Baby Come Back

I don't know since when did I developed the interest, the tendency, the strong affinity to scan my surroundings for some hot moms and then spend all my time looking at them, admiring their beauty and sexiness.. LoL!! No, I'm not kidding. Not all moms out there are stereotypes that age like milk and goes saggy after their first child. Some age like wine; the older they get, the sweeter & hotter they look. Mwahahah!! I saw somebody's mom at a restaurant just now while I was having dinner with my parents, 2 sons & still looking pretty solid. Gahahaha.. Okay, okay. I'm not going into the details or else my readers will be disgusted into vomiting all that they had for dinner, or maybe even yesterday's lunch.

My dad's new car was delivered about 2 weeks ago, it's only today that I've finally got the chance to be chauffeured around in his new car. Hahaha.. Yeah, to the dinner. Anyway, the ride was pretty good. Smooth & silent. Very little engine noises, the seats are comfortable. I'm not really a fan of Toyota cars but I'll agree that the Innova is a decent family car. The design of the exterior sucks but the interior is pretty well garnished. I still don't understand why my dad needed such a big car when there are only three of us in the family. And since most of the time I'll be driving on my own, he could have gotten himself a much more comfortable and better looking/handling sedan such as the Camry or Accord. Well, the decision has been made and there's no turning back though. So, let's just say that you have a family of 5, and you want a affordable MPV-sized car for space, you should consider an Innova. Don't be fooled by the brochure details; it was printed on the specifications table that the seating capacity for the Innova is 8, but the leg room at the third row is untolerable. If you're well over 5 feet 4 inches, then you must never climb to the last row. It's a painful experience and a chore to get in and out of the rear seats. Okay, I admit I'm quite big-sized (please don't say I'm fat although that's exactly the fact T_T), but at 5'10, anyone's knees will be brushing against the back of the second row seats, not only mine. This is due to the ladder frame chasis used in pickup trucks as well as SUVs, which is the same used in the two other Toyota IMV models, the Fortuner & Hilux.

Alright, enough about cars. Let's move on to car audio now. Hahahah. Damn... I simply can't get enough from the existing sound system in my car. I was experimenting, playing around with the amplifier in my car when I saw a rather suspicious switch at the side of the amplifier. I knew about the switch, but I didn't really fully exploit it's function till just now. And mind you that I had my new speakers & subwoofer installed at the trunk, so the results of messing with the switch might be significantly different from my previous try. One moment I was looking at the switch, then my itchy fingers crawled to the switch & turned the lever from HPD to FULL. The next thing I realise, I was sitting at the rear seats, feeling the orgasm from being massaged by all the bass. Hahah. There were a few problems though; the amplifier gets heated up real quick under FULL mode, and the sound of the rear plastic door panels vibrating & brushing against the metal frame due to the absurd amount of bass from the side speakers is bothering me. Just testing as I'll be replacing the current 2 channel Mohawk power amplifier with a 4 channel tomorrow. I might be removing the speakers at the doors, or simply set up a layer of foam on each door to reduce road noise and at the same time remove the irritating plastic-knocking sound, although the latter look more interesting to me. Also, I might be removing the subwoofer under the front passenger seat. The bass from the new subwoofer in the trunk is sufficient, so shedding some weight by removing the under-seat subwoofer sounds good. I might replace the Sony speakers at the rear; yes I know they are new but I'm replacing it with Mohawk's 6x9 inch speakers for better sound. Generally, I'll be replacing all of the speakers in my car with Mohawk's speakers, and maybe add another 2 speakers to the front doors.

Oh right, and thanks to Ariff, I've been taught how to write my name in Jawi!! LoL.
چيو مين زين
Interesting, eh? Haha.. It's good to learn something new once in a while.. Thanks Ariff!! Teach me more & in return I'll teach you how to swear in Cantonese & Hokkien!! Hahahaha..

