morris mini mk1

welcome back to myself...lol

somehow, blogger linked itself with my gmail account. so walla, i got back my password...hahaha..

most of my readers here sure know i gila kereta...im gonna dedicate my blog mostly to cars...hahaha....during my hiatus period, i have done lots of stuffs to my cars and i will try snap as many pictures possible so at least i got some material to post in da blog...hehe

apparently, my late grandpa's morris mini mark 1 is still running in the streets. the car was purchased in the early 1960's and sold in the late 1990's...when i was in primary school... i still remember i was quite upset when i found out grandpa had sold that cute little mini that ferries me to and fro kindy every day.

the car was originally grey when i was still a baby. it was involved in an accident few years later and was repainted chilli red.
Image

i think i posted this pic up before.....my last days with the miniImage

and i spotted it in the streets not long ago (the number plate wasnt able to be captured with my camera phone in this pic but it was K 8506 Q, the same original number)
Image

it was surreal, i was so overjoyed, unbelievable that someone took pity of the car and restored it back to its former glory. the last i know of the car was it landed on a fishmonger's hand (he pestered my late grandpa for months to sell the car to him) and probably used it to carry fish to the market everyday. i thought the fishmonger had driven the car into the sea when he could not afford to maintain the car -.- as it went hiatus from the streets for many many years

this particular mini had a long 30+ years of history in my family. whoever is the owner now, if you are reading this, thank you for keeping this car alive and running. when im rich enough one day, i would perhaps, buy back the car for a ride down memory lane =D

a new post

ahh...lately very busy...

no time to update...but theres something i shall update now...lol

a rare event...just like the full circle rainbow...but actually rarer!
Image
many people have seen this so called full circle rainbow

but mine different...guesss what....look at the pic below...lol

Imagedo u see anything amiss? no...theres no rainbow in my car's meter....hahaha

look closely

okay...the red light is the handbrake...gee

its the fuel gauge!!!...notice where does it point to? FULL...yes full....


Image

i lived with this car almost all my life since i was born and no1 dared to give it a full tank treatment for 24 freaking years!!

why?

because of this....


Image
no...the price of fuel didnt drop YET....hopefully it WILL for next month...but will never ever see that price again also....

and even when it WAS that price...we never pumped full inside my little corolla. granddad only used to only pump rm10 or 2o when prices were below RM1.5 per liter. the needle never go beyond the half line too.

why never full tank? because its freaky! everyone in the immediate family knows O.o

so when my unsuspecting granduncle return back my corolla just now...."wah...your fuel tank damn big hor....i pumped RM130 inside baru full" -.-"
Image
so yeah....thank you to my granduncle for that full tank. but hey...ive never pocketed my own money for petrol also....pump so full also no use...haha..save my parents and aunts money nia -.-"

Imagethey forget to add...drive a corolla...if and only if you are a millionare >.<

actually i think this some sort of human mentality. spending more money in one shot is more painful eh? it doesnt hurt as much if u spend slowly

but actually its da same u pump full...u can use longer...u pump less...more visits to the petrol kiosk. but to me...pumping half would do. the more the fuel, the heavier your car, the more power it needs to run it...thus more fuel is consumed too....so...better not to overfill your car.

randomness

currently blogging from miri. woot. using new laptop and hotel wifi...syok kan? lol...

sending my sis over to curtin. woot. stopped over sibu, bintulu and now in miri. overnight at sibu. my childhood memories of sibu was one of the most colourful and 'long' ones. many things happened there that i remembered more than memories i had in kuching. foods at sibu are dirt cheap. tasty and plentiful. RM2.20 for a plate of kampua...no kampua mee in kuching will ever taste like those in sibu man. next thing i had was the ikan bakar and sotong bakar. gosh...the taste...its the best in the world man...dirt cheap too...so guys..next time do visit bandung food court in sibu ya. the ikan bakar there is da bomb! not too spicy..not to sweet, not too salty..and belacan flavours to da max. double woot man

and yea..driving all the way up is quite taxing n tiring. butt aching man...after 6 hours sitting inside da car. when its my turn to drive..gosh..it was tiring too.

sorry no pics to load at the moment...not so used to using laptop yet..lol

anyhow, using the old waja auto, it only consumes rm80 worth of petrol from kuching to reach sibu...another rm80 to miri...around 800+ kms covered since we left kuching...much cheaper than air ticket isnt? can explore more places summore..but driving can be tiring...lol..nid to drive extremely fast and 101% concentration for hours -.-

shud be departing miri on sunday evening and reach kch by monday evening.

sunsets!

