            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/923293</link>
            <description>Is it possible to remove the restriction on the number of pictures we post in the travel and living section only ? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;example : &lt;a href='http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=923285' target='_blank'&gt;http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=923285&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i believe one should describe things with as many pictures as possible as a picture tells a thousand words.</description>

            <title>Restaurant Brother Yat</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/923285</link>
            <description>[Non Halal] &lt;br /&gt;Restaurant Brother Yat&lt;br /&gt;USJ industrial park - near Summit subang/giant/mydin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;N 03 02.819&lt;br /&gt;E 101 35.806&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my fav restaurants. &lt;br /&gt;Cheap and good. ordered 10 dishes for 8 people, bill was RM 260.&lt;br /&gt;Yea this place is located in an industrial area near Restaurant F4. I didnt go F4 coz it was full and i didnt quite like their chan sow lin curry fish head. So here i am to recommend u all, some really good exquisite food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009217m_54f027c.jpg&amp;srv=img37' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/1/f_01022009217m_54f027c.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009218m_ecd6dd7.jpg&amp;srv=img02' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/3/2/1/f_01022009218m_ecd6dd7.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ladies and Gentlemen, may i present to you,&lt;br /&gt;SAUNA PRAWN &amp;#33; &lt;br /&gt; Fresh live prawns, 1 cup of carlsberg beer, and a very hot hotwok. Beer is poured in, becomes sizzling, and then prawns poured in to absorb the beer taste. Wonderful dish. This is a &amp;quot;MUST ORDER&amp;quot;. Cantonese is called, &amp;quot;sauna har&amp;quot; = sauna prawn. its like the prawns are baked in a steam of beer vapor. Caution, alot of steam will come out and though a wonderful sight, the taste is even better than the sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009219m_b61da54.jpg&amp;srv=img32' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/3/2/1/f_01022009219m_b61da54.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009220m_0d0958e.jpg&amp;srv=img26' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/1/f_01022009220m_0d0958e.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009221m_4f65277.jpg&amp;srv=img34' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/3/2/1/f_01022009221m_4f65277.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loong Pan chu pou. - RM 60&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loong Pan fish, sliced, served with &amp;quot;shun chai&amp;quot; and a wide variety of cooking stuff. &lt;br /&gt;Taste is wonderful &amp;#33; also a &amp;quot;MUST ORDER&amp;quot;. My wife&amp;#39;s fav dish. worth the price believe me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009223m_93a735c.jpg&amp;srv=img26' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img26.picoodle.com/img/img26/3/2/1/f_01022009223m_93a735c.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009225m_a9dce77.jpg&amp;srv=img32' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/3/2/1/f_01022009225m_a9dce77.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another must order is the GREEN CURRY fish head. normally i would take &amp;quot;leng yue tau&amp;quot; but since it was CNY and we had a lot of heaty stuff already , we decided to skip this. But several years ago i ate here, it was good. i believe it still is. There&amp;#39;s only so much fish a man can take.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Siew Chu Sau [ Pork Knuckle ]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/1/f_01022009226m_5457de6.jpg' target='_blank'&gt;http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/2/1/...26m_5457de6.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;because i dont want to offend any of my muslim friends i decided to post the link to the picture i posted instead. &lt;br /&gt;This is also good, not too fat and not too soggy. Very nicely done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This next dish i have no idea what its called, i forgot how to pronounce it.&lt;br /&gt;all i can tell u is , its not a very unique thing but it was well done and well prepared. &lt;br /&gt;Oyster fried with &amp;quot;ham tan&amp;quot; with fish paste. Good for children. i call this &amp;quot;sai lou kor choy&amp;quot; meaning children&amp;#39;s dish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009228m_517cc3f.jpg&amp;srv=img18' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img18.picoodle.com/img/img18/3/2/1/f_01022009228m_517cc3f.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This chicken also is a &amp;quot;MUST TRY&amp;quot;. Very strong herbal taste but its not the herbs that you&amp;#39;d expect. my friend tapau this &lt;br /&gt;home cause we couldnt finish. the gravy he drank it all though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009230m_85366eb.jpg&amp;srv=img19' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/3/2/1/f_01022009230m_85366eb.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incomplete without vege. since i have a vegetarian on my table , i had to order 2 plates of greens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/2/1/f_01022009229m_486b2fb.jpg&amp;srv=img34' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/3/2/1/f_01022009229m_486b2fb.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kailan and choy tam. in addition i ordered XO taufu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In total i had 10 dishes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - Sauna Prawn&lt;br /&gt;2 - Kailan garlic&lt;br /&gt;3 - Choy tam garlic&lt;br /&gt;4 - Herbal chicken&lt;br /&gt;5 - claypot fish&lt;br /&gt;6 - fried oyster thing&lt;br /&gt;7 - Foo yong egg&lt;br /&gt;8 - pork knuckle&lt;br /&gt;9 - longan dessert&lt;br /&gt;10 - XO taufu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;total bill - RM 260 for 8 people.

