How illogical??

I say, I've seen some dumb things done in my life..but I tell you, what I saw just now must be the dumbest thing Ive ever seen done. I was at a friend's audio accessories shop and there was a very nice 9 mth old BMW 3 series sitting there (bear with me, my description says car freak, so expect posts in this vein to crop up regularly ok?) having its interior being taken out.

Why and who in the world would take out the full leather interior of a 9 mth old $80k car to install speakers which are poorer quality than those which came with the car itself? For God's sake, it comes equipped with BMW Professional audio system where all the components are frequency matched to give the best sound and you rip it out to install your so-called idea of better sound which sounds like the thrown together $600 system in my 20k car??

Oh the best part is, there was a huge aS* speaker installed at the footrest (yes, I am NOT kidding!) right next to the brake pedal..may I shoot the person whose idea it was to install it there? Please? Or at least let me take a hockey stick to his head? He probably rides a bicycle to work and does not know what the concept of driver safety is. Or his legs may have ears to listen to said speaker.

The owner who bought this car from a previous owner said that there has been a few times where he stepped on the speaker to emergency brake..ok. Applause deserved to your initiative to remove said speaker before lives are lost..by stepping on the speaker to brake. Probably will do us all a favour by smashing it so we dont have to listen to poor quality sound. Speaker in the driver's footwell, what a genius...

My blogsite is finally up...

Yess!!! Ive finally bitten the bullet and done it...it is still under heavy construction as Ive run out of ideas but for now it will have to do...

...my blogsite for Toyota Vios accessories.. http://garyvios.blogspot.com. I am happy, because now there is another dimension of sorts for the awareness that there is someone offering quality alternative to shops in terms of Toyota Vios modification..

There will be the focus for all the things I have on offer..I will also eventually offer a 'bulletin board' for 2nd hand stuff and it wont be restricted to car stuff only..keep looking, who knows you might find something you like...help me spread the word, or if you have frustrated friends who do not know where to get certain stuff for their car, who knows, I might be able to help, or point him/her to someone who can help...

What a weekend...such a blast!!

OK whose idea was it to have a picnic at Meragang beach? It was my aunt's..who never even came..right...but it was soooo fun!!!! of the whole family invite only 3 families came, 3rd uncle's, youngest uncle's & ours...and what fun it was!!! BBQ, sandcastles, hmm...football with the kids...either Im old or the kids nowadays are too energetic...hahahaha..we all had a blast, the kids had a blast of a time, and that's the most important thing...family bonding. We should do this more often, that way we keep our familial ties strong, which is an important thing in today's day & age of work-sleep-work mentality..anyways I'll be signing off now cos cuzzie came to split a bottle (again) of white...good dayzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Admission:Addict..

Sigh. It is difficult, for me, to face the cold hard truth. I finally realised that after all the scoffing and "never will be"'s and "..such a waste of time" that I ended up being what I profusely refused to be..an addict. The world is unfair. Why does it tempt me so in such a way? But now I understand everyone else who swear by this addiction. Why? Precisely because it is such a waste of time. However it allows us to, for a moment in time (okok 4 hours) to be transported into another fantasy world, allowing us to escape the reality of life and be in another.

I am talking about the drama; thrilling, yet full of suspense of not knowing what will eventually come next, about all the predictions and "Oh no, it can't be him/her!!!" and the "Oh my God, will you just tell him that you actually do like him and stop acting so idiotic and face-saving."

Yes, I think I am addicted to drama. Not Korean, because funnily enough, I prefer Taiwanese. Dramas I mean. How do I know Im addicted? Try this: stayed up for 2 nights in a row till 1am to start one drama and for the grand finale because the last 4 discs were so exciting that I stayed up till 3.30am!!! Ok so the Alfregato kept me awake which I didnt mean to. So what am I supposed to do? Lie awake tossing and turning in bed trying to sleep? DO something productive and finish it off then! I am addicted. Now I know. Ouch.

Learn from experience..accept the consequences...

...like what happened to me yesterday. Now everyone knows coffee makes you awake, same as everyone knows eating too much meat is asking for a coronary but then again, everyone knows free advice is the worst advice to accept. Like me, coffee actually makes me sleep.scratch that, coffee in moderation makes me sleepy. However, to my agony I found out otherwise..
Like the Ice Blended Latte I had at Caf Au Lait. Not bad, nice destressing drink I suppose. Then friends call; and being lazy to move get them to come over for dinner at the same place. Thats when it all goes downhill..because with a latte in me, I definately should not have ordered the Alfregato (is that how I should spell it, such is the dire in me, in my caffeine induced tiredness) for dessert. Alfregato is EVIL. In Capital letters, at times after 7pm. Why? Because its espresso coffee base, with vanilla ice cream and Oreo + chocolate chip toppings. Why is that evil?

Because...I was wide awake, full of energy, having to watch a drama series, up till 3 30am...just because I had that shot of caffeine in me..from now on, no coffee after 7pm for me. I dont think I can take the awakeness..especially not when I have to work the next day. Ouch. Cue yawning every 10 minutes and drooping eyes..

Chicken bone 1: tooth 0

Ouch. Last night was a night I would prefer to forget. That'll teach me not to chomp down on fried chicken ever again. As in *chomp*, then "Craaaacckkkk" then "Uh oh!". There goes half my tooth. Luckily Dental clinic managed to squeeze me in today for a filling, otherwise I'd look like some half toothed ogre with pronunciation of fish as "fwiisshh"...d classic broken tooth smile which causes everyone to stare at me....for the wrong reasons....anyway its all good nw, Ive got a full head of teeth, pity I cant say the same for brains though...oh well...life's like dat..

Another week has gone...

Funny how some people are..take me for example. I was blogging almost everyday for a while when I just started, then slowly it died off like a train running out of steam climbing to Genting..not that there's any train going up to Genting, but you all intellectual readers know what I mean..

But anyway since its the weekend, I might as well write something. Beats sitting at home and looking at the fishes swim inside a 4 by 6 tank..you know the score..fish goes left, you look left, fish goes right, you look right..riiiggghhhtt...as if I spend my time in front of the aquarium looking at fish...although I believe it can be therapeutic but to me it seems like a waste of time..as you gather from the above, I can be quite impatient.

Like yesterday. Now everyone knows the perils of taking on the Kiulap roundabout at your own risk. It should be called Kill-lap roundabout. Coming out from the Baiduri Bank exit to the roundabout access road, now there's a double line which means "do not cross over into the underpass, use the roundabout." Apparently to some people it means "Stop, and wait for traffic to clear then cross line into roundabout." Never mind that there's a long line of cars behind, or that you're blatantly breaking Road Traffic Rules. After all, you do not overtake when there's a double line which demarcates a blind corner coming up, do you? What makes this situation different? So I sounded the horn. Yes, I 'tooted' him. And you know what? He crossed over anyway, and then slowed down to glare at me from the next lane! Uhh...??? By all means, break the rules but please not at the expense of others. If one of the people reading this is the Honda Civic driver at that time, I welcome you to come over and I'll give you an earful about the Traffic Rules....talk about stoopid drivers...

...like the time when I was on said roundabout in A.M. traffic, and this KSPS driver decides to stop in the 2nd lane, right in front of me, just because he/she didnt know where to go. By all means, drive slowly, crawl even, but please do not stop. You are asking for a rear-end remodelling, which in Brunei means a probable ear and body remodelling, and then wallet reducing experience. Not a nice experience I can tell you. Anyway lets all rejoice in the weekend and enjoy (not!) the new week. Ugh, Monday.
