            <title>Is it too good to be true?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1151998</link>
            <description>&lt;s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear CC,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s quite rare for me to post a topic over here. Actually, there is something I would like to share about my life and I seek to hear your humble opinions. I have known this girl, ‘A’ when I was studying for my diploma. We studied in the same class during first semester. ‘A’ was a cheerful and bubbly person. Physically ‘A’ is quite cute although not really a hot babe material since she never wore revealing outfit.  We were both always doing group discussions and revisions together with other colleagues in the library. At that time, I considered ‘A’ as one of my close female friends although we never went out together. Then the second semester came, ‘A’ and I registered in different class. Actually, we didn’t have intention to be in the same class and I don’t mind about it but since we were in the same course, we sometimes accidentally bumped each other during lab sessions. ‘A’ always noticed me and we chatted to update each other’s news but we weren’t as close as before. 2 years later, we completed our diplomas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to England to pursue for my bachelor degree and same goes to ‘A’ where she went to Wales to continue her studies. During that time, social networking website such as Friendster was a big thing. We managed to track each other in Friendster and exchanged MSN/YM contacts. Studying in UK is different especially during winter where the weather isn’t great for outdoor activities, thus lazing myself in front of the laptop while chatting with ‘A’ was one of my pastime activities. We chatted a lot in MSN, sometimes we even chatted up straight for 4 hours.  I managed to get to know her better on online than we were in the same college back then. I was stunt later when ‘A’ told me the truth that she actually had a ‘crush’ on me when we were in first semester. I paused for a moment and the awkwardness surrounded the conversation. I didn’t know how to react and tried to calm down as if nothing happened. We changed the topic and ended the conversation earlier than usual. I started to think and looking back our memories recollection. ‘A’ was quite popular with the guys back then, even one of my close friends tried to woo her but failed. I never thought of ‘A’ more than a ‘friend’ and she’s even not in my woo list either but I enjoyed and felt comfortable talking to her. A few months later ‘A’ got disconnected from MSN, even her friendster wasn’t updated. I thought her laptop had broken or she has internet disruption. I’ve sent her messages in friendster and YM but no reply avail. I did have an intention to visit her place during summer break but I was quite a fool back then for not having her UK phone number, well maybe it’s a fate. Soon after that, I graduated and came back home for good. Like any other graduates, I managed to get a permanent job and my journey in working life has begun. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast forward to 2009 which is 5 years later (yeah you heard it correct, it’s 5), ‘A’ suddenly came back into the picture when she messaged me in YM (Note: I still have her YM) in invisible mode somewhere in July. Personally, I was astonished and a bit angry at the same time. We chatted again but I wasn’t comfortable like I used to be plus I wondered why the heck she’s in invisible mode. The conversation ended where she gave her current e-mail address and asked me to write to her whenever I have time. In the end I didn’t e-mail to her at all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One evening, not long after that, ‘A’ buzzed me in YM again in invisible mode. I did ask her about the invisible mode, and she replied that she doesn’t want to be seen by certain ‘people’. So I said “ok”. ‘A’ warmed up the conversation and started to reminisce about old days during our college years. ‘A’ even told me that she caught a fever and all of sudden she asked about my house phone number. I asked her back why? And she answered that she needed to speak to me. I declined and gave lame excuses about my parents sitting in front TV might be eavesdropping our conversation.  I asked for her current mobile number but she refused and told me that she just terminated her line because of some stalkers keep bugging her. I bound not to believe it anyway and asked for her house phone number instead. ‘A’ finally gave it and I called her straight away using my mobile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We started our phone conversation with one weird indescribable feeling as we haven’t contacted each other for 5 years. I felt more uneasy when ‘A’ said she missed my voice and her fever made her suddenly wanted to speak to me. In my mind I was like “WTF?” ‘A’ said she stills single and no one wanted her as a girlfriend but I was very sceptical.  So, I keep following her drift until around 15 minutes later I ended the phone conversation by saying my sister had called me to do some errand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was unspeakable moment for me. After so long and almost forgotten, I thought her of moving on with her own life but suddenly she contacted me and said some cheesy things. It’s either I’m one of the luckiest moron compared to her wooers or ‘A’ had a nutcase. Seriously, I had goosebumps that day. Pardon me for thinking too much. I’ve given a thought of sending her ‘Hari Raya’ greetings if it’s appropriate but looking back what we’ve been going through especially due to her very long disappearance; I think I shouldn’t have taken it seriously. Do you think so? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p/s : Sorry for the wall of text, TL;DR is impossible &lt;!--emo&amp;:P--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;/s&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edited : Ok guys, I got the message. I&amp;#39;m closing this thread for good. Thanks for the fruitful advice and opinions.</description>

