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)

More Randoms?? More Randoms....

Yup, it's all gonna be a whole bunch of randoms again. Lazy to type one event by one event.

1. Hari Raya holidays approaching. Taking it easy in the office.
2. Had TGI Fridays yesterday for lunch with my boss and colleagues using the penalty money from our China agent (long story)
3. Attended the 'No Compromise' seminar on Saturday, with speaker Mike Constantine preaching. Was kinda fun. Not boring at all.
4. Took leave for Friday with NO intentions of going anywhere for the holidays.
5. Convocation this Sunday!!!!
6. Bought new blazer just for the convo.
7. Since pay day til now (which is not even the next month yet), I spent a total of more than RM800 in shopping alone. New shirts, new leather shoes, new tees...wonder when am I going to sweep that Nike leather shoe.
8. Someone coming to stay over on Saturday night. Hehehe....
9. Want a new watch, a new computer, new phone, new Ray-Ban, new rims and tyres for my car......
10. Wanna go home now.
11. Found out that one of my colleague shares the same birthdate as me. So in total, I know 3 people who shares the same birthdate as me.
12. First time in AGES since i would stall a manual car. Don't like Myvi's manual fuel intake system. The owner of the car agreed.
13. Experienced culinery students' handywork in Tim's kitchen.
14. Had Wendy's for lunch today. I had to compensate a half pound burger with fries, nuggets and a drink to fill me to the enough point.
15. I feel like drawing. But I feel like drawing while I'm in the office, which is a little inappropriate.

Okay. That's all for now. Cheerios. (rhymes with Oreos)

Phones phones phones....Gah.

For so many years that I've used mobile phones, I've officially tried most of the major brands available in the market; Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, Motorola.

But after considering everything from design, function and practicality, I would almost certainly stick with Sony Ericsson (SE). I find that it's more user-friendly of the 4 brands I've tried. I don't find myself going "Where the heck can I find this function?" or even "What the heck does this category stand for?" I don't get confused using an SE phone. Besides that, I find their phones durable, practical and very innovative in terms of functions. Style-wise, it may not be able to compare up to the likes of LG. LG phones are sexy but, in terms of function, it doesn't measure up.

Right now, I need a new target phone to aim for. Firstly, I need the cash though. But I've narrowed it down to three models from SE.

First is the SE C902 which is already available in stores. It's beautiful with good functions; a 5MP camera, face detection function by the Cybershot and 3G.

Next is the SE C905. I find the functions in this one is slightly better than the C902. What attracted me to it was it's 8.1MP camera with Cybershot technology. This phone also has aGPS system and supports Wi-Fi services. It has all the functions in the C902 plus Wayfinder Navigator which acts almost similar to a GPS system.

And last but not least, there's the new Xperia X1 phone. This one is a touch screen phone which serves LIKE a PDA. It's not exactly a PDA. But this phone only has a 3.2MP camera. The attractive level of this phone covers what it lacks though. Would be happy to acquire this phone pending I see the actual product at the retailers.

Overall, I'm gonna take my time to decide on this issue. It's not an easy 100 200 bucks thing that I can just simply replace.

Tagged-o

Lazy to do tags. But since I'm tagged, I guess I'll just finish it all in one go wth. And I'll be doing tags by two person with just one version (don't expect me to write 30 weird things about me. I'm NOT that weird yet) =)

1. Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.
2. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.
3. At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
4. No tags back!!

1. I'm darn crazy about cars. Can't help it. I go crazy when I'm browsing cars or when I stumble upon exotic cars.

2 . I thought of building my own supercar one day one part at a time together with Lionel.

3 . I like it when my gf bites my fingers??

4 . I'm crazy about horror movies although I do get jumpy watching it. Paying to scare myself silly wth.

5 . The prime colours I like are black & white. But I'm neither black nor white. *shrugs*

6 . I have 2 pillows, a bolster, a blanket and a porin on my bed but I only sleep with one pillow and the blanket. The rest are just accessories.

7 . I'm suddenly enthusiastic about mathematics and calculations again while at work, calculating glass bottle capacities and technical tolerences.

