Bleh..

Super tired today, spent the morning playing soccer with the guys and I was already critically wounded from badminton. My butt aches like hell, shoulders and neck are stiff, and both my legs were like jelly. Better still, kena activated to go kopitiam to help out. *Doh!*

Anyway on Friday night as me and STPIBBSSRCPCMO were going home we somehow got onto the wrong bus. *Doh!* Then got some Malay guys/punks/idiots/imbeciles I don't know why but wait, its just 1 fucker. As he got off the bus, he decided to whack the bus seat with his palm and a cloud of dust wafted up. WTF is he thinking man? Bloody bitch, I hope he gets a super duper ultra allergy from dust and has to be confined in an air tight room forever!! No lah, I just hope he bloody wakes up his idea, BASTARD! Fucking cockanaden I really felt like shouting at him. Knn.. purposely make life miserable for the remaining people on board, I hope you ... nevermind.
As the Peruvians on gunbound would say "idiota.."

Then when we finally took the CORRECT bus home, this group of Chinese punks come up and 1 of them is, trying to be a resident bus entertainer or something, he connects his headset to his handphone, switches on the radio and blasts 98.7FM on the bus. Hello we don't need a radio on the bus you DORK. And he's talking quite loudly and I had half a mind to borrow STPIBBSSRCPCMO's badminton rackets and whack their heads into square shapes. Then I would probably exclaim "Now you idiots look more like radio speakers!"
Another case of inconsiderate people, no wonder certain subways and train services in other countries have shut off all mobile services within their trains by coating a thin layer of metal over the train, took this from Serway textbook, lol~

One of the punks was holding a bicycle frame, I hope it rusts from inside out and when he goes night cycling, crumble when he reaches the middle of Sungei Tengah and will be forced to spend the night with the notorious Area D mosquitoes. Bitch!!

What a flaming post.. haha~ now for the good news! The good news is, there is no news. Yayee! ZZzzz tmr gotta work somemore, KTV though!

After a few years?

I remember the last time I played badminton i was still a NSF soldier.. Today I really relished the opportunity to play badminton because it was kind of like my favourite activity when I was in primary school. We played it outdoors, on the carparks in fact of our private estate. I can still remember my first badminton racket which was orange in colour. It was used extensively to hit shuttlecocks as well as to kill red ants, hehe..

Seems like lots of people are questioning my friend after she put the pic of the 2 of us together on MSN. Apparently people believe we are a couple.. and despite her explanations some people are still not convinced? Hmnn I dunno, maybe its time to change to a more politically correct picture. Anyway after having just been rejected, I would like to think that my thoughts are still cloudy. A lot of people are attractive but it doesn't mean anything right? As Foxy last time put it, its not how nice one is, its just how suitable that is more important. I'll just call it the X-factor. The factor that no one will be able to comprehend and yet have to accept its existence.

Gotta sleep now, I'm quite tired after today, and the wet weather is giving my leg the aches again. Think its a case of rheumatism now.. albeit a mild one. Btw, met a lot of anti social bastards today, will blog about them tomorrow.

Mff....

Very bored at home today, nearly cried out some tears. Oh yeah right.. I was about to go to JP to run an errand for my mama until I realised dear sister took both the car and the all-important NTUC linkcard with her. Doh!
Waited about 3 hours for her to come back, before setting off to JP. Bought myself a new optical mouse too because the one I'm using is a total wreck due to constant abuse, I must admit.. hehe.

The new mouse is quite smooth and to my liking I must say, its from A4 Tech and I bought it at Popular for $27.90. A bit heartache.. $28 bucks fly off already.. :(

Going to JP really brings back the memories of "nights-off" during our army days, it is still so full of people, you can see lots of guys in their No.4 uniform, either with fellow pathetic beings or with their girlfriends. Haha~ Yeah we were the former, last time.. so sad zzz.

Ok people, here's the sad song of the day although I'm not feeling sad. Doh!
Its 认错 by 优克李林.
Don't know if this is the actual Chinese characters but I guess its more or less correct.
If you don't have the song you can get it from me :)

Ivan reminded me..

One fine day I was eating at a restaurant at Kitcheney/Kitchener road. Its near Mustafa that area anyway..

We ordered a "squirrel-fish". Hmnn in Chinese it was 松鼠鱼。
So perhaps the fish looks like a squirrel (no it doesn't in its cooked form) but why isn't it squirrel look like the fish?

