Face the Truth, Young Man...

Well, I sure am updating d blog rather sparingly... haf to improve on that. :p

A few turning points in my life happened... Well, recently I saw off my best friends at the airport, as they fly back to their hometown to start the next phase of their lives. Working time for Boon Boon, as well as Chong I suppose. I wish them the best of luck with this. As much as I try to hide it, I can't deny that I was sad on that day. It was a deeply felt thing, but thankfully I didn't show it to them. I don't want them seeing me cry as they leave. I mean... heck, I wouldn't wanna show that I didn't have any improvements on my self... I'm all grown up now, I'm not some immature boy some people have led to believe. I wanted them to leave, happily with no regrets leaving KL and working in Miri. Who wouldn't want to work near their home, eh? :-) Loon-Loon was there with me seeing the off too, but she could see my sadness. I really wonder how :-o But she sorta cheered me up, and we sorta went our separate ways too after that. But that's not the end. No no... Thank God for the internet, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, DA and Blogspot~ :-D

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

Speaking of DA I haven't uploaded anything on DeviantART since Chinese New Year... betta do something :p Recently before the Formula 1 race in Sepang, there was a classic car show in Dataran Merdeka, the heart of KL. I was lucky enough to attend... I never did the previous 5-6 years or so... It was really fabulous, there were tons of cars I always wished I could see in the flesh. There were more than a dozen Rolls Royces (I managed to TOUCH them!!!), a couple of Jaguar E-Types, a couple of Alfa Romeo Spyders, two Ferraris (one a Dino and the other was a Testarossa, which wasn't a classic but awesome anyway), numerous Austins, a Fiat 500, a number of Aston Martins, a really old truck (way cool, with it's barren dash, wooden plank floor and wooden rims!) and many other oldies... It was an awesome experience I couldn't forget! Guess where I'll be wanting to go same time next year? :-D

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

The same day I went to Times Square (love that place), and watched the movie Robots at IMAX. Was totally awesome... the animation was super smooth, but the details and chrome, shiny bits were in abundence! Too bad it wasn't a 3D experience :-p Later in the day, my mum got me Bakuretsu Tenshi (or Burst Angel), which I had waited a whole year for it to come out! It was way expensive, but my mum got it for me. I was so happy ^-^ Watched a few episodes so far, I can say it's top-notch GONZO anime... cute girls (they all are really cute, not the menyampah type...), smooth animation and awesome, eye-popping 3D cell-shading for the mecha (almost a new design for every 2 episodes or so...) It's really wow! Go watch if you have the chance! :-p

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

Hmm... what more... aha, the SRM (Satria Replacement Model) and TRM (Tiara Replacement Model) were recently spotted undergoing winter testing in Britain! Here are some photos posted on the Autoworld website. Way cool... :-p

Hope they launch them soon... they're kinda way overdue. And where's the Waja facelift? And the Proton Supercar/Ultimate? :-o

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

Ok, what else ar... oh yeah, my friend Annie got me a Limkokwing sticker! A big one summore... I didn't really expect to get one, I just asked her in case she could get one :-p I just love car stickers for some reason. I've got a huge 'The Incredibles' one with Violet on my 155 now... hee hee... I passed her a little purse I found in my hometown. It just caught my eye and I remember she liked keroro ^-^ So I got it for her. Glad she liked it...

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

Work, well, sad to say I haven't been so lucky with it... Still have no job... Annie, Kelly, Val, they all have jobs. Me, I sent numerous applications and went for 4 interviews. But still no result... Maybe I'm not trying hard enough lei... But I'm not gonna give up, no no... I'll keep trying. Pray that I'll get a good job with an established firm or company kay? :-)

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

Glad grandma's fine now. I prayed and cried a lot back then, made me feel closer to God. I admit I'm not that close to God at times, I pray that He'll open my heart more and guide me. There are times I just need a moment to see the sky or the sea, and I'll remember the wonders He can do. He's always going to be there, but it's just me that has to remember. Sometimes I wonder why He doesn't answer my prayers, but I realised that there is a reason to everything. The best example I guess is my big crush last time. Tue enough I loved her so much, but I began to realise now that I might be loving her blindly without knowing her enough. I can imagine a relationship world be dead boring and possibly incompatible if we two didn't know each other enough... I have this online friend that I admit I know much better than my crush. Well, I pray to the Lord that He'll let me meet a suitable partner soon...

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

Hmm... what else to say... well, I admit I like to talk a lot. I'm really happy to be with friends cos I get to talk. I can go on and on... That's why I was quite sad when college ended and most of my friends went their separate ways... and also some who went back to their hometown, be it China, Botswana, Batu Pahat, Ipoh or Miri... but I do hope we keep in touch, and as for me, I'll have to move on, find new friends to babble to :-p Well, there's always my new friend who I chat often on ICQ, think about it, I haven't chatted with her for a while. Well, I'd better stop here before I go to far. Till next time then, PEACE and God Bless!

PS: I fixed a bug which caused people to not be able to send me comments! :-p silly me...

Grandma's OK! yay...

Good news, my Grandma's been discharged from the Johor Bahru hospital... Drove her back to my hometown, now she's being taken care by my relatives there. It was very emotional as the whole family was there at JB, and we all prayed that there was no need to use a pacemaker for the heart. Thankfully God is good, all blessings be upon He. Her blood pressure stabilized, and she recovered nicely. It's just like a miracle... And many countless thank yous to all who've prayed, I dun know how else to thank you all. PEACE and God Bless!

Life...

Life's pretty hectic, been busy sending and fetching brothers from school and tuition classes... sigh... Applied for job in a number of places, still awaiting calls... x_x Hopefully I'll get a nice job somewhere...

