Mat Rempit - Unofficial Stunt Drivers for motorcyle


Mat Rempits ... hah ... are they excellent drivers or just a menace on the roads? Well, can say that a little bit of both...

I guess in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_rempit really haves a good description of them and the many things associated with them and their culture. Not that I have personally have anything against them, i feel that their skills and knowledge can be put to much better and productive use...

Imagine they are able to push the many budgets motors and kapchais that we have beyond their limitation and make them into 'super-bikes' ... weeee... 'super-man' on 'super-bikes' doing 'super stunts' ...

Well, the issues is it's harmless fun and hobby if you do these things among your small groups of friends and doesn't disturb anyone in the process. It's get really bad when you starts to groups in hundreds, revving up your engines in the middle of the night and start crashing into police roadblocks... it starts to get to be pain in the neck.

Recently these jokers starts to even go on robbing sprees, attacking innocent drivers, robbing people of their possessions and bashing up vehicles for no reasons. Guess it's time for authorities to come down on these type of 'extreme sports'. So, I guess they will be a menace to us... hopefully many wil grow out of this phase of life and with the experience and knowledge gained, will be able to produce more Protons, Peroduas, Kancils and stuff like that... hehehehe...

New Year Resolutions anybody ???

Have been making many new year resolutions year in year out. Have been making more promises than keeping it. Have been frustrating many by the inability to finish up what we started or doing it so poorly that we might not bother doing it at all in the first place. Have been trying to cook up many excuses just to justify our failures in keeping our resolutions... Does this sound very familiar ???

Is this a case of putting our feet in our mouth? Is this a case of jumping the gun? Is this a case of counting the chickens before they are hatched? As a summary, should we even bother to make resolutions in the first place...?

Suprisingly, the answer should be YES!!! It's always better to have a goal, aim at it and missed rather than not having a goal at all. It's like the saying if you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail. So, it's always better to achieve 7 out of 10 goals rather than zero out of zero targets... now that's will be an interesting statistic...

So my top 10 goals for this year of 2007 are :
  1. To clear all my outstanding financial commitment on time ... money borrowed from people, credit cards, house rental, utilities bills, etc.

  2. To aim to spend more quality time with people around me, listening and talking to them.

  3. To develope myself in every aspect of my life - physically, spiritually, emotionally and socially as well including in my work and life serving in the church.

  4. Able to bless my parents with a nice holiday at the end of this year.

  5. Spend more time with my younger brother and getting to know his girlfriend.

  6. Learn up Linux, Unix and OSS software more.

  7. Learn up Windows Vista... of course :)

  8. Improve in my communication and presentation skills, to able to solve conflicts and learn to be tough when dealing with problem people.
  9. Improve in my relationship with God, desire to read His Word and spending time with Him and falling in love with Him more and more again.
  10. To train and teach others to learn up my skills and knowledgem so that they can do what I'm doing now and I can do what other people can't do.
So, since this is the beginning of the year, let's see where we will go at the end of the year.

Happy New Year 2007 everyone...
