Exams

2 weeks of exams, 3 weeks of non stop study, I QUIT DOTA FOR IT D:

So I better get some damn good results when they do come out.. or else I'm going to cry like a baby and probably to YOU whoever reads this.

As long as I can get what I aimed for then i'll be happy as this was the semester to finally show my capabilities!

Hard work DOES pay off! You don't get anything for free as they say :x

<3



lies.

Sunshine

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away...

(:

Wait...

Usually I never give a rats ass about the "blog word" that you all do everyday, but I thought this is something that I wanted to blog about (:

Waiting is a function of time and time is limited... very limited.

So make the most of it, if somethings worth your time then do it, if its not don't. It's these choices that determine your path/s in life and be sure never to regret it.



I just thought of this when I was writing it. So make a choice one or the other.. even if it ends like below you should never dwell on the past but rather look forward to the future (:



I'm realising this more so than ever with every aspect in my life. Its the journey that makes life worth living, not the destination.

Expectations

If you aim high, you will inevitably shoot low.
If you aim low, you will inevitably shoot high.

Expectations do this to us.

Girls

So I finally figured out a way to categorise girls.

Basically u have 2 categories:
Discrete and Continuous random variables (or in which case gets replaced with girls)

Discrete = many chicks over 1 day, i.e. good for one thing only.
Continuous = 1 over many days, i.e. good for long term relationship with many things.

EVERY chick will be in either category, its a mere matter of where in the distribution they sit :)
------------------------------------------------------------



So now we have a discrete distribution (in this case I will jew Bernoulli), the girls sitting here are only good for one night and one night only, nothing long term hell nothing short term, maybe even just something good to look at. What I mean is up to your digression but yes, it is simple, if you look around for these "one night girls" there are many and what this graph represents is that over time the E(X) of the girls will obviously be at the middle, an average if you will. And looking around there will be few epic ones! and few epic wtf ones too.. You might be thinking but hey ea! your standards are wtf high! So that's why "MY" graph is positively skewed, i.e. the bell curve is more the the left... i.e. there are a WHOLE lot of ave girls in my books.. so if you make it above my given miu, feel special as you beat a whole lot of competition :) But saying this, a desperate guys curve will be negatively skewed where everything and everyone he sees is great! and above his miu! (which is sad but in the real world it happens)




Now for girls which would be good for a relationship "only", would sit in the following distribution, the epic ones would be at a greater positive sigma/standard deviation away from the mean (i.e. to the right) whilst ave ones to the left.

But don't get me wrong, sitting at a good place far right or an ave place far left doesn't constitute anything in a continuous distribution as shit happens. For this one girl emotions will fluctuate between the "steady state" (miu) and any place along this distribution and at the end of the day all these fluctuations will follow a normal distribution, to which you will arrive at a long term miu :) (not thats a bad thing of course, more of an economic equilibrium where you are content)


So what do we learn from this? When you're in a relationship there's always going to be ups and downs but more to he point, you will be at a content state one day in the future as you learn to appreciate each little thing. However, when all you do is go out to get "some" there are no downs nor no real ups. If anything its the same shit over and over with nothing to really show for it.

Fruits

Durian: Best when sweet and fresh
Mangosteen: Best when you can get your hands on it
Persimmon: Best when in season
Watermelon: Best served icy cold
Pineapple: Best FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE
Apple: Best cos that's you ness :D
Orange: Best cos that's me :D
...
Strawberry: That's a slut :x

Drive

Free..One Day.

Money!

I'm poor as of now and need to pay off a lot of things. I am trying the "do not spend anything on my car" until I get a lot of things paid off... However I broke that today and I think I will continue to. So I will keep a tab here:

$100 on a newish center garnish

I also need to save save save! for that Taiwan trip end of year for my Chinese study/Vac work in Taiwan :) So will be struggling to make ends meet end of year. So its up to all of you to make SURE i don't recklessly spend on my little red car :$

眼镜

So.. I lost my glasses officially today. Not at Tim's (Happy Birthday for the last time til next year), Not in Geng's car, Not in Meng's car.

:( A little bit of me died inside... why? Think about it long and hard... These glasses were the beginning of a new me, a new "ea". As soon as I got them, I became a new person really. A new lease on life filled with happiness, energy, drive, aspirations and dreams. It was you mr fob glasses. But I think what I hold most dear to me is that I stopped being a woof woof dog and became a f'kn BRO, and I'd like to thank you for all supporting me when I wasn't one.

So what now, Do i just simply BUY another pair of glasses? Do I still need those glasses to be "me"?

mmm :( I miss you my fobby glasses oh so very much! You made be realise in life there is so much out there to experience and I will never forget you~!