            <description>Hi all,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just to share with you since the festive season is coming soon, hope it helps in your budgeting. I think its awfully important to plan ahead and not carry too much cash around since its pretty unsafe these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.plus.com.my/tollcalculator.asp' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.plus.com.my/tollcalculator.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The website above should be able to help calculate your expenses needed for toll money. I have no idea when it was updated nor do i have any idea when they will begin implementing a separate toll calculator for the discounted 10% past midnight calculation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy CNY and drive safe.</description>

I spent more than one hour looking and touching the car inside and outside. Before I go any further, I have good news to tell you all. Petrol price will go down by 10 sen per litre effective from 12.01 a.m. 16 December, less than 5 hours away. This means RON 97 petrol will only cost RM1.80 per litre, the lowest in 3 years. The new City is a real stunner. So sleek, sporty and stylish. Two cars were displayed, one Deep Lapis Blue Metallic S spec and one Crystal Black Pearl Black Metallic E spec. I checked out both cars.&lt;br /&gt;PART 1: First, I want to touch on the features which both specs have. The features are:&lt;br /&gt;1. 5 speed Automatic with Shift Hold Control&lt;br /&gt;2. Electric Power Assist Steering&lt;br /&gt;3. Tilt and Telescopic steering&lt;br /&gt;4. Front ventilated disc brakes&lt;br /&gt;5. Rear solid disc brakes&lt;br /&gt;6. Very big boot of 506 litres (bigger than Nissan Sylphy&amp;#39;s boot). Sylphy&amp;#39;s boot is 503 litres&lt;br /&gt;7. Halogen headlights&lt;br /&gt;8. Chrome door handles (Looks classy)&lt;br /&gt;9. 4 reverse sensors (2 for the side and 2 for the rear) just like Mercedes. Yes&amp;#33; 4 reverse sensors&amp;#33; Can you believe it? A first for Honda City&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;10. Vehicle Information Display which shows how many km can go before petrol tank is empty, odometer, km per litre (All in LCD)&lt;br /&gt;11. Hood insulator under the bonnet and boot lid&lt;br /&gt;12. Advanced Audio with CD player, USB and Auxilliary jack which can be used to connect iPOD, thumbdrive, MP3 player and all types of gizmos - seems this is the first of its kind in the world&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;13. Accessory socket&lt;br /&gt;14. Height adjustable driver&amp;#39;s seat&lt;br /&gt;15. Water repellent seats&lt;br /&gt;16. Front seat back pockets&lt;br /&gt;17. Vanity mirrors with lids&lt;br /&gt;18. Rear view mirror with Day/Night change&lt;br /&gt;19. 4 front cupholders&lt;br /&gt;20. Power side mirrors&lt;br /&gt;21. Map light and boot light&lt;br /&gt;22. Foot rest&lt;br /&gt;23. Front armrest&lt;br /&gt;24. Dual front airbags&lt;br /&gt;25. ABS, EBD and BA (Brake Assist)&lt;br /&gt;26. G-CON (G-Force Control Technology)and ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body&lt;br /&gt;27. Pinch free window for driver&amp;#39;s side&lt;br /&gt;28. Driver&amp;#39;s seat knee bolster&lt;br /&gt;29. Front seats pretensioner seatbelt with double load limiter&lt;br /&gt;30. 3 point rear seatbelt&lt;br /&gt;31. Front bumper beam and door beam&lt;br /&gt;32. High mount stop light&lt;br /&gt;33. Security alarm and immobilizer&lt;br /&gt;34. Ultrasonic sensor&lt;br /&gt;35. Wave Blade Keys&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PART 2&lt;br /&gt;Features which is only available for E spec:&lt;br /&gt;1. Fog light&lt;br /&gt;2. Door mirrors with turn lights&lt;br /&gt;3. Exhaust pipe finisher&lt;br /&gt;4. 