random thought

i had a sudden thought.

i miss the old movies where actors did their own stunts instead of shows of nowadays where directors create explosive and bombastic scenes using computers.

that's it.

yay i'm sounding like an old fart now.

yay i posted an entry.

nightshoot@sg

i never understood why people have to put '@' in the shit they write. guess it makes them feel special.

so we went for another shoot of the Silvia. because it's probably the one going, damn it. i contacted an importer in australia to see if they wanted it and they said they'd love to but can't for legal reasons. well i'm happy because at least they replied.

i never give my pictures names but i'll christen this one "chinky and her laptop"

the only way to make all my facebook uploads come from my phone is to put the pictures on this blog, save the pictures onto my phone, and then do a mobile upload. tedious eh.

and i've put the watermark back into my pictures. for fun.

it's never a good idea

to have two cars that need work at any one time. all the satisfaction you enjoy after one mod/upgrade/replacement is instantly diluted by the other car.

the Silvia never gives me any problems except for the high maintenance costs, but given that it's my dream car and a turbo one at that it's actually very bearable. the bmw was a pig when i bought it but it runs really great now.

so maybe i'll tweak the title.

it's never a good idea to have two engines that have a host of aftermarket options at the same time.

i've put both cars on the market for sale in the hope that someone will take one off my hands and let me concentrate on the other. initial market reactions were good, with lots of enquiries on both cars. however the enquiries have trickled to a stop. i'll let the Silvia ad expire because that's the one i really want to keep, and i'll just keep letting the bmw's ad run till it gets sold.

goodbye bm. thanks for the fun times.

yeah that was a little premature. i'll wave it goodbye when it's actually sold.

there's a nardi steering wheel i've been pining for for the last few years. i decided to show chinky a pic of it for her opinion...

me: i have a dilemma. i like this steering wheel a lot, but if i put it in the Silvia i'll have to remove the airbag. what do you think?

chinky: do. not. remove. the. airbag. why did you ask me such a stupid question?

hopes dashed.

at great world, i parked next to a low ventilation shaft...

me: you might want to watch your head getting out.

chinky: me?! don't worry. don't know what the hell you're talking about.

me: LOLLL

back in feb i was driving on a minor road when i saw a brick lying in the middle of the road. it was over 5cm tall and i lost colour at once because of the low-ass nissan i was in. there was no way to switch lanes so i braced myself for a loud clunk and a broken bumper, or worse, some leaking fluids. surprise surprise, the car sailed over the brick without contact. then i remembered the mechanic had dialed the height up a little when i changed my coilovers the last time.

me: phwoarrrrrrrrrr!!! heng ah!!! did you see that?!?!

chinky: LOLLL!!!

we just finished watching the avengers on dvd...

chinky: what's that guy's name?

me: dunno, think it's apocalypse.

chinky: apple grapes?

me: poker face

i made an overseas notification on the ns website on a ferry going out to open sea, in my final seconds of connectivity. win.

chinky asked me to play a few rounds of fun run.

we found law and yan already in the game.

on a saturday night.

i'm saving so many car photos on my iphone that when i see a picture i like in a magazine i automatically touch that picture for one second. fml.

epiphany

i just realised something.

i have a Nissan Silvia S15 for the fun drives and a BMW 5 series for the comfort drives, and all i'm interested in right now is Fun Run.

oh apple, how you've ruined my life.

smart blog

oh my god, blogspot finally did something right and made itself phone friendly.

i'm typing this post on my phone.

of course, i've changed phones twice since i last bitched about its incapabilities, so it might not be blogspot after all.

男朋友, 女朋友

the damnedest thing about being a boyfriend is when you reach home with your girlfriend and you both need the loo you stand there and watch while she happily screams "me first!!" and slams the door in your face. and you can still hear her giggling inside.

but you know what? it's the best thing in the world too.

snippets

been a while eh? i haven't got a lot of stuff so i'll just publish the blog-worthy things i've jotted down. yes, i have this list in case i come up blank and stare at a blank screen.

有一夜...

me: 为什么这些 toyota vios 每次在晚上都跑这么快?

chinky: 因为它们白天没机会.

me: 哈哈哈!!!

one morning i made a coffee and brought it to the nearby park to sip. a little fruit fly buzzed near while i was admiring the flowers. while i was sipping my coffee i saw the fruit fly stroll around the rim of my mug. and then i stopped sipping and watched as the cute little thing slipped on the inside wall and fell into my coffee, and die from the steaming beverage.

chinky had a confession...

one rainy day i parked my car right outside my house. she opened her door too wide and chipped the paint on the fence. i noticed it a couple of weeks later and asked if she remembered doing it and she said "no" with a poker face.

she confessed to me more than 6 months later.

one day i drove the mini. after the ground-hugging, planted, firm and grippy ride the silvia gives me, the mini feels like a tall, soft, bouncy, turn-and-you-flip minivan.

yep. comfy.

one night at my place...

me: hmm maybe i should remove this key chain from my car key.

chinky: hmm yeah, the whole set looks very heavy.

me: yeah.

chinky: actually the heaviest thing in this set is the key.

me: hmm you're right.

chinky: what's it for?

me: SPEECHLESS...

***

one day we took the mini...

chinky: you know the mini smells really good?

me: hmm yeah.

chinky: no car in the world has this scent! i love it!

me: (:

chinky: the silvia has no scent. just noise.

me: ...

one night on the expressway...

chinky (pointing): that.. that... that's got to be the ugliest taillights i've ever seen!

me: lower your finger darling, that's a bentley.

chinky: LOLOL!!! you serious?!?!

just then it braked and entire top length of the windscreen lit up with leds.

me: OHMYGODDD!!! that's gotta be the ugliest taillights i've ever seen!

chinky: LOL!!

me: but then it's really quite blinding. it really works, i'll give it that.

chinky: that's because it's blindingly ugly!

me: LOL!!!

you know your car is fast when you can't determine if the person you've overtaken actually sped up. or tried to.
