Grass Racing Autosport - Round 4

Finally, he got a podium win!!!

A last minute decision to join the race proved to be a decision worth making after all. Amy's still being repaired, having to only acquired her parts last week and all paperwork's been done. Hopefully she'll be out in time for RD5...

This round, Tigella drove a Proton Wira Aeroback, 1300cc, belonging to fellow GRA-ian, Kenneth, affectionately known as Telethambi.

However, there was an agreement (hope i got it right).

Should Tigella win a podium placing, he needs to pay Telethambi RM50 and / or if he beats Telethambi's timing, Tigella needs to belanja him 3 sessions of karaoke (3K), amounting to a total of RM150 est. If both leh, u do the math urself.

Not much of practise was done with the car, just need to get use to the handlings n all that jazz with the lil practise time he had. Telethambi was #45, while Tigella was #46. Preparations were done to get Tigella's name plastered on the rear window - a must , so that the marshalls can identify the driver at any given time. Nin-kupao helped to erm, 'create' a hippy and flower-power tag for him. All the flower power might have contributed to his winning...

Came the race day, the guys went all out and Telethambi's monster did kick some asses. I was anxious...hoping both would do well (seriously!) Alas...Kenneth emerged runner-up and Tigella in 3rd placing....1st place was won by a super damn fast kelisa...it was really fast!

Basically, Tigella did a good job going tru the course and maneuvering round the pylons and gave his very best....i am proud of him! Hope he can secure his placing if not improve it next round...thanks expecially to the Liang-kupao (sorry, couldnt resist it d) for lending the winning monster machine...*HUGS* to the both of you....

actually, its a good thing Tigella didnt beat Telethambi...3K is alot to pay and i want him to pay for mine too...akhakhahka...thts like paying for 3 sessions in 1 nite!

To My Dearest Honey Bun,

As cheesy as these nicknames are,
Eventhough we hardly see each other,
Eventhough the distance can sometimes kill us,
Although your schedule can be a b*#ch sometimes,
Albeit the daily phone calls,
Despite the fact that as you age, you mature more,


I still like being terribly silly with you.
I like being all kiddie around u
I like to annoy the heck out of you
I like to beat the crap out of u
I like beating the crap out of u each time u curse excessively...tehehe
I like to feed u
I like to snuggle up with u
I like disagreeing with u
I find it amusing when your lies / tricks dont work on me
I like how u find comfort in the fact that, u are smarter than me....yes, you're with stupid.
I like how u are always holding my hand when we walk, even if the distance is short.
I like the way you look into my eyes, i still get all tongue-tied.
I like when you serenade a song to me even when u're half alseep
I like the way u strum the guitar and gaze at me....or so i think u were lah
I like it when u take the lead and be a gentleman
I feel safe, indeed, in your big arms.
I like how your embrace keeps me warm and makes me fuzzy.
I like it when at times, you rationalise better than I...
I am moved each time you confess your feelings to me.
I am grateful for the effort you've put into 'us' so far.
I like how we find comfort in simple gestures, need not be out-of-this-world declarations of love.
I appreciate your take on loyalty, honestly and trust.
I like the way u smile....and laugh.
I like it when we have a go at each other, to see who's the bigger idiot.
I love when you fuss over my auntily dressing...
I like when you take on the role as the bigger kor kor, i think its really sweet.
I like how this rship is progressing day by day.
I am amazed that even with the distance, i dont miss u as much, coz u've always been close to me, in my heart.
I like how you seem to think that you're the most handsome guy in the world, when u know that i know u r not..kehkehkehek, but u're still my handsome honey bun
I like the fact that this list can go on further but i've to get back to work.
I like how i'm falling even more in love with you, with each passing day.


Nigel darling,

thank you for the smiles you've brought to me.
thank you for enlightening my once-a-mournful heart.
thank you for spreading your infectious laughter to me.
thank you for perking me mood up when i'm all hormonal and down.
thank you for your neverending silly banters
thank you for the lovely and sneaky hugs and kisses.
thank you for being my friend, foremost.
thank you for loving me.

Happy 2 months Anniversary my dearest Honey Bun.

We're discovering more of each other everyday, and I am looking forward for this pretty adventurous journey with u....if we're white water rafting or something...and i fall over, pls save me ya coz i know not how to swim....and this is a metaphor..ahhahaha...sorta.

MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS MUAKS

Love always

Rosalind.....

Knockout Weekend

whoahahahhahaha.....am invading Nigel's bloggie space here, yet again. But he doesn't seem to mind my musings and crap so i take that as a nod of approval to flood his blog with my crap. besides, since i've always got loads of crap to crap abt i might as well drop some 'ere.

