drilling thoughts

throttle peddle jammed yesterday.

could not brake with ease.

had to switch the engines off while rolling,

kicked the peddle back out, restarted the beast.

a good way to wake up before work.




spent today's working morning not at work, spent at the mechanics, had to fix the problem.

not knowing cantonese still sucks, being i still resort to body gestures to tell my mechanic what i wanted fix.

he fixed it like i was the worst thing that happened to his life, poor guy, can't blame him, fixing other people's problems day in day out, probably wondering why people cant take care of themselves.

but hell, he looks fit, at least most of em do, that's the beauty of a labour intensive job, you're paid peanuts but the workout is free.




spent two hours fixing and servicing my car, had nothing much to do but read the papers and find out how the government would want future high rises to be earthquake proof,

what about my apartment? do i get some compensation for a crappily built piece of shit,

where murky water creeps out of my parquet when the penthouse resident decides to fill his jaccuzi every now and then?

or i'd just rather be happy if assholes above me stop throwing thrash from above, stinking the whole joint.

but i guess i do the same thing to my mechanics, sure i'm paying them, but it doesn't mean they have to give me service with a smile, even though competition is tough.


that's what i like about this country, it's honest, and most people know it.

phew finally

the first of firsts, i mean second,

i mean i hardly wanted to fall into the land of blogging, but i desperately wanted to comment on someone elses blog, but the freakin site could only allow bloggers to comment, imagine that?

what's the big deal anyway? i mean anyone like me could just simply sign up and do the same thing,

someone like me who fell for the ingenious trap that allowed me to be suckered to lay my thoughts on the web for all to see,.....damn it all.

what's worse, this is actually my second blog! in the space of 5 mins.

it was all about starting the first blog, had to try to come up with a stupid address name, but so many stupid lines had already been taken, so i simply typed in anglodurianciku.blogspot.com,

and i guess in the middle of setting my first blog up, my IE decided to crash,

so now my first blog still appears in my account but there is no way of getting to it,

thus the creation of my second.

and i swear no longer to be suckered into it anymore, so please do not respond to anything on this blog, or i would be obliged as a curious cat to keep this blog alive.

dumb-ass signing out.
