Neverland Ranch Investigators Discover Corpse Of Real Michael Jackson

happen to see this news, i wonder is true or just a hoax...


SANTA BARBARA, CA—During a search for evidence at the Neverland Valley Ranch, investigators discovered a corpse that has been identified as that of Michael Jackson, Santa Barbara police officials announced Tuesday.


"Coroners have officially pronounced Michael Jackson dead. From what we can tell, he died between 18 and 20 years ago," forensic investigator Tim Holbrooke said. "We are not certain, at this time, who—or what—has been standing trial in that Santa Maria courthouse."
According to Holbrooke, Jackson's corpse was buried just inches below a stretch of the miniature-train tracks that run throughout Neverland. The largely desiccated corpse wore the remains of a red, zipper-covered leather jacket and a single glove.



"We positively identified the body as Jackson by his dental records and DNA," Holbrooke said. "But even before we conducted a single forensic test, we began to suspect that that we'd uncovered the real Michael, and that the disturbing figure claiming to be Jackson was a fake."
Holbrooke said that, although the corpse was in an advanced stage of decomposition, when investigators compared the body to early-career publicity photos of Jackson, they saw a striking resemblance in bone structure and facial features. But when they compared the body to photos taken after 1987, the resemblance was negligible.


"This discovery raises a lot of questions, but it also sheds light on a number of disturbing incidents," Holbrooke said. "Frankly, Jackson had been acting pretty strange."


Forensic experts and music critics are postulating that Jackson was dead before the release of the multi-platinum album Bad. Detectives are currently analyzing the lyrics to "Man In The Mirror" for any clues relating to a look-alike entity that many suspect murdered the youngest member of the Jackson 5 and assumed his identity.


"We believe that Neverland served as some sort of freakishly whimsical tomb constructed by Jackson's killer," Holbrooke said. "We also suspect that all of the iniquities that occurred on that ranch were the work of the imposter. I wouldn't have ever thought it possible, but we are looking at a situation where the sexual abuse of a 13-year-old cancer patient is the tip of the iceberg."



Holbrooke said that, while the living Jackson is the leading suspect in the murder investigation, he "could be another victim of some sort."
"Basically, we have no idea what type of creature we are dealing with," Holbrooke said.
A member of the investigative team that discovered Jackson's body described the experience as "otherworldly."



"As we neared the perimeter of Neverland, the dogs started whining and howling like crazy," Santa Barbara County detective Frank Poeller said. "We had to pull them into the house. When we got to Jackson's bedroom, one of them almost choked himself to death on his leash trying to get out through the window. Minutes later, the same dog led us to the corpse."
A representative from Jackson's self-created label, MJJ Productions, said he was not surprised to find out that the current Jackson is an imposter.



"When we were recording 'Heal The World' for Dangerous, I could tell something was terribly, terribly wrong," MJJ manager Luke Allard said. "Michael didn't seem like himself anymore. He'd demand bizarre food and sit for hours in a hyperbaric chamber. His appearance began to become more and more peculiar. Soon afterwards, he started wearing a mask and confiding in a chimpanzee."
"I remember thinking, 'This man has become a monster,'" Allard said. "If only I'd known how right I was."

Allard said he thinks that the imposter broke ties with Jackson's former friends and surrounded himself with children who were too young to notice the radical change.
Vanity Fair reporter Beth Pither visited Neverland in 1994.


"A strangely fearful staff member led me to Jackson, but ran off before I opened the door," Pither said. "Standing there with my hand on an ice-cold doorknob, I heard strange, unnatural sounds—leathery wings flapping, a sorrowful wail, and loud hissing. A wave of dread passed through me as I opened the door, but all I found was Michael and some kids in pajamas eating ice cream and watching 101 Dalmatians."



While their claims have not been corroborated, other Neverland visitors have reported that when when Jackson entered a room, lights flickered, faucets ran blood-red, and screams escaped from the walls.



To aid in the investigation, the FBI enlisted Dr. Richard Weingarden, a noted expert on the paranormal from UC Santa Barbara. After only two hours, Weingarden abandoned the project.
"The smell of sulfur, the decaying facial features, the bizarrely high-pitched voice—it sounds exactly like..." Weingarden said, trailing off. "I'm sure it's nothing. Not a big deal. Nothing to be terrified about, certainly. I have to go. I've got a family."



