I finally was able to do the Crazy FroG DDR!!!

I finally was able to do the Crazy FroG DDR (I was high on alcohol) so I'm putting it up for you Crazy FroG freaks out there. My higest score was 18080(?). Alright. So you've made a higher score on the DDR. Find out if you are still legally sane.

Kill that CrazY FroG!!!

Now that you've been exposed to the CrazY FroG, it's time for you to shoot it. My best was 90 and 1/4 meters

Edit: It's now 92.5m

Crazy FroG!!!

1005 visits + yet another social commentary

Alright the hit count just crossed the 1000 mark today. I know it's just one thousand, and that most of them are just the same people visiting over and over again, but it's kinda special whenever a digit is added to a counter number. 1000 hits in 7 months... that works out to be an average of 4 hits a day. Never meant for strangers to visit my blog, and I guess it's kept in line with my wish. I'm supposed to be studying right now... I guess I should get right to it. Lol it's almost a year since I left Singapore. It doesn't feel that long at all. I keep having the feeling that I just got here. I guess that's because I don't really have a big bunch of friends whom I hang out with. At least I have quite a few groups of friends to hang out with in Singapore. I guess I still have to work on my social circle. However, the saddest thing about being here probably is the lack of a decent club in Auburn. All the pubs really suck so much. What I wouldn't give for them to open a club that's 1/2 as cool as Zouk over here. I guess I'm just going to party my ass off when I get back to Singapore and when I finally get my ass out of this boring town. It looked pretty big on my first visit here. It's really really really very small. Auburn Village is a term more apt than Auburn City. Alright let's just compromise and rename the place Auburn Town and avoid misleading people in the future. Really, if I had known I was coming to such a boring place, I would have avoided it altogether. Then again, coming here isn't all bad. It widens the perspective, and really dimished my respect for white trash, opps I meant people. I have quite a few white friends, but most of them are just snobbish, ignorant morons who think that they are the smartest people in the world.

It's funny how so many Americans still think of themselves as being so much better than foreigners even though all the best stuff are being made in Japan or Europe. America is only good at making weapons, and using them. Although most people would beg to differ on the later. Let's face it, most of the people keeping the American economy afloat are Asian immigrants. Asian-Americans have the highest income of all racial/ethnic groups, but their poverty rate is twice that of whites. This is probably the greatest indication of the failure of the American education system. Lets face it, although there are many Asian-Americans who excel in school and in life, the fact is that most of them fall through the cracks, and most of the people who excel academically, and later, professionally, have gone through foreign education of some form. Since they are from the same bloodline, their genetic potential are obviously the same. It is the system that fails them. The greatest failing of America is self-deceit. Ask any average American on the street, and they will tell you that America is the world Super-power, and is leading the world. America has the best economy and highest living standards. The sad thing is, the economy is growing at a measly 3%, while the so-called "third world countries" like poor ol' Bangladesh's economy is growing at twice the rate. Singapore really takes the cake in economic growth. It's growth rate was 12% last quarter. The US is also in debt. $7 trillion of in it fact, and growing. Also, to add insult to injury, US has lost it's leadership in Gross Domestic Product per Capital. But it's alright, as they say, ignorance is bliss.

I wanna go to a place where I can say that I'm alright and stay there with you.

Do you like the music? It's from the soundtrack of Gundam Seed Destiny by the way. Kinda mellow yeah? Dun seem like music from a robot anime does it? I used to hate mellow songs.

I'm sitting in the ISO office alone, at the computer. It's 1220 right now, and it's pouring outside. It's the kinda torrential rain that always reminds me of Singapore. I used to walk in the rain. I walked 2 hours home from school once just because it was raining. I still walk in the rain; I guess not much has changed.

I used to write poems. My poems never rhymed. It was about the words and the structure, never about the rhymes. I don't write them anymore. Few people appreciate them. Fewer still inspire them.

I used to write songs. They were unpolished, but they were from the heart. I don't write them anymore.

I listen to jazz. I used to hate jazz. It seemed to me that jazz singers were so in love with their voice, and liked repeating the same verse over and over. It turns out that that was just one exception.

I've lost alot of my angst, and gained alot of acceptance. Perhaps it is wisdom. Perhaps it is despair. I wonder if the day would come where I stop trying at all.

Things are different now; people change with time. While the rest of the world moved, I moved too. I guess while the rest of the world change on the outside, I changed more on the inside. You couldn't tell any difference between the person I am and the person I was. But I can. I feel it. Within me, there is a growing reluctance to hope.

Hope may be the sole salvation of mankind, but it hurts.

Is it really ok? It's never going to be.

Some bad photography

Hehe, what's the result of waxing two nice cars with high quality wax and a buffer? Fucking awesome that's what. I have some really poorly taken pictures (taken without the flash and couldn't really hold the camera that still...) for you to check out. It's Brian's 2005 Acura RSX-Type S beside my 97 Eclipse Spyder GS-T. The wax job and poor photography kinda narrows the gap between these 2 cars duncha think?

I love my car. It's much less complicated than loving a person.

I'm happy.

Whoohoo

Things are going great. Sent my car to Zen motorsports to get the catalytic oxygen sensor replaced yesterday. Finally have no more engine problems with it and it's running really smooth now. I can really feel horsepower finally restored to the engine. Also, the engine's finally not dumping fuel like it's nobody's business. The interior of the exhaust pipes have turned black because of all the carbon that my car was releasing. Miraculously, I think the weather stripping leaks have been fixed too. It was still dripping abit after tightening the clamps, but I think the rubber has deformed and conformed to the new shape, this sealing the car properly now. All that's left is to glue that small gap between the rear windshield and the canvas. But it's not leaking much anyway so I think I'm not going to rush into it. Just removed the 'Mitsubishi' sticker on my car too. Gonna pluck out the 'Eclipse' from the tail lamps this weekend to give my car that clean look. I'm probably gonna keep the 'Spyder' sticker though... I like the way it looks. Gonna save up for a cold air intake for my car. I'm gonna forgo the blowoff valve for a while cuz my friend says that it doesn't really help much with the turbo lag. Might as well get an additional 20hp for that amount of money.

Looks like I finally have peace of mind regarding my vechicle. It's been way overdue.
