain't that far but because of the traffic jam due to many traffic lights ... arghhhhhh!!! This particular shop was recommended by Kiat Sui's elder brother who knows the shopowner. One day, he brought me to the shop for a little window shopping. When we hopped in to the shop, there were many choices of CD players and speakers from many ranges and brands. From car audio to car accessories. After weeks of survey as advised by Dad, i finally purchased the CD player this shop recommended. It took me a month to save up all my pocket money, partly by chrinching my stomach too, YES!!! i finally purchased my very own car stereo! :D

Before purchasing the CD player, I did my homework searching the Internet forums for the best price. In the end, it seemed that my friend's shop is still the cheapest. (O.o). Wow!! They're exceptionally cheaper than any other shops I've passed by when I return home from college. In a nutshell, I now know where I can find audio accessories that are not too over-rated. xD Oh!! I almost forgot, I managed to trade in the old cassette player for a pair of Sony Explode tweeters to sharpen the sound. The tweeters cost bout RM 100 plus and they're willing to accept that piece of **** for the tweeters. I think they're really good when it comes to serving friends.

LOL! =))

I Finally Have My Own Bank Account!

Last Monday morning, the same day before i bought the car audio, I brought out my I/C and I drove to the nearest Maybank to open up a bank account. Once i reached the bank, I noticed that i forgot to bring the form that I filled up which i got when i enquire about the bank account a couple of weeks back. So, I ended up have to get a new form and fill up again and face the small little boxes again. =_= After filling up the frustrating form which I often almost filled up with wrong particulars, I then took form to the counter to be verified. ~X(

In order to open a bank account, I must have at least RM250 cash and I must show them my I/C to confirm that I'm 18 years old and above. After making a new ATM card, I'm needed to deposit the RM250 cash into my new bank account.

Depositing the bank was the most humiliating thing #-o, I do not know how to place the cash notes into the cash deposit machine. I keep trying my best to know how to stuff the notes into the machine and finally a beautiful office uniformed young girl thought me how to use the machine. I was pleased by her kindness and also...HER BEAUTY!! but she was too old for me lah!!! I hope my girl-friend wont read this. Hehe...

After depositing the cash into my account, I am able to withdraw it out and then I headed to nearest food court for a hearty breakfast. Tough task to open a bank account la!!! T'was so much more easier when Dad did it for me. :

Had I Speak Too Soon???

Shit! It drizzled and it rained this morning as we drove down to Dataran Merdeka for the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur International Marathon. I prayed hard that the rain will not be any heavier or better still, no rain in the city.

If it rained cats and dogs and anyone were to have read my post yesterday ... hahaha!!! I think I better start my full marathon sprint back home ... else everyone will be going for my neck.

We reached Dataran Merdeka and it rained. Quite heavy that we had to seek shelter but luckily it did not last very long. The full marathon was flagged off as scheduled and so was the half-marathon and then the 10km run. The weather after that was perfect! No sun till late morning ... so it was not hot at all, perfect for running.

Whew!!! #:-S

Standard Chartered KL International Marathon

Hey! Guess what?! I'll be one of those cameramen at the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur International Marathon tomorrow.

My Mom has coolly assigned part of that task to me. The fact that I won't be running at the event tomorrow, she has also coolly exempt me from Sunday school just to take photos. Any other time that I wanted to skip Sunday school, I'll definitely hear a blast to my ear ... oh my ear ...

Parents ... they decide what you can and cannot do, it's all justified on their terms ... when do I get to decide what I want to or don't want to do? Hmmmmmm ... wise question huh?

How come I'm not running tomorrow? Dad was not sure just in case I ended up in NS (National Service). By the time it was confirmed that I had not been selected for NS, it was too late. Registration closed. See what I mean ... parents' decision ... if it was up to me, I'd sign-up first ... worst scenario if I can't make it to the half-marathon, only $36 burnt!

No point cryng over spilled milk ... tomorrow I'll be a good boy and take as many photos as I possibly can. Maybe I'll take some pretty girls' pics too ... won't be so boring then. Got to wait at least 3 hours under the morning sun to spot Dad, Uncle Steven and Uncle Riq at the 30km mark. Oh God! Tomorrow please make it a cloudy day but NO RAIN PLEASE!!! Else this post must never ever be accessible to Dad and his running mates! :-S

My Mind Is As Blank As Plain Paper!