I lost weight and decided I couldn&amp;#39;t take it any longer and resigned.&amp;#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miss Kajla, from Wolverhampton, is claiming compensation for constructive unfair dismissal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The respondents are listed as the &amp;#39;Secretary of State for Justice and others&amp;#39;, understood to include prison officer Lee Hastings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She claims she was effectively sacked by the prison service in April last year, ten months after moving to Brinsford after a trouble-free spell at Shrewsbury Prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Birmingham tribunal has already heard that shortly after she started at Brinsford, one of the governors reprimanded her for wearing heavy make-up, bangles and a nose stud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite writing in her diary: &amp;#39;Make-up is me, I don&amp;#39;t want to change me&amp;#39;, she bought lighter shades of lipstick and other make-up to comply with the rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam Farrer, for the prison service, suggested that going to work &amp;#39;glammed up&amp;#39; was not appropriate and that she was seen by inmates as a &amp;#39;soft touch&amp;#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Miss Kajla replied that she had been taught to take pride in her appearance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responding to criticism of her informality with inmates, she said: &amp;#39;I was always friendly but never a friend.&amp;#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tribunal heard how Miss Kajla would often sit with groups of prisoners on her own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving evidence, Mr Hastings told the tribunal panel this showed a &amp;#39;lack of personal safety&amp;#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He denied a claim by Stephen Roberts, representing Miss Kajla, that he had &amp;#39;bullied and intimidated&amp;#39; Miss Kajla because she was &amp;#39;pretty and small&amp;#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The prison officer said he had simply been concerned that &amp;#39;repeated actions were breaching security issues within the prison service&amp;#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added: &amp;#39;The young offenders are without doubt the most spontaneous, volatile and violent ones.&amp;#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Straw is not expected to be called to give evidence at the tribunal, which continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more: &lt;a href='http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1199852/Woman-prison-officer-forced-job-sexy-demands-payout.html#ixzz0LNiOHmOZ' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11...l#ixzz0LNiOHmOZ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;</description>

            <title>My Eclipse CD5435 is behaving erratically</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1087686</link>
            <description>Hi guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m currently using an Eclipse cd5435 for almost 2 years(bought new). The HU is great though but recently it started to behave erratically when playing MP3 CDs (The CD is in good condition with no visible scratches), sometimes it failed to read or skip to next the file. I already tried with normal Audio CD, it seems to work flawlessly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this a sign of a dirty lens? If it does how do I clean the lens ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s strange to have this because my old and cheaper pioneer CD player in the other car doesn&amp;#39;t have any of this problem since I bought it 7 years ago.  &lt;!--emo&amp;:sweat:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sweat.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sweat.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advice is very much appreciated. Thanks.</description>

She did not really talk to me at first as she found me stand-offish. Over the following months, we met mostly through group outings and somehow my feelings for her grew. Recently, we had a chance to be alone and I confessed my feelings to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did this despite knowing that she already has a boyfriend, whom she has been going out since her college days. Their relationship is mature, they have even bought a house together, although she has turned down his offer of marriage, claiming she’s not ready for it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprisingly, after I expressed my feelings, she did not reject me outright. She told me that she too had grown to be fond of me. Happily, we decided to give things a try and she alternates between seeing me and her boyfriend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During times of guilt, she’s asked to break our relationship but I have told her that she should not rush this matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She’s in a dilemma and doesn’t know who to choose – someone who’s she known for many years or a new love. I’ve tried to assure her that her feelings for me are genuine else she would not have reciprocated my love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only worry that she will end up choosing her current boyfriend only for the sake of convenience. How do I convince her that she has to trust her heart and put faith in my ability to be the right life partner for her?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no feelings for anyone but her and the thought of losing my fated love now haunts me. Do you see a happy ending in this for both of us?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daydreamer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:purple'&gt;YOUR girlfriend will have to make the ultimate decision. She knows very well that she can’t have both men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her mind probably tells her to stick with her guy. After so many years together, sharing house and home, she almost has a marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then you came into her life and you brought excitement, attention, love and thrill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You understand her well and do not want to pressure her into a decision. Yet, you seem to have accepted the inevitable, that she will leave you eventually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this attitude, you will surely lose your gal. Think before you give up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If she has been truly happy with her guy, would she have allowed herself into this situation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two timing is very stressful because it involves lies, deceit, manipulation and deviousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this woman is of such character, then you should be the first to leave. But if you believe that she is with you because she is having doubts about her relationship, then you have hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your love is so strong after knowing her for only six months, then go on fighting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask for time, create opportunities for this relationship to develop and strengthen. Persuade her with love, sincerity and persistence. Do not allow fear, doubts and placid acceptance to rule your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love has no enemy. When she has to decide, the better man should win.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, Thelma is dealing with another confused spanner but this time she seems approving it, I wonder who played the &amp;#39;Thelma&amp;#39; ? &lt;!--emo&amp;:lol:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:purple'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Two timing is very stressful because it involves lies, deceit, manipulation and deviousness.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway /CC/ let&amp;#39;s discuss &amp;#33;</description>

