"Testing 123"

Due to standard theme colour of my bike, silver with blue stripe, I decide to paint it with new colour before i proceed with bobber bike project. So decided to D.I.Y and pearl white is the colour.

So 1st step, strip down the bike :




And it will look like this :



Then use sand paper to take out the lacquer surface :



Before spray anything, make sure you cover all the crack, hole etc with sealant, in this case i use fiber sealant :




Then, gosok again till the surface really smooth:



Next step, spray with primer coat :



Then based colour, white..pure white :



Taraaaa:



Remember, do not spray anything during night time or raining time else you will have to use hair dryer like me to speed up the process (thanks Neuqe Naq for the hair dryer :P)....



Then it's time for the pearl white colour:

Tips, jangan mengatal-gatal nak usik cat yang belum kering, or else, you have to repeat the same process again..I've learn my lesson..

Tadaaaa:



End of day one, and time to sleep......



Last step assemble it back and you done!



Thanks to Master Paint , Sylbi for great spray technics, Neq Naq for hospitality and time sacrificing, and Master Signature, Mr. Lipas...

"Tragedy"

"Apehal ramai gile orang kat Petronas nih"...my mind keep asking as i went to Petronas Bukit Antarabangsa for refuel my bike, on my way back to my apartment..I saw police, ambulance and bomba's cars rushing in....

"Ade rumah terbakar kot.." me, guessing...Finished refuel, ride back to home and went to sleep...

9.30 a.m, my phone rang...

"Woi! lain kali call angkat la..ko idup lagi?" ask Jamil...

"WTF! idup la wei..apesal?" me, replied..

"Aku dengar ade landslide kat Bukit Antarabangsa? Ko dekat kan?" replied Jamil...

Then I know landslide happened at Bukit Antarabangsa, almost 1 kilo from where i stayed..I received few phone calls asking bout my safety...from the calls i know that there are still people who care bout me..hahaha...I also called few people that stay at Bukit Antarabangsa asking for their safety, thank god they all safe.

Woke up, took a quick bath and went to Sg. Buloh to pick up my new bike...damm relief....stop by at my biker friend's house and start do some modification on bike... than i received a sms saying that our company setup a relief center at Bukit Antarabangsa due to the tragedy and need some volunteer..On the way back, I stop by at the relief center, give some help if needed.

As for what i saw, the landslide quite bad..14 houses were crushed by the landslide..3 people died and 15 injured...it was chaos due to the only road for go in and out into the area were blocked by the landslide, make 3000 to 4000 other residences stranded. Electricity and water supplied were cut off..it bad, a lot of people trying to help but still there are some bastards trying to gain profit(eg. 1 mamak restaurant in the area raise up their prices during the tragedy)....

As per telecast by the media, including this incident, that area(which currently where i stayed right now) is prone to landslides. Almost 15 incidents happened starting from Highland Tower tragedy on Dec 1993...

For pic, just google it...

Sekian, vCoke melaporkan dari Ulu Kelang area...I think I'll start looking for a new place to stay..
