I give others the feeling that I am very uptight.

I give others the feeling that I am very uptight. Ahha me being uptight... for those who know me better, it can't get any further from the truth now can it? Oh well, I guess perhaps over the years, I've been accumulating much emotional baggage. I'm always over-analysing everything and everyone. Don't know when I started doing that, I think it's part of my personality, but I think it's time I started just taking everything at face value, especially when it comes to my personal life. It's bad when we don't think enough, but I starting to get the impression that it's also bad when we think too much. Time to sit back, smoke a joint and relax. Xiu0 suggested that I take a shot of vodka every morning. I think I might just do that. A shot of vodka sure would loosen me up a wee bit.

Ring

I was packing (still am) my stuff cuz I had to moveo out of my apartment cuz the damn lease has ended. Anyway, I found one of the rings that I had brought over from Singapore, and to avoid losing it, I put it on. It felt tighter than I remembered... must be because I've put on a substantial amount of weight since I came to Alabama. I am feeling surprisingly really good today. Yeap yeap. Good. Yeap. Hokay. That's it. Moving on.

Gotta bitch abt something

Just finished doing the newsletter for the International Student Organization... the president asked me to vett his speech, then when I corrected it, he disagreed, so I told him I'm not making any changes to his speech, (which was horrendous anyway... "other organizations different to the ISO") and the admin assistant and the faculty advisor want to change some grammar. I just told them to do whatever they like as I dun give a shit anymore, and I won't take credit for the english. 690 Verbal SAT score, straight As for english all my life including Os GPs and college english classes... and they think my grammar is wrong. Yeah right. I have better grammar drunk then they'll ever have.

Revelations from SNs

This morning, I realize that perhaps I am the only one holding on to the past. Gotta thank Pet for that. Her msn sn asked "Why do people die?" I answered "Cuz if they didn't you wouldn't be here." Frankly, all this while, I've been hanging on the slim hope that someday, somehow, things will be right again. I'm kinda sick of this whole ex topic. Time to drop it for the final time. Cherylyn's msn sn asks "Why would you need a second chance if you chose to give up the first time?" How true. What was I thinking, living in my own fantasy world? Michelle was like the spot on Lady Macbeth's hand. I'm glad that I've washed out that damn spot. The reason why the new is missing is because its spot is filled with deadwood. Time to dig out that stump and plant a new seed. This is the last you'll hear of this. I'm sure you're sick of reading about this shit. Well, I'm sick of writing about this shit too. Today is the beginning of the rest of my life.

Black spoke silver lip rims.

Just finished painting my rims. Pictures soon. Damn worn out, school, work, ISO shit, and today, car. I'm so dehydrated from working all day (and 1/2 a night) in the 30+ degree heat that I've a headache that goes away for a while each time I drink water. Alright, gonna go get some rest. PC.

Broke...

Ai... maybe I'll not spend so much on my car... especially not with the Supra and the Skyline GT-R returning in 2007 (graduation year!!!) I think I'm probably gonna get one of these instead of dumping so much money into the eclipse. Twin cam V6s and twin turbos sound real good right now comapred to the measly 10g turbo in the eclipse...

The Eclipse is a monetary black hole!!!

I've been eating instant noodles almost everyday and dumping insane amounts of money in my car. What kind of life is this? I must admit it does feel pretty good. Ahaha it kinda feels like being in love, when all that matters is your other half.

Here's the list of expenditure on my car so far:

Diagnosis: $80
Oxygen sensor replacement: $198
Clear Signal Lens: $24
Oz Front Speakers: $80
Red Interior Bulbs: $ 5
Miscellanous paint supplies: $19
Grand Total: $416
Damn... I din't know I spent 416 already in 1.5 months... mmm I think my dad paid for half the oxygen sensor replacement. Yeap you read it right. Miscellanous paint supplies. I'm going to paint my 16" rims while saving up for these:

Rag Top Replacement: $1500
Blitz Body Kit + Labor: $1800
Momo 18" Rims: $1200
Eagle F1 18" Tires: $1200
Red LED Underbody Kit + Labor: $300
Windows Tint: $140
Engine Rebuild: $1300
Manual Tranmission Swap: $500
Invader-Style Carbon Fibre Hood: $350
HKS BOV: $300
Ingen Cold Air Intake: $180
Custom Red Vinyls: $150

Grand Total : $8930

Damn it cost the same as my car itself lol. Maybe I'll just trade it in after I find a secure job and get a newer car to modify.

Anyway, here's next month's expenditure:

Lug Nuts Lock Removal: $25
Lug Nuts: $10-20
Engine Emissions Tuneup: $150
Grand Total: $185 - 205

As Scott (the guy who owns the workshop that I frequent, yeah FREQUENT,) says, this is an expensive hobby. Anyone feel like contributing to the project? I accept cash, check and money orders. I'll put a decal with your name on my car :D

Anywayz, how've you guys been? Aint heard from no one in a while...
