THE ODD OF CAR ENGINEERING !

Automobile invention is great ! From public to private, we are depending on all kinds of vehicles to facilitate our daily needs.

Various people need various transport system. Trucks, Buses, Taxis, Private Cars are the most common vehicles on the road we are dealing with, in our daily life.

But do you notice all above mentioned vehicles have the same odd, ie. The wipers are swung from left to right (Malaysia has a right handed car driver system). While you are driving on the road in rainy days, you will notice the water spots are blocking your sight, where the water spots are drained from left to right movement of the left wiper.


At the point the left wiper swings from left to right end, we can see this. Water spots right in front of a driver sight.


Right after that, the right wiper has to wipe the 'shit' of left wiper.


Wondering why not car is engineered with opposite wiper position, ie. American car fitted with U.K. car wiper position, U.K. car fitted with American car wiper position.


A clear sight for car driver if fitted U.K. Car with American car wiper position and vice versa

KINSTEL (5060) - A BREAK DOWN ?

Technically KINSTEL has dropped below RM 1.20 support line yesterday, looks like a breakdown. If it is a breakdown, it means the serious correction will just be started from this point on.

But we have to consider the fundamental as well before we make any conclusion from the chart reading on a single counter. For us, chart reading is only a guide to gauge where we stand, and how much risk compensated with opportunity at a single point of time.

RM 1.09 is the next support for KINSTEL as per chart shown. Those who have positive views on Perwaja Steel IPO may consider KINSTEL as alternative to Perwaja Steel listing as application is closed.

TOYOTA FAILURE IN MALAYSIA ?

In Malaysia, Toyota has launched Vios Model in Oct 2007. VIOS 1.5S, VIOS 1.5G and VIOS 1.5E are the 3 models first launched. Toyota has then made a second launch of VIOS 1.5J in July 2008. Basically the 5 models have some respective specifications (based on Peninsular Individual Private Price) per below :

VIOS 1.5S (AT)
RM 88,325.00, "Dark Grey Color" Interior, "Dark Grey Color" Fabric Seat, Power Adjustable and Retracable Wing Mirrors, 15" Alloy Sport Rim, 2 Air Bag, Rear Disc Brake, Dashboard Intergrated and Sterling Audio, Spoiler, Skirting, Auto Transmission.

Toyota Vios 1.5S


VIOS 1.5G (AT)
RM 85,025.00, "Dark Grey + Beige Color" Interior, "Beige Color" Fabric Seat, Power Adjustable and Retracable Wing Mirrors, 15" Alloy Sport Rim, 1 Air Bag, Rear Disc Brake, Dashboard Intergrated and Sterling Audio, Auto Transmission.

VIOS 1.5E (AT)
RM 79,425.00, "Dark Grey + Beige Color" Interior, "Beige Color" Fabric Seat, Power Adjustable and Retracable Wing Mirrors, 14" Alloy Sport Rim, 1 Air Bag, Rear Drum Brake, 2-Din Head Audio, Auto Transmission.

Toyota Vios 1.5G and 1.5E have almost same outlook


VIOS 1.5J (AT)
RM 73,525.00, "Black Color" Interior, "Black Color" Fabric Seat, Manual Wing Mirrors, 14" Steel Sport Rim, No Air Bag, Rear Drum Brake, 1-Din Head Audio, Auto Transmission.

VIOS 1.5J (MT)
RM 69,825.00, "Black Color" Interior, "Black Color" Fabric Seat, Manual Wing Mirrors, 14" Steel Sport Rim, No Air Bag, Rear Drum Brake, 1-Din Head Audio, Manual Transmission.

Toyota Vios 1.5J (AT) and Vios 1.5J (MT) have almost same outlook, except Gear Stick


Few months after the first launch, there are so many Toyota Vios on the road throughout Malaysia. The stylish design, fuel savings and affordable price are the considering points for VIOS owners.

Supposedly, those who are owning VIOS should be enjoying the driving pleasures while the monthly repayments to financial are still running. But the grumbles and complaints from VIOS owners are heard recently. There are 3 cases i would like to share here. They bought their VIOS prior to the launch of VIOS 1.5J.


The Case 1, she likes the stylish design of Toyota Vios, finally bought a VIOS 1.5S in early 2008. The only reason she chose VIOS 1.5S, the interior color of "Dark Grey" which is almost the same as black. Why black ? She answered "I am willing to pay a few thousand extra to get a black interior as i have kids who are naughty enough to make interior and seats stained. VIOS 1.5G and VIOS 1.5E have beige color interior."

In July 2008, VIOS 1.5J was launched. Her colleague bought a VIOS 1.5J (AT), she felt surprise when noticing the interior of VIOS 1.5J (AT) is black. After knowing the price of J, she screamed "Oh my god! It costs me RM 15,000 for a black interior. Feelings black internally in VIOS 1.5J (AT) is like feelings black internally in VIOS 1.5S. I wouldn't choose VIOS 1.5S if VIOS 1.5J (AT) was available at the point i purchased."

