the <3 Sutra

oh yeah, you might have known about my discovery of the song Give Thanks to Allah on the 25th of December (Chad told me, rather), but did you know about the song i found out on the 27th, yesterday? haha it's a Buddhist chant, the Heart Sutra and though i found it a little spooky (i still do, but to a smaller extent), i started to find it very calming and peaceful after a few listens.

these two songs started out as mild jokes, but they became very pleasing to my ears! haha, check them out too, the link for Give Thanks to Allah by Michael Jackson is somewhat several posts down, while these are two of the Heart Sutras:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciYO7mWq3Og&feature=related

i don't know if they're both the same song in different languages or just two completely different songs, but don't make fun okay!

oh i've been having diahorrea for the entire day starting 7am. X|

Compaq Presario B2800, view of the insideCompaq Presario B2800, keyboard

i got my Christmas present from my auntie today, a hand-me-down Compaq Presario B2800 notebook! i think the model is quite outdated but i don't know if it's still good enough for today, i'm guessing it is since i'm not really very today also haha. (e.g. i don't play Warcraft but i may consider since my old com couldn't support it but this one can!)

only drawback is that i want to reformat the operating system of this notebook but there ain't no disc or recovery drive! that's damn bad know, cause every notebook is supposed to come with either one, but i've got none and to get the disc, it's gna cost between 15-30 USD manzzz. okay how sia.

need to plan new years party! or maybe combine with some other dude's party!

My Ambition (like a primary school essay, but with 18+ content)

"What's your ambition?" is a popular question from adults to kids in order to find out what they're thinking with regard to their future (and it also reflects their level of maturity cause answers like 'fireman' and 'accountant' differ greatly in level of reasoning.)

oh btw, my brother's ambition when he was around 5 or 6 was a fire engine. haha, random recollection.

and so today, i'm proud to say i have an ambition! it's not totally prospective and not based on how much i can earn, but what i like to do / feel like learning. and someone shares the ambition with me too, Qing! haha. it's owning a pub or bar (maybe club for him haha), where WE will help out with the bartending, serving EXOTIC drinks of exquisite novelty. then I (and hopefully my band if i get one by then haha) will be the houseband and provide our bar/pub/club with a variety of chill music, genres ranging from jazz to blues to country to alternative. then Qing and whatever crew he may have in the future will share the stage throughout the week providing dance entertainment! so it's like we co-own the pub/bar/club yet help out doing what we love, also allowing us to save cost hiring dudish helpers!

quite a random (and for some maybe even immature or unrealistic) thought but it's pretty well thought out for now huh, about the mix between interest and work. other details like design aren't usually important for such random thoughts. i don't daydream.

anyway, it was Yongwen's birthday yesterday, went down to give / show face. saw him drink power shots haha, Black Absinthe, Flaming Dr. Pepper and Waterfall, all quite hardcore yet very pleasing to the eye (preparation involved fire and colourful mixes of alcohol and other ingredients like milk or sugar). the whole event seemed like a 'de-virginization' of Yongwen's drinking life the moment he became legal haha, quite an eyeful. 3 shots of exotic drinks cost the dudes who paid for it over a hundred bucks and Yongwen was high, however, he wasn't wasted which obviously shows he ain't no virgin to begin with yesterday haha.

came home, slept at 4am and overslept frisbee this morning with Phelan & Gabriel & dudes. supposed to go town for photohunt with Nwahs & Gab & Pao til night but since Nwahs woke up with a fever, the whole thing was cancelled too haha, wasted but it's okay it will materialise some other time i'm sure. so Ww came over for a nap ._. til 7 where we went for dinner at j8 with Hx, Phelan & Shawn Lau at Food Junction where the food was funking ex and that's pretty much what you need to know about my life today.

