1000km, Mark Webber & Sepang

The Motormobile has clocked 1,000 kilometers, and is going into the shop for routine servicing. That means public transport to work! !@$#$
Argh!!
On a brighter note, I get to hang out with Mark Webber for a few minutes tomorrow morning and hear what he thinks about singapore’s proposed F1 street circuit. Not sure if I’ll be [...]

Ain’t nothing but a number… or is it?

It’s here.
I’m now in my last year of being in my ‘late 20s’. Only a year left before I hit the big THREE-ZIP. That’s a scary thought.
When I was younger, early 20s I think, I had lofty ambitions of doing quite a bit before I hit 30. With 364 363 days on the countdown, [...]

Hondabishi Jolt

For those who’ve been asking, YES. It’s arrived.

15th March 2007
Kah Motors sales sgent, Jeremy, decided to give me and my dad a surprise when he told us on the 14th that we could come down to collect the car the very next day. Which is good news, of course, since he conservatively estimated that [...]

Dream me a nightmare

Got the Zen Vision:M as predicted.
Dream:
Screen looks fab, and turns out one of my ex-JC classmates is working in the Creative Marketing team, not that it did me any favours. Still had to queue and pay full price, mind you. :p
Nightmare:
Problems with installing it on the d@mn office laptop got me riled up. (Those who [...]

byte-sized birthday boombox

If all goes well, the new set of wheels should be arriving in T-minus 12 days; just in time for by birthday! Wheee….
And my first addition my jolly jalopy shall be a well-endowed MP3 player, possibly with video.
Right now it’s a 2-horse race between the Zen Vision:M (60GB)

and the iPod (30GB)

I’m leaning towards the former, [...]

Uniquely Muar

With all our big budget Tourism ads, Not-so-Crazy Horses, IRs and whatever else we’re throwing into the pot to bring even more people to this crowded island, I think we should take a step back and see what guerilla videos like this can do.

It blew me away! Do check it [...]

Calm before the …

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually mildly petrified that my email account is experiencing a very unusual lull in activity. Just discovered that the boss is on course, and that accounts for much of this eerie calm, which is good since I’m still trying to recover from the exuberant weekend which included [...]

Lord Vader cometh

As promised, here’s why Ted looks like he’s breastfeeding. Dear Yenny and Sazly had their little housewarming/show-off-the-new-baby thing at Bukit-too-damn-far-Panjang. Thankfully cab fare was only $16 (was expecting it to tickle the $20 mark).

Here’s Saz with someone else’s baby.
 

Hotmama Yenny, with Ely Anakin
Yes, I shit you not. That’s his name. *cue heavy breathing*

Looking quite a [...]
