Sentosa
A saturday spent at Sentosa + a meal at Marche's to celebrate Tim's birthday was a great way to pass the weekend.
The tanning session wasn't too good for some of them, turning them into human lobsters. We have the shy and the really shy. Guys not willing to take the top off...girls not knowing if they should strip down to tan...this is the 21th century.
Not the 1980s man haha. Just need 1 person to start the ball rolling anyway.
Food was good at Marche too, alittle on the high side but nevertheless, good to eat! To top it off, the rain made the ambience even better and the crowd of us sure liven up the night.
Lobsters, don't forget the cooling lotion and moisturizers like banana boat's alovera gel.
Some pics are up on facebook. Check it out!

Manila
My last overseas business trip - Manila.
Food is good and cheap. Couldn't be better.
Some differences between Philippines and Singapore-
People in the Philippines are warm and friendly (esp when you need help) compared to Singaporeans (cold and unfriendly, well majority are..)
Safety in the Philippines cannot be compared to Singapore. You can't walk on the streets at night or in the day if you look like a foreigner. You'll be robbed with a gun or knife.
Japanese food in the Philippines is really tasty and cheap compared to SG again.
Drivers in Singapore are not as good as Philippines'. Should see the way they drive in jams...1 lane squeeze 2 cars mirror to mirror.
Our currency makes stuff cheaper in the Philippines!
Besides all the comparison, it's time to move on with life and leave behind this job that requires quite alot of flying. Sure it sounds and looks fun, but it is quite taxing and hectic too. At least I collect miles points, got to see some countries and their cities.
Next stage of life: UOL.
My chance at redemption! So called to speak. Get in there and give it MY ALL!
Oh SIM has great food too! Especially the Mega Bites Cafe! Cheap and big servings.
Campus life again. That means...time to hunt for a part time job...!...to supplement my expediture. No more modding car, no more restaurant dinners, no more guitar stuff shopping, no more credit card collections.
Ah, just for 3 years. Gonna make it worth it.
God be my Guide.

help desk
I did be delighted to get my reply from UOL, stating I'm accepted, BUT... looks like it's just SLJ ( short lived joy). I'm gonna have to find a way to cough up 4.5K or so to settle my place in the uni...
Where on earth are we gonna get 8.8K for 1st year, 7.8K for 2nd and another 7.8K for 3rd year???
Exam fees ain't cheap. They are in pounds...POUNDS, not USD, not euro dollar, let alot ringget.
Well, God you said, that I am to trust you. . . and that You are my provider and will provide for me everything. Given me the slot in the uni, I'm sure there has to be a way to solve this rising issue before dateline.
Call it a desperation prayer. Sometimes our life's destiny is controlled by something and not us. Does feel bad that I don't grow a money tree in the house. I would have set up a whole freaking 100 acres of plantation if money could be grown on trees.
Hello destiny, hello future; I control you both.

Check out the Honda Integra.
Honda Euro R with a reinforced engine. Wonder why???
The owner wants her turbocharged up. 2.4 L of raw HP not enough...
The Big O Muffler of the Integra.
I was talking a scroll under the Integra anyway.
Just another day out and I came across a red Evo 9. Kinda love the vinyls.
Who says Evos ain't pretty? They are pretty loud and pretty fast with a loud whistling sound that marks a turbo sitting in the engine bay. Just the kind of car I will consider getting.
And those BIG wings. I believe it can fly.

20 May 2009
With my university application settled and the waiting game on my list, I have to make do with my remaining time to learn as much as I can during my free time. Learn anything, everything that I can.
With the guitar lesson started again, help has helped me to break through the wall that hindered my growth.
So who's up for tasting? I'm gonna try cook something some time soon. Maybe this saturday if I don't need to bring the car down to swap out bearings.
When's jamming coming back!!!??? Hands and legs are itchy! Unscratchable, intolerable.
Kkkk, I'm done blabbering!

Workshop night
One night at the workshop and you could pick up quite a few more tips on tech stuff! Not for the girls of course. They wouldn't want to put their beautiful manicure to waste and get engine grease under the nails. I would say its a Honda equipped workshop. A couple of type r engines lying around, oil coolers, bearings, hoses, bolts, rims, u name it, and lastly, a stripped down EG6 jacked up at the workshop.
Why is it up on the arms? From my cousin, I heard the car got into a serious accident, front was dented and the wheel crushed and bent the knuckle arm and drive shaft right out of place on the left side. See that thing sticking out?
Some of the B20As sitting around here. Wonderful engine that I did swap a B16A, B16B for it.
Cos it belongs to a TYPE-R. Such engines are found only in the Rs. Hence the red engine cover.
An old merc on the left, the Mazda 3 on the right, and further ahead of the Mazda 3 is a red Evo X.
What an antique! I only know of one person who still drives an old Merc like this...haha...and this one is in better condition than his!
There you go, that's the REAL thing sitting inside, the Evo X. It is own by my cousin's friend. Seems like most Civic owners upgraded from their VTEC rides to a TC 1. (Turbo charged)
Maybe I will go that path too, but not until I had my fill of the NA rides.
I am a car freak and I still think those who own a car, drive a car, but know nuts about your car sure don't have a love for it. Good to know at least how to change your tires....!

