* New nickname *
I planned to complete my holiday homework today but instead spent the whole day out so i didnt do it. Then came home and went for a swim downstairs. Today alot of people swimming even at night. I think because the weather to hot and more importantly, humid. Humidity is worse. The swim made me feel much better.My electric saving consciousness has earned me a nickname from ronald on his MSN contact list. "Winston the electric saver". But still, i dont think im overdoing it. This kind of thing, cant be called overdoing. Anyway, i am doing it for the good of everyone, family-father's pocket and society-environmental issues.
Going to sleep now. Havent woken up early for weeks and therefore i have to sleep early. Good night have a nice night.
* End of holidays *
Its kind of mixed feelings... end of holidays and everyone is asking me how i feel... hmmm its really mixed. Happy to see friends again, dreading the hectic life. But compared to primary school P6 i think secondary school is less dreaded. I always felt like the world is ending every sunday when i was P6... secondary school got no feelings.. like the same.Overall i think i made this holidays quite worthwhile.. just that didnt meet marc to go out.. but i did go out everyday. i think 80% of the holidays i was out along orchard road... only the last few days then stay at home more often. Why'd u think i didnt post alot during the holidays. I also did alot of things i ever wanted to do... go karting.. watching dad go over 200kmh in malaysia and making some new friends and bonding friendships. Also got quite alot of new songs to listen to. They're very nice. I didnt study at all this holidays.. except some maths and english tuition, and chinese tuition which i didnt really pay attention to. In fact, i havent completed holiday homework yet.. and im only left with 1 day. How rush. Still got tuesday maths tuition homework.
I went to sell carnival tickets during the holidays too... although i only sold $25 that day and ended up rather frustrated, it was a good experience. But im still standing on my point that Schools like mine have got no morals.
I wanted to write alot of ARTICLES(not recounts) this holiday but its either i got no time or im lazy to do so. So im just writing the titles and chances are i will slowly write them one by one. Some are about global warming too... I don't think i ever mentioned that i am sort of an environmentalist.
1) Use of public buses should be reduced significantly
2)Tyres of lorries should be enlarged
3)Schools have no morals
4)Names of people i am closely connected with
After all, its been a relatively happy and satisfactory holiday. With me managing to shake off the addiction of maple once again... Which is just so very absolutely great (sorry ran out of superlatives)

* MRT Advertisement *
On tuesday i was at raffles place mrt station stoning for 45 mins, looking at the advertisment on train bombing.. i'd like to label part 2 provoking. Well.. it did provoke me into writing this you see... WTF do they get some on that has got the low class 40 year old neighbourhood and the usual act young and cute look... Making it very strange.. wierd...* 1/6 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 GLX *
We collected the first of six lancers yesterday. Actually supposed to be on wednesday.. but dunno why delay to thursday. Also supposed to collect 2 but the car agent rented 1 from my mother so we only came home with one. And i really got to say this-the car is awfully slow. Slower than Fiat Stilo. In Fiat, you can feel a bit of the power... in this car, nothing at all... even at traffic light mother ended up driving like go kart, need to step full so that can change lane before the car beside us blocked our way... I was caught by surprised cos after the collection of car we followed my father's car home and at the traffic light we went off slowly and i thought it was just another of my mother's snail days... then she suddenly exclaimed " wa this car no power leh!!! Step full already!!!" it was true that no power la.. i didnt even feel any backward thrust.. in any other car you step full i end up at the back of the backseat. And stepping full in other cars have been tried before ok.. and i had to hold on tight real tight to keep myself from flying backwards. This lancer, nothing at all... no feeling.. to tell you frankly i didnt even know the pedal was floored already... thats how bad it is... then i called my father(cos we couldnt keep up with him at the light) who was in front of us and asked him how much he stepped he said "normal". just testimony of the car's snailly abilities.. 105 horsepower and the auto gearbox zaps away 40 so we are left with ... 0-100 in? 15 seconds? lol...Wednesday, June 20, 2007
* mum's company *