8 . My mind is even sharper when I'm sick. *shrugs*

9 . I need pumping music when I'm doing work and soft music when I'm driving.

10 . I like emo music. NOT because I'm an emo person (unless with reasons) but I think they're much more meaningful compared to banging metal rock nonsense.

11 . I err......*how can I put it in a not-so-gayish feel* appreciate romantic movies wth. Well, that's a weird thing, right? Don't ask me why.

12 . I let my tears flow when I have to. Bottling hurt inside isn't healthy and I'll just let my emotions free. Privately, though.

13 . If I'm speeding, I'd rather do 180-190km/h if I can rather than just 140-160km/h because, if anything were to happen (and I pray oh God it WON'T) I might as well die straight rather than end up in the hospital with broken parts and suffer the pain and agony.

14 . I don't lose my sense of humour even when I'm having a bad mood. (Thanks to Estela. lol)

15 . I can have chicken or duck rice for all 6 days in a week continuously. (lets leave one day for other types of food)


That's my weird side. I'm tagging whoever who wishes to do this tag. But I would like to pick some though:

- Jimbo
- Johnston
- Chui Mei

Nissan GT-R35

This car is Japanese. It's brilliant. It's massive. It's agile. It's powerful. It's.....did I mention Japanese already?

Right. It's so agile, it beat a Ferrari and the SLR on the Top Gear's Power Lap. European supercars may have all the speed on the straight, but at corners, it loses everything. And that is precisely where the GT-R plans to nail it's victims. This is mostly all the same with tuner cars as compared to the European exotics.

Jeremy Clarkson did mention that this car wasn't fitted with adaptive headlights simply because the headlights' motion sensors just couldn't keep up with the agility that this car is fully capable of.

The design is brilliant. Channeling all the air from every part of the front towards the rear spoiler to create enough natural downforce to the rear of the car (the front is heavy enough with the V6 engine)

To make things sweeter for the casual but occasionally adrenaline-pumped drivers, this car can switch between auto and manual for driving convenience.

Check the clip out.

I so hate politics

Everytime I read political news in our already-depressing country, I get even more depressed than Lionel thinking about finishing his course.

Hey,I don't have to LOVE this country or the government to be worried. I'm bloody living in this country. So, indirectly, it will affect me in the future.

All the hates, racist remarks, riots, arguements....it all makes this country even more and more unstable. I mean, screw all this bloody racist things. Why can't everyone just live with each other?

Sure, I know about all the frustrations and inequality the other races feel when a lot of chances for better education positions, loans or scholarships are frequently given to the Bumiputeras first. I've had my fair share of experience and so do my family. A chinese with better result cannot receive a scholarship compared to a Bumi with lower academic result.

So, why can't we have equality. Everyone worked just as hard to gain something. Shit, if you're a Bumi and you don't wanna work hard just because you think you have your privileges, what makes you think the other races won't get pissed off?

A press statement quoted a politician as saying that the Chinese dominated the economics and now look to dominate the political scene and that a warning was given for the Chinese to NOT push the Malays to the wall or they will fight back for their own survival.

Screw you. If they can push you to the wall with only half the privileges you receive, that shows they worked twice harder than you freaking people did. They didn't get to that point for free and just by sitting back. The minority races all had to work extra hard to gain the wealth and power that we hold in the economic scene. Why should we even submit to the Bumis just because it's "supposed to be" your "privilege" to control this country's economics. If you wanna control, bloody work for it your bloody self and don't expect special treatment. The other races will not back down for people who do not work but choose to claim what is NOT rightfully theirs, especially the Chinese. This they have to understand.

They better not even mention that the Malays were the original in this country. You didn't bloody spring out of these grounds. Every race helped form the Malaysia we know now. All races fought for the independence of this country. It's not like the other races sat back and just let things pass and wait for the country to be independant.

If the political scene in this country causes the nation to fall, I will gladly pack my bags and move down south to our neighbours. Heck, I'd rather be kiasu there than to risk my future and that of my future family and offsprings in this country.

I love being in this country but the political scene made it a living hell.

Fall For You

Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

Chorus
But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh

Chorus

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Chorus

Chorus


Note: This song is not directed to anyone. I just like the song.

