A Va-Va-Vroom Way Of Life

The Good and the Bad

2006-06-11T22:13:00.000+08:00

Ok. the bad stuff first.
sis came home... parked the car and toppled my beloved Vespa!
SUPER sian but surprisingly not angry.
JUST KNN sian lor.
wtf man. taking time off to go repair it is one thing. being left without transport is another BIG THING. fuck manz
and the biggest sian thing is of course the fact that it's dented and severly scratched!
*sobs* it's no longer chio!
*sulks* luckily hong kong is coming up wed and i get to go shop!

the good stuff.
sat was the day my 2 best friends (of 12 years) got married after 12 years of paktok-ing.
well. actually they got married last year (ROM) but the banquet thing was on sat.
friday was out for some male bonding with the groom.
woke up feeling shitty cos we slept at 4 plus and had to be up by 6.
went through the whole running from house to house and tea ceremony with them (and of course the "torture" of having to get the bride first.)
i shall just skip all of the narration about what happened etc.
even though I am generally not the type and hate being the type, i shall allow myself to be truly sentiment here.
you see, seeing the two of them "complete the course" so to speak makes my teary eyed at a point in time yesterday. I guess maybe this is how it feels to be geniunely happy for somebody else? it's an undescribeable feeling of happiness - not the kind of happiness one feels for oneself say when u achieved a goal for yourself. it's a quiet but exceedingly overwhelming and selfless feeling of joy.
being deeply involved with the preparations (and the 12 years they went thru) really meant something to me. even though we are in our adulthood, it still feels like we were back in secondary school, doing and saying all those nonsense things that made life so carefree and enjoyable. and yet behind all these nonsense lies a friendship and bond that is unreplicable.
using more words would not be able to further describe or make clearer the feeling of happiness that ran through me yesterday.
"many happy returns, buggers"

Rally On

2006-05-04T23:58:00.000+08:00

today i attended a rally held in ang mo kio
wasn;t expecting much to say the truth
but i was rather impressed by the whole thing.
and swayed to a certain extent i must admit
they spoke well. really well. eloquent speeches.
good choice of words and pauses.
and what impressed me most?
its a toss up between the retorts (skilly crafted) and the spins on the words of their opponents
oh yes. and the bread and butter issues
and yes. that is what politics is about
hearing it struck a chord somewhere
maybe it's cos of the work i do.
somehow. i found it easy to identify with some of things they pointed out
maybe it's cos because of the work we do, we already know the flaws
at first i felt there was a disjoint between how i felt and how i think at work
then i realise. there is no disjoint
its merely cos i have not come across a paper i had to write that is against my conscience
or rather i did not come across a paper that requires me battle with heart over mind.
then again. if it did come my way and if i were told to write it in a certain manner, i probably wont have accepted the work.
so polling day is coming.
let's see if 6 May will go down in Singapore's history as a day to be remembered.

Game on

2006-05-01T14:19:00.000+08:00

been blogging last frequently cos frankly i have no idea what to blog about
nothing's happening at the workplace cos well. no one's around
agnes' last day was last friday.
man. one last person to talk to in office liao.
pain.
been spending time with the pers people playing board games
woohoo
settlers of catan. looks simple but it requires skills man.
and apparently we havn't been playing by the rules completely.
just read up on MORE rules.
wah zan.
headache.
at the rate we are going. we can never graduate to the expansion set.
the game of world domination and making money from properties and trains stations (damn you justin!! no more train stations for you) was good too. haha. playing at the void deck near law's place was something i have never done before. haha.
we are on the road to old men hood. imagine a bunch of ah-peks playing board games on the void deck - it's no longer chess!!
happy May Day people.

Workout

2006-04-18T12:16:00.000+08:00

despite attempts at loading my schedule and calendar with outings, events, work etc,
i am still finding myself idling. maybe i should be using that idle time to tidy my room, tie up loose ends with the financial advisor, catching up on my readings. but fuck no. i have to spend it stoning.
really. i kid you not. i am plain lazy damn it. must have caught it by looking at 2 pussies lying around. and for you dirty minds out there, I am referring to my 2 cats! they are slightly on the obese side and man can they sleep and stone.
and I think I have been spending too much time on dota too! been sleeping late cos of the game.
but it's the satisfaction of killing and maybe getting killed but ya - gang bangs are really satisfying.
wicked sick!!
there is perhaps some light at the end of the tunnel.
just signed up with planet fitness to get my exercise regime going. so ya man. if i have time after work, i shall hit the gym and work out. been a little weak this year and i suspect it's due to the lack of intense exercising. 2.4k runs, situps and dips at the exercise corners can only bring me so far.
so what's next? signing up for drum classes.

Seeing what things are

2006-04-14T02:01:00.000+08:00

dun you think sometimes we see things more than what it should be?
or see things as the way we wish them to be?
sometimes it attacks me so subconsciously i practically reel at moment of realising
that i am doing it.
it's disgusting that all i say
*pui*

on a separate note. stress and work makes me high
call me a geek of a workaholic but it feels good to be overworked sometimes
of course it would be even better if you are rewarded for a job well done but that's just an extra bonus (monetary bonus...ooohhhhhh) - that is if your boss fights for ya.
so ya. i like the adrenaline of deadlines to meet and how the mind sharpens itself to Terry Pratchett's Death God's Scythe degree in order to handle the challenge.
so bite me.
i just like my life to be an endless rush of events, happenings, sad, good, bad, wrenching
whatever.
so long i am not wasting any minute of it (sleeping doesn't count - cos sleeping is goooooddd) I am happy
no philosophy on whether what we are doing actually matters cos it does - it doesnt matter to me. you do something you learn. end of it.
i will devour experiences like a swarm of locust descending upon a mazie field.
bzzzzzzz

Below the Belt

2006-04-01T00:31:00.000+08:00

was chatting to me fren and it went something like this

fren: hey, what u doing in office still?
me: thinking lor
fren: thinking of what
me: thinking of work lah. what else
fren: orh. i thot u thinking about your bond.

O_O!!!!!

ass!!!!

Big Time Sadness

2006-03-24T11:14:00.000+08:00

Dunno why I am suddenly so sad. sulk sulk sulk.
the lao chio replied with a negative answer
nope
she doesn't have a job for me now.
but being nice she did say that there was a possible opening in Sept.
Sept!!! that's damn far man.
and it's only a possible opening.
oh crap man.
so should I wait for it or go secure a job someone else.
and in any case, she would probably interview alot more candidates for that possible vacancy
so means it's not like the job is mine for sure.
oh damn damn damn.
couldn't hit the home run.

