Wife or Car??!!??

I had the unfortunate exerience of showing my wife that I am more concerned about my car than I am of her.... hehehehehehe.....

What actually happened was that I always call her first thing in the morning when she is in Osaka just to be the first one to say good morning to her. I will also be the last one to say ood night to her every night too. This is my standard protocal. This is also why I am a VVVIP of M1. My bloody phone bill is well over 1k every month!!!....

However, since Friday, my other darling, my car has been in the workshop. It went for a simple Throttle Body cleaning because all our cars give off a lot of carbon and also the throttle body gets dirty. However, after the cleaning, something shorted out and the car blew 2 ECU fuses..... Big problem man. Now the mech put in another throttle body, however the darnd car does not work....

So this morning, I took a cab to the mech's place to have a look and forgot to call my wife. Damned!!!! What luck I have been having for the past few weeks. (Actually what luck man!!???)

But I wish to make it clear that I love my wife dearly and she is an integral part of my life..... I can live without her, but I choose to live with her.... hahahah. Its true mah... I can cook, I can do housework and also the laundry... I don't even need a maid, so why do I need a wife.... Oh ya.... forgot.... to have a family..... heee heeee

Well, keep tuned in for further reports of my stupid car.

Cheers,

Mik

Back from Travelling again

I was in Malaysia the whole of last week, then came back on Saturday and then flew off the Manila on Monday. Talk about flying man. I do miss my little rabbit M. She isa rabbit, but she is not like my Energizer Rabbit. The Energizer is a completely different breed all together hor.

Anyway, my car is now slowly going back to stock. Iwill soon place my meters away from the centre of my dash to the top of my front windscreen, my stickers will also come out and then the really nice sports mirror will be replaced by the boring stock mirror. If you are asking me why I am going back to an old boring outlook, the point is that I am getting older and feel that being flashy is not appetising for me liao.

I have already done what I can to the car, and now it is just to keep it running till when I have enough money to get a new one. My sis keeps raging on about the Civic Type R and it is a very cosiderable car. Good power, good looks and so on. But then its too flashy. hee heee.

I was actually thinking that the Audi A6 turbo is not too bad. Jus take out the T when I get it.... So that little rabbit does not know it is a turbo car. But I do not think that she is so stupid.

Actually to bring about a very general point, why do some people think that all people are stupid. There are some people who's actions are so clear and their acts so childish and yet they still think that they can get away with it? Case in point lah.... There was once when many moons ago I was with X and we were in an MRT station, (yea..... many... many moons ago). So a group o younglings approached us and asked for mrt fare to AMK. They said that one of the members needed to go there because his or her dad had collapsed. Logical.... but fishy... because the group was about 5 people and I am sure that they could gather at least $2 from what they had to allow the member to go home. Now if you were stupid, you would pay for his or her fare..... but u do not realize dat the fare is always double. Then when you go to the other side, you can go to the station master and refund the unused portion. Then start off from there again. Now ladies and gentlemen, I will help anyone in need. I even give money to uncles and aunties trying to sell tissue paper for 2 bucks. But the thing is, teenagers, need money, they say they need help, then go to the bloody station, leave your ic and ask them to lend u the money lah.

It is the same with this elderly guy. He comes up to you and asks you how far is it to a certain spot in Sillypore. You tell him and he will ask if he can walk there. Of course he would have chosen a place where you will take half a day to walk. Then he will tell you he is on his way to see his wife or what and he does not have any money and so on. Hoping that you will give him some cab fare. For me, like I said, I am not stupid and no one can try to force me to re-think that fact.

I did not give him any money, just told him that if he really needed help, flag a cab down, speak to the driver and ask the driver for help. Guess what people, a few months later, he came up to me with the same question again. How can stupid people think that others are as stupid as they are. And for those who think that other people are stupid, you just have not met with the devil. One day, you will meet with someone who will strike u down and really plunder everything u have cheated. Karma is always there. What goes around comes around.

Cheers and peace out.

2008... New Year... Same Year?

The year 2008 started off pretty quietly and has remained quiet. I like it that way I guess. But here are some nice topics to chew on....

1) Marcus Ng Yi Loong.... Who??? Aiya that guy who plays the kid in PCK lah... He went into DB or Detention Barracks, the dreaded place of all NS boys and maybe a few reservists. Why is it so terrible? Well there have been horror stories coming out from there and if you do not know it, then you do not deserve to know it..... As for the lady readers who say they never went army so do not know..... go and ask your boy boy lah!!!

