Million
Since yesterday, I am known as "XXX million dollar" man (notice it is a 3 digit target savings). Why?. Well, my boss was presenting during the launch of BTP2 (Business Transformation Plan) and he tells this story that he has told many times.
The story is about me coming to see him on fine morning with the intention to reduce my target. So I went to his room and start to 'nego' on the target. First thing he said was "Have you read the news". I said 'No'. So he took the day's newspaper and showed me what Idris said to press. Yup, my target was declared THE DAY BEFORE. Bugger!!
That was the story la. Anyway, during the townhall, he asked me to stand (alamak!, malu a bit). Sure enough, some people clap and some was not amused. So, in the toilet yesterday, 3 guys call me the XXX million dollar man. To pee also cannot!!

Man women thing
A young man likes a women based on what he sees. Long hair is always desirable. Curves are wonderful (not too thin, got nice chest-hip-bum ratio). Big b**bs are nice to have as well (sorry, not mcp but stating facts).
Mature men tend to be different. Nice curve or beauty is second to attitude. How she treat me is very important. How she match my frequency is also very important.
Men and women changed at different rate. Sometimes a relationship strained due to this. Sometimes new relationship developed cause we sync as well.

Songs and Memories
Our memories are tied to our senses. I was listening to a particular song this morning and a flood of memories came to me. It was a nice feeling.
A snippet of songs and sounds and what they remind me of:
Los Lonely Boys - Heaven
reminds me of a trip. A very memorable trip. Happy times
Metallica - Black Album
reminds me of work. (Good songs for aggressive driving as well)
Hoobastank - The Reason
reminds me of my Citibank days.
Hootie & The Blowfish - I Will Wait
reminds me of college days in US. Fun times!
Don Henley - Boys of Summer
reminds me of my younger days in KL
Sound of crunching metal
reminds me of an accident between my Wira and a policeman Perdana (a long story!)
Sound of belt buckle
reminds me of dad (smacking me la of course). I was too lazy to memorize the sifir table. Remember the table behind our brown color school notebooks?
Obviously I was a naughty boy back then. He He

Another Stolen

Another Subaru STI was stolen this week. This happened in 1U New Wing this weekend (parked @ 5th floor near the Parkson Grand entrance). If you recall my previous post, 2 Subaru STI limited edition were stolen a month back. This recent incident will make it 3 in 2 months. That's sickening.
If you guys happen see the car (similar to picture above), please give me a call:
Plate # : AFD 241
Color : White
Just doing a friend a favor. I am sure he is filling sick to the stomach right now.

Roti Canai
Like every saturday, the highlight is always breakfast. This morning, I had roti sardin. Fantastic even if have to wait a while cause the guy had the fire on low. The roti and teh ais with The Star newspaper is a perfect combo. Sat there for 45 min. Bliss
I did not realised that prices are up. My roti cost 2 bucks. Roti kosong cost 1 ringgit. Wah, time sure have changed.

Too much
What's up with guys holding his gf handbag? I can understand his love and devotion to his love ones but carrying her bag is too much la.
Imagine this, nice looking guy holding his gf hands while walking and on the other hand a handbag!
show your love and sensitive side some other way la. Go cry while watching a chick flik. Just dont carry her bag!

Only the strong survive?
In theory, the strongest will survive and the weak will perish. That's the nature's law that most of us live by. I have another law that's more accurate:
"The strongest may survive at THAT moment but the one that can ADAPT fastest will prevail"
Think about it.
"The strongest may survive at THAT moment but the one that can ADAPT fastest will prevail"
Think about it.
Sunglasses at night

Ever notice that 'glamorous' people or people who thinks they are fashionable actually wear sunglasses indoor and at night. How could they actually see is beyond me. Maybe they have radar like a bat. Maybe they actually cannot see but too shy to take off the glasses so they 'raba raba' their way around. Well, as long as they don't walk in front of my speeding car, I am fine. Think about the mess they will do to my bumper and radiator.
Discovered
Some friends have discovered this blog by accident. I am not that terribly unhappy about being discovered.This blog is my Mr Hyde personality. In office, I am Dr Jekyll. Hope they understand.
It is fortunate that I am not posting some erotic detail of my sex life or some 'R' rated picture (although that would be an interesting thing to do) . They might look at me in a different light after that. He He

