ZX6-R ..motor idamanku

ZX6 muffler
zx6 R
mok
In the process to get my first supebike, KAWASAKI ZX6 R.

aku dalam dilemma nih...cewahh
time aku nak beli , mcm2 offer dtg. nak jual 2nd hand ..ramai juge yg offer Fireblade 954, 900RR .tapi terms cash tu yg aku kurengg sikit.
kalau nak puas hati ,baik angkat 900cc betoi tak?tapi takut tak larat sbb tank besor sgt je.

tapi aku lebih berkenan kat Zx6R- ekzos kat bontot tu..tapi sampai sekrg Ambank senyapp aje ..tungguuuu ..aku join korang bila aku dpt motor la yea...baru boleh test powerr.


beli bang jangan tak beli...
tetiba teringat moto hurricane la pulak

View all 6 photos...
took a morning flight ,1030am to Sciphol,Amsterdam...reached there about 1230pm..check-in Beethoven Hotel,Beethovenstraat.. transport yg kat airport tu murah aja,naik shuttle dlm Euro11,semua pakai duit Euro.
Naik tram, singgah kat Museumplein .a lot of museum at this area.among them are Rijkmuseum,Van Gogh museum . then jalan2 samapi ke HRC..beli baju ..then depan sikit (luckily ada peta..;tapi aku lebih confident kalau just follow tram railtrack..so taklah sesat..aku jalan dari Leidsplein sampai ke Centraal Station (city train station).

Köpenhamn.

Copenhagen,here i come
The Little Mermaid Statue
Amalienborg+Frederiks Church
View all 7 photos...
i begin my journey to Denmark on last Friday,3 June,1130pm ..taking the train at Cental Station ..since they allowed dogs and any other animals to go in, bayangkan bau kencing anjing dll tu..busuk gila..campur dgn muntah org kat tangga..hishh the worst train station i have ever been .suppose the best & efficient train system but this thing makes me feel..

Ok..seat dia lain macm sikit,bcz of 2nd class,kene duduk tempat sempit mcm dlm bilik,got 6
seats..so 3 seat each separated by small table.nothing much yg boleh tgk sbb dah malam..tidor aja la

reached Malmo 630am..hungry like hell..looking for cafe but it's like a ghost town..satu
kedai pun tak bukak lagi..then i begin my photoraphy session

Depart to Copenhagen at 705am..takes abt 35mins..lalu Oresund bridge..world longest single
bridge ,caryying road and railway traffic.,connecting Malmo & Köpenhamn.
http://www.oresundskonsortiet.com

had a bfast in Central Station,mkn dlm 48kr.,salmon sandwich.then walk through Radhuspladsen..and take bus no 26 straight to Langelinie ,where the main tourist attraction
are situated. 'The Little Mermaid' is a must 'do' for all tourist..and it's true, upon reaching there are about 3 tourist buses..

Just 10mins. walk.there are a harbour,Esplanaden ,open to public and this where MAERSK HQ
located.(the world's leading shipyard).

Then ..jalan2 lagi ke Amalienborg, palace for Danish Royal family.http://www.copenhagenpictures.dk/amalborg.html

Lps. tu ke Nyhavn, center for recreational.,used to be Copenhagen harbour.

T-Central

nama dia els ericsson
teksi paling mahal rate dlm dunia
train t-bana
View all 13 photos...
Semalam pergi T-Central naik SJ kat Stockholm Sorda / Stockholm-s...dia lbh kurang T-bana tapi train dia buruk & lembab pulak tu..saja nak try bcz the J station is about 50m away from my aptmnt.

i have plan to tour Denmark..so semalam tanya schedule,tiket ..very convenient,even u can buy using the kiosk(mcm ATM ) and u have the choice using High speed train (can reach Copenhagen in 5hours) or Intercity train(12hrs)..tapi tiket dah nak abis plus bit expensive..sbb lagi dekat date kita beli lagi mahal..mcm Air Asia la.
nak beli kat internet pun boleh..http://www.sj.se/
Train station is very huge building..10 tingkat..most European train stop sini...nak pergi Berlin pun boleh.

