The MATRIX pride

Music, motorcycles and computer always interest me no matter how. I m a bike enthusiast, I love to ride, love to hear them roar and love to see the art of this machine especially the v-twins. Recently Harley Davidson released their promising kick ass models which include the fatbob dyna and the new brand ol-skool-look ‘cross bone’. Not forgetting their competitors Yamaha or commonly refer as ‘star bikes’ also giving their best product for their 08 model, ‘riders’. I m quite sure most of you guys are keen to this bike since it is equipped with ‘what every rider hungers’ ; the fat rear tyre, the chopped rake, forward control etc.

Yesterday i went to yamaha agent to take a good look for the 's rider'. Actually the bike arrived a week ago but was not in the show room yet, got the opportunity to observe this bike in their back garage. I felt throbbing under my chest along my way to the garage, i thought the bike must be a huge beast but it was not that 'big'. As i expected; it was a futuristic pro street kinda machine. I looked hard on the bike and it was the rear that caught onto my eyes. The rear tyre is fitted with 210 wide tyre and it suits the 'neo-duck-tail' rear fender. Other then that i guess the 39 degree rack with the 21 inches front wheel impressed me. While the rest, it is more or less like their prior models... I can say it is a blend of ‘roadstar’ and the legend ‘warrior’. Oh btw, this bike is equipped with fuel injection and I reckon all new generation bikes must be installed with this technology and I guess it is mandatory (is it ?). I don’t have the opportunity to hear the rumble from this beast but m sure its powerful since it is a 1900cc but ya know with rapid engine vibrates. Overall, just need some add-on accessories and little touch ups I guess. For more detail surf to star riders official site

Down here are the snaps I took... let yourself consider and be wise!

The front end, nice rake, nice headlamp, nice raiser but not the handlebar

the 210 rear tyre and the belt final drive... impressive !

A 1854 cc engine, 5 speeds, aircool and the pushrod and surprisingly it is a computer controlled machine. I dont noe how it works, but I think thats cool..!

Exhaust system - oxygen sensor dual barrels and they are big...

I m not bais to marixs, it is all about opinions, and frankly this is the real beast... just like I said this is the bike most of us hungered... most of the fittings are perfect, just a little tweak and you will ride with proud. This machine is all about "CHOPPER & TECHNOLOGY". But... just a small 'but'... m always wondering if 'star rider' can give me more on their merchandises... a real 'motorcyclist pride', i mean a real one...

It is not all about 'what u ride' but 'what you always wanted'... peace to all riders and ride on!

Ja.ming.e.sation

‘Jamingesation’ is a precise word to utter contentment in our jamming activity with the availability of complete line up, the five of us (dues, suji, jul, coach and me). I have not heard of this word ever since coach was busy preparing for his UBD exam. Usually we jam at least once a week, but as preceding mentioned, coach was busy with his UBD thingy, so nothing much we can do but to wait until his final examination. As he finished, we jammed untuk melapas gian but without the present of Mr.Deus. So it was not considered as ‘Jamingesation’ since we were lacking of one member.

Yesterday was our ‘jamingesation’ session, meaning the complete line up was in action. It felt awkward after nearly 2 months of not playing together. There were lots of mistakes and really need to ‘polish’, but yet managed to complete all songs that we play… atu yang penting tu!. Furthermore it was fun, kalah fun donut... banarrr!

Actually our last performance was at coach’s house during his birthday occasion few months ago, we tried to recall all songs we played as well the cords that seem to fade away form our memory. Yes, we wrote cords for some of the songs but mostly not… hehehe pemalas, unta padang pasir pun nda malas mcm kamu ani… except for jul who compiled all lyrics in his ‘buku lirik keramat warna merah’ and I bet he cant sing properly without the manuscript hahaha. While for the rest of us, the best way to overcome this dilemma is to brain storm within the bandmates... it sounds unprofessional… but that’s helps. I guess we will start our ‘jamingesation’ again and we are ready for more genres especially reggae and jazz if possible…. Damai untuk nandong2 terbang!

