The People Mover & Wedding.(edited version)

MPV? sure or not?

So.. new mpv from perodua is out yesterday..wat coverage kat showroom je lah..the so called mpv is alza.. Aku mls nak comment byk sbb leh je refer kat pa*ltan..motor tr@der or @utow*rld for the pro review. Tapi kalau nk baca my personal view...silakan...

Power & Handling.

Based pada comparison aku wat lebih kurang mcm avanza..top speed maybe lebih kurang..maybe they should organize a drag race between alza,avanza and grand livina.In my opinion alza will handle the road well than avanza because lower..But then again this is only opinion sbb bende2 technical nie kene test and compare..so tunggu je lah from pro review once these cars pit together..




Looks,Comfort & Realibility

Looks better than others..exora mcm nmpk boxy..maybe leh fite dgn livina..but again to me still look simple and safe design..The front ade la mcm myvi..ade org ckp myvi panjang..luckily the new design myvi mmg nmpk nice..ade sikit mcm swift..urghh

While the back design pon biasa je...safe design...

How about the space...emm..the 3rd row seat always menjadi comparison..but as i compare..lebih kurang je saiz..tp tah rase mcm cramped sikit..maybe masa aku tgk tuh ade org size plus dlm keter tuh...hahah.maybe nie pon derang leh comparekan nanti...penuhkan keter and try test tgk..emm..then baru leh tau mpv mana yg comfortable and reliable..

(edit) So below gambo aku amek dr 3rd row...kire OK gaklah dianya leg room..this time mmg wat space test..nie kat showroom BP ..time balik raya aji...so aku kire2...2nd and 3rd row tuh leh letak 4 orang saiz aku. (2+2)....nak letak 5 (3+5) leh gak..tp sempit gak lah...kesimpulannya aku leh bagi pass kat 3rd row alza nie..

The rest macam safety like ABS and airbag cuma available in premium edition..and for the gadget like gps and lcd available in advance edition...tak paham kat mysia nie...you have to pay to get safety mcm ABS..hopefully in the future bile dh dpt kontrak dgn global OEM..all these thing standard feature..So last thing is price..quite OK..i mean..cheap..banding dgn avanza,livina and exora...

So here my conclusion on the mpv...is it beautiful? NO..is it powerful? NO..will people buy it? YES...haha..sbb tak byk choice kat sini...actually to me ini bukan mpv..mcm station wagon..can sit 5 people and extra boot space...tahlah..at least much better than sumbat 7 people in a kancil kan..

(edit) OK..setelah melihat dgn lebih detail...alza boleh jadi mpv..only just...sbb it can do what the normal sedan can't do..carry extra people...dgn price 66k..mmg leh beli persona..the boot size is bigger..the engine is powerful..but persona tak leh bwk lebih 5 org..and takleh load vertical thing mcm beskal ke contohnya...that's mpv..leh multitasking...

(edit)So..how about compare dgn other rival...dr segi enjen and build quality rasanya takde problem..so far no problem dgn kualiti and enjen utk myvi..i guess same la dgn alza sbb enjen outsorce dr japan..sama like the rival..avanza & livina..exora tak pasti ade issue tak..maybe kene tunggu JD report tu nanti...anyway bg aku the crucial thing about 3rd row seat, luggage space and pricing...livina have better quality 3rd row seat than others..so far all pass the leg room test..tp mana yg plg luas and comfort..bg aku exora is biggest...Next on the luggage space...aku tgk alza and livina ade prob sikit part nie..without fold down 3rd row seat agak kecik banding dgn avanza and exora. medium size troli bag muat..but tak sure klau ade extra thing mcm prem ,golf bag and large troli bag..maybe leh test nanti...So the last part.pricing.. let say amek auto gear premium about 64k.compare dgn avanza 74k..exora 69k.livina 88k..mmg harga plg murah..ade sikit impak pada sale proton,toyota and nissan..which is good..sbb mesti kene turunkan harga utk bersaing..proton dah start wat..tp bagi aku yg akan suffer nanti sale avanza and livina..avanza 1.3 tuh mmg habis lah..livina apart from yg 1.8 takde issue.but yg 1.6 maybe ade jejas gak...bukan ape..before this cuma ade exora kaco market..yes it's cheaper but tak ramai convice dgn proton..so they end up buy avanza or livina..but now..alza is almost copycat from japan so will be no future issue.. actually alza nie ade tolong gak sale exora..but takde maknanya klau proton f**k up dgn wat low quality mpv.so harap2 in the future alza can dominate compact mpv class and exora dominate mid size mpv...it will be nice klau ade exora enjen 2.0 v6 in the future

(edit)Kecewa gak takde brochure kat dua2 showroom aku gi..just ade price list jek..in the end rame org kene refer kat salesman2 kat showroom...org zaman sekarang2 info savvy..even ade sorang makcik tuh pon tau psl ABS...betul information2 tuh ade kat media2 lain mcm internet ke..tp a simple brochure dgn ade spec sheet would be nice gesture kan?...proton lak mmg beriya nk menang hati consumer balik..tak pasti la brochure tu ade tp maybe abes kot...cuma harap2 perodua jgn cocky sgt n wat mistake mcm proton dulu....igt lagi dulu masa wira jd top seller..masuk showroom sales2 nya pon mcm tak kisah kau nk beli tak...skg bile dh down br tau..

