This blog looks half dead. Nothing interesting goes in here and it makes me bored of it sometimes.

And here I come with more boring materials.

Why? Why? I dunno. You figure it out.

Work is kinda boring these days. Getting less and less things to do. Gonna blame it on.....Chinaman-with-bad-taste-in-design-and-don't-wanna-try-new-product-designs. Dammit. Even the world financial crisis isn't this depressing.

But, that aside, I've not been doing much fun pasttimes like I used to back before I started working. Back then, I couldn't wait to be at home to play games or sit in front of the com to chat and do whatnots. Nowadays, I go into my room, look at my com, look at my bed, look at my com again, and straight jump on my bed and sleep. Glorious sleep.

But no more. I've forced myself to finally get back into the habit of playing games til 2-3am....and then oversleeping and being late for work. I really need to get my indoor hobbies back. I save more money doing those...well, for the exception of when I purchase games or something.

I also want to get back my hobby of assembling scale model cars. So many nice cars on my list of cars-to-get:-

1. Nissan GT-R (R35)
2.
Xanavi Nizmo GT-R (R34)
3.
Mercedes SLR McLaren
4.
Mobil 1 SC 2006
5.
Ferrari 360 Spyder
6.
Mercedes Benz CLK DTM 2000 Team Warsteiner
(click the car names to visit the Tamiya website for the photos)

I already have an Enzo Ferrari
at home waiting to be put together only, I'm waiting for Lionel to do it together. This might be an expensive hobby but it tests patience and attention to detail. Not to mention it's gonna drive me up the wall looking at the small parts and keeping it safe after it's completed. For this project, I would also need to get cements (the ones for plastic models, not houses), paints, an airbrush machine (unless someone cares to loan one to me) and to make my own spray booth. So, yea, it's gonna cost me another bomb.

Yes, it's a worthy project. I love cars and what better way to collect cars than to assemble it yourself part by part instead of just buying a factory made one and just go straight home and displaying it on your shelf or cabinet. At least it would let me focus on other things....and not to screw it up after putting in money and time.


Random topic. Kthxbai.
Somehow, I still feel something missing. Something's just not right.

I don't really feel love. I feel more obligated than love.

It's not that she isn't good to me. She's great. But something is just missing. I don't connect with her as well as I hoped I did. And the longer we're together, the more I notice the gap.

I need to search myself before this gets anywhere else. Judge it at a distance once again. I feel it's a little too late but better now than later.

I'm not one to ask for much. But if being together without the right feelings, it would hurt us both more than an ended meaningful relationship.

*sigh*

Escaping to Africa?? Hopefully....

Came across this in Johnny's blog...

Free tickets?? Cool. Hope I'm not too late in trying to enter this.

Well, in order to get the tickets, it seems I have to answer a particular question:

what ANIMAL would you love your boyfriend OR girlfriend to be, in BED.

Kinky. I love it.

Hmmmm......hmmmmm.....

A tiger. A nice, soft, slightly agressive female tiger.

Sounds funny? Well, I'm quite an agressive person myself. If it was OUT of bed, I would choose a sweet, soft animal. Which breathing normal guy wouldn't want a sweet, hot, gentle girlfriend...OUT of bed? But we're talking about being IN bed. The perspective changes. A girl who knows how to take over the "situation" and demands "things". Wait, am I straying too far? Bottomline is, things get more exciting when it's a little.......rough. Get what I mean?

A soft, sweet girl...friend.

You do the math: rough + rough + (a nice, soft bed) = _____________

See where I'm coming from?

Well, the person handing out these free tickets is our 1st Malaysian Dreamgirl, Cindy. And if she's so happen to be reading this blog, let it be known that I DID watch a whole season of Malaysian Dreamgirl. You can visit her blog at http://www.jadezheng.com/ to find out more. Is she hot? Yessiree.


Okay. This blog lacks of pics. But whuttehver.

It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4...

It's been a while since I've got to listen to nice romantic songs. It may not be much but I like the lyric.

Plain White T's - "1, 2, 3, 4"
1-2-1-2-3-4
Give me more loving than I’ve ever had
Make me feel better when I’m feeling sad
Tell me I’m special even when I know I’m not
Make it feel good when it hurts so bad
Barely get mad
I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
Chorus
There’s only ONE thing
TWO do
THREE words
FOUR you...
(I love you) I love you
There’s only ONE way TWO say
Those THREE words
And that’s what I’ll do...
(I love you) I love you
Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make it feel good when it hurts so bad
You’re the best that I’ve had
And I’m so glad I found you
I love being around you
You make it easy
It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
Chorus
You make it easy
It's as easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4
Chorus
1-2-3-4
I love you
(I love you) I love you

And this song goes out to someone special.