p/s: the word 'jamingesation' cannot be found in any dictionary except in 'DBS' (dictionary buat sendiri)

ja.ming.e.sation (noun / adverb / kata imbuhan transitif)

1. The state of being pleasure during jamming

2. Feeling of satisfictory to the power of 5
3. Whatever !

It has been a while I didn’t update my blog, quite busy recently with works etc. I admit blogging is some kind of magical, cant resist.. it’s kinda place to express thoughts or should I say a ‘whats in mind ?’ institution… mostly talking about interesting events, exchange ideas, opinions, gossiping ? or anything that suits to share with others. For those who are not good in making conversation, this is the best place where we can interact ; 'text' as the medium, fingers are the main component to deliver whats in your mind. Thats what I do in my sparetime... duduk2 dapan computer, inda tau apa kan d buat then I'll starts 'e-texting' aka blogging.

Lets start with yesterdayyy... all my troubles seem so far awayyyy... after the school hours, I received a msg from dudy and he told me about the arrival of Sibu bikers. They were here for the BIBBF event held at Limbang. I called abg hasrin, kulin and suji if they can come down to JB to welcome our sibu bikerhoods. As we arrived, some of them have left or most probably headed straight to Limbang. While some, they wanted to go to Harley’s agent and we accompanied them of course. After like an hour at the agent, we decided to go home because we have other agenda in the evening.

Evening, went to yayasan with my GF deena, kulin and nanak for window shopping. I surveyed SLRs at yayasan 3rd floor. I saw the new Sony SLR and it really made my heart pounding hard. Its kinda natural reaction if I craved something for a long time. I have sony F-838 once, but something wrong with the internal circuits. Havent fix it yet, most of my friends advised me to get a new one instead…. Hemmm… FYI, I love photo-shooting, as for me it is sort of art. I love art... what can I say!?. How I wish to take one home (i mean in a good way of course, bali ahh bukan curi!!! heheh) but it was a bit pricey. So just left the counter and looked around for Deena, she was with nanak at Osim’s. While they were browsing for Osim’s stuffs, took this opportunity to sit at the "chair massage" and eventually tried this machine with kulin. Frankly speaking, i dont like the chair at the first place but slowly its getting so relaxing, so relieve... nyaman nyamooo…, Maybe one day m gonna have one insyAllah.... how I wish, Banyak jua kan d bali ani ahhh… mun beusin bisai! Yayasan ku bali selajur... but ia tah napsuuu tuu.. as my father said mun kan ikut nafsu saja, dunia ani pun kan d talan rasanya… hehehe I always remember that line.

Today I have ice cream at DQ with deena. I ate chocolate ice cream with vanilla topping, earthquake chocolate bla bla bla…. I don’t remember… tadi ingat ku! anyways, good ice cream, cannot resists, so nyaman. Yawnnnn… guess better stop here… time to dive to bed... PEACE!... up up and awayyyyyy!!!!

Hayyyaaaaa...

Last friday was my unlucky day. A sleepy driver hit my luggage door.. still remember and saw clearly from my rear mirror a big vehicle was approaching fast towards my car and not showing to slow down. I don’t see any car on the right lane prohibited his way to the right since he was moving fast. The car kept on the left lane and eventually gave a big bang behind my car… damn! hexa damn!... I was hit… I was hit !... then I realized my new car was hit.. mannn!. It was like playing bumper cars but I don’t feel the fun of being hit on my new car, We (actually I was with faizal) were hit by a huge vehicle, it was a big transit. I pulled over and jumped out of the car, I saw a young man out of the vehicle.. he looked blur and miserable. I asked him what on earth he was doing? “mengantuk ku..” he responded… arrrrrrgh.. mengantukkkk.. I was so pissed off but still have mercy on him since I saw his guilty face… *sigh* kerita ku yang basar anak gajah ani pun nda ko nampak ? but his car was more to mama gajah I noticed hehe but that was not the problem… the problem was why me? why me? Driving cermat pun orang lain cuai!.