Give Thanks to Allah!

i'm hooked onto a new song on Jesus' birthday, Give Thanks to Allah by Michael Jackson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT6sfkVtwbI

Give thanks to Allah,
for the moon and the stars
prays in all day full,
what is and what was
take hold of your iman
dont givin to shaitan
oh you who believe please give thanks to Allah.
Allahu Ghefor Allahu Rahim Allahu yuhibo el Mohsinin,

Allah is Ghefor Allah is Rahim Allah is the one who loves the Mohsinin,
he is a creater, he is a sistainer and he is the one who has power over all.

well though Christmas this year wasn't all religious as it used to be for me in the past, it wasn't too bad cause of the meetings i had with family, relatives, friends and acquaintances for the past few hours. went over to Jj's house at around 9pm, before finding Tim, Zx, Toons, Ted, Ww, Dam & Elson at Tim's place and spent a short while there. Shawn & Russell came afterward too, but Hx, Phelan & I went back to Jj's house just when it hit around 12 midnight. spent the night at his place with ODAC dudes before zaozaozaoing at 7am on X'mas morning. went home to shower and nap for a while before going for 11am mass, then lunch at Auntie Agnes' place. napped again at home after lunch before going to Pao's house for dinner with Ww, Gabriel & Phelan. the food was good. but then again, food was good all the way since last night!

anyway, Merry Christmas to one and all, but as you may feel me just as i feel myself, this Christmas wasn't about giving or receiving for me - little present exchanges (i only bought gifts for houses i was going to, and my Grandmother), but more social interaction and that opened me up to a whole new meaning of Christmas. one that means that Christmas is not about gifts and possessions earnt, but more of awesome company and expanding social circles in times of joy. party! someday when i've got cash, the the ultimate X'mas of gifts & friends (& maybe even God) shall come!

how do you wash your ears?

an interesting thought while i was bathing today...
i only soap whatever is neck down (apart from pubic hair).
i only shampoo whatever is neck up (and pubic hair).
i only use facial wash on my face.
then what happen to the ears? to use body soap, shampoo or facial wash?
OR YOU DON'T WASH YOUR EARS EEEYER.
i use body soap most of the time.

tmr (and the day after) is quite complex a day. here's the plan:
2pm: Altar Boys' Committee Meeting (i don't know for what and what am i doing there)
3+/4pm: Pool w/ Chad, Josh, Terence, Daniel & extra buddies (that's prolly why i go for the meeting before this)
6+/7pm: Family X'mas Dinner
8+/9pm: Jj's House Party w/ 1t23, ODAC Dudes & Jj's Family (Tim's House halfway then come back) + Stayover
(next morning)
7am: Head Home for Wash Up + Rest
11am: X'mas Mass
12pm: Lunch @ Auntie Agnes' House w/ Relatives

ok have a happy Christmas guys!

today, went church in the morning for trng on X'mas day masses, then had lunch before gg over to VSEOW'S HOUSE FOR ROCKBAND HAHAHAHAH damn fun sia even tho it's just 3 ppl but we had fun nevertheless. went for dinner with her at Simpang aft tht - i had a thick and fat piece of Mutton Murtabak and couldn't finish it cause it was crazy. then met Nig at town for couple of drinks and chill time where we chatted from crazy shit to really theoretical and philosophical stuff acting like wise old bastard when we're just young naive fucks trying to be cool. so when we realised how lame we were we headed home but hey, i learnt alot from it, both of him and myself.

mabe i should have such act wise talks with everyone so i can learn more about everyone and also find out as much i can about myself til i know myself better than God but hey that's not possible so dream on.

ok now really, have a happy Christmas guys. don't get too drunk then too horny!

when a little delay puts you off so bad

this morning, i was supposed to run Mt. Rosie with Syam at 8:30am, but i overslept so he ran himself. then i was supposed to meet Gabriel and Phelan at 1pm for a swim but cause of rain in different parts of Sg at different times, we delayed it til 2:30 but mis-comm to stupid Gabriel and we met with him not knowing we were swimming. so we couldn't swim and went to play arcade and eat ice cream til Ww came.

when Ww came, we went to Queensway and Ikea where Phelan and Gab wanted to see shoes and Ww wanted to buy a showcase for his Star Wars figurine collection. that pretty much was my day which reduced many activities to none because of delay.

lesson learnt for me: don't oversleep.
lesson learnt for Gabriel: be smarter.