Tadi makan dgn ofis mate fr UK..kat Kungshalen. Mkn kat kedai Iraq, kebab la apa lagi.
after that singgah kat cinema..but forget it..price for Star Wars is 90kr. (RM45)

hari tu ada sorang pompuan kat Gamla Stan tanya if I need to get asylum, she would happy tohelp..aku dlm hati..pehall minah ni...HELLOOOO...do I look like Pakistani?
ha haa...i said ,no thanks..I love my country & glad to be Malaysian.

But ..one thing for sure. Sweden is a very generous country. ..(no wonder their TAXES very HIGH)
makan pun kene tax 20%..but it's refundable ..bila kita beli barang lebih dari 200kr

Even jobless person pun dapat 'pocket money'
If u a single parent, u can claim for parental care etc.

There are no RED LIGHT DISTRICT here ... ..where 'SELLING' is legal but 'BUYING' is illegal..(this what the swede say)
so moreover those crap is forbidden here..maybe because there are more women in their government than anywhere else..that's true.


aku kat sana mungkin dalam 18 bulan kot, aku wat info sec kat kth, kista Wed 1-Jun-2005 10:13

apsal ko tak luku jek ubun2 minah tuh? pas tuh ko geleng2 kepale skit sambil buat pooraaah cit ala2 karam singh walia.

pakistan? skit2 ade le. kalo jln ngan as*m p*ti musti org ingat adik bradik.

stay at home ..cookin'

sorry kawan2..nothing much i would like to update..
Just stayed at home..last night as well..the main reason is because of the weather
it has been raining everyday and the temperature almost dropped to 8C...gila ke mau keluar..nak hisap rokok pun tangan terketar2..mulut pun dah keluar wap aja..since the apartment is equipped wth kitchen,so ..I cook my dinner...just simple..masak ikan salmon goreng..telur then ada tomato,salad..freshh tuu
terasa nak mkn cili ..tapi..mahal..almost rm50 /kg.
lupakan...taruk pepper byk2 le..

semalam tgk CSI..
right now ..1030pm..watching LIVE Football match..Hungary vs France..France leading by 2-1.

Posted by:budu bjairimi@yahoo.com

tapi sedapla lagi Nasi ayam ayang ...

just one thing..the 'kiasu' just go wthout reply my msg..such an asshole guy!
aku tunggu la ..ingatkan dia tak bangun lagi..rupa2 dia kat ofis dah...wut an idiot guy..keep telling me never got my msg..jackass..that's why i hate jalan2 dgn dia..

sampi ofis 1015am..terus amik kunci apt..

Hotel..free!!!..just bayor internet conn. je..125Kr..
Teksi..139kr..naik Volvo S80!
FRIT(in Svenska)=Free

So..I have some plan for my next weekend..
I will go to :
1.Birka-- a Viking old town
2.Royal palace
3.City Hall--stadhusset


tak lunch pun ..beli cookies aja..(9kr) dari Pressbyran..tpt ni mcm 7 Eleven le..tapi every station ada Pressbyran..so convenient.
Manjali tak balik lagi.she's still in UK..her origin is Sri Lanka.dia ckp sana ramai boleh ckp Melayu..kira Malay ancestors le.
so according to Petter, we had to postpone the installation..aduhh...brapa kali da,..but he's very bz now doing upgrade for Tele2 and Brasil Telecom..nampak muka pun mcm baru bangun tidor aja.


Hmm..just got his info from Malaysia.
Akademi Fantasi-AF3 dah start ??..hehe..adoi...makin kaya la.telco2 M'sia..nak2 Maxis

"Pengetua Akademi Fantasia musim ketiga ini, M.Nasir mengambil peluang untuk berkenalan dengan para pelajarnya. Sememangnya M.Nasir pernah menyatakan ciri-ciri yang di cari dalam setiap pelajar iaitu ciri-ciri 'performer'. Merungkapkan ayat yang pernah diperkatakan 'What it takes to be a performer', beliau telah menujukan soalan kepada setiap pelajar untuk dijawab iaitu Apakah maksud 'performer'? dan Apakah perbezaan antara 'performer dan 'entertainer' atau penghibur?"

-aku nak tengok sgt pasal M Nasir aja..yg lain tu 'acting' aja lebih2...SIFU..u 'da man..
tapi kali ni AF will take major shakeup .esp with M Nasir in the background..I think he will try to change AF from being 'jiwang2' or 'slapstik' or 'stereotype' to more meaningful level of performance art (just like what he did before)..Just my 2 cents worth..try to watch "Kembara Seniman Jalanan" for example..old story, I am in Standard 1 I guess . Isn't it a great movie to 'kickstart' the journey to be performer?