Ken Leee tulibu dibu douchyouuuuuu~

Must definitely give a shout out of appreciation to Eileen, Naijiao, Danica and Leong for constantly coming with/picking me up from that godamn place in Kelmscott :)!

21st Part 2.

So.. Sunday Was the most epic night ever! It was awesome seeing everyone (bar a few that didn't show YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE :@) come and dress up just for me and sago :$ It was a very memorable party for me as it is the ONLY real proper birthday party i've ever had! So thank you to everyone for coming and making it something special!

Monday comes.. I had to do that hair comp for Vicki in which she won all 3 categories she entered! So congrats to her! which also made Monday an epic day too! (cos I do some epic scarf pulls)

TUESDAY Comes... best birthday ever! Thank you for everyone's best wishes.. and who ever came to tav.. ILY!

Special shout outs to(ok its quite a few people but you know it)

Eileen for taking my shit esp on Sunday AND Tuesday! (as much as i don't act it I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING CARE OF ME RAWR! <3)

Sago for HAVING the party with me! I know I was a pain in the ass but its over! and I hope you have had as much as a geng time as I did at the party :)

Naijiao Bo for being one of the most reliable bros ever. Seriously... If i ever need someone to count on it will be you.

Meng for making one of the best speeches ever! Loved every moment of it and I cannot fathom how much blushing face I have for you :$

Bran for coming all the way from Curtin to get smashed with me on the Tuesday. Bro bump you know it ;) Muk from Murdoch and Poor little Angel for smashing 1 glass of beer for me :D

Danica + Jas for being the best friends that actually made my costume so it would be geng for my party!:$ LOL

21st! Part 1

So kicking off this weekend is undoubtedly the best 21st birthday of the year (confirm geng) and am extremely excited as all the prep work is finally (ok almost there) done~! *yay *cheer!
I just hope it meets everyone's expectations!

Now on a more serious note...

Microeconomics:
Luxury vs Necessity and Elasticity.

If epsilon is greater than 1, then the good is a luxury
If epsilon is less than 1, then the good is a necessity

Going by this, Say if we use the analogy of Air con (A necessity as deemed by ALL OF YOU) vs Clutch ( A luxury as deemed by ALL OF YOU AGAIN). Then a change income (i.e. chippings :D) would obviously force me to demand it on a luxury good rather than a necessity. Because as we all know.. even if income changes.. demand on INELASTIC goods doesn't change as much as the demand ON ELASTIC GOODS.
Also assuming that a clutch is a normal good... then yes.. that change in income will always increase my demand for it! unlike that inferior good called air con.. where a change in income will in no shape or form increase my demand for it.. rather DECREASE my demand for the godamn thing!

True Story. I love you Economics.

Slap

Why don't you go fuck off then?
You go.
*slap

HOW CAN SHE SLAP.

damn pain one too.

2010

Nattō+Turtle ^^v

What can I say, 2010.. I love you so much! So far, everything is falling into place. I have goals in life, I know what I want and am striving in great leaps and bounds to realise them. Family is great, Friends are awesome, My car (that obsession of mine) is getting some love and now I'm here wandering what the future holds :)

I'm over the moon with where I'm at in life it just feels as though it holds a purpose it holds a meaning, hell I feel like I am worth something nowadays. Its a very warm and fuzzy feeling ^___^

Anyways, all out for 2010, its the year of the geng 21sts (1989's) and the year of studying to chop the rest of my uni life :)
(Study Hard/Work Hard/Play Hard/Drink Hard) yeaboi~

Dear ESS EFF GEE,
You're probably reading this as soon as I posted it sadly
But I dont mind because I miss you too, quite dearly
It's a shame that I decided to not stay long
but think of it this way, it just means I'll sing you that one geng song ;)
You've told me that you were waiting for that stupid bus
and that you would wait and were not too fussed
Better late than never is something you hated
however in this case it was lucky you stayed and reciprocated
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
but too much of it will also make it wander
I knew all i needed was that small push
which was arriving in Malaysia to see you and to smack that geng tush :p (LOL)
Here I am as you are mine as I am yours
together, waiting and seeing what the future holds.

:x

.... Deja Vu

Dear Red Riding Hood,
I have a hate love relationship with you... You're like the needy clingy gold digging bitch that won't leave me alone (tsk tsk sound familiar? ;)), but in the end I still spend my hard earned cash on you. Better thank me for it by putting out you slut ;)

ANYWAYS, So not including the WFC trip, most of my money has been in saving.. for a clutch! However as you do when you're in control with your money.. You see something you like and BAM your bank account dies inside a little bit. Sometimes life just gives you offers YOU CANNOT refuse! And thus the beginning of RRH's revival into something far more epic than what it was in its original state.