Anyway, he went into the military slammer for insubordination. That was the main thing I have been telling and rambling about. We Singaporeans think too much about ourselves? We think we are better, we think we are great. So we rebel. I am a classic rebel. I went overseas to study and instead of following all the other Asian goondus who went for Marketing and Accountancy and other business based or IT based degrees, I went to Social Science and Japanese studies.

When other peoplecame back to start a life aftertheir degrees, I went theopposite direction and went overseas to seek a job..... maybe it was for a char bor lah.... but then u see..... doing something outside the norm does have its advantages!!! hehehehehe

Anyway, back to Aloy..... when in Rome, do what the Romans do lah... why rock the boat!? During my time, in the late 80's, things were harsher and so were the senior commanders. Now life is so nice and so much better. Just do it and get out lor....

2) A wonderful person actually came back into my life. Its my ex and er name is X..... no pun intended hor... For the wonderful readers who read my blog, do not worry... I am not having a new flame or what. X just sms'd me and thanked me for loving her through the years we were together. I must admit that I had a pretty bad time and it went on for quit a while, but for everything good or bad, I always take it as a lesson and or a gift. In this case, the lesson was.... never marry a Singapore Char bor...... just joking lah... there are good ones around lah. But like the prawn peeling saga I mentioned a few topics before, the Singapore girl wants the guy to pamper her..... I am too old for this shit..... Just like what Danny Glover used to say in "Lethal Weapon" don know if I mention movie names the authorities will crash down on me for Intellectual Property misuse or not????>

I have yet to actually go out and do some moon and star watching. I am hoping for some clear skies and also good weather so that I can go out. Maybe when M comes back. She will be back in Feb and we will try to make monkeys..... oopps I mean babies..... but it will be in the year of the rat.... so maybe mice.... but my threat to her is that if we do not have a baby this year, at the end of the year, I will buy a monkey!!!!

Okay gotta go for now... cheers and peace out.

The Yapping Chihuahua

I seem to have a certain trait. I am a yapping Chihuahua. You know the little monsters who yap until the bark jangles your nerves and your brain keeps reverberating with the unstoppable "yapyapyap". I am like that, but perhaps a bit more.



It takes a hell of a lot to start me off, but when I get started, I will not stop. I think that it is my nature, generally cool and calm, but once provoked, the response will be close to MAD or mutually assured destruction. It is my motto in life, if I want to do something, I will do it well. If not, then I will not waste my time. This is also my nature for adversaries. This nature has taken care of me well in the past, as it saw me through the hardships of army daze, (eh... being short is kinda difficult because the 6 foot wall did not take into account a guy who is only 1.5m.... weighed down with SBO and Helmet and rifle and havig run a god aweful 600m to the bloody wall, no matter how tall you are, the wall is TALLER!!!) It has also seen me through many travels, like once when I was on a biz trip to NY, I took a cab from the airport to New Jersey. Being not from around those parts and having only been there once, I relied on written information from the hotel and the address to get there. And to my ever great luck, I got an african american who did not speak english well. Doom.... man..... So we were going up and down some stupid highway looking for the hotel, with the driver getting more and more irritated. I could not help as it was dark and I really did not know where I was. The mumblings and grumblings grew to a cresendo and I just said "STOP the F***ing cab!!! I got off, went to the front and started screaming at the driver.... WHAT the F*** is your F***ing problem!!??!! I am a tourist, I don't know how the F*** to get to the F***in hotel.... WHAT the F***!!!"" In th end, the driver backed down because I was asking to be sent to the nearest police station and so on.



Thats the yapping chihuahua for you ladies and gentlemen. I do not get agitated often, but if and when I do, not much can stop me from doing my utmost damage. But to be frank, the chihuahua has brains and in hindsight, that was a bloody silly move on my part. The driver could have whipped out a pistol and capped me on the spot. But seriously though, we Singaporeans just love making noise out of everything and anything and in the end, we are still nothing. We are really small fishes in a really big sea. We may think we are rich, but there are tonnes of people who are richer. We may think we are powerful however, if someone pulls out a gun or a parang and puts it on your head, you are dead no matter how loud u shout.



It is just like the village headman from China. He may be big wig head honcho over there, but here, he can't spit anywhere he wants, he can't smoke anywhere he wants and also can't do everything he wants. He can bluster that he isa village headman, but so what? Case in point, when we go overseas, people will ask so what?



So this little chihuahua who is only 1.5m tall believes in one thing, walk softly, speak softly..... but carry a F**ing BIG STICK!!!! People may ask what stick? The stick is the willingness to go all the way. Touch me and I will rip your eyes out, the eyes being connected to your optical nerve and all the way to your skull... I will rip all that out. You will not lose anything if you feel that there is nothing to lose. There are many ways to rip out someone's eyes, not just by shouting and so on. And also ladies and gentlemen, i do believe in taking my time. Sometimes, you do not need to do anything, just wait for the enemy to keel over and die on his own.... It is so much more fun that way.



