I made it halfway my journey through life!

With life expectancy around 76 years for men, I just entered into 2nd half of my life yesterday. How many years more I will live in this world, only Allah knows. I just lost a friend who was drowning in Perhentian Island four days ago  while trying to save a tourist and he's only 28 years old. If you are not dying because of natural causes, accident will take your life. Come to think of it... I may not live longer than I think.
So, it is wise to live your life to the fullest. Everyday is a gift, even if it is sucks. Count your blessings not the troubles. Never waste an opportunity to say someone that you love them, you never know what will happen tomorrow. Remember that laughter makes the world go round. Make the impossible possible and never give up. You only fail when you fail to try. Keep an open mind, you never know what you may learn.
No matter how bad is your life problem, there's always someone fights the harder battle. Look up to sky, then you know how tiny is your problem compare to the universe. Tears don't help problem, whining won't make things better. Have faith, but faith only makes things possible, not easier. When you lose everything, remember you still have hope left. 
Be there when people need you. Never compromise your standards for anyone, do it for yourself. Never make promises that you cannot keep. Keep in mind, those say bad things about other people to you will say the same thing about you. Say only what you mean, and don't believe everything you hear. Give people a second chance because nobody's perfect. Love all you can, give all you have, smile away your days and dream away your nights

Life is a wonderful thing :)

2022 Suzuki SV650

After three years of dormancy, I'm finally back on the bike and eager to share my experiences with you all. In this post, I want to talk about the Suzuki SV650, a middleweight-class motorcycle that I recently acquired. Earlier this year, I was in search of a new bike for my daily commute to the office. My small scooter, which had served me well during the pandemic, had become unreliable after I rode it nearly 100km per day. One day, while riding full throttle on the highway, the drive belt snapped in the middle of the PLUS highway. I had to push my bike to the Kajang toll gate before a good samaritan, a Grab rider, helped me push it to a workshop in Bandar Baru Bangi. It was clear that I needed a more reliable and robust bike for my daily commute. Initially, I considered a few entry-level bikes, such as the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and the KTM Duke 390. However, I soon found myself drawn to the middleweight class, which included the Honda CB650R, Yamaha MT07, Kawasaki Z650, Suzuki

Just a month after I bought my SV650, Fiza's friend offered her husband's motorcycle at a very attractive price. Apparently, her husband had given up riding and was willing to let go of the bike. After discussing it with me, I immediately told her to grab it because the mileage was fairly low. They settled the deal in just 15 minutes and over the following weekend, we went to JB to pick up the bike. To our surprise, the previous owner not only handed over the bike but also everything else, including riding jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, and more. Even the bike came with extras like a windscreen, new levers, engine guard, belly pan, tail bag, and bike cover. He said he didn't have time or passion for riding anymore, which was evident from the fact that the bike had only 174 km mileage after more than a year. The bike had not even had the first service yet! Before I bought my SV650, I had considered the Triumph Trident 660, but the price was way more expensive. Fiza, on the

One of the wishes I have on my bucket list is to own a big bike before I hit 40. A long time ago (in the year 1997 to be exact), when I came back from Japan after finishing my studies, I wanted to cry looking at the price tag of big cc motorcycles in Malaysia. Due to all kinds of taxes imposed by the government, they are ridiculously expensive!! Probably, the most expensive in the world! (How ironic, big bikes are cheaper in Singapore than here??) With the fresh grad salary I was getting at that time, there was no way I could afford to buy one. If I want to purchase one, I have to choose between owning a big bike or a car. With family on the way, I had to choose the latter. With a car, I can ferry my family around. Fast forward to the present time, only at the end of last year, I realized I still didn't fulfill this wish. I already have in my mind a few bikes within my budget to consider including Monster, Shiver, Versys, Dorsoduro, 800GS, Z800, and Street Triple. Finally, I ch