16&amp;quot; alloy wheels (15&amp;quot; for S spec)&lt;br /&gt;5. Paddle shift&lt;br /&gt;6. Steering wheel audio control buttons&lt;br /&gt;7. Lhather steering wheel&lt;br /&gt;8. Leather gear knob&lt;br /&gt;9. 6 speakers (one speaker for each door and 2 tweeters at the A pillar, no speakers at the rear) S spec - 4 speakers (one speaker for each door, no speakers at the rear)&lt;br /&gt;10. Adjustable rear headrest (S spec rear headrest cannot be adjusted)&lt;br /&gt;11. Electric foldable door mirrors (S spec - door mirrors can only be folded manually by hand)&lt;br /&gt;12. Rear armrest with cupholder (none for S spec)&lt;br /&gt;13. Rear 60:40 foldable seats (S spec fixed seats)&lt;br /&gt;14. Rear reclining seats&lt;br /&gt;15. Rear sear undertray (none for S spec)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PART 3&lt;br /&gt;1. Interior seats and dashboard is black for both specs. This is better because won&amp;#39;t get dirty so fast.&lt;br /&gt;2. There is a special device under the bonnet which sucks in air from outside and cools the engine faster so engine is not so hot.&lt;br /&gt;3. Engine is located in the centre of engine bay, far away from the condenser and compressor.&lt;br /&gt;4. Air con vents can be found under back of front seats to make rear seat passengers cooler. Air-con cools car cabin fast so it is cooler inside.&lt;br /&gt;5. Petrol tank lid is opened by just pressing it, turn the round cover and hook it beside the lid, after finish pumping petrol, screw back the round cover which is hooked and press the lid. When the car is locked, petrol tank lid cannot be opened even if you press it. This is something new and is a Honda innovation.. There is no lever beside the driver&amp;#39;s seat to open the petrol tank lid. Very convenient to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PART 4&lt;br /&gt;1. Yes, seat and upholstery material for both specs are black but E spec has nicer material.&lt;br /&gt;2. Dashboard for both specs are black.&lt;br /&gt;3. E spec has rear seat under tray to put shoes and umbrella,&lt;br /&gt;4. I am very sure there are no speakers behind the rear seat for S and E spec and the tweeters for E spec are located at the A pillar (one at each A pillar). 4 speakers foor both specs with one each at each door panel.&lt;br /&gt;5. I din&amp;#39;t take anyu photos because all of you can view the car to your heart&amp;#39;s content starting from today.&lt;br /&gt;6. Nice colourful new Honda City booklet wil only be given out together with official price list starting from the official launching date this Thursday (18 December). SA has shown me the booklet but said he cannot give to me until 18 December.&lt;br /&gt;7. I will test drive the new City this coming Saturday (20 December) and post a review of ther test drive on Sunday morning for the reading pleasure of all you Honda City fans in this forum.&lt;br /&gt;8. You can download songs from the Internet into thumbdrive and link it to the supplied USB cable and play the songs on the advanced audio player which can play anything - radio, CD, iPOD, MP3, WMA whatever&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Australia Review: &lt;a href='http://www.carsales.com.au/car-review/2988992.aspx' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.carsales.com.au/car-review/2988992.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; A short review by forumer &amp;quot;icez&amp;quot;: &lt;a href='http://goldengaspedal.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-honda-city.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://goldengaspedal.blogspot.com/2008/12...honda-city.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Local Review by edvinteo: &lt;a href='http://www.edvinteo.com/pt/blog/default.aspx?id=377&amp;t=First-Drive-AllNew-2009-Honda-City-Gra' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.edvinteo.com/pt/blog/default.as...