V for Venetta

2006-03-21T16:45:00.000+08:00

Fucking awesome:

"This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

"Who?Who is but the form following the function of "what", and what I am is a man in a mask."

Karma, Nirvana and protecting yr own ass

2006-03-20T17:53:00.000+08:00

the lao chio is on leave today. haiz. means I have to wait another day before I get my answer.
damn.
but maybe it's worth the wait. *calls upon the powers - maybe if I say this enough times it will come true*
but seriously, as I was discussing with my cousin. it is indeed time for you to start a new chapter in my life. yes. i have started many new chapters in my life, and some have yet to close, but no harm starting another one right? besides, it is a chapter on an entirely new thing.
work in the office has been regressing back to the Dark Ages. only a small, and I do mean miniscule, group of us are truly friends and colleagues. and a few events have made me skeptical about some of my work relations. haiz. sometimes I think I am being victimised but then again everyone probably thinks the same way about themselves.
so never mind lor. i shall carry the black wok lor. until as such time that I cannot tahan, I shall unleash the five point heart exploding technique. but until then, i shall zen my way through.
sometimes I think it's best to just zen everything away and not be picky or small gas about certain issues. i mean, unless it gets me into serious serious shit, I shouldnt bother right? wen xin wu kui as they would say. and sometimes. it could be my fault as well? just that I dun know it? so the best is not to get too bothered by it?
but human nature is just not so forgiving. sometimes it's gets frustrating and the sense of being victimised and injustice sets in (from a personal perspective of course). then it goes downhill from there.
should I clarify or shouldn't I?
maybe if i endure good karma would descend upon me and good things will happen down the road? or maybe I should just clarify it during the final interview. just to clear my name - but that's so protecting my own ass right. aiyah. heck. why can't everyone be nice. i mean at least some mean people act they way they are - nasty and bad. what's worse are those that act friendly and talk to ya, but when it comes to self interest, they become worse than mean.
i think i need a bodhi tree.

The Truth is Out

2006-03-14T22:09:00.000+08:00

finally disclosed the secret
well not exactly disclosed since i parked the bike at home for 2 nights running
just that mom never had the time to ask me whose bike it was
lol.
the reaction was kinda unexpected of course
she was actually nice about it.
hah!
so yesh. i can park the bike at home liao
yeahhahahahahah

10 days

2006-03-07T23:40:00.000+08:00

She told me she would give me an answer in ten days
woohoo!
ten days
it's not too far.
i shall wait patiently for that blissful day to come.

Bored bored bored bored

2006-02-23T18:48:00.000+08:00

I am getting bored again. and I do think I am in a severe need for attention!
progress on my resolutions has, as usual, been predicatably slow.
why? i am not so sure. it's not as if work these few days have been so bloody overwhelming.
in fact i am spending a large amount of time online and chatting at home AND at work.
worrying worrying worrying
now i understand why some kids are bloody irritating jokers.
they want attention!
they are screaming "look at me look at me".
cos that's really kinda what i am doing now man,
walking around talking and cracking jokes.
man.
i need a challenge.
and dun tell me to take part in some adventure race at this point in time
as i told adrian. given my fitness, i will be crawling halfway thru the race.
so yes, i should be getting fit.
but man. sometimes i eat too much that by the time i get home i can't and shouldn't run.
zzzz
sometimes it;s too hot.
sometimes it's too wet.
heh.
doesn;t help that i dun have a watch to guage my timing now.
yeah yeah. excuses huh.
ok. today i shall run the 2.4 route as a sign of my commitment to training.

getting the groove

2006-02-21T21:57:00.000+08:00

yeah man.
feb is ending!
meeting with my lao chio coming up.
hah!

Taking it off

2006-02-18T15:30:00.000+08:00

I decided not to put it on..
yes. it would be safer if I had it on.
but, it feels much better if I dun have it on.
I feel experienced enough in any case.
all I have to do is to be careful.
exercise better control.
strangely i feel more complete not having it on.
at the point of ripping it off i felt satisfied.
yes...
it's been a year.
i finally can get the p-plate off my vespa.
yes!

shitty

2006-01-23T17:51:00.000+08:00

somehow, we always end up talking about shit.
why ah?
it's not as if we are obsessed with it. but somehow, the topic always comes up.
but anyways, yes. reason why i am blogging this is of course what i saw in the toilet today.
i thot only babies shit green coloured sticky shit.
i was wrong man.
someone just dumped a pile of this green shit in the toilet today and boy was it sticky
cos after 3 flushes, it was still there.
unlike lip, who is inclined to prod it away protecting his fingers only by cellulose, i just changed cubicle.
so frens, next time you shit green sticky shit. pls do the next guy a favour and prod yr shit away yrself. haha.

Procrasti-fucking-nation

2006-01-19T12:12:00.000+08:00

I think I have slogged hard enuf to earn myself a small respite from work to do a bit of blogging. away from terms like "legitimate expectations", "material breach", "reasonableness", "discriminatory", "arbitrary"... really I should have studied Law (no not lawrence) instead.
found that law requires just some common sense and confidence in delivering your views (and of course some understanding of legislations and legal principles, but really, if u can pass comprehension back in school, no problem here).
and the best part about a lawyer... u earn fucking shit loads of money. u charge according to the time u spent thinking! well, at least that's how a Queen's Counsel charge for his services. oh man. sit there drink coffee and ponder also can earn money. i also want.
anyways, though i started the new year with lots of ideas and resolution to get things done and rolling, surprise surprise. it's still dec 2005. crap.
i havn;t done anything concrete. much of it is spent dunno doing what and oh yes, there's DOTA.
amazing how much time it can take up.
so yes, i really should get my sorry ass moving. at least i managed to drag myself out for a run yesterday.
totally unfit man. but for the 400 bucks, i will press on.
oh. goodbye fucking mefloquine pills. can fill that the effects of that evil neuro-affecting medicine wearing off.
hahaha!
and Jon WONG - why did you enter the gate so early! me and lyz went to the airport and didnt catch even a glimsp of your fat ass leaving.
sad.

2006 and more tests!

