And For My 101th Post...



... Its not going to be anything special! Muahaha :D. These weeks i've been really lazy to blog on whatsover has been happening with my life except for the previous post, thank God that particular drama is over.

ANYWAY's, Jun Xing, Wheng Chung and I seem to be hanging out a lot nowadays, so you can only expect more mods to be done on the wagon kan?

Well first up if your blind or anything, the STICKERS which I ordered from Louis quite some time back finally have been pasted on the rear doors of the Nissan!



And this is how it looks like now, 80's-ish or ricer? To me its more to the ricer side, but who cares it makes sense! Haha. Jun Xing helped me last saturday to wash and polish my wagon while we just washed his Pred (Pink + Red) satria.






And the results speak for themselves! SADLY though, the stickers SHOULD have been pasted slightly more to the rear then they WOULD have been spot-on... Yes, I have a mild OCD when it comes to these kind of things.




And here are the brake upgrades! PRO-RS Custom brake hoses for the AD. Apparantly, not just the hoses from a B14 dont fit, the PADS as well are different. If im seriously going to keep this wagon for a long time I might have to change the calipers to more common ones... Its a pain looking for pads that fit.




In the end bendix had some pads for it so that + the hoses and tadah, the brakes work MUCH better now. Oh but im still looking for rotors... Hmm :)




Lastly, this is WHERE all my angpao's + savings have gone into. If you follow the mods on my wagon (A lot of people dont so i'm kind of talking to myself here) you'll remember the wagon had a black crappy adjustable spacer. Suddenly now it has a NRG quick release. Oooooh, suspense!




To cut the long story short, the CRAPPY BROTHER's spacer came loose everytime the car hit a pothole and when you cant steer... not exactly safe right? So the ONLY 'spacer' I know was well... this. The NRG quick release kit so I ended up changing it again. And YES, it cost quite a fair bit so im in debt.









But at least the money wasnt spent in vain, I mean LOOK AT THAT GOLD!!! I just love the color, its so bright and flashy :D... (Sadly my mum thinks its gaudy and my dad thinks I should have gotten blue or black to match the theme)

And Yes, that wraps up the mods on the wagon for now but there are still things that are annoying me quite a fair bit:

1. The PAINT STAINED MUFFLER. I've seriously got to start saving money to get a replacement, its so ANNOYING that its white, I mean seriously, people are going to think I sprayed TSD thermal coating on it or something -.-"

2. The Valve cover which I thought I was smart to DIY paint over the crack and yes... its VERY VERY ugly, thats why I didnt take photo's of the voltage stabiliser grounding thingy.





So silver valve covers, or... gold, or black?

Letting It Slide


That phrase above, its meaning is very very simple. It means: To forget, or overlook, or just in other words, let it slide.


It can be used when you lend money, things, someone does a stupid joke and you dont like it, and you just let it slide.


And personally, my PARENTS say im too much like that. I just give, and give, and lend, and lend, but never ask back. Oh but thats going to change. Even RM10 if I ask you to pay back and youre gonna forget it for 1 week im going to make a shitload of noise.

Why the change of heart you ask?

This dear 'friend' who I thought our arguements were over in the past, is STILL being a quiet dickhead and pretending im invisible. Then thinking back, I've lent him countless RM1's, even my old NOKIA N80 which is STILL with him. I told him to pay RM10 and it'll be his but NOOOOOO. He takes my DAMN phone and uses it to flirt with 10 MILLION girls at one go and forgets about it.

DUMBER yet, I NEVER chased him for my money. I think its time I get a change in heart. Im going to take my phone back this Wednesday. No point I get my money, I want him SUFFERING. Since my tuitons on monday I'll let him have all the fun he wants 'till Wed.


This is getting out of hand for me lah. If you wanna be a POSSESIVE SHALLOW PERSON, Go on lah, go on. See how many girls will love you. Nobody will. And best of all...


I have no guilt! Ahahaha. Everything you SAY you will do to me backfires on your own sorry ass :).

SDO lah, Shisha-ing, lepaking, how long you think you can keep this up? Lucky youre still in high-school and your parents dont know, however, the 2nd statement is going to change if you dont give me back my phone.


