time flies.. end of 2003.. end of all the bad things 2003 had brought along..
and somehow, it makes me telling myself that i'm really growing up..
been to ecp newly renovated "food resort" last week.. its nice.. :)
so much better then the past.. but only 3-4 stalls are open early,
as the official opening date is xmas day.. there are lights on the ground..
i always have a liking for lights on the ground.. its simply beautiful..
it create such an atmosphere.. juz like labrador park.. :)

went to ecp again to mod my skyline.. fx mod his alfa motor,
changed 3 motors but still can't win my stock skyline.. lolz..
in the end, his alfa had to be taken back to the workshop for
"further inspection"..

around 1am, we decided to leave and he asked to drive my GTti..
auto cars really make drivers forgot what a clutch is.. keke..
well, think i should not comment anything.. ;)

feeling really down now.. .. .. alot of grumble to make.. ;P
i have no one to turn to.. except pouring out to mr blog..
today is sunday.. supposed to be a happy day.. but the sky keep raining!
im down with cold.. real terrible cold where my nose juz drip nonstop..
sneezing nonstop.. i always feel sick at the end of the year..
when the weather turn cold.. and there's no cure to my sensitive nose..
really sick and tired to hear my mum and grandma nagging away..
asking me to put on more clothes.. its didn't help.. they juz don't get it..
the only way for me to get well is to take medicine and sleep..
but i'd run out of medicine.. one day i gonna ask a nurse friend of mine
to steal a bundle of it from the hospital.. hiakz..
i'm not feeling cold.. its my silly nose that feel cold.. damn it..

i was going out with my friend to play my skyline..
but realised that my elder bro had drove out my GTti..
and his Toyota DX is low in petrol.. im already mad with my younger bro
few days ago for driving my car dry after i juz top up.. im pretty poor now..
i used to have min 500 bucks in my bank.. that's the limit mum
set for me as bank started to deduct $2 every month if my account
went below that amount.. now, it had went far below..

actually i really don't like them to drive my car..
they don't know how to take care of it.. i always have to
tidy up or wash the car myself.. but i've nothing to say.. its dad's
car afterall.. GTti was only assigned to me..

im waiting for my first salary.. but all of it gonna go dwn to
my car insurance, seasonal parking and road tax.. thats amount

Flirting With Truth

There is a classic story of someone flirting with truth...
There was a deva (god)... who had the ability to fly extremely fast in space.
Burning with the curiosity of whether the universe was finite in space,
he flew on and on in a certain direction... before encountering the Buddha.
Going before the Buddha, he enquired on whether the universe was finite.
The Buddha did not answer his question; instead, He asked him,
"If you had not met me and if the universe was infinite in space,
you would had flew on and on till you died.
But if you found an end to it, what were you going to do after that?"
The deva was enlightened on his foolishness.
The deva was flirting with truth unnecessarily.
Life goes on even if he was to discover the finity of the universe,
and knowledge of its finity will give no bearings on how he was to fruitfully
live the rest of his finite life. What we all want is True lasting Happiness.
but many of us look for it in the wrong directions.
In the case of the deva, he had confused the priority of answering
his mere curiosity with the priority of answering his need for genuine wisdom,
the latter being that which leads to True Happiness.

When was the last time you held hands in public?


The Arts of Holding Hands

Some say it's old fashioned.
Some say it's a necessity in a world of insecurity.
Other's just simply call it romantic.
Holding hands.
I love to see people holding hands.
It's such a powerful statement to the world.
One that screams, "She's mine!" or "He's with me!"
I can't say that I see it much any more.
I pride myself in noticing the romance in life.
I get chills when I see an unusual marriage proposal played out on television.
But these outward signs of love seem to be disappearing.
I remember driving down the road and having
my girl sitting next to me in the car.
I mean right next to me.
I saw a couple that close yesterday and thought,
"Oh, my God she's not wearing a seat belt?"
I was mad at the guy for permitting this.
But I love to see older couples walking together holding hands.
I met one such couple yesterday on my return trip home.
Yes, I stopped at a mall.
It seems my life is spent there.
When I travel, I visit the local mall just to spend some time,
get a little exercise and of course watch and meet people.
This day I met Art and Lilly.
I couldn't help but watch them as they strolled past the stores,
pausing every once in a while to giggle and kiss like two young love birds.
And they were holding hands.
In fact, swinging their arms like two love sick teens.
I absolutely loved it.
i had to say hello.
"I must tell you how refreshing it is to see the two of you so much in love," I said.
"Oh, you can tell?" Art laughed.
"How long have you been together?" I asked.
"Forever!" Lilly said.
"I believe we were meant to be from the beginning of time. It was God's plan."
"I noticed you holding hands.
I don't see that too much any more.
It's so romantic," I said.
"Well, we just don't hold hands.
We connect our spirits. There's a real science to it, you know," said Art.
"I never realized that," I said.
"Well, there are different types of hand holding,"
he said and went on to explain.
"One is like this, where you just wrap your hands around each other's.
Then there's the hand hold and arm hug,
where you bring her close and pull your hands in front of you like this,"
he said as he demonstrated.
"Of course there's the hold where you intertwine your fingers,"
Lilly said and then giggled like a kid.
"Then the real romantic one is when you reach for her hand
and just before your grasp it, you gently pull it up and kiss it.
Just like in the old days," said Art.
"And the swing? I saw you swinging your arms as you walked along," I said.
"Oh, that's just fun, goofy stuff.
That's when we are just being silly.
If we could still skip, we would," said Lilly.
Then they actually tried.
They stopped after one or two and just laughed.
They were both so very happy.
"You know I'm going to write about this.
I send out stories to friends I've never met on the Internet," I told them.
"Oh, the Internet," sighed Art.
"That's the problem, you know.
People spend much too much time at home
in front of computer games, videos, and the Internet.
You can't hold hands with a computer between you," he said.
"No, but I can touch hearts. I will when I share your story with them," I said.
"Do me a favor," Lilly asked.
"Yes, my young love birds," I said.
They laughed.
"Call your story, The Art of Holding Hands! He's the best," she said.
They kissed, and then strolled away hand in hand.
And one more time,
they turned to me and did a little skip as they started swinging their arms.
And yes, they laughed.
They truly knew, "The Art of Holding Hands."