Forgetting Birthdays

One thing a man should not do is to forget his girlfriend/ wife/ mistress birthday. This is one of the ultimate no-no, next to dissing her best buddies/mother/father. A man will never get some TLC (aka - sex la) again unless he repent formally
I did it once (forgot the birthday la) and till today I can vividly recall and feel the 'pain'.
FYI, a women will never let you forget about YOU forgetting her birthday. Ever!. You can try to make up to her in subsequent birthdays by buying bigger and better presents. But your past sins will not be forgotten.
It is a 'card' she will use to make you say 'yes' for something else. It is statement of fact that will be blurted out during a fight. It is like a battle scar. A scar that you can show off to your guy friends to show them that you survived and you are THE MAN. A scar that your other girlfriends will judge you negatively by. It is something that a man shall never forget.
My advice, deal with it. You screwed up. Don't do it again unless you want another gf/wife/mistress. Hopefully you live long enough to tell your grandsons and daughters this cool story.

Donate
I went to donate blood this afternoon to SJMC. The first time in over 5 years. Can't remember how they did it last time.
So I fill up the form, the nurse took my weight (74kg) and asked me to sit. A minute later, she asked me to sit in another room with nice bed, Astro and all. "Jerry Maguire" was showing on HBO. She took my blood pressure (120/85 if you must know) and asked me to squeeze her heart harder. Ok, ok, it is a small stress ball shaped like a heart.. (what were you guys thinking la).
She cucuk the needle in and blood was rushing out into the bag. In five minutes, I have donated 1 quart. Feel very manly indeed. The other guys on the next bed was taking ages to fill the 1 quart bag. Nurse said his vein was smaller thus lower flowrate. Yes, mine is BIGGER....heheheh.
Anyway, Grace, hope your mom gets better soon!
Gatal Already

I have been thinking about upgrading horsepower in my car. There are a few ways this can be done.
1) Add bigger intercooler for to cool the incoming air(RM 1400)
2) Add bigger turbos (RM1000-5000) to spool faster
3) Tweak my Car CPU (RM 3000) just like we optimized our PC
4) Change the cams (RM 3000-5000) - too difficult to explain here
5) Increase cc to 2.2 vs current 2.0 (RM 9000). Bigger cc equals to more power
These are some of the choices available. I am not sure which way to go but from the looks of it, Option 3 has the highest Housepower/Ringgit ratio. I might go for it if got money.
Why so gatal? Well, I am so used to current performance and would like to experience new high. (this one is like drugs la)

George Carlin's Views on Aging
A friend of mine sent this to me yesterday. Would like to post it here:Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!
So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!
You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

A man I am

I decided to work outside of office today as I need to finish my PMS (Performance Management) for 2007. No... I am not skipping work. There are too many distractions in the office. Staff will drop by to discuss few things. Others people will also drops by at times. Phone will ring etc etc.
So I drove to the Curve coffee joint and start to do my work. Distractions here are a bit different. This place is populated with some nice looking people (ok, girls la). Don't they have to work? Maybe they are sales people, maybe they are students, maybe they are on leave, maybe they are somebody mistress (not impossible right?).
This is the interesting part, if you look at them below 45 seconds, they look fine, gorgeous probably. But, if you watch them a bit longer, their looks will 'degrade'. I will find the smallest fault after 1 minutes. She does not walk right la. Her make-up too thick la. Her voice like Donald Duck la. She smokes la. Her legs too thin la. She has perfect body but face.....alamak! etc etc
Fortunately, for close friends, I seems to not be able to find these flaws. Why la? Maybe, I see friends as who they truly are. They are MY friends.
BTW, my work is done. It was a productive afternoon.

Astro Still Sucks

A couple of months ago I was approached by an ex-boss to join Astro. He was asking me to work as "Operation Manager" or something like that. I declined. Mind you, the offer was very attractive. Enough to buy a BMW 325 with a whole year salary.
Today I heard from a good friend that a bunch of my ex-colleagues just joined or going to join Astro. I take the news with mixed feeling. Some of these guys are good but some are not. As a consumer, I may not feel the impact as they are focusing on the sales side (Already a customer). I wish them all the best.
Just in case they are reading this, I would recommend this to increase sales:
1) Show more American football (enough with soccer/football already la)
2) Bring in Playboy channel (a sure hit)
3) Have a channel something like TechTV (discontinued already) for the geek in us
For the ladies (yes...I did not forget you ladies)
1) More 'Oprah' like program
2) Interior design stuff (for houses or apartments)
3) More hunky guys on telly (does not matter what channel or program)
These are just some thoughts. As a man, I have to admit that there is one thing we can't do...... Trying to figure out what women want!!

