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!

easier said than done..

A recent conversation with a friend made me realise there are so much things, when said is ideal, when done might turn out to be less pleasant. Well of course one cannot run away from continuously managing an activity or action so that it does not turn ugly at all. Continuous management is what human tend to call, commitment. And who the hell made that word up, I've missed an M the first time I wrote it! As far as I lived to write this post today, I am 'proud' to still not tied down by the human-termed 'commitment'. I can have all the 365 days for myself, all my earnings for myself (of course I voluntarily treat my family which made me happy, and that's what I do for myself too) and all the time for myself. I can safely assume that I have almost zero commitment. Probably as the level of maturity heightens with age, responsibility and commitment come into play naturally. Not sure if from zero to hero sounds great when it is about commitment to everyone but I gues...

golf..

I had the chance to try golf yesterday. My colleague offered to teach me some of the basics so we off to Miri Golf Club for a few 'noob' hit at the driving range. Golf ain't easy eh.. We paid 5 bucks for 50 balls... that's 10 cents for a ball. Ok, I think it worth. If I make a bad hit, it's equivalent to throwing a 10 cents coin into the river. Hahah. It's gonna be a while for me to train myself to hit the ball most of the time. Currently, I'm already feeling the after effect of swinging the golf club. Muscle aches... Anyway, lets not stop halfway here...
