Front lip got damaged while parking

Brian O'Connor — Wed, 16 Oct 2013 11:03:55 +0800

Morning guys.

I wanna ask your help about my situation here.

Last Sunday, while parking, at The Curve I didnt notice there is a small divider in front of me. I end up damaging the right part of the front lip of my car which is a Saga FLX SE model.

I tried to get the original front lip from the accesory shop but most of the accesosy shop here in my area don't sell the original part. I also went to the spare part shop behind Hospital Tawakal since my mom's friend advise me that the shop also sells genuine Saga FLX SE 1.6 original lip. But when I was there, the guy at the counter said to me it takes 1 month or 2 to get the item and summore need to buy the whole set, which cost about RM1XXX not including installation.

My last resort is going to Proton Service at my area which I havent go yet since they are close that time for festive season and they will be resume operation tomorrow.

My worry is, does Proton Service sells genuine part of Saga FLX SE or do I need to go to Proton factory at Shah Alam to get the part? Any place that I can get the original lip?

I don't want to change the front lip to the whole new sporty bodikit since my intention is to maintain its originality so its easy to sell it back ot trade in.

Please help advise and Thx.

Buka Puasa Date

Brian O'Connor — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 15:00:40 +0800

Dear all CC

I manage to ask a girl out for a buka puasa.

However, I really need advise on the suggestion for a great place for buka puasa date around Selangor (Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam or Sunway/Subang) since most of the place that I knew is just a mamak restaurant that I usually hang out with my friends. Would really appreciate if the suggested place also near to surau or got praying room for muslim.

ps: Is it not proper to having a dinner/buka puasa with a girl in a restaurant that serve a buffet? (you guys know la, rite now all places is serving a buffet due to Ramadhan promotion).

Thx for all the tip guys.

How to flirt practical student in office

Brian O'Connor — Wed, 17 Jul 2013 12:54:49 +0800

Hello everyone.

Really wanna seek advise from CC. Hear my story ya?

There is 1 practical student in my office, but she's in other department. However, I'm very close with her boss.

Yesterday, her boss introduced her to me via discussion (actually, it was her boss's plan to couple her with me silently). She's 4 years younger than me and still in final year. Reason why her boss want to introduce her to me becoz I'm the only guy who is still young in the office and not married yet.

During the discussion yesterday, we had a lot of talk about her experiences, what she learned here in the office and suddenly, her boss leave the table giving me a chance to know her more. At 1st, I was ackward coz I dunno what topic should I discuss with her, but little by little, I touched about topics outside from works i.e. place she likes to hangout, where she lives and how she come to work. She even gave me her phone number (but dunno isit for work purpose or its because I was the one who asked her and she feel pushed when gave her number to me coz wanna entertaint her boss's friend).

So today, I come to her work place and asked if I can kacau her. She said ok, but most of the conversations, she looks like too concerntrating with her work and makes me the one who need to start the topic. This time, I more touch into personal but slow2. Questions such as where she study, how's your study, what you usually do in free time, what movie/tv show you like, who's your favourite artist etc. But she's seems answering it with simple answer like "yes", no", or "I don't know". However she's still smiling during the whole conversation. In my observation, she's either a shy person, silent person or she's not comfortable with me but had to entertaint me becoz dun want to hurt my feeIing.

So, I wanna seek advise from you guys. Based on the above, do I still have a chance? What is my next move/what I need to do to makes her close to me or makes her comfortable with me. How can I make her attracts to me or like me.
TQ.

BTW Ask-for-lunch-tactic is a no since its Ramadhan. Dunno for Ask-for-berbuka-tactic coz is a bit worried due to she lives with her family, afraid that her family will worry if she come back late.

Please advise me CC otais, please~

Girl wearing ring

Brian O'Connor — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:11:23 +0800

I got 1 question here.

If a girl wearing a ring, is it she is married? Engaged? or wear it just for accessory and suka-suka?

Heard that it depends on type of ring or etc. But some of my female colleague also wear ring but she still single.

Can give advise coz there is 1 girl I wanna try flirt on but I saw she wear a gold ring but her title in email or letter is 'Cik' aka Ms., sked that she is already bini orang.

~█▓▒░ Anime Songs Playing Band v2 ░▒▓█~

Brian O'Connor — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 02:30:54 +0800

Yeah, we are on V2. and....

As per quoted from the predecessors of Bad Apples's band

Announcements (Updated September 11, 2011)
Performed at Animangaki 2011, Sunway University (Page 88)

Background

Previous Thread...

History... Since December 2008, the idea was to form a band that can play anime songs AT WILL. The thread started with many individual contributors, posting their own covers of their favourite anime songs. As usual in the music world - lots of guitar, bass and piano/keyboard players, but not many drummers and vocalists. Nine months passed with not much progress. Everyone was playing individually, but not as a band.

Turning point... On August 15, 2009, that changed when we procured our own drum set. It was a gamble - to entice someone to play the drums for us. Some tried, but none permanent. Unknowingly someone from under the same roof discovered a latent talent and started to learn the drums whole heartedly. The first 'band' piece, Kimi ni Todoke (TV Size), was a proof of concept.

The birth of the band... Then progress went exponential. With the video in place, more people believed in the band. Lovesummer came from way north to record the first complete song, God Knows, from the all too familiar anime series. Followed by an impromptu showing at the 2010 Games Anime and Comic Circle (GACC) at Multimedia University Melaka.

The tradition... One thing sets this band apart from any other - this band is fluid. We're open to new members and new ideas. We play live music as well as internet video collaborations. The band is a manifestation of the collective Malaysian anime and J-POP fan spirit. We play any genre - rock, ballad, traditional, jazz - so long as the guitar strings don't break, or the vocalists don't lose their voices, we will play.

Current position recruited : Vocalist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer and 2nd guitarist.