2006-01-08T20:59:00.000+08:00

alrighty.
it's 2006.
this year i shall strive to really put things in action.
lolx.
i can hear my ass laughing.
out of the 100 things i said i would do, i typically only manage to do what.. 5 of them?
so this year, i should really do better and get my act together.
first, there's the furniture and decor of my room - man, i should really forget about waiting
for pple to help with (e.g. with the ferrying of furniture) and whatnots and get it done on my own
at the most take cab.
then there's the drums lessons, the volunteer work, the juggling and yes, trying to find out if there's indeed a sensible green movement (i.e. not CWO work as one of me frens described beach cleaning business) out there that i could participate in
and of course, there's my future i have to think about *yawns*
and yes, more laughter pls.
anyways, i just got back from vietnam and i must say that i enjoyed the trip and was really glad i decided to go despite having to leave my colleagues in the lurch, fly plane on some appts and use up my brownie pts with me boss.
cos well, one of the things i kinda rediscovered on the trip was the joy of backpacking and meeting pple.
and to cut things short - loads of other stuff as well. it also helps if one is travelling with an old fren.
CNY is round the corner. time to do more shopping...

Vietnam and Apologies

2005-12-29T00:21:00.000+08:00

Alrighty. Doing something last minute (again?) and going off to vietnam tmrw.
should be fun really.
i relish such impulsive decisions.
heh.
but more importantly, sorry to all that I have to fly plane.
i dun like to do this. in fact. i dun even do it.
but this time it's different.
lolx.
these past 2 weeks have indeed been one hell of a rollar coaster.
getting away appears to be the best.
so cheerios chaps.
see ya next year!

Drugs!

2005-12-27T22:55:00.000+08:00

damn. the drugs i am taking now is really taking me on a ride manz.
and i dun enjoy this emotional rollarcoaster ride... well.. it's just two emotions..
full annoyance/ dulan-ness and happiness.
fuck it. two more weeks and I will "wean" myself off it.
two more weeks someone's going off to USA. fuck.

Tumultousness Silence

2005-12-21T17:06:00.000+08:00

oh man. what a day *big grin*
the day started a little shitty (in fact, since last evening, it's been a little shitty)
actually it was more than a little shitty. but what the heck.
shan't brood over it. remember. there is no more sadness and angst.
only happiness like a hippie high on pot.
hahah. and I must lay my thanks to lip and adrian who dropped by for lunch.
the two buggers wanted to go sentosa (and didn't jio me!!)
so anyways, had a great time laughing my ass off the whole of lunch time and in the afternoon.
oh yes, after lunch, i decided to heck it and came out for a full two hours of mucking around, ya-kun and yes, laughing my ass off (heh. the two buggers didn't go sentosa in the end.. too cloudy - to my benefit *grin*)
lip had a rather tumultousness day as well - so that makes two of us.
poor bugger really has a spate of bad luck when it comes to vehicles man.
i shan't spoil it for you guys. go ask him about it and hear him bitch about it.
entertaining.
well, it certainly entertained adrian and me.
so ya. the whole afternoon after lunch (i did come back to office to show face before wind-walked - warcraft 3 term - away again) to about 4 was spent outside.
the whole afternoon was just rubbish and nonsensical.
totally hilarious. laughed till i teared (although I must say the session back in NPD before the Macritchie hunt is still like number 1). man, am I deprived or what.
so ya. spirits was lifted tremendously.
so ya, thanks dude for coming down. you guys have no idea how timely it was.

Paused Silence

2005-12-20T18:53:00.000+08:00

ok. back from South Africa and I must say I was glad I signed up for the trip.
lots of epiphanies and revelations and most importantly lots of fun (although I would STILL prefer it to be OBS New Zealand, but well....)
anyways. i won't be blogging about the trip cos it would take too long and I do prefer to just yak it out when I meet up with you guys. complete with pictures of course.
all i can say is, i am now back at work and feeling damn restless.
in south africa - it was as though time stood still. no worries, no angst, no feeling of the passage of time rushing by like a shadow in the corner of your eye that you can never catch a glimsp of, it was truly ... tranquil.
now back in Singapore. reality is slapping me around trying to wake me up to this nightmarish place called work (incidentally, the mefloquine pills I am suppose to take as a guard against malaria - it is linked to nightmares and neuro issues... go figure...zzz).
yah. so for the past 2 days at work i have been refusing to do any real work.
and there would be no Sadness Part II from here on.
hah!
juggling and learn to play the drums anyone? want to join me?
windsurfing too? let me know ya.
oh. but there's still that bloody nagging feeling of... not quite sure how to describe it. but it's kinda like a xiang4 zuo2 zuan3 xiang4 you4 zuan3 scenario but not quite cos I am kinda feeling I am in a state of limbo as well. mix it with some feeling of waiting for an event to occur and a slight frustration that things aren't moving the way you think it should...
ok ok. before you buggers out there (esp you lip, jus and dunno who else) start. it has nothing to do with the affairs of the heart - no gal, and definitely not a guy (this is directed at lip).
it's cos I am at yet another crossroad in my life. i have definitely missed out good opportunities and chances cos of the way things have been occuring (hence the xiang4 zuo2 zuan3 xiang4 you4 zuan3 thingy) etc. aiyah. dunno how to put it succintly in words without sounding goose-bumpy and ridiculous. so i leave it as that.
but one thing is for sure. the angst is gone.
the if the sky falls I will use it as a blanket me is back!
it will last for some time I think and hope. well. there is that upcoming trip to Nepal in April that can help rejuvenate me again...
catch ya guys!

T-4 days?

2005-11-16T22:33:00.000+08:00

FOUR MORE DAYS MAN.
and work has slowed down considerably as well.
today has been quite a relaxed day.
actually had time to go shopping for like an hour.
haha... else really no time to do me shopping.
still a few more items to get.
it feels good to buy buy buy
haha.. and without the guilt!!!
on a totally different topic, was mentioning to slut that i would be changing my hair colour before i leave.
Slut was saying he would go pink.
and he was really serious about it.
for me. i am actually thinking that i will have to dye my eyebrow as well.
else I will look some idiot man.
esp with me bushy eyebrows.
but do salons do eyebrows? anyone know?