Then we would have something like .. garoupa-rodent or sardine-rodent. Isn't that an interesting thought like... DOH! Haha~ but I think main reason is because humans chanced upon squirrels first lah.. DOH!

Yuanz is now reading my blog and interrogating me, I feel so naked.. help!

Hairy Pooter

My apologies, it should be Hogwarts, not Hogsworth or whatever.
Just finished watching American Idol finals. I thought Diana rocked for the first 2 songs but somehow she apparently screwed up her last song, whereas Fantasia murdered her first song "All my life" by Haley brothers or more commonly Kci & Jojo.

I don't know why so many people like Fantasia, maybe she has a Macy Gray voice, maybe she has a lot of stage presence, but I still can't figure out exactly why she's so popular. I don't think her voice is really that special and unique, its just her way of performing her songs that is more special.

Oh but that Diana looks totally like my neice, they both have those 'dying to be pinched' cheeks and are generally on the fleshy-plumpy side, and they both look very cute. Haha, her face looks like Barbie too~

So if you give me the winning vote, I'll reinstate Latoya London and make her the American Idol because if you're looking for a pop superstar, nobody's close to her in terms of vocal technique. (surprised?)

Btw, I have a Kbox voucher, it gives 2 complimentary drinks ... expires 31st May 2004, so whoever gets me to Kbox first wins the voucher.. haha~

Am I bloody smart or what?

Not academically for sure...

But I did manage to pick a 555 lock on my wardrobe within 3 minutes I reckon. Yeah it was my maiden try.

"I've had no professional training whatsoever.."

It was quite fun actually, prying open the lock with a screwdriver, and using another 'fine' screwdriver (almost needle tip) to try to fiddle around with the springs inside. My dad was already trying it to no avail then he went off to find the key. Then I took over, I put in the fine screwdriver, turned the keyhole with the other one and then 'tadah!!'

It was like in the LOTR when the Fellowship was stuck outside the mines of Moria (Say friend and enter) then when the door opened everyone just stunned down there. So when the keyhole started to turn I was super excited, like some Hairy Pooter I mean.. Harry Potter movie, the place with the rotating staircases, think its Hogsworth. Super exciting stuff back then, anyway I managed to turn the keyhole halfway then I thought it was opened cos I heard a super loud "click"

Turns out it was only opened halfway! Gahh!! Then my dad of course came down and blame me for being too "kanchiong" lah.. all sorts of stuff then he continue to pry the lock. After about 5 minutes he gave up then I took over. The moment he left, the keyhole turned instantly.. haha. Probably took 5 seconds I reckon, I was super jubilant.
*Hehe 死老爸,try to "steal my glory" wahahaa!*

Disorganised..

are my thoughts, that is.. and that is the way that my blog will be.
I'll just mention some highlights of the trip I guess..
Aiyah I'll just give a condensed version!

Day #1.
We arrive via complicated ways and routes, discover that resort is cheap for a reason.
Not much stuff to do so plan what we gonna do the next day.
Day #2.
Rented the van, ran around Langkawi, including a waterfall, Tanjong Rhu beach and Kuah which is the "town" of the island.
Ate at Fish Farm restaurant which was so crowded, with mosquitoes..
Drove the screwed up van back to hotel where we downed some liquor bought at a supermarket before turning into bed.
Day #3.
Had to reveille quite early to go to Pulau Payar which is an offshore island 1 hour away by ferry.
Snorkelled around in clear seawater. Common misconception: Don't ask me why but a lot of people are surprised when they taste the clear SEAwater and exclaim that its salty. Doh!
Chased a juvenile shark.
Chased by juvenile sharks. (ahh.. no lah siao..)
Watched shark feeding.
Watched baracuda feeding. (Not sure about the spelling, but its a huge.. fish..)
Snorkelled somemore, watched some locals teach 2 Japanese girls how to 'dive' (allegedly eating their .. tofu? hehe..)
Went back to mainland, back to hotel, showered and attempted to rest.
Decided to rent the van for a couple more hours and went to some restaurant to eat again.
Oops, its spelt "restoran"
Fed more mosquitoes, visited the same souvenir shop I visited about 3 years ago.
Drove back to hotel to stone and play "assorted games" aka gossip and bitch.
Day #4.
Took plane to KL, took bus to Sungei Wang, shopped/stoned around till night, took the night train to JB.
Stoned the way home.