Thomas Sneddon, the prosecutor in Jackson's child-molestation lawsuit, said it remains to be seen how the shocking discovery will affect the trial.
Megan Gustafson, who left her post as president of the Akron, OH Michael Jackson Fan Club after the singer was accused of molestation, offered a positive view of the grisly revelation.
"This is very disturbing news," Gustafson said. "But to be honest, it's kind of a relief too. Thriller and Off The Wall are really amazing records. Now I can pull them out of my 'ruined by child abuse' storage bin and start listening to them again."

review of Gas Gas EC300

the Gas Gas EC300, the only 300cc stroker in singapore market back in 2001-02, the KTM didn't bring in their 300EXC. i was lucky to have a chance to ride on this monster as this is the 1 and only 1 in Singapore.

ride report, the bike is very light, and it feels light too when sitting on it, and the tank is also very slim, comparable to any modern MX machine. it doesn't need more than 3 kicks to fire up the bike, throttle response is instant and crisp. suspenson is marzochi 45mm fork and ohlin rear shock.

initial ride impression, the bike feel very torque, you can short shift it everywhere and the torque does not lack very far back, just a twist on the throttle and it goes thumping away, ya, this is a 2smoker i know.

on the straight, with a WOT, the power surge in with aggression and be prepare to brace yourself for the "arm pulling out of ya socket" sensation, image gets blurry from here.

suspension, handling. the bike is light and it is easy to flick around, even in tight trail or track, it is piece of cake for this machine. however, the front does feel abit twichy and have a "floating" feel, it does not feel as planted as other machine. but the rear track damn well, under power sliding under the huge G-loading, the rear does holds up well and build confidence for further rolling on of throttle.

the bike does jumping well, but not to the extend of those big jump, the suspension absorb it without breaking any sweat.

jetting, it is almost spot on, bike is easy to start, and it sensitive to even the slightest throttle position changing. clutch pull is light, even lighter than the KTM, and also, the low end thrust from the GasGas is more linear and manageable.

overall impression, this is a machine, with thumper's torque, which ya could use it in muddy condition to lug ya way up slippery condition, and power of smoker, where ya can blast it wide open on a open trail.

while going through some old riding photo collection this evening, happen to see this autographed photo by Doug Henry. He was holding the checkered flag after winning the supermoto race, on team Troy Lee Design, on the CRF450R Honda.

i have long to get Doug's autograph but have not had the opportunity to go back to States since my first trip in 2000. but i'm glad to have a American friend over the States to have him printed this winning photo of Henry and had him to autograph it while the race was held near his place, thanks buddy, i owe you one.

let hope Henry can get back into riding soon. the other photo was taken together with my buddy's kid.

Is ya top management proud and stuck up?

YES, my top management "officers" seem like they are these kinda of people. i guess i do not need to go into detail, but i believe of of you should have encounter this kinda situation or reply from email before.

it is just a simple thing, and they throw it back into you and ask you to do it before revertting to them. i wonder how difficult and how long would this takes them to do it? i just take up and calculator, punch in a few numbers and i got the answer, wassup with them??

ya, you may say they are the bosses, thus they got the right to do it in this manners, however, to me, a good boss is someone who understand what their staff is doing, how is their staff coping with the work, and most importantly, he is a respectable person, be it man or woman.

to be frank, most of my ex-bosses are friendly and they do not behave like this, i guess this is perhap due to the lack of EQ, although they may have IQ, also maybe due to their personal character and attitudes.

nevermind, what goes around, comes around. i believe they will learn their lesson one of the day.

A Golden Advice for Gamblers

with the Integrated Resort construction in progress, Singapore government have already looking into the "gambling issues/problems" that could be arising when all the casino is in operation.

there are bound to have gamblers's problem, whenever there's casino, but how are the government going to step in to assist or prevent all these problems?

i guess the only and the simplest way is by self control, as no body can stop you from borrowing $$ to carry on gambling etc.

i happen to see this from a mate in OZ, i think this is a very good advice, thus i decided to put it up here --> 'Dont bet what you cant afford to lose'

if you can follow this closely, you will be fine.