Imageguess where that place is....

yea its kuching...im so bored that i did a search on kuching in wikipedia...lol

it was written there under "tourist attractions" that tourists claim that kuching has one of the most beautiful sunets in the world...wha...true boh? lol

from my experience...ahem...i think kuching's sunsets different everyday lor..hhaha...many colours and sometimes really weird colour combinations come out also. below is a pic taken by my own camera just in front of my house...lol...seems like i need a DSLR to take really good sunset photos...its not a rubbish photo k? lol...i tot the sunset that particular day was really different so i cuba cuba with my 'never tested potential' digicam...lol

Image
but kuching is not even located nearby any coastal area. how ironic that it just happen to have beautiful sunsets aye?

kuching is just so nice isnt? hahaha...what a blessing to be in kuching... can watch sunsets till u puke ar...dun play play...lol!

p/s: say 'booo~' to melaka =P (dun kill me arr...malaccans)

i am a petrolhead

sometimes i dont wish to be one...

okay, what does it mean by petrol-head uh? no...its not the petrol station pump head u plug into your cars fuel tank....but petrol head referes to someone whose interest is generally on cars...fast or slow...doesnt matter...jus cars

its no fun being one...trust me. cars are expensive stuff. petrol-headers demand much more than one normal car that brings you from point A to B. normal people doesnt even give a damn what car they drive...so long they can show off driving the biggest car they could ever afford...enough liao. To most normal people, car rosak = lousy = sell off = mouth start to shoot whatever bad things they can talk about their pitiful, sinless innocent ex-car...how sad.

petrol heads see their cars inside out. to them, some old cars = good cars. to normal people, those people who keep old cars are gila. waste money and plain crazy. one word to those people, watch out our mouth, think before you say stuff. take for example, if u are a photography addict, to me, ure also one heck of a crazy asshole who spends RM10k to buy the best DSLR camera with lens of a mini telescope. orang gila...jeee...

i recently felt the pinch being a petrolhead. i dont come from a rich family. i have my own car...some of u call that fortunate...yes...but heck its a 1980 datsun 120y for goodness sake. my parents would NEVER buy me a car. that old car was my grandparents family car -.- not even my parents' car

definately having your own car is a dream....INITIALLY. dad kept mumbling he spent thousands and thousands on that old car jus to repair it for me when i bring up the topic of that old car being freaking too slow after 4 years driving it. sis kept screaming at me for sending the car back and fourth from west malaysia and spending so much(actually NOT much at all, not even HER money or my parents) fixing some 'deemed necessary' accesories.

i dont know if its just me or maybe im too stressed up lately. i kept being 'bullied' on the roads driving this old little car. it just doesnt make my day when you are all stressed up after school and being rudely overtaken and tailgated on the way back home every day dont you? this poor old car cant really match modern cars speed...not even a kancil 660. so, its almost a daily affair this poor old car will be totured by me. felt like a shit after driving in such a car at times too. yea u can say, who cares about others on the road...they want to overtake, let them do so la...but too bad, im a petrolhead remember? i cant forget things like that in a split second. not even my dad. dont think he enjoys driving that slow car either. he jus kept blaming me for spending his money on that bloody car everytime i talk about buying another car. all the cars at my home are fully paid up btw.

so i realise, to satisfy my petrolhead addiction, i will need to use my own money. either save up or work. or at least till i grad and get a job. but heck, another 2 freaking years with this old car, i think i will i will get some severe depression by then.

very very looking forward to use my aunts slightly newer Corolla LE when her new car arrives. fingers crossed if shes gonna give that car to me. at least that car goes faster and easier to drive and commands more respect from other road users -.-

and finally,

and to all farking kuchingnites who thinks your car is so damn big, fast and bloody bullied my datsun, you are all ASSHOLES


......


how i wish i dont give a damn about cars like some people.....sigh
