Back to class today. Looks like we've got a 12th December deadline for our project. Classes tomorrow as usual and I'll be starting my attachment in Puchong next Monday!

Been having weird dreams again. Dreamt that I was back in Melbourne the other night. I went back to Maccas in Kew and the first person I was looking for was Courtney. Saw some other familiar faces like Peter Reynolds and Peter Hawthorn but they didn't seem to recognise me. Also saw someone that looked like Kass but I can't be sure. The rest of them were unfamiliar faces. I waited for them to get off work and decided to take the tram with them. Then I woke up.

Don't know the significance of such dreams. There was another weird dream - but I can't remember what it was.

Dad seems to be enjoying the car more than I do. Can't wait until I get the road tax so I can drive it legally without having to worry. Hope the runner has done his/her job and will get my road tax this week!

Oh, we've already got a brand spanking new set of 15 inch rims and new tyres to go with them. The rims are a brand called "Millenium". Never heard of them before but Sam has. A Taiwanese brand, which are supposedly stronger than local ones. Traded in the old set of rims and tyres for about RM 600 so the new ones came up to about RM 660 including the tyres. Not too bad I think.

Won't be long until I have my baby all to myself!

Had some more work done on the car. Fixed up the rear skirts. Looks almost as good as new. Also resprayed the spoiler. I still want to get it changed later.

After listening to some people, we have decided that we might switch from 16" rims to 15" rims. The reason is due to:

- Current tyres wearing out and needs replacement
- Better fuel economy
- Reduce cost in the long term for cost of tyres
- Reduce tyre noise

Also need to go look for a replacement wind-shield because of the long crack on the current one.

I've noticed that the CDs I play in the car tends to get really hot. Don't know if its normal or advisable for long periods of time.

The tickets for the LOTR Movie Marathon have completely sold out from what Grace and Reza have told me. I guess we'll have to watch "Return Of The King" on its own. The "Two Towers - Extended Edition" DVD isn't out yet. If it doesn't come out soon, I might have to spend the Tower Records voucher on something else instead.

Got to call the Finance Company to check on the roadtax later.

OK, I suppose its time to let the cat out of the bag. If you've been reading this regularly, you'll realise that there was a "surprise" I've been mentioning from time to time. I think the time is right. I have finally got my car! Yes! Not just any car but a Honda Civic EK-3 (1997 spec)! Now, who wouldn't be happy eh?

Been going to the workshop with dad for the past 2 days to get some things done to the car. So what does it look like? I don't have pictures to show just yet. Here's what I can tell you. It's white in colour, pearl white or I think the official code would be Championship (?) White. It comes with Mugen-styled front, side and rear skirts.

The only major exterior problem is that the rear-skirt is cracked. I'll just leave it as it is until it drops off or really needs a new replacement. The original Malaysian-spec Civic spoiler needs a new coat of paint as well. I told dad of my plans to completely replace the spoiler but he says to keep it. He's right, we've spent close to RM 55,000 on the car already. Some of these things can wait - be thankful I have a car to drive. And not just any car, a car I've been waiting 6 years to get my hands on.

Got a Pioneer CD-player with MP3 capabilities yesterday. I think it was close to RM 700. I guess there's no need for a changer as yet. I think I have all the music I need in my CD-Rs. Time to get some CD-RWs and update my collection.

Today, we might go source for a new windshield which has a 12-inch crack. Probably going to install an alarm system today as well. The rear brake lights needs a wiring check I reckon.

Manage to drive the car for awhile yesterday. Must say I have to get used to the car. The handling is different, the engine definitely gets some getting used to. The 1.5l SOHC Vtec engine leaves the Wira's 1.5 in the dust. Now, I know this might not sound patriotic but seriously, Proton has alot of catching up to do.




Looks like this update has to be cut short. Further upgrades to be done to the car:
- get a different spoiler (EG-9 style)
- replace the rear skirting or the whole bodykit when it starts to fall off.
- get a new coat of paint (possibly white or pearl/metallic/midnight black)

Check back again for updates.

The day didn't start off too well this morning. Its pouring outside. Got wet trying to get to the car. Got my left sleeve soaked but its not really a big deal. Its good to have the net back - even for awhile. It just proves that we're all junkies of different sorts. That said, its really good to be back.

I usually don't believe too much in horoscopes. But yesterday was a very good day indeed. Not one, not two but THREE pieces of fantastic news! To start off the morning, mum calls home and says she won the lottery, but just very small winnings. Later on, dad tells me the same thing because they bought the same number.

