Negativity and longevity???

Well my gentle readers. I am back from another long series of trips. I am tired. I had a tiring time in Bangkok, having to train the locals on how to use our products.

It was fun though and I managed to go for a 2 hour massage at 300 baht. That slightly more than 10SGD. cheap hor??? After tips and so on, it was about 20 bucks. But perhaps I was tired or gonna be sick or what, but this session was pretty painful. This is the first time in many years that I found a massage painful. Oh ya hor... if you are thinking that I am one of those types who go fo sexy massages..... u are wrong hor. Like I mentioned so many times before, I am not into this things


In fact, there was this topic of discussion with my frensover there..... would you make a move on another fren's wife or partner? And or if god forbids.....the fren does something wrong and he divorces her.... den wat? My stand is of course clear. As long as I am married, I will not consider any other lady..... And I will not consider someone who is already attached. As a friend.... yes... but as anything else??? NO WAY!!!

Dats y in a way, I was kinda sad wen X went out of my life. She found out about me being married, though I thought she knew oledi. But then we were already broken off and we had our own lives liao mah......

But seriously, there are people I know of who will easily try to hit on any and every lady who seems available, be it real or not. I do not understand wat drives such people? Is it sex? Or is it a sense of insecurity? For me, as I mentioned to a fren, am not insecure..... so I guess I do not need any measures or symbols to purge my need to be or feel secure.

Anyway, I do hope that I will be able to get clear skies this weekend. It has been such a long while since I went star gazing. I do hope that I can do so this week. It has been too long.... wayyy too long.

Gotta go for now... cheers and peace out man.

Religion and Life

I am not a religious guy. Though I do pray to my Buddhas everyday and in fact several times a day. However, I do not mean religious as in praying for the good of man kind or the prosperity of my family or wat. I mean saying prayers every few minutes and so on.

But since I started driving my old car, which is in shit state, I have been very very religious...... "Holy S**t!!", "J*sus Christ", "Oh my G*d", and usually by the end of the drive....... "Our father in heaven... hallowed be thy name". (Yes my gentle reader... I used to be a Christian)

The reason for this "religiousness" is because the car is a possible death trap.... the brakes do not work properly. I always drive no more den 100km no matter wat bcoz I am not sure if they will fall apart or they will not even work.

How my sister and bro in law ever allowed the guy to "rape" the car like that I will never know. But now it is not safe to drive. And usually the driver does not get nausea when he drives, but the car is so noisy and the suspension is so wonderful that after driving for about half and hour, I will be very sick. So if you ever see me rushing up your driveway and I am looking green, please be a friend and pass me a plastic bag.

Actually I have managed to get rid of the car by buying an Evo X. As mentioned before in my previous post, there are already people who think that they will be able to match my car. But lets face it, the car comes as a super car. It does not take much to get more ponies...... Just hange the exhaust and you will have 10% power gain. That pushes the car to above 300 liao..... so do your maths lah.... don think that a donkey can become a pony and a racehorse. Bu like my previous posts.... a Cs5 can run with an Evo or Rex without feeling shame. It is a light car ad the engine can push out 250hp. This is on paper on par with a stock Evo. Even if the Evo or Rx does not push higher ponies, you can still keep up. Like a race I once had, the Rex which was doing about 350hp needed 3rd gear before he could over-take me. So use this as an advantage. Do not allow the other car to spool his turbo-charger. One his turbo is fully spooled, you will lose. But then also remember, the Cs5 is more nimble in a way. And it is also the skill of the driver lah.... I kow of a guy who drove a super car, but crashed into every other car nearby.

So as with any power, it is the ability to control it. Not the ability to have more of it.

Cheers and Peace out brothers and sistas

My Energizer Rabbit

This is the first time in a few days that I can take the time to sit down and have a breather. I will be flying again from next week and so will be really busy again.

As per my topic of discussion, my energizer rabbit is and will be the death of me one day. She says one thing and does another. No matter what, ladies and gentlemen, having a dememted and old parent with Alzheimers is not a joke. And what the bloody hell will the government do about it? Are there more facilities for such patients? There are more casinos and so on, but for support of people who have to look after elderly nd perhaps frail people???? Its all up to us my friends.

Anyway, she asked one of the maids to come back even after the maid requested to leave. It was a godsend that the maid wanted to leave because she was lazy, and just wants to have an easy life. But my mother wanted her back and put the blame on my sis again. It is so stupid because she thinks that everyone is at fault other than her. I told her to save money and she is spending it like water. She is buring through 1.5k a mth and it is still not enough. She has aged through the pastfew years, but like I said, she is the energizer rabbit and she will go on and on and on and on and on......... I am not wishing her early demise, but in many of my prayers to my dad who fortunately left this earth a few years ago and does not have to bother with such problems, that I am ready to go and meet my maker. I am sounding very depressive, but perhaps it is because to look after such a troublesome woman is depressing.

But to more light news. I am expected to get my Evo X sometime in June. That is because CNC will order the car from Japan, they will produce it next mth and then deliver it. And once delivered, I will bid for my special number and then have it registered. It will be really hefty for me to pay for it, but I will have a super car that I can be satisfied with for the next few years.

As for modifications, like I said, I do not intend to do anything to it as it is already powderful enough. Some of my previous frens will say that they can race with me, but hehehehehe.... whats the point?

