God Bless My Mom

*Ring~~*Ring~~*Ring~~

"Yes?"
"Where are you?"
"Having Dinner."
"At where?"
"PJ lor"
"Can come back take me to see doctor?"
"Why?!? What's Wrong?!?!?"
"I feel dizzy....see things very blur....hand shivering..."
"Huh?!?!?! What happened?!?!? OK..OK....I come home now"


Got a call from mom yesterday when I was having dinner. She told me in the phone that she is not feeling as per the conversation above. Dad is outstation in JB, younger brother is now working in Singapore.....Left only mom and maid at home. I've no choice but ask her to hold on and wait for me while I rushing home with my little Myvi. Mom called again during my way home. I knew things might be quite serious. Too bad...that was the fastest I can go with my Myvi.....I miss my Civic at that moment..... =(

After reaching home, I asked mom how she feel, she said she still feeling bad. She told me she felt dizzy yesterday morning and went to see a doc. Doc said her blood pressure is very high...reached 160....0_0 ......She has minor high blood pressure problem all the while, and was having 5mg of Norvasc (Thanks Bernard for letting me know the correct spelling.) all the time. But don't know why, the pressure suddenly gone up this high....

After hearing all this, I decided to send her to hospital instead of normal clinic. At the hospital, doc said her blood pressure is still high and asked us whether want to be admitted or take medicine home? I decided to let her stay one night in the hospital.

After done with all the procedures, I drove home to pick up my maid to hospital and let her accompany mom overnight.

Called mom this morning. Her blood pressure dropped to 130 this morning....phew~~~Now need to wait for doc and see what he is going to advise. Whether to stay one more night or go home.


God Bless My Mom

8GCC Vroommm Vrooommmmm - Ulu Yam to Gohtong Jaya

15th July 2007 - A group of 8th Generation Civic 'crazies' (around 20 rides) went for a vrooommmmm vrooommmmm to Gohtong jaya by using the Sungai Tua/Ulu Yam route instead of the normal Genting uphill. They wanted to test their heavy mod ride to see whether all the $$$ they put in worth it or not....hehehehe.....

Why this road??? Challenging, Less car, more save-to-take corner and not as slope as Genting uphill.


At 1st, I decided not to join the fun as I do not have a car and I my new Civic Type-R is still in Japan (hahahaha...). However, brother Gary offered to give me a ride on his yellow monster, hence....I AM IN......hehehehehe.......


Gary's car had a small slip in one of the sharpest corner, but he was able get the car back to the track with his 40 years driving skill. I felt the DRIFT man!!!!! Gary, you are a great driver!!!!


If you ask me how was the drive/ride? I can't write much on this as I am not a driver, I can only tell you that I couldn't stand properly after the ride. Not just because of the car I was sitting in but also by seeing how my fellow brothers 'whack' the corners like crazy......


Enjoy some of the pictures..........

Another Hijack Case Happened To One Of My Club Member

But she is lucky - really lucky??

Yes...I think she is lucky, if not she might be in more serious situation than this.....read below and you will know why:-

"It was an "attempted" hijack but since her car was BADLY crashed, the hijackers sped away and left me there right in the middle of LDP after a horrifying "car spinning" episode ."

She was driving alone on LDP that night around 11:30pm on the fast lane @ 85-90 km/h. Just when she reached the bridge in front of 1 Utama heading The Curve, a car revved from the back on the middle lane and pushed her car on the left back-corner. As per what she said, she knew something was not right because it was not a normal car-to-car metal collision. After police inspection, that car was trying to hit her car with the trye and hoping for minimal damage on both car. But that F**ker couldn't control his car and stuck the tyre underneath her car then keep pushing her car towards the middle concrete divider. She steer to left by instinct to avoid the being pushed to the middle divider.

She did escape from the contact but the speed has caused her car to swivel too much towards the left almost horizontally. Again, in an attempt to pull the car back from going down the drain after the 3rd lane, she had to swivel right again then the car went into a 180 degrees spin towards the right, and finally hitting the concert divider on the left front corner and put the car to a stop. She was not able to see what car hit her as the car sped away immediately.

Injury and Damages
Both front air-bags were deployed on impact. The entire left body side of the car had tyre and rim mark, a very slightly broken left back lights, while the front was badly crashed ( can see the entire engine compartment from the gaping hole on the left ). Windscreen cracked.

she suffered very minor injuries: small bruise on the right ankle, a skin-burn from the seat belt on her chest and a hairline break on her upper lip ( possibly from the impact from the airbag ).