How do ya know if ya car is Screwed...

if you see this CEL

the days on my blue thumper

most of this photo, are taken in year 2000, participating in quite a numbers of Msia mx race, and local races. my ex WR400, was fully revalved, respring to RaceTech spec, for myself. including a set of full DSP Ti exhaust system, 1 of the only 2 sets in Singapore then.

enjoy the pic.

i'm upset...

just today, after getting both my kids to sleep, i play the dirt bike CD in the living hall. as some of you may know, i stay with my in law now, as they are helping to look after my kids. just before the race is ending, my father in law is back, and he saw it.

so when the race is over, while removing the disc, he tell me in future, not to watch motobike CD here. then he carry on to say, his bro was kill in a accident many years ago, and his then girlfriend, that is my mother in-law also knew about the accident, and ever since, both of them "hate" or disagree or reject and thing that is related to motorcycle.

i knew they don't like it all along, especially mother in law, i knew she always telling my boy, motorcycle is dangerous, behind me. i knew it coz my boy came asking me if he would fall down if he ride. however, i do not take it heart as i know it is concern for my boy.

and now, i'm feeling very upset after hearing what my in law told me and thats why i'm typing away in here. myself, a motorcycle riders, who ride to work daily, practise motocross riding, race, since 1992, what would you do if you as the father can't share your hobby together with your family, or kids.

in the States, any form of dirt bike riding session, is a family event, dad will bring the kids or the wife go riding, setting up of shades, and even BBQ on the site, enjoying the family life. me too, would like to do something like that for my family.

what i reckon, the accident did impact very deeply into them, but that is traffic accident, for me, i'm talking about dirt biking, doing some enjoyable ride on somewhere which is safe, under supervision of the adult.

lastly, i do not wish to had arguement with Kat, as she will be sandwich between her parent and me. Kat know me years back, i was still actively engage in racing motocross, be it in Singapore or Msia, she will be there for me.

i just hope in times to come, i will have chance to show my kids, what his papa is doing when he was younger, however for now, i will just keep it low, but will do the necessary when needed later on.

my trip to the States in 2000

i went to the States alone, to attend the RaceTech seminar conducted by the founder Paul Thede himself, my 2 weeks plus stay in the States was fruitful. beside the theory or lecture session, we have opportunity to go to the famous AMA National motocross track Glen Helen, to do some bike testing.

it was a chilled morning, i take a ride from one of the guys and we had breakfast along the way. i order some ham, sausages, blah blah and also, order a hot coffee as well(as it was a cold weather). but some guys with us, actually order a cold Coke, and they told me, coffee sux. LOL, perhap it is the different culture we had.

anyway, we reach the track in the morning sun already started to rise, RaceTech has 2 bike testers with us, and 2 nos CR125 Honda. and before we start the bike testing session, i roam around the track, looking around for "familiar" faces.

and to my delight, i saw Ty Davis, with his yamaha YZ426F, yamaha bike tester, Doug Dubach, testing the prototype YZ250F, which is still not for sale in the market yet. both of them was riding at a fast pace which lap every other riders on the track.

Dubach even blow up the 250F engine due to the constant high revving of that engine, end up, he got frustrated and switch over to a YZ250 to have some fun. Joel Smeth was that in the morning, i saw his KTM540 on the track, but can;t seem to find him.

while still waiting for the RaceTech rider to gear up, i took the opportunity to pop by Ty Davis truck to chat up with him. asking him about his bike, and he was saying he got his "own" special cam for his 426F. and also, both his 426F fork and shock was revalve by RaceTech as well.

when the RaceTech mechanic went over to Ty asking him some questions, check out how the suspension works, and after that, within minutes, the fork is remove and being revalve again, in the mobile truck that is park next to a shed. less than 15mins, both fork was back onto the bike, and Ty went out for testing again, that was simple professional!

althought this trip was kinda short for me, i hope i will be able to go back to States again to met up with them and they are the good guys.

