Shake Your Pom Pom-Missy Elliott

the rain was the real reason i was forced to seek shelter and waited for it to subside impatiently for about two hours earlier this evening.and i waited restlessly in the office,surfing the net till i was abruptly interrupted by a power failure.by then i was completely blank,staring at the emergency light for a few moments till i reached for my mobile phone and rang up the in-house techs to fix the faulty power supply.

it was raining still when i walked with the brolly on one hand and the other clutching a paperbag with my adidas sneakers wrapped in a plastic bag as i had to,decided earlier to swapped the sneakers with my boots as i did't want it to be caught wet in the rain.but i don't mind my clothes drenched though.

i had to shift a dirtbike which was blocking my scoot,and i intentionally pushed it further away,blocking a couple of bikes as did so,how i wished i could ram it against the trees,some folks are simply dumb,can't they check how they park their vehicles,can't they be more considerate?good enough i didn't scratch or cut the brake cords or something,oh revenge would be sweet..

i had to shave this morning;i looked like a lost Mexican and the grunge look is so distasteful.woke up with a bad tummy ache and i couldn't remember i took a shower or not.
but i remember the bloody neighbour on top was banging and rattling last midnight and i grabbed my exercise bar and used its end to hit the ceiling in a continuous motion real hard and loud.the irritating noise above stopped and i dozed off almost instantaneously.

and i am so sad that i have to work long hours over this weekend and yes we're real busy!!!back to business boys and girls!!!!!!!!!!!

Maria Maria-Santana

i don't really know who to point my finger to as i made a turn and the engine croaked, jerked and gone dead as it gradually slide at the side of the road until i slowly pulled the brake levers and hit the hazard lights.
I laughed.oh no i was angry and again i had to push it to the nearest sheltered multi storey car park,undo my helmet,took a peek under it and already a small pool of petrol collected underneath on the floor dripping directly from the greasy carburetor.i removed my electric shades,rubbed off the sweat and moist off my forehead,and called my wife to rescue me who came along about 10 minutes later with her dad,and sent me to work,which already by then i had no motivation to do anything.
i did all the work that needed to be done and once all were completed i sneaked off earlier than usual.took a cab home which cost me about $7.00.
washed myself up,put on nice gear and we rode off on dad's scoot and went down to china square and checked out the flea market,where we met El Nazir and Heedaya who walked with us awhile and parted ways.and despite the scooter trouble which was knocking my spirits down,the flea market trip actually lighten up whatever which was left on that sunday afternoon.some kinda therapy,yes it was-it's actually exciting,as we move slowly from table to table,slowly looking and admiring the bargainable toys,used clothings,accessories and various other weird and strange stuffs;some which actually brought me back to my childhood days,and though we only bought a little Mars Attack figurine,i felt happy and looking forward to our next return.
we went around town and ended up at beach road 'army market',despite the heat and cramped up narrow walkway,we marched our way through and bumped onto a nice looking old school school bag in military green and got it for only $16 after bargaining with the old man who was really happy enough to rid off the bag as he claimed was the only last one available after so many years hanging on the makeshift hooks above.a good buy,and we went for our dinner @simpang bedok and return home to get ourselves ready for the big game that night.

it was a tough match at Anfield last night though many would blame the poor referee over certain controversial issues but Liverpool managed to overcome the devils with a wonderful strike by Nando Torres and another by Ngog,who slipped the ball at stoppage time.
it was actually a win worth celebrating.

it was a Super Sunday despite the scooter breakdown.

Strutter-The Donnas

it was a bright sunny sunday evening,we had just attended a wedding reception and the scooter joined a long queue down TM1 shopping centre heading down towards the free-motorcycle carpark and midway i switched off the engine,as i thought i would save a lil energy on the scoot but was very,very surprise as we approached the gantry,the bloody scooter won't start as i pressed the ignition button.

we were truly stunned and practically lost for words,and that really ruined our beautiful sunday.i didn't really know what to do then,we went to get our stuffs and got back to the information desk and informed the guest officer if it was alright if we leave the stalled scooter overnight and the tow truck to rescue it the next day.the lady made a couple of phone calls and replied that they need my particulars and contact no and still with a friendly smile she said it's ok for us to leave it there,but just to ensure that it'll be removed the next day.

just my luck,i guess.

so i took the public transport to work today,armed with shades and headphones plugged to the psp.it wasn't that bad,only the burning sun that i can't definitely ignore though i tried as much to avoid the sun rays but it didn't help much.

and after work,head all the way down to the workshop again.so they've fixed my scoot and the old man mechanic was apologising still making me feel rather awkward,well it's not his fault anyway.and they only made me pay the towing fee but the rest of it Free Of Charge.
being thankful,i left the workshop with a sheepish grin and a slight nervousness...well i was just afraid that it might go dead halfway to home.but it didn't,just like the mechanic's assurance,"Sam i've checked through,it's the wiring to the magnetic coil which caused the fault."

but i somehow doubt him.and we already making plans of replacing the scoot.but deep down it's really hard for me to part with her.

how now brown cow?should i get another scooter?a vespa would be cool......

Stay-U2

i felt a lil stammer.

but it took me less than a minute to unscrew and dismantle the battery compartment's cover,especially after we went through the 'crash course' last night.Minerva stood at the side,watching in an unease manner with that worried look on her face and myself was not an exception i believe,and deep down my bleeding heart was throbbing mad,and 'Oh if after i fit the new battery in and it wouldn't work,what would i do next?'
hate those thoughts and feeling.but right after the new batt was placed and secured and all the necessary screws were tightened,i slot the key in the hole and turn it,with my left hand pulling the brake lever and my right thumb gently pressing the ignition button and simultaneously squeezing the grip and slowly revving it the throttle ....Vrrooooommmm Trrrrrrrr Trrrrrrrrr.....
There was a loud blaring roar and we both jumped with joy.we were fortunate that it was successful.
i am so glad that we did it.
yup,we did it right.with the right people who guided us along and thank God for that.

so dad's scoot was towed anyway,up onto the tow truck by the kind gentleman.so it will be shipped directly to the workshop but could only be examined by the mechanic on monday morning.and God knows what's was actually caused the stall.

Have a Super Sunday Yo!

The Ballad Of Tom Jones-Space Feat Cerys

some jackasses vandalised a showroom with spraypaint and recorded their actions and fled in a car and went on submitting the vid in youtube.coincidentally there was another guy in a close vicinity who filmed their entire act with his phone cam,and also posted the vid in youtube as well..

fly you fools!
