Dead Arowana, Run-Flat Tyres

          Today,... has been a tiring day.... since morning,... macam2 perkara yang tak diduga berlaku... Pagi2 lg, got a phone call from mummy. tanya pasal warning indicator yang menyala kat kereta... ada red colored flat tyre symbol keluar kat screen... and a beeping sound..  apekebenda la ni?...  my mum call nak tanya pasal tu.... my first thought, ada tyre yang lose pressure.... so xyah nak risau sangat, coz those are run flat tyres. xyah tuka pun... Spare tyre pun takde..  most BMW yang Completely Built-Up (CBU) skrg pakai run flat tyres...so theres no need to have spare tyre yang buat kereta tu berat je...zzzz. the tyres may run flat for about 200 miles.. as long as its below 80km/h.. so drivers will have enough time and distance to go to the nearest tyre service center...

Then,... i found out my silver arowana had jumped out from the pond... alamakkk...zzz.. its already dead... keras da pn.. tp belum jd ikan kering lg la...haha.... -waduh... sedih jgk... coz when i bought it few months back,.. die kecik je... now da almost 1 foot in length. besar jgk bile view from the side...  nasib baik la bukan yang another one yg lagi besar tu... Anyway,.. mmg nature arowana utk melompat dapatkn insect as food. im aware of that... silver arowanas particularly, are great jumpers...  maybe aro tu ade la nampak ape2 insect flew over yang tempting utk dimakan, so die pun lompat, n tanpa dapat dikawal, lompatannye terkeluar dari kolam... huahua...zzzzz...  every morning i check out around the pond kalau2 ada aro yang lompat keluar. rupenya, ada hari ni...zzzz.. nk letak dalam kolam supaya cepat besar, well, thats the risk,... it may jump out any time. this is the second time aro lompat keluar.. last time was a Yellow Tail Arowana... also dead. :( zzzz

Then i planned to go out... to a fish store in town.... i got a parking, but before shutting down my jazz, my mum called again... this time, i have to bring back the bmw, go and pump the tyre.. its quarter flat... i was a little surprised. unfortunately, i have to cancel my actual plan to the fish store (ingt nak survey aro... hehe) ... so i headed to my mums place to bring the car back.. bile tgk tayar tu,...mmg mcm da kurang angin... waduh... ape hal pulak ni... kene paku ke?. or koyak ke?... xkn la den bawak 160km/h semalam, tayar leh jd cmni?... zzzz.. 

Then i took out the manual booklet, tgk2 la skit psl warning indicator ni... bagus juga technology BMW ni... kat mane2 je ade sensor.... Amazing.!~~ even tyres pun ade pressure sensor.. kenapa our local cars not as hi-tech as  German-made cars?...... all these should come standard to any car.....  then i drove the car to the nearest petrol station.. nak cuba pump la kononnya...haha.. unfortunately,... nak pump pun x bole.... zzzz.. da risau da..  apo kono eh jang?.. pastu when driving in a straight line, the steering slowly turing right... huhu... sah mmg ade problem...!!

Then call abah... cemano ni bah?... zzzz.. xtau ape problemnya... then i bw la kereta tu pg kedai tayar yang terdekat.... minta org tu check ape yg x kene dgn tayar depan sebelah kanan ni...  die pn check... and it happend to be,.. valve tu yang koyak skit... huhu... sbb tu tyre  lose pressure... so die pn tuka je valve tu... it cost just Rm5.... nasib baik la..... mula2, ingtkn problem besar,.. brape ratus la pulak ni nak melayang... huhu... orang tu pun da geleng je kepala bile tgk run-flat tyres... die kata harga jauh beza ngn tayar biase....  kitorg pun borak2 la pasal tayar ni.... die ade brand Michelin, Bridgestone, tp yang bukan run-flat... cost about RM310-430 untuk 1 biji... of coz Michelin tu lg mahal... when asked bout run-flat tyres, 1 biji about a thousand plus.... gilo...!!`huhu

In the car menu, i initialized the new tyre  pressure, and the tyre warning indicator has gone off... hiuuh... Then i came back home, feeling a little happy coz it wasn't a big problem... but somthing worries me... dat guy said, all 4 tyres may not last long coz dah sampai at minimum thread level... so, its recommended to change all four tyres.... pulak dah.... huhuhu...

lepas tu, den merayap la kejap ngn kereta tu.. hehe... pegi kedai ikan jap kat S2, dekat ngn umah... beli mealworm, superworm, lipan, n udang kecik. semuanye untuk pearl arowana(jardni) yang ada dalam bilikku..hehe... lipan arini nmpak besar.. lbh kurang sejengkal. tu rm3. then mealworm 1 cup  rm1, then superworm 18 ekor rm1, udang pulak 1 cup rm1... mewah benor  makanan aro tu...zzzz.. kne control diet die nk bg color cantik... orang kata, bg makan lipan, lagi naik color.. xtau la btol x... tu yg nak try tu... haha...

