Finally I get to watch the Final installment of the Rocky series and I must I'm impressed with the show. I find the show nice because it has good closure for the character Rocky. Shows passion and how it would drive you to do anything and risk everything. But the strongest message from the show is how you'd learn about moving along. A beautiful movie that balances life, love, passion & determination.

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!" -Rocky Balboa

Smashing Pumpkins....are back...

Well not really. Billy Corgan is back but without the 2 original members. They decided not to come back and so Billy got 2 new guys to back him up. So far the songs are pretty good, a little old school in most of the songs. Totally different from the previous 2-3 albums before they broke up years ago. A must listen to all SP fans.

A Vodkalicious Weekend

Funny how Alcohol makes people do some crazy things. Well the gang from KL came up for a weekend holiday and I hoped that it was enjoyable for them all. Lots of Food and Drinks throughout the whole weekend took its toll last night when I just dropped flat on the couch and slept. The things that happen will remain as one of those memories that I shall not forget. Thanks Soooo much to Jennice who arranged the accommodation without her help I think it wouldn't have been as enjoyable. Cheeers to that!

A request from me to all of you who visited, stick together.

Till te next visit. See ya all Soon.

Classic Simpsons, all the jokes the witty humor. By far the best Simpsons show to date. For those of you who do enjoy watching the Simpsons on TV go catch this.

Inked

22nd July 2007 would be the day I got my first Tattoo. I have officially been inked. Took me quite a while to settle with the design I chose. But I'm 100% happy with how it turned out. Thanks to Fun (the tattoo artist) for the excellent job putting my design from paper to skin.

I bet many of you are wondering what the design means. After months of choosing what I wanted I decided to have something that was different & unique. Hours and hours of browsing paid off when I stumbled across a written language called "Tengwa". The first thing that caught my eye was it's uniqueness and it's complexity to learn. So it took me 2 months to get my full name converted into Tengwa Font.

The reason I used my name is because it represents me the elvish fonts give it a unique sense and quality that I feel to me is a big part of me. That's who I am, weird or what ever u want to label me. Everyone is unique in their own way and I'm embracing me, myself and I.

Rumors and Taking Blame

I don't start rumors and I don't add to it. Although it's easy to just take the blame for everything that happens I'm kinda over that stage now and have been for a couple of years. I don't intend to just sit back and do nothing about it.

I respect my friends and I would never do anything that would potentially set off any alarms. I expect the same respect from the friends I choose to be with too.

So watch out who you point out as a potential fire starter!

DarkHelmet Donut Demo

First I would like to congratulate GRA organizers Ian and Jian Nin for making GRA Round 2 2007. Everything went smoothly even with the rain that came down to make things more interesting for the Pro Grass drivers.

Special thanks to Ivan and Sherene for allowing me to bunk at their place again. Must buy you guys more Penang food. LoL.

Friday
Another trip down to KayeL for GRA a usual thing for me now. LoL. Trip started a little late in the afternoon on Friday so I arrived just in time for the Pre-Party to start. After getting a little trash talk because I was late and didn't help with logistics from the usual suspects, Nigel and Kenneth *sorry guys*. The party started with Ian giving a speech and showing a video that he compiled as an introductory to new comers for the event. Then I helped with packing the equipment and stuff. The gang didn't have much to do so it was BattleField 2 time again, it seems that everyone is hooked to that game now. LoL. Ended the night around 2am.

Saturday
Did nothing much in the morning, went to the shop for a while and then met up with Ivan for lunch. Sherene cooked and had lunch at their place. Accompanied Ivan to Digital Mall to get a microphone in the afternoon. Hanged out with the rest of the gang for yum char.

Then back to the workshop where we all chipped in to help get things ready for GRA. Loading stuff for transport to Shah Alam. Making extra Flags *thanks for Ros and Nigel*. We finally finished around 12am and headed back to call it a night.

Sunday
Grass Class was well underway when we all arrived. Had a nice view of the course and was able to watch a champ in action in his 1.3 Wira Areoback - Kenneth. Then I managed to watch Charlene driving her automatic Kelisa, I was impressed with her driving. Although I didn't teach her much *next time CK*

Then came the rain, for the 1st time ever in GRA history. Everyone in Pro Grass didn't mind and we all continued to start with the first WET auto cross event for GRA.

But everything turned out just fine. Everyone knew what to do, all the drivers lined up nicely and everything was like clockwork. So the course was wet, but the seasoned drivers were driving as if it were nothing, the overall timings were competitive, everyone was trying to get the fastest time of the day. Only 2 competitors were up there, Julian 'Unker Champ' Pang and Ivan Khong. Proof that rain or shine, there were going all out. Julian really showed everyone his skills in the wet with his modded Proton Wira that is sponsored by Redline. Ivan Khong put up a fight trying to keep up with Julian's impressive runs at the start. But eventually put the nail in the coffin with the last run that was spectacularly fast!.

Then came the prize presentation. After a long day I just wanted to enjoy the moment with everyone around and assisted with the video camera as well. I actually finished 4th in my Class, not bad 'cause I didn't do too well in the wet as I had expected.


Another award that I knew was coming was the Team award. Only because no other team took part!. G-Team taking their first podium on their first outing.

Then we all headed for dinner, everyone was tired but since it was a cooling day it wasn't so bad. After all the work done, Ian decided to play BF2, woohoo!

Future....uncertain

Many of my friends ask me to move down to KL to work. Yes I do like the different lifestyle and all. But it's just not so easy, I'd have to get a place to live, a job and ohh i dunno what else.

Maybe the best thing to do now is to just settle with what I have and progress further with the good management I have now. I'm not complaining about management, oh no sir, everything is just nice now, everyone is friendly and can understand each other.

I wanna dog! A cute Jack Russell Terrier would be sooooo nice. But I can't have one at home sadly :(



.....I need a life. Lol.