Yayee

Ahhh...

I'm back. After lots of clowning around in Langkawi, its time to face up to reality..
Did pretty badly this semester. In fact it was a total "buang", of 9/11 proportions..

Anyway Langkawi was quite wallet-friendly experience though I don't think I will go back anytime soon unless I'm going back to Holiday Villa which in my opinion has one of the better beaches.

Will give a longer, detailed, entry after dinner I guess. So long for now.

Tuesday, May 18, 2004

Day-O..

Listening to the banana boat song now (techno version)
I can't wait to see the long, unspoiled beaches of Langkawi again!!! Hopefully there will be kayaking available and loads of fun!

So exciting I can hardly sit still while I ponder what else to pack into my bag. Hehehehehehee!!!

Monday blues..

Went to work early in the morning carrying an upset stomach. What's new... zzz
I was very unwell the whole morning until the baby nephew Russell came over and that shy boy was surely the star of the coffeeshop. He runs to people with food like a positive charge accelerates to a negative charge... only maybe faster.

After playing with him I felt much better, can't explain why also.

Anyway there weren't many IRA today, in fact none. Well but early in the morning 2 office "girls" came down. I used quotation marks because you can't really tell if the office girls are really girls or obasan(s) with their make up on. Well anyway one of them was a looker.. haha. And hell, they sure bought a lot of food. Like $45 worth .. Damned shiok, they sure increased today's sales by a substantial amount.

But hey, after IRAS here comes SRS (Stupid Random Stories..)

Today's SRS is the .. weirdest I have encountered since I helped out at the coffeeshop. That's about.. 9 years already! Anyway here it goes...

Customer: Table 14 please, thank you.
Me: 要不要皮蛋还是豆干?
Customer: Eh... 可以不要吗?
Me: ...

Stunned by that question, that was crazy.. I told my mother's worker she laughed like mad.. in discretion lah of course. But seriously who the hell would ask that question??? Oh man, wahahahaha!!

Later in the day although I was feeling damned tired already, still met up with PC Lee better known as "hardcore" for some reasons you people shouldn't know.. haha!
Watched "Troy" the movie and found it to be .. average. It was ok I suppose, a bit over-hyped as are most movies nowadays. But I was noticing how the soldiers of Troy held their spears, some of them held it so that their forearms are horizontal, some are slanting.. think the parade commander should sign extra. LOL..

Anyway, never knew that Archilles heel came from such a weird story.. a bit silly right. If the arrow hit Archilles in the.. groin then... "Archilles crotch?" Hehe~ Alright enough of the movie, its ok but i wouldn't want to watch it again... so long and draggy..

After that went to BK with PC .. that goon is smoking like no tomorrow, he evidently tried out the Nicorette patch and he claims he doesn't work. Plus, he got sick after he used it.. and now he's blaming Nicorette.. anyway I think there are only 2 types of smokers in this world lah.
#1: Non-smokers..
#2: "Trying to quit" smokers..

Trying out my new Nokia 3120 or dunno what silly model now. Cost $73, I wonder how friends are able to afford such chio phones at the expense of.. I don't know what. I'd rather spend it on food... People can own super sleek camera phones and have like less than $20 in their bank accounts.. irony isn't it?

Will be gone from 19th May till.. 23rd? I'm bad at remembering dates except my ORD, birthday and NDP. Haha, no lah.. but I'm really bad at remembering dates.. Will go to Langkawi to 吹吹风,散散心。。

By the way, just caught an episode of Nip/Tuck on channel 5. Perhaps the best show they've shown since... pyramid game.. HAHA no lah but the show is really damned good. Had me cringing a la "passion of the christ" Not to mention lots of flesh to be seen.. woo la la.. haha!

Tomorrow gotta pack for Langkawi trip, zzz must make sure I have all my gear ready. Peace.. :)

Earlier on that fateful day...

I was still woozy man... just reached the Mazda showroom and they showed a video. Apparently it was showcasing the vast improvements they have made to the 13B rotary engine found inside the Mazda RX7.

Of course the engine was given a new name "Renesis".. it was soooo impressive argh!!!
No wonder it was engine of the year, I thought BMW's straight 6 would retain the title but Mazda did it.. not like I'm a fan but you have to admire their ingenuity in designing the rotor housing of the engine.