pastu, petang tu call auto bavaria sungei besi.. tanye bole x tuka tayar kat sane..... rupenya bole... ingtkn auto bavaria buat servicing jer....  the same brand, model and size cost RM 1148 a piece...times four is around 4600.. tu belum masuk pulak alignment and balancing...waduh... cekik darah tol a.bvria nih.... kene gak tambah few hundred lg tuh.

then, afternoon kluar ngn parents pg survey2 kedai tayar... pg few places.. byk kedai yang xde run-flat tyres... mayb market kat seremban ni x byk org guna kot... huhu... kat authorised dealer Michelin pun ade pegi... inquired the same size, and model dengan yang currently using now... 205/55/R16.  Michelin Pilot Primacy. pun around nine hundred plus sebiji..... tapi  abah pula  x berkenan coz made in thailand... yang ori skrg made in france... so kalu bleh nk same, france jgk... mmg ssh nak cari yang camtu... coz actuly the car was assembled in germany, so assuming the nearest michelin factory kat france, dats y la now using made in france punye....zzzz

At last,... we found a good place... boss kedai tayar tu kenalan parents i, n was a neighbour to my grandma last time...  so leh la dpt murah skit.... Michelin Pilot Primacy, exactly da same size, and made in france.. about 8 hundred plus sebiji...tp kene order pula...   ada offer Michelin skrg... dpt floormat lg,... n water bottle... so kira2, about 3300 kalu tuka all 4 tyres... if honda jazz,. 700 je bole tuka all 4... thats the price difference btwn normal tyres, and run-flat tyres....

yang bagusnye run-flat tyres ni,... if ade tayar pancit ke,.. kte xyah susah2, peluh2 nak tuka tayar... coz it can still run... as long as below 80km/h la.. but not too far of coz. about 120km bole lg... then, the weight of a spare tyre can be eliminated, coz those type of cars doesnt carry spare tyres...Thus, more boot space....  pastu pulak,.. kalau yang tayar biasa, yes, ade spare tyre,.. but only 1 spare. mcm mana kalu 2,3 or 4 tayar yang pancit dlm satu masa?... haaaaa.. jawab!?~ Those are the points for having such RSC technology (Runflat System Component)...  of cause its costly, but with good reason and benefit for it. Pay more for less work?.... but not all cars can use this type of tyres... bmw has specially design the suspension to adapt to rough road surfaces, and when the tyres are flat.   

So still have to wait a few days for them to order the new tyres we require..... zzzzzz.

Dats all for this time....

2nd April 09~~ Thursday.

My sixth day on foreign land... amazingly, while im there those few days, every morning bole pulak bangun pagi.. hehe.   rasa mcm awal je bgn.... 

Today,... i x pg bandung town.. earlier, we planned to shop once again kat FOs at Jalan Riau... cam best la kat situ compared to FOs at Jalan Dago... huhu. but it happened to be, on that day mera kene pg univ die... amik result.... So i started thinking about my results too at that time....mine will probably come out the  coming monday...[thank God, Alhamdulillah it happen to be good:D ]

So, we had to cancel all plans to shop at Jln Riau.... huhu.zzz.. that morning.. i tried to get around town myself by taking angkut to Jatos... they call it Jatinangor Town Square..

5th Day @ Bandung

1st April 09~~ Wednesday. 

This time, Mera bawa i naik DAMRI!!!~~ ;) BUS!.. -we took breakfast together, then naik angkut to the bus stand... near her uni.. more less like B737 seat arrangement, 1 aile,  but only 5 in a row.

 macam bas outing ke Bahau..zzzz (time2 skola dlu)...

That day, we planned to shop at Pasar Baru....  It took about an hour or so from Jatinangor to Bandung town. Throughout the journey, there were some entertainment in the bus... after exiting the highway, there was an old man, came in with his hand made guitar.. was exactly behind me.. started playing few own songs,.. and at the end, collected so called 'fee' from generous donors (like mera.. hehe)... after that, another guy came in, reading the headines from a magazine, with the intention to attract people to buy the edition... and come another one, reading some articles, and asking donations for an orphanage organization... Some locals were generous. even some coins will be good enough. well at least something.... 

Then, we had to take another angkut to Pasar Baru...   kat situ, banyak kedai2 kain... batik, sutera, etc... pastu byk jgk 'te-te' yang cun... hahaha...  shopping few hours there.... then we had lunch at the food court...

This time, i tried Nasi Tutuq Oncom.... pelik btol nama..zzzz... i had fruit tea. cost me about 20k. food & drinks.. not bad. 

Then off we went to another shopping complex. ape ek mera?... lupe pula name tempat tu...zzzz. but i have the photos. Wut i remembered, kat situ i shopping barang2 kat supermarket je... kononnye2 nak bawa blk msia.. buat berat beg je...zzz.