GRID

Like I was saying before, I had been wanting to get a new game and play it. I finally did. (thank God,right? Right.)

Finally got Race Driver GRID. Developed by Codemasters, I was quite eager to start playing since I read the review and had previews of what the game looked like. (so eager that I delayed picking SY up for dinner)

GRID is a hybrid between arcade and simulator of mainly tarmac racing that consists of 43 cars. I must say I was VERY impressed by the level of detailing; in terms of graphics and driving physics. So impressed that I frustrate myself getting the hang of the cars.

Here are my judgement on the game based on MY own experience and opinion.

Graphics
This is the highlight of the game. The graphics for GRID is nothing less than impressive. The level of detailing to the surroundings, the cars and even the cockpit. Yes, the cockpit. I loved this view (although it's super hard to see the road with all the dust and debris) because it's so realistic and it puts you in the driver's perspective of racing. Sure it may be hard to see the road, what more when you're travelling about 270km/h but, hey, the experience is thrilling. I've been craving for games such as NFS to make a comeback with the cockpit camera view like they did in Hot Pursuit 2 and now, GRID has fulfilled it. And it's not just some lame-looking-steering-wheel-with-hands-and-lame-looking-dashboard view. This is the full cockpit of an actual racer car. Even the action of the driver switching gears or the lights blinking to signal for gear ratios are shown, not to mention the way the hands turn the steering depending on how much you turn the car. What more can anyone ask? It even shows you the detailed indicator and the roll cage nicely strapped and hinged down inside the cockpit. GRID has combined some of the top tuner, muscle and exotic cars there are around the world.

On the outside, the details given to the cars and the damages were impeccable. Even the door swings open if the impact hits it. Not to mention tyres going crooked and suspension debris flying around. Spectators were more realistic than in Prostreet but, we don't care about them, do we? The surroundings were nicely duplicated to be as real as possible and sceneries are breathtaking.

Gameplay
First and foremost, the cars' handling. Maybe I suck at it, but the cars were like super hard to get the hang of. But the physics were realistically duplicated. You either get a car that would constantly oversteer or understeer. And there's not a thing you can do or tweak about it. The controls allow you to skew the deadzone and saturation for your steering, accelerator and brakes though. So, just play around with those. Cars tend to skid uncontrolably the moment it hits a different tarmac, the grass area and the sand pits. But cars do not need to slow down to snail speeds to take corners unlike in Prostreet. Drifting in GRID is a heck of a challenge as the car tends to wipe out constantly. Maybe balancing the throttle, brakes and steering requires the ACTUAL steering and pedals. GRID even got rid of street-racing-type car supplements such as NOS or personal car modifications. Indicators right next to your speedometer will even indicate damages your car is suffering from. If your car is about 80% damaged, the race is over for you.

Races are separated into 3 groups; American Muscles, Euro Racing and Japan Racing styles. Almost every form of track racing is found in GRID, even the notorious Demolition Derby under American style. Each track-type requires the region's car type for racing. No mix and matching cars and their birth continents.

The great thing about GRID is, if you're playing Driver Offer modes, whereby you use cars which are provided to you, the most important thing is to complete the race. It is not necessary for you to win in order to receive the Appearance Fee and Playback Bonus. But completing bonus clauses will earn you extra cash. It really simulates the actual world of racing where there is money the moment you finish a course. The rest of the racing modes, they offer price money if you finish within the top 3. Japan drift tournaments are knockout-style; in which you compete and defeat one opponent after another to proceed to become Drift King. All races won will add to your reputation further down the road.


Overall
I can say that I recommend all driving enthusiast to try this game out, but to be warned that there might be some frustrations while trying to get the hang of the cars' handling. It brought back substance and reality to what racing is all about and it all comes down to how you position yourself strategically and mentally while racing and not just a whole case of "who's got more NOS and press that button faster" gizmo. This is racing at its raw, pure and wildest nature.

I would give this game an 8/10. Dropping points at tweaking the way the car handles and the drifting mechanism. The rest is pure bliss.

Procras procras (why am I always repeating stuffs??)

Yea, the title says everything.

So, kthxbai for stopping by.






