Hmmm where do I start? Okay so here's a dude I've known for nearly 13 years of my life. I first met him way back in primary school, but we only started getting close during our first year of secondary school. Its pretty hard to explain my relationship with this fella but it mostly involves us doing the dumbest shit together and then getting caught (no regrets). We've done lots of things together. From ponteng-ing sekolah to somehow ending up in a police station together (long story). I cannot discuss most of the things we have done together on here for obvious reasons (some of them being downright illegal). You might think we were being reckless, maybe, but I think we were just adventurous. I mean, you only live once right? Plus, more stories to tell your grandkids in the future.

MAZDA 3 2019 Version

(From Google Image Source)

At long last, the all-new, fourth-generation Mazda 3 has finally made its launch debut in Malaysia, with three variants (1.5, 2.0 High and 2.0 High Plus) and two body styles (sedan and hatchback) available. The C-segment model comes fully imported (CBU) from Japan, competes against nameplates like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla Altis, Hyundai Elantra and Volkswagen Golf, just to name a few.

At first glance, the visual differences between the two body styles are easily apparent, as the sedan gets a pin-style grille with chrome surrounds, while the hatchback adopts a honeycomb-like design with black trim instead. In profile, the sculpted sides play with light and shadow to create reflections that are unique to each model, with another cue being the prominent C-pillar and shorter rump on the hatchback as compared to the sedan.

While the exterior of both body styles are distinctive in their own right, the interior is identical, with a cabin that cuts down on “visual noise,” and has a driver-centric approach that also sees improvements to practicality. The infotainment display is much larger this time around, and it is powered by the latest version of the Mazda Connect system, although it does lose touch functionality to reduce cognitive distraction.

Below it, the air vents and climate system switchgear are positioned on a horizontal plane that leads into a restyled instrument binnacle that contains a digital instrument cluster display alongside analogue dials. There’s a new steering wheel design here, and the driver also gets two dedicated air vents.

Also revamped is the centre console, where the two cupholders are brought further forward aft to a small cubby space. The centre armrest is also much larger this time around, and features a “karakuri” opening mechanism to reveal additional storage. Even the Commander Control switchgear is new, and is designed to be more intuitive to operate.

For our market, we get two naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engines from Mazda’s SkyActiv-G range, with the first being a 1.5 litre unit that makes 118 hp at 6,000 rpm and 153 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The other option is a 2.0 litre powerplant serving up 162 hp at 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Regardless of which mill you pick, both are paired with a SkyActiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission, with drive going to the front wheels.

The base variant, which is offered as a sedan and hatchback, is priced at RM139,620 on-the-road without insurance, and comes with the 1.5 litre engine. In terms of equipment, you get automatic LED projector headlamps with bulb-type daytime running lights, LED taillights and 16-inch alloy wheels on the outside.

As for the interior, there’s single-zone manual air-conditioning, a seven-inch TFT-LCD digital instrument cluster display, an 8.8-inch central display linked to a Mazda Connect infotainment system with eight speakers, fabric upholstery, windscreen-projected head-up display, a soft-touch dash and door cards, plus manually operated front seats.

Further up the range is the 2.0 High variant that retails at RM150,059, but is available only in sedan form. Paying the premium over the base model nets you the larger-capacity 2.0 litre motor, along with more goodies in the kit list. Improvements over the base model include the addition of keyless entry, leather upholstery, a sunroof, frameless rearview mirror, 10-way powered driver seat with two-setting memory function, and dual-zone climate control with rear air vents.

At the very top is the 2.0 High Plus, which can be ordered in both body styles, and goes for RM160,059. This variant gets all the items found on the 2.0 High, with upgrades being larger 18-inch wheels in place of the 16-inch units, as well as adaptive LED headlamp.

You’ll also get four front parking sensors, along with a full complement of Mazda i-Activsense safety and driver assistance systems. These include Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), High Beam Control (HBC), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Lane Keep Assist System (LAS), Driver Attention Alert (DAA), Smart Brake Support (SBS – front and rear) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC), the last item being the first time Bermaz has offered the driver assistance feature on a Mazda model.

Speaking of safety, all variants come as standard with traction control, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBA), emergency brake assist (EBA), hill launch assist (HLA), G-Vectoring Control Plus, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and seven airbags (front, side, curtain and a new addition being for the driver’s knee).

In terms of colour options, the get seven colours to choose from – Soul Red Crystal, Machine Grey, Snowflake White Pearl, Deep Crystal Blue, Sonic Silver, Jet Black and Polymetal Grey, although it should be noted that the last option is only offered for the hatchback.

