I'm such a blur guy...

At the grand old age of 23, I think my memory is failing me! I've been forgetting like the most basic stuff. For example, I keep forgetting to zip up my pants after I use the toilet..it ALWAYS happens nowadays, its not that I want to cause my female friends to sin in their thoughts..LOL...but yeah..I gotta start remembering that.

I forgot that day that my car pumps petrol on the left side...which means I have to stop on the right of the petrol pump..that day i forgot and i stopped on e left of the petrol pump. AND to my horror, as i pulled the pump out..it couldn't reach..so i had to reverse my car and park it nearer........the horror.....petrol station attendant gave me a stupid face.....

I always forget the names of my friends' gfs!! I go like "HI, how are you.." and they go like.."I'm good chris!! how are u!!" and I'm like..damn...what is her name....

ANYWAYS....sidetracking abit....

I've been talking to this friend on skype, she's doing her PHD in Material Sciences and Engineering....which to my understanding, her research involves the manupilation of nanos to find various ways to save energy....

Talking to her..i always feel slightly stupid..lol..

Anyway, she always jokingly calls me an MCP...

GUYS...I'M NOT RIGHT!!! VOUCH FOR ME~!!!

A view from behind

The owners...

My White Del Sol CRX 1994...behind it is my friend's 1988 CRX, with engine conversion, Perth's fastest CRX

I want to dance like no one is watching

I want to work like I never needed the money

I want to live life like I'm invincible

I want to fly like the sky is limitless

I want to feel, like I was blind

I want to LOVE.....like my heart has never been broken before...

Finally..

1) Finally, I got my car back from the repair shop. Good as new...

2) Finally, my cravings are dying down, cause everytime I get a craving, I whisper a short prayer..

3)Finally, I got my news article done, 2 days before its due..

4) Finally, its stopped raining for awhile..

5) Finally, my clothes dried..

6) Finally, I'm in my 3rd year..

7) Finally, I'm feeling slightly better

8) Finally, Faith is going to do worship.

P.S Thanx so much Jamie for making that honey water thingie, I feel so much better.Thanx Pau Ting (Mommy) for bringing me porridge when I was sick and had no car. THANX everyone who has kept me in prayer.

Pls God, help me to rediscover my focus this semester. Lost so much drive and passion and I'm desperately trying to find motivation to do anything. Always distracted with all the small and unimportant issues when I should be concentrating and looking at the bigger picture.

Life is always going up and down, I wish it would be abit more consistent. Well, thats probably cause I'm not strong enough, its too ez to shake my faith when life goes downhill. Same old story..same old story...

I need to suppress my cynical side..

The cynicism that was imbued in me as I grew up, because we live in an imperfect world.

If I concentrate, I'm 16 for a moment, and I'm happy, no worries, I'm relaxed and uninhibited. But I'm no longer 16 and it always hits me in the head, to leave my stupid habits behind. Really pisses me off that I'm still struggling with smoking..
quit..quit..quit..sometimes in my room just feel like hitting my head against the wall.

I'm so typically Singaporean..concerned with all the material things, trying to draw meaning out of them..but I can't..because there isn't any meaning in them. No meaning in my computer...no meaning in my illusions of granduer and no meaning in my stupid car...

Something is missing..something is missing...

And its something that no amount of money in the world can buy...

Jehovah Jireh..my provider..I need your grace to make this life suffice...

I'M SUPER BLUR LA

Today's class was at 11.30am, dunno why for some reason, I confused tues with monday and ended up going at like 10am. So ended up paying visitor parking for no reason..hiaz..to make things worse I had to spend one and a half hrs in school doing nothing..

Lucky I had some stuff to do..managed to call up speedworks for my journalism article and managed to photocopy some notes for my tute..

Met Kelvin, from Zion, the Choir guy...the one who is my age but looks very old. Met him in CBS and we had a quick chat about army days..lol..

WHAT DOES VTEC MEAN?

Probably almost everybody has heard what VTEC is...everyone knows its found in HONDAS. I'll explain what it stands for and how it works..

VTEC STANDS FOR = Variable-valve Timing and Electronic lift Control

How VTEC works....

In every cylinder within the engine, there are intake and exhaust valves. In a normal car, when you rev it to lets say about 6000rpm, the engine runs out of breath because the intake valves cannot take in enough air cause they open and close too fast, thats why reving a car to 7000rpm instead of 6000rpm often makes no difference, because the fuel cannot combust without oxygen.

In HONDAS, the intake and exhaust valves open wider as you rev the car higher..so lets say when you rev it to 6000rpm, the valves actually open to let in more air and fuel in and the exhaust valves open wider to pump out more fumes, thats why HONDAS can rev much higher than normal cars. As such they deliever alot more power than a normal engine of the same size. Some HONDAS rev to 9000rpm.

This manupilation of the valves are actually run by the camshafts, TYPE-R Hondas often have a high compression rate and special cams to ensure the timing of the intake and exhaust valves don't go wrong..

WHY PEOPLE BUY HONDAS

HONDAS deliever more power, without being totally insensible in terms of fuel consumption, in everyday driving, you won't be driving like schumacher. Thats why you can drive around normally in low REVS to conserve petrol, but if you push the REVS high, you get a reasonable amount of power. Its the best of both worlds. Turbo cars are often unable to be this efficient and will burn a hole in your wallet cause of fuel consumption..

Hope this post wasn't too boring

THE ARMY DAZE...

I have a picture of my platoon with me in Perth and after checking here and there, I know they're all getting along well in life now..which is good..Although army is something I dread, I actually have some fond memories of my time serving, although it seems so long ago now.

High Points...

- Passing out parade from BMT, I was offically a PRIVATE, feels super long ago now..about four years...

-Becoming a scout/recce, because it meant something different from just running up and down a hill. We rarely fire blanks..so our rifle very clean.

-Sitting around one night in the jungle during ATEC (final exercise), knowing that our time was finally drawing to a close..

-Getting through brunei, one of the most physically demanding exercises were there, cramp and heat exhaustion sets in quickly...

LOW POINTS

-Getting my face slammed into the floor during POW training, causing me to bite my lip, and the drowning feeling when I got dunked was hardly
enjoyable..

-Getting kicked in my ribs by my platoon commander when i was a trainee in SISPEC ( for you malaysians, its where u become a sergeant)

-Knowing smoking ruined my fitness..

-Countless times i got cramp during missions..leg cramp..not those kind of cramps

-Leaving my men behind when i left the army, wish everyone could have left together.

Cell steamboat...very filling...very rewarding..(absent: faith n ning)