I need a compass: For directional sake of course! I got too many possible avenues and paths.
I need equipment: Stuff that are essential or will aid you in this endeavor.

Dekit
So there goes the Simota, sitting inside the engine bay.
Disconnect the sensor and put out the Simota carbon charger.
What you probably get when you're suppose to install the simota into the car. CAI tube, rings, breather, mandrel pipes, rachet...etc!
The CAI sure looks weird haha. It can stretch really long. 1m.
This thing produces quite a mean sound. Loud air rushing sound with a deep growl!
Sure is fun to kit and dekit haha. Let's just say you need to have the passion or else it's gonna be NOT-FUN. Experimenting, it's a guy's thing.
Well, now the stock intake and MAF sensor holdings are back in place, but it's not entirely stock haha. The CAI runs from the front of the stock intake to the bottom front of the car. What more to take the cold air up. Sure is more quiet with the stock back on.
I'm gonna find a way to prevent the growl from getting into the cabin. Sound proofing...creating my own airbox...haha...I have the time to think and make it now.

Live Life Love
Here comes the Monday blues...
Shouldn't say that.
Here comes the Monday greens! (with enthusiasm)
If it isn't about the job, the car, the future, the person of your dreams, I can't really find a reason to live making a living everyday, except to live.
The investments (be it stocks, shares, friends), the risk, the irony of life, takes quite a toll on our lifes. Wonder why some people die early? Ok, that is not backed up by facts haha.
No matter what, my interest always gets the better of me. A stunning Veilsports rx-8, mugen civic type r, mitsu evo 9 MR. Wouldn't wanna appreciate the continential cars yet. We're still young. (Japanese over continental)
Those who disagree, too bad for you. We have different perspectives.
Now which path on a crossroad should I take??? Give me a car 1st, then I can try out all of them and U-turn if I don't like it. (A good car plz...not some QQ, KIA....a ten second car...)

In the same day, I saw a different FTO, black but without a badge in between the rear lights along Lornie Road. 40-50K for a car more than 13 years old anyone???
Damn cool butt. Ain't in production anymore. What a pity.

Orchard Gudang
Guess what happened between a premier cab and a white mazda 3sp?The kia kissed the mazda's butt and that's harrassment.
So the 2 drivers are by the kia's side talking about how to settle things.
In today's papers, the OG racers got busted by the cops...highly modified civics and rexs that race down Orchard Gudang, Singapore's version of Pasir Gudang around 2-3am in the wee hours at neck breaking speed.
One popular choice among the youngsters, the EG6, easily modified to race down the 10.4km OG track.
Here's mini version of the map. Not that clear and not that it mattered to any of us out there since we don't race.
The racers were also caught for illegal mods on top of breaking the speed limit and endangering the lifes of others. We live in a pay & pay society, thus the fine to discourage them from racing again.
The B16A DOHC VTEC that can rev up to 7800rpms gives the Honda Civic EG6 a whopping 160hp in stock. When modified, it can reach pass 200hp with a feather weight of 1000kg or lesser.
Racing is the in thing!
With youngsters nowadays exposed to the latest Fast & Furious 4, there might be an increase in wannabe racers and inital D. Suggest they hit the arcade for Maximum Tune DX game before taking it out on the roads. The insurance premiums are pricer than ever due to increasing number of crashes. Just don't lose your life playing.
NOT ALL IS LOST...
The Changi Motorsports Hub (CMH) may be ready only in 2011, but the wheels are already set in motion to bring in top international motor races to Singapore.
After months of delay, the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) announced the Request For Proposal to build and manage the CMH on Monday.
Upon completion, the proposed 3.5km track, which is located next to the Changi Airshow site, will be given a Grade 2 rating by the International Automobile Federation and Grade 1 by the International Motorcycling Federation.
irony of life
After spending the better part of life studying like mad, I wonder what is it that we truely learn.
So much money pumped into education. It's a profitable market if you see it from a different view.
Still there is an awful waste of cash as the youngsters in Singapore turn out atrocious...
So much money pumped into education. It's a profitable market if you see it from a different view.
Still there is an awful waste of cash as the youngsters in Singapore turn out atrocious...
- The littering
- The lack of heart to study
- Horrible road users (be it speeding too)
Oh well, the list can go on and on. Kids can sure hold a lift for 5minutes w/o knowing he has just held up the entire block and he ain't 6 years old but probably 11. Whose fault?
Stupid wall of humans outside the MRT door. What I do? Practise what you see in the medieval movies. Charge through them and if possible, do pick their pockets and add to the waste of education.
Washing your car in a carpark with 2 cars parked beside you...no consideration...all the dust and water just goes to the other cars. Whose fault is this?
Don't you think humans on this planet are just here to drain dry resources and leave the world in a derelict place.
And darn do we love cars! They are 1 of the biggest source of pollution. Whoever invented engine ought to be shot and then cars won't exist. Good news is, this world is not my home. So BOCHAP, just drive and be a petrolhead, tear down the roads at the fastest possible speed your puny car or SUV can put out.

