Hey guys sorry for the late post..have been busy lately and when im not busy im lazy...hey that rhymes!...hahaha lame...anyway i got my car new tires...wheeee:P...finally i threw away those old second hand tires and replaced them with sports tires...kekeke...i still remember driving with those old tires to ulu yam with the guys from italia auto...horrible...my car was hardly gripping the road..dangerous...but nvm im ready to corner hard and fast with 4 continental premium contanct tires on the next trip to ulu yam...muahahha...
Although im a car enthusiast i didnt really pay much attention to the tires...i mean i know that using a good set of tires helps out the cars performance..but i didnt know that it would make so much of a difference...well maybe its because of the sudden switch from cacat tires to higher end ones...cant wait to really test them out on the curves:P

Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera


Lamborghinis has always been the most exotic one in the supercar range...the way the car has been design is nothing short of jaw droping...its just beautiful...and the sound from the raging V10...wow its juz amazing...theres a saying that goes "if u want to be fast on the track, go for a ferrari,but if u want every head to turn when you're driving around, buy a Lambo."Well im really happy that Lamborghini decided to make this hardcore version, the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera...stuning looking car....droolsss....hahaha jkjk...here's more info and pics about the car that i got from paultan.org..which is a great site for car enthusiasts.



This is purported to be the purest and sportiest Lamborghini Gallardo ever. Lamborghini’s Gallardo Superleggera was presented at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show. It features an extra 10hp of power, which is not much, however the supercar sheds 100kg of weight, giving it a weight to power ratio of 2.5kg/hp, making it one of the top lightweights in its class.
Powered by a 5.0 liter V10 making 530hp at 8,000rpm, acceleration time from 0 to 100km/h takes only 3.8 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than the normal Gallardo. Shifting is via a robotized e-gear gearbox, with paddle shifts on the steering wheel.
The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera weighs 1,330kg, thanks to usage of advanced materials and technologies. The engine hood is made of carbon fibre and transparent polycarbonate, ensuring the 5.0 liter V10 is visible in full glory. Wheels are new Scorpius forged rims wrapped with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres. In the interior, you sit in monocoque carbon fibre sports seats covered in Alcantara, with a suede-covered steering wheel.
It is available in 4 colors: Midas Yellow, Borealis Orange, Telesto Gray and Noctis Black. Shown in this post is Telesto Gray. There’s also options for a multimedia system with GPS and CD changer, a rear parking video camera, Carbon fibre trim for the interior, a fixed rear spoiler, a 4-point seatbelt, and carbon ceramic brakes.

before u watch this videos, make sure u turn up ur speaker's volume to listen to that raging V10 bull....keke...sweeett!!

what's with streamyx....

Hey guys...sry i havent been bloging much lately...was really busy this few weeks...infact im suppose to be doing my work now instead of bloging....shheessh!..heheh...nvm this will onli take 10 mins.
Lately my streamyx has been really slow...as in really really slooooowwww...opening a page without downloading with my bittorrent or limewire also will take some time...and on the downloading part...needless to say...eshhh!!!it gets to ur nervous at times...haihzzz...well as all we malaysians know..."streamyx" is well known for is internet serivces that say 1MB but in the real world is half of that that speed...and it cost RM88 a month!..acutally i dont mind paying RM88 a month..as long as the speed is about 80% of wat has been promised...but my gosshhhh..from the bandwidth test result...my download speed is 108kbps...thats like 10% of 1MB!!!...wat the heckk...eshhhh!...im gonna file a complain soon....here's the result

u can get ur bandwidth test from this site http://www.internetfrog.com/mypc/speedtest/

its more accurate than the one from tmnet's site.....ohhh by the way QOS stands for 'quality of servise' which i got 1% as u can see in the pic above...horrible.....

i searched the word streamyx in Wikipedia and this is wat i got...this is the Criticism part:

Criticism
TMNet has been criticised locally on a range of issues. This section outlines some of the criticisms faced by TMNet.

[edit] Speed & Reliability
Many TMNet subscribers have complained about the slow speeds and the general lack of reliability of connections provided. However TMNet’s terms states, like those of other ISPs around the world, that the service they provide is based on a "best effort" basis,[2] meaning that connections are not guaranteed to perform at their advertised theoretical speeds. This is largely due to aging copper lines, insufficient bandwidth, and the overly high contention ratios. Customers’ frustrations have been further aggravated by recent aggressive marketing campaigns launched by TMNet to attract more subscribers.

[edit] Last Mile Monopoly & Lack of Competition
TMNet's parent company, TM Bhd., has a monopoly of the last mile connections.[3] Unlike the EU, Malaysia has not passed any legislation for the unbundling of last mile connections.[4] This gives little chance for other third party companies to compete with TMNet and has thus created an unhealthy business environment. It is believed that the unbundling of the last mile connections is key to enabling new ISP's to fill the nation's growing broadband demand.[5]
However, the last mile monopoly has also forced the other companies like Maxis Communications to provide wireless internet access services. Prices for these services still remain relatively expensive.[6]

[edit] Peer-to-peer connection throttling
TMNet performs bandwidth throttling on P2P connections,[7] a practice that is opposed by a large portion of TMNet Streamyx users. TMNet claims that P2P users are overusing bandwidth, causing other users to suffer poor connections.[8] However, a majority of users believe that P2P is not responsible for the lack of bandwidth and accuse TMNet of overselling their available bandwidth.

well i juz tested by internets line bandwidth and i got 274kpbs...better than the results i got yesterday night but still its like 29% of 1MB....slooooowwwww...hmmmm....anyway i gtg edi...used up more that 10mins edi...lol..caioz