Then nk rehat2 kejap.... both of us pg kat food court... sambil2 mkn mini ice-creams..:D... 1 holder to bole isi 5 mini ice creams... cute.. we cn pick the flavour... cost only around 6k...

Kita singgah kat McD kejap, bungkus for dinner... hehe... What i wanted to try was..........Triple Cheeseburger!!!! yummieee~~~ ta-pow blk bilik makan....

To get back to the bus stand, we had to naik 1 angkut... ada pula entertainment that time... ade 2 guys naik angkut sama, then buat show..zzzz.. mera yang generous pn menghulurkn bantuan... baik btol die ni...hehe.  pic on the right.... mera n i, kat dalam angkut... :)  die ni la yg pakse naik angkut... zzz.. haha... 

 we waited for quite long for the bus to depart... huhu....

 

sempat la amik gamba skit.... these pics were taken from inside the bus..

Fixed fare. Rp3200. To and from anywhere the bus goes...zzz

On the way balik,... this time, no entertainment,... ada beberapa incident yang menyentuh hati penulis. Tiba2, bas berhenti di bahu jalan untuk menurun dan mengambil penumpang. naiklah seorg gadis kecil, berusia kira-kira 6-7 tahun... dia masuk,  menyanyi sambil bertepuk2 tangan...  terharu melihat keberanian dan ketabahan adik kecil itu cuba meneruskan kehidupan dengan mengharapkan sedekah dari orang lain..... bukan dikatakan mengemis... tetapi ada perkhidmatan kecil yang dilakukan kononnya untuk menghiburkn orang ramai...  tiba pula di satu lampu isyarat, kelihatan di luar, seorang kanak2 lelaki berusaha meraih simpati dari penunggang2 motosikal, dengan membersihkan motosikal yang berhenti seketika di lampu isyarat itu... satu lagi perkhidmatan kecil yg tidak pernah terlintas di fikiran penulis.... bagaimana kreatif dan tabah mereka 'bekerja' dan bukan mengemis...  penulis berasa sebak melihat kesusahan sesetengah org di situ....dapat melihat dengan mata sendiri kesusahan di bumi ini....  bersyukurlah kita di malaysia. cukup semuanya... tidak sesuai dikatakan 'berbangga menjadi rakyat malaysia'.. but i think its wise to say 'bersyukur menjadi rakyat malaysia'....

skema pulak ayat2 last ni ye....zzzz.. feeling skit... hehe... tp betul... rase bersyukur la kte kat msia. semua ni pengalaman dan kesedaran mase ade kat sana... 

End of day 5~~

Tah cmne i suke plak brand Burberry nih... (Jusco mane ade Burberry)... hahaha:D  Burberry, Autograph, Nike.  

3rd Day @ Bandung

30th March 09~~ bout 5.50 da bgn.. pstu x bole nk tdo...  Today, mera plan nak bawa pg Kawah Putih (KP). Tempat bekas gunung berapi. My sis went to Tangkuban Parahu. Tp mera recommend  pg Kawah Putih, so i follow u.... hehe;)

That morning, around 9am, pak kereta sewa tu picked me up first bawa kereta Avanza black color. then pg ke rumah mera di Jalan Caringin. Some of her friends(soon become my frens too. hehe) pun ikut same.  Salmi, Nisa, and Aizon... Last minute aizon nk ikut... haha. so we waited for her to get ready. while waiting, pg la topup kejap kartu XL yg beli mase 1st day aritu... kat sana, nk topup, sebut 'pulsa'... 

we went to a supermarket just about a hundred meters away from the Jln Caringin junction where i stopped by to topup my mobile number.. i was at shocked when i saw chicken heads being sold at the supermarket..zzzzz.. i wonder how do the locals cook and serve this chicken heads...yaikss.. looks disgusting to me..huhu. 

Then i saw few Gouramies. Ikan Kaloi dlm bahasa melayunya... nmpk macam ikan kaloi sungai... confirm bukan ikan kaloi sabah, mahupun ikan kaloi emas...hehe.

Then all of us bertolak la ke KP. Perjalanan agak jauh.... bout 2-3 hours... mcm2 la nmpk on the way.... ade sawah padi kat celah2 kedai lg...zzzz. secara kecil2an je... at some point, mula la jalan utk naik bukit, on the way, sangat banyak kebun2 strawberry. lots of small strawberry farms along the way nk ke KP. smakin tggi kte naik bukit tu, lebih banyak kebun2 kecil yang kelihatan. ade juga ladang yang besar. Most of the farms kat situ, offer visitors to pick strawberries on their own with a small amount of fee of coz. then to bring back the picked strawberries, they will charge according to the weight. All of us plan to stop by on the way back nanti. But unfortunately, in the end we all tak sempat untuk singgah petik strawberry..zzzzz..huhu...