Shopping Cart (thats already been checked out mind you)

#1: 16" Rays/Volk Racing CV-Pro (To whom I must thank NAIJIAO BO for driving all the way to Quinns Rock for me to pick these up! :D)

Anyways specs are as follow: Fronts 16x8 +35
Rears 16x9 +38
Sure they are 16's but they will give me that awesome "flush" look that I was after (as in fills the guards) And will take over the piece of crap starcorps I have. Also these wheels weigh in a little over 7 Kg's each! So extremely light for rims :)



#2 Kumho KU36 Tyres (A Semi Slick at an insanely cheap price!)

For performance Tyres you can be easily looking at $250 a tyre.. Hell even the ones I was looking at from Toyo were $450 EACH. But found an epic dealer from the east coast which I can grab my fronts off (215//45/16) for pretty cheap including shipping. Just need to source a (245/45/16) Tyre for the rears when I get back from Holiday :)



#3 Tein HA Coilovers (A harder coilover than the original super streets I was planning for)

I found an INSANE deal for this off MR2Australia and could NOT let this go by! It was like the bargain of the year (thus far anyways :P) Anyways off go the Koni + King Spring combiation to make way for something thats been proven to be good on an SW20 :)



----------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways I still have a a lot of things to buy for my little lovely slut of a car here.
Something along the lines of:


TOM's Body kit


AE111 Steering Wheel


Fujitsubo Legalis R Exhaust


Exedy Sports Clutch


New Gear+Handbrake Boot


K-Sport Adjustable Endlinks (for the Teins)


MR2 Gear knob :)


Apexi Power Intake


Pair of Bride Low-Max GIAS


RDA Slotted Rotors


Gen V Spoiler


HID's :O


Raybrig Lenses


TRD Swaybars


Beams ITB's (Individual Throttle Bodies)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apart from the respray.. Once I have the money and time (+ another car)... the legendary 3rd Gen 3SGTE would be epic.

*Well one can wish can't they :)*

"Chao outside mother fucker?" or not... you ugly mudda bitch

Reality Check

So I finished work and had supper with Naijiao, Andy, Viv and David.

On the way home on Canning Highway near Curtin, I hit a traffic light, and as you do I stopped and waited there.... To my left was one of the nicest and fastest bikes you could ever lay eyes on, a Yamaha R6 (0-100 km/h in 3 seconds...).
Anyways I take some notice but not a lot as the lights go green...

I'm driving down at the speed limit and in my rear view mirror I see a single light turn into the same street i.e. the bike...

It sped up and tail gated me til the next set of lights where it split into 2 lanes... controlled by another set of traffic lights. (which went red)

So I'm waiting checking out this awesome bike next to me and having a cheeky grin because I absolutely love the look of the Yamahas and wanted a bike myself sometime a bit earlier in the year...

So the lights turn green.. I wait, as I know there IS NO point even trying to race a bike. I did not give in to his provokes, the revs of the bike, the nod of his helmet... the lights turned green and we waited there.... a second or two passes and he's like fuck it and absolutely mashes the throttle.... I see it and am absolutely amazed at the acceleration, and sound! Something I've never seen before! Easily over 180 km/h, he just kept GOING!

As I watch him afar into the distance... his brake lights disappear... I think to myself holy shit hes fast .... however at the back of my mind I knew something was up, I knew that something bad had happened...

I approched to where I last saw him.....

I see on the other side of the road... a $20,000 bike laying there... and the rider lying there unconcious and not moving at all. He is badly scathed and was soaked in blood. His shirt literally deteriorated..

I swear profanities (as you do) and put on my hazards and run to him. I shout out "FUCK are you alright?" I try to get a response and continually ask whether he wants an ambulance or not...I didn't know WHAT to do!? Was he ok (Probably not after going that fast)?, Was he dead? I just was blank.. It was so mind blowing!

LUCKILY at this time and where he was lying, an off duty ambulance officer drove past in a small jeep!

With an ambulance officer there to know what to do really helped.. the guy drowsily woke up ando came to his senses, at this time he was swearing many FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK's and told us HE REALLY NEEDED TO GET HOME? All whilst insanely disoriented...
"Don't call the police PLEASE, I'll give you LOTS of money if you can get me and my bike home"

.... I drive an MR2? And the Ambulance officer had a smallish jeep too, so no way in hell could we even load it onto our cars?
I helped him lift his bike and I see him trying to start his poor bike... but wouldnt start? it was like gone... dead?

It was soo lop sided too... one side was so scratched, damaged.. scarred and so insanely fucked up that it wasnt even its proper shape anymore. There he is trying to get his bike going... even though he's in NO CONDITION at all to ride but thats what happens when you drink and drive.. if you get done for, you're fucked as well.

