Congrats to my man, Tharin... his red hot vw is being featured in euro tuner web site..hands up and pants down for this 'nothing better to do,y not tear up my car dude'..wicked stuff!..hope it will be printed on the mag.. http://www.eurotuner.com/web/0502et_readersride/index6.html

not much for me to complain, now that i'm in the comfort of my home and in the company of my 11 heavenly frens. things sure ain't going my way for the past few weeks, rather topsy turvy one way relationship with some of the people in camp. But like e rainy day,the sun will eventually shines again so not much to worry about i guess.hahaha..just happy that i can atleast get out of the cell for the weekend, catch up with the boys and girls, watch the last few episode of initial d, drink teh tarik in the wee hour of the night and wake up to howie day - collide. feels good to be home, even the threatening weather breathe warmth.. it's a lazy day.. time for me to laze around.. thank you bro for ya concern!..i'll c u guys around!

look at the time................................................

i might wanna try doing juz tt.............................................

sometimes i just feel the need to sit down, turn up the music and chill.
absence of thought makes me feel just so damn good.
back to work. feeling motivated as ever

new start of the week...2dae i had my medical appointment..so half day in camp...den went 2 tan tock seng...relac day...shiok shiok...so fast...OCT liao..veri soon NOV...den all of us can gather again...tharin n the guys in aussie...cant wait man...haha!!! den comes x'mas!!! den 2006!!! yeh!!! day by day closer 2 ORD!!! cant wait 2 get out frm army...our poor bro, mj got stuck in camp la...due 2 his medical condition, he cant join his unit pple for exercise in brunei...so they kept him in camp..WTF!!! tat's not reasonable la..evil sia!!! haiz..now duno even know wen he can book out...sian diao...guys!!! call him n chat wif him okok...comfort him 2...he needs us!!!

i am feeling so... i don't know what either. just a feeling that i can't any words for, can't describe. i know it is there, cause i feel it, but i don't know exactly what. but never mind me, i am just rambling on and on, cause it is a rainy day,(super heavy rain), and i just love rainy days. i wish i was tucked under the covers instead of being here-in front of the computer- but i guess when you are wide awake, there is nothing you can do to make yourself go to bed.

actually i can't afford to ramble, i have piles of work waiting for me to go decipher, tons of essays waiting for me to work my magic-haha. but as your typical average student, well last minute work seems to work best for me. and so i am still at square one-stuck here on this blog. but it is not as though it is bad thing or anything.

i wished i had a clue as to what is going on in your lives. but i guess most of you don't know either what i am going through, so fair and square. sometimes i feel that friendship is either measured through quality or quantity. time is in favour in our case. which is not such a bad thing even if we don't have substance(i don't mean to say that we are all himbos and bimbos pretending to be really friends). at least i don't pretend to be somebody else when i am in any of your company. plus most of you are so far far away, so distance is working against us. but whatever it is, when we do meet up, we always-more or less- have good times. just like the good ole innocent days. And that is enough-for me at least.

i share a love hate relationship with my dog. i hate him when he makes me go chasing after him, i love him when he is all curled up and sleeping-meaning not mobile, so i don't have to keep watch on him eating something that he ain't suppose to eat.

and so i am rambling on and on, uttering and muttering i don't know what. this whole thing don't really make much sense, but i blog it anyway. you guys can just dismiss this as long rubbish.

P.S i love watching tv when i am stress or upset.

the link didnt come out nicely on the tag board. enjoy!! its damn funny

i wish i had something to say, something to blog, any train of thought to share but i don't. so let me sit here and stew on what im thinking right now.

ok i no longer think too much and all im occupied with is school work and my other job and i wish i could just study and not keep to my other job for more than one reason but if i do im stopping a more than decent inflow of available cash which would propel me in the direction im heading. so i shall have to stick to the current arrangements for as long as im still in uni.

i wish i could go watch michael buble, lisa ono and tao zhe when they all arrive in singapore for their individual concerts. i shall consider my options later and decide. hmm..i shall follow the method of elimination and get rid of buble cuz i dun even own any of his cds plus i wouldnt even call myself his greatest fan. as for ono, i like her music but i think she's gonna sound just like her cds since she's the tight-lipped sorta singer who will only sing and play the guitar and smile occasionally and say "it's great to be in singapore and thank you all for coming". so then, i think i shall watch tao zhe, at least there's jen who's keen on goin too plus i like him and his songs and at least i can use the excuse of wanting to improve my mandarin by attending a chinese concert where the singer doesnt mumble. maybe i'll be surprised at what stunts he might pull; a lamb onto the stage, funny costumes that i can laugh at and who knows, wang lee hom might just be his guest star at his concert. see, thats what i like about chinese concerts, they surprise you. and you usually get a better deal cuz in actual fact you're paying to see more than one star.

and i've officially surpassed jen as being kimura takuya's number one fan.

et viola, my train of thought is finally coherent.

i need a break!... anyone else? 