Think almost nobody will understand what the hell I'm saying so.. here's the condensed version!!! Yayee!!

1. 13B rotary engine is unable to combust all the fuel as well as intake gases completely, uncombusted gases are retained inside the rotor housing.
2. Conclusion: 13B sux..
3. Renesis engine solves this problem.
4. Conclusion: Renesis engine rocks!
5. Yayee! Engine of the year!

Renesis is able to "push" the uncombusted gases out of the rotor housing, and back into the combustion chamber, so you can think of it as "recycling"
Now if only I could get my hands on that video.. zzz

Fitness on MSN?

Er, there's this link about quality running by Ed Eyestone.

Ed Eyestone, a two-time Olympic marathoner and men's cross-country coach at Brigham Young University, has a master's degree in exercise physiology.

Wow... anyway I just lift a little bit off MSN lah .. haha

Quality: It's the time you spend with your family, or the kind of engineering you want in a new car. It's also the type of running you have to do if you want to run and race well. So what distinguishes quality running from plain old running? In a word: intensity. Quality running demands an increased effort above your daily, comfortable pace. Whether it be through speed work or hills, quality running increases your workload, and when done regularly, it boosts your performance. That said, there's a limit to how much quality you can safely and effectively pack into every week.



The full article can be read here, it has been aptly titled "how to run like an Egyptian"

*those fools, they didn't know Egyptians used DHL... hahaha*

Meaningful...

Yeah.. I was reading this to achieve inner calm and serenity...

No lah, I just went to sleep.. doh!

Oh I almost forgot to blog about this.. its really super irritating and farked up but being the calm and mentally sound me.. I .. I...

IRA #1 walks in with IRA #2
#2: Eh 我要那个酥虾饼(su hei pia in hokkien)
#1 proceeds to select a plate full of 五香.

#1: Er.. 这个。。 包hor..
Me: Ok..

#1 passes me 2 plates of 五香 like 30 seconds later..
#1: 这个也是包起来。。
Me: 那这两包可以参在一起吗?
#1:Eh, ok..

Of course I put the 2 plates together so now the stuff will be deep fried and put into 1 container. Hope you guys roger so far.. haha!

#2 saunters back after ordering her prawn noodles.. and takes yet another plate.
#2 orders more food from us, then tell me to 包起来..

I then confirm with #2 who is really VIRA(very irritating random auntie) that there are a total of 3 packets. She verify liao then guai guai go and sit at table 12. Meanwhile there is like and endless stream of customers and we are all super stressed, hot and shagged and rushing like hell..

I pass #1 her first 2 packets, she eyes me suspiciously and asks me why I mixed up the 2nd and 3rd plate. I give her a puzzled look and told her, "我刚才问你,你又说可以。"

Now #1 gives me a puzzled look, puzzled + blur, that @!(#*!@)%$ dumb arse!!!

#2 is really the best she literally "diao" me and shoots "你为什么参起来。。。" in the most painful and dulan tone possible.

Me: ... (-_-")

Later on I bring out the 3rd and final packet and i was super stressed cos I had yet to return the change to somebody else and the stall is so crowded and the coins are running out and the foodstuff is also running out. Ultra stressed.. and now #2 asks me, how much is it.

Me: $12.30
IRA#2: 多少钱?
Me: 全部 $12.30..
SDVIRA#2:我知道!我的多少钱?!!(I can't describe the tone as anything better than a bark)
btw, SDVIRA = super duper very irritating random auntie..

Oh god, who the f gives a damn how much your bloody packet cost. JUST GIVE ME $12.30 THEN I CAN BLOODY DO MY WORK LA!! After yelping and barking for a few more minutes she finally gave me $12.30 bloody hell waste my time during peak hour.

That's it for IRAS.. btw, IRAS NOT = Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore..
IRAS = Irritating Random Auntie Stories... haha!

More to come for sure!! For now.. yayee!!

But if you still don't understand here's the condensed version..

#1 gives me 1 plate to take away.
#1 gives me 2 more plates to take away.
She tells me the last 2 plates, can be mixed together.
#2 gives me 1 plate, and confirms that there are 3 packets in total.
I give the 2 "ladies" 2 packets first which belong to IRA#1.
I shoot #1 a puzzled look.
#1 shoots me a puzzled look.
#2 shoots me a 包公 look.
I pass #2 her last packet and tell her its $12.30 in total.
She asks me how much it costs.
I say $12.30
She demands to know how much her own packet costs.
Both IRA leave and I silently curse them..

