My Obsession With Perfection

You know they say, everybody has their obsessions. It can be small, whether a door is closed to a certain amount, or the newspaper is out of place, but im far from that. Heck, if you've seen my table in my room you'd know what I mean. I HAVE however, an obsession for things being uhh, straight? Or equal. Like for example my speakers in my room, if the sound isnt reaching the same tone on either side, I MUST adjust it to be perfect...

And thats why im showing you a picture of my steering wheel. I'll explain below :)


Nanana. So as I was saying! If you all know what I did last time to the steering, I was running a HKB bosskit. It wasnt exactly aligned properly, so my steering was about 10 degrees off while driving straight... Thats where the irritation starts. It got so irritating 'till I changed the bosskit again, this time to a PROPER NRG hub with quick release. It now has the straightness but yalah .___."

Tradeoff is it scrapes the steering column cover and creates plastic dust and uh... its closer than the HKB one. I have a solution for this butttt we shall talk about that later! Im so happy for the new tachometer I got :D



There we go! A 2" tachometer from Autogauge taiwan. Its definately not the most expensive one around, but I just LOVE the design. RM99 including the stand, I guess I cant complain much. Heh.




And lastly... my dream steering for now, haha! Even though im somewhat happy with the nardi I have now, it could use more dish... besides the comfort, isnt this sexy? :) Oh well. Thats life, everything needs money.

Why Tires Are Important










I think by just letting you all see the pictures you'll get what happened. Jun Xing's car got hit by Louis... Bummer :O.

Anyways! Rewind back to what happened. July 31st. We left Stephanie's party early, world stage was going on, and it was raining heavy. Well okay lah, not like end-of-the-world kind of rain, but enough to make the roads look like an obsidian mirror...

So! Sian Hoo, Jun Xing and Louis, we 3 were convoying to lookout point! Uhm, it so happened the route there was to go through damansara heights and this is where it gets intresting ;). Sian Hoo having his flying kancil was leading fast as usual. (80kmh on a wet road is fast. ESPECIALLY if its in a sloping area, drive safe peeps!) Jun Xing was cruising around 60-80kmh, then suddenly came the peak of the hill.


Everybody knows that Jun Xing's car has missmatched tires. For those of you who dont, he runs thin tires in front from a vios (Really cheap tires) and on the back he runs RM300 a-piece, made in Japan sports tires.

IMBA KAN?

Then add that + 2 people + 1 driver + rain + downhill corner + brakes = Lockup (Think of bicycle brakes)

Lockup = Cannot steer.

Cannot steer = Skid.

AND last of all, skid = Langgar.





SOOOO theory of accidents discussed, I shall finish in detail what happened. Jun Xing was cruising on the right lane at damansara heights, at the peak of the long left turn, he braked to enter the corner. The ground being wet, made his wheels lockup. Wheel locked up, he skidded one lane off, hit a vios (super minor damage) and then went back to the right lane... Then thats when LOUIS HIT HIM! *Jeng jeng jeng!*

So yalah. End of story, nobody is happy this happened, but were happy it was a minor accident.

Happiness



Now how do you define happiness? People generally have A lot of oppinions on this matter. It can be food, a nice hot steak with mash potatoes at your favourite restraunt after the rain, it could be seeing your girlfriend after a week of vacation and spending time with her.

Heck, it can even be much simpler things, like cycling! Though that isnt mine, I love driving. Anyways im just doing a short post on this AE86 coupe...

Im sick of seeing beng'd cars with bodykits, LED lights and GT Wings. IMO bodykits are well... kinda like having an artifical look on oneself like way too much makeup on a girl. Removing it leaves a very plain girl underneath. ANYWAYS! Im more of a person who enjoys cleanliness! Or smoothness or whatever you wanna use.

For example this AE, its just so clean. Im a big fan of the half flat black bumpers front and back compared to the usual JDM panda 2 tone color being so oftenly seen in initial D. Generally I always feel happy behind the wheel of a simple car, unburdened by electronic aids and stuff, like again this AE :).

Gah I so WANT this paintjob on a 323, nobody has ever pulled it off before. How do you reckon it'll look like?.... If you are modding your car, do consider not putting on a bodykit, especially if youre a local brand :). Paint + Rims can do the job well enough.

Lastly, if you have a car which is older than God himself, FF, and has less than 100hp at the crank, I also HIGHLY suggest, please, no bodykits. Its just weird but hey its your car :x. Happy modding!

Woohoo Germany Won!

Hmm yes another tak berkaitan blog post title with what im gonna blog about... If you are brain dead by any chance and have ABSOLUTELY no idea what im gonna blog on, uhm, best you leave my blog :D. You wont understand from here onwards haha!
Anyways if it hasnt been too long, remember I was doing a camo BMX project? YEAAAAAH the same one. Its STILL on its way to completion, at least my bike is entirely painted, hehe ;). Handlebars were sanded + painted yesterday by Chung, I help with the sanding! Nice tak?



See, raw steel! I luv <3.

Ah yes, and our very own Malaysian Dora-The-Explorer. His name is Calvin unfortunately, and he's no Mexican immigrant. Close enough tho, he CAN look like one with a beaner shirt and his unshaven moustache.... nvm. Not important. If youre wondering WHY he's in the drain read on!



