and study hard from now on. lots of labs and projects and tutorials and lectures and tests to clear.
on a lighter note, i was pretty happy yesterday. haha. anyway i juz paid $1042.99 for insurance and $448.50 for road tax a few days ago. thats a HUGE amount of $$$$$. heh. summer juz clocked over 18k km a few days back. 2 more weeks to 14 March. will probably hit 19k km then. below average user!
well Man U hammered Wigan 4-0 to win the League Cup. how pathetic. winning a cup which they themselves deem unimportant. for the past 4 years, they won the League in 02/03, won the FA Cup in 03/04, lost the FA Cup final to Arsenal in 04/05 and won the League Cup in 05/06. 3 trophies in 4 years isnt a bad result. but at Man U, its considered a failure. haben won the League in 3 seasons and the Champions League in 7 years. well, what to do.
ok shant talk much more. gotta go. stay good.

incoherent thoughts
its been a week since i blogged. no, i wasnt that busy during the "holidays". the so called 4-day "break". had a BBQ with the usual JC gang minus Joseph. plus Kevin. on Tues. din manage to pick up blading. well theres always the next time. apart from that, had been dilligently studying for the test today. and in the end i found it hard though i did lots of papers. sigh. coming 6 weeks will be tough. steeling myself for it.
caught Munich yesterday. cool movie. very retro but well paced. amazing movie actually. much better than the 2 recent ones i caught. namely I Not Stupid Too and Fearless. lotsa new movies coming. X3, M:I3, Jarhead sounds good. Underworld 2. I din catch Underworld. oh yeah Final Destination 3 is out. haven been watching much movies these few years... its actually very nice to catch a good movie. leaves me feeling satisfied. i should go read up on the 1972 Munich Games. im such a history buff. anyway i finished The Da Vinci Code and Rule of Four a while back. The Da Vinci Code is good. well it lives up to its hype. what can i say. looking forward to the movie as well. oh yeah Memoirs of a Geisha is coming too... haben went around to reading the book yet. Rule of Four is comparatively boring. but i think its pretty ok too.
well. lemme list the movies i watched the past few years. can be counted by hand. Munich, Fearless, I Not Stupid Too, Harry Potter Goblet of Fire, Goal, Seven Swords, War of the Worlds (quite lousy considering the hype), Initial D, Kingdom of Heaven, The Best Bet, White Chicks, Ocean's Twelve, The Day After Tomorrow. and an R(A) show which is so bad that i cant remember the title. Goal has sequels. is it Real: The Movie? gosh Santiago Munez is so inspiring. i missed SPL. and i din catch I Not Stupid. hmmmm GV hasnt earned alot of my $$$$$$ these few years.
well cable is expensive. $35 per month including soccer. hmmm still thinking about it. haha chelsea lost to barca. very satisfying. but real lost to arsenal. its such an unpredictable game. best not to start betting again. i noticed todays papers excluded adverts on 3230. only 2 things come to mind. 1) its gonna surface again in a week or 2 at a lower price. 2) its extinct. well lets wait and see. honestly i feel like getting a phone NOW! heh car prices are inching up. nothing done to ARF during the budget. oh yeah how much am i getting? i still remember the pain of missing $400 by 1 day. everybody got it except me. enuff said.
oh i din go running. feeling uncomfortable. lots of work to do actually. im trying to overcome inertia.... time to go sleep. nitez!

i have just changed my dream ride
its official as of now. i have changed my dream ride from a Subaru Impreza WRX STi to a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR. why? heres why.
1) highway TP is using the base WRX. stuck on so many orange stickers. and the ugly flashing lights. highway patrol used to have a cool single bulb blue flashing light on the BMWs and Volvos, not those red and blue wide-as-the-whole-roof kind found on neighbourhood patrol cars. yucks.
2) reason no. 1 was juz kidding. the real reason is that the Impreza underwent a facelift this year and acquired the F1 style nose. IMHO, not very nice. the GD was the best, nicer than the bugeye. 2nd best was the slim eye. if u know Impreza history that is.
3) most important reason: price. the Evo VIII MR cost 160k. the Evo IX GSR cost 127k. large discount for a newer model. no idea why. but this certainly makes it attractive. comparatively, the WRX STi costs 118k.
4) 10k price diff is explained by 40 HP. Evo has 320 while STi has 280. 0-100km/h in 5 sec flat, compared to 5.4 for STi.
5) 2nd most important reason: much less common than STi. alot of people modded their base WRX to a STi. even TS to STi. now, nobody can mod a Lancer to an Evo.
hehe. doubt will be changing anytime soon though. sigh Man Utd lost to Liverpool. sucky. luckily i followed my brain and din bet, instead of my heart. level ball was tempting. well, i better not start.... saved $100 today.
feel like changing rims. haha. oh well im calculating the budget. give me 1 sec