Sifu will look at different angle of 'great perfectionist' singer..so maybe the song for those students will be more poetic ,i guess and agak 'hard'/keras sikit..
who knows maybe AF3 will produce another high pitch singers ..just like we have back in 80's...Amy Search,Awie..bla-bla..(need I say more..for all those great moments in Malaysia music industries)
Speaking of SIFU..he had produced lot of albums for great rock groups like SEARCH , SPYDER..etc
well..those groups are famous bcz of the great 'touch' by SIFU ..let alone the skillfull and mastery of the group members as well.


setuju!!! Wed 1-Jun-2005 02:50
Posted by:maruko  - [Link]
huih..dah dok jauh pon review pasal af3 gak? balik sini ngk ulangan le weh..

Into the Heart of Old Town,GAMLA STAN

HRC Stockholm
Tugu
Riksdagen
View all 24 photos...
Baru balik dari Gamla Stan..can't stay any longer than 8pm i suppose bcz the temp. dropped tremendously..gigil aku dibuatnya.

Begin my journey to ...ohh yea..I got to see F1 @ HRC..so i was there from 2pm -330pm..
what a frustrating moment for all of Mercedes Benz McLaren(incl. me)..
Kimi ..oh i shouldn't blame him ..the mechanics la..mcmana lak tayar boleh pecah/tercabut!!
also having lunch..murah je..plus coffee in 'da house

sempat beli 1 baju utk kawan baik aku yg kat France tu..kita tukar suka sama suka yea bang..

Then...ambik train ke T-Central..then tukar train ke Kungstradgarden.

as usual..sessi fotografi pun bermula..

started from ..ntah apa ntah..nak sebut pun susah..nantila..--apa2 hal refer pic aja la..

1. Kungliga Slottet
-Royal Palace,built in 18th century,official residence of King of Sweden.
-consist of Hall of State,Royal Chapel,Treasury and Gustav's III Museum of Antiquities.

..then to the Heart of Old City, GAMLA STAN..

actually Gamla Stan is very good place to find souvenir..berlambak2..tapi kene pandai survey harga..
Kosta Boda (most famous crystal maker) pun ada..very nice crystal..dah jumpa dah satu ashtray..bentuk starfish..berat gila.mmg pure crystal..nak balik nanti aku beli la...harga about 200kr.
Then kalau nak pi kedai Viking pun ada..ni URL
http://www.handfaste.se/

makan sandwich je kat Irish pub..sedap jugak..dlm 70kr.

Few of my notes:

Gustav Adolfs Torg

Facing the Royal Palace, with the Royal Opera on your left, Gustavus III, patron of the arts, was assassinated here at a masked ball in 1792.

Walk across Norrbro (North Bridge) heading toward the Royal Palace, passing on your right the:

2 Swedish Parliament

The Parliament building at Helgeandsholmen dates from 1897, when its foundation stone was laid. It can be visited only on guided tours.

Along the bridge on your left are stairs leading to the:

3 Medeltidsmuseet (Museum of Medieval Stockholm)

This museum on Strömparterren contains objects and settings from medieval Stockholm, including the Riddarholmship and parts of the old city wall.

VÄLKOMMEN! --Historiska Museet!

Tekniska Museet
steam powered train
rotary engine
View all 18 photos...
Valkommen..

Swedish ppl are very serious lookin..mentang2 lah keturunan Viking..so serious..don't u ever try to start a conversation unless u are perfectly ready. to speak their mother tongue language,boleh le try sikit2...but language is not a problem here..can speak English everywhere.
..but be prepared from the unwelcomed face fr those thugs..'skinhead'+ tattoed ppl..


there just one thing that I hate most dgn perangai swedish. I would like to put some comment on the Tunnelbana (subway).Sometimes the train gets so dirty (of course they do allow passanger to drink,eat inside)and they allowed dogs too,but min. 2..Dogs here are very big.i don't know what species tapi nak dekat sama besar dgn keldai.. .
If u try travel dlm pkl 9pm above..there are tons of rubbish inside dgn newspaper , coffee stain,beer stain..muntah orang etc.