Redesigned my Juara Club logo... Just slight revisions, making it look neater and nicer. Hope to have t-shirts and cards printed soon, so that the next time Proton organizes an event, we'll look like a club :-D Go visit our Juara Club Site at http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/protonjuara Hopefully I'll get a domain name for the group, but that'll also mean making the site from scratch, and not relying on Yahoo!...

Now playing Final Fantasy VII... Somehow managed to make it run on my computer... so playing Cloud, Barett and Tifa now ;-p

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

Finished watching my Po Po Tan and Comic Party DVDs...

*The following may contain SPOILERS of the Po Po Tan and Comic Party anime)

Po Po Tan had a kinda weird ending... happy but sad at the same time... I like the character Meia, the maid (Time Travel Guardian). She's real cool, and can make you laugh despite being dead serious... To tell the truth, the whole anime doesn't make much sense in the end... :-(

Comic Party was pretty good, but in my opinion, the manga was way better, in terms of art and story... the anime kinda ran away from the original storyline, and the characters are obviously based on the manga, but have some differences. Kazuki, the main character, looks real awful and makes you wanna hate him... dunno, just my view :-D Love Yuu of course, she's real cute and cool... and also the dumb Taishi, chanel handbags who's actualy kinda likeable. A personal favourite in the anime is Ohba Eimi, the irritating self-published manga artist... she's cute! But very insensitive to people's feelings... The ending's pretty open, maybe so that the viewer can imagine something on their own... or maybe a sequel? I can only hope :-D I'll be continuing the manga then... if I can find them, that is...

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

Oh well... what else to say... me feeling rather up and down lately... and believe me I dun like it... wish I could have a friend to talk to about it... :( sigh... anyways, till the next blog, PEACE and God Bless...

Festivals, Events and News...

Sorry for the lack of updating... I'll try my best :p

Chinese New Year came and went, it was real nice as I always look forward to family reunions as well as oh-so-wonderful grandma's cooking :D This year's celebrations were a little special, as it's the first time in 30-something years in which the Chinese New Year is celebrated back to back with the Muslim New Year of Awal Muharram. Watched a lotta TV, had visits from guests, angbao and all... visited temple and paid respects to grandpa. Miss him a lot... My uncle bought me an air horn for my car... totally awesome!

Valentine's day came too... and of course, me as usual have no idea what to do on this day... I also made the silly decision to visit Times Square on Valentine's... Dun get me wrong, I LOVE Times Square, but seeing couples holding hands and smooching at every corner really brings me down to the floor... sigh... Went to Anime Tech, as they had a Valentine's promotion... Bought Mohoromatic Second Season for 20% less, and got a RM8+ Totoro keychain for free :-D now if only I had someone to give it to... sigh... anyway, I felt kinda down for much of the month, chanel handbags and stress seems to have caught up with me... I had a facial outbreak, which I haven't had in ages, but thankfully was controlled with facial wash (hee hee)... lost some hair too (but I seem to always do... need to take care of myself x_x My friend was there to console me online... You know who you are, and I'm grateful. Her advice is really good, although she might not admit it...

Ok.... Project 155 has had some new input... in addition to the nice red airhorns, there's new rubber mats! yippeee.... and also had to change the low lamps due to burn. Changed to Michiba bulbs... This is added to the current list which includes PIAA headlamps, PIAA silicone wiper blades and SPARCO gearknob. Wonder when can I get a job... need to earn myself money if I intend to get myself an Alpine head unit...

My comic is halted for the time being... Currently it has about 13 characters and a basic storyline, but needs refinement as well as proper development. I'm working on a mini comic first, with the two main characters roughly sketched out... will give more info soon... hee hee... I hope to have the flow going by doing this comic, and get used to the momentum of drawing, since it's been years since I did comics...

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

News Updates coming up...

Events events... a few significant car launches soon... end of February or early March would signal the launch of the long-awaited Proton Tiara replacement model... Rumored to be called the "Proton Sassy", I think it looks pretty ok... May would be the launch of Perodua's version of the Daihatsu Boon/Toyota Passo... and July the launch of the Proton Satria replacement model... the end of the year would (hopefully) reveal the next Proton Satria GTi. And adding to this, Proton is going to have it's own SUPERCAR, and rumored to be launched at the Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang... F1! I wanna go...

As for movies, the last one I watched was Racing Stripes... pretty cool movie, very heartwarming. I like the zebra :-D I wanna watch Constantine and Elektra... wow, comic book fever eh? And of course, Star Wars Episode III... how can I miss that?

OK, my Transformers comic producers Dreamwave has closed its doors... sigh, what a pity... I love their art, and I hope new owners Devil's Due will continue them... Transformers the Movie will be produced by Steven Spielberg! yay! Due 2006 or 2007...

Been reading a lotta manga recently too... Read Full Metal Panic 1-3, Negima! 1-2, Comic Party 1-2, GUNNM Last Order 1-2 and A.I. Love You... I heard Japan is screening the animated version of Negima! in January... if there's one anime I look forward to, it's that... pray that's it'll be faithful to the comic... GUNNM the movie is also due in 2006, we all can look forward to that... I have faith in you, James Cameron! And I hope ADV and the LOTR studio doesn't spoil Neon Genesis Evangelion, also due in 2006...

Has anyone heard of Duke Nukem Forever? lol... Originally stared for release in 1998, the game is said to be due in November 2005... let's see then...

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

Oh well, I do blabber a lot, don't I? Well, that's how I keep myself from being upset from my problems... made a few new friends, mostly online. I hope to know them better, as most of those who know me might know, I'm just someone who loves making friends... Till the next blog then,

PEACE and God Bless!
