Car AirCon servicing myth...

A reliable AirCon mechanic told me that car Aircon does no need to service
(compressor oil flush or whatever) if its working fine...

If it's ain't broken, don't fix it.

An good example he quote was "do you service your fridger at home?"
Apparently no, we don't.

The same goes for car Aircon.

Interesting...


A good essay is like a mini skirt
Long enough to cover the subject material but
short enough to keep things interesting.

Moment Of Surrender- U2

I tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire until the fire played with me
The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be in the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It's not if I believe in love
But if love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released form control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down 'til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

Toyota Corolla Altis 9th

The Corolla E120 is the ninth generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate.

The ninth-generation Corolla (NZE120/ZZE120) first appeared in November 2000 (Japan) with edgier styling and a longer 2600 mm (102.4 in) wheelbase. It is built on a shortened Toyota Vista platform—the Vista being a mid-sized, rather than compact car. From being marketed as a premium compact sedan, to an affordable hatchback, the 9th-generation Corolla was designed as a 'Global' automobile to suit different market needs. This was one of Toyota’s most versatile and most popular models ever produced.

The Corolla has also spawned another multi-purpose vehicle, the Matrix (E130), sold in Canada, Mexico and the United States, which forms the basis of the Pontiac Vibe, which was in turn sold in Japan as the Toyota Voltz.

The E120 series was replaced by the E140 or E150 series in late 2006 or early 2007 but the E120 continues to be made in China.[1]

The E120 Corolla won the What Car? magazine's "Car of the Year" award for 2002.

An upmarket version of the ninth-generation Corolla, dubbed the Corolla Altis, is manufactured in Thailand and Philippines and the sold across Southeast Asia and South Asia (including Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, India and Thailand). It debuted in late 2001 as model year 2002 as a bigger and more luxurious variant of the Japanese Corolla, featuring unique interior and exterior panels that separates it from the basic Corolla. The Corolla Altis is targeted at consumers who prefer more comfort than the current Corolla but do not wish to buy the more luxurious Camry. Two versions of engine are available, the 81 kW (110 bhp) 1.6 3ZZ-FE engine and the 100 kW (136 bhp) 1.8 1ZZ-FE engine, both with VVT-i technology.

In 2004, the Corolla Altis received its first facelift. Changes include a new grille design, a sleeker front bumper, redesigned fog lamps, new LED tail lights, different alloy wheels and minor interior updates (auto climate control became a standard feature in lower end variants). Two years later, to keep up with much newer competitors, the Corolla Altis received its second facelift. Exterior changes include another redesigned grille, redesigned chrome rear license plate ornament, a new third LED brake light, and a new steering wheel audio switch. A new aerokit and new wing mirrors with signal indicators (similar to the 2007 Camry) is available as an optional package in Malaysia.

A low end variant of the Corolla Altis is also branded as the Toyota Limo, featuring lower spec and intended for taxi business in Thailand. It is not to be confused with the low end taxi version of the Toyota Vios which is also called Toyota Limo in Indonesia.

In Singapore, Toyota's exclusive authorised dealer Borneo Motors originally sold the Japanese version of the Corolla, but later replaced it with the Corolla Altis.

In terms of product lifespan ( production lasted for seven years ) and number of units sold, the Corolla Altis easily outlived its Corolla predecessors, making it currently the most popular Corolla variant/generation in Southeast Asia.

伍佰 - 树枝孤鸟 live



伍佰 - 樹枝孤鳥作詞:伍佰 作曲:伍佰
愛人妳是在佗位 無留著批信 無留半個字
啊~~愛人無見妳的面 親像風在透 親像針在偎

為何 堂堂男兒 無路用 心肝全碎 太倔強
欺騙著我(戲弄著我)著呢熊 癡情花啊(憨憨轉啊)

愛人妳是去佗位 無代念我情 無代念我意
啊~~愛人想妳的香味 望妳快回頭 轉來阮身邊

愛人妳哪這酷刑 無采我在撞 心情隴未清
啊~~我無法度瘋瘋活下去 無妳我會空 無妳我會死

樹枝孤鳥 偷偷在哭

我哪會安呢生