Pics of Frankfurt Motor Show

*photo taken from a subaru forum*

this concept WRC car look much better than those production 2008 wrx.

i guess with this rally blue, the decal kit and the body kit + spoiler, really make the car look much better.

for those Singaporean who frequent JB

saw this in a forum

Last Sunday afternoon, I received a call from a Malaysian colleague who saidthat he wanted to bring me to an exclusive underground club in JB. So Iarranged to meet him at City Square in JB at 5.00pm. When I reached JB CitySq at around 5.15pm, I called my friend and he told me that he will beslightly late. So I decided to go to the MacDonalds near to the entrance atcity square to wait for him. I ordered a kiddy meal, as i was expecting tohave dinner with my colleague later, which came with a free toy.


After ordering my food, I found a seat at the corner of MacDonalds. It was acorner four seater table next to a wall. So I sat next to the wall and afterfinishing my food, I took a look at the toy. Then a skinny rugged lookingman came over and sat right next to me.


The conversation was as follows:

>Man: Are you a Malaysian?
>Me: Why? (Sensing something is strange with this question)
>Man: Just answer me.
>Me: Pretending to be Malaysian. Yes I am Malaysian.
>Man: So are you from Penang?
>Me: No why?
>Man: Doesn’t matter where you are from, we are all Chinese. Can you 'lend'me $50?
>Me: I got no money to lend you.
>Man: Don’t lie, I can see your wallet in your pockets. (as I always put mywallet in my front pocket whenever I go overseas.)


He then reached to his back pocket and took out a small fruit knife andpointed the knife next to my tummy. **** at that instant I knew it wasdaylight robbery at MacDonalds. I was in shocked and I looked at him again.I was trapped as I am cornered (I was sitting next to a wall) and the onlyroute to escape was the seat which was occupied by him now.

>Man: Don’t force me. I am really desperate now. Don’t force me. I am notasking a lot from you only $50.
>Me: $ 50 only?
>Man : Yes.Fearing for my own safety, I took out my wallet and gave him $50. However he wasn’t pleased with the $50 and asked for another $5 ringgit to make a phonecall back home from me, I thought to myself, what the f*ck since kena robbed$50 liao what is another $5?


So I gave him another $5. He took the moneyhappily and 'thanked' me before walking off. I tried to chase him but hequickly walked to the exit next to the MacDonalds and made a quick run. Idecided not to chase him further when he left City Square as I was worriedabout my own safety and also I was already in a state of shock and do notreally know how to react.



What pissed me off was at the MacDonalds, therewas a Malay family with kids was sitting next to me and a staff who wascleaning had possibly seen the whole incident and yet nobody was willing tohelp me. After a short while I called my colleague and told him whathappened and cancelled our planned trip and headed back to Singapore.



I did not make a police report as I thought it was too troublesome to do so. Thiswill be the last time that i will ever go to Malaysia alone again. I don’tthink it is safe even at broad daylight anywhere in JB. On the way back Iwas really feeling very down as I was looking forward to a great time andinstead I had to head home disappointed with a state of shock and $50 ringgit poorer



Description of the man who robbed me. Height: about 168, Weight: 50+ (veryskinny), Race: Chinese, Skin: dark tanned, Hair style: short but a littlecurly. He looked like a drug addict, wearing T-shirt and jeans. He hid hislittle knife in newspaper wrapping at his back pocket.

do you drive a turbo charge car?

recently, met up with a group of TC car lovers for kopi. for myself, i know nuts about car, especially TC engine. however, i'm slowly understanding the concept of how a turbo is hook up to a engine.

it is pretty simple and straight foward kinda mechanical installation. but the parameters consideration of "upgrading" of engine, will need more specific and detail technical knowledge before you do anything, or else, it will just blow up any engine.

from the above pic, it is a subaru STi engine, you can see the top mount intercooler, the blow off valve (i suppose?), the red colored pipe are the pre-cool air going into the engine, turbo however, is hidden here. right below, is the subaru boxer engine.

the above pic, sure does look compact and cramp for any modification work, however, i have see how "magic" work done on some of the TC car, simple amazing, or perhap, i'm still a newbie in this area..

how is ya day at work??

i had a bad day at work today, feeling pretty stress out throughout the day after meeting with the boss. i guess i will not go into detail of what is all the shit about, it is just poor management i can say.

one of my colleague whom i always lunch with is on leave today, thus had to take my lunch alone, no one to complain to. i guess the best way to take it is to take it positively and i'm trying my best to do it.

my mum just called, saying my little girl is having a flu, later will need to rush home and bring her to see a doc, otherwise, we will be busy tonight again.

lastly, how is ya day at work today?