She told me she has known him for four years. They were together on Valentine’s Day and we had a lunch date the following day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do you think I should interfere in this relationship and become the third person?&lt;/b&gt; Do you think I stand a chance with her since she is not married yet? &lt;b&gt;I am really troubled.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Third Party&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:purple'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AS long as the girl is single, she is still available. However, you are hardly close to being the third person in her love life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have only known this beauty for only a short time, while she has known the guy for four years. And if she has been including him in her conversations with you, then she’s been setting boundaries. So don’t be so besotted and single-minded. If you are truly confident about your charms and she seems happy to have lunches and dinners with you, then perhaps you are in the running. However, if she only wants to talk about her guy with you, then take heed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take it easy and do not act obsessively. You should get to know more of her than get so excited about her looks. A woman enjoys flattery and attention, but she also needs to feel secure about love and emotions. What happens when she is older and no longer beautiful? Would you still feel the same way?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give love more depth and space. Getting hung up over good looks and nothing more is shallow and superficial.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, shallowness + spannerism do get along very well ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&amp;#39;s discuss &lt;!--emo&amp;:P--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>

            <title>Chris Bangle quits BMW</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/925146</link>
            <description>I just read from Paul Tan this morning and found this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href='http://paultan.org/archives/2009/02/03/chris-bangle-quits-bmw-and-the-auto-industry/' target='_blank'&gt;http://paultan.org/archives/2009/02/03/chr...-auto-industry/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;[center]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6307/bmwdesignteamqe0.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bangle and his “machais” (L-R): David Robb (BMW Motorrad), Adrian van Hooydonk (BMW), Ulf Weidhase (BMW M and BMW Individual), Ian Cameron (Rolls-Royce), Gert Volker Hildebrand (MINI)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[/center]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris Bangle has quit BMW, and apparently the entire auto industry as well. Succeeding his position as chief of design for the entire BMW Group (including MINI and Rolls-Royce) is Dutchman Adrian van Hooydonk, who is the BMW brand’s design chief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;52-year old Bangle who has worked in BMW since 1992 is not moving to another car company but is instead leaving to pursue his own design-related ventures beyond the auto industry. Among the work produced by the BMW design team under van Hooydonk’s leadership include the new F01 7-Series, the new Z4 and the upcoming BMW PAS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This story by NY Times reveals that many of BMW’s controversial designs that made it into production under Bangle’s watch have erroneously been attributed to him. He merely approved it. The “Bangle butt” should more appropriately be called the “van Hooydonk butt”. As for the whole controversial “flame surfacing” design, which many have said is a mere collection of random surface shapes to conceal an unimaginative design, the article claims that to be the responsibility of another American, Chris Chapman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, I like his designs. We will going to miss the era where Bimmers really stands out from the crowd, although some might hate it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The revolutionary angel eyes headlamps design with &amp;#39;eyebrows&amp;#39; is simply stunning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wiki Chris Bangle : &lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bangle' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bangle&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <description>Hi guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to close my old blog and started a new one again last month.

            <title>Tsundere Tuesday</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/710688</link>
            <description>As above , Tuesday is Tsundere &amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere' target='_blank'&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Tsundere is an Internet slang word that has a remarkable subdivision structure; usage rules vary accordingly. Therefore, the term is not elaborately defined as to what character types can be described as tsundere; the term transcends gender and species. The definition is often subjected to the creator&amp;#39;s point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tsundere is a combination of the two words tsuntsun (&amp;#12484;&amp;#12531;&amp;#12484;&amp;#12531;, tsuntsun?), and deredere (&amp;#12487;&amp;#12524;&amp;#12487;&amp;#12524;, deredere?). Tsuntsun is defined as &amp;quot;aloof, morose, pointed&amp;quot;, and deredere is defined as &amp;quot;exhausted, lovestruck&amp;quot;.[1] Tsunderekko (&amp;#12484;&amp;#12531;&amp;#12487;&amp;#12524;&amp;#12387;&amp;#23064;, Tsunderekko?) is a related noun, referring to a girl with a tsundere personality. Like nekomimi, tsundere is considered a moe-inspiring character trait.[2] The concept has received increasing attention in Japan, with a tsundere cafe opened in Akihabara[3] and tsundere-themed products released (like Tomy Co.&amp;#39;s portable television set),[4] and the concept increasingly reflected in recent anime, from an extended discussion of the meaning of the concept and its origin on the internet in Lucky Star&amp;#39;s Lucky Channel segment to merchandise for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya classifiying the characters according to tsundere-ness. Tsundere is the antonym of yandere where a person is initially loving, then combative, often brutally so.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[center]&lt;img src='http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/3100/akibaangelszg4.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[/center]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moar ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.riuva.com/?p=1112' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.riuva.com/?p=1112&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/8359/happinesswavefunctionwc8.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;</description>