The reason for today's story is I guess because I see quite a lot of people being damned proud of themselves. And when something goes wrong, they make so much noise. Everyday, when I drive, people do not give way, or try to push their way into your lane and so on. And if you have a look at all the car clubs, there will be the usual complaint by someone of being bullied by another car. There was a story of a driver of a Toyota Wish who thought his car was an F1 car. Who challenged other people on the roads and so on. Why can't we follow rules and also learn to live and let live?



No need to put on airs and or to do anything stupid.



Anyway, here is the Yapping Chihuahua signing out for now..... Cheers and Peace Out

The Amazing SlothMan

It is now well and truly into the New Year and no I have not made any resolutions. Many people start the year making promises they will not keep and so on, but I really cannot be bothered. Some people think....."OOooohhh I am getting fat, I need to exercise" but I will whip out my MC and say that any exercise can send me into ICU easily.

It is true u know? There was a time when me and my crazy family were in Thailand and we were catching cat fish. The size of thos mothers were BIG. At least 1.5m long!!!! And bringing them onto the jetty was a chore. I tried t once and after getting the fish in and taking the pics, I required to lie down and if I had oxygen, I would have required it too. I dread the day when we have a power outage as I live on the 10th floor and I do not have any oxygen in my home.

Many of you readers will say... "Aiya what a whoossy or chicken or whatever" but to be frank, I had 2 tumours removed from my brain. 1 was beign but the other which was stuck in my 3rd Ventricle gave mea 5% chance of having a stroke and dying. So after the op, the blood vessels in my brains are not as strong as they should be. And I should stay away from excessive exercise and anything that will make the blood ush to my brains..... (S**t.... that means the most pleasurable act of being married can also be a problem!!!!)

I whip out my medical problem as and when I feel I need the excuse, but truly, I have not been able to exercise as much as I have been able to since then. Sometimes I still suffer from excrutiating pain in the head and bad migrains too. That is why I also keep telling my little enegizer rabbit that her children may die sooner then her.

But seriously, I am a stroke potential and so even the army does not want me anymore. The neurologist said that I had a 1.5 times higher chance to have a stroke now........ uhhhh minus the 5% that I had before..... hmmmmmm..... does not make sense leh.... chey....... den why go through all the pain of having a major op and all the silly pain..... haizzzzz

Anyway, all that being aside, my fengshui master told me that this will not be that great a year for me as a monkey...... Hmmmm ok lor.... have to depend on rabbit wife for luck. She is supposed to be lucky this year. But as all things, there must be understanding and also communications.

For me, I do believe in communications and also trying to understand where the other party is coming from. For me my motto in life is do what you want others to do onto you. SO if you want other people to shit on you, then by all means start shitting on other people. But of course this does not hold true for all situations lah. I also believe in an eye for an eye lor... So if someone shits on me, I will throw the whole toilet bowl at the other person.

Anyway, enough of shits and toilet bowls.... Have a great new year guys and gals!!!!

HAPPY 2008

This year started off pretty slow. At least no one came over for any parties and I did not go for any fireworks and did not race with anyone so my wife was okay with me... heee heeee. remember last year how I suffered because I was driving just a wee bit faster. But she has more or less become secure in my driving. I can go down the curve from PIE to ECP without braking and just using the e-brake and she does not cling on the the straps.

So much has happened in 2007, the energizer rabbit is still holed out at my place, and things are going to happen for 2008. I have to try and start some new business and also try to make babies. My last 2 attemptes have failed and if we do not make any babies by the end of the year By god I will get a monkey!!!!

At least wifey agrees on the part of making babies, but she has yet to agree to the monkey yet.. hahahahahahahaha

As for my car, as I mentioned, nothing will be done to it, however, I will bring it for ecu tuning tomolo so that at least it can run properly without needing the piggy back. Seems like most piggy backs will go back to square one. I am however most displeased with a certain shop for thieir most unfair treatment. I will not mention names or places, however they will not have my business from now on. I just went to ask them to insert a ero map because I needed to tune my ecu. And if the ecu did not work properly, at least I can change it back to the original and run off my piggy back for more power. They said that they did not have the laptop to do it. So I told them to take the damn thing out and I would try to tune without the piggy back. Now if the ecu tuning does not work, I am screwd!!!

That is why I am mentioning that 2008 is not such a great year for me.

As for other things, all things being equal, I am looking forward to quite a good year ahead. It will be interesting and also fill of excitment. I guess that we all have to look forward and be happy with what we have.


HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL
