Wah lau eh!?!

Long time never convoy already forgot what it is like to play "Follow the Leader". I also forgot how it is like without walkie, drive around in circles, drive into seo kan lor and kena flash by tu lan taxi uncle. Got fellow hip-hop kaki still can slow down and take video some more... Haha!

Start of the MU, many Lancers but by midnight... One by one all tng choo liao...

We started out at Yishun Dam, then went down to Changi Village but ended up at Kallang Stadium area. Got some brother info us got TP along SLE/CTE but we never see any on our way down. Heng ah!?! Or else see one whole group of CS2/CS3 and one lone ranger Hyundai Accent like playing "Snake and Ladders" sure kena road block chao teng kee one... Haha!

By the time we decided to sit down for kopi, the only place open at that time was Kallang McDonalds so we one-jig-gang sit in a circle like going for "Live!" Forum like that... Got people post question, got people post answer and sure got some kukunaden private message :P

By 0300 hrs, ended up all hungry so went down to Geylang to eat. Photographs courtesy of our group photographer/videographer, Mister Adrian Lim (not the serial killer).

Hey! Woon Tou Sek is open for business!

How to Take Photographs

Wah lau eh!?!

Cameras last time very expensive... you buy one good camera, two months must jia chow. If you buy chup parang camera, then your photos also chup parang standard - see already can vomit.

Even when cameras (good or not so good) become cheaper, developing photographs are still expensive and take a few days for it to be ready. Also, you must make sure you use up all the film then bueh loo gee. Last time my best skill is I can squeeze 40 shots into a 36-shot film - steady boh? But as I was saying... Example: today I take photo of chio bu, I must wait until all the 36 shots finish then take go develop. Sometimes, by that time, the chio bu already become people's lau bu already.

What is worse is if we (guys) go around bring camera, people will say we are chiko peh. For me really bo pian because I go to site, need to take photo of accident vehicles and surrounding conditions and my tow kay very the hao lian one... people use normal camera, he make us use SLR. He say like that look more professional... Anyway, our charges to customers also very "professional" lah... Haha!

But now hor... times have changed... Cameras - all very cheap and no need to develop one... all digital one... You like the photo, you save... See the photo bueh song, just press the "DEL" button.

Nowadays even more happening ah!?! Handphones all come with camera liao! Oops! I forgot... they are called "Camera Phones" but what latest technology never develop for many people is common sense.

Just look at these photographs and then you will know what I mean.

Itchy bo pian must scratch or else will get worse

Uncle John and Aunt Mary have been married for many years...
Wah lau eh!?! Who are those two chow ah kwah?

Here's Peter and Jane at their wedding...
don't forget the naked bah chai in the background

Oops! Dog stomachache... Must pang sai immediately

Oops! Dog horny... Must @#$% the neighbor's bitch immediately

Some photographers very steady poon pee pee... timing si beh choon, no need technology to develop them but they can still capture the "Kodak" magic moment... Hosay!

"You reject me nevermind... I tau lim your dau hway chwee!"

Wah lau eh!?! Ah Boi ah... lu cho si mi?

Wah lau eh!?! Si beh tua liap ah... Scooby Dooby Dooo!

Test Drive: Toyota Celica 1.8 ZZT230

Wah lau eh!?!

Finally got chance try out 7th Generation Toyota Celica on JB roads... Steady lah! The 7th Generation Toyota Celica (ZZT230) is powered by an economical 1.8 litre, 4-cylinder, 140 hp engine but since it was introduced in 2000, it's not "new model" so of course the ZZT230 that I was driving got mod one lah. My friend never tell me what are the mods... He just say sure can pass LTA inspection. Haha!

Toyota Celica ZZT230 with bodykit really look fierce wor...

Anyway, this hong chia really very ho huah... Maybe because it is manual version - so lagi power!

Woodlands Checkpoint bo chia leh... Hosay... Must buy Toto!

I started my journey in the morning... Check One Motoring Web Site - Wah! First time I see Woodlands Checkpoint don't have jam one - I thought must buy Toto liao (Not Brother Rando's dog, Toto but the real Toto... Haha!) Sekali after the Woodlands checkpoint, past the old Johore checkpoint, turn left, turn right then up the mountain (not yet down the hill) then I saw this!?!

So many hong chia... So little time... Wah piang oei!?!

See already I also stun sia! I thought should be wait long long one but heng-heng ah... It didn't take long to get Passport stamp and move on. Hosay!

As I want to try the power and handling, I used to Danga Bay coastal road - Wah... The feeling macham playing "Outrun" like that because the road was quite clear and the sun was not so bright. Just tekan the accelerator a bit already kena 150km/h - song ah! The ZZT230 handling also quite smooth, maybe also because my friend got lower the suspension and did something to the undercarriage.

Road is clear - bo chia -what are you waiting for?

