I am feeling better now, one way or another. My lethargy and fever seem to have gone away, leaving sore throat behind to accompany me, not that I appreciate its company but I am not complaining; 1's company is definitely better than 3's.

Since I didn't set a New Year Resolution, I am going to set a Lunar New Year's Resolution. And that is to own this car in 2009.



Behold, this is the new flagship of BMW - the BMW F01, otherwise more commonly known as the 2009 BMW 7 Series. BMW decided to name this new 7-Series differently from its predecessors. Previous models were called E(insert number here). I guess the jump to the next alphabet (E to F) signifies the evolution of the new breed of 7 Series to something even more GODLIKE.

Of course, the name itself does not justify its capabilities. With a 4000cc V8 engine (there is a 4799cc one too), it can bring you from 0 to 60 in 5.9s. Not a very impressive number (GTR can do that in 3.5s) but we need to understand that this is a 2 tonnes luxury saloon that is not meant to be used as a sports car! Blistering barnacles I would kill to be in that driver seat to rev the monstrous engine and propel myself together with that huge chuck of mass to top speeds! For maximum enjoyment, I am definitely going to tune it for even more mind-blowing performance.

All in all, the F01 is a big, fast and mean car. Better don't mess with me when you see me on the road with it in future. I would not hesitate to leave you in a trail of blazing dust if you do. One of the interesting features which the F01 has is the Night Vision. I am not kidding, the damn car has night vision. It is also equipped with 10 Hellfire laser-guided missiles to obiliterate those typical road-hoggers that are as common as dirt on our roads. Refillables are purchasable from BMW Servicing Centre at $10 per stick. Remember to apply for your license to kill first though. Otherwise you might get in trouble with the law.

Now, drool over the sexy body of the F01!




Look at those evil looking rims!




I was going to photoshop my face in but oh well.




I am furiously black grrr grrr better stay away from me grrr grrr.


This was the original design for the F01. I think it looks kind of 'fierce' in certain ways but its definitely not going to garner points from the mainstream drivers. Some people already dubbed it the pig-nosed BMW... which I have to agree. Anyway, kudos the the BMW engineer who slapped the management and woke up their idea to change the design. Or whoever that person is.

Actually I should be working towards to getting the Nissan GTR35



but after watching The Transporter where Jason Statham races around the street with a classic 2001 BMW E38 (a previous 7-Series)



I am inspired (yet again) to be a different breed of racer! Racing in sports car is as common as dirt nowadays. Racing in a luxury sedan is something not much people will do and I shall be the one to do that! In any case, a luxury sedan will be less conspicuous than a glaring sports car on the road. Its like people wont think of a luxury sedan driver to be a pro street racer... easier to escape from police pursuit too haha.

Yada yada some of you might probably be lambasting me for my stupid resolution this year. Owning a 300k car within this year? I must be insane. Well before you shoot your mouth off any further, shut up and slap yourself. New year resolutions were NEVER meant to become true. Its just something people say and forget. Have yours come true? I guess not for most of us.

With that said, I still want to own a BMW F01 this year. Wish my luck. I need tonnes of it.

Hey y'all folks! A very Happy Lunar New Year to all of you. Sorry for my online inactivity these few days. There are so many things I am busy with that I don't really have sufficient time left to blog. I would like to thank those who still continues to frequent my blog. Your support is much appreciated!

I just had my reunion dinner at Crystal Jade Toa Payoh branch which is way too overpriced. For the kind of food they served, they should be happy if I were willing to even pay them a penny. But its ok, my brother's the one treating.

I am afraid I am going to have a bad start to the year of Ox. I am down with fever. I have been sleeping the whole day today hoping that I will recover by nightfall but alas, I was still sick. So I dragged my sick ass to the reunion dinner and forced myself to eat everything so that my parents would not suspect a thing. Among the stuff I ate: butter prawns, roast chicken, braised duck, braised chicken, oyster, steamed fish, gluttinous fried rice and yu sheng. Yes yes I know I am having fever but I am damn pissed that I always have to fall sick on festive occasion. So I wanted to challenge whatever divine being there is and use poison to counter poison. That is to say, I purposely ate all those fried oily stuff despite being sick. So far so good. Before I left home for the dinner, my thermometer reads 37.7 degrees. When I came back, the reading was 36.7 degrees. Even though my temperature is back to normal, I still feel somewhat sick. But I guess I am fine on the whole.

As you all might have already know, I am currently under the employment of City Bank.