AND the picture above, you dont even have the first thing. Ahaha. If youre reading this, you know who you are. God 'bless' you for taking advantage of me, thanks for making me aware though. All this over a girl I commented on. You think you own the girl eh? Looks like youre so insecure YOU cant even go after her WITH people saying hi. I cant imagine if you both get togheter lah. EVERY guy that talks to her you'll probably think is KAU-ING her. You go TRY to get her lah, like as if she would ever want you. Cant even control yourself. In front of girls youre all nice, but to every guy that goes near them you think youre the biggest gangster in the world. It was fun knowing you. Now I wonder where youre going to stand lah.

I Hate Homework...

Hullo!*


...But En.Siva is otherwise, he loves homework like a fat boy loves hamburgers. Do excuse my whining, 4 essays, 300 words each, and ALL in BM. YAY. Ah that's just life I guess. The arrogant prick of a teacher, and his rebellious students who are having more fun than he will ever have. Its been a month or so that i've been in 4 penaga. I have to say, its VERY VERY fun here especially when you bring a DSLR along. To be precise, my Sony A200. Everyone that saw these pictures on facebook was asking me: "Ian, how come you can bring camera to school ar?"

So Now im just going to answer that for you in a blog update! Smart leh :).

Its a very VERY simple answer, 2 words: Oral Test or A.K.A Show 'n' Tell. Granted i've always liked talking and yes, this was an oppurtunity to bring my camera to the school and take a few shots so YES it was planned haha. ANYWAYS, you can see how poser-ish 4 penaga is! Great having sporting people to take photos with compared to people that are always saying "Shy laaaaaaah". I cant tolerate these kinda people -.-"...



Firstly above, Jia Wei, ahahaha. I love his face in this picture. Gahhh...



Then theres Aaron, which his pose is seriously undescribable. Smirking maybe?



Bryan, who apparantly has a very familiar looking eye-patch.




And lastly, Mei Yan victim of Thevindran. Ahahaha I really love taking photos.




Then guess what? We took even MORE! Group shots after that. Normal ones like above...






And more retarded ones, like this...






Pn.Lim: Oh save me. Its Arief!





*Giggles*




Well thats about it for now, 4 Penaga is DEFINATELY a class im gonna enjoy for the rest of the year and form 5 :). This post was supposed to be longer but yeaaaaah, I think i'll go to bed now.

Tomorrow HOPEFULLY, the parts my dad ordered will be here >:). Hopefully... if not its a trip to the chopshop.

I can barely wait.

My Legs Hurt

2 Leech bites, 1 big scratch and a whole lot of bruises :). Thats just a few physical things i've picked up from FGT's boot camp 2010! Ahaha. If you all didnt know I went for FGT's church camp invited by your's truly, Crystal.

WEEEE that aside, i'm dead tired. I cant belive I volunteered to follow my mum less than 24 hours away from returning from camp. I HAVE A VERY VERY big problem now. My clothes are mud stained due to the awesome mountain/river trek, and how am I supposed to get them clean by tomorrow? D;


Oh well, I thank God camp was very VERY fun even if a few unexpected things happened. Grr lets be positive and talk about the positiveness :D!

Im going to make it VERY very short since im tired.

1. Hiking: Fun, wet, muddy, and talked ALOT on the hill because its boring walking in pitch black darkness full of mud.

2. Any group activity game: Learned how to work with others, not easy, but youve got to trust them. Climbing over a 12 foot fall is far from easy alone!

3. Im a lukewarm christian: Scary, true. I give, but not all I can possibly give and if it somehow messes with my own spending I wont give. Also I have a ceiling of serving... hmm. Intresting.

Anyways i'm off to Singapore 'till saturday, bye bye people!

Time Changes Things

And people... and cultures... and the way people think. Well today on Facebook I so happened to look at Melissa Soon's update saying that how old A certain song was that she heard during standard 6. Suddenly, WOW it just hit me like nothing (Cause IF something were to really hit me, I wouldnt be typing herreeeeeee :D) that I SHOULD be in form 5, but im in form 4 and its exactly 5 YEARS since I left standard 6.