Just kidding.

Been procrastinating a lot of things. Why? Why? Why?

I'll answer you tomorrow.



Nah. Just felt like I always DON'T WANT TO find the time to do things. Things such as buying my game, looking at new arrival for car models, play my guitar, load my new game, download songs, play my PSP, disturb my dog, clean my room, watch DVD or downloaded movies, etc.

I mean, come on. Some of these things are fun things to do. Things some people couldn't wait to do when they're allowed to. But to me, I don't know why but I just don't see the urgency in doing these things. So most of the time I'll just do it "along the way". When I so happen" to come across it.

Maybe I'm just bored. Or maybe there's something that's just occupying my time and interest. Idunnodontaskme.


I WANNA GET THE LAMBO MURCIELAGO AS WELL!!!

Okay, that was random. But I really crave for it. Wonder if it comes in gun grey. Hmmmm....

When events turn into an essay

Updates on the events of the weekend and the past few day.

Saturday
Went to Summit in the morning for my "breakfast" and wanted to get a game which I was wanted to get a for a long time. But instead, me and my itchy feet decided to walk into a car model shop. Can't control myself cuz I haven't bought any cars for the past month or so. Ended up getting a 1:18 scale model of a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (pics to be shown another day). I could even tell the uncle that my gf is going to grumble when she finds out later in the afternoon. How right I am. Accompanied SY to TARC's convocation ceremony for an ex-seafieldian's convocation. Then rushed all the way back to sunway for a movie. Watched Death Race. Was cool.

Saw this at Sunway Hotel when picking up Christine for the convo.

Sunday
After church in the morning, went home, packed and left for a nights trip in PD with Tim, Kevin, my sis, Kiat Yee, Jim, Samantha, Johnston, Johnny, Melissa and Jimmy Tiang, Winnie, Sarah, Kai Mun and his gf Cynthia (I wonder if I spelt that correctly).Sat in Tim's car. I totally take back the thing I said when I went to PD with my college mates. "When people look at us and the car we drove, they would think we were rich kids." I take it back. Back then, we only drove a Honda City, a Honda Stream and a lowly Iswara Aeroback. But this time, the convoy was a new Honda CRV, a Honda Accord, a Hyundai Elantra and a Toyota Celica. One of the most expensive convoy. Stayed at The Ocean View Resort in apartment owned by Jim's dad. Arrived in the evening so we went straight down to the beach for fun and BBQ. Think most of the guys who BBQed lost some leg hair. After BBQ, we went back to the apartment to clean up and have some indoor fun. Played Pictionary. Everyone went nuts over it. Played til the wee hours of the morning. Tim bought some fresh coconuts and we had some trouble slowly opening them and draining the juices.

Monday
Everyone was SUPPOSED to be up at 7am. But instead, everyone got up and ready around 10plus am. Left PD and we decided to drive all the way back to PJ for brunch. All along the way, there were so many toilet breaks because of all the coconut water everyone had in the morning. Had chicken rice at Paramount because Kevin said the char siew was delicious. I admit it's soft and delicious, but it was SUPER FATTY. OMG. Could've just had a heart attack right there eating that. Then we grouped over at Samantha's place. Those crazy fellas wanted another round of Pictionary because it seems Kevin and Johnston can't stop gloating about being champions the night before. But, unofficially, Samantha and Sarah were the winners the night before and also for the second round. Got home and it was raining super hard. Rested a while, cleaned up and went out with SY.

Tuesday
Boring day at work as usual. But got to sneak out to do some printing work and SY tagged along. Accompanied her for a brief shopping outing. Went over to Glass Solution for training in the evening and had a super headache. Literally headache, not because of the training. On the way back to take SY out for dinner, I realised I caught a little fever. So nice of SY and her mum to provide me with some paracetamol (or panadol) and water to ease the headache. Hahaha...It was to my understanding that SY kept the water just right, not cold and not hot, while waiting for me to come.

Wednesday
Went to see a doctor because I got up with quite a bad sore throat. The doc gave me an MC for the day. SY came over to my house to "study" for her college exam. That girl slept half the day away in my room. Should make her study downstairs next time. And a first encounter for her with my parents for lunch and dinner. Now she knows where I got my sense of humour from.

