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!

Office in Weekend= Library in Unim

Spend some of my weekend hours in the office. Nostalgically, this scenario reminds me back at the days when I visited the library. Spent the 1st 30 mins fiddling books, and the remaining hours chatting with friend, surfing internet while waiting for friends call to go for a short (like 40 mins) tea break outside the university. And now, I'm waiting for colleagues' call to head for cinema.. tickets bought already anyway. Life in Miri is much more easy going than in KL. Office is just 5 minutes away from my home, cinema/ town 15 minutes from office. No jam, more time, but lack of crazy funny stuff to do. Hope my boss don't see this... ahaha..just kidding but hey, isn't today Saturday?!

Rediscovering Hobby

Just arrived hotel room, I decided to blog. 1 hour earlier, I felt so sleepy in my suite. no nice movie, no happenings. I had a simple dinner earlier due to uneasy stomach. So, I am bored and a little hungry and grabbed my car key and headed down to basement. I drove up to Hilltop area and down to town and then up to Luak and down to Pelita where I ended up with Char Kuey Teow in my stomach. It's fun to drive here at night. Empty, twisty roads, hilly slopes and smooth pavements and most importantly, I see no traffic police. That doesn't mean I'm speeding. I'm no speeder now. I'm more into appreciating conners and twists. I'm in a 1.3 Myvi and I was enjoying the ride. It could be better if the handling is more precise and encouraging. Power is not the priority for my ride now, it's the handling. I figured what I need to have in my Myvi. -A rear strut bar (I have one in front already) - GAB/ Eibach sports spring -15" light weight wheels - All round diffus...

Infactuation

Somehow, I grew fond of her. I wanted to see her everyday, be with her. Today, I spent 3 hours washing her on the inside. Finally she's clean. I bet previously her master does not take care of her that well, can see from misalignment, poor hygiene etc. Then, in the evening I took her to an accessory shop and present her an arm rest. It suited her rather well. I've just kick started my career so hope she will bear with me. I promised to get her something nicer when I'm better off with my job. demure looking Man, I can't wait to see her in skirts. Her 'future' skirts... Don't swt...