Anyway, as for my depression, it is time for me to go and see the psychiatrist and to complain more to her again. But my next appo is in April.... shit that is really a long time away man.... wonder if I can be allowed to do crazy things till then and blame it on insanity?

Cheers and Peace out

Interesting Life

I've been so busy because I have been travelling around and also the big boss... an old guy named God now wants to use my company to set up a subsidiary company in Singapore. Well good luck to him lah.... All he wants is to feel like he is God and to have a "good life" in Singapore.

As for my evo X, it should come in around May and then we bid for the number plate and so on and by the time I actually get to feel the car will be around June. But am in really no hurry. It will be a ride I will enjoy for a long time and I will not modify it. Perhaps if I want, a new exhaust system and so on, but the car will remain as stock as possible for a long while.

But this does not mean that it will be an easy car to overtake. A few ding dongs have already mentioned that their cars can be able to at least run alongside mine. I do believe that it is possible as a Ralliart Lancer Turbo, (pre-2008 model) properly tuned can do about 260bhp at the crank. With a weight advantage, they may be able to keep up on a drag race.... (I am not saying that I am doing anything illegal hor)

But a lot of things have to be right for the Cs5 to be able to keep up at a respectable pace with any Evo. I have mentioned that in many blogs and also posts in the various car forums. You do not pay a heck of a lot of money more and not have a car that is hard to beat. In fact, I had a lot of "duels" with Evo's and Rexes with my own Cs5 and I know that it is possible. But that is because I spent a fortune on the car. And after the engine exploded, it was never the same again.

So it will be fun to have a look at how well the Cs5 can be modded and to be able to take on a stock Evo X. But of course, like I have always said, you cannot make a donkey into a race horse. With less effort, my Evo can become 350hp and I will already have won the Cs5.

Hehehehehe... bully small guy again..... hahahahahaha

WHAT!!??? ARE YOU CRAZY??!!!

This sentence or phrase has been slapped on me several times these few weeks.... Hee heee... I would say that I am well and truly going a bit bonkers......

Firstly of the "What... are you crazy?" things. I just signed up to buy an evo X.....oooooohhh slobber slobber..... drool drool.... but if you think of it, the repayment will be so high that I will be eating bread if not shi everyday for the next 10 years and hoping that I still have a job.... Well my gentle readers.... I have a reason for that and that is that I have a spare Lancer and it has been trashed by someone who leased it. The car started as a black auto and now it is a white manual..... It was crashed twice, I am not sure about the engine and also I am not sure about the safety.

So it is better to get rid of it and if at the same time I am able to get my dream car, I think it isa reasonable trade off.... though I will be financially tighter for a while.

Second "What... are you crazy?" Is because I will not be bringing my wife down till earliest June. The reason is because of my work and travels, but it is also because I want her to spend time in Japan finding out more about their assisted pregancy programs.... I can live without her for the time being, but we all have to do our assigned tasks in life.......

Third "What.... are you still crazy?" thing.... I am embarking of a few business ventures this year and to be launched very soon. I spoke about the fashion business before, asking wifey to bring in a few pieces of the latest fashion from Japan and reverse engineering them and selling them off locally. Sales will be at shops and also through a sort of online sales system. Of course the secrets of how I wll do it will not be made known here lah... silly people... this will be my goldmine man....

Then speaking of fashion biz.... I just met up with an old friend from Sec Sch.... (circa my previous post)... She has a fashion biz and she wants to sell... If I my backside is itchy enough, I may make her an offer I think she will find it difficult to refuse... Meaning to say... cash up front and also part of the earnings for a few years..... And the thing is the biz is in Perth... my favourite Aussie city.....

Lastly, a lot of people have said that I must be crazy to work with my Thai partner because for the past few yrs I have not drawn anything from the company... but on the fact that I made almost 20k before, but was cheated by some nefarious monkeys and then I also made another 20k on another project but I chose to push it back into my business, I think that it is worth a try to stay with this guy for a while longer. He is nowasking me to be the Business Development Manager and be the contact person for a Japanese company making power generation equipment. If this deal goes through, I am sure that we can be very comfortable for a very long time.

So now you see boys and girls... I am so very very very busy... but it is really very fun to feel so alive and to be able to do so many things. If I were an idiot, then I am sure that such opportunities will not come by.

Cheers and peace out people

A Blast from the past

I just recieved an email from someone I think I dated when I was in Secondary School. For you boys and girls here, for me Sec Sch is like ancient history..... I left Sec Sch over 20yrs ago....

Old memories old memories. I do feel that I have not changed much over the years and there have been heaps of people who remember my silly face since my childhood says. So I guess that it is me getting old and not remembering people.... Or is it because of my brain tumours that makes my memory go haywire sometimes.

Anyway, dear gentle readers, do not worry, I do not look at old flames and wish things turned out differently. For me, life is like a river... it flows every where and changes directions. We do not want it to return to its original roue because the new route means new adventures.

But life has changed all of us I guess, I me a guy who was a sports freak and looked like the incredible hulk.... And yet now he is a doctor.... hmmm must have gone for a doctorate lah... not the medical doctor lah..... But we all look the same as we did before..... but not the same anymoreI guess... 10 years... 20 years.... people will change a lot during that time.

Okay back to work......