Finally had the chance to spend some quality time with the honey bun throughout the Merdeka weekend and justby hanging out with the gang, you'll never run out of fun, even if you're just lulling on the couch in the office or smoking and when I put out my camera and waalaaah.....you dont have to worry about filling up your 2GB memory card. :P but alot of shameles pictslah...priceless, awkward expressions and candids. Took the AA flight down and i think i prefer the Boeings than the Airbus, tak comfy langsunglah the seats....didnt help that i didnt get much sleep the night before.

doing wat i do best, btw, paper reads "LOSER"

really had nothing much to do

We karaoke-d 2 days in a row, with Nigel hogging the mike most of the time on the 1st day. But i've never heard him sing and well erm, i am ashamed of myself and the school choir i represented for back in high school, for this guy can sing..... O_O I dont think i can sing in tune anymore....maybe singing Negaraku might do some justicelah. I thought they might have some nursery rhymes coz erm, this particular karaoke place in Penang has a short selection of nursery rhymes...no joke! i thought i could save my face and sing something...safe. 2nd round saw me practically killing the songs....ohmygawd its been a while since i last did this. I know i murdered Bon Jovi's 'Always'...hahaha :( Song selections in Neway was more comprehensive than Kotak Merah's, twas a funfilling nite. main idea is always to enjoy the company of friends.......damn rite i did and that i'm looking forward for this again.... did i mentioned we karaoke-d till about 5am?

Champion, JenJen, Admiral dan Nigel dalam Kotak Merah

The gang @ Neway, singing to Leslie Cheung's "Monica"

The weekend didnt stop there........the guys played snooker and pool, apparently what seemed to be the gang's new fav past time, perhaps?. even when you're not playing, just, by watching them, they'll never run out of silly antics and playful banter, i found tht very entertaining lor..hehehe. the girls, well we played cheerleaders and cardkeepers for our men....tak guna rite? but then ah, we did it willingly...hahah. I had a game of pool and wahlau...the last time i ever held a cue was erm.....approx. 9 yrs ago? When pool was the rage back then. Can say i was super damn karatlah. so damn karat that i had to get impromptu lessons frm the honey bun...maluation...but i was glad to know i didnt suck terribly...although i wasn't anywhere near amateur level, i still received encouraging praises frm the honey...woot woot. :P Its amazing that even after....15 years, people still enjoy a game or two of pool. The outlets we went to weren't dodgy looked gloomy, not at all. I do remember how much each game cost for individual tables ar certain eateries or clubs...RM3.back then rm3 can buy you a bowl/plate of noodles and maybe a glass of chinese tea...

failed man...failed!!!

The Scorpion Striking pose

Highlight of the gang's outing was to celebrate Admiral's bday. Makan-ed together2 @ Kristao in Heritage row......savoured the food which was tasty enough....then gorged down big slices of tiramisu......i ordered this partcular chicken dish and it was tasty enough....the staff were friendly and ever so ready to serve us with a big huge smile....oh yeah, the tables were covered with mahjong paper and we erm..started scribbling the paper......words sprawled all over, hang-men games we played, drew pictures n all tht lah....i guess we helped to add more caracter to the table's setting n decor.....we then ended the nite with the 2nd round of karaoke-ing @ Neway...

The bday boiboi and his lady

The usual suspects

doodling

but of course...my main objective which was to spend more time with the honey bun was achieved. Have to admit that i've been secretly missing him like hell cept that my muka macho made a good cover....thanks honey......thanks for making my short holiday super damn fun. looking forward for more tapas, smoking and lepak sessions with u.....muaks

Love: Gorgeous Pig

Caught on Camera II

Anonymous guest blogger here again...more picts of Nigel. Courtesy of his gorgeous pig.

Caught on camera

Anonymous guest blogger here, am going to upload some random picts for the very lazy Nigel...1st up, picts taken last Saturday.

Misunderstandings..

Sometimes things do get blown out of proportion, but it doesn't mean to say that the cause of the misunderstanding is not at fault..

Confused??

Things are/were said..
which weren't meant...
taken out of context..
but has affected alot of people...
which i hate that it had happen...

Perhaps the words have hurt, made one feel like being played for a fool..
But truly deep down..
i didn't mean for it to come out this way...

To all who been hurt or felt betrayed..
I am truly sorry..
Didn't mean or expect it to come out this way...

=[

Beauty and the Beast

10000000 times the chicks..300cc increase.. 3 more throttles.. double the number of cams.. with a longer tail end to boot (no pun intended). What the hell am I talking about? That’s the change I went through since i replaced my Proton Satria.

My endeavors in autocrossing have seriously heightened my interest, knowledge and passion for cars. Being typically Nigel, every passion must be pursued whole-heartedly and how much more committed can I get compared to buying a new car.


A Toyota Corolla Trueno AE92

I can still remember the first time I ever lay my eyes upon her. Totally in awe, drool flowing from the corners of my mouth ala Niagra Falls I circled her, admiring her voluptuous figure, charming face and the ass that is not only comparable but lightyears ahead of any latino models you can think of.