22/12/08, 8:51pm.

when you do something you don't really give a shit about, with extra enthusiasm

haven't posted photos in a while,
so here's one, with the 'odd-one-out' theme :)

have you ever gone for a concert of a band you don't really know, yet try to and actually do enjoy yourself immensely at the event itself?

have you ever hung out with a friend you aren't really familiar with, yet because of boredom, attempt and successfully fill your time with a fruitful bonding person with that person?

many a times we do not care much about something, but because we have to do it (either come across it by chance or are forced to do it), we try to put in our best effort in order to make the most of the situation, and i met with that incident today, at a live soccer match.

the above may sound cliche but i really don't knw how else to say what i just did, especially in Singlish cause ah bengs don't have such thoughts. well anyway, you get my point and that's whats most important. i went to the Singapore / Vietnam AFF Suziki Cup 2008 Semi-Finals with Wee Seng, Clinton, Johan, Wen Bin, Hao Nam and CS today, and while i usually don't give two-shits (can't say one-shit cause i do, to a certain extent, give a shit about soccer) about the sport, i had the chance to catch the match at the National Stadium today for a nominal sum of 2$ so that pretty much bought my night.

now since soccer doesn't mean much to me, i would just watch the match then kthxbye guys and go to bed at home, but i was at the National Stadium, so suddenly from my two-shits about soccer, it became some twenty-shits cause of the atmosphere there. it's different from learning about it from your friends, reading the papers or watching it on tv cause through those mediums, you only learn what happened, and how it happened. bye bye to your friend, close the papers, switch off the tv and it's all over, nothing much.

however, when you actually experience the match live, you know WHY whatever happens, happens - why you cheer so enthusiastically, why the crowd reacts so vibrantly, why the players behave how they do. moreover, you can't just walk away from the match similar to the bo-chup way you would after watching it on tv, cause the outcome of the match determines your mood, as well as the others around you. you can't be glee when your country just lost and everyone around you is still furious about the game. thus, from being at the game, you actually involve yourself in a situation you seldom ever would, and therefore enjoy yourself in a way you would not usually do. so main point is, you will force yourself (though not really with alot of force) to enjoy the event you do not usually care about once you are put in the situation of not having any other choice other than to partake in it. sounds complicated? i just mean that it is different from what you normally experience when you take yourself a step further and involve yourself in what you usually only spectate. then, it's a whole new level for you even if you don't want it.

ok the above can be long and boring to you so please do not read it but if you're here, i guess you alr have, so too bad. anw, other than the enjoying myself even though i didn't really try to part, the match was pretty okay, not good cause Sg didn't win (0-1) due to poor form and fucking dirty Viets and not bad cause the spirit was awesome with everyone cheering for the same purpose. went for dinner before the match at Sumo House and then supper with a few of the lot after the match at some random coffee shop at Clarke Quay. thus, i just reached home and bathed only.

ok now what's for tmr? pretty much. run with Syam at 8:30am around Mt. Rosie, then lunch with nobody then swim with Gabriel after lunch. after that it's happy time with Gabriel and camera, most prolly with Ww at Ikea, so its cameratime with Ww & Gab @ Ikea. ok tmr's quite hectic so i'm going to carry many things with me to many places!

the inability to think for our parent's sakes and pockets

you buy what you need, that's what they used to say a long time ago when i shopped.

you buy what you like, that's what they used to say not so long ago.

you buy what you need, like and don't like also can, that's not what they say now though it's what my brother does.