My mother created a company few months back but we're only really opening it tomorrow. Nothing big.. just collecting the first 2 out of 6 Mitsubitshi Lancers we have ordered for car rental business... It prompts me to think that actually thats no a lot, as many of you may think. Lets do a calculation. Each high end mercedes costs around $300k plus... This Mitsubishi Lancer... $40k X 6 = $240k. A lot meh??? Thats why i think if you want to show off dont buy a Mercedes, by Lancer and you can get 5. People will think higher of you if you say you got 5 Lancers instead of 1 mercedes. This is damn bullshit but truth is who really bothers to calculate. I want to follow her collect the cars tomorrow.* driving *
It has been almost a month since i found out this 14-year-old knows how to drive and has driven and drives regularly. Lets call him A. Then on sunday, i had a second piece of shocking news. This guy, lets call him B, has just tried out driving!! He is 14-years-old too. And that leaves me who hasnt driven :((( Dad always makes fun of my height when i talk about driving. Say what what what..Monday, June 18, 2007
* N-S Highway and Go karting *
Yesterday i had lots of fun in the morning. I woke up at 6am and me and my dad went to malaysia for a fun morning. We went 140km north of the singapore border to this town called Yong Peng for breakfast.Here's the 1st fun part of the trip. We drove the Fiat Stilo since it was never driven in malaysia before. From the start of the north south highway the game was on. The test for the true top speed was on. Of course we have the intelligence and eyesight to read the brochure but we weren't going to take the brochure's word for it since they said top speed was 215kmh even though 215kmh is utterly slow.
Fiat Stilo Michael Schumacher
170bhp
torque i dunno
5-speed Manual transmission
Supposedly 215kmh
0-100kmh i dunno
weight i dunno
not aerodynamically good
red colour
nice looking speedometer with a needle which we know will never get to the end of the speedometer.
SLOW
Thats the specs of this car that we drove to malaysia... so you know how slow it is. You might think im joking when i say 215kmh is snail-ish but hey, im aint joking ok..
Back to my story.
The moment we got into the highway after the toll booth, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. The pedal was stepped hard and we revved damn high.. It was kind of like the moment we got into the highway we tested for the top speed. The pedal was floored a few mins after we got in. And i was setting up the GPS (Global Positioning System). I found out that it cannot note your speed over 200kmh. Anyway, it was quite hard to test. You see, we go, Vrooom.... vroom... 200kmh...202kmh...205kmh... out of road.. got car in front block us. Jam brake... then we around 150kmh.. OVERTAKE!~ (at 5th gear). Drop to 4th gear and rev until like 6000rpm(if u think thats slow then look and see if you even go close to 6000rpm the next time you sit in a car. Its waay above.. Of course we did manage to get to (according to speedometer) 220-225kmh(at that sort of speed sorry we got no time to look ok the next car was right in front) in the end. But this is crap. The diff between the gps recorded speed and the car speedometer speed is 10. So the car overate it by 10kmh.. cheaters.. meaning so its 220-10=210kmh. we proved it to be 210kmh. After a while of cruising at this comparatively slow speed we saw a porsche looking thing through the rear view mirror... me, the passenger who only knows how to get his father to step as much as possible, decided to do my part by helping to look behind by turning my head. And it was a porsche.. in fact, it was a convoy of super cars!!! first came a Carrera 4s, then a turbo, then another carrera 4s, then another turbo and a M Coupe. Next came 2 lamboghini gallardos and 1 Ferrari.. i tell you these things are fast and loud ok... at that kind of speed no joke. They whizz past and make so much noise. Meanwhile.. from the time we saw these cars my dad was trying his best to hold them off which of course, proved to be useless looking at our top speed only being 210kmh(i told you it was crappy). In the end he changed lane and gave way to them and let them pass(still at 210kmh)... still trying to hold them off... time to time going into the convoy and trying to overtake but as i said before we were driving such a slow car vs supercar no hope. The consumption was high at 6.4km per litre too cos full speed normally drains petrol. normal speed consumption would be around 11km per litre if you dont know.
I was kind of regretful in my mind cos i didnt request to drive the E500... i think if we did we probably would have succeeded in holding them porsches, M coupes, lambos and ferraris off looking at that lovely amount of torque that crazy 5 litre V8 produces. Surely enough to give the ferraris some challenge for their day and we can all stretch the car's 'legs'. Then the situation will be much different... 250kmh+++ cruising with these other monsters behind us downshifting and flooring and changing gears while we just floor all the way can liao.
