Nov-Dec 2007 quick recap..

GEEZ! It's been 6 damn long months since I last updated. Blame it on my job.. "work has kidnapped my social life." That's the truth! :P

Anyway, I skipped October coz nothing interesting happened except for one of my friends is engaged on her 25th birthday (how sweet). Congrats! All the best in your future~

November:
3rd- Finally, I bought new rims for my car! It took me a few weeks to decide whether I should choose a set of new 16" cheap Advan Racing RG (imitation) 'gold' rims for RM1500, or new 17" LENSO Samurai (original) hyper-black rims for RM1700. The issue was between a cheaper light imitation rims or a slightly heavier and expensive original rims. After many days and nights of considerations, I've decided to take the LENSO Samurai because..
(1) original rims,
(2) the latest model from LENSO (Oct' 2007), and
(3) I believe no one has bought them yet (at least, in Kedah, where I live)
I tried to get Advan Neova tires but weren't available at that time, so I had to settle for Bridgestone MY01 tires. Basically, I was afraid of having bigger rims could somehow make the tires touch the wheel arches when I turn the car but since the mechanics knocked the wheel arches inwards, the tires didn't make any contact with them even when I tested cornering fast or even going over road bumps afterwards. To summarize the whole agenda, here's what I spent for my new rims..
(1) Rims = RM1700
(2) Tires = RM250 x 4tires = RM1000
(3) Nuts + Center piece + Adjustables + alignments & balancing = +RM800
TOTAL = RM3500



28th- I got the phone that I wanted! The Nokia E61i (Nokia E-Series), new original set bought for RM1700 at the Maxis Centre here in Star Parade, Alor Star. Originally, I was aiming for HTC S630 Cavalier which never came here at all.. but what I got was even better than what I expected. Apart from knowing it's an upgrade from the previous E61 model - the E61i has a camera (at the back), it's no longer a single tone silver colour like the E61 since E61i has a mocha-ish side frame which is apparently more eye-catching in my opinion. I will write an in-depth review on this phone in one dedicated post in the future, mainly on the things you might not know what this phone can actually do. (For an example, do you guys know that this phone can be used as an online Webcam? I used it many times on Yahoo @ Windows Live Messenger already. Totally awesome!)

Two days later, I bought the leather case in Gurney Plaza, Penang, for RM95 (CAPDASE brand) and a very good E61i screen protector for RM20.

December:
8th- Got a new steering wheel for my ride, bought it 2nd-hand from one of the WiraOwnersClub members, Fred, for RM250 (including a boss-kit and the courier charge). Honestly, I would prefer an original MOMO steering but seems that it's so common nowadays, I decided to get something different, hence the look and the brand - Autotecnica (3-spokes, with carbon-fibre look, 2 nitros-oxide-wannabe horn buttons).
