MY PASSION - Babycar


That would be my car!!!!!




The reason why I love my car is because of the memories that i have had with her.



(babycar waiting for a paint job)

Heck there have been times that I have been without a car for a year because of modifications that I was doing to my car. Some people have asked me why I bother to go through all that trouble. I simply reply it’s because it’s my passion. My car is like my baby, the time and the effort I have put into modifying my car is unimaginable, the money that I have spent on it is astronomical for a person of my age. However when the car comes out exactly the way I want it; it feels as though I am in heaven. The long wait the hard work finally pays off and that’s what really matters to me as an individual

How I got myself into my car is beyond me. However if I had to explain it, it would be simple.

It’s because I have a few stories of my car….as cliché as it is, I call her Babycar

Being dumb
Just having gotten my license I was one hell of an idiotic driver. Always speeding and gambling my life away without a cause. This time around I was driving trough a tunnel accelerating all the way. When I exited the tunnel my speedometer states that I am doing 220kmh. Then a few seconds after looking at my meter I looked at the road and I realize I was at a corner. I lost control and smashed into the side of the road.I thought i was going to die. However I opened my door and there wasn’t even a scratch on me.Thank god.

Falling for the wrong girl
It was my first time chasing a girl who was two years my senior. The words “you are like an angel to me” actually came out of my mouth. Thinking about that scene in the past I do feel like giving myself a slap for being such an idiot. Regardless it was there and then I actually hated my car for a bit because it was the first time I got laughed at. When In my head at that time I thought I was being a romantic.

Broken Hearted
Lost in life broken hearted and not giving a care about the world I found myself sitting on the roof of my car. I was with babycar at the airport crying my heart out while watching the planes take off. I have never felt ever so peaceful before at that point in time. Sometimes just sitting there and staring into nothing and watching time pass by is the best thing you could ever do.

The one?
It was my 4th date with a girl and we were just talking about life. Then the topic got kind of heavy when she told me the last few dates I had with her was her best days of her life. I told her felt the same way, it was there and then I actually held her hand and we both looked at each other and we kissed. I still remember it as though it was yesterday….my first kiss with a girl and it was in Babycar.

Sexay~~~
The windows were fogging up, it was getting hot and steamy and sweat was dripping down my forehead and hers. My clothes were still on and so were hers. Finally I just couldn’t take it anymore I winded down the windows because the air conditioning in babycar broke down on my 5th date with that special girl when we were on the way to dinner.

HAHAHAHAHA what were you readers getting excited about : )


My babycar My Passion

I have come to realize that I love my car not just because it’s a car but it also has a ton of memories stored within its soul. Only to me babycar would mean so much, regardless to other people its just a 400 horse powered racing car hehehe.

BABYCAR REVVING
Till then dear readers HAVE A LIL BIT OF FIZZZZZZZZ

Friends


It’s always nice to know that you have friends. These people would always be there to cheer you up when you are down and at times even motivate you.

Lets face it everyone would have friends even the most hardened criminals would have them. Friends to me always start of as just normal people; it could be anyone really from the rich to the poor from fat to thin…..really anyone.

Normally they would start off probably as your work mate or even school mate. From there a bond would either be created or not. Not everyone would always succeed in becoming another person’s friend. Reason being is because sometimes two individuals might not just like each other as much. However if a bond is a created; these two individuals would most likely end up being friends. How a bond is created varies on each individual. Personally I have even had an enemy become a friend in the later years.



What is a friend?

In my own opinion there are many kinds of friends there are the ones that stick and the ones that are just there for the moment. Most of the time the friends which were there for the moment would have a valid reason for not being there anymore. Sometimes it could be because of different interests, work, marriage, studies and much more. Then there are the ones that stick, these are the friends that have been most likely with you since your childhood. These are friends which have been through everything with you the good and the bad. However take note sometimes its not how long these friends have been with you. It’s kind of complicated to explain but time doesn’t always play an important role when it comes to friendship.


I have had a friend which I knew since childhood. From then till now I probably could say that I have been his friend for nearly 15 years. However I have never went through anything with him. I never knew much about him nor did he know much about me, the only reason we were still friends was because we were in the same school and we played games with one another; other then that we never bothered about talking about anything else. Well its no surprise that his not my friend anymore since he stole from me.

Sometimes the oldest friend isnt't your best friend



I probably knew him for about only six months. Regardless I daresay he is possibly my best friend. Why I would say this is that I have gotten into trouble before and he bailed me out. There were also times when he even bothered to go through so much trouble to tutor me for my exams. Most importantly both of us talk to each other and try our best to help each other out.

