Do it properly? Why?
Simple. Malaysia is a highly notorious country for modified cars because they love to turn everyday cars into lawbreaking criminals and get them wanted. This is somewhat MOST WANTED but Malaysian kind of way.
(audience laughing)
Anyway, let's do the news and big news this week because we just heard that the highly-criticized ANTI-CYBERCRIME LAW was now in effect despite protests from many.
So, what is this all about the Cybercrime Prevention Law?
On that law, signed by the President of the Philippines, this takes down piracy, file-sharing, cyber porn, or any other criminal-related activities done by the internet. Not only that, because of Senator Tito Sotto, this new law takes down libel in which any Facebook Like, Share or Twitter tweet may slam you on jail for about 12 years.
(huh?)
Wait, 12 years?
Yep. 12 years of imprisonment due to libel.
Yeah, perhaps I did the whole Doctor Who EMERGENCY PROGRAM ONE thing in case I got caught by the cops because of this.
(audience laughing)
EMERGENCY PROGRAM ONE? Sounds convincing because when you leave them a message, they might think that you've been either killed or busted by the cyber cops for Facebook or Twitter about libels. What about blogs?
Not safe. Even blogs can be affected to this whole anti-cyber libel stuff. Why? Why would they want to take away our freedom of speech? Is this the MARTIAL LAW of the 21st century?
Hey, better cool down because the heat's on us. Any fatal mistake and the coppers will get us locked down for 12 years.
(audience laughing)
Okay. Best to keep our cool down before the heat's up and became WANTED. NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED.
(audience laughing)
Anyway, you know the 21st Century Beetle, which is the modern take of the Beetle that no other game featured this latest version? Check out this convertible version...

Same features as the normal model but now, the roof is softened so the wind blows through.
Not a bad car but it's not kinda good either.
Really?
Seriously. I've checked the 21st Century Beetle a few weeks ago and it seems that the glove compartment that got my hands tickled. Seems that I can't forget the moment when I first met it.
Ahem, it seems that the glove compartment's handle on the 21st Century Beetle really got the best of you, isn't it?

Yep. I really wish to have that one because of its glove compartment handle.
(audience laughing)
Hey, enough now. Anyone heard? It seems that most owners of the all new Toyota 86/Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ found out that they're complaining about engine stalls and rough idle...which is bad.
Huh?

| 86 & BRZ |
But, most of these received good reviews by the press but what were the problems?
As told, owners are complaining about rough idle and stalling issues. Also, some say, that was caused by some software glitch. Software coding errors in the ECU-engine communication think that the engine is operating outside its “frozen” parameters and causes stalling or a rough idle as it tries, and apparently fails, to sort things out.
Whoa. That sounds a bit creepy...
Don't worry, they'll reprogram the ECU only if it's less than 100 miles or else, they'll have to replace it, which is costly.
Oh....
Aside from all these, there was an 86-dedicated forum received a hundred complaints about having their camshaft bearing, cam gears, actuators and cam position sensors changed. Seems that all the success do come with a price. Do you think it's time for a recall because of the problems faced by the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86, and Scion FR-S?

| 2013 Caterham Superlight R600 |
Hey! What's this?
Oh, that's a Caterham Superlight R600.
The what?
CATERHAM R600!
Oh!
Caterham R600. The one comes with the supercharged 2-liter Ford Duratec engine that churns out 275 hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. For the first time, the R600 is mated with a six-speed sequential gearbox and a Titan limited-slip differential.
(oooohh)
Also, there's going to be a one-make race series next year. Anyone interested, contact the people of Caterham at motorsports@caterham.co.uk. Oh, and be sure to have the R600 because this is needed for this one-make race series next year. Understood?
Anyway, it seems that it's finally official that F1 legend, Michael Schumacher, announced his retirement at the end of the Formula One 2012 season.
(awww)
I know. It's said to see Schumi go and filling his role will be Lewis Hamilton because next year, Lewis is now the Mercedes F1 driver. Interesting and very clever.
I'm going to miss Schumacher but I'll remember him for being the guy who said that he was The Stig on the Series 13 opener of Top Gear. Anyone remember? Michael Schumacher is The Stig?
(yes!)
BIG YES indeed.

| BIG YES! |
And on that non-libelous bombshell, that's the news. Anyway, for those who want a souvenir from The Angels Take Manhattan, there is an e-book available and it's called THE ANGEL'S KISS by Melody Malone.
 |
| THE ANGEL'S KISS |
Melody Malone? Or better be River Song/Melody Pond. This e-book was inspired from THE ANGELS TAKE MANHATTAN episode, the one where Amy and Rory were killed by the Weeping Angel. I know, it was very sad and we piled a lot of tissue boxes to prepare for this tragic moment.
(audience laughing)
What to expect here is simple...THE DYING DETECTIVE, THE ANGELS TAKE MANHATTAN, THE SKINNY GUY, JULIUS GRAYLE, CALLING THE DOCTOR, THE ROMAN IN THE CELLAR, DEATH AT WINTER QUAY, and AMELIA'S LAST FAREWELL. These were on THE ANGEL'S KISS e-book available on your tablet, Kindle, or iPad.
What interests me is the one from the end of THE ANGELS TAKE MANHATTAN. It's called AFTERWORD by AMELIA WILLIAMS and this is somewhat a farewell letter to The Doctor and also, a very sad way to read it. What it also reads was this...
...There's a little girl waiting in the garden...