Come on! Is my Mom going to nag me everyday about blogging too! She's been nagging all my life. Now blogging too?

Shit! My mind just shot back to plain white paper, what to write next ... got to come back to you later ... Zzzzzz ... (:|

I was bored like hell ...

I really appreciate whatever my parents do for me ... really I do.
Don't get me wrong. I may seem like that rebellious monster but deep down I do listen to them. I know it's bad but it's just my typical "KIASU" attitude. Never admit I'm wrong. I'll only follow subtlely later when I'm cool about it.

I know Mom meant well asking me to join them for the night out at Hello Bali ... just at the nearby Sunway Pyramid. I've got nothing to do at home anyway. Kiat Sui's getting ready for NS (he volunteered for the National Service stint). My other friends are back to college at their respective campuses outstation. That leaves me kinda solo for the weekend.

It all started quite well actually when we left the house at 10.45 pm. While on the way, Mom had suggested that I open my own savings account at Maybank on Monday. I'm supposed to used my own money at hand to open the account and I was more than agreeable to do it! Not that I mind I still do not have access to my savings held in-trust by Dad. Frankly, I wander how much I have in there. Ahhhhhh ... my own ATM card (automated teller card) ... FINALLY!

I do not know how the conversation drifted to the protein powder I'd ordered for my weight training but it just got so heated up that by the time we reach Sunway Pyramid, they were not talking to me already. I know they're not agreeable that I spent $300 over that protein powder but I've already ordered from my friend. I don't feel nice to have to cancel the order. They do have their points, it's just way too expensive for a beginner like me. Moreover, I was saving up for a car audio system in the first place (Mom, thanks for the reminder).

Well, we all met at the entrance to the club. I had lost all my mood and I can see my Mom wasn't too happy with me either. Dad had decided to be oblivious to all that's me. Never mind that, I told myself I'll just sit quietly in my corner and survey all the girls around. Not many 'leng loi' that night. There were more Indians and Africans girls than Chinese. Not so tasty to me ...

When we first arrived, there was no crowd at all. Plenty of empty tables tho' many were reserved. The party only got going past midnight. The crowd came and went, no letting up. My Mom and Dad were even squeezed out of their places at one point. By the time we left, the crowd was still hanging in there.

Mom was enjoying herself dancing the night away. Dad too enjoying his Black Label. Me? I was BORED LIKE HELL! What was I doing there?!!!

Oops! I forgot ...

Ok, ok ... I know it totally slipped my mind to inform you, Mom.

You're right again as usual ... I'm irresponsible ... so thoughtless ... fine, I accept. I just don't know why it never crossed my mind to inform you and Dad that I've gotten myself another mobile line. Unfortunately, my current handphone is not a dual sim card one. So I had to remove either one when I'm using the other. As I've explained, one is for chatting and the other for SMS. It may seem ridiculous to you but I'm just trying to be as efficient as I can with my expenses. It's not that you guys are giving me full support for my mobile usage.

Sorry Mom, Dad. I know your silence over all it does not mean it's a waiver to any of the pre-requisites towards adulthood!

I can't be reached ...

What the heck! My Mom's SMS from yesterday night only arrived this morning!!
No wonder she ticked me off several times for not answering her messages!!!

She's also been complaining endlessly for the past one week on the difficulty to get in touch with me. It's always the same voice recording, "The number you have dialled cannot be reach at the moment. Please try again later."

Don't blame me, it's not my fault! I don't understand why either. I don't have any problem receiving calls from friends ...

Need to check it out now with Digi. Better try to get this problem solved soonest, if I can. Or else, I'll never hear the end of it from Mom!

My Second Post ...

Looks like I took a very very long nap ...
It's been 6 days since my first post.

Writing is not exactly in my list of talents, much less as a habit. My Mom has been encouraging me to write and write and write, eversince I was in Primary 6. I did make an effort to jot all my activities in my Ms-Outlook journal once. Somehow, that died down ... it was such a chore!

I don't know how Mom does it. She always has something to write about. Long-winded too. Where do I begin? Share about my college life which is still in infancy or share my weight training progress or about girls, if only I have a steady girlfriend to brag about ... totally no experience down that road ... so forget it!

Guess I need to nap some more ....
Not easy man ... trying to find the right thoughts to put into words ...
See if I can continue tomorrow or perhaps after a game or two of Maple.
Hopefully not after 6 days again
