The sonata&#8217;s horsepower is awesome. The driver could floor his accelerator, and the RPM reached 3000+, and the car moved off at some crazy speeds. And the driver had got god-like reflexes too. Maybe he&#8217;s like Jay Chou in Initial-D. He saw the other cars moving very slowly, but in fact, he had become faster. Duhz..<\/p>\n<p>Ok back to the topic.<\/p>\n<p>So what is Leng Kee? Is it a person&#8217;s name? Or is it because long ago, there&#8217;s an air-con factory there? &#8220;Leng Kee&#8221; sounds like aircon (\u00e5\u2020\u00b7\u00e6\u00b0\u201d) in Hokkien. Or is it because that place it super cooling?<\/p>\n<p>Ok, let me go find out. I remembered borrowing a book long ago (damn long ago&#8230; I don&#8217;t even remember when was it), from NLB, about Singapore road names and their meanings and histories. Now, what&#8217;s the book&#8217;s name?<\/p>\n<p>Sianz.. why NLB does not have a database of books that a user had borrowed before?