Haha the curse part was honestly fake lah.. not that evil. Afterall, need their money lehhh!

How?

To carry on as per normal?? I don't even want to message her anymore. I feel .. kind of bitter and angry inside yet I don't want to harbour such feelings because up till now there is no single human who has really really made me that angry before.

I remember I was telling her that night that I still don't understand what she was trying to say.. and she replied to me "yes you do"
I said something else and she just told me to stop, it was.. downright rude.. I hated and still hate to chat with people like this.. it was really very disappointing. Maybe you could describe it as .. chatting with an ATM machine.. only yes/no answers will be dispensed. Is it really that hard to communicate with someone?

So I think its best not to contact her at all. She hasn't been included into the invisible list or blocked on MSN, because I think that would show a weakness on my side ...

I guess everything happens for a reason and its really part of growing stronger...

"God doesn't play dice with the Universe" - Albert Einstein...(although its with regard to the probabilistic nature of quantum physics.)

So with regards to YY's post.. I still don't know what to do, I'll try to be myself. Yeah, and save all my loving for my MAMA!!!

I'm ok ( I think so..?)

Taken from Zhihao's blog.

One quote from some book juz popped into my mind again ... sounds ever-so-true

"Love is blind? No, love is unconditional. It is lust and seduction that is blind."


Oh well whatever that means, it still means that Mazda 6 2.3 VVT is still number 1 choice for me! Cefiro, it will be number 1 choice in 30 years.. for now, life is getting around in fast wheels, twin exhausts and a sunroof that comes as standard.

Now everytime think of her will forcefully think about the test drive in the Mazda 6.

Random songs in my head today..

Fool again by Westlife for obvious reasons..
太傻by巫启贤
给你一些不给一些by林志炫
Think Lin Zhi Xuan's name might be wrong but.. oh well..
Long long day... :(

Freedom

Was what she wanted.. no commitments, no need to report to anyone. No responsibilities to carry at all.
What did I want? Come to think of it, I never thought of anything much other than trying it out.

I thought I was gaining some ground, I thought I was making progress, I never would expect I was so fucking fucking FUCKING FUCKING wrong. Never in my fucking whole life have I been so wrong, its as wrong as saying Boon Lay is near Pasir Ris. I was totally stunned I just fucking stared at the screen for like 2 minutes..

"i gotta let ya know something, that whatever I said last time still stands.."

My mind went blank, I was totally disillusioned.
Apparently she was STILL (after .. 7 or 8 months) apprehensive about building a relationship and having to commit, having to bear responsibilities.
I just couldn't believe my eyes, who the fuck thinks so far ahead when you haven't even started or given it a try?

I talked to her some more but I soon realised she was hellbent on staying single, probably for at least a few more years until she meets a better someone. Who I think would have to be a guy version of Mother Theresa or something like that.

"you are a very nice guy but I cannot give what you want."

What did I ever want? I asked myself over and over.. What did she think I wanted? I was stunned yet again.. Felt exactly like my MA1505C paper except it was worse. I didn't even think that far, I only thought of trying out a r/s with her, someone you could talk to or share your woes together. Is that very hard to "give"? I've been giving these "services" even without being in a relationship..
I couldn't help it but the tears just flowed, they didn't stop till about 20 minutes later.. Another first.. I felt so bad I was just quivering with tears rolling down. This hasn't happened in the last 10 years i guess.

Winamp, being sympathetic decided to play Andy Lau's 忘了隐藏.. and the rate of flow increased maybe twofold... after that was Leon Lai's 心在跳. Most amazingly, the next song was Zhen Zhong Ji's 戒情人. I just couldn't help it man.. Winamp was on RANDOM I swear to God. It was playing my favourite super sad songs in quick succession.

After talking to her a bit more, her 语气 was kind of like ... I can't describe it but her messages were peppered with "haha" here and there. I felt super pathetic and I told her that. Sigh, Jianwen (arrow proof monk) just sent me an article regarding similar situations..
"you're making me angry" implies you have no control over your emotions and others are controlling you. "you're making me feel really pathetic" .. I had no control of my emotions then.. but who could blame me?