Alright, it's late and I should get some sleep. Plenty of things to be done by tomorrow. Something secretive and boombastic is being planned here, so let's not spoil the fun. Baby Come Back by Player is a song from the 70s which never gets old. Haha. It is a nice song, one of the masterpieces of the 70s. Enjoy.

Ohh ohh.. Another day went by just like that.. I wanted to make this post interesting. Since I don't actually have anything much to blog about for tonight, I uploaded a short trailer-like video of Russell Peters' Red, White & Brown. Just to share some humour with ya'll. Have a nice Saturday night!

Heh.. Here's Yui with My Generation.

Next To You

I spent almost the entire day outside, surviving with only RM 5 in my wallet today. LoL. Anyway, added another subwoofer to my car yesterday. Hahahahah. No, this time, a proper subwoofer. But I'm not really on a same mission as those lala zhais at Sungei Wang that blasts their music and bass on their subwoofers to tear down buildings, so loud that you can actually still feel the bass a kilometre away from their cars. Nope, I prefer to have high-quality tunes churning out of my speakers, so a sufficient amount of bass and treble is preferable, but not too much.


Tucked away at the right side of the boot.

Close up.

Saves space and produces enough bass to NOT be irritating.

Ya' know, some of the audiophiles like me that work on the audio system in their cars.. I don't know what are their demands. I'm wondering, if they're trying to convert the whole car into a gigantic mobile subwoofer or something, then why don't just do it, literally? Install subwoofers in place of your headlights!! On the roof!! LoL.

Alright, going out yumcha now.. Here's the song I used to test my new subwoofer.. Haha.

Kiss

There was something that I wanted to add to the sound system in my car, and I did it today. Nothing much actually, just another 2 additional speakers to my existing 4-speaker, making it a 6-way audio system with a 2-way amplifier. Had it done in the afternoon, and this is what it looks like:

New speakers on the rear 'deck'.

Sony.

Well.. Sound & music enthusiasts like me would go crazy for upgrades like this to make sure that we get the best out of our audio systems. Our ears itch for the best tunes and any alienic noise heard is untolerable. LoL.

I've been spending my holiday doing nothing but watching the previous, 'expired' seasons of CSi: Miami. One of the episodes from season 4 is the best I've ever watched to date. It's a crossover; Detective Mac Taylor from CSi: N.Y. flew in to join the CSi team in Miami to track down a convicted murderer that escaped a plane crash. Having two of your idols on an episode of your favourite TV show will never get better than this.


Alright, time for me to finish the entire season 4 of the TV show. Ciaoz.

Kiss - Prince.

Savin' Me

Slept at 6 A.M., woke up at 11 A.M. to attend to Tzu Woei's call, and then back to sleep till' 2:45 P.M.. Watched CSi: Miami season 4 & 5, just to refresh myself of all the episodes that I've missed. Hmm.. Anyway, I should be sleeping early tonight as I'll be running an errand for my aunt tomorrow; to claim a uncollected parcel sent to her by my cousin. I'll have to go to the post office at Taman Shamelin Perkasa. I know the place, but I have no idea of the location of the post office!! Sigh..

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you

All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right

Smooth

Does this look emo to ya'll? Yeah, you'd probably be thinking, "Since when in mankind's history that a packet of Chacos goes together with beer??". To be honest, it does taste kinda good. Haha. Those who doesn't know my history of drinking beer, brace yourselves; I am a big fan of Heineken. Heh.. Was feeling down last night, so I drove out to the nearest 7-11, bought a few cans of Heineken and a packet of Chacos, headed home, sat in front of my PC & finished the first can in one big gulp. 2 o'clock in the morning. Sigh..

Had a rather nice sleep after that, but woke up with a big headache. LoL. Who cares... As long as I get my peaceful sleep, anything goes..

