TEF's words of wisdom

"dun look back. just get on with it."

i must say i agree with Miss Tay on this one. good piece of advice. perhaps when the moon turns blue again, she can offer another. anyway my blog's been spiced up liao. with this mention of her name. or so she says.....

right. wishing Miss Tay all the best in her work. and all the best to me too. wonder if i have time to blog frequently these 4 weeks. perhaps i will, but maybe not frequently la.

now for the 64 thousand dollars question. which i keep forgetting to ask. is the guy we saw at the airport Pat's brother or uncle??? think everyone is curious to know.

tata. till we meet again.

its friday

spent the whole afternoon and night studying. quite happy with the progress made although i took 2 short naps in between. and daydreamed awhile after dinner. was driving back when i saw a yellow WRX tailgating a white Wish on Benjamin Sheares bridge. both were going at least 120. and the WRX overtook it damn quickly. was like watching The Fast and Furious. the Wish promptly tailgated the WRX in return. and right behind them were a white WRX and CS3. all very modded with stickers, exhaust, neon..... think was a group of friends out playing. all driving damn fast.

heh happening man but i din do anything foolish like following them la. they disappeared and i continued my own safety driving. was heeding my own advice to drive carefully. but lo and behold when i reached Loyang exit at the beginning of TPE, an Audi suddenly cut in front of me and jam braked cos some road works was going on under the bridge and there was a jam. i jam braked as well and the car skidded. road was wet but luckily i wasnt fast. can smell the smoke from the tyres man. and the sunny in the right lane horned at me! wad the hell, stoopid lady driver who road hogged on the way up the bridge from PIE to TPE and din thank me for not letting my car skid into her lane. i managed to turn back the skidding and just eat into her lane abit yet she horned at me. i nv even horn at the damn Audi. luckily in a good mood and just open pod off without even looking at the cock sunny lady. wad the hell drive slowly also kenna such an incident. think the Audi tot CMI korean car drive slower than him he can just eat into the damn lane abruptly.

haiya nvm juz 4get abt it. shall continue to drive safely.... vented my pissed-off-ness and now i find out yet again that the current tyres are so crappy. skidded quite a few times liao esp. on wet roads even if just braking gently. just CMI. luckily rain had stopped this time. and the smell of the smoked tyre.... wah damn strong. smelt it a few times already, and all from my own tyres summore. not cool at all la its damn dangerous. although spinning the tyres at the bus stop in front of Arts is abit cool. hehe. wonder if i can do it with performance tyres? perhaps can find out next time after i change. heh must have a new heading for the next entry.

stressful day

was fine going to school. till after lunch when i realised the 2006 VHDL lab test has got loads to study actually. this information courtesy of kun. fortunately the test was at 4.30 and i had about 3 hrs to study... damn stressed when i found out that i knew quite little. and i thought there was nothing much to study... while kun was having a nice nap, i was mugging away... to think that i had griped about the test timing starting so late while normal labs started at 2pm.

when the test started, oh wow the rest all started typing furiously, whereas i was reading the question over and over again. hell, i was sian hearing all the typing when i wasnt even halfway through planning. luckily i recalled my little practice during D2A intro labs and my last minute learning. think i wont fail very badly... hope i wun.

heh anyway thats the end of ALL my 13 labs. all projects completed as well. time to take a short short breather b4 facing the exams... im like so dead with so many things to catch up... gonna get screwed...

pat's been gone a week. joseph, a month+. quite fast eh? who knows in a blink of an eye 28 apr will arrive in a flash. and the much anticipated holidays will be here. drats. was very reckless today when coming back home. lab test ended at 6+ and the jam was in full force. AYE ECP wasnt very bad... but i nearly kissed a sunny... din really brake much when the sunny suddenly jammed brake... sigh was just reminding myself last week to drive more carefully. sucks man can imagine the scolding if i caused an accident... please please please be more careful...

in the process of formulating a business plan. and still looking for that holiday job which will pay well and take up little time. well take up little time cos i still have to give tuition. but still looking since kun continually encourages me to do something more constructive for the resume. all these, in the name of making more $$$$$$$$$. heh sometimes i feel theres no point earning so much if you simply keep it. spending it is the fun.... not that im advocating people to be spendthrifts. spend within your means! as for me now, i dun even have much to spend on a new phone. since i expect to spend alot during the hols, i cant help but be happy with what i have now. please please dun start on soccer betting... i cant afford to lose any $$$. sigh can i dream up a lucrative business idea? yahoo's pretty lucrative, but i dun have anything much to sell now. and i din win the 10 million TOTO.... and i cant teach extra tuition cos exams are coming... stressssssssssssssssss

week 11

2 more weeks and we are through... to the exams. thats a sobering thought. finally 12 labs out of the 13 this sem are done. 2006 project is done. 2006 4-page report done. 2006 quiz buang-ed. 2009 quiz buang-ed. 2010 mid term over. 2011 mid term over. 1527 quiz buang-ed. 1527 2-page essay done. 1415 20-page project done. gearing up for exams.

