Crows are evil?

Here's an email from my bf at work today. (in verbatim)

Hey dear.

Do you think crows are evil? I went to the carpark just now to get something from my X-T. Upon reaching it, a crow perched on a sprinkler pipe above my baby was making lotsa noise. I shooed it away - please note it flew away reluctantly.

Looking at the spot directly below where the cretin was standing on, was a pile of doo doo - still wet and pasty - like your sister's coloring agent. I wiped it off with tissue papers. After finishing this undesirable task, I spotted another one on the either side - this one is a bit dry already. I wipe this away too. FYI, these doo doos landed on the left and right headlamps - if they were having target practices, I'd give them full marks.

Then I got my stuff. Before locking to leave, the lotsa noise cretin was making lotsa noise again, this time somewhere behind. I looked at it, and it was looking back at me. I have a feeling the noise it's making is attracting other members of his/her kind. Therefore, I moved my car to another spot.

My conclusion: crows are definitely evil.

~X-Trail~

Beelibaala: "Haha... oui burung! (bird), didn't your mamma ever warn you guys never to mess with my baby's baby?"

A story about my handsome Aveo and a F1 driver wannabe

*BANG* *Crash*.... That's all I heard in a split of a second at 17:25hrs on the 6.2.07.

As I rushed out of my office... I saw a blue Civic overturned lying next to my handsome blue Aveo. Oh my *tut....tuttttttttttttttttt...tut* there's a dent on my car. YES! My darling two months old Aveo for crying out loud! You say lar...heartache, sim-tiah, sakit hati or not??? !!! You must be wondering how did that happen. This Civic drove too fast, lost controlled, made a drift, and banged my Aveo and overturned!!

Argh.....Eh "Encik Kereta Terbalik", wanna drive fast fast, you don't drive around the light industrial area ok? First, you gotta get yourself a sporty car and next, you gotta drive at the SEPANG CIRCUIT....!!!" geramnya aku! Ahem...did I screw him? Nope, I did not....but that's what I was thinking of blabbing at that very moment....duh!

What happen after that was a long-g-g-g story and I've repeated my story over the MSN, telephone and all communication medias far too many times and I think my cheek looks abit slimmer now after talking too much for the past 2 days.

To cut the long story short, the adjuster arrived the very next day and now, repair work on my Aveo is in progress.


The Civic, driver escaped with only minor injuries...


My darling Aveo, driver's not in the car during the crash but suffering from serious heartache...

Goodbye my faithful "Wira"



As the saying goes..."old one never go, new one never come".... (no pun intended!)






Took the car for a last quick wash. Can't do it on my own because the new owner is coming to collect it in a couple of hours time..








Some photos for keepsake..

Daddy's Toys

Last time hor, you need a few mode of transport to win over a gal's heart..
My dad uses these.....



The red mini to go to the park (mana ada shopping malls and cineplex last time...duh!). The old black bicycle to send love letters, flowers and homemade Nyonya delicacies made by the "future mom-in-law".
The motorcycle.. just to get ...."closer"? Kekeke...

After a year and a half....they made it to the aisles..



.......................



Beelibaala was born two years later and he changed to a Datsun 120Y.. But because I was born a very active kid....hah! and I am still "very" NOW :p, he removed the front passenger seat just to fit in a baby playpen that looks like a cage, throw in my favourite toys just to keep me sitting still..



.......................


SIX years later (Mmm...what took them so long eh?)... Beelibaala's sista was born. Dad was driving a Toyota LE 1.3. No more baby playpen in the car NOT because sista's less active but because baby car seat was invented!!!






.......................



Dad needed a so-called tougher car because he started his new business in his early 40s and needed a 4wd.He bought himself a Kembara. Proudly made in Bolehland. Full of "additional features" not listed in the brochure, wonderful "music" coming out of no where...especially when you're driving along the highway...


I saw him scouting for his next car in less than a year..

.......................




The following year...He took an Unser. The petrol sucking monster


NEXT!!
.......................



His next darling.... A Mitsubishi Storm ...LOOKS can be deceiving.




SOLD!!!


.......................

Vroom....Vroom...


Finally, dad bought himself a little present for Christmas
"Daddy, mommy....Repeat after me...it's pronounced as "High-Lux" not "Hai Lat!"