i'm not jealous like he thinks i am (of course i will be a little jealous, where got brother see parents buy you 3X the amount of things than they bought for him will not jealous, it's just human), i'm just thinking on behalf of our parents and the shallower-than-before pockets they now have, but he just doesn't get it cause he's ignorant and selfish - 'why you complain so much, are you jealous?'

on top of buying 3 shirts, 2 jeans, 1 shorts and a bag on the Malaysia trip two days ago, he bought a new handphone which was quite really ugly but costs $198, may not be a lot to some, but can be considered quite a lot for a upgrade-your-plan phone. when i told him it was ugly, he said i again was jealous, but mother and sister said the same regarding the phone's looks haha. and he was supposed to pay for the phone himself but i think he's gonna keep quiet about it till dad doesn't bother collecting the money anymore.

i'm not grumbling about him here even though i don't like him pretty openly haha, but my point here is that with someone who spends like that and gives a shit attitude when you try to put a good point across doesn't deserve any sympathy or charity. but in fact deserves to be punished for whatever flaws he has cause he doesn't seem to change over time. he has to learn how to treasure what he has, and draw a fine line between what's needed and what's not. by the way, my parents only reprimand him for whatever shit he does, like washing the pair of jeans once every 2 wears (when jeans are supposed to last long times haha which are like 3-4 weeks for me and longer for others), they don't punish him or make sure he learns. that's why my brother remains a bastard for the most of the time, and is my friend for the minority of the time i see him.

i'm not busteding him here, but i hope everyone learns from whatever he is not and maybe can relate to me on similar members of the family you really wish to kick in the ass but can't cause of family manners and 'appropriate' respect. there are a lot more things i am not very contended with reference to him, but it's just long and naggy to talk about it here, you can tell me if you want to know about it, i surely tell you in face. many things about his uncountable bad habits, his gay sexuality etc.

imma go play some guitar now and i really want to become better. but saying like this is not going to work.

20/12/08, 11:31pm.

i'm an AIDS bastard

i've got the bedbugs rash infection which began at y camp so i went to see doctor today then went down to collect reimbursement for my consultation fees and medication, cause it was all covered under the ymca insurance when we signed up for the camp.

anyway, the rash is bad, with it reaching my ears, ankles and face apart from the usual back, arms, neck thing. i hope it cures quickly cause of the doc's jab i took today.

went phototaking with Nig then dinner with Ww, Pao, Gab & Phelan aft tht. ok nice day to you guys too bye i'm tired i want to sleep but i need to count my coins cause i got no notes left to spend. :(

Malaysia and AJ match day

hello today Cjc vs Ajc, but i didn't play cause i went to JB with Gabriel and family! i bought 3 shirts - 2 polos and 1 lumberjack (counterfeit looking one) and am quite happy but at the same time unhappy cause i wanted a vintage wash jeans as well as a brown corduroy trousers. that have to be searched for in Singapore now.

my brother, on the other hand, is over the moon cause he bought 3 shirts 2 jeans and 1 berms. plus 1 bag too. sure damn happy while everyone else was okay happy only. however Gabriel didn't buy anything but i hope he enjoyed himself waiting for me, playing arcade, eating junk and wasting time for an entire day in Malaysia, as well as leeching food from my family, but i think we're all more than happy to provide for you for a day, and for anyone else too!

most retardedly, i didn't take any photos even though i had my camera with me the entire day and a photobuddy with me too. for a brief report of this morning's match and a lesson learnt on online weather forecasts, please follow http://yourbeautyinapicture.wordpress.com, Freddie's blog.

imma going to bathe now cause i've got rash.

the Paolo's house

hihihi i'm blogging from Paolo's house here in Bishan which is so close to Cat High and i used to walk past here like everyday on my way to the bus stop home! if i had known that this apartment was his house in the past, i would have shouted something everytime i walked past for the past 10 years of short pants life. haha so here we are having a fun time with his Xbox 360, then we're going to watch either 21 or The Mist and then the other one after. and slot in supper at Kway Chap somewhere in between.