My rusty and trusty 1992 RM125

went back home to try to dig out my old riding photo, and i only manage to find this pic of me riding the old RM125, this pic was taken while riding in Msia track in ulu pengelli, somewhere in kluang. it was sometimes in 2000.

sorry for the blur image.

Are You a Motorcycle Rider Part 2

This is the first motorcycle race in my lifetime, I was pretty nervous but was well prepared, spare oiled air filter, new gear box oil, new tyres (Dunlop 752, no more in market now).

The race was in the old TMFT, which is just next to the TMFT ferry terminal, terrain was soft sand and many berms and ruts was form during practises and with the rain stop, all this man-made features are harden.

I was having trouble riding on the new carved out track layout and was struggling, I fell quite a few times in corners. And during one of the crash, shhiiiiiiiitttttttt, my radiator starts to leak… bad news..

I push my bike back to pit area, the mechanic was saying he can plug up the leaking radiator and run alone only on 1 side radiator, but after checking with a few guys, I decided not to race, fearing it may cause more serious engine damage and end up, more $$ just for repair.

After close observation on the radiator, I have found the leaking area have been welded previously, so it could have been repaired before and I was unable to forsee when it will going to leak again in any crash.

So during the main event, I become a pit crew for my fellow mate who is racing. And I have told myself, I have to be more prepared for my future races, and the rest is history, my racing season has started…

Are You a Motorcycle Rider???

This has been a interesting topic for many decades, many know it’s dangerous to ride a motorcycle (or bike), especially riding motocross, however, for rider like me, if you were to ask me, I do not have a specific answer for you, my reply would be just, “I just wanna ride”

Rewind back to 1991, when I was about 16 year old, in secondary 4, I have already have the thought of riding a bike, and it have to be a dirt bike. So when I reach 16.5 years old (which it is allow last time), I asked my dad to go for lesson, because I have no $$!

My dad rode a scooter many donkey years ago when I was small, but sold it away for a pickup because of job need. So I thought my dad will be encouraging and approve my request, but no. he decline my request, but I persisted and I WON :D

He paid for all my lesson, and when I got my license, I asked him to buy me a bike, and end up, I WON again, but it is a lau ah peh bike, at least better than nothing, I got my license in 1992 Nov.

Through the years pass, I have been enjoying riding bike to school, riding with friends, meet up for kopi session. And when I finally ORD from the army in 1997, I bought my first real dirt bike, a 1992 suzuki RM125. this is where all the happening begins, I started riding every Sunday at the old Loyang mx track, together with those seasoned mx riders, and I have learnt a great deal from them.

And my first off road race was in 1997 for a newbie me, i ask my dad for approval, and i WON, for the third time, but the race turn out to be.........

To Be Continued….

reborn of AE86

* got this info from auto blog*

Within days of announcing Toyota's formation of a "Committee to create interesting cars," this summer's Best Car Plus magazine reveals that the long-rumoured new AE86 type car has indeed been spawned by the group and should be in showrooms in the winter of 2008.

The new article goes into some detail of the new car's spec. Under 4m long and 1.7m wide, it's pretty low at 1.35m tall, and engineers have been directed to keep weight below 1,000kgs. Power will come from a 1.5L 2NZ-FE good for 120 horsepower.

What has been unknown until this time is where Toyota would source a cheap RWD drivetrain, but Best Car has learned that it will come from new partner Fuji Heavy Industries - better known to you and me as Subaru.

And the best news of all? The committee's final directive is to keep the new car's sticker price below 1.5million Yen. That's about $12,300 USD in today's money.

now, it doesn't have that authentic look of the original AE86, but it could spark some interest of those drifter.

350cc thumper in 2009

Here is the article from AMA.AMA Pro's Steve Whitelock traveled to the Spanish GP on his off weekend, and met with FIM, Youthstream, and manufacturer's representatives about standardizing rules between the AMA and FIM.