Enough said... now to go karting
I played 4 rounds in all... 10 mins per rounds.. its each round, not each lap. took some short breaks in between. the first round father kept saying i was snailing and asking me why so slow.
second round i went faster and father said can hear more sound but still not fast enough. the third round i saw some guy who works at the track behind me and he sort of motivated me. You see im that kind of person who got too much pride such that i am willing to go ultra fast around corners(turns) just to make sure i dun lose. But i kena jacked... he was just going 1 round and then we went to the pits and all along i thought he was behind me and i just kept going. then i looked back and saw noone. i started cheating myself telling myself that i smoked him. i think i got 2 brains la.. one is the crazy one another is sensible. the crazy one was telling me oh i smoked him and how good i was and how i must carry on smoking him and not let him catch up. Correction: I was telling the crazy one to tell me that i smoked him and how good i was and how i must carry on smoking him and not let him catch up. The sensible one was telling me that he went into the pits and im not that fast. Of course im the optimistic kind so i believed my crazy mind.
Anyway i got some scratches from the go karting. Cos i was so pressurised by my crazy brain i top the hairpin(180 degree corner) at close to max speed and of course i didnt make it cause i was skidding like never before and also the track aint that wide, i had to slow down and what i did was to step the brake damn hard and i, seeing that the tyres to protect you from injuring urself when u crash was just so damn near me, lifted up my right leg and accidentally left it on my types(which were spinning) resulted in a thick black mark on my shoes. But that isnt really my point. I went past some flying gravel at 65kmh that they scratched my leg and resulted in 4 black oil coloured stripes. The gravel hitting me wasnt pain. But being scratched at 65kmh is pain ok.. imagine something flying at you at 65kmh and scrapes some skin. ouch. then also on the go kart there was some screw and my knees were bouncing against it so i went home and couldnt walk properly. It was at the joint u see..
Soon some people started coming to the track and watched them going one round first before i decided to join them and create an unarranged race. So there i was seasoned in the kart with much bravery and unsensibleness to take corners at max speed. Well, i managed to do it though... wasnt that hard...its hard to explain here but if you were me you will know(obvious statement). anyway i overtook all of them snails except 2 which i know i could have overtook them if i got 1 more lap... i was so close la.. like the last section of the lap i was behind them.. even knocked into 1 of them cos he was so freaking slow around the corners. and then it was 10mins up...
Thats all haha long post
P.S. i am not scared of that hairpin anymore!!! in fact im now very comfortable with the kart unlike last time when i was stiff.
* what i have been doing *
I was at google last night having some fun searching things about myself. Not that i dont know myself... just doing some cool discoveries which i havent discovered until yesterday. This was because SOMEBODY said his blog could be found in google when his name was typed. I did a check and really, it was on the first page. I think its because few people have that name. Sadly, this guy prefers not to have his name on google when searched. How i wish i could change positions with him. I want my name on the first page of google search when searched(how egoistic) !!! I then tried my luck searching "winston lee" and all sorts of wierd results came out. Then i tried "winston" and they came out with winston churchill. Then i tried "skylitex". Made my day man... all the results were about me!!! Well... not really. There were 10 results. 7 was me and this blog. 2 was about SOMEBODY having the word skylitex on his blog because i used that name for nokia football crazy and he was publishing the results. 1 was by a ex-guild mate for maple and also my real life friend who posted something about his maple character long long ago and said he was jr master of skylitex guild and so on... After a while i did a search on SOMEBODY'S current alias. E*****E. Man... is he lucky... 11pages of results!!! 10 results for a page for the first 10 pages. 11th page is only 1 result, which wasnt about him. So in all it had a 100 results for the real E*****E. I was like oh shit... i better join more forums and use a trademark. Shit man... he has got 1 trademark for everything(good) while i have many trademarks for alot of things(very bad). So skylitex only had 10 results. winstonlee93 had none... itsmewinston, the one i use for friendster, had 1. Now im thinking of generalising all my trademarks to only 1. So that when ppl want to search for me its easy. i was thinking of "itsmewinston". But after a quick thought i decided not to because that wouldnt be very nice for forums(i dun really like to have my real name on forums). So i think i will change everything to skylitex... and i also dont want to change my friendster to www.friendster.com/skylitex from www.friendster.com/itsmewinston. So i think what i'll do is to write something sensible about skylitex like "search skylitex on google and u find me" on my friendster so that google will have it on their search list. I know this is getting confusing but when the time comes i will make it real clear. Now just get some raw picture of things first.I have been spending most of my time on the com doing a very useful activity instead of mapling. The useful activity in question is watching top gear. Its damn funny. Thus each day i maple very rarely... say... not at all?? Yea... i have totally stopped playing maple like i did last year 2nd semester and this year 1st half. Which is the way to go!! Now that i watch top gear, its not only about cars.. its about improving english. You see, its hosted by British, so english is good. The words they use to describe are so strong. And the funny part... its about jeremy clarkson and co. either making fun of each other or jeremy clarkson himself insulting some celebrity. I have also been reading his book, Clarkson on Cars... which is really funny. He calls digging nose huge excavation projects and that he is very civilised.