wish me fun and happiness and there's trng tmr which Fred and i ain't gg for. then there's match against Aj on Thurs which we may be / may not be going for depending on whether we choose to play the match or go Malaysia with family and Gabriel. so we shall see, if tmr rains then Thurs won't rain then can play match and vice versa! but i hope it rains on Thurs so match will be postponed and i can have the best of both worlds.

you know, there are many things i want to achieve this lifetime, one of them is to spot many different hairstyles throughout the various times of my life. the afro, dreadlocks and cornrows are all weirder hairstyles i wna do someday apart from the usual buzzcut or shoulder-length hair. i won't do a moehawk or anything that requires arrangement in the morning cause i ain't gna do it - i tried doing things that needed preparation in the morning and i couldn't make myself do it, so it's gna be hairstyles i can get and keep that way for a long time without doing much to it! hair, so fun to play!

Pao's tablet pc keyboard quite nice to type on siol.

post Y camp

y camp wasn't all fun and games, but neither was it extremely challenging. to be honest, it was a fair mix between good company and fun and the challenging element of looking after someone before yourself. i'm sure Kian Say had a fun time but i wasn't the one all responsible for it, cause during the camp, his brother was there to help out and also watched out for him a fair bit, making my job easier by alot. moreover, i was paired up with another volunteer to look after him so the burden was shared. thanks to Huiying and Kian Beng haha. Kian Say was not everything in this camp, but there was just too many things which happened and i am very tired now after watching Infernal Affairs 2 on ch U which finished a while ago so i won't share any more. could tell you when i see you some other time.

of course, i would also love to post a few pictures, maybe of the ones with Kian Say, or the one with 6 dead mosquitoes lined up nicely killed by Huiying and i but for now i'm going to waste some time online before hitting the sheets for energy for tmr's trng. i slept at 1 yesterday night and woke up at 1 this afternoon, had lunch, and went back to bed til 5 and then went church which sums up my day hahah. ok bye.

14/12/08, 11:23pm.

Y camp eve

damn it it's YMCA's Y Camp tmr and i'm quite scared. not as scared as before i met my beneficiary, cause it's slightly better now but i'm still feeling apprehensive towards the entire experience coming forth at me tmr. but i'm just gonna do this shit and clear 70 hours of CIP to the very best i can, so Ahmad Salim, you're in for helluva time!

today's YMCA flag day was quite funny haha, cause we just went to do it and got a free shirt which doesn't look too bad. i like it actually, cause the YMCA words look like the ACJC kuan they have on the countless ACJC tees, which means got class and got style ahah and i wear alr got potential to become like a handsome AC dude. Fred and i did 1 hr of flagging at some cool spot in between Civic Centre and Causeway Point and got half a can filled in 1 hr, then we returned to the starting point to check out only to see 4 other group members walking around flagging together, they didn't even fill 1/10 of the can yet. but we zao early la, they stayed until 6pm, like 4 hrs la haha so in some way still own us. ya but main point is get Marcus & Freddie to flag for your association, sure own. somewhere in Little India / Farrer Park, Lester and Jiajian also stuck with the haven't even 1/10 of can problem thus, trust Marcus & Freddie.

ok let you all see something cute then i zao for 4 days til Sunday evening ahhh sian. this is also one of my Kuching shots!

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon '08

omg i really didn't know the Standard Chartered run was so high tech until you could go online to find your timing and then photos. i didn't run and of course i regretted it but that's not what i'm talking about, i'm talking about my friends who had their pictures and timings up on the website, it's fucking funny hhaha.

for eg., Gabriel's 21km lost to Yue Sheng by about 10 mins haha if you know who the two of them are, then it's quite funny. saw all their photos too, pretty hilarious haha go check it out if you want to and you've got friends / relatives who took part. can see timing and rank and photo leizxz so high class worhzxz. ya at most i go take part next year la.

cb tmr got YMCA pangsai flag day for CIP.

