Lotus everywhere in the streets.

I was in Thailand and now I am back in Thailand again. Despite all the news in regards to politics situation over here, the people here are very peaceful and friendly. Life here is very relaxing and lots of people actually take time to have pots of water outside their houses. The most common flower blooming from the pot of water is lotus. All kind of colors...

Oh... I am getting fat here as well... something that kinda hard to happen in Singapore. Heehee...

Respect

I had a little time right now while waiting for a client and decided to blog...

Not too long ago, while I was standing beside my car there was a young guy beside my car as well. Not sure if the senior guy is his dad or not, they were definitely talking about my car in my face.

"Auto?", young guy.

"Hmmm..... when did WRX got auto?", senior guy.

".........", a friend of theirs who looked puzzled.

"It must be a WRX wannabe! Where got auto WRX one? Chey.... A TS lah...", young guy. He was looking at me while saying these when I was getting into my car. He went on, "Put scoop can go faster meh? Hahaha!"

The senior guy gave me a polite nod while the two young guns walked away laughing and gave me that kind of "Yo WRX wannabe... how fast can your TS go?" look....

Later on, I noticed that the senior guy was driving a manual WRX 06/07 with FGK exos. Very nice white ride with black trim. Very nice number too. When they walked past my car later on again... the young guy still gave me that kind of 'silly' look on his face...

Poor chap... made a fool of himself without even knowing...

My07 has auto version and the intercooler is real. The scoop is real. The rear Subaru brakes are factory fitted and real. Automatic WRX, is not a dream......

Respect...

Finally, I had stickers on my ride!

Although with heavy schedules that JJ Decal Hub was having, James still managed to squeeze out time to finish my ride on a Saturday's evening.

I was thinking of matt black trim on my ride and thus came out with such a silly idea about wide body sticker decal instead.

My less than a year ride suffers lots of dings and dongs all around. Maybe using stickers could spice up the ride a little but not too flamboyant.

James does alot more car decals and seriously his workmanship is pretty impressive. A nice chap with a nice and focused attitude in his decal business.

If you just wish to drop by to take a look, you will probably find a few scoobies around messing around in the carpark. You can find him here!

Finally, I fishED!!!

6.30am, I found myself standing in Lower Pierce Resvr's carpark. At this time of the day, when the sky was still dark there were already so many cars here.

With my tackle in hands, I gingerly walked towards the water to wet my line. Along the way, lots of senior citizens are getting ready to do their morning workout. I am impressed!

I stood underneath a lamp post and started fixing up my rod and reel. Joggers went past me with friendly smiles. I dug into my new sling bag and found the old and trustworthy Yozuri Mag Minnow. I found myself beside the water moments later...

I read the water and positioned myself. Less than 10 casts, I had a hooked up. The peacock bass took air and the line went limp. I was encouraged. Owning the water all to myself, I felt so carefree and time seemed to slow down too.

I cast again at the same place where I missed that flying fish and immediately at the strike zone, I saw the peacock bass chasing my little lure. I wasn't sure if that was the same fish but this little one just gave chase.

I switched to twitching immediately upon seeing such and immediately a hookup at strike zone again! This time, I landed it and shot it with my trusty Sony T3. I caught a second one at the same strike zone too! Shot and released.

Time seemed to stop for a while but the insects and birds continued to wake up the forest behind me. Suddenly, I saw two little swirls in the water not too far away from me. Stepping on slippery rocks, I moved myself carefully and slowly towards the swirls. The rocks were loose and they cracked when I set foot on them... The cracks were so loud and crisp in the morning. The sun was slowing rising behind me... I felt so tranquil and so at ease...

The little Mag Minnow wasn't attractive at all. I saw two peacock basses chasing it but later they stopped. They started going after my line that was just above the water. "Popper!", I thought.

I got no poppers!

I decided to switch to a even lighter lure - Rapala Husky Jerk. Swimming the lure near the surface, the two young fellows fell for it. Shot and released as well.

Now, I am thinking when could I fish again...

Believe it or not....

Fly Fishing Club Singapore

After many years, together with many fly fishermen, our dream to form a recognized fly fishing club in Singapore is finally coming true.....

Looking at my dusty fly rods, equipment etc... Suddenly I feel the need to pick them up and start 'flying' again.

The committee is forming and soon... Fly Fishing Club Singapore will be REAL!

Meanwhile, stay tuned to "Fly Fishing Singapore" and "Fly Fishing Club Singapore".

WRXs and EVOs... can u decide?

Some pictures of Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand

Arriving at Chinatown of Bangkok. Greetings from the infamous traffic jam.....


Traditional cold, spicy and sour seafood delights. "Look at the mantis shrimps!!!"
(I didn't eat any as I am afraid that my tummy just could not take it. I used to love them when I was young when my grandpa used to home make them.)

Never ending allies... walked till I almost wanna give up...

Arriving at the famous mekong cats fishing pond.

This is Alex (not me). I looked too shag to be on the camera... hahaha

This place is pretty big and really very cozy.

Probably the best tackleshop in the whole of Thailand... (Singapore is a heaven for fishing fanatics to purchase tackles at really low prices when compared to our neighbours and even all to way to USA and Europe.)

Very nice hangouts for those who wish to stay overnight at the pond.

Subaru Legacy with sharks.

You dont want to mess with this.... hahaha

Disappearing car doors???

The future of car doors.... is here.....

Software Husband 1.0

Hahaha.... this is very funny..... =) enjoy reading.....


====================================================


Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to
Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the
overall performance, particularly in the flower and
jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly
under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many
other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5
and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed
undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0,
NBA 3.0, Premier League, Counter-Strike and
World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and
House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these
problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

Dear Desperate,

First keep in mind: Boyfriend 5.0 is an
entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an
operating system. Try entering the command
C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download
Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0 .

If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should
then automatically run the applications Jewellery
2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, over use can cause Husband
1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour
7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1. Late Night 6.1 is a
very bad program that will create
SnoringLoudly.wav files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-
Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program.
These are not supported applications and will
crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program,
but it does have a limited memory and cannot
learn new applications quickly.

You might consider additional software to
improve memory and performance. I personally
recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9.

Good Luck,
IT Support
