My patience is waning

I personally hate it when people try and tell me what to do, or when they have that "Oh my way is the best and proper way and everyone should follow it" kind of attitude. Not like i am unreceptive to suggestions or criticisms, it's just that you should never overstep people's kindness and patience, in this case mine. As everyone back home(and a certain few here) would know i have a very short temper, always quick to the fight so what i have achieved since i came to Australia is quite monumental. As a former Patrician whenever an argument came up or if you had a bone to pick with someone it'll usually degenerate into a good ole' fashion fight, which is the way some of us still like it instead of all that pansy like dialogue. Like what was said during the good ole' days, "fight first, talk later". I mean if you have a problem spit it the hell out and don't try and act all nice and understanding, my simple reply to this kind of people is for them to go screw themselves. And to those people who try to act all considerate when all they're looking for is an excuse for their deficiencies or just using it as a cover for their own benefit I'll say grow some bloody balls. If you screw up admit it, if your main goal is to benefit yourself don't make it look like you're trying to be considerate. People who call me arrogant? You don't even know what arrogant means so go fucking read it up in the dictionary again. Think I'm too vulgar or uncivilised? You just don't have the fucking balls to say what is on your mind pussy. All you can do is beat about the bush. In fact if you don't like so many things about me why bother at all? Fuck off. Want to judge me and force some advice onto me? Go look into the bloody mirror first. Normally I'd open a can of whoop ass already, but this time I'm showing restraint, you could be my friend or whatever but overstep the line and pay the price. And trust me it's a high price to pay. You might think I'm just talking big, all talk no action because of how i act all the time, but when the gloves come off don't blame me if you get hurt.

A Lack of Sleep, An Apparent Excess of Free Time, But for how long?

Ah Ha, a very long name, but in reality not much will be written. Wasn't able to get a proper rest since the events of last Friday as one thing led to another. Missed the last bloody train on Friday, Saturday and Tuesday and as a result had to stay up the whole night waiting for the first train in the morning. I am most definitely moving into the city next year, already got the go-ahead from my parents too. Hope this lack of sleep doesn't cause me to fall sick or anything. And since the exams are over I've got some free times on my hands which is being wasted in Australia. There's really not much to do here, play LAN with the kids, out for dinner with the group, watching a movie and going to Crown pretty much sums everything up. Ryan had initially planned for the lot to go fishing but apparently something seems to have thrown a spanner into that as well. I sure as hell am not going to stay put in Box Hill as I'd probably die of boredom if i hung around here any longer. Wonder if going back to Singapore would change anything? Ah well I'll find out when i get back, i just might be bored enough to go looking for a job again. The main attraction would still be Suj's (legendary) annual party! Quite possibly the most entertaining night of the year as every year someone gets shit drunk and runs riot all over the place. Hah last year Suba got so frakkin' wasted this is what he did. First he "accidentally" threw a cup of alcohol at Cabi which crapped up his brand new polo t-shirt. Then he ran into the kitchen and scared Suj's maid out of the house(she ran off to his Aunt's place down the road). Then he vomited in the hall and we carried him off and dumped him on Suj's bed, big mistake as he vomited all over the bloody bed also!(damn sad for Suj man, think he had to buy a new mattress) After that we dragged his arse out into the hall, stripped him down to his pants as his shirt was by then thoroughly screwed by all the vomit, wrapped him in Suj's rather expensive carpet and hauled him off into the maids room where he spent what was left of the night. If you were there yourself I'm sure that you would have wet yourself laughing too, although the part where he started foaming at the mouth was a bit worrying though.....well that's what you get if you drink on an empty stomach boys and girls.

Completing D

Just a short one for ye fellow car lovers and Initial D players, i've finally completed Initial D 4 after such a long while. It was a close battle and i won the 86 at Tsukuba outbound by the tightest of margins. Kudos to my ever awesome S2000 AP1, a great car, whose driver is as of yet still not good enough. With the completion of the game i think i'll revert back to the ole' Integra DC2, just need to change it to manual and i'll be all set. On another note, after testing out the S15, R34, MR-2 and the RX-8, i have finally chosen the RX-8 as the S2000 successor, as in terms of speed and handling the RX-8 has a much better feel. So there you have it, Integra Type R DC2, S2000 AP1 and the RX-8, a formidable line up it is.

Note- With this the entire RX series of cars is now in play, Brendan on the RX-7 FC Savannah, Xander on the RX-7 FD Spirit and my RX-8.