At the Police Station
After putting down the statement and the police heard her car was the new civic, he said hers was the 3rd case for the day. There was already a crashed blue 2.0 civic parked at the inspection area. He then showed her another police report made the day earlier where a restaurant owner's new civic (silver) was hijack when he was getting into his car after leaving a cybercafe. The hijackers had parang and they managed to get the car and have hurt the guy on the arm while his girlfriend suffered the cut on the neck. Fortunately while trying to leave the scene, the hijacker crashed the car into a lorry parked along the road. Seeing the car damaged, the hijacker actually got out of the car and ran off.

Don't you think she is lucky??? If that was a successful hijack case, I am afraid those son-of-a-bitch might not only take the car.....might take this pretty lady along as well!!!

Yes, this might be a hit-and-run case by a drunk driver......but still, we really need to be extreme caution on the highway at night.

Longer Hours Don't Mean Higher Output

Something I read today in The Sun - MONDAY 9TH SEPT 2007. Which I think is so good d*mn true and precise.

So folks, please leave this issue of The Sun on your bosses' table who honor the staff who work late just to show he/she can "sacrifice" for the company and leave a copy on your colleague's workstation who like to "sacrifice" for the company.....buekkkkkk.....


Quoted from The Sun - MONDAY 9th SEPT 2007, Pg. 18, by VRK from Kuala Lumpur : -

"I do not believe working long hours can be related to increasing productivity or whether it is a good things as a whole anyway."

"Working long hours may overcome shortage of work time in the short term BUT eventually it will catch up with you."

"How many of us know of those who boast of working until 2am or 3am the next morning only turn up at work the following day after lunch." - WHAT IS THE POINT?!?!?!

"Someone who actually slept in the office under the table due to so-called work urgency and then disappeared for a few days due to exhaustion." - AGAIN, WHAT IS THE F**KING POINT??!!??!

"Productivity is a function of output and time; increasing number of hours worked may just reduce productivity if average output falls."

"Germany which has one of the highest productivity figures also is where people work the shortest hours." - Why are are we working 24/7 but still can't see the tail light or even smell the exhaust gas of German's Technology?

"We wasted a lot of time on pleasing internal bosses and preparing presentations."

"How many of us stay up late amending and redoing presentations for internal consumption when all effort should be focused on external clients where the revenue is."

"No need nice PowerPoint to show the Group CEO or MD what the thinking is, it is sufficient to outline and discuss the matter at hand, so time is not wasted on unproductive or non-revenue generating matters." - I partially agree with this, as some CEO or MD will judge one performance with the attractiveness of the PowerPoint, just like some I know. Which I think this is ridiculous, you should hire a graphic designer instead of a Team Leader or Manager then.

"Many of time, middle or lower management staff just wait around for the head honcho to turn up for a review or meeting." - Even on weekend. Some event waited for hours just because the head stuck somewhere on MARS meeting with another ET.

"A GOLDEN RULE OF MANAGEMENT is DO NOT waste too much time on internal meetings and presentations when the clients and revenue are all external."

Car Hijack

I've been asked a lot to blog about a recent car hijack that happened not on others but MYSELF.

However, I really don't feel like talking this much as the incident is still haunting me. But, to let the society be more alert and caution on what is happening around you, I decided to blog briefly on what happened.

31s May 2007 - 10PM, I was driving my beloved 8th Generation Honda Civic on Federal Highway heading PJ/Subang. When I was driving slowly in front of RTM (or Angkasapuri...don't really know the name) an stock Honda Accord knocked me from the back. I signal this car to stop aside but he refused. He over took me and drive toward Kerinchi Link flyover. I followed. He stopped aside once he was on the flyover. I came down from my car just after I saw a gentleman looking indian guy(with "quite formal" attire) came down from the brand new Honda Accord. The 1st thing I did is just like anyone who got knock form the back, I went to see my rear bumper 1st. Once I turned back, a big knife was pointing at my stomach. That Son of a B*itch asked me to "Tepi!! Tepi!!". I can't do anything as the knife is so near to me but to stand aside. Another Kancil came from the back at the same time. Another indian guy came out from the Kancil and rushed into my passenger seat meanwhile the 1st Son of a B*tch rushed into the driver seat and fled.


This is briefly what happended to me. So guys and girls, be more alert on the road next time. Especailly get knocked from the back. Don't get down from the car, take down the car number and drive to the nearest police station to make a report, even if the car is a Benz, BMW or Ferrari.....EVEN if the driver is a female, you will never know what animal is hiding inside the car or what animal is following her.