This trip and meeting signaled a new level of cooperation between the AMA and FIM, and showed they can sit down and work on problems together. In fact, they didn't use the word rule standardization, they used "harmonizing," which sounds nicer. The AMA and FIM in harmony? Did I just type that? Yes, it's real. On Saturday, Whitelock, Youthstream's president Guisseppe Luongo, and the FIM MX President Wolgang Srb held a full "round table" format meeting to explain what was discussed at an FIM GP Commission meeting this morning.



Whitelock was in the meeting as an invited guest.The focus was on keeping 2-strokes alive as an option for development riders, noise, and getting the manufacturers to agree to a 350cc

4-stroke for MX1, and SX/MX in the USA.The FIM, Youthstream, and the AMA together have submited their opinions to the manufacturers through a representative here in Bellpuig and are expected to get answers in June of this year.The meeting went over an hour and a full report will be out soon.


Here's a quick summary:- "The 2-stroke is not dead." Both Whitelock and the FIM asked the manufacturers to keep 2-strokes - minis, 85s and 125s and 250s going because 4-strokes just keep the price of admission. The American side needs 2-strokes as entry level bikes with events like Loretta's in mind and the FIM wants them because of European minibike championships. - AMA Pro wants FIM Noise rules.


They are now taking steps to "harmonize" sound rules and testing methods with the FIM. That's good news for the noise activists in the US. In fact, this changes AMA Pro's approach from previous interviews when they said they were adopting noise rules to get stadium noise down and not for some global goal. Now matching what the FIM does is a goal.- 450s out, 350s in by 2009.


AMA Pro and the FIM asked the manufacturers to develop 350cc 4-strokes, because 450s are seen as too much, just like 500cc 2-strokes were years ago.- Just the fact that Whitelock, Luongo and SRB were at the table with media was significant. They seemed sincere in working together and that this signals a new era of AMA/FIM cooperation.


Whitelock also explained a lot about past meetings in the US about displacement and some of the things that caused the various inaccurate reports on the internet about 250cc only racing in SX, and some of the problems. You could say he's taking his case to a higher level and it makes sense for the AMA and FIM to stay on the same page. They were receptive and went to the manufacturers direct with everything. So the proposals they want to hear about by June went to the FIM and AMA together - and they went direct to Japan.

881, the movie

alright, i might be slow, the hype might be over, the lunar 7th month has also pass, no more "getai" also now. i have also never watch this movie before.

the thing i like about this movie, is that theme song, which is sang by Wu Jia Hui, i like this song since the first time i heard it while driving, it is mixture of hokkien and chinese. a simple, yet easy to sing-along song.

have linked this song to my blog, pls stroll down and enjoy the song.

mooncake/ lantern festival

my wife ordered this special moon pies through his uncle with assorted flavours, which we tried about a month back, there are original, coffe, pandan, yam etc...

the paste and taste of this pies are almost perfect, not too sweet and not too sticky to your teeth. personally i like the original and the yam flavours pies.

the lunar 15th aug is coming soon, if you notice, almost every where are starting to sell all sort of moon cakes. however, i still prefer the traditional mooncake with the egg yolks.

and for the chinese, lunar 15th aug is the night with the roundest moon you can see throughout the year (if i'm not mistaken) and also a day for reunion of family and your love ones.

now, this would be perfect if i have some chinese tea with us.. hmm...

our toy, in the green organisation

FH200052 Calibre 155mm Field Howitzer

i found this pic in the internet while doing a search, this is exactly the same toy we learnt and trained on during my NS and reservist days. we, the 7th mono intake was the first batch of gunner who is trained on this gun while the previous batch was on the older version FH88.