There are too much of drunken ppl around the station esp. after 11pm and on weekends..and even inside the train itself.
Couple of times I witnessed drunken man vomitted in the train and vomitted again and again along the way out from the station--happenned last night when i am on my way back from Kungstradgarden.
Also, last week policemen had to drag out a drunken man from his seat as he is fell asleep..


Kungstradgarden--The Royal Garden..are full of beautiful castle (I will keep u all updated..will go here tomorrow)


aiyaaa....esok F1 bro..and the boring part here is the cable TV is not provided and u had to pay yrself...whattt da' ****!! dah le MOTOGP pun terlepas..try jugak tgk kat Z-tv (kalau ada wording DIREKT tu maknanya it's a LIVE programme le)
so I have to squeeze my schedule bcz the race starts at 12pm Sunday. ..well..where should i go...HRC again ?better to look for another place ..
oh..by the way...Mat tUk,sharul..baju kau aku belum beli lagi..dun worry..sila arrange payment dulu ya...hehe..gurau je.

*************

saturday

just came back from my 'historical tour ' ...6pm..tgh hujan lebat..
Took a bus from Central (no 69) and alighted at Tekniska Museet. I had my breakfast there as well.
A lot the exhibits are coming from the 18 & 19th century engineering feat. such as generators,steam engine,combustion engine,turbines and couple of cars like Volvo and SAAB.
There are lot of engineering geniuses living around Sweden at that time and I could see some their inventions are still use till today such as hydro electrical station turbines .
(pls refer pics.)

From there I walked about 10mins. to Sjohistoriska Museet. Actually it's more to naval museum for me as most of the exhibits are ships; even as early as 16th century.
I really touched with all of their famous navy ships and no wonder they are among the world leading shipbuilders.

Ok...then after 20mins walk (the temperature starts to dropped tremendously, maybe because its going to rain) .forgot to bring muy glove also..apa lagi menggigil la
I arrived at Historiska Museet.It's rather easy to find ..just about 5mins walk from the bridge to Skansen,where Vasa Museet situated ..and my journey to the WORLD OF VIKING begins.....before that..lunch lah dulu brader..had my lunch at there..wah,,hari ni makan kat muzium aja la ..

Hail to the NORSEMAN...some says the Viking legend starts at Gottland Island..bcz of its strategic location maybe...and maybe most of us got some info that they are known as looters and pirates..well, it is true..but apart from that they are in the league of their own..u know ...most of the exhibits proved they are vicious warrior and have their own invention from shipbuilding,swords,textile machines and agricultural devices.

Apart from Viking stories, this museum also have collections of famous gold and they keep it in the Golden Room (Guld rummet).they are more than 52kg of gold and 200kg of silver and most of it from the famous Swedish treasures..some of it even from the trade with Islamic caliphs era.

lastly..my the sake of memorabilia..i bought a tshirt..mahal juga..tapi sbb ada gambor Viking..sanggup lakukan apa saja bapaknyaaa..


Clarion Hotel,
Ringvagen,Stockholm,
Sverige'.
28 May,8.30pm

p/s:tgh dgr lagu cindai,siti nurhaliza...,malas nak mandi lagi..sejuk oii..
okla..battery laptop aku dah nak habis dah ni.

*********history can enable us to put ourselves and our own age in perspective**********


plan for esok..

1. go to Kungstradgarden..and take pics of those historical castle
2. 12pm --go to place that show live F1..org Swedish nih bukannya minat ..lumba kuda okla
3. lunch
4. dinner
5. beli air mineral..susah..tak boleh boil water pun..tapi aku tgk kat restoran depa pun ambik air paip terus minum je..hmm.

BEST SWEDISH EXPORTS TO THE WORLD:

1. ABBA
2. IKEA
3. VOLVO
4. SAAB
5. ERICSSON-- wut' else..
6. ABSOLUT VODKA--made from potatoes!
7. ELECTROLUX
8. ABB
9. SALMON --don't eat sushi here ..they actually customized the sushi for their own taste
10. FREDDIE LJUNGBERG----betol lah..ARSENAL maa..Samurai, any comment?
11. MR. SVEN GORAN ERIKSSON -- I do admire his genius in football.


tgh tgk MTV JUKEBOX EUROPE..lagu Buddy Holly from WEEZER..any alternative music fans out there know abt this group?
just missed those moments at USM ,94-98, ..where alternative leads 'da way..
ntah mana dah CD , kaset aku semua dah hilang daa..