Howling at the Moon

2005-11-12T23:59:00.000+08:00

What do I really want?

mental ravings rain down and flood
faster than my frantic bailing
this boat is sinking
and I wonder why do I bother bailing
since the rain never stops.
perhaps I should not ask why I am not bailing
fast enough
or wonder why I dun have that backet of hope
to help with bailing
they only help prevent the sinking or prolong my agony
no. these are not the questions I should be asking
it's like a prisoner on a deathroll wishing for the sun to set slower
the questions above only seem to distract me from the real question.
perhaps the question is really why is it raining.
or that why should I be in a boat that will sink.
the immediate problem sucks you in. and you forget yourself.
i was in a good place a few months back
and unconsciously, as I mindlessly sprint down this path, i believed
that I was doing right. as i become more and more efficient at doing, solving,
i become once again embroiled in the immediate surrounding.
i forgot about the distant mountains, the sea that glistens far away,
the wonderful background that drew me to the place in the first place.
the woods that formed part of this comfortable picture
became the only scene I see.
i am right back where i have started.

damn! i need that trip fast.

T-9 days

2005-11-11T23:43:00.000+08:00

oh man, now I really cant wait to get away.
i need to step out of this weird space that work has created and refresh my life.
i need to rethink my objectives at work re-shift my focus.
9 days to go! woohoo!
but damn cough hasn't gone away
dun want to cough my way to South Africa.
Cough syrup is helping somewhat.. but dunno leh.
just helps to alleviate the coughing.,.. as to curing it.. it's up to the body manz.
buck up!
by the way, imagine my shock when i saw the "poison" symbol on the bottle of the cough syrup.
bought it from guardian pharmacy somemore.
*shrug*

south africa... countdown T-16 days

2005-11-04T21:16:00.000+08:00

16 more days to go man.
havnt started buying anything!! pengz.
man, i need to go shopping soon
esp since i have that 50% discount at salomon
woohoo!!
anyways, looking forward to the trip
a good time to sit back and relax (ok maybe not sit back and relac but the intent is the same)
and think about myself
seriously been getting too caught up with work
so much so that I have focussed on work too much and forgot about what i wanted to do
so much so that I actually am thinking of work most of the time and trying to do more work!
disgusting right.
south africa will be my enlightenment trip.

bitch of a sister

2005-10-26T21:44:00.000+08:00

fucking hell. i am not even sure i can call her blood kin.
so today, i am to go off to japan for a business trip - staffing trip in civil service terms.
so came home. prepared everything and relaxing waiting for the time to come
then damn! forgot to bring the gift that will be presented to the foreign digintry home.
so how - have to go back and get lor.
big sis is still in office so no way she could get back home in time to help.
so i turn to second sis to help.
told her that i have to go back to office to get stuff (I know it's my fault that i forgot to bring the gift but wait till u read her reply man)
and guess what
that self centred woman just told me straight in the face that she would not be willing to help me by driving me down to office to get the stuff.
wtf! didn't even bother to ask if i urgently need to get to office - what time my flight is .. just flat out no.
bloody idiot.
and u know why? cos she says she has to go do her online trading at night and if she sends me to office, it will cost her money (ya.. like she will confirm earn money like that).
but of course the bloody issue is not about the getting to office.
to me - it's her plain refusal to help - i mean she didn't even bother to find out how urgently i need the help, whether i need to go straight to the office etc.
what a self centred fucker manz.
luckily it's a late flight.
and that's why i have time to type this out in plain disgust at her behaviour.
then again, strangely i am not that surprised.
she's been self centred since dunno when.

South Africa

2005-10-23T15:56:00.000+08:00

i seriously can't wait for the trip to come man.
although it also means i have to work harder before it comes.
work work.
i've almost worked my weekend away.
but strangely hor... I dun feel that bad really.
sadness.
it's as though I lub work.
ok. i better get back to what i was doing. work...

A Step in a direction.. ahh.. damn it.. dunno go where lah

2005-10-11T01:00:00.000+08:00

i realise i have this totally bad habit of throwing myself into a cess pit of troubles just to see how well i can survive and pull myself out of it.
sometimes i actually consciously pick up the trouble, torment myself a little with illogical thoughts, hypothesizing (if there's ever such a word) on ideal scenarios and how it is impossible for me to achieve that scenario...
other times, i just let myself sink into the warm gooey mucky feeling of self-delusion.
and nowadays, i am actually turning into a workaholic.. not that this has anything to do with the above comments. these are negative and incoherent streams of consciousness anyways.
i am just waiting for the bloody download to finish.
damn it. i can't wait for South Africa.
maybe i will get my thought straightened out by then and know exactly what I want to do with meself.
speaking of which. i should really go straightened out some of my unfinished business that i have been avoiding before i leave for SA.
like that lunch with Ms J... or rather Mrs something now... assuming she still wants to lunch.

feng shui... and zzzz

2005-10-03T22:50:00.000+08:00

mom and sistas invited this fengshui master to guide us on interior design
dun mind it that much but just that well.. dun believe but dun dispell the concept of fengshui.
so just let them go about their business while i dota'ed away.
zzz.
their suggestion for my room
shift the bed!
and then make sure there's no cupboard and shelves where i point my feet when sleeping
!
freak!
means i have to take out my shelves and that means i have drilled the bloody holes in the wall for nothing.
not to mention the whole of one sunday 2 months back putting the things where they were.

The Fury of a Thousand Suns

2005-09-29T22:45:00.000+08:00

it's been so long since I felt so much anger and fury.
tamade.
first female boss that can piss me off so much.
wtf manz.
if u want me to do it your way, just say it.
dun hint hint and say it's suggestions then claim that in the end it's still up to me.
u just want me to do it the way you want so that if anything goes wrong, i'll be the
one getting the flak and not you right!
no way fat ass!
not in a million years.
fuck fuck fuck fuck.
scarly someone from work sees this and reports me.
then i will be suspended like the poor kids. lolx

drip drip

2005-09-20T20:46:00.000+08:00

and it had to rain like the last 5 mins of my journey back home.
and it was super super rain.
lightning flashes almost every min and it's the damn close type
cos the thunder came almost immediately with a 1000db intensity.
each time the lightning flashed, i was temporarily blinded (yes.. i am not kidding)
almost to the extent that i believed my life would flash before my eyes
what turned out to be a normal 5min journey dragged to a 10min one.
was literally crawling back at the speed of an old granny on her tricycle.
visibility was so bad and the roads were flooded.
braking was like 3x normal distant.
oh ya. did i mention the rain drops felt like hailstones. zzzz...
even though i kinda fear for my safety, it was surprising fun.
getting soaked I mean.
i was so soaked i could feel my underwear squishing each time i moved my butt when adjusting posture.
i could feel the water dripping down the inside of my pants as they were so saturated.
it was so wet that i actually started to collect water in my leather shoes!
in case u are wondering how they could happen. the water came from the soaked socks.
hahah!
it's been so long since i had fun in the rain manz.
brings back wonderful adolescent memories of playing in the muddy field
kicking water around.
flooded pavements.
sliding down slopes.
*BIG GRIN*

and I lost my post!!