My Dear Friend

Just came back from a night drive to Genting. LoL. I can't find anyone to yumcha with me, so I've decided to drive all the way to Genting. You know, Genting + Singaporean school holidays + Malaysian school holidays = lots of cute & pretty girls. Hahahah. Well at least that was what I expect, but there were more in the store for me. This:

Yes, the unmistakable sleek curves around the car; that's an all-new Nissan GTR.

My dream car? Maybe. But at over RM 700k each? Err..

The familiar double round brake lights from the previous Skyline models; an initial to all GTRs.

A Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, sexy.


But there is a car that stood out among them, and that is the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Rare, indeed. How it differ from the common Gallardos is usually unseen to the untrained eyes. Erm, you don't actually need to train your eyes to see that there is a seperate unique set of bodykit for the LP560-4, and the engine is a massive 5.2 litres 560 PS powerhouse that'll kick any supercars' asses, including it's bigger & more powerful sibling, the Murcielago LP 640.

The front-end of the LP560-4, with the Revénton-based front bumper.

LP 560-4.

Quad-tailpipes and a transparent cover for the engine compartment at the back.


All the supercars bears Singaporean registration plates. Of course, just how often do you see a fast car bearing Malaysian plate? Looking at those cars, I felt the need to work my ass off to get myself one of them. We live our life only once, so why not make the best out of it? The owners of these supercars are most probably gambling in the casino, high stakes. I've seen the GTR around twice already, this being the third time.

Then I went on a ride around Genting, with the thick mist & cold air around me it actually feels good. Went to the temple for a few pictures before heading back..

First World Lobby.

Random~

The view from the sidewalk at the temple.

Hmm.. This picture gives me the gloom.. Not sure why..

Mini pagoda.


Emo's hideout.

Wet & misty..

WRG, as emo as it's master..

Let's get back downhill, shall we...?

The Language Of Sound

I went somewhere today, but I'm not gonna tell where. Mwahahah.. Of course, something happen everyday, and today is no exception. Hmm.. Let's see.. I saw this hot gal in Speedy Videos today, snapped a few photos of her. Am I stalking? Well.. No. I'm not stalking and am definitely not a stalker. Snapping photos of pretty girls with my phone & keeping them is just one of the few methods of me appreciating God's beautiful creation.


Her hot body in that sexy outfit... DAMN!! LoLz.. Too bad can't get a shot of her face.. This is what I call perfection..

Arghh... Look at the camera babe.. You're so so sweet~~


Okay, I admit that I'm not a good photographer coz' I take pictures at all the wrong time & wrong angles. I wonder how those paparazzis snap them, coz' it's hard as hell to snap a photo without a person realising!!

And then I found myself standing there, mesmerized by her beauty. Ya'll should know how it feels like to see someone of the oppposite sex that matches your personal preferences. I stood there as if I'm completely paralyzed, gawking at her with my jaw dropped. My wild imaginations gone berserk~ Guys should know what ya'll would be having in your mind when you're coming across hot girls like this one. xD Yeah, that's exactly what you're thinking. Erm, of course, unless you're gay it might be different. I'm a total jerk, eh? Heh..

Oh, right.. While I observed this girl, I was holding an album in my hands as well. Pretending to look at the album while spying on her. LoL. Then.. She walked out of the store, and as I was enshrouded in a mist of disappointment, I looked back at the album & realised that it's the latest release by Enigma. Hahah. I wanted her to hang around a little longer so that I can remember and find all the small little important details about her.. Sigh.. Anyway, I already have this new album from Enigma, titled Seven Lives Many Faces in my PC. I reached home and found myself listening to it. Enigma's fan, yes I am.. Their songs are unique, there's not a single album from Enigma's discography that is identical to another in terms of theme & style, except the intro tracks (first track of the album), there's a distinctive tone played using some instruments unknown to me. Fans are fond of this; it's Enigma's special signature.