Thats 365 x 5= 1825 days, 43800 hours and 2628000 minutes! (I think, my math is HORRIBLE now. I used my phone caculator! Muahaha) In that time I have:


1. Went for college for a year, learnt how its like there.

2. Worked in 2 different workshops that both specialise in diffrent sorts of repairing cars.

3. Driven over 20 different vehicles, I cant remember them all. And remember, im only turning 17 in September! Now you'll understand why im yawning if youre so proud of driving a wira out of your gate onto the street :P.

4. Gone through form 1,2,3 and now doing 4.

5. Cycled uncountable hours.

6. Gotten lectured so many times, every time I get another lecture theres no new topics nowadays.

7. Gotten into an accident. (Not my fault! Some dimwit rear-ended the nissan)

8. Seen the transformation of the Nissan bloom from an accident victim with mismatched paint to the current state, lovely.

9. Had a HORRIBLE valentines day.

10. Had an awesome 16th birthday!

11. Played uncountable hours on the XBOX 360, untill it broke. Its still broken.

12. Seen the house transform in many ways.

13. Seen myself change in terms of everything. Maturity, the way I talk, my language, punctuations etc. etc. Im not so hyper now!

14. Watched at LEAST 60+ movies in this timespan in the cinemas. I used to practically do this every day I had nothing to do.

15. Gone for tuitons, camps, lectures that I made so much friends that i'll hate to lose.

16. Lost ALOT of weight, then put it back on. Well but at least im taller and have more muscles now, heheeee :).

17. Spent hundreds of ringgit on shopping.

18. Learned to appreciate life. Success isn't defined how much money you make. It CAN define it, but I rather define success as HOW you make the money and how it MAKES other people happy along with you. Theres NOTHING better than succeding and EVERYONE is happy for you instead of just being rich by being a rich backstabbing trash talking showoff prick.

19. Learned that even in a park, with 3 friends, no shoes, a rugby ball and in school uniform you can have fun! (Im aching from that now, and breathless too. Guess I gotta start jogging! Muahaha :D)

20. Tried things I shouldnt, but I guess it builds characther. Everyone says to be mature you have to make WRONG desicions, because you LEARN from your mistakes. Amen?

21. Go-Karting. I want to GO but i've only been there once.

22. Spun a Mazda 323 with blown suspension, fun, but I should have controlled it :/.

23. Dreamt about so many cars that I WANT to mod but have no money to. This includes from your everyday Proton Saga, Honda Civic EG6 to my weird but wonderfull Nissan AD Resort and not forgetting, a short term dream car of mine a mistubishi cordia :).

24. Learned how to play drums, though im kind of rusty now haha.

25. Learning how to stop swearing entirely! I guess I need close REAL christian friends that can keep me on track, but its rare that you find both fun + christian friends nowadays.

26. Washed a rolls-royce silver spur. Oh, I even DROVE IT. This is an experience im going to my deathbed with :).

27. Finished Modern Warfare in a DAY. Its nothing special, but remember, im a car geek. For some reason that weekend I just had the urge to finish the game, ahaha :D!

28. Getting to own a DSLR camera and enjoy photography. Though now its broken...

29. Created this blog!

30. Made enemies and friends. Happy though, I dont know my enemies that much, ahaha :D. Must be in hiding or something.

31. Been to a drift event.

32. Heard mad mikes 4-rotor RX7 at that drift event. I can die in peace now! Ahaha XD

33. Learned how to cook! Tasty, thats up to you :). I'd say myself its pretty tasty but easy to get 'jelak' of.

34. Went for paintball. SHIZZ man, it should be called PAINball. Ive got scars to prove it :/.

35. Find out that girls, theyre trouble. Well not ALL LAH, but most of the hotter immature ones are -.-".

Im running out of ideas to blog, but yeah. A LOT of things have been acomplished, just summarising that time passes fast, today will never be the same as yesterday. Sweet memories or bitter, theyre still memories and you go through them.


However im still bitter over the fact today I got scolded for having lunch with my friends, then instead of going home straight like I told my mum, I decided to laze around in a park, have cendol then go for rugby.

Really really wish that I can get to relax in the sun in a warm park, enjoy the smell of grass and birdshit on the stained see-saws (Ewww) instead of being bugged to constantly focus on my studies.