FH2000 was the improvised version from FH88, and the barrel was longer, firing distance was also further. during gun firing, you can actually feel the earth shaking when using high charge for firing, even with ear plug and muffler, you still hear it very clearly.

with 155mm caliber, FH2000 was no doubt have the most powerful firing power from the ground, capable propelling it's projectile up to a distance of 40km. i'm not a gun expert, but this is typing straight from my memory, i maybe wrong after all this 12 years.

i was the no. 4 man, previously from Bravo bty, gun no. 3, with the infamous gun no. 5611 (not for you to buy 4D, but this gun was famous, especially in New Zealand) and later on, my detachment was switched over to gun no. 5613 (which my gun mate say 13 is unlucky no.), and contrary to us, we were glad we have switch gun...

to be continued.....

my life in the green uniform

i was enlisted in june 1995, into the Singapore artillery unit (7th mono-intake), meaning my bmt (basic military training) will be within this unit, and i shall be stuck with this unit, unless i get posted out.

and what i heard is true, since most of us will be stuck with this unit, the unit make sure we are well trained, very very well trained, meaning we will be very fit, tip top condition for handling of the big gun, (no wonder i see this "King of the Battlefield" when i step into khatib camp on the first day) and they are big, heavy and powerful, we are infact the first artillery unit to utilise the FH2000 (which Bravo bty is very famous during year 1997, check out my posting later if you are interested)

i came in earlier, as i fail my sit and reach, during NAFA test, which i feel i look like a fool, or the system got problem, i got no problem for doing chin up, sit-up, standing board jump, shuttle run and even the 2.4km. i have just wasted additional 2month in here, which i need to report to CMPB, just 3 days after my final year exam, when my classmate, had about 2-3 more month before they get their head shaved...

during this PTP (physcal training phase), we got running week, meaning every morning, before day break, we will run for 5km, until the sun come out, and we do this for 1 whole week. then in afternoon, we got other PT (physical training) to do.

i don't really have culture shock when i came in here as i was pretty well prepared, just that we always doze off during lectures, as we wake up early and sleep late. and with all that physical exercises, we are really totally worn out by end of the day.

by now, i'm already a ROD guy with my reservist completed, i have fulfilled my reservist obligation, pass all my IPPT (i got Gold twice during my NS days, but those was the day man). come to think of it, i still got campmate who still got 5 more years to serves or more.

and till today, i still hear the recruit or NS boys talking about how to "keng" , "siam" or what, but my only advice is, just do what you are told and quickly finish off all this and you are a free man again..

2008 WR250R

Key Features:
ALL-NEW FOR 2008

Directly descended from our YZ motocrossers and WR off-road machines—even the original Yamaha YA-1 of 1955—the all-new WR250R is here to make Yamaha’s off-road prowess street accessible.


Not exactly an enduro model and not a streetbike either, the WR250R is for riders who ride off-road more than on. Its sibling, the supermoto-inspired WR250X, is for riders who spend more time on pavement.


Engine:
Fresh-sheet design 250cc liquid-cooled, DOHC engine with two titanium intake valves and two steel exhausts, forged piston and plated cylinder for outstanding durability.
Pentroof combustion chamber with downdraft-type straight intake helps make excellent power across the rev band, with maximum power at 10,000 rpm.


First use of fuel injection on a 250 Yamaha on/off-road bike. The system relies on input from a crank sensor, intake air pressure sensor and throttle position sensor feeding a compact ECU to provide optimum combustion.

An ECU-controlled EXUP exhaust valve, along with an electronic intake control valve, broadens the powerband.


Large titanium intake valves with WPC processed high lift cams, a treatment in which the surface is sprayed with fine powder at over 100 meters per second to increase surface hardness.

Three-axis engine layout keeps the engine compact. Wet sump tucks between frame rails to keep the engine height down.


Rare earth-type ACM alternator keeps the weight down while providing all the current needed to run the FI and lighting systems.


Direct ignition coil sits atop the spark plug—another first on a Yamaha on/off-road model.

Six-speed gearbox provides a wide spread of ratios, with shower-type lubrication for reliability. A special light-action clutch makes shifting a snap.


Tucked-in, three-chamber muffler keeps the mass concentration up and the bike quiet.
Electric start only: Leaving off the kickstarter keeps it light and simple.


Chassis/Suspension:
Additional Features:
A slim, steel fuel tank is shaped with knee grip in mind, and the entire ergonomic layout is designed to make the rider feel like part of the bike.


Narrow, YZ-inspired seat features gripper-type cover for great seat-of-the-pants feel. Seat height is 36.6 inches.

WR enduro-style instrument panel provides excellent visibility in spite of the compact size. Basic mode provides speed, clock, tripmeter and self-diagnostic function. Measurement mode includes stopwatch, distance-compensating tripmeter, etc.


