Window Replaced… Choice Made.. More Travel!

I replaced my window on Monday afternoon, it took quite a while as there was a small but deep dent where they had used something to rip the window out and smash the corner and it was raining..

The total cost was RM880, a nice number...but shit almost 1k to replace the fscking window!

That's one of the disadvantages of having a 3 door car, the rear windows are thick and curved and cost a small fortune..

Have to replace my camera now too, I've decided I'll get the D200, it's a solid camera and it should last me a good 2-3 years so I think it's worth a bit of extra investment.

Nikon D200

*Sigh*

Imagine if everyone from the last post who commented gave me RM10, I'd have more than enough already :D

I'm still a bit depressed, but still it's only material and everything can be replaced/fixed. No one was hurt and nothing intagible was lost.

But yah if anyone wants to make donations to my new camera fund feel free!

Let's all learn the lesson anyway, lot's of reports have been made about thefts and car break-ins in the SS2 area, so be very wary, people's cars have been broken into just for a nasi lemak in a black bag as someone thought it was valuable..Cameras and laptops have been stolen in seconds outside ATM machines and at petrol stations whilst people paid.

Criminals are desperate and ruthless, please don't give them a chance like I did as they will take it.

I'll be off to Philippines AGAIN on Monday for about a week I think, not sure if I'll get to do anything interesting this time :)

Will charge the old powershot A70 and get him rolling!

The Passing of a Friend - Andrew Cheng Jing Liang

It's a sad occasion when a friend passes away.

Cheng was a good guy, a diving buddy of mine and a fellow fan of the Satria GTi, a members of the Malaysian Satria GTi club.

Obituary

He was a passionate diver and a passionate driver, he was well liked by all and never had a bad word to say about anyone.

I enjoyed my time diving with him and always enjoyed his company.

Cheng took an unfortunate fall on a project site (he was a civil engineer), from the second story of an unfinished house into the empty swimming pool. He hit his head and was rushed to hospital where he survived the operation and was classified as stable. He lived on bravely for 12 days but the injuries were to severe and his brain wasn't functioning properly, so his body couldn't generate the required anti-bodies. This led to him sadly passing away on May 31st.

I have some pictures of us together diving, but they are on my home PC, I will post them later in his memory.

May you rest in peace my friend Cheng, we are thinking of you.
