Due to my limited knowledge on HTML alignment..

I have to create a new post to describe the previous one. WTF! Here goes..

***

Today I will photo blog! Get ready to be bored to tears!

This first pic is obviously that of a dog. That has come to my place to seek refuge.
Its a real long story, basically owner A found it and one day after 2 months of happily staying at A's house, it barked non stop for 1 night. Perhaps he could see those stuff, lol. Neighbour complains and its now at owner B's place. Owner B is not even a Singaporean (neither is A) and stays at a rented condominium. Landlord doesn't like it so here it came.

I believe its a Yorkshire terrier but from the bark its more of a Yorkshire terror. Muahaha not funny.. :/

Some quick facts, his bark is rather fierce, his name is 'Ah boy', he hasn't poo-ed or pee-ed in our house which is a good thing but he barks to get us to take him outside for a pee/poo. I've picked up his shit twice already in 2 days (NB..)
He obeys commands in English (subject to ah boy's level of hype) such as 'sit' and 'stay' commands. Highly attention seeking and whines non stop (hence the nickname Mr Whiner/ Whiney) and failing to respond to his whining leads to loud, ferocious and deafening barks. (KNN, KPKB)


2nd and 3rd pics and just what I spent the past 2 days with, detailing the car. The bonnet, roof and boot isn't really that well detailed but these flat, vertical surfaces are usually much more attractive.

Process was simply
1. Rinse
2. Shampoo
3. Rinse
4. Claybar
5. Rinse/dry
6. Autoglym SRP(horizontal surfaces only)
7. Fusso99 12months sealant (horizontal less rooftop due to time and light constraints)
8. FK1 #425 quick detailer. (produced a very good shine with anti static effects/ increased slickness to the touch)

When I get my machine, I'll finally get rid of the stupid uneven issue with the sealant! Then its time to whack my arsenal! Whoo!!

Photo blog!

Long time no blog :/

Hehe lazy me, blogging should have been a fun and personal thing but now its becoming more and more like an obligation.

Been to Bangkok and back, its good to be alive wahaha! Fearful cab drivers (bonkers + drug addict drivers to spell it short)

Went for dinner and drinks today at Brewerkz.
Long story short, it was expensive and expensive. Haha but still can afford la at this point of time though I wouldn't want to visit it on a weekly, monthly or even yearly basis. The different selection on beers was interesting though!

Its been a long time since ang pao chia has been washed. She needs a makeover soon. I was thinking, if I have money = I am working = I can invest in tools to do up the car.
But if I am working = I don't have time = I no time to do up car.

Where do you draw the fine line? Where do you find the balance?

Hmmm although my English at this point is a bit muddled, but I hope you get my point.
Life is confusing, sleep is... comforting (quote of the month of October)

Peace out!

Just a small change

I've done away with the tagboard due to it malfunctioning. Perhaps too much bandwidth for them, can't keep up with the rising costs.

It was good while it lasted though, sayonara tagboard!

A good taxi driver and a really rotten one

I went to J's ex-colleagues gathering one Saturday back and from there (Sixth Ave), we took a cab to Jurong Point to catch a movie.

Flagged a Skoda Octavia cab and the driver whizzed off without much fuss. I was a little surprised by how briskly the cab accelerated from standstill, more like pinned to the backseat ya know?

I observed his driving and to be honest although he wasn't driving in a dangerous fashion, he was clocking on average 110kph on 90kph roads and 90kph on 70kph roads.
I also liked the way he slowed down when lanes were merging and he anticipated what another driver's behaviour was before he did any action. In the end the other driver was kind enough to let us pass so the cab driver went 'pedal to the metal' mode and we overtook with no fuss even on an upslope.

Just what a 2.5L diesel engine with a light pressure turbocharger (LPT) can do! Wee! I love Skoda cabs! For flag down its $2.80. Not that sure about the per km charge as it was too dark to read.




Warp to today, where I was driving around my neighbourhood waiting for the green arrow to make a right turn.

As the arrow came on, I depressed my clutch, shifted to gear 1 and 1 unclefucka taxi driver started honking me. Nvm, I curse and go thru the bend on 2nd, making sure I slow down as much as possible to make his blood boil even more.

Sure enough, he was behind me again on the next right! Yahoo! This time I turned right on 1st gear, which was like 15kph to annoy the shit out of his shithead.
He honked another 3 times and this time I seriously felt like getting out of the kawaii-no-berlingo and just ask him wtf he wants by honking.

Why do they honk so much? Is 1 or 2 seconds so damn important? If I were really carrying heavy or fragile goods then how? I really have to go that slowwwww can't you have more patience?

If not for the single crooked line and the long line of traffic waiting behind I woulda gotten out of my vehicle after I jam my brakes and stand in front of his cab. Perhaps sit on his bonnet and see what he wanna do.

Driving in Singapore needs some big improvements. Not so much about the illegal mods, the roads or anything. It has to do with the drivers' mindsets, these fuckanathans have to understand that the horn is used only in emergencies, not for slow van waiting to make a right turn!

Fucktards, they probably won't understand, I'll just trace them down and probably become some sort of vigilante myself :x