Bring It On

I didn't know that a visit to the body-workshop could transform my hot hatch into a speed demon. LoL. Nah not really, just made the car look wilder. The dents are fixed, the doors resprayed and the scratches are gone too. Oh, talking about scratches... My car got scratched by some ignorant bastard again, at the Sri Rampai pasar malam again, and at the same parking spot again, and fortunately, at the same side of the car which I resprayed today. Thank God? Not really. Well, when I said someone scratched my car, I meant SOMEONE. It's not by accident coz obviously there were two number 7s on the B-pillar. And the person that resprayed my doors, he didn't actually fix that. Instead, a long tape was placed below the windows and stretched to the back of the car. He left that portion out, and when everything was done I was kinda suprised to see that the scratches are still there.

So what I did? Well.. Those scratches just made my car look better. I went to an accesory shop at Sri Rampai to get black stickers to cover the scratches. And then I was tempted to replace the visors on all the doors of my car as the original ones were simply too thin and useless; they can't shade the interior of the car from direct sunlight, and they can't prevent water from entering the car if windows are opened while raining. So I shopped for a set of Passo door visors, and everything including the black stickers and workmanship costed RM 120. Some pictures below to show you what happened to my car.. If you can't find the difference, look back at the previous posts for photos of my car before all the mad upgrades & modifications.

Front, side view.

Side view.


Further away from my car..

Now, this is rather contradictive of what I once vowed; I told myself that I'll never put something Passo-ish in or on my car because they are too common, too many Myvis on the road have Passo parts strapped onto them. Yet I've installed a set of Passo visors.. What the hell is wrong with me? LoL.

I've got some rather devilish plans for my car; something to do with the existing sound system.. Mwahahah.. I'll keep you guys updated with it.. xD

Gueri De Toi

Finally, the exams are over. Am I happy? Ermm... Not actually. There are so many things that I'm worried about, the first being my results. They are gonna suck for sure.

College started 1 & 1/2 year ago, and ended today. I've been through a lot in this short period of time (Is 1 & 1/2 year considered short? I don't know..); making new friends, losing some, get in & out of a relationship, seeing the true colour of some of my friends.. I don't even know where to begin this; there are simply too many things in my mind that I want to talk about. Hmm.. I shall start with the college first..

Now, TARC isn't as bad as most of you would think. Maybe not my course. There are pros and cons of studying there. Most of the lecturers there are old & experienced, although I won't say ALL. There are still some that couldn't teach though. Hmm.. Food & drinks in the canteens are cheap, at least cheaper compared to most restaurants and hawker stalls out there. Well... I can't seem to be able to put this one into a category. Which one should it be, pro or con?; too many breathtaking pretty girls in the college that may distract you from anything that you're doing. Haha..

Moving on to the 'making friends' portion of the story.. Uhh.. Many friends from all over the country, mainly from Johor, Ipoh & Pahang. Some of them are very nice, while some others might just turn their backs on you unexpectedly. Ahh, it doesn't matter though. I took a nice long stare at each & every one of them this morning before going into the examination hall, just so that I can register their faces in my brain & won't forget them just like that. Who knows when I'll leave everything behind & move on to the afterlife... o.O See ya'll when I see ya'll, if I see ya'll..

Lecturers!! Many many thanks for teaching me everything that I needed to know. Although I might be a little ignorant in class, but I still appreciate the effort by ya'll to make sure I understand the simplest of things.. See ya'll when I see ya'll, if I see ya'll..

The path ahead of me is foggy & blurry. I can't actually see where I'm going. If I do end up in a ditch, nobody will be there to pull me out of it. Cos' I have no one that truly know me inside out.

Sayonara TARC, sayonara to anyone and any new friends that I've made. I've been mischievious through those semesters, and if I've accidentally hurt your feelings with my excessive profanities, self-express or sarcasm (I know I'm a sarcastic jackass =.=) or by my wrongdoings, I apologise from the bottom of my heart.

I figured that a sad song by Sarah Brightman, namely Gueri De Toi could help express my feelings. There is an English version of this song, but the lyrics might offend someone that I know. Go search for the English version yourself if you're overly obsessed to find out who that someone might be. Let me resume my 'eat alone every night' life...

