The all new Mazda6 2008
Now that's what I call car! Masculine body reflecting a bit of BMW5 series from the side and lexus from the back. It just looks sexy from the back. I can't wait to get my hand on this bella.

Tips when filling up gasoline into your car
Tips on Filling your Vehicles...
This is a Message received from a friend:
I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol... but here in Durban, we are also paying higher, up to 47.35 per litre.
But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth
for every litre.
Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline, where I work in Durban, we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel; the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.
ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS
STILL COLD.
Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground,
the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your litre is not exactly a litre.
In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and
other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business.
But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE.
If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that arecreated, while you are pumping.
All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour.
Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.
The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof.
This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every litre is actually the exact amount.
ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your money.

New lifestyle in Malaysia
Ever since the fuel hikes on 5th June 2008. It has dramatically changed every Malaysian lifestyle. I guess it is getting worse cause most Malaysia are cutting down 'lifestyle' expenses that they used to spend more. Prolly lesser booze, cheaper clothings (less branded and I mean no Bata brand, maybe Ah Seng brand from China), taking public transport (isn't buying local cars at RM50 grand is pathetic enough? and now public transport and riding scooters?) Geezuz. I really thought when time progresses the lifestyle of the Malaysian citizen should improve but now is the other way round? Is this happening only in Malaysia or it is actually impacting on the countries?

(Looking on the bright side: Better traffic in KL)
Cardiologist Dr Ramesh Singh Veriah takes just 10 minutes driving from his home in Bangsar to his workplace at University Malaya Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur. Previously, the 5km journey took some 30 minutes.
Adam, from Pandan Indah, now arrives for work in Jalan Hang Tuah in the city centre 20 minutes early.
Like Ramesh and Adam, many drivers in the Klang Valley, Penang and other parts of the country are seeing less traffic following the June 5 fuel price hike.
> Kuala Lumpur City Hall recorded a drop of almost 12,000 cars entering the city daily a week after the fuel price hike;
> Queues at LRT stations are getting longer and car parks are bursting at the seams;
> A bus company in Putrajaya has recorded a 10% increase in the number of passengers;
> Daily traffic volume on the Penang Bridge has dropped by 7% from the previous daily volume of 67,000 vehicles;
> Sales of motorcycles have increased by up to 25%. Demand is higher than supply now; and
> More women are buying scooters.

I wish that you was here
To celebrate together
I wish that we can spend
The holidays together
I remember when you use
To tuck me in at night
Or the teddy bear u give me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You make it through whatever
It's so hard to except
The fact you gone forever
I never knew
I can hurt like this
And everyday
Life rolls on