Also included with each purchase is a five-year/100,000 km warranty, five-year/100,000 free maintenance package, as well as SkyTint security window tint.

My Son

Most of you don't know this, but I have a son. He first came into my life when I was 9 years old. He is not my biological son though, I adopted him. (making babies at that age isn't legal, and probably not possible as well but anyways..) However, I love him as if he were my own son. He is pretty much one of the only things that keeps me happy these days. This is especially true when I get back home from ALAM during our overnight leave. He would go crazy jumping on me and start licking me all over. I know, pretty odd behaviour for someone who is already 10 years old. Come to think of it, he is really weird. I mean, he's 10 years old and takes huge ass dumps all over the porch for christ's sake. Attached below are a few pictures of my son.

alright im kidding

This is my son

Paper lanterns are fun decorations that add a festive air to any occasion. With a few simple supplies, you can make your own paper lanterns to decorate with!

STEP 1

(From Google Image Source)

Fold the paper. Take a piece of paper and fold it in half lengthwise. It can be of any size and weight. A piece of regular printer paper will do just fine, but so will cardstock or scrapbook paper. The lighter the weight of the paper, the more likely the lantern will be to collapse under its own weight.
You can use a solid color piece of paper or a piece of decorative scrapbook paper to make the lantern more festive.

STEP 2

(From Google Image Source)

Cut the paper. Cut along the folded edge, but not all the way to the end. It's up to you how long you want the slits to be. The longer the slits, the more light will shine through and the more flexible/floppy your lantern will be.
You can also decide how large you want your strips to be. The number of strips will completely change the look of your lantern. An inch or so (2.5 cm) apart is fairly standard.

STEP 3

(From Google Image Source)

Make a tube. Take the two ends of the paper and wrap them around to make a round tube shape. Use a piece of tape or glue to stick it together. Make sure to secure the entire length of the lantern! Tape everything from the inside so it's not visible.

You can also use a stapler to connect the two end pieces of the lantern.

STEP 4

(From Google Image Source)

Make the handle. Cut off another piece of paper to make a handle. If you used a piece of printer paper, your handle should be about 6" (15 cm) long and 1" (2.5 cm) wide. If you're hanging it, however, you don't necessarily need a handle -- it can be hung through the base on ribbon or string.
If you're hanging the lantern, however, you don't necessarily need a handle -- it can be hung through the base on ribbon or string.

STEP 5

(From Google Image Source)

Attach the handle. Using glue or tape, secure the handle to the inside of the top of your lantern.

If your lantern is too straight-edged, bend it a bit. It will slowly give to the form you're putting it in. The heavier the paper, the more you'll need to force it into shape.

STEP 6

(From Google Image Source)

Enjoy the finished product. You can put a candle inside, hang it from the ceiling, or use it as a centerpiece.
Since the lantern is made of paper, only put a tea candle or votive in the center if you have a glass to put it in. Place the candle in the glass and put the lantern around the glass to light it up. It's best if the glass is deep so the flame doesn't sear the edge of the lantern and start a fire.
Only use a candle inside if you are sitting the lantern on a flat surface, not if you are hanging it or using the handle.

4 Animals Still Alive Even Without Having Theirs Head

The body of poultry can be moving for few minutes even the head has been chopped off. Some of the insects or animals without the heart and brain still can be alive for several days. Some of them tenacious alive within 18 months. Today, I going to tell you 4 animals can be alive with theirs body after dead.

1. Flies

A fly without the head can be alive above 10 days. Their sense of balance even better than some of the fly which still alive. The evolution theory for a fly is much lower, their brain just a nervous link which more advance a bit only, it does not control the the whole body of the fly but any how they still consist of certain synchronization ability. When theirs head been cut off, the nervous link which below the brain still can control the body movements. Their senses of light exist in organ instead of brain。

2.Snake

In 2014 years, a chef which come from the China got bitten by the snake that already dead when he was cooking it. The chef removed the snake head and dump it to the waste bin but however during he dumping the other food waste into the waste bin he got bitten by the snake head. The venom was injected into his body can separately fast.By the time, ambulance arrived he was dead. The doctor claimed that the chef respiratory system was infected by the venom and cause him dead. The snake are reptile and whole body cover by huge amount of the nervous which means that a lot of the movement can be perform without the instruction from the brain. The snake specialist said that the snake head can survive 1 hours and above so we should keep clear from the snake even its already dead.