motivational story in life
To the readers, here is a story which a friend of mine sent me thru an email. It is really interesting and love to share it here too. Enjoy!
THE LOAD
The Ant and the Contact Lens: a true story
Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens .
'Great', she thought. 'Here I am on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff, and now my sight is blurry.' She looked and looked, hoping that somehow it had landed on the ledge. But it just wasn't there. She felt the panic rising in her, so she began praying.. She prayed for calm, and she prayed that she may find her contact lens.
When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but it was not to be found. Although she was calm now that she was at the top, she was saddened because she could not clearly see across the range of mountains. She thought of the bible verse 'The eyes of the Lord run to and from throughout the whole earth.' She thought, 'Lord, You can see all these mountains. You know every stone and leaf, and You know exactly where my contact lens is. Please help me.'
Later, when they had hiked down the trail to the bottom of the cliff they met another party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff. One of them shouted out, 'Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?' Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across a twig on the face of the rock, carrying it!?
The story doesn't end there. Brenda's father is a cartoonist.
When she told him the incredible story of the ant, the prayer, and the contact lens, he drew a cartoon of an ant lugging that contact lens with the caption, 'Lord, I don't know why You want me to carry this thing. I can't eat it, and it's awfully heavy. But if this is what You want me to do, I'll carry it for You.'
I think it would do all of us some good to say, 'God, I don't know why You want me to carry this load. I can see no good in it and it's awfully heavy. But, if You want me to carry it, I will.' God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. Yes, I do love GOD. He is my source of existence and my Savior. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him....I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Phil. 4:13)

Burn out
Just My Luck!
Barely a few weeks after the mod and guess what? The old CCFL fluorescent tube burnt itself out...
Still there's a different look about the car. Pretty with the orange still.

I disconnected the right side's CCFL ballast to even out the 1 eye look.
This is the close up of the left lamp...browning on the end nearest to the wires show it is dead. Btw the water droplets are due to rain on Sunday.
Looks like I have to think of a new project again.
LEDS...superbright 1s...

They call it AE effect. That means angel eyes effect. With the creation of LEDs, makes modding more fun. So finally, connected the leds on the side and hey pesto! orange strips! Love it!
Doesn't look beng but distinctive. A great difference in that and I defend that.

Strips are visible even in the day and with the full blast of HIDs!

Jab and poked!
The day I fell really ill! 20th March, I was sent to TTSH and accompanied by my brother.
Since I am back from India 4 days ago, 39 degrees C fever and diarrhoea, the doctor tended to me 1st!
Shiok! Jump queue. Despite the hot weather, I felt cold.
Then they stuck the bloody plant in after they isolated me coz they thought I might have some birdie flu...H5N1.
A flush of liquid. That's the drip.
Just look around the place.
Isnt it the irony??? Live strong...that's the livestrong band I wore and I was sooo ill.
They had fans for ventilations only. It's still on renovation, so no air con!
Ah, out of isolation, I realise there were lots of old people, and those who were in worse shape.
Well, I couldn't help but notice the blood streaming up the tube!
And it fascinates me haaa...not my 1st time seeing it though!
Here's a close up to gross out some of you!
Ah the wonder PSP! Imagine...39 degrees and I can still be that active!
Playing Gundam sure helped passed time as they flushed my system.
I think the game sure has an effect on the bloog supply. I thought fluid was suppose to rush down not up.
It's climbing!
Wow! quite high already!
The supply is getting further up my tube ahahhahaa..that's my blood!
Haha...I was so amused by how far it has travelled. Fever sure makes me appreciate weird things!
Here's the wonderful room that is air con! X-ray machine! It needed the air con, so did I. Took a pic of my lungs!
The lunch that is to be served.
Yucks.............
Wonderful toilet...
And sooooo...the blood test, and the x-ray came out clean...I had just a sign of traveler's diarrhoea and not the contagious incurable bird flu! Thank GoD!!!
Sorry for making a bunch of you people freak out!!!
Updates: The diarrhoea ain't going away yet. Fever has been downed by panadols.
Before and After
The difference between scrubbed and unscrubbed flip flops. Hai...lazy someone...
See the difference!!!

