Time To Recap!

Hey peeps! The universe has changed its shape, the President of USA has been decided, stupid people with no brains just blew up buildings in Mumbai and Bangkok has turned from a land of smiles, to a land of protesting monkeys. My favourite TV show, Top Gear has already progressed 2 more series! This is what happened between now, and the time I last updated this rotting blog.

Old news, typed out in October:
As you would have already noticed, I am so in LOVE with London now. I just don't know why. Probably watching too much Top Gear can cause you to fall in love with London? My love for London was so great that I even went to the extent of writing London in most of my Social Studies answers and even putting up a 'spy' cam of London's famous Piccadilly Circus (which I have just shifted to the bottom of the page) I'm such a stalker, I know. The new Discovery Magazine that the school gave has a night time satellite picture of London. The first thing that caught my eye was the infamous London's M25 motorway. It was so damn obvious for my trained eye, I went on the read the captions for the picture and true enough, they mentioned the M25 which can be seen circling around the bright spot in central London. Enough of London already! Let's move on to Los Angeles! I shall not say much but I am also watching their traffic webcams also... o.0

While 'stalking' London, I found something very interesting, notice the yellow tractor (something like that) at the left hand side of the pic? Thats strange considering that there are no construction going on at the famous Piccadilly Circus. And this is for Varun, I spotted ur old school London Routemaster bus
M25 motorway

Fast forward to November:

Finally, O levels is finally over! No more slogging through the night, no more nagging from parents for slacking and no more SCHOOL! I'm not planning to get a job anytime soon as I think that we should not waste our youth (and our student concession pass) to go out to work. Work is an inevitable part of adult life and there's no escaping from it. However, since we have the time now, why not use it to enjoy life first. There's no more chance to enjoy such a long break next time till you retire. Thus, I'll make full use of the time now. This is a rough sketch of what I will do during the 2 months of true holidays (previous holidays were filled with end of year assignments, not this year!)

1) Explore Singapore on bus, I'll make full use of my student concession pass as it will expire in a month's time!!! I will sit random buses all around Singapore.

2) While on my Singapore expedition, I shall try out good food at various hawker centers.

3) Explore parts of Singapore that I didn't know existed before, ie, Piccadilly Circus.

4) Go Ubin cycling, and of course night cycling!

5) Hang out with friends

6) Play computer games like my Test Drive Unlimited on my G25 steering wheel and my newly bought game called Sim City 4 and Sim City Societies.

Anyway, here are some ancient pictures that has been left in my hard disk for quite sometime. These pictures are arranged in random order.

Found some funny spasm face pictures of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear

Grrrr....
o.0Staying with Top Gear, I recently got myself a cool wall from the Top Gear Singapore magazine

The real (and original) cool wall from the Top Gear TV show My version of the cool wall If you think any car or person should not be in their respective categories, please tell me! And I will see how feasible your comments are.

Now my bedroom wall is now littered with posters =.=" Messy
Something for me to celebrate about! My new lift opened in September 25th! Now I don't have to climb the staircase to get to the old lift liao!

My sparkling new lift! These buttons are very noisy! Everyone of them produces a high pitch beeeppp when pressed, except the alarm button of course, which produces a much louder sound. And for those who are curious on what I made for my O levels D&T project. Here are some pics of the finished product. It is a device which can be attactched to the car's rear windscreen and it can display messages through a rotating device. Complicated wirings
And the presentation boardMy own version of the infamous ERP
So on National Day, my family and I went to Mount Faber to watch the fireworks. So after that we drove down the one way road and there was a massive jam. I thought it was normal as there was quite a lot of people. But after 10mins, the jam barely moved at all. My dad's car was stationery for 10mins. Fed up, I went to take a look at what is happening in front. And this is what I saw: (sorry for the grainy pictures, my camera sucks)

A crowd of people gathering around a bus. Hmmm, lets walk further to find out!
So.... this red Mazda 3 is blocking the bus.... Stupid driver. Park on double yellow line. After a sharp bend somemore. No brain driver.The bus tried in vain to pass the Mazda car, but to no avail. As you can see from these pictures...A crowd of men has gathered around the car to try to lift it out of the way. Obviously their ambitious attempt failed as the Mazda 3 weigh around 1400KG.Waiting...waiting...waiting... Half an hour passed and still no sign of the bloody driver. Jams continues to form behind the bus. Horns blarring, people stuck in the bus. All these because of a single idiotic driver. By now the Police has arrived and can't do anything but wait for the driver to arrive, where a fine would be inevitable. For those hardcore 4-D beters out there. This is the number plate. For non gamblers, You could use the number to scribble on walls or use them as your lucky numbers. This driver needs to be taught a lesson. Finally, the driver arrived! Greeted the driver were many angry faces, rude insults and of course the Police. And guess who the driver was? A woman driver!!!!! Stupid china bitch. Cause so much pain and suffering to the people behind her. She promptly moved her car away to a proper parking spot where the Police interogated her. Finally, traffic was moving and I can finally leave the exhaust fume chocked Mount Faber. Hope the bitch got fined heavily!

Stupid China Bitch! Somemore woman drivers in action elsewhere...

This white Honda Civic which was driven by a woman driver (I saw it with my own eyes) crashed into the pavement at Jln Bt Merah, another classic example of how not to drive, brought to you by women drivers. By the way, sharp eyed people may have noticed that this driver has a P-Plate on the car, which may explain the foolishness.So, somewhere before the O levels, my usual group of friends hung out at Suntec City Toys'R Us, here are some spasm pics.

Swordfight/ suicide mission between our 2 manga fanatics.

Somehow, I joined in the fight too!Ok, I took a funny pic of my cousin who looks like Ruhua (is it this name?)Some funny pics from the last days of normal lessons in Queensway.

Guess who is this garbage guy?The usual clowning around by Hai Shien and gang =.="And finally, our In house entertainer/clown - Yun Keat! Performing is Soda bottle trickSo recently I've been trying out some pics modification on Picnik, which is a picture editing software which does great modifications! Here's a sample, tell me how it looks like for my first try (it may not look good though)

Picture before edit
Picture after editTiger car, bet you wouldn't find that on the roads!Recently, there's an influx or Nissan GT-R (R35) in Singapore, I'm afraid it will have a reputation of those modified Mitsubishi EVO or Subaru WRX. Here are some GT-R which I have bothered to take pics of

Tiger GT-RThe normal GT-RsNow, this is a unique car! A Lotus 340r. This picture is taken by my Dad in Singapore when he sent his car for inspection. I saw this car at Sentosa once, but it was speeding and did not manage to steal a picture of it.I like this picture, a picture of a souped up Boxter S and an old school Merc convertibleLambo frenzy!

This picture was destroyed by Diva because he changed my camera effects to Sepia =.="Aston Martin DB9, James Bond's stuffsFerrari F430
Interior of itSo, this is the end of a long overdued post. I have ommited lots of pics here as I am too lazy to drag them into place. The next update (if there's ever one) will be on my life after O levels and the last days of sec school life. Till then, don't say I haven't revived my blog ok?
