My new zhnged car.

Tomy Takara Drift Light Package.
Drifting RC car at an affordable price.
I painted it to make it more 'beng'.

Night Safari is really good.

I enjoyed myself in the zoo. It was nice walking in the dark.

What a nice place.

Why do hatches have rear wipers & not saloons.

Air flows smoothly over saloon's boot. But for hatches/estates, the swirling wind creates a vortex which accumulates dust on window.

Generally manufacturers don't fit rear wipers on saloon cars because they are deemed to be unnecesary. Most road film that deposits on a car's rear window is caused by the car itself when in motion. In a saloon car (with boot) the rear overhang coupled with a generally steeper rear screen (than a hatchback) minimises the amount of residue on the rear screen.

It is more necessary.
The airflow over the car's body at speed is dependent on the shape of the car. The shape of many hatchbacks and estates (wagons) causes a turbulent zone over the rear glass, so that spray from the road lands on the glass, hindering rear vision. Therefore a rear wiper is useful on wet roads, even if it is not actually raining. This is seldom an issue on a booted saloon.

Orrrr......chey.

Power (metal) Trip down memory lane

X Japan (エックス ジャパン, X Japan?) (originally X (エックス, X?)) was a Visual Kei band formed in Chiba, Japan by the drummer and pianist, Yoshiki Hayashi and the lead vocalist Toshi. They started out as a Japanese power metal/speed metal band, and later gravitated towards an alternative rock sound, but always retained a huge emphasis on ballads.

Was going through my old stuff backing up my data. Found some of my old X-Japan songs. Remember listening to them before the guitarist died. Before all the hype about his death. And before all these kids nowadays who listen to J-rock and metal because it was the cool thing to do. I love the music. Although I don't understand Japanese one bit. But their music is simply brilliant stuff. Classic example of how music is a universal language.

Thank you Vil for the awesome photography.

The unsleep

Something is bothering me. I don't know what. I feel normal. Everything seems good. But yet my brain is tingling.
Maybe I have been taking too many naps in daylight. I can't get to sleep. I'm typing this entry at 545am Singapore time.

Eggs and people and tarts

You know one of those days when you have a dream and everything is just so clear to you that you remember every single detail of it? Only to forget it after you take a bath or walk out of your room to drink a cup of water? Well, I'm not gonna let that happen. That's why I'm typing my entry here with eyeshit in my eyes and half my brain functioning.

Anyway I was walking along some function hall. I saw people from my secondary school JWSS standing around. Mainly the people from the general office. (could it be because I bumped into my ex vice principal in the canteen earlier) So I walked over and realized it was a tea function setup of some sort. Thing was it was over and they were clearing out the food. Problem is there was so much food left over that they were throwing it out literally by the trayloads. Almost 80% of the food was still left. So I was walking with Sandra and the photocopy lady handed me some styrofoam boxes to pack the left overs as not to waste the food.

Sandra went to pack 2 boxes of curry puffs. While I on the other hand. Was stuffing as many Portuguese egg tarts into the large boxes. I estimate over 20 eggtarts in each of the 4 boxes. And while packing. Any eggtart that would break before entering the box. Went into my mouth! I ate so many eggtarts while packing and thought of the prospect of having more than 80 eggtarts to eat when I get back!!! Never in my life had I touched so many eggtarts in my life before!!!

What a strange dream... What does eggtarts signify? Besides the fact that I'm damn greedy..

Ex-vice principals + freeflow eggtarts equal randomness eternal.