Minimalist front and rear fenders are designed for function, simplicity and lightness.
Bodywork with separate radiator heat outlet helps keep engine and rider cool.
Lightweight headlight and LED taillight maximize visibility and draw less current.


Adjustable front brake lever.


this is fuel injected machine, 6 speed, e-start, a total new engine compare to the existing wr250f, a good bike for recce and explore new ground for fishing.

Wash your car for $3 in Singapore, here

i happen to saw this car washing station when i walk along this main road. it stated $3 for car, $2.50 for taxi, my friend wash his MPV at $4.

i have been to this car washing place almost every weekend, coz it is cheap, fast, and the auntie collecting the $$ is polite, and best of all, it's 24HRS!!!

but they only use normal washing soap for your car, don't think about those $6 or $8 bubble type of shampoo for your car. it is normally long Q, long waiting time, and sometimes not even clean properly. i rather pay $3, moderate clean and at least i can't complaint much.

now, i bet you guys must be very "kan cheong" to know where is this car washing station right? hehee

ok, let me try my best to explain, you guys know the golf range along the sin mind area? with a newly built prawn pond there, and with a big kopi shop and open air carpark? if you were driving from ang mo kio, you would need to turn right into this road, and the golf range is on the right hand side of you. if you come from bishan, you would be driving straight into sin min area.

with the golf range on your right, there is a T-junction immediately infront and you need to turn left. and then, you need to keep left and watch out on your left, look out for the chervolet work shop entrance, this entrance is share by the workshop and the car washing station, the washing station is to the right side, go into the right entrance.

just follow the Q and wait for your turn, inside there, if you drive a van or lorry that need disel, they sell disel as well, i guess should be cheaper than outside petrol kiosk, but too bad not petrol.

hope this lobang will benefit you drivers, and help to cut down some cost for your car. Cheers~

revisit to Botak Jones

last sunday, me and my wife decided to visit Botak Jones outlet at AMK again, but this time round, we went at about 5pm+. the kopi shop was not as crowded as the first time we went here.

going through the menu, wife pick the Cajun Chicken while i chose the 200gm Lamp Chop. my wife Cajun Chicken came first, so she was whacking the food like a hungry wolf, while i was carrying my 11mth old daughter.

after about 10mins, my lamp arrived, i pour some HP sauces onto the meat, this sauce taste abit sour, kinda like vinegar, maybe was to cover the lamp's smell. while eating the meat, i realise that the meat was limited, i can say that the bones took up 20%, those fats 35% and i'm left with half portion of meat only...

the only stuff that make me filling are the unlimited fries which i can't finish. just hope that the lamp chop can have abit more "eat-able portion" .

and by the time we left Mr Jones stall, queue is formed up at the ordering point and kopi shop is almost full house.

latest update of Doug Henry's injury

if you supermoto guys still remember, Doug Henry had a nasty crash during one of the supermoto practise and was out of action for quite sometimes. the above pic are the latest update.

Doug is able to stand up on his own now, this photo was capture by one of his fan, showing his determination although the nasty crash has put him down greatly. however, his presence at one of the supermoto track have got all his fans hype up.

speedy recovery Doug, hope to see ya back on the bike soon.

fruitless luring trip...

me and my mates went here looking promising but we see a row of atillery battalion deploy (estimated about 12 guns in position), check out those heavy tackle setup rod, reel, covered almost all terrain liao water was calm, air is smelly, seem like there is mountain bike competition going on, with their tentage set up so end up, we left, never try to lure there the only highlight of the day is, the kosong roti prata at loyang industrial kopi diam is nice.

close shot of my 2 kids

i wonder what they are looking at...

Oasis at kallang river

it has been a while since we had dinner with my in-law, so this saturday evening, we book a table in one of the restaurant in Oasis, it seems like this place also going away soon. so brough along the camera to take some pic of here before it really is gone.

i took quite of bit of photo on the kallang river, instead of the oasis building itself, because i'm a fisherman, one bad thing about here is "No Fishing"

the dinner was a enjoyable one, and the scenery, especially on the sunset view of those condominium is nice, and serene...