(edit) Anyway harap2 this will mark new era in malaysia motoring..next year pon dgr cite waja baru nk kuar...hopefully perodua pon bwk masuk model baru myvi..haha..byk sgt berharap aku nie..mmg lah..aku suppot local motoring..mana tau 1 day..perodua and proton nie lah jadi mcm merc and bmw,,and maybe naza mcm audi.emmm

For me in a fantasy world.. i rather have audi rs6...the most powerful station wagon in the world..570bhp.enjen v10.powered not 1..but 2 turbocharger ..

or

These Merc E63 AMG Estate or BMW M5 touring pun bole..

These cars will make children or mentua kat belakang screaming sbb excited or takut..huwahaha.

The Wedding...

So...Ahad tu ade wedding kat Bidor..pengantin lelaki and pompuan kawan2 masa time project dulu...Tahniah K & Has...and klau nak beli mpv..belilah est*ma..hhah..korang gaji besar..

*Emm..gi naik keter sedan..ber5..haha..rasa time2 nie dpt naik alza pon OK..hihi.

The Replacement...Season 14..& The Wall

EBTM Replacement Duty

So... last week aku involve balik projek nie...tp just for kick off meeting je sbb regular consultant yg wat tu tak dapat gi...emm.memula bos agak reluctant nk bagi lepas..tp last2 bagi gak lah..aku pon dh byk lupa pasal projek nie sbb kan dah stop involve..anyway destinasi kali nie ialah labuan..sbb nk implement for pet* methanol...

Time Travel.
Flite aku ari jumaat kul 9am...so pagi jumaat tu aku singgah dl umah akak aku untuk simpan keter..ok..aku pon tak tau kenapa arituh bad time management..sampai umah akak aku dlm kul 7.15am..then aku tetiba realise...aku kene naik erl at least yg trip kul 8am sbb boarding kul 8.30am..it takes around 30 min to reach KLIA..yikes..klau nk suruh akak aku hantar KL sentral tak pasti sempat tak dgn morning traffic rush..last2 decide naik lrt...sampai2 stesen wangsa maju dah kul 7.25am...tgk2 tren mmg penuh..dapat naik tren 7.30am..anxiously tgk jam..harap2 dpt catch erl kul 7.45am..berjayakah?

Tidak...sampai KL sentral 7.50am...mmg kene naik erl kul 8am..that's mean mmg kene lari bile dh sampai KLIA...nk aja ckp kat driver tren suwuh bawak laju sikit...sampai KLIA kul 8.28am..lari2 ke gate B2..sib baik aku dah web cek in sehari sblm tuh and boarding pass pon dh siap print...sampe2 gate dh kul 8.40am..fuh sib baik lom boarding lagi..haha.klau tak mesti kuar annoucement nama aku suwuh final boarding...hehehe. letih la berlari..nie la akibat wat perangai mcm naik bas kat pudu lak..

Labuan

Flite ke labuan around 2 1/2 jam...ade breakfast disediakan...nasi lemak or roti jala..huh??..smpai2 airport labuan ade private jet sape tah...ade event nie kat labuan..kathijah ibrahim naik 1 flite td...time nk gerak gi hotel kelihatan org2 sdg bersedia nk gi semayang jumaat..aku tak kot..musafir..hehe...initially suppose duk hotel waterfront..http://www.malaysiahotelreview.com/sabah/hotel/waterfront-labuan/03.shtml..looks nice eh..tp tak jadi..fully booked plak...last2 duk hotel mariner.. nie semua sebab plant tutup time nie...so rame la kontraktor2 service plant memenuhi bandar labuan..adus..


Hotel Mariner

Hotel nie tak tau la brapa bintang...takde swimming pool..basic room..rasa mcm hotel kat batu pahat lak..takde la teruk..cuma biasa...tp yang tak bestnya sampai2 hotel nie tak leh cek in lagi...ye la cek in kul 3pm kan...bilik lak almost all penoh..siap ade yg extend sampe kul 5pm lagi..dapat 1 bilik je dulu.so kitaorang ber4 letak beg dululah.gi cari tempat makan..lunch kat restoren sabar menunggu..hihi.byk lauk dia..aku rekomen tempat nie sbb lauk dia ala2 mcm kat semenanjung..surprisingly byk kedai mamak kat labuan nie..emm..lps lunch..balik hotel lepak2 kat lobi yg kecil itu...dlm kul 2pm siap2 lebih kurang then gerak gi pet methanol..