2005-09-17T17:54:00.000+08:00

damn it. typed out a long post and it's gone!!!
argh!!
nvm to cut things short, since i no mood to type out the whole fiasco again.
i nearly lost my boat when coming back to shore today after sailing.
left the boat 1-2 metres off shore to collect the boat cart.
then the wind blew it out!
the in between details are even more embarrassing but blame it on technology that it's gone.
in the end had to swim out like a desperate dog after a bone, and dragged the boat back with the help of a kayak.
*grimace*
next time i going to drag the boat up the shore, dun care if the sand leaves marks on the boat.
pride more impt!
lolx.

Muppets!!

2005-09-11T01:49:00.000+08:00

It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show

And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show!

6 Months

2005-09-08T22:13:00.000+08:00

It's about 6 months since I got my bike.
no one in the family seems to know yet.
so if all goes well.. 6 months from now I can tell them
*phew*
so meanwhile, not going to care man
butss.... sometimes riding out of the estate can be such a heart attack
one time my sis was driving in from the opposite direction
nearly instinctively swerved onto a small road that goes into a condo
but heng didn't. else sure accident.
another time my big sis HAD to want to leave home the same time as me.
so no choice. to avoid the unspeakable, i say i got stomache. and waited.
can't believe i actually did that..

Motorcyclists = Uncultured?

2005-08-31T22:40:00.000+08:00

KNN!
this morning went for a function at the Asian Civilisation Musuem.
around empress place. near art house etc.
cant find a bloody motorcycle parking lot anywhere near there.
lots of car park space.
yes.. even the ones where u can use coupon and park there for like a few hours.
nabei
discrimination right
so motorcyclists dun need to visit museum ah.
ass...
anyways, thankfully security guard allowed to park beside this shed where the other STAFF parked their motorcycles. not many. there were like 3 motorcycles there only.
and it's not even a proper motorcycle parking lot.
x_x

More stuff from Bleach

2005-08-30T21:58:00.000+08:00

Came across some translation of poems from the bleach manga.
some of them pretty good.
here's two of my fav:

If I don't wield the sword, I can't protect you.
and if I keep wielding the sword, I can't embrace you.

lol.. like some sey line from a chinese martial arts movie right

We should not shed tears
for that will serve as defeat of our bodies to our hearts.
It is then nothing more than proof
for it to be said that our hearts are things
beyond our ability to control

cheem.

ya manz. bleach is one cool manga/anime series.

Strange

2005-08-25T23:32:00.000+08:00

i run against the wind.
i stare at the perfect leaf waiting for it to fall.
why do things happen the way they are, mocking, teasing, angry, perfect?
is it the mind that plays tricks on us?
do we really do see the things the way we want it to be?
and when glaringly bad things happen - we feel betrayed, down?
why do we make up ideas and assumptions?
when are they right?
when are they wrong?
shit manz.
machiam like trying to do the whole thinking thing that Descartes did.
only he did liao. so i can't claim credit for some great idea or statement like "I think, therefore I exist"

Rain

2005-08-23T23:04:00.000+08:00

It just occured to me that each time I go down to pay for my bike instalments, it rains
or rather it pours.
3 times liao.
damn it man.
is this my punishment?

The Invisible Arm of Sandman

2005-08-19T15:25:00.000+08:00

manz.. in office now.. fell asleep at my desk again!!

heng boss wasnt not around.

woke up by the time he came back.

oh well... must stop the late night anime watching liao.

anyways, suddenly feel like going home tonight instead of going out for drinks

go home do what?

watch Full metal alchemist!!!

sad hor.

but really feel like doing that. haha.

who's up to go do something stupid on sat night? pls?

Cruising

2005-08-17T22:06:00.000+08:00

No lip. Not your type of cruising. thanks.
tuition kid pang seh me tonight cos he had to go remedial class.. :z
so last minute, cant get anyone free to eat dinner or watch show also.
sian!
so stayed back a little and worked a little.
till about 9.
no one left.
zzz.. other divisions also no one left i can go disturb
double zzz...
so what to do.
go home lor.
but decided to take a different route home today since i got time to go explore explore.
so started off from hill street and down to victoria street, payar lebar, eunos, into siglap hill etc until home.
due to perhaps some form of intervention, i had really smooth and good traffic all the way.
no stupid taxis cutting in,no obnoxious bmws and mercs.. even the traffic light was behaving acceptably. red when i actually feel like stopping and green when i hoped for it.
so basically, ya.. maintained a healthy speed of 60+km/h all the way.
the wind was calming and the route contemplative.
cruising in such a conducive envoirnment just got half of my mind wandering.
contemplated about everything.. it's seems as though time was slowed indefinitely while my mind sought out my inner thoughts (lolx.. sound so lawrence right.. pengz)
but yeah, in any case. it felt good manz.
if only the ride was like forever.
woot.
now just need a chio pillion.
haha.

Lines from Bleach

2005-08-16T21:29:00.000+08:00

The following lines/dialogues are so far my favs from Bleach, the anime.
the lines are in english, translated by Lunar anime. since I dun know jap, not sure how close
it is to the real thing. but i dare say they did a pretty darn good job cos they sound really good.
can imagine how much more powerful it is in jap.
anyways here they are:

Fight with Grand Fisher
Rukia: Ichigo!
flashback
Ukitake: and what of pride?
if you help him now, yes, you can probably save his life
But....
at the same time, it will kill his pride for all eternity
Listen to me.
Remember this well.
There are two kinds of fight.
We must always know the difference.
A fight to defend life and a fight to defend pride
end of flashback
Rukia: That's right. This is a fight for Ichigo to defend his pride... a fight I mustn't interfere with
Dont interfere...
Dont interfere...
Dont interfere...
Dont die... Ichigo!

