the throne

chinky: is it just me or did you install a new toilet bowl?
me: er. i asked the maid to wash the toilet.
chinky: ROFLOL

how the cookie crumbles

i was fiddling in the engine bay when i suddenly remembered a friend's recent remark; someone's getting married. let's just call that someone sourpiss. normally i wouldn't have given half a shit but this sourpiss character managed to annoy both me and my friend once upon a time with her self-righteousness and feminazism. that said, i really didn't think she'd marry so easily because i thought she had high standards.

apparently i'd given you too much credit.

so he showed you some fireworks and you fell for it. wow.

all that girl power talk. now it's just hot air. and here i thought you were formidable.

when i first heard your sorry tale me and my friend loled for quite a while and felt sorry for the guy. then we decided he had to be a brave, but dumb, son of a bitch to make this sacrifice and save the rest of us.

as much as i found it amusing i couldn't help but feel a tad disappointed; you were just another airhead all along.

when i recalled it just now i laughed out loud again, bumped my head on the bonnet, cursed, and laughed yet again.

i understand that there's a slim chance you might hear of this but i just can't care less. go wail to your "sex and the city" friends. sex and the city? yeah, i dislike that show too.

i've now got a sore head but it'll heal. one cannot easily recover from a marriage of convenience. but take it easy eh? life is such. ha ha!

i'll be posting pictures taken during the world heritage day but it'll have to wait a while. i haven't gone through them yet because i've been busy with school and some other stuff.

i'll update this blog once in a while but don't wait up.

亂箭奇飛

just went through another two weeks of in-camp reservist.

actually i've already been out for almost two weeks so it's technically not just.

had a jolly time catching up with the friendly people of my evergreen unit, and got several arrows in my back because everyone nominated me to be the radio spec, and i'm just a corporal. it doesn't pay to be the middle-aged bird in the unit because the old ones have long since learned to dodge these hidden arrows and the new ones don't need to, and it wouldn't have mattered that much if not for the fact that there's a major exercise for the next in-camp. but oh well, i'll handle it.

had multiple internal battles in the time i've been back, but i'm just about stabilised now unless some major fuck-up happens again. i'll go for what i need, not what i want, so no Ducati for now. i've been patient thus far so it shouldn't be much of a problem for me.

getting back into my jogging regime because my uniform's getting tighter.

-----------------

been spending a substantial amount of time servicing the morris and updating it with new parts, some original and some of the more modern nature. it's featured in the project potter blog so i won't go into much detail here.

my main goal right now is to make it a worry-free everyday vehicle so i won't have to keep snatching the mini from my sister in the limited time before my brother goes back to using it everyday.

realistically though, it's probably going to take another fortnight or so of fiddling around.

went for the first annual motoring heritage day held at the old ford factory.

saw lots of cool shit owned by the upper-class, and they were cool. but i'll just leave that to the next post.

hmm. wonder when that's going to happen.
