My Car Again and "wife" again

My car is now in the workshop for a second and last round of transformation. It will get a carbon fibre bonnet and the drum brakes will be changed to disk brakes.

I will be taking pics of it and posting it on the web soon. My old friend has also passed her license and I will be offering her the "opportunity" to drive the beast. Man will she be scared. I think that it will be too powerful for a new driver. But then if you do not learn now, then when can you learn right

Anyway, there will be nothing much else I can do to the car other than go for the more illegal stuff, but then there is really no meaning to it since my car is a CVT and so unless I get a new transmission, a turbo is gonna crack it. Also if I were to touch the body or transmission, then I might as well save the money to get a Lancer Turbo instead. Which I have seriously been considering because if I bring all my mods over to a Lancer Turbo, even an Evo will not be able to win me...... hee hee hee. But to convert to Lancer Turbo will mean that I have to fork out another 20k or so, either by loan or by cash... don wan lahhhhhhh.

Anyways, seems like my "wife's" dad may not be able to make the trip to SG because he had a stroke before and has difficulty with his body. So I will start to make plans to go to Japan for a simple wedding. But it will be a simple affair. Since the Singapore side will not be there. At most will be my mom and me only..... hehehehehe... Heng ah... save more money man.

Me... cheapo nana lah..... Marriage is for life and because it is for life, spending a bomb in the beginning will mean having less in the future.

Well gotta go.... will get my car tomolo and then can show you all. Byessss for nowssssss.

My cold car and wife

Firstly, lets talk about the car. I had a rebored throttle inserted and now my beastly baby literally screams. Evo 1 to 5, smell my rubber......(tires hor not condoms). I can't promise that I can smoke the new Evo's though because my beastly baby is not up to that standard unless I go "full illegal" and mod in a turbo.

But then I really made a big mistake. In order to make the transmission last longer, I elected to have the hot water bypassed from it. But at the same time the hot water to the aircon was also bypassed. So now my aircon has only 1 temperature......COLD to the MAX. But it will help to keep my transmission cool and also since Singapore is so hot. The only problem is at night or in the morning when I may have to wear jackets just to drive my car.

As for the second, I think that I am getting married...... Yea..... I think. Hmmmmmm, maybe not...hehehehehehe

But how it happened was truly an interesting event. Most people have reallt romantic ideas of how they will propose or be proposed to. Imagine the roses, the ring and the kneeling... Well my gentle readers...... thats all dreams. You either get conned into getting married or you go into it unknowingly.

In Singapore, the most usual proposal speech is "Oi lets gets a HDB". I would not imagine anyone saying "Lets get a landed property or condo" though. What happened in my case was also similar....... (This all happened in Japanese, so the lahs and lors do not apply)

M: I told my father about us hor..... and he says no choice and as long as I am happy.

Me: Hmmmm.... At least he did not have a heart attack or stroke lor.... Now at least he knows that we are together lor.....

M: I mean he knows that we are going to get married and he says he cannot say no lor.....

(This is where "????" and then "*&(&^%*)*)*^%$#%%^&*()" came in)

(Hang on... we never even officially get together as a couple... now marriage..... waaaaaaahhhhh Japanese ladies very strong man)

Me: Really ah....... okay lor.... then when we marry man........???

So the plan is to get married by the end of the year and cost me a bomb because I will have to pay for a wedding dinner and invite ingrates that I have never seen all my life and also who will bring their goldfish and everyone they cna think of and give only $50 ang pow.

There will be idiots who will drink the whole bar dry and then throw up all over us and think that it is funny.

But it will be an interesting event because it will be an interesting dinner. There will be a Japanese tables for M's dad, mom, little sis and also her "sisters". There will also be a Thai table where all my Thai frens will be.

I WILL not pay for my Thai frens. But they will also not be giving much by way of ang pows. (Just joking.... hehehehehehehe)Then the Japanese table will also cost me 3/4 of my life..... bring the parents and sister and 2 other frens.... give them hotel for 4 days and whatever tours and so on. Haiiiiii.....

So my gentle readers..... if you think that Japanese ladies are fun... think again hor...... Byes for nows