            <title>LYN Traffic Rants</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/616962</link>
            <description>Since we don&amp;#39;t have any thread about KL (or any major cities) traffic updates, I&amp;#39;m going to make one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Discuss as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Traffic conditions anywhere in KL (or any major cities) with details eg: time, scale of pile up or ITIS/DBKL cctv pictures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Accident anywhere in KL (or any major cities) with details eg: time, scale of the accident and etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Any rants about road bully or road rage happen with details. (Not too overboard or emotional)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Any related traffic event eg: Road closure and etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay let&amp;#39;s start with mine,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had one of the f***ing traffic pile up today at MRR2 near melawati/Ulu Klang. I never expected it to be in such condition since I get out and hit the street as early as 7:15am. The sHitz.fm keep on playing gibberish songs instead of broadcasting traffic updates. Thus I had u-turn and drive towards setapak/genting klang instead. Stupid decision indeed, the setapak jam is one of the worst nightmare. Nevertheless, I endure it with ire and middle fingering sessions while listening to ayumi hamasaki in the car. The bloody mopeds keep on zig-zagging while inhaling toxic fumes and those mofos don&amp;#39;t even care to avoid cars from behind. I stuck around an hour and finally made my way to office in Bukit Jalil. Once I stepped into the office, my GM asked a few questions about my project. Sigh, luckily he didn&amp;#39;t asked why am I late. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another b**** morning in KL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>Opinion: Alpine vs. Eclipse HU</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/610321</link>
            <description>Dear lowyat.net,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m going to upgrade my stock factory fitted audio tomorrow and had been offered a good deal today by a shop recommended by a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut the story short, I&amp;#39;m quite well verse with eclipse hu as I did some extensive research about it so the shop offered me a few models and I&amp;#39;m kinda confused which one should I buy. They are :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eclipse CD2000 - One of the low range model, cheap and has good features.&lt;br /&gt;Eclipse CD3100 - Mid range model, motorized panel, kinda odd styling and has good features &lt;br /&gt;Eclipse CD5435 - Old model but the highest spec in mid range model and has better features than CD3100 except it doesn&amp;#39;t have motorized panel and look better than CD3100.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, enough with eclipse, is there any Alpine equivalent model that match the Eclipse ? I just want to know before I decide since I&amp;#39;m going to invest a hefty sum of money on it. The budget is below RM1k.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m probably using Boston Acoustics as my front components and run it directly from the hu without amp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will close this thread once I decided &lt;!--emo&amp;:)--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.</description>

            <description>Hi guys,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am wondering if anyone of you here who likes to drink japanese green tea ? I would try one but I need recommendations from experts here as a good guidance &lt;!--emo&amp;:P--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;. From what I&amp;#39;ve read from various sources including wikipedia, it shows that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Green tea has been credited with providing a wide variety of health benefits, many of which have not been validated by scientific evidence. These claims and any for which academic citations are currently missing are listed here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Stopping certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer&amp;#39;s and Parkinson&amp;#39;s [1]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Preventing/treating cancer [2]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Treating multiple sclerosis[citation needed]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Preventing the degradation of cell membranes by neutralizing the spread of free radicals (which occurs during the process of oxidation). [3]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Reducing the negative effects of LDL cholesterol bad cholesterol by lowering levels of triglycerides and increasing the production of HDL cholesterol good cholesterol. [4]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Increasing fat oxidation (helps the body use fat as an energy source) and raising metabolism. [5]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Joy Bauer, a New York City nutritionist, says [the catechins in green tea] increase levels of the metabolism speeding brain chemical norepinephrine.[6]&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; * Japanese researchers claim if you drink five cups of green tea a day, you&amp;#39;ll burn 70 to 80 extra calories. Dr. Nicholas Perricone , an anti-aging specialist, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show and told Oprah&amp;#39;s viewers they can lose 6 lbs. in 10 weeks drinking green tea instead of coffee [7]. However, the maximum calorie density of stored fat is 3500 calories in a pound [8] thus 75 extra burned calories per day requires 40 weeks to lose 6 lbs. The weight lost might also been due to replacing a high caloric drink such as coffee with a lower caloric drink such as green tea.
