Heh heh..... its been like a month since i updated this site.......

I have a reason. I was busy looking at cars....... actually, i have only seen one...... and I bought it......

This is a real bad habit of mine. When there is something I really want, I am willing to pay any price for it. Even if it is ridiculously expensive. And I can't wait. The first person to give me an offer, I will accept.

Which is why I try to bring a friend along with me on my shopping(which does not happen often). Apparently that doesn't help either. I need to find more strong-willed friends. Ha ha

Anyway, I got myself a 1989 suzuki vitara. Soft top leh. It's all white, with a limited edition white canvas top. The engine is running fine but the clutch doesn't feel quite right. Hopefully I could get that sorted out without having to spend too much.

I will post up pictures soon. Once I get down to washing my new car.

Life in Your Palm......

Came across this interesting piece of information recently. I guess most of you may have heard of it before, but anyway, here it is...........

Wah...... lucky neber include fingernails....... Lazy to cut lah......

For guys, look at your left hand. For girls, look at your right hand. The area of the hand between the red lines is the main focus. Upon clenching your fists, lines start to appear in that area. Count the lines.

As you can see, I have 2 lines (indicated by the brown arrows).

The number of lines signify the number of relationships you are going to have.

Not inclusive of flings of course. Else those rich, handsome bastards gonna need palms the size of Australia.

Or else, something like this......

Aaron and me then analysed our our lives.

Aaron had just broken up with his girlfriend a few months back. We analysed his plam and he has 2 "lovelines". That means that he has one more credit to spare. Lucky dude.

I have none left. Damn.

Wonder if a pen knife would do the trick.......

All about guys.......

2005-04-13T01:14:00.000+10:00

Hey guys........ Came across this in my email today........

1. Guys don't actually go after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls.

2. Guys hate flirts.

3. A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards.

4. When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is.

5. "Are you doing something?" or "Have you eaten already?" are the first usual questions a guy asks on the phone just to get out from stammering.

6. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

7. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics.

8. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

9. Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention.

10. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend.

11. When guys want to meet your parents. Let them.

12. Guys want to tell you many things but they can't. And they sure have one habit to gain courage and spirit to tell you many things and it is drinking!

13. Guys cry!!!

14. Don't provoke the guy to heat up. Believe me. He will.

15. Guys can never dream and hope too much.

16. Guys usually try hard to get the girl who has dumped them, and this makes it harder for them to accept their defeat.

17. When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back.

18. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...never mind!" would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking.

19. Guys go crazy when girls touch their hands.

20. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.

21. When a guy makes a prolonged "umm" or makes any excuses when you're asking him to do you a favor, he's actually saying that he doesn't like you and he can't lay down the card for you.

22. When a girl says "no", a guy hears it as "try again tomorrow."

23. You have to tell a guy what you really want before he gets the message clearly.

24. Guys hate gays!

25. Guys love their moms.

26. A guy would sacrifice his money for lunch just to get you a couple of roses.

28. You can never understand him unless you listen to him.

29. If a guy tells you he loves you once in a lifetime. He does.

36. Guys really admire girls that they like even if they're not that much pretty.

37. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.

38. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

39. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

40. A guy finds ways to keep you off from linking with someone else.

41. Guys love girls with brains more than girls in miniskirts.

44. Guys cannot keep secrets that girls tell them.

45. Guys think too much.

46. Guys' fantasies are unlimited.

47. Girls' height doesn't really matter to a guy but her weight does!

51. You have to tell a guy what you really want before getting involved with that guy.

52. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be matured and grow up.

53. When an unlikable circumstance comes, guys blame themselves a lot more than girls do. They could even hurt themselves physically.

54. Guys have strong passion to change but have weak will power.

55. Guys are tigers in their peer groups but become tamed $#%%#cats with their girlfriends.

58. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me"

59. Guys don't really have final decisions.

60. When a guy loves you, bring out the best in him.

61. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him.

74. Girls who bathe in their eau de perfumes do more repelling than attracting guys.

75. Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic is about girls.

76. Guys don't comprehend the statement "Get lost" too well.

77. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions but still love them more.

78. When a guy gives a crooked or pretentious grin at your jokes, he finds them offending and he just tried to be polite.

79. Guys don't care about how shiny their shoes are unlike girls.

80. Guys tend to generalize about girls but once they get to know them, they'll realize they're wrong.

81. Any guy can handle his problems all by his own. He's just too stubborn to deal with it.

82. Guys find it so objectionable when a girl swears.

83. Guys' weakest point is at the knee.

84. When a problem arises, a guy usually keeps himself cool but is already thinking of a way out.

85. When a guy is conscious of his looks, it shows he is not good at fixing things.

86. When a guy looks at you, either he's amazed of you or he's criticizing you.

87. When you catch him cheating on you and he asks for a second chance, give it to him. But when you catch him again and he asks for another chance, ignore him.

88. If a guy lets you go, he really loves you.

89. If you have a boyfriend, and your boy best friend always glances at you and it obviously shows that he is jealous whenever you're with your boyfriend, all I can say is your boy best friend loves you more than your boyfriend does.

90. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.

91. You can tell if a guy is really hurt or in pain when he cries in front of you!

92. If a guy suddenly asks you for a date, ask him first why.

93. When a guy says he can't sleep if he doesn't hear your voice even just for one night, hang up. He also tells that to another girl. He only flatters you and sometimes makes fun of you.

94. You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him praying sometimes.

95. Guys seek for advice not from a guy but from a girl.

96. Girls are allowed to touch boys' things. Not their hair!

97. If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you.

98. Guys hate girls who overreact.

99. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships

iPod Vs Zen.....