10/12/08, 1:56am.

PHOTOS!

hihihi i just got my first set of photos today, 3 rolls. out of 90+ frames, i think i really like less than three ( <3 haha) shot which shows how much i suck at what i do. but it's all relative cause what's nice to me may not be nice to you and what's nice to you may not be nice to me and that's cause it's art. however since i'm the boss you shall only see what's nice to me and not make noise.

lonely bear in enclosure

gay brother looking handsome with pimples on his forehead

ok on second thoughts i decided to post only two cause i'm lazy and some photos suck while others aren't that good. but i just really love the bear one yo. all these were taken in Kuching, Malaysia.

and something not taken in Malaysia, but in a public handicapped toilet here in Singapore of the boy whose going under the knife tmr. good luck to Marcus Tan (Wei Wen) and here's wishing you well for your nose op tmr in the hope of having a nicer nose like MJ. no but don't worry you'd be fine and forget all the shit about what i said of you being the unlucky one in 200,000 people to die cause it won't happen. however, in case you really do, this is also a tribute to you.

all the best Marcus!

happy day with Gabriel

wow today's weather is awesome, for sleeping. of course i bet all you losers who didn't take advantage of it and slept in already found that out before me, but i just want to act like i was the first to discover this weather today. the cold woke me up at 7, then at 9 and now it's 11 thirty. slept well? yeah could say so.

today is supposed to be happy day with Gabriel where we develop photos, and he wants to buy new rolls to take more photos and i'm quite excited about it cause i get to see all the pictures i took in Malaysia WEEKS AGO, like it's finally time hurh. some of the pictures are spoilt (wrong exposure damn but never mind others will turn out fine i hope) BUT BUT the rain disallows us to do so cause it's such a joy spoiler. i mean i liked the anticipation you get from having to wait for film camera's photos to develop, but it's been weeks and don't tell me i have to wait even longer just because of rain. you see how rain can be both enjoyable and annoying.

met up with an old friend yesterday, could see that she's been through alot haha and it's all part of life that people change, where the more often you see them, the less you notice the change, and the less often you see them the more obvious the change! haven't seen her for almost a year so the change is like ( CHANGE x 1 YEAR ) = ?????

anyway time for happy day with Gabriel before he gets annoyed at my time wasting again.

08/11/08, 11:59am.

you then shut up

my brother is the same as G Force bitch. when someone gets annoyed at them and tells them to shut up, they snap a 'you then shut up la' back at you.

if you understand what i'm talking about, you will know it's annoying.

'Has Jesus round her neck'

mother prefers me not to have a tattoo. people say i'm 'damn bad' when i say something like this, but when mother dies, i'm going to get my first tattoo - of her. it will be a tattoo of Mother Teresa but not this one; one of my mother cause she's called Teresa too hehe. don't say i'm damn bad, but just say this is how i would like to remember things and i wouldn't only remember her, but i would also remember the significance of this first tattoo.of course, if i can only get a tattoo after she dies, then i'd rather me not have a tattoo my entire life at all.

'The girl with crimson nails
Had Jesus round her neck'
-Vertigo, U2

another one i'd like to get would maybe be of Jesus round me neck. it's quite pretty there i think and like that calls no need for any scapula or cross round my neck. Vertigo's a great song, nothing with it being overly rated or fucking mainstream, but it's obviously good which is why it could be overly rated of fucking mainstream in the first place.

oh yes, i discovered a really cool site so cool i made it my homepage. Freddie said i was bored but i think it's just another brilliant idea of mine to improve my vocabulary for GP and sophistication as a person. i'm going to read a few words off here daily and hopefully memorise them interesting ones and put to good daily use! here's the site: http://phrontistery.info/a.html all go and have fun!