Dreeeeeeeam...dream dream dream.
Every one of us has a dream house, a dream job, a dream life. For me, I have a dream car.
The E3P Mazda Rx-8.
Puts out 220HP with 10000RPM, a limit of 9000RPM due to rev limiter. It's a motivation to work hard, earn the dough for this sports coupe and then modify it further.
This is the color, grey, that is attractive and the Veilside body kit is just perfect, followed by the 19 inch rims.
Ladies, you all can complain its boring if you want coz most of you can never appreciate what you're sitting in. The basic thinking is, four wheels, moves, fetch me from A-B, that's it.
Then if you girls go shopping, you could just grab a shirt and if it fits you, then buy it. It does matter if it's pretty or ugly right? Same for those of us who love cars. So if you're bored, go read some other shopping or girlish blogs about gossips.
Have a car that looks good makes you look good. You won't wanna come out of some LAO-POK car. Though you're pretty, it totally decreases your glamour.
Unless you can find a husband or wife that rich, to buy you a LAMBO, this is the closest we can ever get to it. The scissor doors.
It sure turns your friends or the crowd's heads when you turn up in one of these cars that have the doors flowing up. Just swing your legs and you can get out easily. No need worry about door spaces between cars.
Lastly, the underglow. Abit "beng" and illegal in Singapore, so...that depends if I want my car to look like an UNIDENTIFIED FLOATING OBJECT. This mod is optional.
Finally, the latest facelift of the RX-8. It is four doors...not your inconvenient 2 door sports. Makes it all the more practical ride. Goes for SGD 90,000 brand new. 1.3L Rotary that spits out 220HP. Sae you on your road tax and it is cheaper than a PORSCHE or GTR. Sexier too. I'm sure I'll get. I hope, soon! Then it will attached with pretty girls. No PRETTY girl with an interesting mindset, would want an ugly car to drive them around. A Chery QQ, Subaru R1, R2, an old sunny, daihatsu copen.
Then again, they could be materialistic.
Just need to find the one that understands and love beautiful cars too.
I think I'm close to it.

New Lambo
Lamborghini has expanded its range with a new, exceptionally purist and even more extreme top model - the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce is even more powerful, lighter and faster than the Murcielago LP 640.
It's so sexy and bumble bee color!!! Totally beat at Audi R8 or a beemer, merc, you name it. At such a time in a recession...Lambo has to tempt people to spend cash excessively for the super toy, Just love the black spoiler and air intakes.
With the output of the 6.5 liter V12 increased to 670 hp and a weight reduction of 100 kg, the Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 2.3 kg per hp.
Engine: 6.5L v12
Hp: 670
0 to 100 km/h - 3.2 seconds
Top speed of 342 km/h.
Production is limited to just 350 units.

Yesterday was 25th Feb!
A special day people. Just love the number 25, 2+5 =7.
A special day people. Just love the number 25, 2+5 =7.
And I like 7! Stands for purity and duno what else.
Anyway, it was my first cry, or in lay man's term, birthday!
Look at my birthday cake! Made of chicken wings! Our camera woman is Miss Yeung.
Really is unique! Chicken wing cake! Who would have thought about it?
Here is mun drinking his Teh Ice.
Something about the day that we saw 2 cars with similar numbers to a friend's car. Nick, your car plate number quite popular.
And both are SJL...weird day. Pictures taken by Sony Ericsson C902! My new phone!
Having just a few good friends to celebrate is better than throwing a party to feed a massive group. You get the logic =)
Besides, economic crisis people!
Thank you all for your wishes and gifts and flooring my Facebook!

Mazda 3 Subtle Make Over
I wonder what will my Dad says when he notices the changes in his car at night. Such as the emblem that glows?
The last set of angel eyes have been ruined, sooo, it's time to try a new design. Something like this.
Either all white or....maybe blue included? with a long tear on the side.
I just love the looks!
And lastly, not so important, is the rear.Crazy ideas! Wonder is it easy to do it...But it'll be worth the attention later!
So...bitter first, sweet later.