-Honda-City-Gra&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;b&gt;Links:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Official Brochure (thanks mamamee): &lt;a href='http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Attach&amp;type=post&amp;id=721722' target='_blank'&gt;http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...=post&amp;id=721722&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; New City Excitement Catalogue (thanks dororo): &lt;a href='http://www.sendspace.com/file/3iq5f3' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.sendspace.com/file/3iq5f3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; SG Brochure: &lt;a href='http://www.honda.com.sg/cars/PDF/city_catalogue.pdf' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.honda.com.sg/cars/PDF/city_catalogue.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Paul Tan&amp;#39;s coverage on 2009 City: &lt;a href='http://paultan.org/topics/cars/new-honda-city-2009/' target='_blank'&gt;http://paultan.org/topics/cars/new-honda-city-2009/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Motor Trader article: &lt;a href='http://www.motortrader.com.my/NUS/articles/article_1716/page_m.asp' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.motortrader.com.my/NUS/articles...1716/page_m.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[right][snapback]22157074[/snapback][/right]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

This reflects the current downward trend of fuel, food and commodity prices such as palm oil, which make up 80% of household spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We expect this reduction in inflation to continue. Although we don’t know whether we will be able to achieve the 3.8% consumer price index we saw in May this year, we can definitely get inflation under control below 7%,” he told reporters at his office here on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shahrir said he was also confident of a further price reduction in food items as the effect of a decline in the market price of many commodities such as flour had yet to kick in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The prices are coming down not due to poorer demand from consumers like what is currently happening in the United States, but from the reduction in commodity prices,” he said, adding that further reductions in prices of milk were also expected within this month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malaysia recorded the highest CPI at 8.5% in August.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shahrir said the Cabinet meeting on Friday also decided to have the Economic Council discuss the possibility of either continuing with the current managed float mechanism in determining petrol pump prices or to set a floor price for fuel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Any discussion for a floor price will take into account the possibility of losses suffered by the petrol station owners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;“The exco will meet on Dec 1 and we will decide then. Today, Malaysians are paying RM2 for each litre when the real petrol pump price should be RM1.60 per litre without government subsidy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is the first time Malaysians are paying more than the market price for petrol,” he said, adding that this was because the global price was declining at a drastic rate. Shahrir said Malaysians could expect another reduction in petrol pump price by Dec 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RM1.60 per liter eh ? &lt;br /&gt;i can start seeing rempits all over the place again.