Fall For Anything

*Warning: Content contains explicit contents. Viewers below 18 is advised not to read.

Tried my best to warn.

While everyone is busy listening to The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script, I find their other song Fall For Anything better and more meaningful.

"Fall For Anything"
Girl that brings you down, down, down [x4]
Don't give yourself away
Don't live your life that way
Of course he's gonna say, anything you want
Then leave quicker than he came
Now you've got yourself to blame
Don't put yourself back in the fire again
It's the same damn things you're so quick to believe
You do it over and over again
And it's the same mistakes that I'm watching you weave
You do it over and over again
So before they bring you down
Chorus
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
Girl that brings you down, down, down [x4]
Please don't be so naive, don't wait till your heart bleeds
Love wasn't built for speed, listen to me girl
He keeps f**kin' with your head, tryna get you into bed
And in the morning you'll just hate yourself
It's the same damn things you're so quick to believe
You do it over and over again
And it's the same mistakes that I'm watching you make
You do it over and over again and over again
So before they bring you down
Chorus
Girl that brings you down, down, down [x4]
And you give until there's nothing to give
Until there's nothing to give until there's nothing to give...
Before they break you down
Chorus
Before they bring you down
Cos girl they'll bring you down, down, down

The Pohh-lice....

I know I haven't been updating my blog and, no, that's not a reason to ask me to do a tag. Haven't really been in a blogging mood of late but now there's something worthy to blog about.

Police cars.

These are the cars we fear to bump into the most when we're cruising at 120km/h.....within city limits. Some people panic when the police behind flashes them to the side...but only to ask about minor things. Some choose to set highway chases but so far, no one's got the guts just yet.

The thing is, police car designs are actually very nice (even for the Royal Malaysian Police) and people tend to look out for them. There's only one thing I like to complain about....performance.

I mean, come on. Think about it for a second. The only people who can afford to speed VERY FAST are people with expensive performance cars such as Mercs, BMWs, tuned cars, etc. Are our Malaysian police gonna chase them down with their 2.0 V6 Perdana or their even-more-pathetic 1.6 Waja with "Cam-Tak-Pro"? Either the chasers are wasting their time and petrol chasing the offenders or the chasee wasting their time toying around with the police.

Someone driving a Lambo or a Ferrari can easily disappear from plain sight within 10-15 seconds. So, how do they expect people to be afraid of being caught from a chase when more and more people are figuring out that speed can definitely beat our Malaysian police cars.

Here are some police cars used or are yet to be used by police around the world:-

The Italians have their Gallardo prowling at 309km/h along the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway. The world's fastest police car actively in use...currently.

Next we have the reported to be released Brabus Rocket V12 CLS for the German police. This monster prowls its victims on the Autobahn at speeds up to 362km/h with its 720bhp engine.

In London, they also have the Murcielago LP640 prowling their streets for speeding offenders.

In Germany, they also have their Porsche 911 Carrera S in their collection.

Even the Japanese have AT LEAST a Nissan Skyline GT-R34 as a speed-chaser.

Not to mention that the US uses Corvettes, Mustangs and Hummers as their police cars. Oh yes. It's not just in NFS Carbon.

Running from these cars are practically pointless. Therefore, compared to all the other police cars in the world, we look like a bunch of cheapskates in a country of existing rich people with adrenaline rushes.

I understand all the whole pride about having our national cars as the police cars but, please, have a plan B or produce higher capacity vehicles. People WILL buy fast cars and speed like crazy even if Proton doesn't produce such cars. Where there's money, there's a way. Even the Brits use Italian Lamborghinis.

Can it get any more extreme?


On another police car news.....

London, England — "Getaway drivers and outside lane lovers beware!" reads the press release, "The Met Police has teamed up with Brit supercar manufacturer, Caparo, to conceive a brand new Rapid Response Vehicle (RRV) for the future."

The Caparo T1 RRV would have to be the quickest police car the world has ever seen. If you see this Formula 1 inspired carbon car in your rear view mirror don't bother trying to outrun it because not even a highly modified
twin supercharged Ferrari F430 could outpace this thing - it's really quite mad.

It'll scramble from zero to 100km/h in less than 3.0 seconds flat, and will hammer from zero to 160km/h (0-100mph) in 5.0 seconds, which is fast enough to remind you what you had for breakfast.