...wonder why...

hey~start of a new wk...looking forward 2 the wkends onli...sux...got posted 2 sungei gedong~armour camp...so suay la...freaking far frm home...now cant wait 2 ORD onli...

yo oz boys heard from a unresourceful source that the pple of oz get taxed like about 20++% if they earn between 1000k-2000k+ and subsequently heavier tax for those who earn more?..is it true they get taxed so much? is there a capped on how much the gov can tax on each individual for example like max50%of their salary? do they get taxed monthly or annually and according to my 'source' people who earn 10000k+ per month get taxed 50% of their salary n thus they only bring home 5000k+ per month instead?.. sounds weird i think..enlighten me..thks!

hi people...haven't seen you all in yonkers...anyway ive had alot going on these couple weeks. Firstly, had to settle some issues with the gf then had to go to bangkok for a couple of days to visit my mom's family. We also had to move house which was a bloody pain in the butt.... we renovated the house so had to move to an apartment downstairs for a while then just moved back in to our house again...its much nicer than before i must say although im still hoping to be able to build the entertainment system i've wanted for a while. No money la...hehe. But then i had to move out of my old house in indiana, then move to detroit, then move my shit from detroit back to indiana into storage..then come home and move this house...then when i go back to indiana i have to move to my new place again. So i think i quite pro mover already..but see beh sian man. Anyway my dad is trying to save up to buy himself a z3...might come sometime soon but i highly doubt it. He really wants it but my younger sis and mom are mad at him for wanting to buy it now since we still have to pay for the renovation costs as well as all our school fees. He also upgraded his car to the new 5 series. Made sense to get the new 5 instead of fixing the gear box problem that the old car was having because financially it was more feasible. But cos he specially ordered cruise control for his frequent trips to malaysia, its only coming next month after i leave...IRRITATING!

So, with respect to ben's car. If its not too much more expensive, I would say that you build a monster out of your engine. Like get your cylinders bored, port and polish, get bigger cylinders, new valve springs, valves, crankshaft, cams. You might need an LSD also...but im not sure bout auto cars. The works la basically. Cos right, the way i see it, the mada cant possibly ask you to freakin open up your engine to see what parts you have. Then after all that is done, go get the car a new ECU program and get it professionally tuned. The problem with celica's is that even though on paper your horsepower is 180bhp, it is utterly useless because it only kicks in in a range that is completely out of the range of normal driving. Unless you intend on goin more than 140 km/h in singapore...you will never see the 180bhp. Remember last time when we 'raced' outside wheelock? Thats evidence right there...you only had chen in your car and i had 3 other pple in mine. My moms car is only a 318 so it shouldnt give anything a fight at all. So if you could get the car tuned to bring the power band to a lower rpm...i bet you will have a ton more fun with it. Just my 2 cents thats all. Thing to keep in mind is that building an all motor race car is waaaaaay more expensive than just slapping on a turbo or supercharger. BUT a properly build all motor car will last you a heck of a lot longer than a car with a turbo slapped on a stock engine that was not engineered to deal with pressures that it is suddenly seeing.

Anyway will be gone to Penang from Wed to Fri to see my grandparents. If you all remember the last time i was back my gdmother had a stroke...now shes having pneumonia and is in hospital. So, i figure its only right that i go up and visit also la. But i will def make it to Ben's bday celebration.

3rd of august 2005 will be the day I always remember. For it was one of the worst kind of experience a driver could face. My engine block(the bottom part of the engine) decided to give up on me just as I was about to hitthe highway...I'm glad I didn't for I would have caused a major chain collision. My engine just stalled..as I tried to crank the car to life....cars went past one by one w/o stopping....human reality kicked in at that very moment. I waited for the AA mechanic to come...he told me that the electrical system of my car wasnt to blame...my heart just dropped when I knew sumthing major must have happened to the engine system. They then towed my car on a flatbed or car carrier as my car was too low to be towed onto a normal tow vehicle.

As it reached the workshop of my choice, I was told to come back tmr as they wereclosing forthe day. My friend (the workshop owner) told me that he'll let me know the problem first thing tmr morning. I waited and waited..my hp rang....he broke me the bad news....my engine block has blown.....either I get another engine(think initial D) or I replace the parts broken such as the crankshaft, the pistons, the con rods and other stuff like the aluminium block.....costs were ard 3K if I managed to find a 2ndhand engine or ard 5K if I decided to replace the damaged parts....till now I've managed to find another 2nd hand engine after testing 3 celicas.....the cost is ard 3500 wif labour charges...super sian my bday celebration is ard the corner....go figure man.....

xl and jennifer you 2 lucky gals..better bring something back for me man.. not asking much though..i want nothing in particular but merely stories of ya adventure experienced during ya 'blitzkrieg' stay in central asia and down under, it will more than please me yeah!.. and not to forget PHOTOS!!..have fun ladies..cya~