Zangetsu's Soliloquy
Ichigo... I hate the rain
Rain falls in this world, too.
When your heart is in chaos, this sky becomes clouded
When you are sad, rain falls so terribly easily
Can you understand...
the horror of being pelted by the rain in this solitary world?
If only to stop the rain, I shall lend you any strength.
If you trust in me, I will let no rain fall in this world
Ichigo, trust me
You are not fighting alone

and my fav...

Urahara's advice
what a letdown, Kurosaki-san
A real letdown
Afterall, there's nothing but fear reflected in your sword
When you dodge, "I'm afraid of being cut"
When you attack, "I'm afraid of cutting someone"
Even when you try to protect someone, "I'm afraid of letting them die"
Yes, your sword only speaks to me of absurd fear
That's not it.
What's necessary in a fight isnt fear
nothing can be born from that
If you dodge, "I wont let them cut me"
If you protect someone, "I wont let them die"
If you attack, "I'll cut them"
Well, can't you see.... the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?

Cool sia...

B-day

2005-08-13T23:42:00.000+08:00

First b-day wish: From Susan via SMS. ta-jie's fingers still fastest man. lol
last b-day wish: from wei lee. good old buddy from jc.
most pengz b-day wish: from alvin. "Happy birthday bugger... when u getting married?" zzzz o_O!
longest b-day and surprising most sentimental one: Daniu's. hahaha.. ya.. fat cow really quite the brother... b-day wish via sms so long and so detailed. heh.
funniest/wittest act: adrian spraying and activating rear wiper in response to my high beam.. haha. ok.. not that funny now to read it. but it's was really quite funny at the spot itself
b-day was spent rather differently this year as well.
badminton!!! tat, lip and adrian.
at bukit merah safra.., nice place really.
fat indian lady was so smitten by adrian that she actually believed the lie he told her and allowed us to use the showers at the pool for free...
then spent the rest of the night at old airport road.. another nonsense night,.. muahahah..
spent most of it talking about shit!
and I thot that tradition/topic died when we left NPD.
so yea.. thanks all for the b-day wishes.

Ass Friend of 13 years

2005-08-11T22:39:00.000+08:00

Just met up with Jack-ass Friend of 13 years for dinner.
got a personally "burned" cd of corrine may from him as a birthday present. well partly cos i requested for it. lol.
13 years liao.
dunno how i lasted 13 years of his nonsense man.
hah!
today. worse. totally had a field day poking fun at the "depression" that plagued me last week
wah lanz.
but then again. it was really quite funny.
think only a few frens can make fun of me like that and make me laugh at the same time.
in fact, the only ones i can think of are the ones that have known me for over 10 years.
damn. that old already huh.
ya ya.. bloody young punks out that sniggering away right
yr time will come.
anyways, yups. felt so much better after the laugh man.
*smirks*
the rest of the evening was equally nonsense as usual.
which was good of course.
so to my "old" frens out there.
next drink's on me.

Bemused

2005-08-10T23:07:00.000+08:00

Have this idea of setting up a photo competition at my work place.
who sends me the funniest photo in an office setting wins a price.
good right.
civil service office. lolx.. can't imagine what can be so funny about that.
but that's where I am hoping to see some creative juices man.
thing is.. dunno who will respond if i send out e-mail.
heh.
already known for being crazy in office liao.
can't imagine how far down my reputation will go.
but lol... dun u think it's a fun thing to have?
see what my colleagues says tmrw!

Beng Cars

2005-08-08T23:39:00.000+08:00

on the way to aikido class.
saw a car that is officially more beng than adrian's FTO.
in fact, it was right behind me at the junction.
i thot adrian's FTO red light, red dice etc was bad enuf
this car was like an AE86 (for those who watched Initial D), but black in colour instead
light blue bright headlights
red underlight
dice as usual.. i mean which beng can do without it.
some chinese word i can't make out at the front
and blasting the beng/lian sammi song.. u know the one... annie sure know one. haha
so ya.
that was the most exciting thing that happened today.
how exciting... zzz

Of Buffalos and Thomson Gazelles

2005-08-07T23:26:00.000+08:00

Today, Mom wanted to go Carrefour.
Sisters not around. so leaves me.
so leaves me to drive.
so okay lor.
drive only mah
except.
so used to bike now.. ask me to drive. haiz.
can lor. but wont be damn zai lor.
got to carrefour without any trouble.
in fact, felt it was a little slow even though most of the time was driving at
or above the speed limit. mom was evidently not happy cos she kept asking me
to slow down.
wah lanz. cannot lah. slow means more danger to me. really. cos cars would want to
overtake me etc.. so means have to change gear more often cos of speed changes.
but in any case, what gets to me is i feel like a buffalo on the road man.
nothing compared to the agile and convenience of my bike.
everything also have to give more space. sian,
move off pick also slow. space wise take up so much space.
was so tempted to squeeze in between cars at the traffic lights to get to the front
but can't! zzzz...
so ya. no doubt more power. but buffalo. imagine if i drive the bigger ones.
i will feel like an elephant or a hippo. no thanks.
but i paid a price for my eagerness to get out and about.
dented the font bumper when i was leaving carrefour.
happened when i was reversing out. crap. bloody buffalo.
have to fork out a few hundreds bucks liao. wasted!!
got home and went for a 30min run therapy.
came back feeling happier.

My Resolve

2005-08-05T22:40:00.000+08:00

Time to get myself out of this shit hole of a depressive mood!
i will not be beaten by something i don't know.
so that's it. the gauntlet's been thrown.
after much deliberation and arguing with a self personification, at the cost of looking rather deranged and somewhat pathetic,
what the heck right
i should just stop looking like some useless old man wringing his hands in frustration and stop thinking of why i am feeling depressive
fuck manz
where's the confident me some half a year ago?
so first thing I did was to sign up for the OBS South Africa course.
no hestitation and no more deliberation
one month of fun, adventure in the safari, forest and beaches of south africa.
that said.
i will train and train for the OBS course
started with a run with a colleague today.
shall continue to do so. then it will be sailing on sundays, alternate with running (have to jio someone to go with me though), and of course alternate with washing and polishing me vespa gt.
woot!
FOCUS!!!
no more lounging and wasting time
since i can't figure out why i feel depressive doing nothing
i shall avoid that all together and do something.
dun care what. training will be the best substitute if i can't think of anything.
so there.
then a little voice tells me, "let's see how long u last".
x_x"
fuck right.