We have actually arrived at a time when the price can return to RM1.92.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“In that context, we hope to be able to set a policy to address this when the National Economic Council next meets. A decision must be made on the floor price.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shahrir said that for six months from September 2001 to February 2002, the Government had collected taxes from the retail sale of petrol and had stopped that practice since February 2002.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Earlier announcements of how much the subsidies cost us, even as recent as 2005 or 2006 always included how much we had to forego in terms of taxes. We have stopped doing this however and just focused on how much subsidy we are paying.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shahrir said the Government was now enjoying some revenue due to the difference in the ex-refinery price and the price oil companies sell petrol to station operators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that the revenue being taken now was a form of tax that could max out at 60sen per litre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“After the station operators take their margin of 12.1sen and the oil companies take their margin of 19.1sen, we are left with RM1.69 from RM2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If the refinery price is RM1.30 per litre for example, the Government will be taking 39sen per litre as revenue.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shahrir also released information on the amount of fuel subsidies paid so far which have amounted to RM15.57bil as at the end of October.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuel subsidies last year cost the Government RM16.18bil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fuel subsidies in October amounted to RM610mil as compared toRM2.99bil in May when oil prices peaked at over US&amp;#036;120 per barrel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sos: &lt;a href='http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/11/18/nation/20081118134826&amp;sec=nation' target='_blank'&gt;http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...4826&amp;sec=nation&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;span style='font-size:29pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Piaggio Unveils a 141-MPG Plug-In Hybrid Scooter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/11/11/f_piaggioplugm_1968421.jpg&amp;srv=img37' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/11/11/f_piaggioplugm_1968421.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/3/11/11/f_piaggiomp3hm_724486b.jpg&amp;srv=img37' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/11/11/f_piaggiomp3hm_724486b.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italian scooter-maker Piaggio has unveiled a plug-in hybrid three-wheeler it says will get up to 141 mpg and could be on the road as early as next year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gas-electric version of Piaggio&amp;#39;s funky but fun MP3 scooter uses a parallel hybrid system much like that in the Toyota Prius but advances the technology by adding an electrical cord. Although Toyota, General Motors and several other automakers are developing cars that can be charged from a wall socket, Piaggio&amp;#39;s timeline, if met, would make it the first in the world to mass-produce a plug-in hybrid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MP3 Hybrid that Piaggio rolled out at the big international motorcycle expo in Milan, Italy,  combines a 125-cc gasoline engine with an electric motor in an easy-to-ride three-wheeler that reportedly could do zero to 60 in around 5 seconds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; We&amp;#39;re still trying to get ahold of the folks at Piaggio, but the electric motor powers the MP3 Hybrid at low speeds and provides the gasoline engine with additional oomph when you open &amp;#39;er up -- boosting acceleration by as much as 85 percent, the company says. The scooter can run in full electric or in one of three hybrid modes designed to maximize performance, maximize fuel economy or recharge the batteries quickly. Piaggio says the MP3 hybrid goes 60 kilometers on a liter of gas, which works out to about 141 mpg. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regenerative braking helps charge the batteries, and Piaggio says the MP3 Hybrid will charge in as little as three hours when plugged into a standard wall socket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Piaggio hasn&amp;#39;t said how much the MP3 Hybrid will cost or offered much in the way of specs, Wes Siler at Hell for Leather says the gas-electric combo should provide the MP3 Hybrid with the power of a 250cc gas scooter, giving it zero to 60 acceleration in the 5-second range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Piaggio&amp;#39;s been working on its HyS hybrid drivetrain for more than a year. It uses a four-stroke gasoline engine that runs at a near constant speed so it can be tuned for excellent fuel economy and low emissions. (Piaggio says the MP3 Hybrid emits 40 grams of carbon per kilometer; for comparison, the Prius emits 104.) The motor also charges the battery, which is located under the seat. A &amp;quot;fly by wire&amp;quot; system determines the optimal mix of gasoline and electric power depending upon rider demands. Motorcycle Consumer News says the HyS hybrid system can go about 12.5 miles on full electric power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for those two front wheels, they lean up to 40 degrees in turns just like a motorcycle. Piaggio, which introduced the MP3 two years ago, says the design improve traction, stability and braking to provide unparalleled (for a scooter) grip and excellent cornering capability. Having flogged a 250-cc MP3 in the Santa Cruz mountains, we can tell you it&amp;#39;s a hoot. A plug-in version will only make it better. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sos: &lt;a href='http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/11/piaggio-unveils.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/11/piaggio-unveils.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'&gt;@141miles per gallon or 60km per liter, this thing is truly fuel economical.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;saves money, saves the planet and doesnt look ugly. now only price factor will determine the rest.</description>

This is hilarious... ..even&lt;br /&gt;an Englishman could not construct sentences using numeric, which is exclusive only to Malaysians and &lt;br /&gt;Singaporeans.&lt;br /&gt;Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,&lt;br /&gt;10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from&lt;br /&gt;10 back to 1. This is what he came up with.....&lt;br /&gt;1 day I go 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man&lt;br /&gt;rushed out and wanted to 5 with me. I ran until I fell&lt;br /&gt;6 and threw up. So I go into 7-eleven&lt;br /&gt;and grabbed some 8 to throw at him. Then I took &lt;br /&gt;a 9 and try to stab at him. 10 God he run away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left&lt;br /&gt;7-eleven.&lt;br /&gt;Next day I called my &lt;br /&gt;boss and told him I was 6.&lt;br /&gt;He said 5 , tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work.

