Looks like sooooo much fun..
Knock Knock Knock, Penny.. Knock Knock Knock.. Penny.. Knock Knock Knock.. Penny..
Some of you might know that I follow the CBS tv series, The Big Bang Theory. If you think you know a thing or two about the sciences, I strongly suggest you get started with this tv show (its never too late). Well, the person behind the jokes seriously deserve credits. Simply too brilliant. Laugh to smart jokes, not lame jokes.
For those who follows the episodes, here's penny's photoshoot for MAXIM. haha! she might not be the prettiest girl in hollywood but definitely a lot of charisma. Her character makes us feel less dumb at most of the times when we don't get a joke from the show, or getting the joke late. Now she's even made it to MAXIM. Kudos.
Just when you thought you forgot about the YOYO craze
Who says chicks who play the YOYO cannot be hot? Check this out MOFOs. she's got the moves.

Very good video editing. Check out how them boys tear up summit Point. Video Rated D. nice
I'm terribly sorry. I just can't help it.
OMG. This is ill. Very poisonous. I'm sorry. It's not my fault.
Check this out if you're a fan of Flintstones
Many scientist are out on the run to find us the replacement for petrol while treasure hunters continue to search for Atlantis to find us a solution for the next 50 years to come. I wonder how its steering system is going to work but as far as the drivetrain is concerned, its looking good. Maybe if it's incorporated with a proper flywheel, it could go up to speeds where it's not safe! lol
Bravo. It only cost 99 USD by the way. Good start!
Killer whale kills trainer at SeaWorld. RIP.
I always thought they were adorable. Free Willy was one of those movies that moved me when I was a kid. It seems that the trainer slipped and fell into the tank but I wonder how did she drown with the whale? this is weird.
MOMbot
Lately, I've been digging alot into robotics due to the problem I'm facing at work. And I came across this. This would be like Lamborghini to your mom - The Dream Machine. LOL! If this thing was introduced to our mamak stalls, thats the end of them indian boys' career. What flips more roti canai than mamak boys? MOMBOTS. sick. I'm sure it can always produce more than the demand. Bare in mind, it could have more than 2 arms. Nuts.
At Last, a $20,000 cup of coffee - New York Times.
This is not the espresso machine we always see. My first impression was, BONG. Very curious about how it works, I looked all over the place to see what's the magic behind this coffee machine. Looks pretty old school though. It was invented in the 18hundreds but a japanese coffee company decided to redo this history piece into the age of brewed coffee. I heard there's a coffee place around pj that does this. I can't wait to get there and have a mug. I'm a caffeine junkie.
Some Chinese New Year Action
I'll let the pictures do the talking this time. After Lady Gaga's not so witty smiling theory, we still lost everything to Darren. Haha. At first we mentioned that the winners should use the money for charity but later on the funds were contributed to Zouk when we decided to let them do the charity for us instead.
After this was..... 'HUAT AH!!!!! I WANT ANG MOHHHH!!' super fkin hilarious
Hypertune Yummy Intake Manifold
Yes, the brand name is Hypertune and its an Australian Product. Nothing to do with our local automotive magazine. Many of these gems left undiscovered in the land of kangaroos. I love their motto - People who use our products have fast cars. LOL! sick. Anyway, the product we're featuring today is the SR20 Intake Plenum / Manifold / Throttle Body / Fuel Rail by Hypertune. YUM? Some of you might recognize that this SR20det is not sitting on a Silvia. its here.
FYI, engine designers for RB20det and RB25det should be shot dead for their mistake in having the intake manifold to go across over the top of the engine to visit the exhaust line. Made the intercooler look stupid. Haha. What's the point of cooling the air and then pass it back to be heated up by the exhaust manifold? for RB20 and RB25 users, can check this out.
Government to install CCTV at border petrol stations
Benefits from this campaign
1. More job opportunities. Now we have more fat guys munching local snacks sitting in front of the monitors watching thai/singaporean boys freeloading from our petrol station.
2. Boost in the CCTV industries. If you were thinking about starting your CCTV security company now and going to tender for this project? I'm sorry you're kinda running late.
3. You'll have a lower chance of getting robbed if you are standing at the petrol pump. ONLY at the pump.
4. Now we're sure our government funds are going to where its supposed to.
What happened to installing CCTVs around town to reduce crime rates?
HOME MADE V8
With the whole Chinese New Year spirit going on, everything is home made, butter cookies, prawn crackers, pineapple tarts etc. and one of our local drifters had caught the flu and decided to go HOME MADE with his R32. Swapping a V8 ENGINE AT HOME. very interesting.
p.s. I love your garage man. Its making me WET.
Co-Rolla Rolla Rolla Eh EH..
I've been noticing this Corolla for quite some time. First thing that caught my eye was the height and the beautiful bodywork. The KE70 was never a rare car and nobody ever bothers to do it up. Many of them have a Silvia in mind and wants to start drifting and then they buy the KE. That's why they were never serious about it. A friend once said, 'Drifting is a spectator sport. That's why your machine has to be presentable.' So many of the KE owners have forgotten about the fact that they should not use can spray to paint their WHOLE car. I've seen some of the worst conditions where they were left to rust and words were scribbled on the door with spray paint. Hello? Please respect your ride before you actually go into the ring? Some people just don't understand that they will make the whole drift scene into another REMPIT act. It's such a beautiful sport and it should remain that way. Sometimes its shameful to bring a friend to watch drifting where there's a sea of rusted Corollas in the track. People tend to ask me, 'So this is drifting?' I smell the disappointment from the smoke of the rubber.
Rosso, here on the other side of the story had spent tons of effort on this beauty and I am starting to like the corolla again. If you're not looking forward to too much power and a low maintenance drift car. This is the best car to start drifting with. So there's a saying, If you can drift a KE70, you can drift anything at all. I myself am considering to get one after my personal financial crisis comes to an end. :p It's REALLY bad. Believe me.
This Corolla will remind us that the look of the car is as important. You did us proud.