What a beauty!

It was truly by chance I found out that she was for sale and instantly decided to buy it. After one month of scraping whatever resources I could get my hands on, she finally became mine.

It took me a while to get used to the throttle and clutch, but driving her was never a chore. A light tap on the accelerator gave me almost the same amount of power as ¾ throttling my Satria. Of course the extra cams and displacements play a huge part in it but boy, did it feel good! The beauty of this car is that the VVTi kicks in at almost any RPM range and the torque for me is, how should I put it? JUST RIGHT. High but not overbearing.


In action!!

The ride too took me a little getting used to. Due to the coilovers, the ride is bumpy on the straights, but in corners it is heaps more stable compared to my Satria. No complaints from me there though, as we autocrossers love the bends and corners more than the straights, or we shall be named “DRAG-ers”. I only have to point in the direction I want to go and the car takes me there smoothly most of the time. Notice I said most of the time and not all the time? Times that the car doesn’t take the corners well are coincidentally times when my balls swell to the size of basketballs and charge into corners like a raging bull! But hail the Lord, both my car and I are still in one piece, albeit with ball the size of peanuts now.


Beauty and the beast!

Moving along, we shall explore the aesthetics of the Trueno, for it is my favourite part of the car. This has got to be one of Toyota’s best designs, with curves and bulges at the right places, maintaining an extremely sexy aura while looking fierce at the same time. The pop-up headlights draws attention wherever she goes, and the yellow fog lights blend well with the headlights, creating a beautiful, bright pathway for me to drive through. Guess what? I have power windows too!!! Usually that is nothing to shout about but when you have driven for 4 years without one, this is an extremely welcome change. I no longer have to stretch like a bitch to open the passenger window. The highlight of all this though is the sunroof. It is basically a fail-safe chick magnet, which I have tried and tested and bloody hell it sure works like a charm.


Works as a mirror too!

She would be going through her first test really soon, with GRA 2007 Championship round one coming soon. Let’s all keep out fingers crossed, heads bowed down in silent prayer for the safe journey of beauty and the beast!

The beautiful "end"

Genting..after a long while..

YS Khong wanted to test out the mazda 6 so 4 cars went up..

the BEAUTIFUL BMW M4 and the "bigred chicken wing"

Trip to Koh Phangan (ACHTUNG: pics overload)

“What will we do for new year???”
“Let’s spend it in Thailand…then stay on for the infamous FULL MOON PARTY!!”

well that’s not exactly what happened but nonetheless 3 of us went backpacking to Thailand…destination??? Koh Phangan!!

Introducing the suspects….

Gerald aka Penguin

Diddy

The trip took us 8 hours to Hatyai, 4 hours to SuratThani, 1 hour to Dongsak and finally 3 hours to Koh Phangan.. a word of caution if u guys are traveling in Thailand..beware of the fat lady travel agent in SuratThani..if ur there chances are u will have to deal with her… EVERY SINGLE PERSON we’ve talked to was duped by her.. even diddy’s brother who went 2 years ago.. FUCKIN BITCH!

Guess what I did on my first day in Koh Phangan??? I GOT MYSELF A TATTOO!!

it says Nigel in thai..

Taxis were fuckin expensive in Koh Phangan.. so guess what?? We rented bikes!!

I learnt how to ride a bike with a clutch there…and the 150cc Honda CBR felt so good I think I’m gonna get a bike of my own here… Suzuki FXR 150 here I come!!!

Some places that we stayed…


FOOD!!! Nothing special about the prices…but the taste is awesome…I miss it already…
THIS though I have to mention…hotpan cum steamboat buffet for 89 baht!! Pretty cheap and REALLY delicious!!


The beach where it all happens…Haadrin Beach!
New years’ party, full moon party…the nightlife..where all the action happens…
Its so crazy that we gave up staying there after just 1 night coz it was too noisy at ANY HOUR of the day!!party ppl, if u haven’t been here..u have been to no beach party before!



This is an area where ppl too drunk to even stand can pass out...I SHIT U NOT!! there's even a huge caucasion guard there to stop ppl from harrassing the drunkards!!

We went around the island on our bikes almost everyday.. the view around the island..expecially the coast is awesome…words can’t do it justice…heck even pictures can’t do it justice…


Guess what??? Me and Diddy went for a Muay Thai training session with Chinnarach, former Thai national champion.. it was tiring and painful..but all in all a whole lot of fun!!



us with Chinnarach, our coach and his championship belts... he refused to let me take a picture with his belts without us in it!! =P

All in all this is a FANTASTIC TRIP!! Met many ppl, did crazy stuff… Koh Phangan is the place to go not only for crazy parties but a perfect place for a honeymoon and a getaway…

Disagree??? Go see for youself