Astro Sucks
It was 10:30pm and I was ready to watch channel 734 (Discovery Realtime) and the freaking message came out "This channel is not included in your subscription...blah..blah" Crap .............there goes my fav car show.
This is what I call a "c*ck teaser" approach. They let you sample a channel for a few months or so, then they cut you off. Pay or you will never see your car show again!!!! That's the message.
I do not blame them (although their approach suck big time). This happens ever since the CFO of AAAN plc became the CEO of Astro. Being a Chief Financial Officer before, she focuses on profit and loss. Rightly so I might say. This approach is just one of the ways Astro is bowing to shareholders for increase in profits.
How does that impacted on me? A bit upset just now cause I am missing this great show but I will survive (remember Gloria Gaynor song?). I have got bigger stuff on my mind than to worry about a car show. Tomorrow, I will call Astro and start to subscribe for Metro package. It is going to cost me another RM14 buck.
Like this song by 'Glam' Rock Band Cinderella says " don't know what you got (till it's gone)"

Lunch Chit Chat
I was having lunch with group of Finance people today. The subject of discussion was, as always, towards cars, financial targets and women. They observed that my topic of discussion revolved around those 3 subjects most of the time. They are having difficulties to continue the conversation. (Typical accountants!)
They were wondering if i can talk about other areas of interest. I said 'ok let's try'. There were silence for about 30 seconds. There is nothing that I share in common with the finance ladies/guys.
This got me thinking. Why lar? After a few minutes of reflection, I have few hypothesis:
1) I am tired of talking serious stuff. I have enough sh*t to think about and I do not need to talk-shop while having lunch.
2) Nobody wants to 'lead' the conversation. So, I take it upon myself to start talking about things that of interest to me. I could talk about sex, but I do not think it is the right forum.....
3) Age gap. Some friends of mine are 'older' and more 'mature' and the subject they normally engaged upon are of no interest to me. Who cares what time the sun sets?
No biggie. Just some thought on why we connect better with some and not others. I call it 'same frequency'

Procrastinate

I have to admit that at times I am a slacker. There is this report due like last month and I am still 'not doing it'. Under normal circumstances, I am quite quick with such things but this one is a drag.
This paper is worth USD1.8mil to somebody. It has been waiting for a month, another day won't matter.

Familiar Feeling
I have been missing from going-to-Sunday-market-scene for a while. This morning I was at the market and the nasi lemak seller said "lama tak nampak? Pergi mana?". I said "cuti" without actually wanting to explain any further. Then he said " biasa?" refering to my nasi lemak. I smiled.
There is something comforting about the whole thing.

Fast & Furious TT
Damn good TT last night. Felt like I was at Fast and Furious movie set with wild cars, loud exhaust, cool body kits, rare Subarus, Subaru on steroids and 1 Skyline GT-R (ex-subaru guy). The only thing missing was the ladies. None was around. (They might puke if they followed us last night hehe)
As normal Subaru TTs are quite fun. Last night was no exception. The secret location was unveiled at 9:30pm. We are going to drive to Putrjaya via the new highway. Wohoo.....
There were 20 cars last night. Andy brought his 3yr old kid. (He has a racing child seat if you must know). After a quick chat as some of us have not met since last year, we were off. The convoy was led by an Evo 8 (Uncle H). The last car was Fuji and middle was Adil. (Last car suppose to ensure no cars as left behind at any point during the journey)
In our convoy, there is one rule - do not overtake the lead car (in this case an Evo 8). The lead car will set the 'pace' of the convoy. Legendary car Subaru STI Spec C Type RA (a mouthful I know) cannot make it due to a puncture detected at rv place. Uncle Shah went home and join the crowd with his Merc later that night.
10:00pm, off we went thru Damansara, Jalan Duta, Jalan Tun Razak and a couple of tunnels later we found ourselves on the new highway (via Jln Chan Sow Lin). From my rear view mirror I can see Subaru's all the way back. Yes, we are a disciplined bunch (at that moment)
Went thru the touch & go and all hell broke loose. We were warned that the first 2 corners are a bit sharp (2 cars got into an accidents recently around the area - not subaru). Everybody drove carefully but man was it fun. We overtook cars left right and center. The lead car set the pace. We were traveling between 160-180kph (at some point I reached 200). Everybody seem to 'test' their car against each other and the exhaust music reverberate from our scooby's were fantastic. The new highway was awesome as well. Some sharp corners, lots of straights and smooth.
We reach our destination and had teh tariks and stuff. We left at 12:30 and made a stop at Pertonas station when five-0 (police la) came. They thought we were racing in Putrajaya (how dare we..heheh...not in Purtajaya la, too many traffic lights). Uncle H kow-tim the five-o and we convoy back half way before everybody goes separate ways. I and 10 (his plate number) convoy back to Shah Alam.
It was a good night for all of us. No engine blown, no speeding tickets, no roadblocks, no accidents and best of all - we are all still in one piece. Can't wait to do it again.