went to my poly chalet at ecp.. they were all surprised by my hair-style.. ;p
we had great fun kayaking in the sea.. all the way to bedok jetty
and back.. tire.. first time doing kayaking.. it just like canoeing..

i ordered myself this out-of-stock skyline model control car size 1/10 scale
like 2 months ago.. now then get a hand on it.. before modification,
it could only go up to 30km/h top speed.. after mod, it could go up to
50km/h easily.. beside engine mod, there's also turbo mod,
suspension mod, wheel and rims, gearbox mod, battery mod etc..
there are also racing competitions in the near future..

i started to buy cds.. a habit which i'd stopped for many years..

i've been saving and have not really buy thing for myself since i'm attached
with my ex.. time to pamper myself liaoz.. ;)

it have been quite some time since i write about me..
actually, i prefer writing in a dairy.. its more real..
but till now, i still can't find one that look nice..

i'd found a job.. have been working for a week in five stars tour..
the staffs and my collleagues are quite friendly.. and for the first time,
i came in contact with office politics.. haiz.. its not that i never come across
politics.. in the army also have politics.. its juz that its feel more real..
i'm also surprised that most of my colleagues are younger then me..
quite a number of them are malaysians.. should have something to do
with the low salary..

money really works wonder.. it can create sweet memories as well as
night mares.. one of my friend had some terrible quarrels with his gf..
she wants him to go out with her more often.. he's helping his dad
in their eating house and is not earning much.. just like me in the past..
she suggest going to places where they don't have to spend money..
but in s'pore, once you step outside, how can you not spend money..
drinks, food, petrol, parking.. they easily add up to a few ten dollars..
both of them confide to me.. and i fully understand how they felt..
she said she actually really love to watch that movie.. she don't mind
paying for the tickets, but he don't like to spend her money..
he say it really sux to go out with juz a few dollars.. y can't she
understand.. and i actually feel more toward him then her..
cos i was in his shoe before.. it juz SUX to be damn poor..
poor is ok, but to be damn fcuking poor, its living hell..
i remembered i used to go out with my ex, i was not in a
peaceful mind.. constantly worry about money.. constantly
thinking of ways to spend less.. tiring.. v.tiring.. totally hate it..
i can't fully enjoy myself when going out with her..
slowly, i start to have no mood of going out..
of course, i'm not saying money is what stop a relationship..
i think that being really poor do strain the relationship..
its what you use to exchange those happy moments
or places we went to.. its what create sweet memories for a couple..

hand holding - you like to be in constant physical
contact with your special someone but you don't
want to take things too quickly.

it was like watching 'LIVE' initial_D!!~ lolz.. the Auto Challenge 2003
held at sentosa by SMSA, sponsor by Yokohama.. this japanese guy
Manabu Orido, so call "God of Drift" was driving a Lervin 86 and drifting
his way all around the gateway carpark! covering the spectators with dust..
ya, he's a great driver with GREAT judgement.. drifting easily between
the cone and the lamp post which was barely few meters apart..
also performing in the carpark are 3 malaysian drivers in their S13, 14, 15..
they should let the 3 malaysians performed first.. haha..

then these 3 race queens came to me.. thought im from japan
cos im wearing this Hard Rock Cafe Osaka Tee(bought from jap)
and started to stick those "Yokohama", "Advan Neova" tatoos on my body..
one even came to my neck! well.. -_-

other rarly seen cars included starlet GT, Efini FD, Skyline, Maserati etc..