I'm so sorry for myself, for putting in so much effort for the past 7 + months. I thought it would work out to become something nice but life dealt me a cruel card. After this I guess I have lost quite a lot of confidence in girls, of course there are "greener pastures" out there, and countless "nicer girls" out there but I guess all i need is time to recover from this .. shock.

And dear BBSSRCPCMO can you please wake up your bloody idea and learn how to comfort your bestest when he's down?? Say something better than "That's life" or "I've seen worse cases" blah blah..

Anyway, that's the end I guess its been most unfortunate that she has a mindset that cannot be changed and I'm at a loss at what to do. I cannot change her mindset, I've tried my best, I am not at fault, I should concentrate on other stuff, occupy myself with other stuff and forget about her. All easier said than done.

Dear ppl, I would appreciate it if you all don't suan me or over comfort me in my tagboard, I'm generally ok :)
Will continue to love cars, will resume swimming, and running and jogging and tennis and volleyball and perhaps not gunbound cos she plays it now.
Maybe some advise on how to retain our friendship will be appreciated..

My thanks go out to Eliz the bestest(wake up ur idea lah), GX, Beng, his sister Yeing yeing, Jing kai, and old buddy Nick..
Yes I whined to this many people when I was down.
Just remembered this nice song by Beatles..
"with a lil help from my friends.."

I'm glad to have you :)

Zoom zoom...

Still feeling a bit woozy..

Anyway, today we celebrated Mother's day cos my parents had their off day today. Went to Spring Court to have an ultra heavy lunch which was simply woozylicious..

After that I drove the freaking Citroen Berlingo to send my dad and sis to visit a Chinese doctor. You could hear my sis wailing in pain as the doctor massaged her knee.

But that's the least interesting part of the day.. because later on we went to...
Machpherson MAZDA showroom!!! Wah damned exciting!!
1st impressions : Mazda salesmen are damned f-up.. my dad was already inspecting all the cars and opening their doors, trying the seats and all that and nobody, not even 1 salesman went up to him to offer any assistance. Simply amazing..

So after bio-ing the Mazda 6 2.3 VVT and the simply stunning Mazda 3 GTS.. we left without a test drive even though a salesman eventually came..

Next stop, Nissan showroom @ Bukit Timah!!
The saleswoman was super duper ultra friendly.. no lah she was friendly and greeted us almost instantly the moment we stepped out of the van. Took a look at the Fairlady Z (350Z) and found out it looks quite good in red too!

Next, Cefiro 2.3L and 2.0L models.. the saleswoman showed us a lot of intriguing functions and super duper ultra high tech jargon. Like the keyless entry system, keyless engine firing up system, auto retracting rear sunshade, auto unlocking doors, auto air conditioning system, climate control, foot operated parking brake, cruise control.. the list is endless.

Most impressive part about Cefiro would have to be the silky smooth yet immediate response of the V6 engine.. my dad test drove the 2.3L model and according to him the turning radius for such a large car was impressive (5+ metres) and the gearshifts could not be detected. Since its a naturally aspirated engine, meaning it isn't force-fed, the throttle response was very good. Another thing to note is like you're in some super duper cocoon of comfort.. and the world just whizzes by. Too bad the V6 engine is a little muffled by the excellent sound insulation ..

Conclusion: Nissan Cefiro = Budget Mercedes E class..

I thought that would be the end, but hey, Chun Tin road had another Mazda showroom!

Parked and saw the rather secluded showroom with lots of salesmen outside smoking their lives away. Anyway, walked in and saw the beautiful and stunning Mazda 3 GTS again (damned chio..)
Blah blah yada yada fast forward to test drive.. my dad test drove the Mazda 6 2.3 VVT car. So what's with all the numbers? 2.3 is the engine capacity, its basically a Mazda 6 with a transplanted engine from the Toyota Camry with variable valve timing.

So as we move off, the salesman tells us in a most nonchalent manner "err this car 0-100km/h is about 7.3 seconds on paper. Yeah.. but I try before only 8 seconds lor.."

7.3 seconds??? That's .. really fast.. normal 1.6 litre saloons would do well to make it under 10 seconds.. Oh well as we turned out onto the main road my dad stepped on the accelerator and you could feel the "kick in the kidneys" from the superb low end torque!!
Ahh damned exciting and fun. Not to mention the aural delight you get when you hear the engine as the revs rise towards 4000rpm. It basically rocketed away and the salesman explained "Mr Lee, just now your revs only up till 3000rpm ah, the peak torque output occurs at 4000rpm.."

