from Alvin... advice

and he said, "is the thing you buy will give you value in the future?
and can you gain any interest on it ?
think about before you make decision"



That is deep!

I was asking his opinion on my decision to get a bike next year.
He told me to take my $ saved and invest it instead.
Make the money grow for myself instead of just wasting it.
His reason was sound, 'cause cars and bikes "depreciate the moment their wheels touch the road".

Something I got to really consider...



I really think that Alvin is a grounded sort of guy.
He has his stuff together in a way that amazes me.
He is so utterly focused on his goals and he then sets out to acheive them.

the Yamaha YZF-R6

This is the YZF-R1 smaller, aggresive and younger brother.
I'm probably aiming for this bike in the near future.
Shares the same design as the R1 although is of a smaller capacity.
This is better as I wouldn't say I'm that great a rider.

Let's be realistic here...

I got the downpayment on a second-hand 250cc bike saved up.
Gonna be getting my bike license over the summer...
Then I gotta settle a loan application.
Probably start looking for a good second-hand bike then.

Then, we'll see how it goes.


R6 Performance




















Yamaha Racing Blue...




On a side note, team Gaulousses won the Moto GP again.
I can see why the worldwide admiration for Valentino Rossi is well founded.

I reckon Rossi is to Moto GP as Schumacher is to F1...
















Shares the same design as the elder brother... the R1.





Clean and sleek lines...












kakoi desne~



R6 Details
















I want to see this dial here hit 15 k revs and do about 120 km/h...
Feel the need, the need for speed.














I'm going to definately try to get myself a bike.
With this baby as the end goal.
^_^'

Gotta learn to ride first... yea!

The End? We'll see...

Remember The Name

by Fort Minor featuring Mike Shinoda


Who is Mike Shinoda?


Remember The Name

You ready?! Lets go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all (c'mon!)


Remember the group who came up with a hybrid theory.
A new sound that proved popular...

I'm talking about LINKIN PARK.

The same group who featured a screamer, Chester Bennington...
And a trip-hop rapper, who? wait for it... Mike Shinoda.

Mike here after their acclaimed MTV mash up with Jay-Z came up with a solo project.
Signed up some new kids from his area and called themselves Fort Minor.
Jay-Z here is backing them up and it is shaping up good.
This is a new sound you got to watch out for.


This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

my iPod nano christened c_keah

I got this lil' baby here about 3 weeks back.
Did a pretty good deal at JB-Hifi on Elizabeth St.
Frank and Sherls haggled, begged then cuckoold that store on my behalf.
I swear... if you're asian, you probably got the haggle/bargain gene sequenced into your DNA.
Frank and I ended up getting an iPod each plus charger for $320 per package.

Note that the iPod nano in Australia goes for $359 and the chargers are an extra $48.
It is a wonder how Sherls managed to get the price down so low.

A big thank you and hugs...





This is the actual size of the iPod nano... in relation to my hand.




The iPod went on some diet or joined up with Atkins.
Probably smoked pot and snorted coke' and now they are as skinny as Kate Moss. Heh!




Shiny! And it says 4GB...
I know there are scratches... I'm sad too!
It really does scratch easily.




Am kinda proud of my new portable baby... Why? 'cause it plays mp3s.




I still can't get over the fact it is soooooo... small...

What is on my new baby iPod nano?
hehe... *smirks*
currently listening to My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You.

I look different? hmmm...

I bumped into Luan (unsure of the spelling of your name) on the street the other day.
She did mention that I looked different.
Something about not recognizing me.

My verdict is still out on whether this is a good thing...

Anyway, I got to catch up with her while she was waiting for her bus ride home.






Self Portraits




How do you take self portraits?
Stefi is the queen of doing the vain ole' me thing.
She said... point camera at self and *click*.












People mention that I look smarter with my spectacles.
I look more like an intellectual and that people think I am mature and trustworthy... Haha!








I think I look better without glasses.
I do wear contacts on good days...








I'm going to be using this for my avatar.
Sunny now thinks I'm really tanned in this photo, but it is just the lighting in my room.
I think it is one of the better pictures of me...








I guess there is a lil' bit of vanity in me.
And, this is coming from a guy who is not very good looking.

Hey... at least I am honest!

iPod nano

Apple Website for the iPod Nano.

Speechless moment...

I only have three words for this new piece of technology.
Slim,
Svelte
and Sexy...

Remember my Motorola RAZR V3?

And, we all know how much I like sexy technology.

stuff I have been up too...

What have I been up too lately?

I just finished my final assessment for the Java programming subject.
A great load off my shoulder... now I ask myself, "What is next?"
I think I'd be able to make my HDs again.

This really doesn't please me as much as I think it should have.
Minor irritant 'cause there was not much of a challenge in the assignment tasks.
Major irritant 'cause there is no practical usage for my coding efforts.
By this, I mean that my code is useless.
I was not getting paid for it... nor any reimbursement of any kind.
The code itself, will never be used by anybody.
It will never be used for anything.

I know that the subject constituted part of my learning process.
But... I am still unsatisfied.
It's like playing competitive sports with someone who is an amatuer.
There is no satisfaction in winning...







This was my tag for Reclaim encore.
I thought that the last and final Reclaim event was held last year?
Well... I dunno, anyways...
That was about 2 weeks ago on a Tuesday, I think it was on the 27 September.
Was not as much fun as I had hoped.
Too many people...







Got this from a magazine somewhere when I went shopping with Stefi.
I thought the advertisement was really cool.
It's like with the drawn in parts over the photo.

Yes... *ahem*
I know, understand and grasp the concept that I am a guy...
And, guys do go shopping.
Not just gay guys or metrosexual guys.
Even ordinary guys who work at Subway and are studying to be IT professionals.

Btw, I got a cheap $9.90 wool knit that day too.