How many la?

There are 3 Starbucks in Berjaya Mall, 2 in Pavilion, 2 in 1Utama, 2 in KLCC and the rest of the mall would probably have at least 1. Why do we need more than 1 coffee shop in a mall? I am guessing that they want to get people at different location within the same mall. I am not complaining. I am an addict.....
I have been doing some calculation I would normally spend RM256 on coffee a month. (20 cups of coffee x RM12.81). That's RM3074 a year. That's RM9223 for 3 years. Wow! It's not as expensive as someone's handbags but it is a handsome amount.
I was introduced to Starbucks in 1997 and have not looked back since.
Am I addicted to coffee? Yes.
Can I live without it? Yes.
Do I want to? No.
Illegal?

In the past few weeks newpapers have been reporting that Singapore will be changing their law on oral sex. Honestly I thought only Singapore would be anal enough to make oral sex illegal. Malaysia has one too!!!
I am pretty sure that the law is absurd as most people would ,at some point in their life, have tried to engage in oral sex with their partner/love ones. Some might find it to be enjoyable (yes some people are really sick ....hehehehe).
I do hope that they change this laws and other ones as well. Else half of Malaysian will be in jail and the other half are busy trying to catch people in the act. The economy would collapse as nobody will be doing anything else...just kidding

Good Day

Today is a good day for me. My team told me that we are half way to our target. That's RM100 million. Imagine if I are rewarded 1% of the savings.
For RM1million I could buy:
1) Another Subaru Impreza v 10 -- $290K
2) Another house -- $500K
3) Another holiday -- $30K
4) Big party with staff --$5K
and still have enough left over for car accessories and savings.
Taking a Break

I needed a break today. So I left office and went for a coffee place in KL. After 1 hr, I managed to review a report for Friday. That was very productive. I am suppose to do more reports but I thought why not take a break and blog a little.
Called my workshop and they told me the car will be ready on Friday. Cannot wait for my baby to be good again so that I can be bad...hehehe
It is good to be here. I miss KL life sometimes. People I observed are always in a rush. There is always something to do, bus to catch, meeting to attend, traffic jams to avoid etc etc. Sometimes it is nice to sit down quietly and observe people.

TV Show

I reached home at 9 again today. Yes, skipped gym again. I gave up. I will go when I can..maybe tomorrow.... yeah right)
Trying to unwind after a hard day work, I received an sms asking me to watch channel 702 (Oprah - For men). The first thing I heard when I switched was "erectile dysfunction". Okayyyy... no problem there. Then they talked about needing a gas to have an erection. Interesting!! I think at this point I will let Grace to blog about it. She took notes.

Missing Workout

I have been skipping gym lately. Actually I have been skipping for 2.5 weeks now. Sh*t. I have been slacking (although it's true that's life and work have been very very hectic - it's 8:45pm and I am still in the office now)
To think of it, I have been going to gym since 2004. The 'trigger' was a visit to doctor in the same year. He said that I have pre-hypertension and I could be dead if I do not change my lifestyle. I was working with a consulting company and was traveling quite a bit. Stress+Food+No Exercise+Gene= hypertension......
What would you do if you get this advice? For me, I quit my job, exercise, eat less and repeat (except for quiting - I did it only twice since then). Granted, I do not have the best bod given that I have been going gym for few years. I was not doing it to get buffed or anything nor do I think that 'my body is a temple'. I just do it to reduce my blood pressure and look at women. (20% of female population at the gym are in the 'hot' category)
To get 'buffed' you need passion and time. I have none of those. My passion is towards my car and women (not in the hamsap way la). I believe that women don't generally like muscled-arnold-like man. They like athletic man. Muscled man don't have time to focus on the women. They focus on themselves too much.
I will go to gym tomorrow.

