Did A 140

Only two out of five departments are open today.

By the way, I tried the new KL-Putrajaya highway today.

Some of the prominent points I gathered during the drive was:

• It will be 10km before I even entered the highway.
• Max speed at first will be 60kph, and then 90kph.
• There's a rest area almost immediately, which is the aptly named Seri Kembangan R&R.
• The first exit will be Bukit Jalil, and the first landmark I see there was Sports Complex, and then Endah Parade.

Will try it again on my way back.

By the way, I ended up doing 48km, almost 6km more than my usual one-way mileage. So I guess, back to taking the bus then...

Refreshment Drive

After more than a month's wait, I finally gave up and picked up my Mini on Monday.

The mechanic's too busy, so I might as well do the repairs somewhere else. He did repair, of all things, the brakes, which are spongy.

Pending stuffs to repair, are fan belt replacement, clutch release bearing replacement, ball joint repairs, and some more stuffs of smaller importance.

I already felt like giving my car a refresher drive for a few days.

Afterwards, I will get back to using bus.

Missing That Familiar Sight

The buses are way unreliable.

I should have just gone to Putrajaya Central, instead of waiting for them at JPM.

The first RapidKL bus (the E5) finally arrived at 7.35am, 55 minutes later.

Tomorrow I'll just board either the E1 or the U42 bus, or the Metrobus.

All these made me think of fitting STELLAR with a lightweight NGV kit. So I can just drive daily without worry.

Missing him so much...

Wish List

I seem to have an endless wish list.

But I guess I try to list most of them.

For STELLAR the Mini, I wish he have a(n)

• Enkei Racing Wheel (he didn't have a spare tyre yet)
  
• Close Ratio Gear Kit
• Adjustable Camshaft Timing Set
• Race Cylinder Head
• Mini Minus Chassis
  
• RC40 Exhaust
• K&N Air Filter
  
• Oil Filter Opener
  
• Torque Wrench

For Nik (my Nikon D40), I wish he have a:

• 1:1 Macro Lens (must be a Nikkor AF-S)
  
• Very Long Telephoto Zoom (a Nikkor is a miracle, but an Opteka's fine)

For myself, I wish I have a:

• MP4 Player
• Nokia Communicator (any one of them)
  
• Nikon FM2
• House (yes, the big thing people call home)
• year 2000 up Peugeot 406 or year 2004 below Kia Optima

I counted a figure of 10k for STELLAR alone. So you can imagine if I can just call it a wish.

One thing at a time will do.