Ahhh.... you wont get it.. long story. just note that i have been doing some hard thinking and also reading a book very funny indeed here.
Thats all for now. Read the next post.

* Turning bad situations into funny ones *
I woke up yesterday with the shouting of my mother right in my ears... Errr... no. She was 10m from me but it felt like she was shouting right in my ears. I wasn't particularly happy with her either. Kept telling me that i am not allowed to com. So i decided to make fun of her since she was so easily provoked yesterday. Dont ask me why, i dont know.My plan was to get my phone, do something that will make her nag, then record it. After that, set as ringtone.. message alert.. alarm clock. I know if i set it to alarm clock i will definitely get up on time... as long as i can control the temptation to turn it off. OF course.. my plan was never executed. For i didnt take my phone. Until we finished packing my room(we did some cleaning up), i tried to create a provokative incident(when i had my phone) by saying that the things in the shelf collapsed. Obviously the ground is flat how would the books collapse so she didnt believe. Never mind... next time i will make sure i record it LIVE!!! When she is trying to get me up... ear plugs are put to good use.. the phone recorder as well...
* Watched Fantastic 4 *
Today i went for tuition with my bro at 11 in the morning. slept at 4am again last night by the way. after tuition auntie brought us to great world city and we met my mum for lunch. after lunch went to watch fantastic 4 with auntie and bro.(her movie treat, mum treat lunch) i didnt play the racing game.I got:

* pictures of the last few days of semester 1 *
I havent posted photos of the last few days of school yet. so here you go.. Going to put some youtube vids soon too:)Sad la... holidays so fast going to over... no fishing and soccer yet!!!!!
SOMEBODY took this pic of me... nothing to do ma...
I got jordan to pic me while i was acting writing.
Chad trying to shoot isaac who is holding what he calls, "Stolen Fence". Obviously half his mind was on maple....
* I am going nuts!!! *
Right. Now i can finally blog. Nowadays mother always walk into the room.. then i find it hard to blog.Today was kind of fun. Some real nice happenings and experiences made my day. Last night i ended up sleeping at 4am. Still wasnt tired by then.. just dry eyes but i decided to sleep because i had to hold a viewing for metz at 11.30am. So i woke up at 10.15, got ready by 10.30 and mother dropped me outside graham whiteley's condo so that i could take bus 171 there. I was debating whether to stop at newton take mrt to somerset mrt OR take 171 to opposite taka and then walk. When reached newton decided to walk because i had a waffle in my hand and wanted to finish it the legal way. i.e. not eating on the bus or train. But then it started drizzling and then progressed to raining so i stopped at tangs and took 1 stop of mrt. reached metz and took a few bites off the waffle while waiting for the agent.
after the viewing she gave me a lift to taka... how nice of her... then i met julian outside pepper lunch and then took a cab to great world city and we watched oceans 13. didnt really understand the show but i could kind of figure it out. and the plot of the heist was not bad. kinda loved it. so cool and well-planned. well-executed. smooth...
after that went to timezone and we played initial D then Battle gear 4 which is the most real racing game i have ever played. Gran Turismo is still not as nice, maybe more realistic on the physics part but otherwise Battle gear 4 is better. so fun and real. when changing gear must clutch first. i was quite proud of myself because i thought i did quite well in terms of shifting gears... which is the main barrier for everyone. only the first race i was kind of stucky. screwed up the shifting and all that..- forget to clutch, clutch and shift but forget to release the clutch.. then never brake and all that crap. other times when shifting i always remembered to clutch and release the accelerator(which is the normal way) although sometimes nobody bothers to because first, its a race, or, second, they forget to. then next things to improve are the cornering and when braking must remember to clutch too... so i have this feeling i can actually drive the fiat. haha <----- the arcade driving is the first thing that made my day.
