Air Car

March 29th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in @Miscellaneous

Forget about the gas price increase. Go for Air Car. This car uses Compressed Air Technology (CAT) to power. For the moment it costs less than $3.00 to filled up and can move at city limit speed of 60mph. Also, the emission is cold air which can be re-routed to use for the car air conditioning. I can’t wait for this car to hit the public!

Check it out here.

I took this pic from the balcony of my new apartment. As crazy as it sounds, this is the first time I’ve seen a car from the top down. I couldn’t make out the model of each car cause they all look the same. Some even look stylish from the top but when I got down to look at it, turns out to be our dear old national car which has nothing to shout about.

Galactic Civilization 2

I got GalCiv2 recently and has been playing it over the weekend. I played GalCiv1 before and I noticed there isn’t much change since. The graphics are definitely better but other than that not much different from the previous version. However, I have always enjoyed GalCiv and am still enjoying it. This time round, my custom race is the Ori and I’m out to conquer the galaxy will my supreme might. Hallowed are the Ori! (The Drengin is a pain in the @$$ though…)

Shark-branded Car

Shark-branded Car

Caught this car outside my office this morning. Written on the side is Cap Jerung which means Shark Brand in Malay. Quite a catchy color and definitely a good advertising medium. Wherever this car goes or park, people will sure be curious enough to stop and look.

Done within 48 hours

I had problems with my broadband connection the other day. I called up the help center and after going through some diagnostic checks, the operator filed in a report for me. She told me that the problem will be attended to and resolved within 48 working hours. At first I thought 2 days is not too long so I said ok. Then later I read on some local tech forum, someone faced the same problem as I am and his problem was not resolved in 2 days. When he called up the help center again to inquire, he was reminded again that it is 48 working hours! 1 working day consists of 8 working hours. So 48 working hours would mean 6 working days excluding weekends! OMG!!!

It never fails to amuse me the incompetency of some service companies. In this case, they even try to cover it up by saying it will be done within 48 working hours. Most people (like me), would have assume it meant 48 hours. However, the operative word here is ‘working’. This is a sad reflection of the type of customer service that we have to bear here. Sigh…