The Caparo T1 RRV police pursuit car is powered by a 429kW (575hp) 3.5-litre V8 engine that revs to engine speeds that make the new BMW M3 look tired and breathless.

"Capable of accelerating from a Police lay-by to 100mph in just 5 seconds and onto a top speed of 200mph, the Caparo T1 RRV would be deployed to hunt down car criminals within the M25," reads the press release. The M25 is the large stretch of highway that circles London city, home to more than a few speeders.

"Like everything else in the Met Police's armoury, this bespoke RRV is intended as a deterrent. Just check your mirrors next time you fancy breaking the speed limit!"

5....days.......

Highlights of the 5 glorious days of holiday.

WEDNESDAY
First day of Hari Raya holidays spent going out with SY for shopping, movies, etc. Feels just like any other weekends. Watched the movie Pathology which was Pathetic. Sure I love the gross parts but it's just another movie with all sorts of wild sex and killing wth. Practically pointless. And it's not even done in much details plus all the cuts made by our super conventional, close-minded and old-fashioned board of censors made the movie even worse. Not recommended to watch, even for medical students. Don't waste your time.



THURSDAY
Practically almost the same with Wednesday except for the movie part. Spent most of the night back at my house rather than at malls. Watched movie on my laptop instead.

FRIDAY
Went out for chicken rice and then went back to my place with SY. Spent most of the day there and only went out in the evening. Followed her for a little shopping again and then we watched Eagle Eye in Pyramid. The movie was cool. Wayyyy much better than Pathetic-ology. Wouldn't want to spoil the show for those who have not watched it. Go check it out. It's really good. Highly recommended. Now it makes me wonder if OUR government can spy on us through our mobile phones or internet connection.
Fat chance.

SATURDAY

Was considered quite a big day today. Whole family went over to Cheras to a studio to get my graduation photos taken. Had one taken of just myself and a big one with my family. But I feel the rates were, honestly, like shit. The package given wasn't much but the price was a bomb. Shit, lady, I ain't asking you to use a gold photo paper to wash my photos and include a titanium frame for it. Why the hell is it so freaking expensive?

If it wasn't for the fact that they supply the robes and coloured 'hoodie' for The One, I would've gladly gone to another photo studio.

Gone to One Utama with SY to walk around and have dinner.

SUNDAY

Finally, the day The One students have been waiting for to put on our best shirts, blazers, pants and dress, and the day our parents have been waiting to finally stop funding our art equipments and tuition fees - our convocation. The Grand Ballroom in Sheraton Subang looks quite good. After collecting our robes and mortarboards, everyone started having their pictures taken with friends and family.

Started joking around with Phoebe and Suraya while we were lining up to go into the ballroom. All the while walking up the stage to receive my scroll, the only thing that crossed everyone's mind is not to trip on the stairs and fall. What a scene that would be. Congrats to Chrystal 'Kissital' Giam Yee Feng for making it into TOA's Dean's List of Honours. You really were great. So great that some of the tutors in the Graphic Design Department made her a banner which reads "Ur the GODDEST of Ad!" Such an honour.

During the group photo session (which is in front of everyone in the ballroom wth), we had a shot which we could gladly fling our mortarboards up. Such a fun moment.

Food that night didn't really suck but it was quite inadequate. Plus, we get awkward trying not to show our ugly side while eating in front of someone else's parents whom we don't know. Should've thought of arranging the seatings. James' band played some rock music while we were dining. One song called for all the graduates to go up in front of the stage. Stage-shy Batch 58 didn't go up. The ones that did go up were all Batch 55 people. Was really great. We all went up the stage and rocked together with the band. We made another history by being the first batch to rock the ballroom during a formal graduation dinner (the other history was made when we decided to do some creative works instead of just showing our portfolios during our Graduation Exhibition).

After dinner, we proceeded with more photography sessions and then supper over at Old Town Kopitiam in Sunway. We had our usual Shidio gathering, filled with laughter and joy. Were supposed to go Coco Banana but we changed our minds because most of us were craving for food rather than drinks. And some still have to work on today (sigh). After supper, sent JT and Shawn back to Sheraton where some of the Shidios will be spending the night (I would too if I didn't have to work today). That was the end of a fun day to mark a joyful ceremony.

Pictures from the convocation will uploaded later but most of them will go into my Facebook profile. Have to get it from various amount of people (SY, James, Eve, Ken, May, TOA, etc)