06/12/08, 11:03pm.

boredom hits you right on the head again

it's not the 100000th time i'm feeling bored this holiday, but more than just that. i'm feeling bored again haha, cause even though the days are packed, i'm bored again when the sun sets. i'm bored of sitting in front of the computer, and i only realise i'm bored when i actually sit in front of the computer.

i usually tap my sister on the back just to say hi when she turns around, or nudge my brother until he tells me i'm irritating and to go away, or dance in front of my mom and dad while they're reading the papers and watching the tv, and last resort go to grandma's room watch her watching tv. i'm very irritating when i'm bored but i can't do those for long cause they're also bored of me being irritating when i'm bored. so my sister will shout at me soon, my brother will throw something at me soon, and as for my parents, they will start to think i'm a annoying bad son so i will not let them think that way. grandma will love me to go into her room and lie on her bed cause i look like i love her. i mean i do but she will talk funny stuff to me which i don't like to hear.

of course, there are many things i could do: making full use of my time, i could read the papers or learn some songs on the guitar (but i won't learn unless its really nice or i have to play it for something, or i'd just forget it quickly) or i could chat and waste my time away lepaking and become the lepaKING!!!

06/12/08, 12:28pm.

mad moon

hi i just got back from M'sia again and this is the first thing i'm doing after shitting bathing checking sms and email, pretty much the same loser stuff like last tuesday. but this is damn retarded cause i went to Malaysia 8 days out of 11! like twice in one-and-a-half weeks hohoho.

so this Malaysia trip was also quite boring, main point not being a holiday but to attend dad's friend's birthday dinner. day 1 was a settling down in Malacca before going to Port Dickson in day 2 for the party and dinner. only good thing which happened there was tht the hotel we stayed in were water chalets, like resorts above the ocean on stilts (good place for honeymooning but there's nothing much in the vincinity for recreation so if you go there on a honeymoon it's just repeated sexing in your beautiful water chalet) and two awesome soccer matches on tv. day 3 was today where the convoy of cars went to dragonfruit plantation, pao shop to eat pao and drink coffee, coffee shop where we drank really thick kopi and then we parted with our KL flenz and embarked a 4 hour journey home on the dark highway back to Sg. tonight's moon was funny, the crescent hanging horizontally in the sky with two stars a distance above it a distance apart from each other, like a smiley face! quite freaky though. oh i slept quite a bit in the car today and also drank alot of coffee so tonight ggxxx no need sleep.

i want to hurry take driving so i can help me dad drive up and down Malaysia next time. it's not really cause i find it cool but rather, i don't like sitting in the car chilling for overly long hours sleeping my time away or stoning but would rather do something constructive or helpful towards the family. that would allow my dad to be the helpless loser chilling in the backseat while i help him out for a while til i'm tired and want to take over as the Backseat Loser. also, being the driver means you get to control alot of things, like the air con and the music which is playing - very important to me since my dad always plays his Mandarin cds or tune in to Mandarin stations even though he listens to ang moh music at times. like quite purposely but ok, moral of the story is i want to hurry learn driving so i can help him.

and i think i would like to drive a manual car. i don't know what are the advantages over an automatic but if there are none then obviously forget it. however, i find manual things cooler cause:
1. they're old which means they're more original which means they contain more of the essence of doing whatever you're doing. the automatics prefer convenience over the process of thought and action.
2. they're old which means they're more vintage which means they're sexier in looks and rarer today. owning an antique provides a tingling sense of excitement and sex.
3. i'd tell you when i think of more reasons apart from it being old. after all, when you take a picture today, the digital cameras only go for WHAT you are taking as compared to HOW you would go around taking what you are taking if you use a manual camera, thus losing out in the real deal of photography. of course you can control many things in a digital camera despite there being presets for you to use, but in a manual camera you have no damn help from presets but to learn how to do it by yourself manually and that's when the fun kicks in. ok time for lameass online games :)