My first term isn't even over and im getting this already, I cant wait when its near to SPM. I might be nagged to death if studying doesnt kill me first.

IF all this can happen now, I wonder how my college and working life is going to turn out.

I mean like after this college incident, not only I know that im definately not going to study cars again, but now im at a crossroad like most people. After SPM, what should I do?

I miss cars, but will I get a job in that field
? I dont have qualifications sides SPM. (For now at least)

OR

I should go into mass-com and study on how to use my mouth to do the work for me!

Then theres ALSO

ENGLISH! I just realised I love writing/blogging/talking, its very intresting but I wished someone actually can read my nonsense and praise it. Im quite an attention whore if you didnt notice it already! Ahaha. Im not shy to admit it either.

Anyways, so thats the 3 im aiming for. But im so dur confused... Truth be told, havent been praying to God recently or seeking for his advice at all. I dont know why, but with all this rubbish around me, parents, studies, church people acting the way they shouldnt, im kinda disillusioned with praying and having faith in God I guess for my decisions.

I BELIVE he can help, dont get me wrong, but I havent made the first step. Ironic though, I can testify my butt off talking how God changed my parents minds to keep the Nissan after the accident.

Here comes more emo parts.



I cant seem to laugh as much as last time anymore, maybe its 'growing up', or its just I lack to see the humor in simple things anymore. Like my newfound classmates, they laugh REALLY easily. I think I was like that, then I got back from college.

Now I just seem so quiet and shut-in comapared to last time! (Or at least quiet-ER) Oh well. Time will tell whether my brain is deteriorating faster than normal, or growing up.

Its 12.30am, and im so damn sleepy. My first terms exams are DEFINATELY going to be an epic fail. I mean hey, I didnt study + dont expect me to suddenly catch on to stuff I dislike in 2 weeks! Science is really fun so I guess I made an effort to study it, whether the effort was wasted lets see eh?

Hmm... and FGT camp this Sunday. Lets hope I learn something there and have fun, im in a 'bleh' mood at the moment. Ponder about how time has affected you, have you been learning stuff or just being a loser, failing at everything by partying your youth away, going to CC's, and going to pay the price in the future? Now everythings very easy, but I've been to the 'future' and I dislike it a lot. Ponder over what I said, cause the post ends here. Im dead tired.

It Spins Me Right Round


WHOEVER said front-wheel drive cars cant oversteer, they really have to go drive an old FWD car. I just did just now, to be precise it was CALVIN TAN's soon-to-be Mazda 323. Took a turn on average speed and I guess the combination of soft suspension + damn kau skinny tires didnt help on keeping the car planted. Spun the car almost 180 degreeeeeeees baybeh :D.

I have no idea whether to be proud of that, or ashamed haha. You decide :)

Moving on, lets talk about how form 4 is going!

If you all NEVER read my posts, or havent got the time to recently heres a reflash of what I blogged previously. I quit college, and am back in form 4. Why? I've answered that 5gamilliongebillionkatriallion times! The post is below SOMEWHERE in this blog so do search before asking.
So okay! Its been officially 4 days in 4 penaga! Im in a REALLY fun class for starters! Guys are friendly, girls friendly too. Teachers ALL seem to be PMS-ing or being over dictative such as my retarded indian Moral + PJK teacher. For all those who were/are in DJ you all should get who im describing. That moron even scoffed at me just because I told him that I planned to get my diploma. He said he wanted to be P.Menteri. SUUUURE, it might happen but he never tried. At least I did...


Workwise i'm very far behind, so my first terms are going to be PURE phail I can guarantee my parents. Math is totally gone case, moral okay, Sej gone, english okay, BM no idea, the rest i've forgotten about it since its 3.06 am and im REALLY just plain thinking about the spin that happened.
But I know IF I somehow miraculously study hard, I wont be THAAAAAAT far behind. I've managed to do work so far without getting a headache so we'll see where it goes... Liking my new class lah :). Theyre all so warm toward me, not cold and like "OMGnewguy.He's sooooo weird O.o".


