This is a long overdue post which should have been posted one month earlier!!! In fact I have some other posts that are so much worse than this... For example, the 'Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS)'!!! I felt so sorry for those who frequent my blog because you are reading outdated blog post most of the time!!! Don't worry, I will try to rectified this problem as fast as I can... At the meantime, enjoy my last 'Chinese New Year' posting!!!

Guess I'm getting old nowadays... I totally forgot about it!!! Actually the brake pad change is before I change the tyres for the '308 Turbo'... It cost me RM5xx just for the front brake pad... In my opinion, I think that the price is a bit steep because these are OEM brake pad and not performance brake pad!!! But frankly speaking, the performance is rather good because after repeated high speed stop, I can't feel any brake fade at all...

The '308 Turbo' came equipped with 'Bosch' brake pad while the replacement one is OEM for 'Peugeot/Citroen'... Kind of weird because I though the car should come equip with OEM one instead of 'Bosch'??? But this is a small problem because the performance level of both brake pad are rather similar... Just praying that the OEM one will last a little longer than the 'Bosch'!!! Or maybe I should just change my driving style???

From the producer of 'Titanic' and 'Avatar' is written all over the poster of 'Sanctum'... I think from the beginning, they themselves are not really confident about this movie and since 'James Cameron' is part of the movie they might as well capitalize on this... So you know how I feel about this movie then... I'm not impress!!! If you are like me expecting it to be like 'Titanic' or 'Avatar', I got a word for you and that is 'IN YOUR DREAM'!!! So I got no choice but to watch it like a documentary but with lesser knowledge gain of course... But there is one thing I learn from this movie which is no matter how famous your name is, it will never save anything lousy even with your name on it!!! 'Sanctum' is the best example...

To be honest I'm quite amaze at the 'Toyota Vios'... I have never really driven one for a prolong period until yesterday and I found that I'm in a love hate situation here... Driving the 'Vios' in isolation, it is a great car but this can't be said if you compare it to some other cars out there... But what impresses me is how frugal it is... I can't believe it because given the performance, I'm expecting the fuel consumption to be far worse... Don't get me wrong here about the performance of the 'Vios'... It is not supercar or performance car quick... Far from it in fact... But if you compare it to those in the same category, it is quite a performer...

The car is nippy and the engine is rev happy like there is no inertia... I believe this is because of the weight of the car or the lack of it... It weight like a feather next to the '308 Turbo' and not to mention my due to be out from the workshop, 'FrankenBenz'!!! I manage to use only one full tank of fuel for my KL - Johor - KL trip with some mix driving... Some town driving plus some pedal to the metal driving... This can't be achieve by the '308 Turbo'... In my opinion, no other car can have this kind of performance plus the frugality other than a hybrid or a diesel... I'm really impress...

So want to know what makes me hate this car??? If you have driven a new 'Vios', I'm very sure most of you will agree with me on this... This problem is so stupid that I find it hard to believe that 'Toyota' is capable of making it!!! The wiper system don't have a 'INTERMITTENT' function!!! I was driving yesterday and it started to drizzle and believe me on this, I nearly got my hand cramp because of the stupid wiper system... In order to wipe the windscreen intermittently on a 'Vios', you need to rely on your hand or finger... Come on 'Toyota'... The cheapest car in Malaysia have it and why can't a 'TOYOTA VIOS' have it??? Please don't tell me about cost saving because the whole car is already made from plastic... So any engineers working in 'Toyota' kind to elaborate on this???

p.s. - Thanks for lending me your car... You know who you are!!! ;)

This is their limited edition dish which is only available during this 'Chinese New Year'... So obviously the name of this dish is call 'CNY Spring Chicken'!!! The whole chicken is deep fried to perfection but it tasted a bit bland to me...

My darling's 'Chicken Whole Leg'... I tried this dish some time back which I don't really fancy... But surprisingly, I kinda like it this time... Don't really know what happen maybe there is something wrong with my taste bud that day???

My all time favourite!!! This is a must have dish for me when I dine in 'Ikea'!!!