Later on in the afternoon, I get news that I've been accepted for my attachment at PrimeRite Systems in Puchong. So for those of you who will be in that area and want to meet up for lunch or something, give me a buzz. I'll be starting on the 8th of December. Good thing I won't be alone there. Seen Hon will be joining me. I haven't begun to imagine what it would be like since it will be a completely spanking new IT Department. We'll have to see how it goes. For the others who haven't got their attachments yet, I hope the best for them. They should be getting something soon. Even though they might not be reading this, just want to let them know I'm concerned as a friend as well.

Still later in the afternoon, I receive THE phone call. It's the best news of the day I reckon. But something of which I won't elaborate until everything is finalized.

On the other hand, the day wasn't very productive, not unlike every other day we show up to do our project. We are still behind and we still won't be able to finish anytime soon. Everyone seems to be in the Raya holiday mood already. Some don't even bother to turn up. What's more, its the last day of classes today before we break off for a very long break. Still, the good news up till that point outweighed the bad.

I received mail from Shell requesting for my Uni and school results. I get a feeling the response I'll be getting from them won't be very encouraging. Even the selection process is very tedious from what I heard and read from their website. Still, I don't think I'd have anything to lose by trying to apply for it. Yes - that's the way, think positively - be optimistic.

I still haven't studied for the FMUTM exams tomorrow. Dad tells me it'll be at KDU at 3pm - 6pm tomorrow afternoon. That gives me some time to go through it tonight and tomorrow morning. Spent alot of my free time on the PS2. Also been going online for abit since the network here is screwed. And they blame us for the slowdown saying we introduced viruses to the systems!

Also received an sms from Pearly before I went to bed last night. Don't know if she messaged me on her own initiative or after some prodding from Brandy or the others. Whatever it is, someone remembered me and that's a good thing I suppose - nice if it was Pearly herself though! They'll be going to Coffee Bean in Sri Hartamas to meet up. Told her I wouldn't be able to make it due to said exams. I guess there's always another time - and when the time comes, they'll be impressed! Or at least I hope they will.

Almost time to head to class. It's the weekend. I'll have some time to myself after tomorrow. Hooray!

Shit! I'm bored. Don't know what to do. I should be studying, or reading at least, for the FMUTM exam this coming Saturday.

Didn't get to do much the whole day as I was driving around most of the time.

Had a chat with Neesha today. Funny - of all people, I see her online. Seems she's no longer at IMU. Too much pressure she said. Pfft..... who would blame her?!

The weather is really shitty. I'm sweating as if I'm in a sauna. Well ok, that's a little exaggerating but it spices up stories doesn't it? Still, the fact is I'm sweating.

Sent an application to Shinroku today. Finally put up my completed online resume on the website as well. Nothing fancy but I think it gets the job done. I hope so anyway.

News update: Ryan's friend, Nicolas won't be here for a couple of days but he's here to stay till the end of the year! Shit! No more privacy - and they're hogging my tv and consoles! *sniff sniff* Guess that's ok. I'm a nice guy after all. Besides, I pity the poor kid. Parents already seperated/divorced and busy with their own lives. Grandmother already gone to USA to visit the other grandchildren.

WWE Updates: I've already finished season 1 with The Rock. Decided to switch to Chris Jericho for the next one. Pretty interesting storyline this time. Coach came up to me and told me there were a few Divas who were interested in being my manager. Of course I wanted a Diva as a manager. So who did I get to choose from? That crazy bitch Victoria and the other crazy, freaky bitch - Jazz. God damn it - what is Bischoff or McMahon trying to do? Why can't I get someone like Trish Stratus or Stacy Kiebler? I had no choice so I took the better of the two, Victoria. She offered me some pie, which was pretty funny for those who gets the joke.

Later on, Trish tries to come on to me *yeah - who's the man?*. She gets involved in a fight with Victoria. Next came the beauty contest with me as a judge. Of course I picked Trish. I thought I could finally get rid of Victoria but NOoooooo. They fight in a match which I purposely lost in hopes to get rid of Victoria. Get rid of her I did - but in the end, Trish didn't want me as well! She said she would be looking for a real man. Damn it!

Watched an episode of "Smallville" last night. Its not something I watch on a weekly basis. In this one, Clark was discovering more of his powers. He finally discovers his identity from a scientist played by..... Christopher Reeve! He looks like he's in pretty bad these days, very fragile. So different from back when he was still Superman. It's pretty disturbing to see. Feel abit sad. Makes you wonder how precious life is.

What is wrong with the damn banks? Why haven't they called me yet? When I'm available, they don't give a buzz. When I'm not - my phone's going out of whack with all the missed calls. What's wrong with this people?

You know what? I'm still bored. And still hot. It's already raining. I'm off to take a shower.