Movies

Over this weekend I watched 2 movies (DVD) ...mainly out of boredom. The first one was The Kingdom by Jamie Foxx and the Alias lady (can't remember her name - Garner something). It was a good movie by any account. There's drama, blood, tears, bombs, guns, car chases and a prince.
Then there is the other one, titled "Once". Now this is not a mainstream movie. It's one of those artsy type that was shown in Sundance Movie Festival. This is a good one. It is a story about a vacuum-cleaner-fixer cum street-performer that sings popular/familiar songs during the day (in exchange for spare change) and his own songs at night.
(Synopsis below copied form Sundance website)
"A Dublin busker, who ekes out a living playing guitar and repairing vacuum cleaners for his dad's shop, meets a young Czech immigrant who sells roses on the same street. She likes his song, and what's more…she has a broken vacuum cleaner! They soon find themselves playing music together in a nearby music store (since she can't afford a piano, the owner lets her play his floor models). Over the course of a week, they form a musical rapport and, newly inspired, decide to record an album.
Once may loosely be classified as a musical, but it has a refreshing vérité inflection. Conceived by director John Carney as a "video album," it sports a scrappy, unembellished naturalism. Carney took a risk in choosing professional musicians over professional actors, but Glen Hansard (of the well-known Irish band the Frames) and Marketa Irglova (a Czech singer/songwriter) are not only remarkably charming together but they're equally adept with the more melancholy shades (Hansard's lonely soul, stuck on an old flame; Irglova struggling to support a mother and daughter). Burdened and brokenhearted, their musical bond is the heart of the film and of their love.
Great music aside, what makes this film special is how little effort it seems to exert. If it's possible to be blindsided by simplicity--a light touch, Once does it.— John Nein"
Sweet movie.

Accident Again

It started as a beautiful day. Woke up at 10 (quite late for me) and had 2 nasi lemak bungkus (yum yum). Went out to my dental appointment and drop by at Sunway to check out the latest performance part. That's where the sh*t happened.
I was looking for a parking spot and saw one across the road. I drove slowly and when I was about to turn in, a bike ran into my car from behind. He thought I wanted to go straight and did not expect me to turn in. The front and back door 'kemek' and side skirt damaged. (expletives!!!!)
I notice a side of me thats new. I was as cool as a cucumber, no anger, no increase in heartbeat per minute, no sweat. I asked the guys if they are ok and they said they are fine. I told them "good". WTF!, here I was, standing next to my subaru with dented doors and sideskirt and said "good". The younger me would have probably argue with the guys on whose fault it was and blah blah blah. The younger me would have been extremely upset about the car and would not be able to sleep tonight. Instead, I am as calm as the dead sea. I drove straight to my dentist office.
After my appointment, I sent the car straight to my workshop and met the owner (who happens to own a Subaru Legacy B4). Ah Piew is a nice guys He told me not to worry about it and he will get his staff to fix my car like new (almost like new la). First assessment damage is about RM700. I asked for some discount and he said said we have to wait till the job is complete. I will get my car maybe next Thursday.
Well folks, 1 thing for sure, I am more mature now....

Hot Video of 2008
I watched a copy of a very hot video. Well all I can say is that she is very good at what she does. No wonder a man can admit to the world for the lapse of judgment (or temporary insanity plea) and leave everything behind. Let me try to provide some play-by-play of the snippet:
1) She has notebook on the bed (I am guessing that it's porno playing)
2) She kept moving the notebook around to let him see it while they were at 'it'.
3) She wears g-string and bustier (not too sure what it's call). Very classy.
4) She does a fantastic oral (based on my opinion la). 4-5 times but who is counting
5) She is a bit too professional from my perspective for a personal friend
6) He is such a typical 'uncle' but very energetic indeed when the need arise (no pun intended)
7) I have suspicion that he wears no prophylactics (a no no unless you are monogamous)
8) The total action time might be 15min or slightly more
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. A play by play to the hottest video in 2008. He is a good man and he follows my personal believe system "berani buat berani tanggung". I might modify it to: "berani buat berani tanggung...at least, make sure you enjoy while doing it".