We reached the Kawah Putih entrance after more than 2 hours journey... Then kena bayar pula.zzzz 20k per pax. huhu.. we saw a board stating 10k fee for visitors... i guess mayb they knew we are Malaysians, so they took advantage charging us double the amount. zzz... Nvm then.. its just around Rm6 plus anyway... we proceed further in the jungle, and 10 minutes later, we arrived...

Left pic, i was at the parking area. there are so many stalls selling merchandise, strawberries, and stuff.

We had to walk a hundred meters to the main attraction point. The real 'Kawah Putih'.

(Pic on the right). The stairway down tu KP. From left is mera, aizon, nisa, and me. 

The atmosphere was pretty cold. my long sleve shirt isnt enough to keep me warm..zzz luckily i brought my windbreaker...;) mera already warned me that the place is as cold as Genting Highland....

Then we walked down, and proceed.

All these pics masa kat Kawah Putih.

Me and my new friends. Salmi, Aizon and Nisa....:D  (Mera old friend... haha:-P)

We spent about an hour plus kat KP... Then off to Batu Cinta.. (Love Rock) yeahhh;)   

Less than an hour further ahead KP... Theres a damn huge lake kat situ... nama tempat tu, 'Situ Patengan'... area Ciwidey... 

These pics, mase kat tasik tu.... kene naik boat or 'itik' untuk ke Batu Cinta... I naik itik dgn Salmi... Aizon pula share itik dgn Nisa.. kite race.. haha...

Mera tak ikut... die takut naik itik.. hahah.. actually its quite scary jgk... coz the lake is bloody huge... i pn cuak kalu ape2 trjd kat tgh2 tu..zzzzz

Sewa itik about 30k per pax kalu x silap i... thats for 1 hour... its just nice utk kitorg... to head to Batu Cinta naik itik bout 20mins cycling. then spend some time took some pics kat sana, then balik another 20mins to cycle...;) excercise... (salmi xyah pg aerobic that nite)..haha:D   

The sun was hot, but humidity was fine. i didnt sweat that much. its a cool place.

These pics was at Batu Cinta. Surrounded by the lake, and tea plantations. Amazing scenery. Very nice view from the top.. ;)

Then, cycle balik itik tu... then some of us beli strawberry. Salmi beli banyak... i just bought 1 packet je..zzz. 5k only.... i think 1 packet tu bole isi lebih kurang 50 biji kot... btol x u all?....zzz..

 

Then we went to look for a place to makan....:) finally we found 1. This time, i tried Nasi Padang pula..... Cost me Rp10k. (inclusive of Fruit Tea drink)..  mcm nasi campur la kat malaysia... amik lauk sayur pucuk ubi, n juga sotong... the locals call it 'cumi'... ;)   Since then i started to call salmi cumi.... hehehe:D cute je bunyinye....;)
Jangan marah ye salmi..... saje mengusik... hehe. pastu dalam kereta, x sudah2 nk sebut cumi... cmbest je sebut cumi... :D melekat dlm kepala ni smpi skrg... haha

 

After that, our last destination for that day was PVJ. Paris Van Java.... marvelous place... dlm shopping complex ade mcm garden... konon2nya mcm kat paris nye concept la tu.... haha.... another attraction to me was, ade kolam ikan koi kat toilet... ikan tu bole swim pegi ladies toilet, n swim pegi toilet lelaki....  sronoknye ikan tu... hahaha.. creative ;)

Simple dinner for me that night... Just bought buns at Bread Talk... Salmi n Nisa menikmati Sushi berdua-duaan... Whereas mera, Aizon, n me, kitorg jalan2 je....

Then balik,... titoooooo

Thats about it on my third day in Bandung ~~

Then da petang.. At 6 da mula gelap. Maghrib. Lepas jalan2 kat BIP, just across the road ade Merdeka Arcade. FO jgk. lama jgk kat situ.. tp x beli apa2.. mera berkenan kat 1 jacket putih ni... tapi x beli juga... sebab die x beli la, jaket tu terus menghantui beliau sehingga die membelinya pada 2-3 hari selepas itu... hehehe

We all balik Jatinangor aftr that. Bout 40 mins la naik kereta.. ikut highway. ade tol.  traffic in bandung town is always bad. so dats why lambat sampi umah. onthe way back, we stopped at a stall by the road side. Tahu Sumedang. Very popular local treat.

Sumedang stands for the province, and it is just a simple fried 'tahu', makan with cili api. or can be eaten without cili.. taste good. Mera beli byk utk dibawa balik... share ngn housemates. Thanx ;)  bole buat breakfast lg next morning... hehe

Then, sampai rumah pun around 9pm.... damn tired. whole day jalan2..  huhu. baru 2nd day. still have 4 days to go jalan2 cmtu...