Black Beauty& Princess Fiona
Perhaps most of you have not seen this car - The Venerable Honda Civic EP3.
Civic Type R featured a 200 PS (150 kW; 200 hp) 2.0L i-VTEC engine (K20A2) and the regular Type R treatment of seam welding, close ratio 6-speed transmission and uprated brakes, but did not include some of the other higher-end features, such as the helical LSD and red Recaro race-seats, that were standard in the previous generation EK9.
Japan model included a more track-oriented chassis/undercarriage settings as compared to the EDM, as well as a 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp) i-VTEC engine (K20A) with different intake manifold,exhaust,camshafts and ECU programming.
Here's the 1st look of the car. I call it Black Beauty. Short and squatted stance.
To make the shots better, we have *clapclapclap!
Car Model: Fiona Lim
Car Make: Honda Civic Type R EP3
Beautiful cars have to go with beautiful ladies and so thus the model! Personally, I think she matches the car. Nice ride!
Name: Fiona Lim
End of the day, I still think the car can't compare to the human element. Nothing beats her after all. The car ferries her around, not the other way. =)

Giant snake
Recent news on yahoo!
The boa-like behemoth ruled the tropical rainforests of what is now Colombia some 60 million years ago, at a time when the world was far hotter than now, they report in a study released on Wednesday.
The size of the snake's vertebrae suggest the beast weighed some 1.135 tonnes, in a range of 730 kilos (1,600 pounds) to 2.03 tonnes. And it measured 13 metres (42.7 feet) from nose to tail, in a range of 10.64-15 metres (34.6-48.75 feet), they estimate.
"Truly enormous snakes really spark people's imagination, but reality has exceeded the fantasies of Hollywood," said Jonathan Block, a vertebrate palaeontologist at the University of Florida, who co-led the work.
"The snake that tried to eat Jennifer Lopez in the movie 'Anaconda' is not as big as the one we found."
"At its greatest width, the snake would have come up to about your hips," said David Polly, a geologist at the University of Indiana at Bloomington.
The investigators found the remains of the new species at an unlikely location -- at one of the world's biggest open-cast coalmines, in Cerrejon, Colombia, where giant machines had obligingly gnawed away surface layers of dirt.
Working as huge coal-laden trucks thundered by, the team sifted through the earth, laying bare the remains of supersized snakes and their likely prey -- extinct species of crocodiles and giant turtles -- and evidence that a massive rainforest once covered the ground.

CNY's missing toys!
Wanna know why Singapore government banned firecrackers and stuff? Take a look at all these! Really cool rockets and some propel grenades. Then perhaps, you understand why Chinese New Year is more quiet nowadays.
Here's the beautiful sunset and place we tested the rockets. * Mind you, they blow up with quite a loud bang showers of mini fireworks k!
Here's our pretty camera lady with her lethally hazardous wand. It's actually a rocket too.

Here's our pretty camera lady with her lethally hazardous wand. It's actually a rocket too.And so...the 1st video will explain why our wonderful government has banned it!
Misfire!
(rocket did not take off)
2nd Attempt
3rd Attempt
So, now do you get the picture now? If we didn't react fast enough we did be caught by the blast from the failed attempt. All we got is ears that were ringing and eyes flashed!
But dank it was fun to see the rockets propel skywards and explode! One more time!!!
For your info, smuggling them over to Singapore is quite a pricy crime. 5000bucks + jail. If not I would have done it for you!

zoom zoom
Everyone has a certain stage in life. We could way up at the top or right down at the bottom of the roller coaster ride. Life "moves" at different speed for us. Take the photos for example.
Some of us have a life that moves soooooo fast that we can hardly see a thing. We go by each day without a clue about what could have been missed out.
If we chose to slow it down, then would we be able to appreciate the beauty of this world. We zoom by them soooo quickly each day that we missed out alot.
At a certain point, life looks mudane, long and plain. You can't seem to see what's ahead of you, just the long never ending rails.
Well for me, it feels like I'm stuck at a certain point in life. Dangling over the edge of the world should I say? We could take faith and hope off the edge, or choose to stay stuck at that point (on the fence) or we could pick ourselves off the edge and walk away.What say you?

Meritus Mandarin Function
Wednesday 21 Jan 2009, it's a function and a seminar talk with invited guests. One of the few was Mr Adam Khoo, Singapore's self made millionaire. He was there to give his speech and motivational talks.
Before that, here's a view of what's going on.
Hosted on the 35th level of Meritus Mandarin at pine court, the food was catered by the hotel itself and mind you was it good! All the people in black and nicely dressed, I blended perfectly into the crowd.
Look at the guys...so formal...with ties. That's like a job hazard. And I don't think it looks good. IT'S A BORING GUY FORMAL DRESS.
The chandelier is too bright to be seen but anyway the place is seriously posh!
The guy with his back facing us in the pic is Mr Adam Khoo, sitting not far from Visnu, a new friend I got to know at this seminar conference.

Mazda 3 MPS Extreme craze
The Mazda 3 MPS Extreme!
I think i just cannot get enough of this car. This is what a car should look like, inside outside!
The colors that compliment the exterior! and the stylish seats!
And I think no hot hatch has come close to winning a Mazda 3 MPS. Great butt too! Style and ferocity meets a balance. It's powerful too!

