So it started 2 weeks ago. I was at one SS outlet killing time while my daughter had her dental appointment. There was this mother and daughter pair in the store. The younger one is like maybe 3 years old to me, or maybe 4. As the mother made her way to the cashier, the little girl walked towards the cut fruits shelves, and shouted out to her mum, "mummy mummy dragon fruit!" . She struggled and managed to take out a tray of red dragon fruit and happily went over to her mum, who was queuing to pay. What amazed me was that she knew the red dragon fruit (many kids don't even know what a white one taste like), and wanted to buy it. I stood there observing her quietly, and smiling to myself just looking at her. There was some soft communication between the pair, and she walked back to the shelves. As she walked past me, I heard her mumbling to herself "always tell me next time" and put the tray of cut dragon fruit back, with a sad look on her little face, walked back to her mum and kept quiet. If I were younger, I would probably laugh it off and continue with what i was doing, but something hit me. I walked up to the shelves, took the tray of dragon fruit, paid and went after them. I caught up with them and gave the bag to the little girl, getting a surprise look from both of them. She took it, the mum smiled at me when I said " this is for her, the red dragon fruit. Smart girl, I like her." Had a great day the rest of the day. 2 days later, i was on my way to Tuas factory with someone in the car in the morning rush hours. Traffic was heavy ( usual thing I guess), and there was this trailer carrying a fabrication block on it with metal rods pointing an all round defense on my left, and it was driving very near me. I sensed danger and tried to move away from it to my right, and all of a sudden, a motorbike went passed in between us, with a loud bang. If I were younger, I would have KNN that bike and said he deserved to be hit. However, that morning, the first thing that came to me was, is the rider alright? Was he injured by the metal rods? My vehicle commander turned and said he saw the metal rod hit the side box of the bike, so the rider should be ok, maybe box broke. And i went okok, 阿弥陀佛. The rest of the day was peaceful. So yah, maybe as i aged, my heart gets softer. How many of you feel the same?

I'm currently on bf goodrich g sport, and as it's already balding, I'm considering the Hankook v12 as my replacement as recommended by Frankie from Soh Tyres. I've read the reviews here that the sidewall is quite soft for v12, and as I'm a person who likes to take corners at "higher than normal" speeds, I would like to find out if anyone knows if the sidewall for the v12 is already harder than the bf goodrich. Was considering the RS2 but I think it's already out of production. I'm currently running on 195/50/15, which is why the RS3 is out of the question due to 17 inch not being available. If there are any other recommendations similar to the performance of the v12 I'm all ears as well! Thanks.

Yo Guys, Recently langa (accident) from behind and now driving a Camry replacement car. The suspension is so soft that my family likes. Any way to soften my suspension of my Honda Stream S/E ? Cheers :)

Hi all, The tweeters on my component speakers seems to get softer and could hardly hear any sounds from them. The 6.5" speakers are still okie and they are 3 yrs old. Me using low end component,Pyle is the brand. So shd I change the whole component set or juz change the tweeters?

Hi all... Just want to ask... My car speakers are getting softer and softer... I've always played radio and cd @ vol 21... But in recent mths, the sound coming from the speakers are getting softer... Any idea why this is so?

1. I read from another forum that someone commented Honda has the sofest metal compared with other Jap brands like Toyota, Nissan and etc. 2. But Honda 2004 Civic(7th gen) scored 5 stars for NCAP frontal crash rating and it is also the heaviest compared with Altis and Sunny. Sunny is the lighest oppose to what we thought could be the heaviest 1.6L car because it drinks well. What do you think? Regards,

Hi, Thinking of changing my suspension springs to softer ones. The ones on my Laser is really too stiff for my liking, can feel every single bumps on the road, even very small ones. Have already replaced the shocks with stock ones (KYB Excel-g), but still no improvement. Could anyone advise where's a good place to go for works and good advice on car suspension? Most workshop just ask you to change this change that, can't give proper advice. Btw, I'm a bit confused with Progressive springs. Is progressive springs more confortable than stock ones? The more tightly wound part of the prog springs suppose to absorb all minor bumps?