Travelling

Damn the tiredness. Just came back from a visit to my aunt's place. Weird, but I'm not actually looking forward to blog for today. Hmm.. Short post, then I'm going to revise a little more before going to sleep.

Just downloaded Russell Peters' latest show, Red, White & Brown. Gonna watch it later, maybe after the last paper tomorrow. To all Russell Peters fans out there, please download this one!! Watched the preview of it & I personally think that he's a good stand-up comedian. All new jokes, no repeats from the past shows.

I'm Yours

Finally, my dad's new car has arrived. And the number plate is freaking hot too. Hahaha. Anyway, his car is one of the few firsts to roll out of the JPJ and onto the road bearing the WS- number plate. Yep. WSA xxxx. Can't reveal his car plate, obviously coz it's not my car. As usual, I love to take pictures of anything new. Most importantly, HE'S NOT GONNA DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE!! HAHAH!!

Dashboard from driver seat. A CD player with radio, a standard in all cars nowadays. Not bad.

Steering wheel with a big Toyota emblem.

From the second row.

Different angle.

Hot big butt. =D

The front. Erm, it looked a lil' like Myvi or Avanza, don't ya'll think so? Maybe because they are blood related, with the Myvi being actually a Passo. =)

Ready to roll!! =)

Now, the car keys are quite nice, with all the gadgets that I haven't seen before. Or am I left behind in the world of technology? Hmm..

Key and a remote. See that small little stick there? That's the immobilizer. I was so interested in how it works and I actually made the alarm go mad for a few times, just to test it. And oh, those keys are for me. Mwahahahah!! The word 'Cobra' is printed on the immobilizer. Cobra Alarms huh? Good stuff. =)

I have something for fellow Maplers out there. I have many friends playing Maple, but I quitted it after a while because it's so boring. There's really nothing interesting about the game except the cuteness than can seduce a 70-year-old grandma into playing it. Well, it doesn't really matter whether you're a Mapler or not, just watch it for laughs.



Hahahah.. Whoever made this is sure brilliant & creative.. =)

Biology was okay, although the questions in Paper 5 are a little deceiving. I had more than enough time to solve all of the questions. I really think that we were given too much time for Paper 5, although 1 hour and 15 minutes is considered quite short. The questions were short and completing the whole paper in less than 20 minutes is achievable even for someone that didn't really study, like me. LoL. Chemistry Paper 1 tomorrow, which means I'd be able to rest properly tonight. Two more papers to go, and then it's FREEDOM!!

Jason Mraz, with I'm Yours. I wanted to upload this for ages, but I kept on forgetting about it. Not today, though. Good night.

Teardrop

What a day it was for me. It's never-ending, and that most likely won't change for quite some time. Readers that live somewhere around Jalan Genting Klang or Ayer Panas should know what it's like to move in and out of the area. With irresponsible drivers doing double parkings and stuffs like that, it's as if they weren't worried that their vehicles may be damaged by other cars. There are shitloads of dumb stuffs that most Malaysian drivers do, but let's just cut it short. It'll be a long, long post today and I don't wanna bore my readers with some grandmother stories on how good some Malaysian drivers are at doing double or even triple parking.