1 of the few causes
Do you ever why this world seems so chaotic?
One conclusion could be the fact that the world has different individuals that stand to present only themselves or a fraction.
It could be the mentality they grew up with or the environment that moulds a person.
When we give our word to something, we should learn to honor it. For instance, "I love you forever." Do not use this line if you're not interested in a person or trying to be funny. Perhaps, take out the world forever and it may be valid to a certain point.
Giving our word to another isn't simply having words spoken from our mouth to their ears. It carries the weight of responsibility and honour in it.

Giving our word to another isn't simply having words spoken from our mouth to their ears. It carries the weight of responsibility and honour in it.
So what is honour?
It is the evaluation of a person's trustworthiness and social status based on that individual's espousals and actions. Honour is deemed exactly what determines a person's character: whether or not the person reflects honesty, respect, integrity, or fairness. Accordingly, individuals are assigned worth and stature based on the harmony of their actions, code of honour, and that of the society at large. Honour can be analysed as a relativistic concept, i.e., conflicts between individuals and even cultures arising as a consequence of material circumstance and ambition, rather than fundamental differences in principle.
Alternatively, it can be viewed as nativist — that honour is as real to the human condition as love, and likewise derives from the formative personal bonds that establish one's personal dignity and character.
From the above, we could roughly deduce a handful of reasons why disunity or conflicts happen in our lifes. To keep and honour one's word is as good as a promise given to God from us.
Before you lead and set an example as leaders...UNDERSTAND the meaning of honor.

The Fast And The Furious 4
The 4th of the The Fast And The Furious Series with hot cars, cool guys, babes and tech stuff!And Jordana Brewster looks good in a car too. Just something about the looks of her that seems to go with it!
All in all, gotta say there's something about her that is attractive. Maybe it's just with the sport cars that amplifies? Na...I have no idea. Doesn't matter!Just enjoy the show and the cars!
Paul Walker is back again from The Fast And The Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious for more hot car racing action. A picture of the GTR 34 with Paul Walker.

Lights And Water
Beautiful Place!Just lacking one ......
Look at the lights! The colors!
The backdrop of the structures!
Red jets of water, like lasers, aimed into the sky.
What a crimson fury of sprays!
The ever breathtaking fascade of Singapore's nightsky.
Did you that over 1000 ships call to port at Singapore everyday?
A dark smile?
Check out the twist of the light paths from the top. Don't you love the architechs who designed this?
The refineries and storage tanks out in the open sea.
If I were that good, I did ask for a chance to do a performance with a band in the centre of this place with my audiences encircling us. If the songs don't motivate them, the lights and jets will.
Some experimenting with cameras and patterns of lights.
Here's somemore of it.
The wall of lights!
Electrify yourself with the laser jet?
I decided to join the Jedis and not the dark side...so I got mine green. (light saber)
This is hand power at its best. NO effects. Purely photography. Too bad for the low resolution.
The most beautiful shot of the night. You can never guess what this is. A glowing glass wall with cascading flow of water tinted by purple leds. Gives the eerie feeling.
WHAT IS A BLOG? HOW IS A BLOG SUPPOSED TO BE?
It's all your fault!
It's all yours! If you weren't so stupid, all of these wouldn't have happened!
And don't say anything else! I don't wanna hear!
A typical anguish post on the ever changing blog world. What must a blog be like to be interesting???
1st question: What is a blog for?
If it's for you to rain on your complains or reign on someone's parade, then that's the purpose of it.
2nd: It's boring...?
Well it is if you don't like what the owner likes to post. Maybe the owner's an exaggerating lamenting idiot who thinks the whole world is mean and dying and posts "EMO" posts. If you like those, then suggest you check out other people's links. If you enjoy food reviews, you could check out the food lovers. The ramblers...a typical bunch of people who complain their day's issues online. I personally prefer less personal stuff. You wanna know, you ask me. Period.
3rd: Blog updates please?
People's blogs are a good place for them to post their updates of various means, such as your day's events, upcoming events, new fling or eye candy at office etc.
In fact, you could dump your personal life down into the online diary and have it recorded for life, or until blogspot.com cease to exist or the world wide web gets its data base hit by a stray Israeli missile.
Ok, time out, I have digressed what I have to and must egress this world.