2005-04-01T00:45:00.000+10:00

For once, I have resisted the urge to buy something that I felt that I absolutely WANTED to have. This particular object in question is the 30GB Ipod Photo.

I bought the Zen Micro about 3 months back. I had a hard time deciding between the Zen and the Ipod Mini. And here are the reasons why I chose the Zen over the Ipod Mini.

1. It has a 5GB capacity, whereas the Ipod Mini had only 4GB.

2. Has an in-built FM radio.

3. More accessories provided.

4. I wanted to show my support for Singapore products.

5. There was a discount on the Zen at that time.

and the main deciding factor...............

6. Ipod mini was out of stock.

Anyway, I accompanied my friend Aaron to the Apple store today as we wanted to get the Ipod mini dock for our friend's birthday. That was when we caught sight of the new 30GB Ipod Photo. The shop owner further tempted us by holding up the display set for us to try out.

Aaron finally succumbed to temptations and got the Ipod Photo. I resisted. Hooray.....

This technology race is costing me lots of money.

BTW, I will be passing by the shop again tomorrow. We'll see........

I waited 4 and a half hours in the cold for this!! But I had a wonderful time testing out my camera's capabilities....

Too bad the fireworks didn't last for as long as I would have liked.

Anyway, I have posted some of the better shots I got up on flickr. Please go check them out and give me your comments.

2005-03-28T23:45:00.000+10:00

As promised, here is an explanation for my previous post..........

I came across something interesting when I was going through some of the other blogger's blog........ Hmmm..... did that come out right?...... blogger's blog......... Well......

I will briefly describe this whole episode as it has been repeated on so many blogs already...........

Seems like there is this really famous Singapore blogger called Xiaxue who so happened to be recruited as an ambassador for a clothing apparel store. Wow, a celebrity blogger. How about that?

Well, a photo of her in a rather seductive pose was posted on Flickr by a fellow blogger Mr Miyagi. Following that, he and mr. brown decided to come up with their own versions of the sexy pose.

All hell broke loose after that.

Today I learnt that there are many, many sexy bloggers out there........... * Drool *

Alone in the world.......

2005-03-24T12:07:00.000+11:00

Hey........ Special thanks to CDC and CY for giving me their precious comments.......... And I thought no one cared........ ha ha............ CDC, I played your online trivia game and I got a grand score of 4/10!!!!........ I suck at this don't I?............. CY....... Great blog you have got there......... maybe we can form the "Fellowship of Forgetfulness" someday ya?

My study buddy seem to have something against only childs........ and she seems to like bitching about them to me.........during which I, being an only child myself, tries hard not to be offended........ According to her, only childs tends to crave attention, be selfish, self-centered, eccentric, obnoxious, idiotic, bossy, weird, etc. in other words, an ASSHOLE....... I hate that!!!!........ I am not WEIRD!!!!............ ok...... that was a joke......

Only childs have it tough.......... real tough......... They get the full 100% force of mom's nagging........ the full, unshared version......... and can you imagine playing with yourself? Thats gotta be dumb...........

And the worst thing about being a young only child comes when something goes wrong............. There is no one to push the blame to!!!!

Imagine this:
Only child playing in the living room accidentally breaks the vase....... and mom comes running in.........

MOM : What happened!!?!?! (Looks at broken vase) Who did this??!?!?
ONLY CHILD : He did it!!....... (Points in random direction)
M : (Looks Around, Puzzled) Who?
OC : Brother did it......... He's hiding now......
M : But........ boy........ You don't have a brother.....
OC : Damn.......

Boy......... do I have a troubled childhood.....

Today I learnt that only childs are not selfish, self-centered, eccentric, obnoxious, idiotic, bossy or weird............... They are just special.

Blogging is tough...

2005-03-23T12:45:00.000+11:00

Yeah........ you heard me....... this blogging thing is tough......... Not tough because I can't put thoughts to words mind you........... just that, I have this incredibly short term memory........... I just can't recall a single thing that happened to me today..........

Gosh........ Do you people have times when you just can't remember what you were doing a minute ago?.......... Well, that happens to me all the time.......... and you know what the worse part is?.......... I recall again about an hour later, which by then, I had already put down what I was doing because I had given up on trying to remember........... Aaaaannnnnddddd then.......... I go back to what I had been doing, only to forget again........... You guys see the vicious cycle happening here?.......

...... No wonder my mum keeps complaining that I never get anything done............. Ma, I tried........ They are all about 75% done now.........

Its starting to get cold here in Sydney........... Which is good for me but bad for my housemate......... We live in the same house, but our room temperatures are worlds apart.........his room gets all of the sunlight during the day whereas mine never ever gets any.......... Which explains the 5 degrees difference in our room temperatures.......... Which probably also explains why he is always so bright and happy, and I am so depressed and lifeless..........

Today I learnt that you better be nice to the person serving you your food........

Preface......

2005-03-22T20:43:00.001+11:00

Firstly, I would like to start off by saying a few words before I start ranting away.

A little bit about myself currently........... I am an Electrical Engineering student in the University of New South Wales, struggling very hard to stow away my TV now so that I can spend some of my time on my studies instead (The shows in Sydney can be quite addictive........ Who can resist Simpsons, The OC and CSI?)......... I shy away from big events although I try to attend as many as my courage allows me to............

I seem to be heading into a "quarter life crisis" which probably is what inspired me to start this blog............ or it could be due to the fact that I have no one I trust enough to bitch to........ Ha ha........Yeah......Smart move.... Choosing to confide to the world instead?......... Well...... you guys don't know who I am anyway.............. And, even if no one reads this, at least I have the impression that I told someone.........

Today I learnt that What Doesn't Break You Will Only Serve To Make You STRONGER!!!