then we walked back to metz.. around 1.2km away and i showed julian around the house and then we went to taka again and he played Gran Turismo HD then went to the atrium and waited for my turn to play ridge racer 7(which is SOMEBODY ELSE'S most hated game). when i was playing everyone started looking cos i was like just drifting so well and i must admit that i was super nervous and my heart was beating super fast because i had so high expectations of myself... other ppl do 1.20min around the course a lap i want to do much faster than them... show those noobs who played that this was a lousy and easy game and they should be mastering it... in the end i managed to do quite well.. cos it was a 1 on 1 battle with the comp, everyone lost sight of the comp within seconds. i never lost sight of it until the last corner when i screwed up and i spun and lost 2 seconds worth of time i think.. which is alot. but in the end i managed to do 3 laps with the following timing.
1.15min
1.05min
1.05min.
others did
1.22+++++
1.20+++++ some even 1.55('champion')
1.20+++++ some even 1.55('champion')
<---- made my day 2.
after that met julians father at mount E and he gave us a lift to his house to play Gran Turismo. i actually finally managed to win him on some races!! <----made my day 3.
so it was quite a good day.. then went to take a taxi to taka again(for the 3rd time) to meet my mother and the china students for dinner. nice. i ate lots of sashimi.
tomorrow i think i am going to wake up early and train some freekick.. if can make another video. i know its not up yet but wait a while la.. thats all... read the bottom. important.
I think i am starting to go nuts: Why? Look at what i am thinking of doing.
1. Travelling Time
I am currently in the stage of researching the grandfather paradox. This curiousity on whether it is possible to travel time was sparked off when my tuition teacher told me that according to Albert Einstein, we could travel time and it was part of physics. This was when she was saying Back To The Future was a science fiction and not a fantasy.
Nuts Rating: 5/5
2. Following the racing line even when i am walking
This is caused by my desire to drive(a real car) and race(a go-kart). So i am sort of practicing the racing line-even when walking.
Nuts Rating: 5/5
3. Saving up to buy a Ferrari
I am currently saving like some scrooge so that i will be ready to buy a Ferrari in the future when i get my license(great day!!) The sensical part of my head tells me this is going to take a million years to save up. The nonsensical part of my head tells me it is a step to buying a Ferrari. Like 1 step closer to buying it. I am leaving my faith in the nonsensical part of my head.
Nuts Rating: 5/5
4. Sneak Driving
I am actually thinking of just getting the cars and drive around my carpark, where there are no police. Moreover i get to hold the car keys more often nowadays. Somemore i got new confidence in driving manual. So whichever car shouldn't be a problem. My father keeps joking that he will have to get ready to let the workshop earn some money and also pay the owners of the cars in the carpark-obviously implying that i will crash for sure-if i really drive. He has also been saying that if the police catches me the police officer's reaction will be like "what is this? A father abetting his son to drive?!" Then when i told him that i could sort of do manual his reply was "Scary". Lol...
Nuts Rating: 5/5
<------Out of the crazy zone------>
I got some nice songs which i like now. Of course those that i mentioned i liked before i still like till now.
You Gotta Be-Desree
Let's Groove-Earth, Wind & Fire
My sore throat is coming back after i ate McWings last night. Ouch...