Lady luck was on his side tonight.. the bike started after 10 or so tries and he screamed "FUCK YES", I helped him gather his belongings which were scattered across the road and gave it to him... me and the ambulance officer couldn't have stopped him, it was his choice to go and on 2 flat tyres too... We told him to ride carefully (as he kept insisting his home was very very very very near). But no, this guy after crashing and getting rolled over at 180 km/h still went pretty fast past us.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so I'm pretty shaken at the moment.. I know in my heart that I made the right choice, NOT to race NOT to do such stupid shit on the public roads. But it was scary as fuck, he could have EASILY died. And then what? Would I be blamed for it? No one was there, how would they know that I wasnt the one whom provoked him? A message to all of you with sports cars.. Cool it. Ego is nothing, your safety and your health is more important.

Another thing is, I just hope all of you who drink and drive REALLY know what you're doing. Don't die to stupid shit like this and don't hoon like a douche on the public roads, thats what the tracks, skidpans and go karting are for.

Lastly, Those riding bikes... be careful please, I know that its Perth and NOT Malaysia, but still... (Directed @ you Strawberry) Just take care please?

You may not be so lucky as this guy... Don't forget, your parents raised you and put so much into you.. it would be a shame and the epitome of torture for any parent to see their child die before them.

Christmas comes early for Mister 2

So... Here I am again, most probably deciding that spending money on this car is in my best interest :0 Anyways, as I was selling my AW11 parts... lets just say some offers came up that were TOO good to refuse! That is, genuine revision 5 clear indicators and revision 5 floor mats (very very insanely rare!!!). i.e. I caved in and let my shopaholic voice tell me YES!


The old rank blackened one from the previous owner


The new rev5 clear indicator set :)



Back to what it should be (also rank imo the crystal)



And very awesome car mats :D

I am also amazed at the speed of delivery! I purchased these off ebay somewhat 4 days ago.. and here they are!? Japan to Melbourne to Perth!? The Japanese are toooooo efficient!

Back to the JDM look :)

Anyways thats it for Red Riding Hood for now... as I have to save money for my holiday :) and/or AIRCON :@

Numero Uno DIY

So back in the day (ok a couple years) I changed my dash bulbs on my AW11 from green (stock) to a nice bright blue LED coloured dash. However wanted red and bought these bulbs as well but never bothered to install them!(its quite an annoying job). Luckily enough for me I still had them after I moved and a couple hours of man handling and cleaning later, we go from this:



To a ripped out dash:



To a nice red looking dash :) :



Very Audi I think :-)

Next on the list of easy DIY will probably be the clear front indicators I ordered and the side indicators. Possibly a resand and clear coat of the rear tail lights, A respray of the centre panel, and the painting of the black side strips :).

Aging? Blossoming? Evolving? Growing Up? Ripening?

It's funny the big change that I can sort of see. A lot of us are beginning to strive towards our goals in life? Our aspirations? Our dreams?

Obviously some will make it and some will not but that's not what's important. Its the trying and experience that is! So now, almost everyone's working or wanting to work, be it for a holiday, for their careers, cars, houses/homes, clothes, food etc. etc.
Me? I'm working for my hobby (expensive I know) which is my car, a GENG holiday with my closest friends, Epic clothes (like GENG PANTS), and really can't wait for next years uni semester to come so I can chop it :)
So what shapes us to be the way we are?

The other day I went Go Karting with some fat ugly short shit and it got me thinking... What if I started this when I was young? What if I had that talent, that KNACK for it... but I'd never know would I? I mean all the F1 drivers started karting when they were like 6 or 7. So how did I come to instead do commerce/asian studies than to what I was epicly interested in like engineering? Of course you can't blame your parents,because they just want the best for you. Even if it does mean letting them live vicariously through you, at least they're happy right?



I was talking to an Aunty at work last night, and told her what I was studying, and she said her son was studying engineering at Tafe and that she would never push her children to study things that did not interest them? I was like sure you can let your children do what they want... but in the end without guidance most of us wouldn't be doing so well?

Anyways everyones futures look really bright and I really can't wait to see where everyone ends up :)


MR2:
So like... My car has no Air Con... the Thermal expansion valve is apparently blocked and not letting any refrigerant through to the compressor! So basically its doing nothing and i paid $120 to get that checked!? then another $600-$800 to get THAT fixed and that might not even fix the problem! Luckily enough Ness can get me GENG discount ^_____^v.
Hope I have air con soon... I'm sort of baking in my red riding hood..

PS: Anyone want an SW20 for 7.5k? ;)