I drove my mom to her office today, and was leaving the building where I turned into a lane, and there was a dump truck in front of me. It's a single lane, a very narrow road. The dump truck doesn't seem to be leaving that road in any time soon, so the sanitation workers (is that what you call a bunch of Bangladeshis working with thrash and a dump truck? I forgot the term, but nevermind), with their body languages (eww..) detoured me, turning right into an alley. The one-lane road is already narrow enough, an alley between the shophouses is even more constricted. The width of the lane is about the same as the width of a mid-sized MPV, so it should be accesible to small cars like mine. Even the dump trucks uses these lanes to clear rubbishes from the shops. And that means I shouldn't have any problems driving there. Well... Maybe not. The alley is already narrow enough, and there are plenty of cars & vans parking at the side of it. See how skilled Malaysian drivers are? I'm starting to believe in what I was once told; if you can drive in Malaysia, you can drive anywhere else in the world. I still managed to squeeze through & drive past the cars with one side of my car millimetres away from the drain. And then, I came to an end of the alley where I will have to turn left. Good Lord, there's a Proton Saga parked at the side of the junction. It was basically a half lane road turning into another half lane path. How the fuck am I supposed to turn?? I had no choice and couldn't reverse as there was a van trailling behind me, so I had to give it a try. I tried to turn in as gently & slowly as possible, and it seemed to be working. From the side mirror, I saw how close was the Saga to my car. I had to concentrate at my side of the car as there's a deep drain, and I don't wanna end up in it. I turned my steering wheel a little more, and that's where it all went wrong. I heard a crack from the back, and on that very moment I knew I hit the Saga. Somehow I managed to turn into the junction as the van behind me reversed a little, and then I saw the damages done to the Saga. THE WHOLE BUMPER WAS RIPPED OFF & CRACKED!! I drove out of the alley into the main road and stopped at the side to check my car. Some long thin dents on my doors and paint from the Saga. At that very moment, I felt like smashing the windscreen of that ignorant's Saga, but I held myself back & thought that the damages done to his car should be enough to compensate my anger. He has got a broken bumper, ripped off & shattered at the corners. Replacing the whole bumper is a must since it was shattered & the brackets were broken. He also had a broken headlight, and with my so-called experience of working with bumpers and headlights, they'll cost about RM 400-500 to fix. Serves you right, mofo. Hopefully he'll be crying his ass off over his new Saga for his own stupidity to park in an already tight alley.

I went back to my car and saw some paint that chipped off that Saga was sticking to the dents on my doors. I always keep a can of WD-40 spray in my car, and that shit is marvelous. Took it out of my boot, sprayed it on the paint residues and wiped them away. Voila! There wasn't a single scratch on my car, and that magical WD-40 removed all of the dirt & paint that were stuck to the dents. WD-40 is a reliable multipurpose lubricant that can also serve as a cleaner. More like the Zippo. Chan knew a workshop, the same place where he fixed his door after an accident a few months ago, and recommended that I should send my car there. He looked at the dents and told me that it won't cost more than RM 50 as they were pretty small compared to his. And I did saw his car after the accident; a big portion, (I mean it, it's the size of a capati plate), and he fixed it for RM 50. Maybe I'll pay a visit to the workshop soon, after my exams. As ya'll know, I'm fussy about my car, so fixing it is a must.

Nevermind about what happened. I called Brian up just to yum cha, but after the brunch session we ended up at Bukit Tinggi Resorts instead. Just for fun, since I haven't visited the resorts for quite some time already. Then here's the laugh of the day; Brian was sitting at the passenger seat next to me & we we're at the entrance to Colmar Tropicale / Japanese Garden and we'll have to pay the admission fees. I was expecting it to be around RM 20 for 2, but I was wrong. It was only RM 18. Why? Because the girl at the booth thought that Brian is under 12 years old, children category!! Hahahah.. So it was RM 10 for me, RM 8 for him. Baby-faced lucky bastard.. LoL. And of course I took some pictures..

The tickets. Why is his ticket cheaper?? Because he can't GROW UP!!

View of the entrance from the inside of the resort.

Another view from a different angle.

Swans!! The symbol of love & fidelity.. =)

Bad angle, can't really see the black swans..

The lorry spoiled the view. =(

A better way to present the white swans. =)

A view from the tower. Very nice. Very... Frenchy. LoL.

Swimming pool for guests.

Taking a rest at the poolside with a 12-year-old-looking kid. Did I just made myself sound like a freaking pedophile?? Oh my God..

