I'm baaaaaaccccckkk

I have been away for almost 3 weeks. The time was spent in Japan..... uuuuhhhhmmmm, really nice place man. I guess that's why I love the place and my children will get Japanese citizenship first and then when they are old enough, they can decide which country they want to stay in.

Anyway, I met my in-laws for the first time. My sis-in-law, who is younger than my wife seems to be prettier than my wife at first glance, however, that impression will onlu last for about 5minutes. Once they are together, you can see who is more beautiful. Her husband, who we call "choco-ball" is a blundering idiot. The reason we call him chocoball is because they were supposed to go to Hawaii for a company vacation. He wanted to look like a "local" and so went to a sun tan booth. Well Chocoball was brown, but unevenly brown. And when they were they, he looked like a half F local, but could not speak a word of English.... Shame on you chocoball.... shame shame....

My dad-in-law reminds me of my dad. Serious and really elderly. He had a stroke a few years ago and is handicapped on his right side. So he speaks with a slur, can't really use his right hand and limps. He is fun and loves to drink, however, he also has an ability to crawl under your skin and make your life really shitty. He wanted to have a speech during our wedding party and had the words all prepared months ago. He even arrowed his own relatives into making speeches for him. He is wonderfully interesting in the sense that he irritates us all, but in a hilarious manner. For example, he was supposed to give another speech at the end of the party to thank everyone and he went to the toilet just as he was to be called. Since he can't walk properly, it took him a long time to come back and everyone was waiting for him. After the party, my mom-in-law had to rush back to the home to prepare for the after party-party, and the younger people were busy changing and so on. Dad-in-law was supposed to have followed the relatives back so that they could have the party at our home.... he conveniently went back to the restaurant to check if anyone lost anything. A most noble thought, however all the vehicles left without him and we only knew we had "lost" our father when the restaurant called and said we forgot to bring our dad home..... hehehehehehe the taxi had to make a U turn and go back to collect the "lost" property.

Mom-in-law is very interesting. She is a nice lady, however, when she speaks, I have no idea what the bloomin hell she is saying. She speaks REALLY fast.... and with the local accent that makes rap music seem slow. She also has a very cute habbit of having tears when she laughs too much.

Well I guess that it is important to be able to laugh when times are bad, and to see the lighter side of things. Imagine a family that has been struck with a tragedy. And that tragedy is although a few years old now, has changed the family dynamics. Dad cannot go out, mom has to work and sis-in-law is now married out. They are lonely, they have had a rougher than average past few years and yet they can sit down and laugh and have fun. That is what a true family is all about.

But the sad thing was that while I was away, my car was left in the workshop for some works. Unfortunately, the works were not completed as the parts were not available. I wanted to put water spray to keep my turbo cool... it went in....... I wanted to install better suspension and wanted Tanabe... but only D2 were available.... I wanted to change to the ATR Greddy intercooler.... they said they had stock..... but it was out of stock...... I put in a special wing in my front wheel well to clear the brakes when I E-stop. It pushes air into the disk brakes to clear it and to cool it... it went in.....

Now here comes the sad part..... the shop's clerk mistook another client's number as mine and he took the other client's instructions as mine. He locked my keys in the car and left my car outside. In the end, they had to force my car open and there are a few scratches on the door. Later on in the day, my bro-in-law... Singapore version collected the car. The suspension was set too low and when he drove into a carpark, he left my front lip of the bumper in the car park.... Now I am driving with a gaping hole like Jaws on my front bumper...... And to top it all off..... over the weekend, the weld between the Blow off Valve and the turbo pipe cracked and my car died on me. Even though I paid my car loans on time,...... it was still towed.... to the workshop....Just like the block in Singapore that had priests coming to bless it, I think that I should also do the same for my car huh....


Gotta for now... Ciaosssss