Meeting sampe kul 5pm..tgk2 keter staff kat sini average vios or altis..ye la murah kan..altis harga dlm 70k..balik hotel..bilik dh ready...bilik level 1 ..so dapat la wifi..so camne rupa biliknya.jeng2
Basic je biliknya..view luar..tak menarik..bilik air lak kecik..ade la sinki & shower. no bath tub..toiletries ade sabun & shampoo je..so kene la aku beli ubat gigi & toothbrush..towel ade la.

Lain2 ade la mini bar..cerek..coffee making.selipar dgn remote tv tadek..erkk..bukan nak complain.just review je..i've been worst than this..anyway set kul 6.30pm kuar jalan2 & dinner..mmg dah gelap time nie..mcm dah mati pon ade gak bandar nie...gi la jalan2 kat financial park tuh..takde ape..then kat luar tuh ade mcm tmpt makan..byk kedai jual sayap ayam..chicken wing..order la mkn nasi goreng ayam...tak sedap..erk.worst panas..yup cuaca mmg panas sini..takde angin lansung...lps dinner chow balik hotel..baru kul 8pm lebih...gile bosan...ade aktiviti mlm2 nie..kat pub lah..tp takkan aku nk gi sorang kan.haha..takda kaki..membe aku yg keje pet tuh gi KL plak..huh..so main internet je la mlm tuh

Not Really Sightseeing...

Good morning labuan....kul 7.30am turun for the free breakfast..biasa je...then lps tu siap2 nk jalan area tuh...i really mean jalan or walk..jauh gak lah..usha2 kedai duty free..


Seriously ade 3 je benda yg murah...booze..rokok and coklat...aku tak berminat nk beli rokok..sbb dgr cite rasa tak best..ala mcm rokok langkawi..aku beli curut je...then few coklat..memula nk beli gak booze..bukan nk minum..tp botol2 nya agak menarik designnya..tp tanya membe aku klau beli tp tak minum still dosa so tak jadi la beli..

The walk some more..sampai area2 pasar...takde bende menarik..ade la jual mutiara tp harga takde la murah sgt..lpk2 minum then head back to hotel...rehat2..check out kul 1pm..aku try gak suggest ajak sight seeing..tp the rest tak berminat..so lepak je lah kat airport sampe flite kul 5.20pm..kill time by lepak kat McD..more wifi activiti..aku pon dh tak tau nk surf web apa...haha

In conclusion..labuan is OK klau nak beli booze...lyn pinoy girl kat pub.hihi..takdelah..kidding..sightseeing pun nice...cuma aku tak berkesempatan je..maybe time and enthusiasm of other people agak kurang...by the way leh refer my fren blog pasal jalan2 kat labuan nie...http://half-bloodmaleh.blogspot.com/2009/04/labuan.html..

Season 14

Next story is about Top Gear...Yess..they will be back for season 14 on November 15.yehuu..below is the teaser video..




The Wall



Ohh.this week also mark 20th anniversary of the fall of berlin wall..layan gak dokumentari nie kat history channel...http://www.history.com/shows.do?action=detail&episodeId=502908

So Happy November!!..

Where's Sisu??

Entry emo yg ditulis during cold & rainy nite...ada few thing membuat aku terfikir. Well this morning ade la ex projek mate aku join as contractor. Before dia gerak gi tower to start his project..singgah la jap kat tempat aku...ade la tanya2 sikit sambil tunjuk2 skill dia..emm mmg power..kira already different level..eat me like breakfast..mcm nissan 370z wat kat bmw z4.hahah wat a metafor..n from the feedback from manager & senior mmg he's the right person...emm

Actually there's no jealousy here..kagum on what some people have achieved...It's seems that they have learn so much and gain more knowledge in a short little time...Although it's been almost 4 years i've doing S#P..tp for me the core.. the totally involvement in configuration cuma 2 years..Yup i'm happy with current job..good setup..i can learn at my own pace..but is it enough to take me to the next level? Tahlah..I'm still weak in few modules..CO.PS even assets..

So how i'm going to reach that level? Change company? maybe by going to a more challenging firm such as Acc**t**e? Ax*n?...then bile dh power br wat contract..But am i ready? Going there itself need good basic and experience..I still trauma from past bad experience...emm

Well..tahlah..to me..all i need is to find SISU....so then i can move to the next level and become same par as others...mcm bmw M3 dgn merc c63 AMG..haha another merapu metafor

What is SISU by the way??? wiki je..you'll find the answer.. :)