yesterday's entry
typed yesterday but couldnt load it up. luckily i saved a copy b4 it failed to load.
sigh. the 2006 test was horrible. even kun feels so. the 2011 lab b4 the test was horrible too. din know wad was going on through out the lab. spent the whole night finishing the report. now its 1am+ already. luckily we could bring it home. else i would have gotten 0 marks for it. yes it was that bad. so, after the doom and gloom, 2 labs and 1 test down. 1 lab and 1 test to go... gotta go to skool tml juz to hand up the freaking lab report.
had the impulse to buy the 6230i yesterday. luckily din succumb to it. impulse buys are regretful. luckily they dun occur to me much. i take pride in the fact that i dun usually buy on impulse. but then there were a few times i regret not buying something there and then. and i couldnt go back and get it. well i suppose its give and take.
din know that the Silvia had 250 horsepower. thats awesome. how come nissan stopped producing the Silvia and Skyline? sad. so many good cars are gone now.
well think its time to sleep. good night.

just a short one
juz pumped petrol and i clocked 15.3km/l. new record. seems like open pod doesnt affect FC much. in fact this is the best tank since i got the car. clocking average of 14km/l after changing to open pod. well, quite surprising to say the least.
oh yes. 2 new driving patterns to boot. no more PIE-> CTE-> AYE. its just ECP-> AYE now. yes its further, but the view is nicer and more importantly traffic is smoother. i hate driving in jams. 2nd thing is im finally utilising the radio licence fee now. stopped listening to CDs all the time and listening to Class 95 instead. the irritating Rod and Glen and FD. but theres nice songs to be heard. well actually im sick of the CDs even though its a 10 disc changer.
finally gotten round to buying the biotech textbook. hope its useful. well off to study for my tests now. ciaoz.

hello. long time no see
haben been online much this week except for a little while last monday and fri. wanted very much to blog a few words, but was down with fever. no mood.
joseph left on monday to winter wonderland. sadz. 1 buddy less. pat is leaving end of this month. another buddy missing. hopefully will save some money ($1000 is not "some" money; its freaking ALOT!) and go visit...
wants very much to change hp. as usual, waiting for price to drop.... sux man always waiting. v3i looks good and has the features i want. nokia. lets juz say they dun make funky phones which are cheap. 6230i and 3230 are rectangular blocks.
middle of feb. 2 tests this week. 3 labs. i hope i can make it to fri. liberation! 1 week break. ahhhhhhh how shiok. Valentines Day this tues. doesnt matter. a loser like me doesnt have any appointments that day. its just any other ordinary day.
summer rain mileage 17.5k km. 17500000. 11 months old in 2 days. 1 month 2 days to hit 2.5k km so that im an average user. thats around 5 more tanks of petrol. doubt i will hit that. road tax and insurance coming up. well still fantasising about a new set of rims. make it 16 inches. make it gold in colour. haha im a hopeless case. might not be changing anytime soon though since throwing 20k km tyres are abit of a waste. seeing the current 13" rims makes me puke. and the tyre grip is poor... anyway petrol prices dropped back finally. hope this continues. ramming alot these days. the sound of the open pod is addictive. dun bother about FC much anymore. well, its proven. 1 year after getting a new car and first-time-owners will be immune to dings and scratches. and heck care about FC.
hope joseph isnt freezing his ass off. -7 to 5 degrees Celsius. apparently his Internet connection isnt up. no sign of him on MSN. wonder if his apartment has the washing machine and fridge and heater he wanted. and hot water. not that i can do anything about it. time to crawl into my bed and enjoy the 28 degrees Celsius night. dun be jealous joseph. good night everyone.

holiday withdrawal syndrome
MARLBORO: Men Always Remember Love Because Of Romance Only. now, which smart ass thought that up??
learnt this kinda nonsense over the holidays. its from Young & Dangerous V. how productive. but its shiok to juz eat drink watch DVDs and chit chat mindlessly with no deadlines to rush nor important things to do. come May, this will be the kind of life undergrads all over singapore will lead again!! yayyyyy!!! well, except for those who find a job and slog real hard over the hols....
siao liao today was a notti boi, cut 2 tutorial classes to do tutorials at home. guess the 3 hrs spent to go skool for tutorials might as well be better spent at home actually doing them. but i discovered the solutions are not uploaded online.... yet. so frustrating not being able to check my answers....
sigh kena poison from W cos i saw the Rio bodykit again juz now..... so tempted.... shall go to sleep on this.... nitez!
