Volkswagen Beetle At It's Finest

I was invited to meet Patrick who was a real fanatic and owner of two very well kept and fully restored Volkswagen Beetle.




Presenting, Miko ...

Miko is a bug manufactured in 1965; just got a new coat of 'classic-fade-looking' paint to compliment the era that it was from.





Well restored interior with materials imported all the way from Germany





Spanking 'new' looking steering, knobs and speedometer


The rare EMPI GTV emblem





This pre-1970 model has the fuel lid located in the front luggage compartment itself.






Original HELLA lights to illuminate the rear number plates
Note the tiny VW logo to determine its authenticity.






Check out the unique air-cooled engine bay that is being fully restored with performance cams and pistons which made this bug fast..and I mean..really FAST!
A Webber twin-carb is making its way into this engine bay really soon!
Also note the custom made aluminium plate to 'enhance' the effectiveness of the firewall as well to also further 'support' the original firewall in place.




BRM sport rims; Made in England. These wheels are the ones manufactured back in the era where its made of magnesium instead of the current alloy ones.





Volkswagen emblem uniquely positioned on top of the rear wheel arch - only for Canadian market.


==========================================================
Next up, meet Woggie, Patrick's daily ride for work and leisure.

A 1970 bug restored beautifully as well; equipped with an above average audio system with custom made panels for front component speaker system.


Note the very shiny hub caps.


Although a bit slow compared to Miko (the blue bug), Woggy takes Patrick from Nilai to Penang in a short 3.5 hrs!

Do drop Patrick an email at: patvw69@yahoo.com for some info sharing among bug lovers.

Next up, a visit into the home museum of a true Volkswagen fanatic!

Valentine's Day at City Harvest KL

It was Love is in the air weekend service at CHCKL



Valentine Weekend Invitations





This is the day where bouquets of flowers and soft toys reign the malls and conquer the hearts of girls all over.






Invited some new friends and they found this to be the coolest church they've ever seen as Rev.Kevin Loo shared some 'interesting insights' about LOVE and how men are like rubber bands while women are like waves.


After service crowd at the Cafe


A pic wit my pastor and the new friends



Here's the coolest part, these creative dudes decide to do an ad-hoc gig to entertain the crowd at the Cafe after the service.

Asia Conference in Pro Audio

The inaugural Asia Conference held last November at Singapore Expo that was attended by over a 100,000 delegates from 68 countries also drew the attention of techies from ProAudio-Central; writing a short review on the digital console, amplifiers and loudspeakers used for the event which was really massive.


Featured article in the latest Winter 2009 Asia Worship Audio Magazine

Among stuff that was 'on-show' was the Midas XL8, 12 EV X-Subs and a hosts of SHURE mics.

Who can ever forget the nightly crowd of over 20,000 and the way we got 'conned' into the overflow halls!! *laughs*

Kemalangan Yang Paling Ngeri

*sourced from a forwarded email*

Pagi itu pagi minggu. Cuaca cukup sejuk sehingga mencapai takat suhu beku. Sebab itu saya tidak mandi pagi sebab air kolam jadi air batu dan air paip tidak mahu keluar sebab beku di dalam batang paip. Pagi itu saya bersarapan dengan keluarga di dalam unggun api kerana tidak tahan sejuk. Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya menemaninya ke pasar. Tetapi saya tidak mahu.

Selepas emak menikam perut saya berkali-kali dengan garfu barulah saya bersetuju untuk mengikutnya. Kami berjalan sejauh 120 kilometer kerana pasar itu letaknya 128 kilometer dari rumah. Lagi 8 kilometer nak sampai pasar saya ternampak sebuah lori kontena meluru dengan laju dari arah belakang.

Dia melanggar emak saya. Emak saya tercampak ke dalam gaung. Dia menjerit “Adoi!”. Lepas itu emak saya naik semula dan mengejar lori tersebut. Saya pun turut berlari di belakang emak saya kerana takut emak saya melanggar lori itu pula. Pemandu lori itu nampak kami mengejarnya. Dia pun memecut lebih laju iaitu sama dengan kelajuan cahaya. Kami pula terpaksa mengejar dengan lebih laju iaitu sama dengan dua kali ganda kelajuan cahaya. Emak saya dapat menerajang tayar depan lori itu. Lori itu terbabas dan melanggar pembahagi jalan lalu bertembung dengan sebuah feri. Feri itu terbelah dua.

Penumpang feri itu yang seramai 100 orang semuanya mati. Pemandu feri itu sangat marah. Dia pun bertukar menjadi Ultraman dan memfire pemandu lori. Pemandu lori menekan butang khas di dalam lori dia..lori itu bertukar menjadi robot Transformer. Mereka bergaduh di udara. Emak saya tidak puas hati. Dia! pun terus menyewa sebuah helikopter di Genting Highlands dan terus ke tempat kemalangan. Dia melanggar pemandu feri yang telah bertukar menjadi Ultraman itu.

Pemandu feri itu terkejut dan terus bertukar menjadi pemandu feri semula lalu terhempas ke jalanraya. Pemandu feri itu pecah. Pemandu lori sangat takut melihat kejadian itu. Dia meminta maaf dari emak saya. Dia menghulurkan tangan ingin bersalam. Tetapi emak saya masih marah. Dia menyendengkan helikopternya dan mengerat tangan pemandu lori itu dengan kipas helikopter. Pemandu lori itu menjerit “Adoi..!” dan jatuh ke bumi. Emak saya menghantar helikopter itu ke Genting Highlands. Bila dia balik ke tempat kejadian, dia terus memukul pemandu lori itu dengan beg tangannya sambil memarahi pemandu lori itu di dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Pemandu lori itu tidak dapat menjawab sebab emak saya cakap orang putih. Lalu pemandu lori itu mati. Tidak lama kemudian kereta polis pun sampai. Dia membuat lapuran ke ibu pejabatnya tentang kemalangan ngeri itu. Semua anggota polis di pejabat polis itu terperanjat lalu mati. Orang ramai mengerumuni tempat kejadian kerana ingin mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi. Polis yang bertugas cuba menyuraikan orang ramai lalu dia menjerit menggunakan pembesar suara. Orang ramai terperanjat dan semuanya mati.

Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya ke pasar untuk mengelak lebih ramai lagi yang akan mati. Di pasar, emak saya menceritakan kejadian itu kepada penjual daging. Penjual daging dan peniaga-peniaga berhampiran yang mendengar cerita itu semuanya terkejut dan mati. Saya dan emak saya terus berlari balik ke rumah. Kerana terlalu penat sebaik saja sampai di rumah kami pun mati. Itulah kemalangan yang paling ngeri yang pernah saya lihat sebelum saya mati.