We then left Colmar Tropicale to the Japanese Garden. Although the admission fee was quite a rip off, I have to admit that Berjaya Holdings had made some major improvements on the resorts. There are new hotels now, which means more rooms for tourists coming from all over the world. Heck, I even assisted a Korean family that spoke the slightest of English to take pictures. I remembered the last time I visited the resorts during the peak season, which was about three to four years ago and there were no vacancy for two weeks, and you can expect that I was pretty disappointed.

Below are some pictures of the Japanese Garden.

Random~

Japanese carps!! I love fish.. =) Err, not as in eating them.. LoL.

One of the camera spots..

A fake waterfall. Noooo... I'm not letting you guys down, but it is really genuinely fake!!

Poser.

The entrance is a little too small, isn't it?

Makes a good picture to end the 'slideshow' for today. =)


Am I finished yet? No, I'm not done yet. There are still plenty of things for me to crap about, that's if you guys don't mind. Heck, why would I bother even if you guys mind?? It's my blog for God's sake!! LoL.

Now, you guys might remember the blisters I get on my left foot from the extensive walking I had about a week ago. Exactly a week ago. The good news is, it doesn't hurt anymore and the dead epithelials are falling off by themselves. Sounds too biological to you? The bad news is, the new skin which is supposed to form in place of the torn skin, is HARD!! It doesn't hurt at all when I walk, but whenever I pressed on the wound (or the new skin), it feels like I'm stepping on a plastic that chipped off the food container. And then there's a space between the outer layer of the skin & tissue underneath, a space that is completely void of anything except air. Poking the hard skin produces cracking sounds, which is kinda scary. LoL. I'm only hoping that it will heal as soon as possible, and then no more cracking while walking.

It's getting tricky here. Hahaha. Alright... Janice!! Ahh don't pretend, I know you're reading this. LoL. You might even be wondering why am I talking about you in this post, but that, I will explain later. You know... I'm happy for you, at least your life is heading towards the bright side (Erm.. I don't know about others but I do know your love life is. xD). Why did I said that? Why are those words coming from me? I don't know.. I just felt the urge to do so. So here it is. YOU!! I know you're in your little dilemma of whether you should confess to that *Ivan or not. Well, honestly, I think you should. I know, just who am I to decide for you? But that's just my two cents, my humble opinion. Finding someone that you like is as easy as counting 1-2-3 or saying A-B-C, but stumbling upon the one you really love happens once in a blue moon. Do not let the fear of rejection or whatsoever infiltrate you. Anyway, I'll still support you no matter what decision you're making. All the best. =)

I do notice that there're just a few more days left before college is finally over. We might not see each other again, but if I do bump into you, it's impossible I'll pass by without saying a hi. This might be awkward for you to hear, for me to say, but I'd like to thank you for what we've been through. True, a year has passed, and most probably I shouldn't be bringing them old memories up again. Yet, I appreciate all the time you had spent with me over the short period of our relationship, and I feel I should somehow show you my gratefulness. Those moments might be a waste of time to you, but they are what I cherish most. I know I will never be able to find someone to replace you, as you're exceptionally special in your own way. Uhh.. Well, everyone is unique in their own ways.. There are no two individuals alike, right? Hmm.. I think you still owe me a drink at Starbucks for the phone repair, if I'm still sane enough to remember. Haha.. Just kidding. So this post and the song for today is dedicated to you.. Erm.. Maybe not the whole post.. Part of the post? Heh.. I think that's about it.. Tremendous luck for the last few AS & A2 papers and all the undertakings in your life. See you when I see you, if I see you.

How to make a post that is already long even longer? Well... Include the lyrics!! Haha.. Teardrop by Anthony Wong. Yeah, it's the cover version of the original by Massive Attack. Yep, the soundtrack for House M.D., if ya'll may recall.

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

You're stumbling in the dark..
You're stumbling in the dark...
You're stumbling in the dark....
You're stumbling in the dark.....

Good day, mates.
