Fiat Coupe Merdeka Run 2011 - pix

Decided to make use of the long break by organising a run to Ulu Yam with some other Coupe owners. Had to get up at a God forsaken hour (4am!!!) but it was worthwhile.

Great fun. Plenty of camaraderie & loads of very very nice cars . . .

Pictures of you

Brought home the office DSLR camera & the pix above was one of me better results.

Quite pleased with this actually. So much so me thinks me might just invest in one.

Ahhh, this mid-age malarkey is getting to be quite expensive . . .

Football & Pregnancy

Women keep telling us we don't know wot its like to be pregnant.

Well, me begs to differ.

Every year, fer as long as me can remember, many men folk suffer from sleepless nites, nausea, sweaty palms, anxiety, nervous fits, wild mood swings, euphoric highs followed by severe depressions.

Yup folks, its the nine months that make up footie season!

Calling all Kopites!

And so it begins. The palpitations, the sweaty palms, the nervous anticipation & the huge expectation that comes with the start of every new season.

So all ye Kopites reading this, ye is invited to come sink a few cold ones, make some noise & wear yer Kopite colours on yer sleeve @ The Bank, Plaza Kelana Jaya.

YNWA!!!

Music Collection - hobby of a bygone era?

The Flea market @ Amcorp Mall.

Despite increasing prices of collectible vinyl & Cds, me still feels its a great place to find affordable music.

Just last Sunday me managed to find a CD copy of Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic. Remastered edition no less fer just RM25. Also found Mahavishnu Ochestra's Birds of Fire LP fer RM35.

Bargain me thinks.

How come me don't see very many youngsters there browsing fer sounds? has shopping fer music become an old codger's hobby?

Dream Gal of Yesteryear . . .

Couldn't log on to me blog fer a few days. Dunno wot the problem was but to make up fer the sudden disappearance of Fer Fook's Sake, please allow me to brighten up yer day with a few nice shots.

Came across these when me was searching fer Whitesnake vids in anticipation of their upcoming KL gig (30 Oct 2011, Stadim Negara). Am sure many of ye remembers the vixen that was in the bands' vids circa 1987.

The one & only Miss Tawny Kitaen.


Ye can see why she represented the teenage (& most likely adult) fantasy woman.


These were taken when she was a 19-year-old model.


Alas, me will not spoil yer day with more recent pix of Miss Kitaen. No one stops ravages of time . . .

The Times They Are A'Changing

Have always complained loudly about certain friends who cannae be bothered to register as a voter. Well, met one of them over the weekend & this time there was nay brushing aside the issues.

If anyone doubted the effectiveness of Bersih in waking up the masses, me friend is the perfect example. Self-made, young & successful, he was the archetypal apathetic urbanite.

But this time even he was disgusted by the bias & slant of the local media. He now sees BN & its leadership fer wot it is . . .

C'mon people, we can make a change. Ye don't need to march in the streets, be a radical blogger or join a political party. All ye need to do is visit yer local post office to be part of the your country's future.

In Awe of Madam Liberty

“Why do we have to feel so scared in our own home land . . . and by own countrymen,” says Madam Ooi dubbed "Lady Liberty of Malaysia".

Well said.

Unlike some people me knows who still buy BN's propaganda, is this the pix of a "terrorist / Indian thug / troublemaker" ?

Why Italian car owners are a breed apart . . .

Some time ago, a thread appeared on Italia Auto Malaysia website & apparently, an unfortunate Alfa owner had his Bella stolen.

Car was later found abandoned & stripped of vital parts & ICE.

The bangkai of said Alfa was towed to Subang Jaya police station & left out in front.

Some of the members were wondering whether the car could be bought or taken away to be used for spare parts.

They enquired & were told that it was being held as evidence in a theft case. Car has been written off by insurance company.

So whilst waiting fer the case to go to court, one of the IA members took great pity on seeing such a magnificent car's interior fade due to a broken window.

This is wot he did . . .



Respect la this dude . . .

Chuffed to bits!

Yup, this humble scribe managed to do a extra-short interview with Barney Greenway of Napalm Death after their brilliant gig on Monday nite at 1Cafe, Kuala Lumpur.