* Late in the night *
ahh.. the soccer video is up. but youtube is still processing it. probably have to wait quite a while. its 3.31AM now. i know its late... but i just cant sleep. no la this time is not that confused whatever. just cant sleep haha... insomia? lol.. i think its something like not tired. but i slept from like 2am to 9am last night? 7 hours... not particularly long. haha but anyway... not tired.. ronald is behind me playing his maple and doing pq for SOMEBODY'S account. now im very cautious about deep vein thrombosis(DVT) cos 1 guy got it and it sounded scary. oh wells... i got nothing to do but somehow i aint that bored. compared to day time, i guess night less boring.. even though do less things. maybe i am not going to sleep tonight? we'll see... i might end up sleeping right after this post. was watching top gear vids just now... jeremy clarkson is funny. nothing else and im off.. i just miss some people now and really want to talk to them. 1 of them i even declared that i HATE.hmm... wierd. you ppl should know who la... if dunno then sorry i cant tell you. (not sy)night life is fun
* Whats up? *
In this Whats up section i will have some updates in my life.What is currently happening:
1. I am currently crazy over the song Snow(Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
2. I am crazy over Lewis Hamilton
3. I am doing some mini research on time travel. Looking at wikipedia for more info. Its called the grandfather paradox. Here's the URL if you are interested too ---->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox
4. Ardmore Park is the coolest place in Singapore, not Orchard Road. I went to their carpark that day just to see the cars and my oh my... Countless/Lost count
More than 10 Bentleys
More than 10 Ferraris
At least 4 Rolls-Royce Phantoms ( Cost 1.5million)
Alot of BMWs ( i think at least 1 is M5/M6)
Alot of Mercedes
I want to go to Ardmore Park again. It is a condo by the way.
Note: There are more supercars/ ultra-luxurious cars than normal cars
5. I made a soccer video. I will post it here soon. It shows me scoring a freekick quite nicely. Hope you will find it nice and good. SOMEBODY says its nice.
6. My handphone is getting cranky. The joystick a bit problematic. Hard to explain here.
7. I am supposed to go for maths tuition tomorrow(as in today cos its after 12 midnight. The time of my post is accurate). But i don't want to because every time tuition so long. Its like start from the time my mother send me there (3pm) till she comes to pick me up(6pm) then my auntie(yes she is the teacher) will release me. Tomorrow(i mean today) worse. Send me there at 2pm. I requested no tuition so now only Ronald will have to go. I will be enjoying myself outside with my friends!!!
8. On Saturday, i walked from centrepoint to hilton, then form hilton to takashimaya, then from takashimaya to Hilton, then from Hilton back to Metz which is opposite centrepoint. I saw a Vanquish S at the Hilton carpark. The valet says its the car of the owner of the hotel. The valet(extremely lucky guy) has driven it before and says it is nice to drive. And also told me somethings which i am lazy to post here at this hour.
9. I must study soon. Catch up with my work. My mother keeps chasing me to do Majun's (Chinese teacher's) homework cos he told my mum there was work. But i don't remember any homework for Chinese... Oh no...
10. I got something known as asthmetic cough. Day time no cough, night cough like crazy. So i am on ventolin exohaler.
I think thats about all..
* Canadian GP *
Great. I can finally blog. I have been out for whole days for the past few days and therefore did not have any sufficient time for blogging. Its also starting to get rather inconvenient. Don't worry chances of me stopping my blogging is very low because after about 8 months of blogging yea? So its kind of hard for me to quit. Its hard to be separated from something you have done as a habit and moreover when you enjoy it. Now whenever i dont blog i feel something is missing. Like... when blogging you can let out everything. Otherwise if it is choked inside not a very good feeling. Blogging is kind of mass media too... So when i want to throw something out, i dont have to one by one tell people. Can all at one go. But anyway... lets get to the point. SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. This post is going to be about... Formula 1.I knew it. I knew it. Hamilton was bound to win. You know what... in all my 8 years of watching formula 1.. i never really ever supported any driver. OR at least not heavily support. Like Michael Schumacher i was just watching him. Just interested in his driving i would say. I dont really like alonso too... And now.. i have finally found somebody whom i really wish to support-Lewis Hamilton. From the first race onwards i knew he was some sort of talent. They also did a feature on his learning process-through GO-KARTING. But the start of him massively turning my head is at the Monaco GP. Lets face it. I believe he was given team orders-to not challenge Alonso-even though FIA's probe claims otherwise. So he complain, now McLaren dont dare create anything that can spark another of these things. Which is why i know he will win. And he did. See, the conditions are around. He has got the skill, and there arent any obstructions(like team orders). So he won. WE ALL KNOW IT SO LETS FACE IT. LEWIS HAMILTON IS A SENSATIONAL HIT TALENT IN FORMULA 1. BETTER THAN ALONSO. AGREE? I HOPE TO HEAR A RESOUNDING YES. AND I THINK I WILL.. I SUPPORT LEWIS HAMILTON IN FORMULA 1!!!! He said if he were to be given team orders again he will quit. Then newspaper say maybe ferrari will pay him 40 million instead of his 500K. I will support him no matter which team he goes to. Welcome to Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton.

