and then 1 week of exams. and then... freedom. still no holiday job lined up. perhaps just tuition ba. no choice, the ones i applied for din yield any results. looking forward to the holidays. who doesnt?
world cup year. abit excited. but not as excited as in 2002. no betting involved u see. gonna test drive the tuscani. see if its as good as it looks. or maybe its just a wannabe. perhaps a whole load of other cars as well? nah, not a load, maybe a handful? cos Kelvin's bro gonna change car and i probably will get pulled along to check things out. well, i hope he pulls me along. and the march's dekitting. and... the highlight of the year... changing my damned tyres. heh i better shaddup now in case i dun manage to get it changed.
now, back to reality. singtel still refuses to drop prices. and i continue to refuse to pay them $100 more. ahhhhh. now im so used to the 8310 that i may just continue to use it. heh. ermz the living room television just exploded and my parents have decided not to repair it. the living room was full of smoke when i got back last sunday. and the rag-and-bone man juz bought it for $10. 29" thomson is that worthless. anyway got a JVC 29" for $499. my my i dun think its fantastically cheap but well its cheap compared to the LCD TVs. really expensive stuff.
now.... nothing really interesting to say... but W told me about his slides about his dream cars. heh. that fella has LOTS of dream cars. anyway i dun have many dream cars, but heres wad i have driven b4, which isnt alot. first off is of course Peter's SDP 7826 Sunny. which W, Pat & Kun have all driven b4 as well. i stalled the car umpteen times. and i whacked it to 4k rpm on the slope b4. hahaha. thoroughly utilising the fees i paid. its a comfy car and its quite nice to drive. after passing, drove a few old old cars. amazingly foolish to have rented them. the condition was quite bad but fortunately they din fail on me. heard that other people werent so lucky. anyway the old old green sunny was quite powerful. i stoopidly whacked it to 130km/h on TPE with Lincoln. i think both of us were quite crazy to whack such an old car. summmore both of us just got our licences. 不知天高地厚. heh tasted the power of orchard road parking that time when we played pool at meridien. and he slept over at my place cos he lived in Jurong East. i remember bringing back our duffle bags and fieldpacks cos we were gonna ORD. wah 1st time we ever drove in and out of camp. felt like kings man. no more walking the damned slope. well, for 2 days la. and i remember visiting yiwei's 1+ million house at thomson. quite high man think 3-4 floors. totally cool. ahhh all the happy memories of the last few months.
next was a wildly powerless concerto. i drove it like crap since my licence was so new. think W did reasonably well with that one. i rem driving it up a slope to a carpark in sentosa and it crawled up at gear 1. pengz. worst car i ever driven b4. heh all because the old lancer i got din have valid road tax. and if theres a roadblock, we will be so so dead. that lancer is reasonable. just that it had crap electronic windows. cant open fully cant close fully. wth? best rental was the presea. quite executive with remote alarm. everything works. went to buy my $1k pc at sim lim with Joseph. and i rem he told me not to be crazy and just take a cab back. u can see that im really crazy about driving.
next was a vios. the 1st and only automatic i ever driven. damn relaxing but quite dangerous since theres not much control over the car. heavy reliance on the brakes when stopping. and theres no sense of speed cos it goes above 100km/h w/o me noticing. its relatively new, low mileage, and quite solidly built la. well done for thailand! haha much better than the soluna i imagine. next is of course summer rain. brand new. not very solidly built. but cheap la wad to do. now that i have changed my driving habits, i feel its reasonably ok. best discovery was that its fc isnt as bad as wad pple think. oh yeah i test drove the current sunny and facelifted vios b4 as well. both are quite ok.
well i wanna find out hw the tuscani is like. heh. and a chance to drive a turbo. either a WRX or Evo is fine. hopefully the next car after the rio is a turbo. a manual turbo. a simple dream... no need for a million bucks. perhaps a condo. but definitely a manual turbo. well thats my current thinking now. who knows it might change.
