World's Fastest Lamborghini
With top speeds of 238mph and a quarter mile timed at sub-10, this Underground Racing tuned Lambo claimed to be the world's fastest Lambo. This twin turboed BEAST is believed to have more than a thousand pony power. Scary?

Most Extreme M3 E92 Yet!
When it's orange, you know it's extreme. Here's a video of the latest M3 developed by the sacred M-plant at BMW. It's simply called the BMW M3 GTS. From the oversized GT-wing, to the alcantara covered carbon-fibre seats, and not to mention the roll cage... gosh, this has gotta be some car! Check out the vid

The Perfect Drift
check out this video showing M.Kawabata drifting. An ordinary drift would demonstrate how a driver would go sideways. But this is no ordinary drift as you can see in the video, he enters the corner with the rear first and continue to keep his momentum till he exits the corner.
one word...
S-I-C-K!

Pretty Girl's Dilemma
A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here:
I'm 25 this year.
I'm very pretty, have style and good taste.
I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.
You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York.
My requirement is not high:
Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary?
Are you all married?
I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?
Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden, $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out?
(Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking?
I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)
Ms. Pretty
Awesome reply:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest.
Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours.
Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you.
The answer is very simple, so let me explain.
Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money":
Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square.
However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason.
The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year.
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset.
It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation.
If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position".
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted.
It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you.
I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy.
And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me...

RX-78 SD Came Out To Play
Since I had no plans this morning, I decided to bring one of my Gunplas out for a photo shoot. When I picked RX-78NT-1 Alex SD, he was damn excited.
Once we reached out destination, he immediately climbed up a tree. Never knew he was a tree climber.
This tough guy even dared to point his BOWA·Norfolk XBR-L Type-3 beam rifle at me... tsk tsk tsk.
After a while, he decided to come down and play on the ground.
And since there were so many flowers on the ground, he then told me he wanted to lie down on the bed of dunno-what-flowers. I obligingly followed him... To my surprise, RX-78NT-1 has a weird fetish, he likes to put a flower between his stumpy legs when he is resting.
Cute?
Ok, enough of fooling around, it's time to get back to business. He pulled out the flower and decided to use it as his prop for his photoshoot.
Handsome?
With a flower in one hand, and a sword in another, he whispered to me that he is ready to go see his sweetheart and propose to her. With a heavy heart, I let him go... Hoping that one day, he will come back to me with his partner and his little ones. All the best RX-78NT-1 Alex!
The end.
p/s Thanks to allenang.com for helping out during the shoot. :)

Continued from Part 2
Miniature periuk kera
Someone fell in

That's all from my trip to Borneo Highlands. I not only got lots of pics from this trip but also two sunburnt shoulders.

Imagination
Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the ability of forming mental images, sensations and concepts, in a moment when they are not perceived through sight, hearing or other senses. (definition from Wikipedia)
So what do you see when you look at this photo?

Borneo Highlands - Part 1
Have I been neglecting my blog lately... I admit. I can come out with one thousand and one excuse but fck it.
When someone mention the word "Highlands", what is the first thing that pops into your head? Genting Highlands, Cameron Highlands...yadda yadda. Being a true Sarawakian, I am proud to tell the world that we too have a nice highlands... and it's the Borneo Highlands. Some might wonder, where on earth is this Borneo Highlands.
Courtesy of Google Map
It's about 40 mins drive from Kuching City Center. Road condition to the foot of the highlands, which is also the entrance to the highlands is good. And if you are wondering how the entrance of the highlands looks like just in case you missed it, here it is...
Entrance
At this checkpoint, you will need to fork out RM65 (RM50 for entrance fee + RM15 for highlands tour). And upon getting your tickets, you'll need to wait for a specially modded "tour truck" to get you up there.
There are flowers around the entrance to encourage you to start snapping photos.
The whole journey from entrance down here to the entrance up there will take about 20 minutes. But expect some crooked and winding roads, and at some point of the roads, you will start to wonder if the fully loaded truck will even make the 40° climb in 1st gear. But of course, we made it in one piece. We alighted from the big truck and hopped onto a smaller tour truck to start our highlands tour.
Our first stop was to the viewpoint for Malaysia-Indonesia border.
SWK = Sarawak
IND = Indonesia
See the marker on the ground? This is actually one of the many markers to indicate the border of Sarawak and Kalimantan, Indonesia. One second you can say "Hey, I am in Sarawak!" then next second "I am in Indonesia (without a passport... hahaha)"
We were pleasantly greeted by sakuras (there's another name which Bernard told me but I just can't seem to recall)
These sakuras actually come from the same family as the more famous ones found in the Land of the Rising Sun. Behind the Sakura tree is Kalimantan.
I couldn't have asked for a better weather that day (maybe the Sun could be kinder la :P) and the view was fantastic.
See... even the trees here look un-Malaysia.
That's all for Part 1. Stay tuned for more flower shots in Part 2!
Happy Merdeka to all Malaysians!
