heartache, heartache..

the buyer of my car called me up today to ask me where i did my car tinting. i was like "why u wanna know that..?", then he told me that the car got broken into the very 1st night he brought the car home. my 1st question was why in the world did u park the car outside, to which he explained that the car was too low and it couldn't go into his house (my car isnt that low to begin with.. wonder how his house is like). which is pretty ironic actually cos even before he took the car, he was already telling me how he was going to relocate the gauges and all that so that the car wont get broken into. just too bad it happened within 4 hrs of the car being at his home (apparently it happened at 4am).

sighh.. i know that the car isnt mine anymore and it basically isnt my prob but still... after driving it for such a long time (about 7 years now) i still feel the pain. i mean, after all i made it the way it was and i guess sure still feel abit of heartache rite?

well, the thieves knew exactly wat to go for - the 2 blue gauges on the dash: cost me over rm4k for just the 2 of that and left the other 2 mounted on the A pillar alone (but he said that they probably din have enough time cos the alarm went off - and my alarm is loud as hell). well, his losses wouldnt be as bad if it werent for the fact that its these 2 gauges that makes the car so special. one of it controls the air/fuel ratio, which i set up to run at higher power output at lower fuel consumption and another which controls the turbo's boost output, which in other words makes the car more powerful. in a nutshell, without those 2 gauges the car is slow as hell and drinks fuel like an bitch.

poor dude. i can only sigh and say "dude, u damn suey man.."

the hardest thing i had to do was to say goodbye to you..

i guess it was just a matter of time that i had to let you go. no matter how much i kept telling myself that we could still be together and that we still had a future together, deep down inside i knew that our time was up and that every moment spent with you was just buying time til the day i had to say goodbye - and that day was today.

all thats left is memories of the better times we spent together. how we got along so well together, complimenting each other so well. i will never forget the looks of others looking at us enviously, just wishing they had what we had going on. i guess that time's gone and that we both have to move on, for better things or not i will never know for sure. i just wish u all the best - that he will love and cherish u as much for i did for you.

you'll always be in my heart and i'll never forget u. i don't think i will be able to care of anyone else as much as i cared for you.. goodbye my dearest. ="(


gonna miss u so much.. Posted by Hello

my weekend is ending.....

u know the dreaded feeling that something bads coming up soon? well, thats how i feel every sunday night. well, not exactly knowing that something bad's comin, its just that u know too well that in a couple of hours its going to be monday morning.. sigh, a start of yet another week of work. siiigghhhh....

well, on the upside my wkend is not exactly over yet - the canadian GP is just a few more hours away and things are looking good for ferrari. schumey is on the front row at last! i dont know if its cos his car is really fast or he's just carry less fuel. either way things are looking good so far. *fingers crossed* he really needs a win..

on another note - the singapore sale is on til the end of next month. i wannnaaaaaa gooooooooo.. but i dont have money or the time (the main prob is actually money, i just added in the time so i dont sound so pathetic, hehe). actually, the main reason for wanting to go to s'pore is not so much cos of the supposedly cheap stuff u can get there (i'm like not much of a shopping buff these days, too broke), i just need a break from work and i guess this s'pore sale thing is just an excuse for me to go.. or maybe, its just an excuse that i'm giving an excuse to go to singapore when in actual fact my subconscience wants to go to on shopping binge. hmmmmm.. see what i mean when i said i needed a break? hehe.

super size me!

just watched this documentary thingie 'super size me'. its about this guy who actually goes on a 30 day diet on ONLY mcdonalds to see if fast food is really bad for you. well, the gist of the whole thing is that he started off a fully fit (he got certified by 3 different doctors) with a healthy percentage of body fat etc etc and after 30 days, he became fat, lazy and easily irritable - "americanization" so to speak. hehe.

so anyway, in other words this actually confirms the theory that fast food is bad for health and makes u fat (like duh, who didnt know that in the 1st place anyway) and that fast food companies have been misleading us that their stuff is healthy was all a big lie (who in the world buys into that crap anyway?!). i mean, do u think it'd be a wise move for fast food chains to advertise: "eating our stuff will make u fat and lazy, but we hope that because of our honesty u'll eat it anyway"?! well, this was the whole argument of that 2 overweight kids who tried suing mcdonals for making them fat. although the judge started out by saying they could have a case, the case was eventually thrown out.

sigh.. sometimes i wonder what in the world is wrong with this picture?! is advertisements really so powerful that whenever u see a bigmac on the telly u just HAVE to go out and get one?! it does play a part but obviously if u know ur putting on weight, the last thing u wanna do is go out and get a supersized happy meal rite? in the 1st place if ur getting fat u shouldnt even be getting a supersized tofu burger set.

as always everything boils down to common sense. if u dont have it, ur probably gonna be screwed in much bigger and worse ways, and being fat would be the least of ur worries.