Faizal came out from the car and asked me why... a single perfect word to answer “mengantuukkkkk!!!”. Faizal sighed and talked something to the man. I dont really heard on their conversation I just felt arghhhh!... The man then sit on the stable and probably watched me glancing around my “not even a scratch before” car. Then I stared at his face and he looked ‘blur’. I asked him whose car he was driving and obviously it was his company’s car. I told him to call his boss immediately. I heard the conversation “aku melanggar kerita org…. hemmm… mengantuk ku…and bla bla…” can hardly imagine how it feels to tell a boss in such situation. The police petrol came, faizal’s brother came, our friend came, my dad, my brother, faizal’s dad and car towings came from nowhere. This shows the concern of our people in Brunei… love u all.

The boss came after 20 minutes or so… she was a Chinese lady with her 2 sidekicks. She asked her worker “macam mana boleh langgar?”. I let them have their conversation while I was talking to the officers. Then the Chinese boss asked faisal if it was his car, faizal said “no no…” and pointed to me. The boss asked me what happened? I was not in the good mood to answer “this my car and that’s ur car, aku pecak belakang and yours pecak depan.." I stopped and assuming she understood that "kerita ku kana langgar by ur car" after his driver already confessed on his mengantukness. Actually I don’t mean to be rude, but my mind keep on thinking “kerita baruuuuu… cacat tiaaa!”. The boss smiled and offered me to repair my car at their workshop, I refused, I want it to be done at my place at Tutong so I can make sure everything will be installed with brand new. Maybe it sound a bit demanding but for sure it was not my fault and it is my new car which I just did the 2nd service a few days before.

After some negotiations, they finally agreed, the boss was pretty considerate anyway. We went to police station at Tutong for statements. The boss apologized on behalf of his driver carelessness and as reassurance she promised to cover all damages on my car. She was a responsible boss, she understood my situation and felt sorry on what happened. At least m glad for her and that’s what I call “peace, love and respect” to others.

Wait! just wait...

After years of waiting, finally I swapped my old prima to a new 3g sim card that was introduced by dst last saturday. I thought it was a rumor that dst will have their video call compatibility. Im glad for dst for having this kind of technology. This is among their best offer after the exceptional plans fare for prima users. Furthermore no charges at all for the sim upgrade. Go dst! go for it!

I must say i am a loyal dst customer, ive been using dst prima for more than a decide. Nowadays dst offered various types of cool stuffs, the latest and hot offer from dst is the “Go broadband”. It is some kind of unlimited internet access and mannn… it is really cool. Just imagine u can access internet anywhere u like as long as there is a dst signal! So thumbs up to dst whereas positive competition among ISPs are now foreseen. Thus helps users to choose the best options provided from different ISPs. But anyway Im still stick on espeed but i dont noe in future... Who knows?

Last nite, I upgraded my e90 firmware to 200.34.73. After hours of waiting, my phone started to switch off and on. I was worried if anything happen, there were warnings not to do this and that and bla bla bla during upgrading process. After the restart, I can see the welcome screen again but I was shocked, my Albert Enstein’s wallpaper vanished and all my data were erased!. Luckily, I backup all data on the previous day so I can retrieve everything back to normal. Anyways, there is nothing special with this new firmware I guess, just a new quickoffice, flash video support, fast booting and I don’t noe, maybe more… all in all its worth of waiting.

And today m here on a couch waiting for my car on service. I dont noe when they will finish servicing my car, m here waiting like ages. How i wish to lay on this couch and have a nap. Anyway I met this australian guy and he told me that he has been waiting since 1pm and it is almost 3 hours now. I started having conversation with him just to kill boredom. We are here for the same reason.. For our 2nd car service. I just feel like to go home but since m all the way from tutong i guess I better have patience to wait... just wait. Yawnnnn... I better go out for a cigarette.