patrick is gone. no sign of him online yet. been online the past few days to finish projects. but haben really had the time or mood to blog. attempts to land a holiday job are still unsuccessful thus far. kun has condemned me to being a tutor. not nice for the resume he says. yeah correct, but no job pays so highly and yet work such short hours. boy do i need $$$$ this holidays. lots of tuition assignments recently but im already full so i cant take up any. sad. exams coming summore. dun even know how to cut down on tuition, much less take up more assignments.

summer has gone 20+k km. 1 year already. how time flies. i will forever remember march 14, 2005. it is 1 of the happiest, happiest days in my life. nah, its THE happiest one. looking back, i really appreciate the convenience, and the cost, of owning a car. but i really look forward to going to school and tuition this past year. have the chance to drive, you see. oh but i feel im driving recklessly recently... better tone down... esp. when i rode W's car... although he says he is scared to drive fast, but i feel that he drives well, although slower than what im usually used to. im more reckless you see. he is more conscious of safety, which is something i have to take note of more often... yeah yeah im the impatient sort when im in a hurry. pat will laugh if he sees this. he is a pretty good driver too. yeah im the most reckless driver among my jc buddies.

saw 1 of my uni frenz driving a SFY jazz. changed both bumpers to huge bodykits, changed euro tail lights. but stock rims. looks fierce. should ask him what he did if i see him next time. 1 white rex, and 1 white lancer sports. and a mr2. and a black civic es5 wif sticker licence plate in front. all quite fierce. a purple Evo too! all parked in engin....

back in 405, a black civic esi owned by a SSG, a grey lancer cs2, a black vios. all bodykitted and lowered... the esi was previously very ugly with a horrible kit. 1 fine day he changed kits and a high high spoiler. very nice 14 yr old car i would say. same 15" rims though. the other 2 are both on 16"s. heh very nice leh. oh yeah the black spectra is gone. no bodykit and not lowered, but abit fierce la. the uncle changed to a black carens with bodykit and scoop. mai siao siao. stock rims and not lowered though. oh yeah another white esi with kit. old car, but seems like it appeared not long ago... seems lowered. last but not least, a SGD cerato with kit. OPC and not lowered though. even W says the cerato sports looks nice. quite fierce sia my carpark. no Evo or WRX though.

haiya thinking about modding will make me a little happy. lifts my spirits abit. people will ask whats the point of modding. but i feel those who arent interested wun appreciate it. a car is just a car. why mod? its like asking whats the diff between Giordano and Levi's jeans. its all jeans. whats the diff between Renoma and LV wallets? its all wallets. whats the diff between a 6510 and a N70? its all phones. a man's meat is another man's poison la. they wun appreciate the difference between a stock tyre and a Yokohama AVS ES100. its all tyres who cares about grip? lowering springs or coilovers vs. stock springs? lower body can cup corners better and is more stable but people dun see the point. so whenever im asked "whats the point of modding your car?" by pple, i have nothing to say.... wasting my breath.

no sign of the 3230. has it really gone extinct? 6230i is still at 248. i may get that for all i know. 6111 is out since it doesnt have expandable memory. v3x is released! 478 nia. amazingly, v3i is still 398. still playing the waiting game.

well time's up for those waiting for car prices to drop. game's over. prices went up by 5k when the govt announced a cut in COE quota. coe for march went up 2k. and the coming one is expected to go up 5k. good times are over.... who knows i might be able to sell summer at 50k the next few years. now who says cars are depreciating assets? haha.

fervently hoping to change rims. cant stand the sight of the lorry rims now. it looks so freaking small. sigh the tread is stopping me... its not worn out much. witnessed 1st hand how to go about changing tyres. my dad got a puncture when he came back and the tyre was so flat.

watched Girl Next Door yesterday. i watched it b4 actually. Elisha Cuthbert is really captivating to me. haha. gonna go dream about her now. bye.