Nah. This stupid paint-flaken knob made him crawl 3 houses down just to find it ahaha. It starts at Chungs house, since were sanding down his guitar for pre-paint prep (PPP LOOLZ) we took out one of the knobs to put aside, him being 'normal' he asked me to play baseball with the knob and the neck of the guitar.

I thought he was joking, but nooo. He was serious. Well ok, threw it once.

Guess what? He missed, oh WOWEEE :D. It rolled off the porch and NGAM into the drain. Soooo of course we tried to pull off that grille but nope, cemented solid. Ok nevermind, try the side of Chungs house. I was really laughing my ass off at this point cause there were BEAMS OF WOOD blocking the entire drain off at this point, he had to go 3 houses down, remove THAT persons grille + garbage bin and walk in the longkang to get the knob ahahahaha.

Anyways, Calvin, I miss doing dumb stuff like this, reminiscence of form 2 no? I'll be putting pics of the entire painted frame soon, watch this space.

Rev. Ron Chong

Reverend, or Revrend Ron Chong was one of the more 'famous' preachers today to preach in CBC. As guessed I went for first service because im such a good boy! (No actually my dad went overseas so my mum was the only way to get to church but no worries, read the first, I want you to belive that :D)

Uhhh the cold breeze of the aircond. My nose was sniffling. At least my trusty leather Timex watch was nice and warm around my wrist...

It started as a normal Sunday, no actually, it didnt. The 'unplugged' team consisting of Ben Teo, Ivan, Sarah Jane, Jojo, Justin B. and Julian just playing guitars by strumming, plucking and the bongos (?) it was a refreshing worship that I havent felt in a long time

Yeah belive it or not, I feel God when he's around. Cold shivers run down from my fingers to mid-body, and woweeee, was I ever cold today. AND NO it wasnt the air-con, im pretty sure cause I moved away.

Anyways then going forward, Huey Wern led uhm, very very fail kiddies in a fathers day dance with Yew San. (Not their fault, the kids just well, were kids. They just stood there like dummehs :D) And after all the failing and laughter, Rev. Ron Chong stood up for the sermon... this is where things get intresting! Somewhat at least.


Thankfully I moved forward, sat with Wei Xian to listen to him better, my mum A.K.A the infamous Auntie Suzie always tells me his preaching is so good but I never pay attention truthfully, guess this sunday I was more alert than the usual so I was paying attention.

He talked about spiritual fathers, being one, you have to practise quite a fair sum of uhm... uhm... whassat called... UHHH stuff. My vocabulary isnt so good at night so sollyy im dur asian (Y).


SO! What I actually remember is actually restraint and bravery. Restraint being able to hold back what you have in your own oppinion, so that others can have their own for a greater good! Or something like that at least, its really tricky and deep the way he talks. Bravery now, he didnt mean punching the schools Tai-Ko for fun just to show how 'brave' you are, but bravery is defined in whether you can or are brave enough to do simple tasks everyday that God commanded us to as spiritual fathers?

Do excuse me for typing this jibber-jabber, not normally do I want to type about a sermon so badly but neither do I have such bad memory! Oh Lord, why have you taken my brain cells back to heaven after the sermon? :(

Concluding, he knows a boatload about the marketshare, he's DEFINATELY no fan of babies and his bookshelf and he also reminds us, we live (physically) on 3 things . Eat, Sleep, and Poop.

YESH 2 out of 3 just dont cut it! I missed todays sermon, it was a mundane way to end the holidays...

____________________________________________________________________


Personal life uhm... I got me 2 new shirts :)! I got a DC5 integra shirt from Extreme and a DoraBob/Spongeamoen shirt from uhh, also Extreme. Debenhams shirts cant fit me for nuts :O, their cutting is like seriously made for gorrila's or water buffaloes...


Oh and lastly, I met up with Jess :D! My Singaporean immigrant friend (Y). Nice meeting friends after so long, im off to bed now. My blog. is. dying. SLOWLEH! I've gotta blog more often...

Did I Ever Mention, Im Racist?



Well no, you're not looking at superman. Well, sort of haha :D. It's 5.15am on a monday and i'm up again after VBS. I've got an aching shoulder, lack of sleep, excercise, and uhm patience at most.

Anyways! Uh nothing much to update about, VBS is just the usual like every year. Lots of (Smelleh) little kids that we all have to jaga. SUMMARY of it all, the whole event went well and I enjoyed myself :).


So far my holidays have been a waste of timeeeee, havent been doing much. Went to watch prince of persia with the church youth, and OMG man. Its such a good show :D. Totally recomended watching it (Y).

OH and I found out what my name means on urbandictionary.com :P. GO take a look! Try searching your name, it should have results as well hahaha :D.








Last but not least before I go, im REALLY REALLY addicted to flat black bonnets + airscoops (Y). See what I mean? So gangster. HAHAHAHA, now all I need is a brighter color, lower stance and I think my car would look perfect (Y). Getting really sick of white :/...





Thats all for now, my life is very very dull.
