You're missed.

Mercenary.

When a man gets dropped into the forest of the unknown.

And the only thing he has is a knife.

He has to survive.

It's either he will, or he won't.











I found myself a double edged sword.

And you guessed it right.

Even if it lies dangling in my stomach, with myself losing blood, I'm trying to see where the finish line is.

And So, Summer Came.

It was pretty bad.

Hot.

So I resorted to something else for nearly the afternoon after I came back from grocery shopping.

Which I will never do on a hot afternoon ever.






It must've been that bad, huh?

It IS that bad.

Just Another Day..

.. Well, not exactly.

I kinda ran out of ideas to put as the title.

Today, my housemate, a.k.a. my brother's friend since secondary school, just went back to Penang to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Okay, to make it easier, the housemate's name is Siew Keat. Also known as Teoh amongst his Australian friends.

I must say that I owe him quite a bit because he's been driving us around since I arrived in Tasmania. It's awesome to know someone who has a car. And it's great ot see him again. We've been friends for probably 11 years now.

But he left, and my brother will be attending an armour party at Lencheston (SP?). So, I'll be home tomorrow. Great.

Anyway, a friend I just got to know through my brother's ring of friends, Jasper mentioned something new to me. In fact, everything is new to me today. It's called Targa. It's like, an association on enthusiastic drivers or racers get their cars of whatsoever and compete in this. Like, if you were watching Top Gear - during the Classic Car challenge as well, you'd be able to see a lot of familiar cars driving around. The best thing compared to Malaysia is..

.. Malaysia, you don't get them to sponsor such events and associations. Because if they do, they tend to wait for you to get in the car, and as you're about to race off, the car gets stopped by police asking for bribery.

So, we had a look. We dropped by to see the drivers when they were resting at the hotel, but most importantly, we could check out the cars being parked there. And they don't mind at all!

Saw a couple of familiar cars, and unfamiliar ones, which is pretty awesome.

For the supercar fans, I only managed to see the Lamborghini Gallardo and the Aston Martin Vantage. Awesome-ness..

The rest were the usual. Japanese tuned cars - Subaru Impreza WRX STI Hatchback, Nissan GTR, Nissan Skyline GTR R-33 & R34, etc

Check thepictures out in Facebook, for the moment, here are a pinch of my favourites..

iThink iPad.

When it comes to pricing, I guess I'm sucked into the Australian currency already. I'm not comparing to the Malaysian currency at the moment.

The iPad, pricing ranges from $499 - $699, with each of a $100 difference between 16, 32 and 64 GBs worth of space.

Now for those who are familiar with the 3G network, the iPad also comes in a totally awesome compatibility where it runs on 3G wherever you go. That, would cost about how an iPhone 3GS. Ranges at $629, 729 and 829. Which is pretty awesome.

The pricing are in USD, at the moment.

Since I'm confirmed to get my iPhone (if the plan's approved), I might settle down with the iPad many months of savings later. I think it's pretty awesome.

And how they managed to make iWork applicable on the iPad, with its laptop-sized on-screen keyboard, I believe it will be relatively lighter to bring to class, and get notes and whatsoever done.

Best thing is, you're able to export whatever you've saved on the iPad to PDF, and things should be a little bit more familiar to Windows user from there.











I think this should be called iAwesome instead of the iSanitaryPad. But still, I'm amazed how their technology has grown.

He..he..he..

Anyways, don't know what's an iPad? If you ask me, it's just awesomely convenient. But educate yourself in the mean time.

I Went To The Park Yesterday..

.. And I saw something educational!

I was at the park in Hobart yesterday with my brother and his friend, Brodie.

It was a podium, probably a memorial of some politician. I'm still unclear about who's the impact around here, but they were pretty tight on freedom back then.

So this was scribbled on the podium, on the surface where you'd put your bible and preach to the public. It stated something wise like:

"Freedom is a speech you speak to the public, not what others want to hear"

It didn't rhyme or any sort, but it was a pretty awesome statement. It felt motivational.

And in Penang, if you were to go to the Botanical Gardens, you'd see a big sign stating:

"Dilarang membuang sampah. Didenda RM200"

Awesome!

Dreadnaughts, and..

.. Small bodies.

Whatever you call them.

Anyways, come next month, and my guitar should be available in the house!! Wheee.

The problem is, there're really big bodied guitars compared to the smaller ones.

And honestly, I hate playing on dreadnaught guitars, because they're just bloody big. But the tone that comes out from the guitar is pretty awesome. Compared to a smaller-bodied guitar, and regardless of the string gauge you use, the tone is usually warm, big, and round. It's very soothing, really!

Smaller guitars tend to be brighter - sharper in other words - and it's pretty good if you were to be in the spotlight.

And size is the ultimate problem for me. Due to me practising the guitar in the stance on how it is usually strapped on, I think I'm going to have a problem playing the guitar right.

It's going to be 45 degrees upwards most of the time.

But I don't know.

My fingers are turning hard due to no practice at all for a week.

I hope this torture will end soon. It's depressing..











Come February. AND MAKE IT QUICK!