Daihatsu Charade

2005-08-04T22:40:00.000+08:00

was riding beind a daihatsu charade (smpelling?).
damn. it's been so long since i saw one.
can't remember was the last time i ever saw one.
in fact, not even sure i sat in one.
ya.
singaporeans change car so frequently
and some of the owners mod them until like dunno what
so it's a nice change when i see an old, damn out of date, dull looking
80's or 90's car.
best part.
he overtook at BMW 7 series
clear path for me too.

Ring Ring

2005-08-02T17:32:00.000+08:00

came back to office.
checked mail.
just got updated that there will be no OBS New Zealand course due to poor response.
super sian.
there's an alternative OBS South Africa one.
not as exciting but I guess it's worth considering
have till end of the week to think about it.
another thing on my mind.. thanks ah...
called up a fren. was feeling chatty. cos havn't seen him in a while.
short conversation though.. sigh.. oh well.. guess another time.
then my phone rang.
number was from the reception counter downstairs.
female voice.
dunno who. but it made me feel uneasy for some strange reason.
then she said it was her!
pengz.
mind blank.
dunno what to say.
especially after so long.
pengz.
was expecting to hear from her and I didn't want to either.
now she's downstairs? isn't she suppose to be overseas?
in anycase, she asked if I was free to meet up and catch up then and there.
of course not.busy leh (ok.. chatting on phone is different from going downstairs to kopi!)
so lucky for me, i can turn down the request.
fuck. after so long now she wants to catch up.
even if i were free i also won't know what to say or chat man
better dun meet. thats the best.
hope she doesn't call again.
had to write this out now cos i have to. else i will explode and not cos i want to "diao ren wei kou"
but in any case, another thing on my mind. shit.

Junkyard Wars

2005-07-30T22:03:00.000+08:00

I set out at 5pm to clean up my room. a total clean up.
from putting up my shelves, to wiping off dust and throwing away junk.
sounds like a handful. it is and I was resolved to do it by midnight.

i gave up by 8pm.

things just didn't go my way.
take the shelves.
the effort by Dad was, well though appreciated, was kinda a failure
the shelves had fallen off a few weeks back being that the screws couldn't hold it
in place.
i wondered why.
today i was enlightened.
the bloody alignments were wrong.
the level, the position of the drilled holes.
damn. at first I thought it were just lousy wall plugs
then it turned out that it was more than lousy wall plugs (but there were a factor too!!)
and because the holes were drilled the wrong ways. i couldn't put the shelves up.
so i thought, hey why not just putty up the holes so I can just drill new holes.
I couldn't find the wall putty. cos i have no idea where the man had put it.
peeved.

so on i go to the cleaning up of junk and packing things in nice boxes.
being an engineer, i formulated an equation
things i have never seen in a long time or used = junk
things i tend to use, or were going to used = things to keep
easy right
so junk = old bills, reminders, pamplets,
things to keep = toys, magazines, CDs, dvds, computer manuals...
or so i thot.
then i came across an old PC game disc
shit. should i throw it away? maybe not. may have some value. may want to play the game again.
ok keep it.
then we old school magz.. aww... i do take it out some time to read (like once in a year). but ok. let's keep it.
then we have the old pics of frens, taken way back. not stored in albums cos somehow it was just some stupid pic so it didn't really have a place anywhere
see where we are going.
then it was things like my 3 months take all u like greyhound tic when i was backpacking in US
tic from the niagara falls so on and so forth.
in the end. i caved in. i kept so many things i do not know what to do with them.
it's like one ikea box full of it.

by the time it was 8, i was beaten. i lost the war.
there are still so many things to be sorted out and maybe to be thrown. the junkyard won
to be sorted another day i hope. that is if no new junk comes in.
dun think i will ever get to the end point man.
just looked over to my cupboard. realised i kept the X-ray pic of my body.
couldn't bear to throw it cos it was like my X-ray shot that I had to bring to the UK to show that I am healthy. o_O
sentimental junk

Strange Emotions

2005-07-26T23:19:00.000+08:00

I havn't felt this strange since dunno when
(ok for those smart alecs dying to give humourous comments, shove it. heh)
Crap.
Feels like I am losing control of the situation again.
I have something running ahead of my brain and I can't keep up.
Dun even know why I feeling so perturbed? disturbed? troubled? annoyed?
sheesh. can't even put a close description to it.
or am I feeling perturbed/disturbed/annoyed that I actually gave a damn and felt a tinge of disappointment over it?
argh!! maybe it's disappointment afterall.
man...
maybe it's not. maybe it's just normal.
shit. maybe it's also cos I dun really meet with such situations that often
so when it happens, I dun exactly know the reasons for feeling so strange.
thankfully, the weather was good. the run was just the perfect remedy. stop myself mind-fucking myself
good hormones generated by the run flushed out the bad ones.
haha. so I am artificially happy at the moment.
anyways. my room is turning into a junkyard again.
no place to put my toys man.
and it's time to save money if I am serious about going NZ OBS.

Unspeakable Words

2005-07-18T23:03:00.000+08:00

Wanted to pen this down for some time. but never had a chance up to now.
a close fren was involved in an accident. thankfully he is fine.
when he called to tell me about it from the ambulance. i was stunned. truly. and didn't know what
to say. i hoped that what little words i said, or didn't say, helped to comfort him
in that period of distraught and helplessness he was in.
but ya. i felt helpless about his helplessness. haiz.
you never know how it feels till it happens to you right?
guess this has changed him much? how much i never know.
havn't got a time to talk to him deeply about it. maybe i shouldn't
*shrug*
but I was glad he called me to tell me about it.
may there be an eternal sunshine after the rain has stopped.

