Bliss

Lately I find my mind wandering into the distant future, about what it would it be like to be married, or to *gasp* finally settle down. Yes I know, 25, isn't exactly what I would call ripe, but I ain't getting younger by the day! And within a span of 1 month, two people I know have gotton married. One of them is my cousin, Meili, whose 2 years older than me and the other is my classmate Isabelle, 22 or 23 I think.

Weddings are an elaborate affairs nowadays. Dinner is accompanied by an interactive slide show of sorts capturing moments in the life of the couple. Watching the little presentation, I kinda got drawn into the whole fiasco. Imagine if that was me on the stage. It isn't too far down the road. Infact it could happen within the next 5 years, provided I strike "TOTO" or save like 70 grand. Its spine chilling when relatives ask, "so when will it be your turn?" only to be met by my deadpan answer "still long way lah". But you must admit the premise does excite me a little. The joy and happiness the wedding plus dinner would bring to yourself, partner and all your family and friends.

I sometimes will just fantasize about the whole affair. A nice quaint little ceremony at CHIJMES (I can't think of any other white chapels), tonnes of ribbons and confetti, everyone will be there. My wife-to-be looking radiant and sparkling in her white strapless gown (bareback I hope) holding a little bouquet of roses and a long white veil over her nicely done hair. It would be a dream come true...typing this brings a smile to my face. Then after that there would be the customary photo taking, where you get all those "Lee-Hwa moments". It sounds strange, but I am somehow looking forward to that day when it finally happens.

Adoration

There's just something about cars which makes me obsessed with them. And NO, working in a car magazine doesn't help matters. Day-in day-out, I'm bombarded by automotive terms, thunderous exhaust notes and the wail of a thousand VF34s going beserk. Sadly, I havn't gotten sick of it yet.

Hanging around workshops all day still thrills me especially if there is something in it for my car. (Covering other people's car being fitted with something - SUCKS BIG TIME) Which brings me to my pride and joy. I could just sit there and admire it the whole day. From the bodykit to the Euro-styled tailamps to the ridiculously high Spoon spoiler. Everything just blends in so cohesively.

When I first started plans for my car, I envisioned a Euro-style 206 style bodykit. Then came the kit, which made it look like 2Fast2Furious (its a good thing, trust me) then I just went all out with the Jap-racer look. Seeing it today, I would say, I'm very proud of how my car looks. The side profile is one of the best followed by this picture here.