Mr "Shortcut" dare to be different and took the plunge

Oh my goodness, my man blogs!
Check this out....

X-Trail vs. 2 feet plus flash flood
"Was travelling home via Jln. Kuchai Lama yesterday evening and it was raining heavily. The storm drain in front of the Ajinomoto factory burst its bank and water level came up to 2 feet plus. Cars in front of me started making U-turns. I decided to brave it and plough through this mini wall of water. Hence, shifted to 1st gear and went in. Steered away from the road shoulder and at the same time monitored the tachometer - being careful to keep RPM above 1500 as water level is definately above the exhaust outlet. Came out successfully, went into NPE and headed home.

Though no problems crossing flooded areas, I do not recommend it at all. I spent a good half-hour cleaning the engine compartment after this 'adventure' - the engine compartment was full of mud, twigs, leaves, and it's possible I removed a dead (and decomposed) rat that got stuck in front of the radiator (the thing was too soggy to identify).Next time, I'm going to take the U-turn just like everybody else."

Beelibaala says:
What can I say? Just couldn't believe the things you dare to tryout with your new wife! tsk tsk tsk

I am wondering when will my "Adventure seeking" dearie strikes again...

**I remembered you were discussing about driving up Cameron Highlands via the muddy terrain with my dad...I wonder if he still wanna do that when he changes his 4wd?! kekeke

How did Ah Bee banged a Japanese guy on a happy sunny Monday morning?

It was a bright Monday morning, Ah Bee dressed her best to work that morning. Warm up the car engine and started my journey to work 45 mins earlier that day..

As I was driving along a "ONE WAY STREET" heading towards KL out of my housing area singing along on the radio to my favourite song "Black horse & a cherry tree..", suddenly one Proton Perdana driving very fast from behind made a supersharp and furious U turn right infront of my car. *****screeechhhhhh...BANG******



Greybox & grey arrows : Ah Bee's car & Ah Bee's direction
Blue box & blue arrows : Japanese guy's car and his direction
Purple arrows showing one way street
Red "star" showing the kissing between grey & blue :p

Ah Bee walked out of the car...check check my front..adoiiiiiiiiiii *(#$%&*()#$^&@! I was so wanted to screw him.......anyway, Ah Bee was being cool and acted rational even if some "beach" took my-no self respect-no self discipline-hopeless lover-type of lady, I gave him a smile since he's going against the traffic.. so? HE'S GONNA PAYYYYY anyway.. why create a drama keke..

I confronted him who turns out to be a Japanese guy... :p


Ah Bee: So why did you go against the traffic? *smile smile and point point on the tar road with all the one way street ARROWS*

Japanese guy: ..... (with a silly smile)

Ah Bee: So how? Do you want to call someone?

*Japanese called and bla bla in Japanese on his cellphone while Ah Bee waits on and trying to figure out what's he blabing*

10 minutes later, two polite Malaysian from his office came to rescue us.

Rescuer #1: Hello, I am Nini, what actually happen?

Ah Bee: well, he was speeding from behind, overtook my car, stopped infront of me in a flash and wanted to make an illegal U TURN towards another ONE WAY STREET on the opposite side of the road..Even if he missed my car, he would have made a head-on collision ahead of him... So dangerious man...

Rescuer #1: Ok, it's our fault... We appologise..the Japanese guy is new here..

Rescuer #2: Sorry..sorry...

Japanese guy: *blur blur*

To cut the long story short, my car was send to their recommended workshop at Jalan Subang 8, USJ on an all expenses paid 1/4 exterior makeover and the workmanship was superb. It took them only 6 hrs to complete the job. My car was washed, vacummed and was sparkling handsome!!!

My car was returned to me on time and I was still able to go salsa practice at 7pm that day.. Thank God I am safe, solving the accident without any arguements, good job done on the repair work (there're already some scratches previously and the lights need changing too Hekekek)..

I believe this is what we call Blessing In Disguise :p

I'm a Mazda RX-8!

You're sporty, yet practical, and you have a style of your own. You like to have fun, and you like to bring friends along for the ride, but when it comes time for everyday chores, you're willing to do your part.
