Look wat i did!

Mel was entering Malaysia to service his car, and since its goin to be a whole day wait at the workshop, he ask me to accompany him. His car took longer than we expected. They started work at 10am and finished at 730pm.

Dear asked me to source for an air filter for the QQ, but since there are no china made cars in malaysia, it might be hard to come by. But when we were at a certain workshop, i came across a certain "mushroom" direct air filter. Dunno whether this will fit so i asked the workshop owner can this install on any car. He say can so i decided to try it on my Vios first. Since its japanese and the parts are easier to find.

I bought the filter and a adaptor to link it to the Vio's intake system. Mel and i studied automotive when we were in ITE so we had some idea around a car. But to install a direct air intake is my first time. The workshop owner was kinda surprised when i said i'll install myself, i saved myself more than $100 because of that.

Back in singapore, i went to my home's carpark where the Vios is. Armed with simple tools, i opened the engine bonnet and studied the engine layout. I removed the original air filter, disconnect the airflow sensor and installed the adaptor. Than reinstall everything back and connect the shiney new air filter!

I stood there quite proud of myself. I done it!


But i had slight problem, i'm missing a metal bar to hold the air filter to the car body thus i had to improvise till i found it.


Next one, Dear's QQ! When i find the right size of adaptor for it.

The QQ's new look

Went over to dear's house today for lunch and watched "War Of The Worlds". It was a so so movie by the way, nothin special despite it being a Steven Spielberg film. Anyway this blog is not bout him, after the film i entered dear's room and she was jumping with excitment. I asked her wat's up and she said "carbaby is open today..can we go?"

Carbaby is a shop which sells all sorts of car acessories. Mostly cute ones which dear likes. So we drove her car down and dear was so happy and excited. Looking through the catalog with dazzling eyes. After choosing the one she wants, the shop staff helps us to install and took a pic as well. Apparently dear is the first one to choose this design so the shop owner wants to post it on the Carbaby's website.

Happy CNY!

That time of the year is here again..CNY!!!! Gong xi gong xi gong xi..the time of the year to receive money and eat lots of food to get fat.

Talking bout food..i've ready done 3 yushengs..and 2 steamboat dinners. And many pineapple tarts and bakkwa in between. Every year for my family reunion dinner..we always eat out but this time is different. My sisters are flying off to perth for a holiday so dinner will be at home. And since my mother said she doesn't cook on the first day of CNY..guess who has to do it..

My mother invited my uncles..aunties and cousins..approx 30 pax for the dinner and i'm tasked at hand to handle the food. So we had japanese steamboat - Shabu Shabu. With thinly sliced beef..pork..chicken..abalone and jumbo white prawns served with spicey dippin sauce. Everyone tucked in and ate for almost 4 hours.