Wah seh so fun so damned fun. Mazda 6 2.3 VVT is so damned appealing! With a full bodykit, sunroof that comes as standard and with that fierce looking twin exhaust + 17 inch alloys.. its a car to kill for. Woozy woozyy.. very woozyyyyy

Too much woozyness can hurt you know.. =D cannot take too much in 2 days consecutively!
Needless to say, you can tell which car I'm voting for.. =D

*Torque magazine quotes 0-100kmh for Mazda 6 2.3 as 9.5 seconds.. lying salesman"

So happy

And probably only BBSSRCPCMO knows why..
Watched 50 first dates the movie today it was genuinely a good movie.
Had lunch at crystal jade @ Suntec which was kinda sucky.. then went to adidas @ suntec too to shop in advance so that jkaiser can help me buy at discounted rate.. =D
(shameless biatch)

Then there was the movie, then took transport back to Clementi, shopped around, even went to big bookshop... not before "pausing" in front of jewellery shop. Haha.. that detail I told BBSSRCPCMO only ..so only she will understand haha~

Then I took bus back from Clementi home. Listening to my 江美琪 album which in my opinion is a totally woozylicious album. Yeah.. woozy is an adjective in the Great Nanhua dictionary... what does it mean? Well its universal.. like..

Oh you woozy son of a ...
That babe is just woozylicious..
You're my bestest fondest woozyest wonderfulest..
etc etc..

Happiness rating for today.. 20/10
Yayee~~!!

Countdown liao lo...

Hohohoho!!!

Anyway here's the lame joke for today, or rather lame action.. real life of course~

IRA : How much?
Me : $7.20
(I collect $10 bill and proceeds to return her the change)
IRA : What about these? Mine? (points to large amount of coins on my tray)
Me : Oh these? Of course! (slams tray with chilli and the 甜酱 on her head in 1 swift motion)
Me : *Flashes the widest smile I could while thinking to myself "nice try.."

北极雪, 下在冬天,寂寞不寂寞。。
blah blah yada yada..
你要试着了解试着体会用心好好感觉, 然后你才能够看得见, 快乐伤悲。。
也许我的眼泪,我的笑脸,只是完美的表演。
听说北极下了雪, 你可会也觉得它很美。。
WAHAHAHAAAA

Oh man.. reminds me of 1505C lectures.. hahahaha
Brrr.. freezing man..

1. Rudely awakened at 10am by 老小姐. Apparently Dad called me and hung up.. Duh!
2. Rudely awakened at 10:30am by 老小姐 and my grandma. Dad calls to say the van can't be started.
3. Attempts to start the van successfully in my semi-consciousness.
4. Successfully attempts to reverse van into the driveway in a half-drunken half-asleep stupor.
5. Arrowed to send van for servicing immediately.
6. Reaches Citroen servicing center at 1 + pm only to find out I need to make an appointment.

Moon..

Yesterday night's moon was a full or near-to-full one. It was really very bright, illuminating my room at 2am. It was only when I went to sleep that I realised how bright the moon really was. It was illuminating the whole sky, the carpark, it felt like 6:30 am when it was 2 am.

I felt like taking a picture but I knew that my camera would not be able to capture the whole scenery into 1 photograph. Maybe that's why painters are still in business today.. heh. Well I think my friend Nick would be able to borrow a suitable camera but it would need special film (dunno how many mm film) and it would need to be developed by my own means.

So sad I had to miss my "HD" today due to last minute activation to work. My dad also said lots of stupid nonsensical remarks that got me really fuming but since the day is over it should be forgotten..

Will be going to Langkawi with BBSRCPCMO and the rest of the buangsters.. together we shall "celebrate" buang-ing our exams...
I quote BBSRCPCMO ... "yayeeee"

Today at coffeeshop...
Irritating Random Auntie (IRA)

IRA#1 : How much is the beehoon?
Me : $1.
IRA#1 : So expensive??! (Expresses shock, disbelief, perhaps going to 反桌(flip table) anytime..)
Me : Yes its $1...
IRA#1 : Why so expensive??
Me : Why ask so much? You want the beehoon in your stomach or on your head?
Me : ... (fumbles for correct change and then report to Mother..)
