I bow to my temptation

I always hoped to be able to fit my Logitech sound system into my car, and then bring it home again for use with laptop. Blame the crappy sound system in myvi. Proton wins this deal, yeah only this.

My desire to upgrade myvi sound system grew much much stronger today morning. Maybe it was the dream yesterday night. My only complaint (in audio section) for myvi is the bassless sound system, coupled with audible road noise.

So, I went to a shop near E-mart, Tudan, Miri, Sarawak (In case for those in the West Msia, it's not ulu here... I don't go ulu places to get my upgrades. Was looking for plug and play equipment ( I'm not faithful to crappy car) and found this active subwoofer, Alpine SWE-1000. There were other subs there as well but Alpine caught my eye (the other eye was looking at RM1k pioneer HU, but no no, no money)

This is it:-

A fellow in the shop recommended me to fit in a voltage capacitor, where the voltage can be tracked and can avoid drainage of battery. I took that up as well. But kinda regret now as I max out the audio, subs, high beam lights, full air con with hazard light. The capacitor recorded 12.0V compared to 14V. Shit, kena tipu.

Anyway, the bill was prosperous at RM888.00. I was very happy on my way home, took the longest route but was depressed to view maybank2u when reached home.

This is life. Got ups and downs.

I wish this is a tube subwoofer la, but too bad is a useless capacitor

This is the subwoofer, small but sufficient

Fits under the seat snugly

I love remote controls, and this sub come with 1!

Leisure Driving

I've just returned from driving around Miri. From Miri Airport bypass to Miri-Pujut road. I stopped by a bakery to ease my stomach after paying so much attention on the road. (maybe it's the brunch, not the drive..lol) When I returned home. I felt so wasted. The road is not twisty and I wasn't even in a fun hot hatch. I was doing a spirited driving in a TOWN CAR! Boring. If I were to be relocated back to KL someday, bet that I would get a car that I could appreciate the thrill of driving up to Genting once in a while for a short getaway from the city. Well, Miri aint city... there's no my claimed 'getaway' for me here. Nevertheless, my current car is a decent one, a nippy zippy town car. Just that sometimes it serves the wrong purpose. Tried hard to cope with my demand. lol. I'm not abusive of my car. I'm more of touge style that drag. I guess 2 more tyres are ready to go. In short, the car is here to stay although it did not really meet my expectation.

are you happy with your job

Are you happy with your job? Do you find yourself sighing or maybe swearing every morning you spread your arms waking up? Do you already feel sad on Sunday when you need to iron your clothes? And do you stare at the wall by your bed before sleeping on Sunday and mumbled 'here we go again'? I have been self demotivated at times thinking about my career. As a young and active graduate, I am impatient, eager, charged and so wanting to do something much more challenging in the working world. However, the role that I am assigned currently is a little reserved and pace keeping. I find myself dissatisfied for picking up things much slower than anyone else, even time catches up on me. It's a year already. I'm giving myself another period of time for the hope that things will change, get better or perhaps favors me. I admit I may be over ambitious at times but please don't kill it, I want to set to be somebody someday although I may not have the capability for such achieveme

Leaving the Comfort Zone

Picture courtesy of http://sweetanniesjewelry.wordpress.com/ There's only a few days to the end of my hotel stay, company car and free time in the company. Next week, I'll be living at Pujut 5, renting an empty room there. Getting own car, meaning the need to bear maintaneance cost, monthly repayment etc. And work wise, I think my boss is starting to hand some work. Gonna be involved in a Shell 'co-curricular' activities soon..ahahaha. You don't run away from extra work. Hahahaha! However, I'm still far from being crazily insufficient time like my fellow colleagues.. Guess I gotta be ready to step out of my comfort zone and work my career! I need motivation! As geeky as it sounds, I really need it...

somewhere there ~~