Oh and for the first time, i've officially broken my driving-a-lowered-car virginity! Jun Xing came over to my house yesterday for the first time to meet me and talk about his awesome Pred (Combination of pink + red paint. Its a red base with a pink coat of paint, SUPER nice effect in the sun) satria. It has a 4G91 engine swap, noisy powerfull exhaust, lowering springs and some odd mismatched rims. He wants to learn about CARS soooooo, I talked my ass off yesterday. Hope he learnt something cause I felt like I was going too fast...

Haha anyway, being 17 and wild is fun :). I thank God that even though im repeating form 4 im having a really fun time so far. ALOT of people cant be wild + good at the same time, so far juggling both is pretty cool...

OH AND IM SOOOO DREAMING OF MY BMX BEING LIGHT BLUE WITH WHITE ACCENTS! (AKA the rims, handlebar, axle pegs etc. etc.) What you guys think? :D And the 2nd one being CAMO with black accents... Im so stoked to get it painted, haha!

Lets go PAINT SHOPPING tomorrow people! Now im just off to bed to recharge myself and dream of my pimped bikes... Muahaha!
*On an edited post also, I'd like to thank Jaz, my romanian friend all the way from the other end of the world who sooooo was advising me not to speed haha. First time i've actually seen her serious, but yeah... people when theyre serious, they care for you so yeh. I'll take that advice with and open heart. Dont speed people! Speeding doesnt kill, but the CRASH at that kind of speed kills :D*

The Prodigal Son Returns

Yeap, if there was a more modern intrepetation of that story and people were writing a book about it, i'd soooo volunteer myself. Im going back to 4 penaga by tomorrow, im nervous that I cant make friends, im pretty much nervous about everything.

Friends help. Not thaaaaat life-changing much though, good news that Calvin might be getting to mod his daddy's car/his soon to be 323... silver on black rims with a black interior? NICE :)

Anyways 17 years old this year. Fuuuh, I feel stressed. Tuiton, homework, friends, girls, cars, church, working out, money management, getting another 360 or not, these are just a few things that are on my mind.

BUT today's sermon was pretty intresting! Its about something letting God do his will, and NOT jumping to conclusions just because there was so-happenly-a-coincedence and immediately its God's will for some reason. So im hoping that this is one of God's weird-but-wonderfull plans, at LEAST I can do reasonable DIY work if given the tools and i've learned how car life is like in a car showroom/garage. Ironically I miss it somehow haha :D. It can be fun with the right people. Anyways now im back in high school, lets see how much my maths has deteriorated over the single year I skipped! Thankfully english is still in top notch, dont you think so?

Grr CNY was rather fail this year. I havent opened ANY of my angpau's yet cause I have this problem where I love to count the total sum of cash that I got, and not RM1 + RM1= RM2! If I did that i'll be really sad, ahaha ;D.

Didnt get to do anything car-related, drove the AD-Resort only once. (But at least I had fun doing so today lah, ahaha) Oh I DID actually, dad got himself some new tires since the old ones were hard + cracking + old. Now the honda's running Dunlops all round and OHMAICHEEZBURGEH, its comfortable! Like CRAZY COMFORTABLE! And it has that exegeratted movie tire screech at slow speeds, how amusing XD. Ruined my cam covers which were painted nicely by Wheng Chung, then I tried DIY-ing to touch up here and there and guess what. I HAVE TO REDO THE WHOLE THING AGAIN!!! There goes his hardwork. Even im feeling painfull sanding it off, I cant think of the artist himself.

Back to complaining! My camera is more BROKEN then I actually recall it being. Appearantly my lens is something something wrong and something something i've got to pay money for! Lesson learned, not going to lend anything expensive and breakable out anymore. ESPECIALLY camera or car :/...

Valentines day was ruined by me, YES. By me. So lesson learned, screw valentines day UNLESS im with someone. Really wish I can rewind time cause everytime I see her now its akward silence like as if were in a clan with a vow of silence :(. AND its totally my fault. Meh.

Oh well its the END of CNY sadly, but its a new year in the lunar calendar, and a fresh start for ME. Back in highschool, new friends, new tuitons, new chicks, new douchbags and the list goes on...

I CAN wait for school tomorrow. How I wiiiiiiiish time stood still like a London Guard on duty :). So durrrr steaf!
