Fixing my scratched rim

The other day I was blur when parking my car, it was the same freaking spot I’ve been parked for months and I did not make it and scratched deep on the rim! So I tried to fix it with the spraying knowledge I gained back in my BMX biking day.

Fixing tools

First, getting the tools. One masking tape, one 400 sand paper, one 1000 sand paper (should be higher I bought wrong :( ), one spray can – #48 Sparkling Silver (was looking for metallic grey which has more similar colour).

Taped

Tape around the scratches area.

Sanded

Sand it nicely, but I did it too much, due to the 400 and using my finger! How stupid can I go.

Sprayed

Spray it a bit to cover the scratches mark.

Scratches mark

Then, the result isn’t that nice though, since it was silver and the rim looks more greyish.

Touch up

So did a final touch up, using the 1000 sand paper again.

And a few light spray around the area.

Scratches removed

Looking good though I failed on a few part, like using finger and using heavy sanded paper. But it works nonetheless :D

Nasi Lemak 2.0

I would say this is the truely 1Malaysia movie. Though I do felt annoyed when Namewee trying to threaten government for the fund.

This movie comes from a Chinese point of view, starting off with studying in China. Basically it built all the culture in Malaysia into this movie, that include the bad side as well. I do enjoy the movie.

Stealing credit card information?

I first heard of RFID blocking wallets from my friend who hold 3 credit cards. So I check…

I hold one credit card before, but I terminate it because I hardly use it. Without using it, I would need to pay for the RM50, which is just not worth it in my stand point. The thing is, there is this new thing called “Wave”, wave and the machine get the information… Wait… Maybe this is the idea from those who stealing the credit card identity.

I don’t really get why we need credit card anymore since we have debit card can work exactly the same way…

Technology, can be really complicated and helpful in the same time!

Speed is getting slow

I don’t know why my working speed has been greatly reduced. Years back, it took me just 2 hours top to finish a website, 3 for a WordPress theme. Now… It takes more than 5 hours for just one WordPress theme.

I wander around the house just now and keep thinking why the productivity dropped so much, that I cannot come out with 2 full themes in one day… And I got half of it right.

ClockThe WordPress hooks getting more and more. Back in the day, when it is still 2.9 version, it has only a few files to work on and few hook, the rest, go and look for a plugins. But with all the add-on today, a lot more files to go through and a lot more syntax to take care. When there are hooks ready to be use, I will go and use it, push down all the unecessary resouces for plugins.

I think my right arm is getting weak, clicking and typing is not as fast now too. If you ask me what is the great gifts for men, I will say a great partner, so I can take less burden on work now…

Reverse physcology?

Reverse I don’t know if you notice that, there are lots of TV public service announcement telling you about how well this country is, how harmony there is, how all races is going well together in Malaysia. Especially since Independent days is coming.

My friends and I mostly just ignore that, or comment how bad the commercial was made. But woman, has another thought.

“Why are you guys telling yourself how nice is this country? That commercial should be place in BBC not in RTM lah!”

Maybe she is right, the answer to her question is the key to why those announcements are made.