* When can fish? *
Its the holidays you know? When can fish? Actually i think for fishing i am more interested in the camping part than the fishing part. Maybe its both. Confusing haha. Its nice when you get the wind in your face and hair. Thats when the carefree feeling kicks in. Then you can get up anytime you want, pick up a rod, and start jigging then reel in... once in a while go to the end of the jetty check on SOMEBODY who is always trying very hard to catch big fishes using big rods. After a while i go back to my tent and rest, and i get back up again for some small catches. Thats not really what you would call fun, but its what i call,Depressurising
Relaxing
Carefree
I had nothing to write so i decided to talk about my fishing Point of View. WE just need to improve on our jigging and maybe better bait i guess...
P.S. MY ROD IS GETTING RUSTY!!! (Hope you get what i mean)

* Best day since the day I got out of camp & For convenience sake *
Today can be described in 2 words-it rocked. Orchard road is the coolest place in singapore for now. Err... i think you all read my blog long enough to know what la huh... Its totally OBVIOUS. But nothing can get better than this. Read on:2 F430s
1 F430 *Spider
1 Aston Martin **DB9
1 Mercedes-Benz CLK 55 AMG
*Spider=Convertible
**The one in James Bond-Casino Royale
Ferrari F430 is my favourite car. Remember the friend test? Thats the answer. Everyone chose the Lambo lol. I bet if i didnt put Lambo Mu.... LP640 but just put Mucielargo LP640 most of the 'Lambo selectors' would have chosen Ferrari...
The best part about this is the Aston Martin which is super rare. Ferraris are getting common. My conclusion is this. Since these things are so common, one day these are just going to be the norm. Supercar passes by, everyone just goes, "Hey,
CLK 55 AMG... nothing to really highlight but i thought it was worth a mention.
Anyway today I finally realised the total convenience of ***Metz.
***Name of the new house. I decided to put the name of else i would have to keep saying "new house" which sounds dumb and is boring.
Not that I didnt feel that it was convenient before today. I knew that it was convenient and felt that it was convenient, but i didnt realise HOW convenient it was. Centrepoint is just across the road, Somerset Station used as a underpass, and across the road again. All in 5mins. 1 min if you run, and of course, with the traffic lights in your favour. Centrepoint has basically almost all the needs. McDonalds(yes! i went there to get a packet of fries today), Cold Storage, Times bookshop and whatever(i know you have been to Centrepoint). Then there is Killiney Road, where that kaya toast(nothing much) is, then there is a 7 Eleven and a petrol station of which you would definitely go to the petrol station after you see the price of the things in 7 eleven. At the petrol station, you will be glad you have got a smart head after you see the eye-friendly price tags, such that your eyes wont POP out. I got my coke at the petrol station. Then opposite there is a NTUC but i still cant find it(obviously because i havent really been trying to find it).
Then there is Somerset MRT of which you can choose to go Plaza Singapura or Orchard or City Hall(Raffles City). Well, actually you can walk to Orchard, just 10 mins away, just remember to bring your camera(if you get my drift). Thats about it.
My favourite songs at the moment:
Closer by Travis
Somewhere only we know by Keane
Drops of Jupiter by Train

* Plans for days ahead *
I think i might want to do some writing for the days ahead.1. People close to me or around me (this is a hard one)
2. My novel or life story/whatever-you-want-to-call-it
3. Mother's torturous driving
I want to write a lot of things on this page at this moment but then i will get messy. So i think i will do it in stages. Step by step. Tomorrow then write la. Got to get up at 7.30am tomorrow for morning jog. I like anything that has got to do with running or jogging. So fun and nice.
