School's In

Well, school starts today. So no more of sitting and lazing around doing nothing. I'm kind of broke right now, so got to rekindle saving modes back. Well, yet to go to school. Lesson's start in the afternoon for Monday, so I'll be off to school later than usual Monday mornings.

First lesson, would be Japanese. Hope all goes well. Feel kind of lethargic to leave home, after spending so much time at home. Got to study hard and make the same improvement i did last semester. Hope i can do well. Wonder if the modules would be fun. I do hope so. It can be tough, but if it's stimulating to the brain and fun, it'll be a breeze for me.

Well, thats about it then.

If You See Him Say "Alamak"

Was just reading some articles about Mas Selamat and his escape. I wonder if they aired the show "Prison Break" in Singapore prisons? Pretty good show, but unfortunately the design of the prison cell isn't the same. The ones on the show are U.S styled. The cell that Mas Selamat escaped from was Singapore style. I'm sure the designers would have "Kiasu-ed" a bit and designed the prison cell blue print to be more interesting by not having a sink or toilet for him to escape through like in the show. More to the prison looking like this picture below.


Well anyway, many people thought he is off some where laughing his ass off from his escape. Some felt that he flushed him self through the toilet which is utterly ridiculous. On the other hand, lets congratulate everyone in their help to be more vigilant and to apprehend him some time soon. Some time soon as in soon. But i don't know when the soon would be, but should be soon. That was just to confuse you. Haha


My main purpose of this entry would be that, many have made different speculations of him or how he escaped. I had to have one of my own too. Not a speculation, but in fact a short poem for him. Here it goes


Mas Selamat
You Eat Nasi Lemak
When You See The police you say "Alamak"

When you are in Malaysia, they say "Selamat Datang"
When you are in Singapore they say "Selamat Hari Raya" - Because you are in deep trouble(Sarcastic for him)

So Mas Selamat
Eat All the Nasi Lemak you can
When you get caught you gonna say "Almak kenna polis! Mati la!"


Meaning of certain words:

Alamak - OMG!!!/ Frantic

Selamat Datang - Welcome

Alamak kenna polis - OMG caught by police


Disclaimer:


The poem is solely for utter fun and enjoyment, it's not racist towards any religion or Mas Selamat himself. It's just a parody of his escape.

Shell V - Power Collector's Garage 2008

Yesterday, i managed to collect the final Ferrari car from Shell. It's about this promotion, that whenever you pump petrol or diesel to your vehicle, you can redeem these limited edition Ferrari cars for $5.95. The cars cost $5.95 as they feature the real original sound of the car. It's a new feature of these limited edition cars. My dad, collected the final car yesterday and bought the garage as well, to house the cars. Pretty happy indeed. First time ever i manage to collect all of them. The last time was a few years back, and i wasn't so keen then. Now I'm keen to collect such items, as they would prove valuable and mark a mile stone of your life when you look back in time. Thanks to Shell and Ferrari for having this collaboration. And a big thanks to my dad for getting them for me. He paid for it as well. Thanks


Shell Petroleum Company


Ferrari



Well, having collected all the 7 Ferrari cars, i took some pictures of them and posted them below. Well, here are the pictures. Enjoy.


This is the box the Garage came in. This Garage will house the cars. The cars are collected separately. The white bit of paper is due to them covering a part of the name on the box. I think they spell it wrongly. It's supposed to be "V-POWER COLLECTOR'S GARAGE 2008". Upon my itchy hand i peeled part of it to discover that it was previously known as "V-POWER RACING COLLECTOR'S GARAGE 2008". I have no idea why the word "Racing" had to be there. Made no sense. Haha. Printing error or maybe name change. Fickle minded designers?


This is the Garage. It's an acrylic case that was developed with Ferrari. Costs $29.95 dollars. As you would have realized, i put the cars into the garage already. Haha



That was just the appetizer of the menu. Below I've posted the pictures of the cars with their individual packaging. I'm the type that collects the packaging of an item if it's nice. These packagings really deserve a place in my cupboards. They are really nice. Consider me weird, but thats just me! Haha


Ferrari 575 GTC


Ferrari 360 - Challenge Stradale


Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano


Ferrari FXX


Ferrari 250 GTO


Ferrari F430 Challenge


Ferrari F40


All the cars together


I guess that would be all. Well See ya.