Many times I was tempted to loot even more but was afraid kena Traffic Police out looking for Ang Pow so tahan a bit. Sekali beh peoh boh ah nee choon... Choy! Choy! Choy! Anyway, there was a Traffic Police further down the road but that was because there was really an accident involving a motorcycle and a car.

I drove the ZZT230 around the outskirts of JB town and then after visiting some relatives and friends, decided to go back earlier to avoid jam at the Causeway. Then I thought I kay kiang a bit... Usually Woodlands sure jam one so I decided - 2nd Link - sure no jam one!

I take highway towards Tuas, loot all the way past Gelang Patah to the last Rest Stop and then top-up at Petronas. Driving other people's car so I never try anything past 180 km/h but one thing for sure is that even though the handling is good, I feel it's not as zai as the RX-8 when travelling at high speeds. Another thing about the Celica is that you cannot heard rough engine sounds - it remains very smooth even though you are running about 180km/h... Maybe it's because of the VVTi engine?

I reached the Rest Stop in a flash! Wah! Usually the KFC bo lang, pah bang but today muah-muah one... So many people! The food centre next door was quite deserted in comparison so I decided to eat there. (Maybe most Singaporean scared eat "roadside food" will kena lau sai or maybe they think cheapo food is bad for health. Anyway, I just sup whatever I can find because hungry already lah...) Food in Malaysia - so cheap but also so good. I wish my Kampong Kawan also come along then we can sit around sing pantun and whack the satay campur-campur with babat!

What is tea break without teh terik? After my makan, I order my teh, sit back, relax, drink and watch all my fellow Singaporeans arrive, look at my black "Silly Car" like it's on "car show" then walk to KFC, quickly makan then go next door pump petrol. Why so hurry?

Pump petrol another Singapore story... Esso muah-muah one... Shell also muah-muah one but Petronas not so muah... Why? Malaysian petrol tak boleh ah? Haha! I heck care the rest, pump Petronas full tank, then chiong towards the "Touch N Go" toll and then chuah all the way back to Tuas checkpoint.

Sekali even before I reach the middle of the bridge, I see this!?! Argh!?! Simi tai jee? I see cars from left lane go centre lane, from centre lane go right lane - back and forth... Wah lau eh!?! Got Lang gah ah?

Here jam, there jam... Really is Gong Xi Fa Cai!

All along the trip I was comparing the Celica with the RX-8. I found another thing the Celica was better than the RX-8... The clutch not so heavy unlike the RX-8. So if I caught in this kind of jam driving the RX-8, I think I will MC one week or need to switch to "auto" car for one week . The Celica's clutch was much lighter and quite like driving a normal car. Hosay!

Sitting inside the ZZT230, listening to standard-issue JB songs, I look to my left and I saw this chilli red-hot Ferrai... Haha!

Steady lah! Ferrari also kena jam... Haha!

I thought I drive "semi" sports car kena jam sueh ka cow peh... Then I see the "Big Brother" of all sports car also in the same jam as me, I also a bit sim liang-liang. Anyway, I was caught in the jam for two hours - heng I took super heavy tea break and stock up some drinks in the car. By the time I got to Seng Kang, time for dinner liao!

Anyway... Happy New Year to all AoTLM readers... Huat ah!

Handphone Spoil... AGAIN!

Wah lau eh!?!

Sibeh jia lat ah!!! This is the fourth time my Sony Ericsson G900 rosak. I went to the Service Centre in the morning and the guy there as me book-in my phone again. I tell him I don't want lor and want to see the Manager or any other "Cha Fit Yan". So I wait half-a-day and by the time I see the Manager, he just ask me to book-in my phone again.

Wah lau eh!?! Four times liao leh... Same problem some more...

After I apa lo-soh with him for a while he tell me is circuit board and LCD problem, ask me book-in the phone and then he will replace them for me.

I tell him I book in FOUR TIMES! EMPAT! SEI QI! SI PAI! 四次! but he just shrugged his shoulders and tell me bo pian... Wah lau eh!?! Chin GY leh...

Now I need to rush back to work cos we got site visit in JB... Sibeh tulan now...

Anyway 2008 already over and this year sure power one cos Year of the Bull - must be good or else why got Red Bull brand teo boh?

Wah lau eh!?! Nowadays want to find 100% real Nonya food really hard. After the Jeanette Aw Nonya show, everybody also say they are Nonya and Baba but they cook the food all sama-sama Chee Na ah peh food, not the real thing - all Imitation Baba - pian lang one...

But my office Little Nonya is confirm real one lor cos now my mouth full of Ayam Buah Keluah taste, my nose only smell the mind Ayam Buah Keluah smell and my mind only think of Ayam Buah Keluah... Her Ayam Buah Keluah is really original one lor... Can taste the lengkuas and kunyit... Steady lah!

But now I am thinking, "Cham liao lah..." because I eat until so full, later how to go dispatch?