* A lot of time wastage *
I managed to have some self-control today-in terms of not buying cd, not playing maple. I didnt play maple for the whole day today though, except for that 5 mins in the morning. Then went out at noon and came back around 7pm.My mother dropped me off at newton mrt and i took it to dhoby ghout. Because have to wait for some idiot(read on to know why he is one) who wants to view the new house at 3.20pm(it was 1pm at that time) . So i walked around plaza singapura, went to star factory played one race in initial D then spent 30 mins stoning... I dont know why i stoned but i guess i just didnt know what to do. So after that i got out and walked around and i saw Sembawang(the cd shop) so i went in... look around... Then i saw this sony ericsson cd called "I <---Sony Ericsson Logo---> Simply nice songs"... 45 songs in 3 cds... Price: $19.90. Oh how worth and tempting... First so worth, second the songs inside quite nice, then can bring back to the new house and blast it OUT LOUD( only about 3 families have moved into the condo so its rather deserted, no complaints). So i kept debating in my head whether to buy or not. Meanwhile i just walked around the shop looking at albums. I think i spent 30 mins there, walking around the shop thinking whether i should buy or not. In the end i managed to convince myself not to buy for a few reasons:
1. I can live without the album(main reason)
2. I already have those songs in that album, those i dont have can go ask around to get.
3. I dont want to end up spending everytime i go out.
4. I got to save up so that i can buy anything i want anytime
5. Adam Khoo's book tells me to be frugal, spend wisely
So with the above reasons, i walked out of the shop and went back to the apartment because it was almost 3.20 by then.
At the apartment i just laid down on the kitchen table(no other place, dun want to lie on floor) and did nothing. After waiting for like 10mins my mother called me tell me that idiot got change of schedule. I was like waste my time i got better things to do you know. That idiot could have at least say earlier that he busy. Anyway after that i went to julian's house play PS2 and kill time. I met Malcolm at newton mrt bus stop when i was on the way to his house. How coincidental. Then after that around 6.30 mother came to pick me up.
P.S. I dont know what to put for the title so in the end i decided to make a curiosity-provoking one.

* Holidays so far... *
Life is starting to get more and more boring. Its the holiday spell again. Nowadays I somehow keep getting addicted to maple once again. Which is utterly BAD. Because I ain't aching to have my results drop once again just after I got it back up and nice. That is affecting my blogging too, always making me want to play instead of update. Which is why i update so rarely nowadays. And i need somewhere to throw everything out. Thats why i dont close this page. Before you play, when you wake up in the morning, urge is strong. Until the evening, when you finally find that leveling is tough and hard, and there is nothing else to do, you don't want to play anymore. Thats why i am currently updating.I did some reflections this evening when i was just riding my scooter in the carpark trying to get some blood circulation and getting my blogging inspiration and finding my driving force. About how I should be doing anything else besides mapling. Because maple seriously can kill. I thought of Dennis, his last year SA1 so good, then SA2 drop because of maple then now he in B1. How lucky i was to get out of maple in time to come back up for SA2 and now SA1 did well too without playing maple. How close I am to throwing away everything by over-playing maple. Thinking of ways to make me back to the old self,-everything is MSN, blog and friendster. Look at the maple icon first thing that come to my mind is the word "boring". <----That should be the way and the life. I need to find that back so far.
Thus the only solution i can find so far is to get back the life i used to have before the holidays, without school. So it is going out, going out, going out. I am going to start calling people to go out already. That reminds me, i still have yet to sell carnival tickets. So i shall sell them. Looking for people to sell carnival tickets with me. Maybe the driving force for me to get on msn is gone... so the urge to play maple comes back.
I was just starting to find someone hot. Then a relook at her photos totally changed my impression. Now i think she is more of sweet than hot. She is sweet, Shu Yin is hot. Its kind of different. They are both good looking. But they somehow look very different. Just that i think her photos are not well taken. Thats why some look freakishingly ugly while some are sweet. Shu Yin on the other hand is hot. But not very. Just okok, better than average. Also that someone school not so good. Thats the main thing preventing me from liking her. Feeling that someone is sweet or hot is different from liking her or not.
Last weekend Singtel had a promotion selling the Sony Ericsson P990i. Selling $198 with plan and contract. Usual price without contract(from what i see in other places) is $900+. So not surprising, he went to buy. Then can't go internet using the phone so he switched back to his old phone only for these few days when he is overseas. Meanwhile, while he is away, i have got the use of the phone and can use it to surf internet while i am out. Sad thing is somehow i can't find the box where i can log into blogger from there. So i can only surf friendster.