I am supposed to help out in a certain Migration Project which involves the transferring of heaps and heaps of data from one system to another. Due to the reins of Corporate Secrecy Act, I am not allowed to talk about this project too freely. As such, I am going to talk about it in an expensive way.

= Pardon me, its been awhile since I last cracked jokes which nobody will laugh at =

So far, my sole responsibility is to retrieve our clients' dockets from our impregnable Millennium Data Vault (its just a normal vault, really) and to photocopy them for the migration process. As you might have expected, that is what I have been doing for the past few months at City. I have been photocopying and copying and copying and copying and copying so much that I believe I can photocopy all the documents with my eyes closed. I totally deserve a Diploma in Photocopying Studies:



Take note people, I will be getting my Degree in a few months time. But before that, I have 2000 plus more files to go.

As mundane as it might sound, my job actually provided some inspiration for me. I was flipping through this particular client's docket as usual, filtering out the pages which I do not need to copy and those that I need. Then I saw it. His monthly salary. Its a whooping $55, 000. Not per year but per month.

$55000 for EVERY MONTH!

Oh my god if I can have that kind of money I would go ahead and eat my MegaMac for lunch every single day. I won't have to worry about making my ends meet and counting how much I need to save up every week. I will go and slap $350,000 of CASH on Tan Chong Motors' agent's face and drive away in an Orange GTR35!

$55000 a month.

I was momentarily stunned when I saw the figure. Back when I was still a policeman, the highest salary which I heard of is $10000 plus plus per month. I thought that was alot already. But I know better now. Indeed, one mountain is higher than another mountain. Since that monumental discovery (ZOMG), I have been contemplating whether should I still go ahead with my Aerospace degree or should I switch to something business related so that I will be able to enter the Corporate world in future and become filthy rich. Its such a tough decision. To be frank I don't know what to choose! I think I should stick to my espionage path.

Other than that, work is generally fine. Nothing much to say for now.

me is now at national library studying about financial planning. I should have started a long time ago but I was either too "busy" or too "tired" to plan my money. but the truth is I am just plain lazy and kept procrastinating. what a shame and what waste of my time and money... but its better late than never. at least I realized the importance of financial freedom now! I am going to strive hard and make up for lost time and money. I WANT TO ATTAIN FINANCIAL FREEDOM!!!

HOLY COW! This is an abomination! The Starhub internet company took 3 days to restore my internet connection. THREE DAYS! What is wrong with them? I know I failed to pay the bill for 3 months straight (Dad, your the one responsible. I mean how can you "forget" to pay consecutively for 3 months!?) and Starhub has every right to terminate my connection for that. BUT if they can terminate it so quickly and efficiently, I would expect them to be that efficient too in restoring my connection upon receiving my payment but NO! They took three days. Ugh. Never mind, at least they bothered to restore my internet connection. That I give it to them. After all, its a company partly owned by the government. What to expect?

This two internet-less days made me realised something - internet has become a part of my life. It just feels weird without it. Even if I have nothing to do and have absolutely no reason to go online, I will still do so and just browse thru random sites. It has become something like a habit already. But of course, I will not shiver and cringe in agony without it, it hasnt got such a strong hold over me yet and I doubt it ever will. I do know that there are people who can't live a day without checking their e-mails, blogs, friendsters, facebook, neopets account, chatrooms, MSN, mIRC, WOW account, Maple Story account, YouTube, STOMP, porn etc though. These are really hardcore internet addicts. Their addiction is so strong that they have to - correction - DIE DIE must whip out their highly advanced MP3 players or handphones to go online in wireless hotspots in places like Starbucks and McDonalds. Hello people, if you are going out just to surf the net, why don't you save yourself time and money by surfing at home?

Then again, different people see things differently, they might feel its cool to be able to be connected to the net at all times. So be it.

SO, can you live without the internet? Or have your weak soul succumbed to the metal will of the World Wide Web?

I am currently under the employment of City Bank as a Staff Assistant. The job is quite simple; I just need to do what I am told.

The working environment is not half bad. My office is nice, nicer than my previous one, and the people there are generally very friendly, except for a few but thats alright. We can't expect everybody to like us can we? Oh, did I forget to mention, my workplace is at Millenia Tower which is next to Centennial Tower and opposite both the Singapore Flyer and Pan Pacific Hotel.

The only thing about my job which I have something to say about is lunch. It is somewhat expensive to eat at Millenia Walk area. All the food courts and fast food joints are just extra burden to my wallet. I can't get anything decent that costs less than $4! How I wish they can have a $2 chicken rice stall like the one at my house here.

I am considering moving my blog to a new site and am currently experimenting with the new website. Once everything is finalized, I might update again.