Of Mambo, L.I.T and NPD

2005-07-07T16:59:00.000+08:00

Finally, after a long long stay from Mambo
the usual Mambo NPD gang got together (though we were missing regulars like Lyson and Jon W.)
for a Wed night out at Zouk
and it was fantastic as expected, and better cos I didn't puke. lol
and because of our long hiatus, we were actually a bit sua gu. now you can't get into
phuture from zouk. it's the other way round! man. no wonder the Q at phuture was longer than the one at zouk.
hhaha.
and things actually got started after the 1 for 1!!!... it used to be during the one for one
but even at 11:30pm, there was still alot of space on the main dance floor.
didn't feel that high at first and so.. stupidly I went to get more Long Island Tea..., as if the previous
puking sessions weren't enough to warn me otherwise. but haha, was glad I did. cos the third and fourth
jugs of LIT really did help.. ahaha Esther and I were so shocked that all the guy did was pour the alcohol into
the jugs (I counted at least 10 shots each) and add I shot of lime/pineapple juice. !!!!
it was fucking strong. but shiokness.
got into my high soon after.
heh. think my limit is four jugs. anymore I will gone to La-La pukeland liao.
music wise... haiz.. no Song2, no Linkin park
but then again.. if they keeping playing the same songs... will be quite sian also.
but sian thing is that the good songs came on so late!!.. things really got moving at 2/3am.
by then too tired liao. age is really catching up man. can't keep going on and on like before

next mambo should be in dec when King Lyz returns.
oohh.. la.. la.. sasson.
till dec!

: edited: oops. i forgot to add that we nearly got into a fight! wahh... Esther is really one fierce ah lian.
wanted to chase after an ah-beng idiot to fight..!!! kudos to her.
that stupid idiot also something. got so many of us, still want to pick fight. worse. we say sorry liao
still not happy. haha.. but he sure lose one lah. got tat, me, justin etc.
i got my leg behind his also. he want to fight also. cos just need to push and trip him. =)

Poking My Eye

2005-07-01T17:53:00.000+08:00

Second time I am blogging from my work place.
hope they dun clamp down on me for doing so though
it's a Friday lol
but ya.. anyways... getting a little bored with work liaos
today nearly fell asleep at my desk.

but anyways, I have been bitching a little too much these few days
well... generally about the same things. some stupid colleagues.
some stupid issue.
although it's the same pple/matters, somehow there are always new things
to bitch about. hahaha.
but ya.
I better tone it down a little.
cos almost everyone is coming to me to bitch. not a good reputation to have man.
think i should just bitch to pple I can trust.
just in case.... u never know right...
heh.
but ya, since I am on this topic (somehow I have this feeling a little devil on my shoulder is goading me on to type this out). There are some colleague(s) which totally got it all wrong man.
Gosh. Can they snap out of their golden plastered top of the world dreams and just be normal?
sheesh...
what's the point of trying to get on top of everyone else and be like an asshole. not to mention the ego... yewwwwwww....
and the siaming of shit work. only want to do glam work.
lan jiao man. everyone also wants to do glam work... but pls do your fair share of shit work.
dun cos the shit work falls on you then you quickly want to pass it on, or gallantly offer it to "share" with the rest of us.
wassup with that...
okie. i better stop.

Inaudible Whisper

2005-06-29T14:25:00.000+08:00

been finding it increasingly difficult to express my thoughts on blogs now
mental block?
maybe not. been doing quite a lot of thinking to myself these few days.
well, at least I have not started talking to myself.
anyways, so why is talking to onself one step closer to insanity?
anyone care to explain?
both forms are conversations with oneself no?
do we not hear some semblance of an inner voice when thinking to ourselves?

but ya. thoughts.
it's fun when deliberating on complex notions and arguments
but when it starts to be random, and leaves one lost and uncomfortable.. nay... no good.
and that is what is happening to me.
like mental diarrhea... lots of output, no real substance. and a pain in the ass.
maybe it's cos I havn't had a real conversation with frens these few days. everyone seems rather caught up with the normal mundane stuff...
world events? the road less travelled? the roads we travelled?
then again, these are same old stuff.... boring....
or maybe it's my job. having to be objective, logical and balanced may just be draining me of my creative juices.
or maybe it's cos I havn't had much excitement these few days.
nor have I done something idiotic and senseless.
lolx
MAMBO MAMBO PEOPLE!!

Shiny... I like...

Woke up at 2!!!
shiok. Sundays are days for sleeping in.
anyways, met up with Queen Lip today.
he needed to wash his car and I needed to clean up my Vespa.
Perfect.
met at Tampiness to find that there are no multi-story carparks (well, none that we know of) with taps available.
so went down to the multi-storey carpark near Ah-Gong's place. zzz...

Queen Lip was so obsessed with foam.
had a whole pail of foam for the wash up.
the next two hours were spent washing, polishing and waxing like two underpaid third world workers.
set me thinking
gals (and exceptions like Queen Lip) spend an amazing amount of cash washing, polishing and waxing their
faces. Us guys, we spent the cash on our vehicles.
the gals need their face to show off to the world. us guys need our vehicles.
and I can see why. My GT is looking brand new, shiny as a newly minted coin and smooth as a baby's bottom.
feeling damn satisfied looking at it.

then we met up with Tat for dinner.
chatted and ate.
and woohoo... Mambo mambo.
can't wait for it.
Justin!!! quick set a date.

New Blog, New Start, New Life Style

2005-06-20T23:03:00.000+08:00

RIGHT! The reason why I changed blogs was cos...
well cos I am bloody lazy (and this shall contradict what I would be saying later).
Now I can blog easily, as and when I want.
woohoo.. like the scooter? heh.
Note that I have tried to use only VESPA GT200 colours here. Will be amending the colours
to get them to be as near to the GT colours as possible. so bear with me if you spotted discrepancies.

YES! about this new start, new life...
2 months of nightmare has passed. Worklife has reverted to as it were before... no more late
nights slogging away till 11+ in the evening, and rushing to airports to receive people,
no more doing work that others dun want to do...
now i can get back to my healthy lifestyle of running, reading, gaming, tennis, sailing, aikido,
& yes! maybe even some volunteer work.

Went for the Vespa convoy rides on Sat and Sun, in conjunction with the launch of the new Vespa LX Series.
boy, was that fun! the goody bag was well worth it, and we also got to take pics with the models too. o_O!
anyways, we basically took one round around Orchard Road, blowing our horns at every junction, getting
everyone's attention, turning heads as we cruise at 30km/h. Hahha... at first I found it rather well, too
attention grabbing, but when you riding around with 8 other Vespas.. why not?! *grin*

Yeah yeah. So that's it for my first blog on blogspot. Nothing really exciting.
But, after the shit I have gone through for the past few weeks, this somehow rocks.
Finally.
dang!@