Root Canal

Lately I have been having problems with my lower left tooth (Dr call it "lower left 6"). It seems that there is a hole that is so big you can park a minibus there. I am no sure how it turned so bad but I am guessing that diet coke might be the culprit.
Anyhow, yesterday I went to see panel doctor and she was 'rough'. I love a bit of roughness on bed but as a dentist, that is the last thing you would want (trust me). She injected anesthetic to my cheek and asked me to wait for 10mins. After a while, she started to clean my teeth and it was damn painful (with a capital "F"). I guess she saw it on my face and body movement that she stopped to asked if I am ok. Told her that it's very painful and she said "well how?"Bastard, I asked for another appointment and told her I got stuff to do. I am never gonna come back there.
Today I visited my personal dentist, he is a cool guy. Told him my problem and he explains to me what's going to happen. He took an x-ray of my tooth and told me I need to do a root canal. For temporary measure, he cleaned the cavity and put cement on it. Gave me some painkiller and asked me to come back tomorrow. Everything was painless and fast.
It is gonna cost me 800 bucks for the root canal but I think it is worth it. I will never go back to the b***h.

Conversation Cures
I was in a seriously foul mood this morning. It is the first working day of the year and I got shitloads of work to do (it is normal). Basically, I was not a happy camper.
I put in close to 11hrs today and the results are not impressive. There are too many distractions and sometimes I wish these people would go away and bury their head somewhere it belongs. My head is still not screwed on properly. Multitasking is not my forte especially if I need to put some effort to think and gather my thoughts
In the evening, I had this nice conversation with a friend of mine. It relaxes me a bit. Sometimes, I just need somebody to listen and respond back. The conversation does not have to be on something serious. Anything that takes my mind of work is good enough. Thank you.

Paris Hilton

Yes, her grandfather is so ashamed of her that he donated 97% of his money to charity. But I am not taking about her wealth or lack of it. I read news today and saw this quote from her
"A women needs four pets in her life, a mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed and a jackass to pay for it all"
She is a smart one (instead of all her dumb acts in Real Life)
Stolen Car

Another Subaru was stolen this week. A forum member lost his Subaru in his condo in OUG. A month ago, another member lost his limited edition Subaru S204 from his condo as well (only 500 units were ever made). I guess all the maintenance fee we are paying to condo management are not put to good use. This is bad news for people like me.
I kindda understand the feeling of loosing one's pride and joy. Once I parked in KLCC (6 or 7 years ago) and I forgot where I parked. I instantly assume my car was stolen. The feeling is horrible to say the least. Apparently, I parked on the other side of the parking bay and because I was not paying attention, I assume it was stolen. I was driving my white Ford Laser then.
Nowadays, I am very conscious where I parked my car. On normal days, my Subaru is wrapped with a car cover. I use it only for weekends or on special occasion. My daily drive is now my trusted Limited Edition Gen2 (above)

Sex Video

This is the hottest subject since the welcoming of the new year. I understand the why it is a big deal, because he is the minister. What people don't realize is that men basic needs are food, shelter clothes and the need to procreate.
Most men are driven by these basic needs. They are born with with the genes to procreate with as many women as they can to have as many offspring's as possible. That was in the past. In 20th century, men do not need to have as many offsprings as before as the mortality rate is much higher. So what does a man do when his body wants it but culture does not allow for it? This is a tough questions to answer. Some answers are better left unsaid.
For our minister, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and someone wants to make an example of him. At least he has the guts to admit and apologize. I can imagine the kind of jokes already in circulation. (hope he wears a condom being a health minister and all)
Personally, sex between consenting adults are not wrong (please don't judge me for this statement). Sometimes, there are chemistry between two people, they are comfortable with each other and would like to share something intimate. Nobody should judge these two individuals.
1st January

Woke up in the morning with 3 messages on my mobile and 1 miss call. It was 10:30am and I was still in bed. Damn fine start for the new year. I think I dreamt of something last night but cannot remember what it was.
Coming back to those 3 messages. They must have been stuck somewhere in the Telco's infrastructure and was disseminated this morning after a profitable night (am guessing that millions of well wishes were sending messages last night). Few friends sending new year wishes.
Got my ass of the bed and to the shower and got another miss call. It was my relative trying to find a car accessory shop to fix his car headlights. Called him back and went to show him a shop nearby my place. Then, I had breakfast with him and hear his stories. Left the mamak at 11:45am.
Pump petrol, eh..thought the petrol price went up? It was just a rumour. Hehe, maybe after the election the price will go up. Applied Pertonas Mesra card - just in case I can win the Subaru STI (the Petronas contest now currently running). Winning the Mitsubushi Evo or BMW is not that bad either. Told myself to keep on dreaming.
Feeling bored, I decided to watch DVD - The Marshall. It was an inspiring movie. It was about American Uni football team and the football crazy town. No nudity.
Then here I am blogging my first day of this new year and I left a message on Grace blog. Damn good boring start for the new year.