CAR FEATURE : CONRAD GRUNEWALD'S DRIFT SPEC CAMARO

Saudi Arabia Refuses Pakistani Diplomat Over Vulgar Name Translation
In an unfortunate result of translation, Pakistani diplomat Akbar Zeb will not become the next Pakistani ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Zeb’s credentials seem in order: He is the former ambassador to the United States, India and South Africa. He held the post of High Commissioner Designate of Pakistan to Canada and is the former director general of Pakistan's Foreign Ministry.
But despite Mr. Zeb’s impressive career, the 55-year-old diplomat’s name proved to be the immovable hurdle. When translated into Arabic, Akbar Zeb means “Biggest Dick.” In a region that stresses modesty, particularly in public, this could not stand.
Akbar is a customary Muslim name for Arabic and non-Arabic speakers alike. The same cannot be said for Zeb. The name is common in Urdu, however in Arabic it is merely a slang reference to the male reproductive organ.
In hopes of minimizing the use of the word in public, Saudi Arabia has refused to accredit Mr. Zeb for the position.
According to the Arab Times, this is the third instance in which an Arabic-speaking country has refused Mr. Zeb’s ambassadorship. The United Arab Emirates rejected the diplomat first, followed by Bahrain, and now Saudi Arabia has added its name to the list.
“It's hard to imagine that someone's name would be a problem, especially on this level, but I understand why the governments reacted this way,” Saudi cultural critic Ahmed Al-Omran told The Media Line. “It crosses a cultural red line so I don't think the media would dare to publish a name like this. So every time he would be in the media they would have to face the name issue and it would make it difficult to work with him. That would just be an embarrassment for Pakistan.”
Don't Forget Its also Valentine's Day.
Along with Chinese New Year, Its also Valentines Day. So put your drift cars away for one day. Your other half is just asking for One day. Clean up your tools today and put them back into them tool boxes. If you think your car is moaning your name, put it up on jackstands. LOL! I'm sure your other half will appreciate the fact that you try not to talk about your car for just ONE day. hahaha! Happy Valentine's Day to ya'll love birds!
Heidi Montag - The Surviving Decepticon
Saw how she transformed? what's up with giving up originality for so much plastic? perfect is too strong a word to use to describe somebody I reckon. If you come to think of it, these girls are like modifying themselves to look like someone else. imagine when they decay after death, all thats left in the coffin are bits and pieces of plastic and silicon pads. How awful is that? So, getting your fix?
R32 FLUSH!
Just for you tommyboy.. :p can't wait to see the black version of this sitting on a set of TE37s. 
Zee First 370Z that made it to driftneyland

However, the rear offset can be more ill
Spark Plug Covers
Before this appear before my eyes, I always thought that the carbon fibre spark plug covers were the best thing that can happen to your rockers. This 240z owner took engine design to the next level! absolutely mental. A cartoonish RB25!
this is a follow up from my previous blog post : http://driftneyland.blogspot.com/2009/12/car-feature-240z-rb25det.html
In the end, it was the blackberry
After several long debates, a couple of death threats and a few friendships put to the challenge, I had to buy the blackberry. It came in last friday and some shit happened over last weekend so this blog post came a little late.
I had to say, it came along with some surprises and some disappointments. The GPS for instance, its like the lame old google map. Garmin came out with a GPS application for the blackberry but only available for europe and the states. And, it's not map installable. They made a application for every country. WHAT? The push mail function, microsoft office, msn messenger, Blackberry messenger is the BOMB. In contrast, trying to type while driving is a pain in the ass. It was not properly designed for the asian market. They should revise it. :p
If you think GPS is not the most important feature in a phone, get the blackberry. :D
drift fanatics: Im sorry I didnt buy the corolla. YET
Slurps, excuse me. I mean Kenji's S15
*Picture took without permission but the readers deserves to see this beauty*

Happy Chinese New Year from Namewee
HAHAHAHAH! this guy is hilarious. At the same time, a wasted talent.

Archeologist unearthed an 8000 year old corpse at Kenyir Lake
'Archeologist have stumbled upon human skeletal remans believed to be from the Mesolithic Age in the Bewah Cave in the Kenyir Lake area, according to a university professor.
The remains, believed to be those of a youth are estimated to be between 8000 and 11000 years old, said Prof Datuk Dr Nik Hassan Shuhaimi Nik Abdul Rahman, deputy director of the Institute of the Malay World and Civilisation (ATMA) of University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).' - The Star
Rotary Thursday, The FD3S
The Efini Rx7, FD3S had always been one of my favourite cars. If one had never heard of the FD, and been shown an FD today, they would never know its a car from 1992. I reckon this is one of the best piece mazda production car design ever. Its the sexy curves and the way its born slammed that made it stand out from the rest. To many, the rotary engine is the major turn off for the RX7. To some, thats why its special. I admit that maintaining the rotary engine is a pain but the thrill you get from it is absolutely different. Engine brake does not happen on them rotaries and that one of the main potential of the Wankels. Just get the rotary venom injected and plan your budget for one. :D
sexy isn't she?
