Oh what a night!!!

Lucky lucky...was given an invite to the preview launching of the new C-class Merc (that is such a beautiful car but why is the side profile so much like an E90 3 series?) ..so I brought the sisters there..was late, felt underdressed and had to sign in the guestbook..aah sorry, no name card, (Sorry, but I dont rate a high enough salary or position to get my own card) so I had to fill in the blank cards..whoa lo and behold, there was a lucky draw and of all the people there, I got one of the only two prizes...I am now a proud owner of a genuine Mercedes Benz Collection Chrono watch..what a beautiful and lucky ending to the day!! Im smiling to sleep now...zzzzz:)

How illogical??

I say, I've seen some dumb things done in my life..but I tell you, what I saw just now must be the dumbest thing Ive ever seen done. I was at a friend's audio accessories shop and there was a very nice 9 mth old BMW 3 series sitting there (bear with me, my description says car freak, so expect posts in this vein to crop up regularly ok?) having its interior being taken out.

Why and who in the world would take out the full leather interior of a 9 mth old $80k car to install speakers which are poorer quality than those which came with the car itself? For God's sake, it comes equipped with BMW Professional audio system where all the components are frequency matched to give the best sound and you rip it out to install your so-called idea of better sound which sounds like the thrown together $600 system in my 20k car??

Oh the best part is, there was a huge aS* speaker installed at the footrest (yes, I am NOT kidding!) right next to the brake pedal..may I shoot the person whose idea it was to install it there? Please? Or at least let me take a hockey stick to his head? He probably rides a bicycle to work and does not know what the concept of driver safety is. Or his legs may have ears to listen to said speaker.

The owner who bought this car from a previous owner said that there has been a few times where he stepped on the speaker to emergency brake..ok. Applause deserved to your initiative to remove said speaker before lives are lost..by stepping on the speaker to brake. Probably will do us all a favour by smashing it so we dont have to listen to poor quality sound. Speaker in the driver's footwell, what a genius...

My blogsite is finally up...

Yess!!! Ive finally bitten the bullet and done it...it is still under heavy construction as Ive run out of ideas but for now it will have to do...

...my blogsite for Toyota Vios accessories.. http://garyvios.blogspot.com. I am happy, because now there is another dimension of sorts for the awareness that there is someone offering quality alternative to shops in terms of Toyota Vios modification..

There will be the focus for all the things I have on offer..I will also eventually offer a 'bulletin board' for 2nd hand stuff and it wont be restricted to car stuff only..keep looking, who knows you might find something you like...help me spread the word, or if you have frustrated friends who do not know where to get certain stuff for their car, who knows, I might be able to help, or point him/her to someone who can help...

What a weekend...such a blast!!

OK whose idea was it to have a picnic at Meragang beach? It was my aunt's..who never even came..right...but it was soooo fun!!!! of the whole family invite only 3 families came, 3rd uncle's, youngest uncle's & ours...and what fun it was!!! BBQ, sandcastles, hmm...football with the kids...either Im old or the kids nowadays are too energetic...hahahaha..we all had a blast, the kids had a blast of a time, and that's the most important thing...family bonding. We should do this more often, that way we keep our familial ties strong, which is an important thing in today's day & age of work-sleep-work mentality..anyways I'll be signing off now cos cuzzie came to split a bottle (again) of white...good dayzzzzzzzzzzz..........