An all new extreme! If only it existed in singapore.
What a pity this 2.3L monster doesn't exist here, or all those BMW, Camries, VW, Audis, WRXs have nothing much left to show off in terms of power. MZR3 is smaller and more nimble too!
Mazda has unveiled a modified version of the high-performance Mazda3 Mazda Performance Series (MPS) at the 2007 Sydney Motorshow.
The Mazda3 MPS Extreme has received engine, suspension and exhaust upgrades that improve the performanceby about 20 % based on the top-selling Sports Pack luxury specification.
The modification includes recalculation to the car’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This helps the standard 2.3-litre DISI turbo engine to produce 210kW (281 hp) at 5300rpm and 425Nm of torque at 4400rpm. The modification was done by Mazda Australia Motorsport Manager, Allan Horsley. Other modifications are a free-flowing two-inch exhaust system and a sports muffler
Meanwhile, the suspension system was redesigned by one of Australia’s best suspension tuners, Murray Coote, and it now sits 25mm lower than the standard model, giving the car a more aggressive, sporty stance, responsive and could make up to the new power boost.
The Mazda3 is fitted with 19-inch BBS Motorsport wheels with Dunlop Sports (225/35ZR19) complete with a MPS monogram on the wheel centerpiece.
As for the braking system, its front disc brakes diameter are 320mm and are ventilated, while the rear brakes diameter are 280mm. The braking system also consist of an 8-9 inch tandem booster, along with a larger master cylinder, four-channel ABS, electronic brake distribution (EBD), and electronic brake assist
Additional safety features of the Mazda3 MPS Extreme are six airbags (dual front, front side and head protecting curtain airbags), a collapsible brake pedal and front and rear passenger seatbelt reminders as well as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with a Traction Control System (TCS).
"The new Mazda will dust the VW GTI and Honda Civic Si -- two of the Speed3's major competitors-in a drag race." -- AutoWeek
"This powerful little hatchback is less of a daily commuter and more of a screaming, raw performance car." -- Detroit News
"There's no doubt that Porsche builds the world's best performance cars that can also serve as daily commuters, like the 911 twin turbo with all-wheel drive. But on the lower end, Mazda leads the pack -- at the racetrack and in suburbia." -- Boston Globe
"It's got the handling, the body style, and a peppy engine. But it won't deliver the thumping bass that is also part of the hot hatchback culture, and the stereo won't easily be upgraded to satisfy music lovers." -- CNET
"This compact wagon has the heart of a giant killer." -- Kansas City Star
"Today, our vehicles must not only be fun to drive, but practical at the same time. While practical doesn't get the headlines, being able to be practical and infuse a high element of fun into the drive does. We think the MAZDASPEED3 achieves its goal." -- AutoMedia.com

Volvo C30
The beautiful Volvo C30. From concept to reality.The sports coupe enjoys a starring role in vampire love story Twilight and the thirst for blood has changed to a thirst for the car as young Americans are clamoring to get their hands on the movie motor.
As he does in the film’s source material, the Stephanie Meyer bestseller, its bloodsucker Edward played by Robert Pattinson who gets behind the wheel of the Swedish sedan. And rather than the customary 10 to 30 seconds of screen time afforded such brand tie-ins, the silver C30 gets a whopping four minutes to shine. It’s an unlikely and amazing platform for Volvo, who due to budgetary limitations can’t maximize on the exposure with advertising, but again fans are happily stepping in, posting videos on YouTube with titles and tag-lines such as The Day Volvo Died and “If you lived forever, what car would you live for?’‘
The top brass at Volvo are suitably thrilled with their big screen exposure as the model had only previously made a handful of TV appearances since its US launch a few years back. John Maloney, the Vice President of Volvo’s marketing and product planning enthused: “We knew that Twilight had a strong following and we were grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of bringing this exciting book series to life."
The Volvo C30 is a small coupe produced by Volvo (part of the Ford Motor Company Group). The C30 is a three-door, four-seat hatchback powered by straight-4 and straight-5 engines. Despite the name, the car is the hatchback version of the S40/V50/C70 range and therefore uses Ford C1 platform.1.6 L 100 hp straight-4
2.0 L 145 hp straight-4
2.4 L 170 hp straight-5
In short...a very pretty car...powerful...fast...sleek...expensive... safe.

Twilight
You gotta watch it, catch it, read it. And don't be an MCP guys...it's a great story.
Twilight
Twilight is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn't have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella's soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.
If you could live forever, what do you live for?
Twilight:
"The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit." I used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because I loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with? A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Then you have Paris and the golden apple in Greek mythology—look how much trouble that started. Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, I love the beautiful simplicity of the picture. To me it says: choice."
New Moon:
"[The flower on the cover] is a ruffled tulip. As for the meaning... If you've read the Twilight FAQ, you know that the apple cover had a lot of meaning for me, and I was an active part of the covering process. However, that experience is more the exception than the rule in the publishing world. Something to keep in mind if you intend to embark on a career as a writer: lots of things you might expect to be under your control are not. Covers, for example. Those are mostly up to the publisher and the marketing and sales departments. So I don't know what the tulip means—I didn't have anything to do with this one."
Eclipse: same as New Moon- Stephanie didn't have a role in the cover.
[There are however, 2 main theories:
1. The ribbon represents Bella tearing apart as she chooses between Jacob and Edward / tries to find which is her true love.
2. The ribbon has to do with how fragile compromises, such as Bella's between Edward and Jacob, are, and shows that compromises cannot always hold the pretty ribbon together.]
Breaking Dawn:
"Breaking Dawn's cover is a metaphor for Bella's progression throughout the entire saga. She began as the weakest (at least physically, when compared to vampires and werewolves) player on the board: the pawn. She ended as the strongest: the queen. In the end, it's Bella that brings about the win for the Cullens."