Yes, she has lost RM 15,000.00 for a Black Interior

In a broad picture (without zooming in the other specs) :
Internally : VIOS 1.5J (AT) almost = VIOS 1.5S
Externally : VIOS 1.5J (AT), add Skirting, add Spoiler almost = VIOS 1.5S

Should we say VIOS 1.5J (Costs RM 73,525.00) has lowered VIOS 1.5S (88,325.00) standard ???


The Case 2, he bought VIOS 1.5E (RM 79,425.00) in Apr for a need of transport. What he needs, is just a vehicle to transport him from one destination to another, he doesn't care for extra specs. With the chosen VIOS 1.5E, which was the cheapest among VIOS 1.5S, VIOS 1.5G and VIOS 1.5E, he has no choice to take up the 2 tones interior, ie. "Dark Grey + Beige".

The TV Ads in July, promoting VIOS 1.5J, from RM 69,825.00 attracted his attention. He passed by Toyota Dealer and checked out the VIOS 1.5J, the new lowest specs, has a "Black Interior". He shouted to himself "What the hell! Why didn't Toyota offer 1.5J in the first place, so that it is fair to me to make a choice which model to buy and own."

Do you think would he buy VIOS 1.5E if he had been given a choice to buy VIOS 1.5J in the first place ?


The case 3, an office working girl had been to Honda and Toyota Showroom for Honda City and Toyota Vios prices and specs information. Honda has 2 model of Honda City, 1.5 i-DSI at RM 79,800.00 and 1.5 VTEC at RM 85,800.00. Comparing to Honda City VTEC at RM 85,800.00, she finally took up Toyota VIOS 1.5S at RM 88,325.00 three months ago as she think the newly launched model can at least last for another few years before turning old model. In other words, she presumed the deprecation of her VIOS would be minimised. "I am not going to buy Toyota anymore, i would reckon Honda for my next upgrade to Honda Civic or Accord in futures" she mumbled.

Do you think will second hand value of VIOS 1.5S, VIOS 1.5G and VIOS 1.5E get affected by VIOS 1.5J? If you intend to buy a second hand VIOS in 3 years down the road, would you choose VIOS 1.5J which has black interior (Feelings still clean) or VIOS 1.5E which has dotted stains (Feelings a bit stainy) ?

DO YOU OWN TOYOTA VIOS LATELY? DO YOU HAVE ANY SAY?


Some says on Paultan.org, a prestigious automobile website, for the launch of Toyota Vios 1.5J.

Safety ignorance ?


Good for new buyers, bad for "Beige Color Interior" old owners ?

PIKOM PC FAIR 2008 VISIT

Having visited to PIKOM PC FAIR 2008 yesterday, bought some laptop's gadgets for daily use.

Parked at KLCC, there were so many PC Fair visitors along the pedestrian from KLCC to KL Convention Centre. It proves that PIKOM has done a good job to promote computer literature for Malaysia community.

The one attracted my attention, WIMAX ! The next Internet Wireless Connection that we are waiting to hook up for a different cyber lifestyle.

Visited P1 booth, get some information about WIMAX. P1 offers Free Trial for now, registered on the spot and get your free WIMAX Modem (WIMAX Receiver) if you do fulfill the requirement (P1 girl told we need to stay at coverage area such as Subang Jaya SS14, SS17, Setapak....). Interesting...interesting...

Done my shopping at PC Fair, returned to KLCC to take my car. KLCC was jammed up with huge crowd. Like the previous PIKOM PC Fairs, most PC Fair visitors walked to KLCC for continuing their shopping.

ENVAIR (0080)

Right now, we have no idea what is going on this counter, ENVAIR (0080).

But the trend looks interesting, it is an uptrend. Not easy to find an uptrend stock in such market condition.

KUALA LUMPUR COMPUTER FAIR - PIKOM PC FAIR 2008

PIKOM PC FAIR season again. From 1 Aug - 3rd Aug 2008 at KL Convention Centre.

Whenever there is a PIKOM PC FAIR, there is a big crowd. The crowd is big until you hardly walk thru for certain lanes.

Does it because most of shoppers tend to on hold their purchasing needs and come to PIKOM PC FAIR for bargain hunting.

Does it because guys tend to come for eye washing on those branded ambassadresses ?

No matter how, i would say PIKOM PC FAIR is one of the successful fairs in Kuala Lumpur.

Congrats PIKOM PC FAIR !!! You make it. My laptop was purchased in PIKOM PC FAIR too !!!

USEFUL GUIDE FOR TRAVEL - WORLDWIDE ELECTRICAL PLUGS

Still remembered, when i first travelled overseas, i decided not to bring along my mobile phone charger as i wouldn't know the suitability of electrical plug of my dream destination.

When reaching my destination, i found out i was damned stupid without bringing along the mobile charger. The electrical plug was the same as our country.

Ending up, i ran out of battery of my mobile phone after 2 days as my mobile was 5 years old. The battery life was not sustainable for even a week.

With the lesson, i surfed for worldwide electrical plugs' information and found this useful website which helps us to do some planning prior to boarding.