I was one of the few who had bluetooth on the phone and a headset that didnt look like a pilot. &lt;br /&gt;The next best option was from bluspoon which was the size of 20 cents, uncomfortable and bloody expensive.&lt;br /&gt;It went through a great ordeal, from drops , to masuk longkang filled with dirty water, to ending up insde my refrigerator (not freezer coz i drink cold water from my bottle in the fridge) for 16 hours.&lt;br /&gt;But NOT ONCE did it enter the worksyop or was ever sent for repair. Not once &amp;#33; &lt;br /&gt;The battery lasted 14 days with calls with bluetooth on 24/7 (not the headset but the fon itself)&lt;br /&gt;java was enabled and it only had like .....132kb of memory left after i installed some junk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is, this phone is extremely ultra super the durable. It was without color or camera. battery life was so great it even impressed me till this day. I was using it all the way until March 2008 when i accidentally rolled over it with my car. Then the life was over. WAYYYYYY beyond repair. So yes, this phone lasted me for more than 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;Even at the 10th year, my battery made out of lithium polymer (only used by PDA&amp;#39;s such as Compaq IPAQ at the time of purchase when u all were on nickel still), with constant charging would last me 7 days with calls and bluetooth on 24/7.&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve never switched off the bluetooth on the phone before ever from the day i bought it (unless off and on la)&lt;br /&gt;And i never experienced stuff like &amp;quot;hang kei&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;phone jam&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;auto off&amp;quot; or even corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My question is :&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why dont they make phones as durable as this anymore ?&lt;br /&gt;Are camera&amp;#39;s on the phone really necessary ? I know MMS and video calls are great but then again ....battery life ? Not many phones can surpass this great nokia in terms of battery life because of the raw simplicity it carries.&lt;br /&gt;Why cant they make a phone this good anymore ? They&amp;#39;ve done it before and that was the trademark and beginning of the era. I&amp;#39;m pretty sure that technology is ultra impressive and battery life will not be much of an issue if one manufacturer were to just put in the options that we really need. Not want and not love to have but need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you agree with the statements i have made ?&lt;br /&gt;If only the necessary options were put in, one can actually preserve battery life which is very important these days. You cant just go about with work knowing u have only 2 bars left of bat life can u?&lt;br /&gt;They dont manufacture phones like they should anymore. One that is utterly durable, one that carries the needs instead of the wants. They dont segmentize their phones properly anymore and just make it for the masses with supernormal profits in mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since this phone i have changed multiple ones, ranging from china made to the bulky nokia 6233. unfortunately for me, company policy requires me to only use a cellphone in the office that is without a camera. i have tried the cheap LG&amp;#39;s and all that what not, but none are as impressive as my old 6310i. my RM145 LG does not have bluetooth but a radio instead. And i cant find a phone that has only bluetooth in it without a camera. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for reading. I hope u&amp;#39;ll share your views. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