That's all for the past few days.

Thanks to those who SMSed to ask how I was doing and told me to take care. Thank God for the one day rest. I needed that. Thanks to the people who organized the PD trip. I needed the holiday. Thanks to SY for taking care of me. Love you baby.

Okay, those are soooooo lame. But thanks for everything.

Photos will be shown another day. Be patient.

Remember remember...Pt 2

I just mentioned about turn of events in my life in my previous post.

The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.

And I think sometimes I need to learn my lesson. And the lesson is, never EVER have a girl as an enemy or as an argue partner. You may never know how both of you may just end up.

And to me, it took a very big twist.

The first was a girl who I seem to like to argue with and tease in high school. Ever since Form 2, we were constantly at each other's neck. We irritated each other so much that sometimes we both had to enroute our paths if we happen to bump into each other. But then, we had a truce by the end of our high school years and continued being friends. But things didn't stop there. A few years went by and we even ended up being in a relationship with each other. That ended last year though.

And now, almost the same incident arose. Only, I wasn't such an enemy to this girl back in high school. We, or more appropriately, her, liked teasing ME about random stuffs. But then we also became closer friends after high school and then, a relationship with each other as well.

The first incident was a more extreme turn of event compared to the second.

So boys and girls, never go along teasing girls around you or making enemies. You may never know what fate can do to your little "friendship".

It's an exception to me though. Huahahahaha....

Remember remember...the 5th of December...

Every once in a while, it's just good to sit back and relax in an empty, quiet room. Where everything halts during that moment and your mind can wander where ever it wants to go.

And every now and then, I'll just reflect on my life. The things I've done, friends who've been in and out of my life. A little depressing? Maybe. But I should look back and see what I've done.

Laugh at the fun times I had, the jokes made, time spent with friends from the past, hearts made and hearts broken, the great times and the depressing time. The immature times which seem all funny now and times when I got into troubles for things I did. Memories.

And it made me laugh at how some turn of events happened.

I remembered that, during high school, I wasn't close to someone. He was more of just an acquaintance rather than a friend and I remember how we used to boast to each other about things we can do and whatnot. We weren't much close to each other and I think we don't even like bumping into each other.

But ever since we left high school, we got reacquainted. We started hanging out and that's when the surprising turn of events started taking place. We got closer and we started hanging out and chatting even more. Shared problems and just simply goofing around for fun. We listened to each other and encouraged one another.

Soon enough, we became the best of friends. At least to me though. We'd share stupid antics and talk about almost everything and anything. When there was someone I needed to talk to, he was there listening. And it made me wonder, why couldn't we get along sooner rather than later. Well, there's no better time than now.

He's my pal and he's my bro.

And, ps: Bro, you'd better graduate and get back here A.S.A.P. or I'm starting my Enzo model without you. Muahahahahahahahaha.........

I NEED A VACATION!!!! I WANT A VACATION!!!!

I wanna go for a vacation. Picked out 2 good locations to do so.

• Redang Island
• Perhentian Island

Redang Island

Perhentian Island

Now I'm trying to decide which destination to go.

Both have beautiful beaches and this time of the year is the best time to actually visit there. The usual vacation season at the end and the beginning of the year is the monsoon season. That's why throughout the years, I didn't have the chance to visit there.

Both islands are remote and therefore, there's nothing else you can do except relax and enjoy the beach and water activities. Pretty much what I need.

So, baby, which island?? Waiting for your decision.

Anybody can give me a suggestions on which island is better? Preferably with experience with visiting both or either islands.



But first up, PD this weekend. Wheeee~~

Ponder ponder

Here's a situation to ponder about.

Have any of you ever had that situation where, you already know something someone is about to do and you reveal it to them. You already have a very good hunch and all signs already lead to a decision or action that person has probably already made but, that person still goes on denying that fact and continues to contradict you. And in the end, what ever hunch you had actually came true.

Is that any different from lying? Or maybe that person is just lying to him/herself.

Should one feel hurt and angry or no feelings whatsoever?

So go ahead, ponder about it for a while.