Done Deal

The exams are over, friends are returning home (or for some already left), another year is drawing to a close and merry mayhem is to be had. Sibu Angkau leaves on Sunday midnight, and trailing behind him would be I with my morning flight on the 1st of December (supposedly, could actually be earlier if things go well). I think Ryan and Roaldy leave a week after my departure. So it'll be a right (approximately) three months of LAN-less fun where my life will finally be uplifted from the depts of prepetual LAN based enjoyment. Of course i don't intend of partying my holidays away (as mentioned earlier, straight drinking is off-limits already), i'm probably going to end up getting a job again and trying to fatten up the ole' bank account again. And with the amount of shopping i have planned out i'm seriously going to need it. I have miraculously gotten the green light to go ahead with my 'Modernisation' program which involves me replacing/refitting my electronic devices. As i have planned out all of my electrical devices should remain in service for at least four years before i set about looking for a replacement. This means that my good ole' 6260 and ZEN Neeon MP3 are soon reaching the end of their service life with me. The replacement for the 6260 has already been chosen, the N76. It met all of my requirements of being a clamshell 'flip' phone, 3G and it has to be a Nokia (the operating systems for the other brands just confuse me). Quite the few requirements isn't it? Now the MP3 player poses more of a dilemma, i've recently been eyeing the new iPod Touch, a very sleek device with awesome touch screen interface. But my brother has been bugging me to switch from my ole', sometimes cranky and rather worn out ZEN Neeon to an iPod classic, and for some reason my mum seems to back him up. Now its not like i don't want an iPod, its just that it has two rather irritating traits. First is itunes, so bloody complicated to use, miles apart from the simple and clean drag and drop system of most Creative MP3's. Than theres the price, which is definitely more ex than a ZEN by a fair bit. But Creative MP3's are sorely lacking in the design sector. And i'm trying to keep the cost of the replacements to below $600. Another hefty piece of equiptment which i plan on switching out is my faithful laptop, which although does not meet the prerequisites of being at least 4 years old (special consideration should of course be given to computers) with a spanking new Dell XPS in red. This of course has not been approved yet but i hope i can soon strike some sort of deal with my parents, guess i'll have to let my results do the talking again.

Note- The lot of us had steamboat at Ryan's place last night, and of course the usual rowdy humour and fun ensued. Thanks for dinner and such last night Ryan, and of course thanks for putting up with my usual craziness (it almost got out of hand with the drinking).

Another Resolution, Another Rule, Another Lesson Learnt

Damn my age is seriously starting to show. Getting high so fast from so little, goes to show that my (supposedly) legendary alcohol tolerance is coming to an end. Well good for me anyway, this time helped me to gauge where the line was and not to step over the boundaries of it. Not a moment too soon anyway, i still acted like a dolt, but at least not as big a dolt as on previous occasions. At least now i know when i should call it quits and to throw in the towel. The last time around i limited myself to five glasses, but i think this time I'm going to completely abstain from downing straight anymore. It's bad for the health, it's whacking off my brain cells and I've finally lost that alcoholic feeling. So to hard liquor, i say no more. There I've said my piece, and to anyone i may have offended last night in my drunken stupor, you have my sincerest apologies and i kindly request that certain of my more embarrassing moments be forgotten, and since i personally only remember 50/50 of what happened last night try not to bring anything up eh? MUA HA HA HA HA!

Things to do

Uwahh, 2 more weeks till i return home on the 1st Dec. There're still 2 more hurdles to get over though, the Stats exam on the 21st and Accounts on the 22nd. So far my examination campaign has been rather dreadful as for some reason i can't seem to bloody focus on my studies, curse my wandering and ill-disciplined mind. I don't even want to talk or think about the fiasco which was the first 2 papers. As such i'm definitely going to throw in my lot for these last two papers and like what i told Roaldy sometime back, if you're good at something don't aim for a HD, but go for the unheard of full marks. And thats exactly what i plan on doing. On another note Xander has already left (on the 14th, Wednesday) for home and as such Melbourne has become a quieter and less lively place. So even if the exams are over there won't be much for to do untill i return home to SG. Well if there's any consolation at least Ryan and the kids are still around (i won't count the bloody Angkau since he's leaving on the 26th, punk bitch) for a few more rounds of CG. Which reminds me, i've got to shut that bloody Angkau's mouth up, him and his crap-arsed Savannah.....Guess i'll have to teach him a real lesson before he runs off home. That being that here's my top 10 list of things which i'll do as soon as i reach home (mind you this being on the day itself, i've got a morning flight on the 1st and when u factor in the fact that Melbourne is 3 hours ahead of Singapore i'll touch down around 3pm SG time)

My (as of yet unconfirmed) Top 10 Things To Do When I Get Home

1. Break out my 360
2. Go to Grandparent's place
3. Go and buy new games for the 360
4. Go and buy manga at Kino
5. Go clubbing with the Upps
6. Go clubbing with the ex-taylors gang+Brendan
7. Go and have a drink with Ian and the "Lighter" side of ole' 4E3
8. Go gym
9. Resume playing weekly soccer with the Upps
10. Go savour the finer things in life

(Side Story- On another note i'm rearing to go back and challenge some fools at Initial D Stage 4 back in SG, i wonder if they're as crap as i think they'll be!)