Sometimes the newest friend could be your best friend.



In the end everyone probably has their own special story in life about their friendship with another person. No story would be exactly the same with another individual. However one thing still remains the same; that is everyone needs a friend.

Streets of Malaysia 2 - Sights and Sounds

Let’s start from what we can find in the main city of Malaysia which is Kuala Lumpur. From there we shall slowly venture out.



Kuala Lumpur was actually a mining city to begin with in the past. Therefore Kuala Lumpur has grown without any central planning whatsoever, so the streets in the older parts of the city are extremely narrow, winding and congested. In some parts of the city as well we see a hybrid of European and Chinese architecture of the past.




FLOOD IN KL (PLEASE CLICK LINK TO WATCH VIDEO)


Having mentioned that Kuala Lumpur never had central planning there are its major downsides. Flooding is one of the major problems in Kuala Lumpur; nevertheless there are projects that have been developed to aid this city with the flooding.





What makes Kuala Lumpur and the rest of Malaysia interesting is how the past and the present blend together. In Kuala Lumpur we can easily find old structures of the past amongst the newly developed buildings.



( Take note it was a monday when i took this picture or else this place would be full of clubbers)

Entertainment within the city is also unique. In most western countries night clubs would be post and new. However in Malaysia there is a particular clubbing district in the city. Locally known as heritage row we could find night clubs taking residence in old buildings. The outside looks very colonial however when we enter those clubs we see all the futuristic lights and music one could find in the present clubs of today.





Moving to another state in Malaysia called Penang we could also see the similarities of how the past blends with present. Such similarities are found in a street called gurney drive. We also find clubs taking up residences with buildings of the past within the city of Penang called Georgetown.


Another interesting area in Penang would be Batu Feringghi. This is where we find most of the hotels and resorts being developed in Penang. In the previous entry I did mention about Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur and batu Feringghi does have some similarities. It is because at batu feringghi one could find fake goods as well. However this particular street mainly caters for tourist and because of that one could find all sorts off local delicacies and seafood since batu feringghi is located at the coastline.

In the end one may have many opinions about what can be found in Malaysia. However as a local I feel that I am lucky that there are so many things that can be found in one country. Even though in some states some streets have its similarities each of them are unique in its own special way.

Till then have a lil bit of fiz

Streets of Malaysia - Diversity in the City



Diversity in the city of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

Driving through the city of Malaysia which is Kuala Lumpur one realizes there is so much this city can offer. From shopping to sightseeing, foods from the east and west, entertainment from the normal to the bizarre one can nearly find anything in Kuala Lumpur. Last but not least people just going around the city surviving the rat race.




"Nasi Lemak" one of the famous Malay cuisines





Past wooden architecture still dwelling within the city




Without even entering a single building one can simply be amused at the diversity which can be found on the streets of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. We start of from a famous street called Kampung Baru. This street in particular is famous for its local foods. Most of the local Malay cuisine could be found here. However one should take note there is nothing fancy about this place, they are mainly filled with al fresco style dining but in a hawker style environment. What makes Kampung Baru special is that the majority of the residents whom reside here are the Malays. One would also realize that the past still exists in this area. This is found in its old wooden style architecture in most of the building in this street.

Next we have Chinatown locally known as Petaling Street. Not to state the obvious the major residence here is of course Chinese. What makes this street unique is the fact that it actually feels like you are in a street in China when one is here. Instead of being famous this street is notorious for its fake goods. We could easily find expensive branded goods at a fraction of the price. (Mind you it’s not original of course). Personally I never spent much time in Petaling Street, reason being because it’s so hectic in there. We could always hear a seller shouting and buyers always haggling. However if one is street smart one could always walk away with a bargain. We could also find good food here but it’s more towards snacks and Chinese style fast food. Unlike Kampung Baru an ethnic cuisine is not really found here.

Last but not least we have Brickfields officially known as Little India since 2009. The fact that it could get that official title is because the majority which reside there are of course Indians. On this street we could find a vast variety of Indian cuisines. No beef here of course since the cow is a sacred animal for the Hindus. Nevertheless we can find all sorts of Indian foods from the normal to the bizarre and there are also a few vegetarian restaurants within this street. Brickfields is also famous for its cheap liquor, one could get premium liquor for a much cheaper price compared to the supermarkets. The location of this particular street also fascinates me as well as it is right beside KL Central which is the hub for trains which travel throughout Malaysia and the city.

Hence it is always nice to know we the locals are spoiled for variety just within our city…till then have a lil bit of fiz