msia trip and some logic
It's the wonderful thing about trips. You get to see a different world.
Funny thing is that facts of life lies all around you even in shopping centres and you can't escape the world's propaganda! 50% sales! RUSH!!! FREEBIES! RUSH!!! Buy 2 get 1 free! RUSH!!!
The world says you gotta look pretty and good! But there's the thin line between looking presentable and overly wanting something. DON'T FORGET, we're in an economic crisis now and we, the citizen of Singapore, should pledge ourselves to save up for rainy days, regardless of job status, bank savings and sales.
Anyway, I did spend on something too! But this is really a small portion. Haven't found anything I wanna buy. So much for christmas. Santa's probably not gonna reward me coz I haven't been a good boy this year.

Hello old new friend
Funny how the way life goes. You expect things to be this way and the next thing, it goes the other way backwards.
Well, in this case, I found a new, old, friend! And your nickname stays as cookie monster! It ain't gonna change. In fact, I've made more friends recently than I thought. Counting my blessings!
A little history, we were in the same primary school and goodness, sengkang wasn't far from my area too. How could it have taken 12 years plus to bump into you again??? God knows...
And our parents use to chit-chat while waiting for us to end school last time and how my mum love to joke...(wah very pretty!...I would tell her," Mum, you said no girlfriends until 20.")
Her dad, drove an rx-7! My goodness! I knew nutz about cars then. If only I knew, I would have asked for a ride in that sports car!
Thus conclusion, life has a way of paying us back for something missing at times. Just makes you smile at small stuff.

Honda craze!
Ever wonder why some people are so crazy over Honda and their civics?
After getting behind the wheel of a Honda Civic VTI-S, I soon gain the knowledge and love for VTEC engines. Capable of a higher revs than the normal allows Normal Aspirated cars ( NO TURBO NO SUPERCHARGER) to have more horses.
Just depress the pedal until you feel a resistance then push it further down. Once 3.5K rpm is attained, the VTEC changes cams and the meters shoots up to 6.5K+, as if it were in free gear. 1 word, freaking fast for a stock 7 years old civic. Imagine a type r...throw in a K20A engine...2.0L...

Some bible verses!
"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
John 16:21 NASB
We can never understand how some women could put themselves throught to bear another child after one. Perhaps this verse will explain it to all the ignorance male bulls and females who don't want to give birth.
"Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."
2 Corinthians 9:6 NASB
When you sow a seed, you will get a tree and many fruits! Not just one. Inside one fruit, has many seeds! And that how God gives you the blessings to bless others through one "seed". And this is how God works.
In the same way, faith by itself is dead if it doesn't cause you to do any good things.
James 2:17 GWT
Faith without action isn't gonna get you anywhere. God can't help you if you don't trust in Him to let Him guide you. Giants don't just get knocked out by stones slung by slings. Faith is one of the most important thing we need in our lives each day. What would it be like without faith?
Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago.
Isaiah 43:18 GWT
Some of us slayers wrestle not just with Giants that we can't slay. Some are bigger than giants...We face Dragons that spit fire from their mouth and noses with skin as tough as kevlar or reinforced steel. Using the standard approach is gonna get us cooked in our lovely shiny armour!

Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red.
Remove the outside, cook the inside, eat the outside, throw away the inside.
What goes around the world and stays in a corner?
Stay tune for the answers on the next post!
What goes up and down stairs without moving?
Give it food and it will live; give it water and it will die.

Quote of miss koh
"The length of the shadow casted on the present and the future can be controlled. Whether you want it short or long. It's up to you." ~Miss Koh
"Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge." - Winston Churchill
I like this quote by Winston Churchhill.
For those of you who don't know this great man, read the following below this statement.
A little background on Churchill.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politician known chiefly for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a Nobel Prize-winning writer, and an artist.
During his army career, Churchill saw combat in India, in the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame and notoriety as a war correspondent and through contemporary books he wrote describing the campaigns. He also served briefly in the British Army on the Western Front in World War I, commanding the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers.
