last-minute travel plans: i will be jetting off to a very sunny japmanland aka japan on the 8th of June in the wee hours of the morning. and therefore.......

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

am really quite excited. will be going to visit my grandmother, cousins and other relatives. fantastic. will be going to okinawa, where one of my relatives lives. its a tiny offshore island which is a 2-hour plane ride from osaka kansai airport. it's supposed to be really rich in culture and had military links from the past.

DID YOU KNOW? okinawa was not part of japan in the past. it was called the kingdom of the ryukyus. haha betcha didnt know that and are probably gonna forget it after say, 10 minutes.

last night was really tiring, though very satisfying. NO, i did not go to geylang. no it wasn't orchard towers. and no it wasnt roland's house.

it happened at a carpark...

it was kinda dark. and i was starting to get really hot...

there was no one else around...

i was starting to feel really hot as I pressed my hands on the rubber...

sweat started to drip from my palms and was all over my body...

my muscles tightened and i started to pant...

i jerked over and over and over again, each time accompanied with a loud grunt...

the nuts just wudnt budge.

one more jerk, one more would do it surely...

"ARGHHHHHH"

and it was out. finally, at long last.

if only i had paid more attention when my dad used to change the tyres last time. maybe it wudnt have taken so long.

my mum had a flat tyre cos some nail got stuck in the front right wheel and as it was late at night and im the only man in the house, i volunteered to change the tyre and put the spare in, so that she could drive to the tyre workshop the next day. it took really long and I was soaked. changing a tyre is as good as playing soccer for 30min. it is that tiring and sweat will coat your whole body. just like in soccer. but at the end of it, it is really satisfying, especially when the nut securing the tyre is finally removed, as it sure took a lot of strength to unscrew it. putting it back in was relatively easy though. as u can see, im rather good at screwing. hehe.

and now that im done with that, guys, please go check out myheritage.com. its a site where u can use a free demo to see which celebrity u look like. just upload a few photos of yourself, and the software will tell you which celebrities' faces resemble yours. so i took five shots of myself on my digital camera, and uploaded them. so how this works is different poses might yield different results, so if u send in several shots, and somehow, say, brad pitt turns up all the time, chances are, u really look like him.

MY RESULTS:
football-related:
ruud gullit 60%
patrick kluivert 61%
ronaldinho 48%
ronaldo 46%
diego maradona 54%

celebrities:
jesse metcalfe 56% and 59% (got him twice)
p diddy 72% and 55% (twice too)
viktor yuschenko 57% and 50% (twice too)
jet li 60% 45% (twice too, sadly)

whoopi golberg 51%
elisha cuthbert 50%
jared leto 46%
suzuki ichiro 46%
leslie cheung 46%

must say the results really surprise me. b4 i did the test, i thot my greatest likeness was probably theo walcott. but as he's not a celeb yet, maybe thats why he's not there in the list. but oh well must say im pleasantly surprised with jesse metcalfe of desperate housewives in my list.

basically im a mix of viktor yuschenko, jesse metcalfe, p diddy and jet li. with the mix of black white and yellow, i might end up looking like a zebra with half its body coated by mustard.

which sounds kinda delicious actually.

oh and i got a 100% likeness to takeshi kaneshiro!! kidding. im not that ugly u know.

cya all when i get back from the land of the hunky mixed-breeds, japan, where their mixed kids with japanese and singaporean blood turn out looking GORGEOUS. just ask me. i should know.

till next time. sayonara!
