Jaguar

You guys know that since i have passed my driving licence I have become a car crazy person.
I like nice cars, i like really nice ans expensive cars i really do.
Exotic cars , vintage cars and super cars.I have a specific thing for European cars, American muscle cars do not appeal to me nor do the light weight of Japanese cars too. I just love European cars period. I think their engineering, workmanship and the luxury put into their cars are far more superior than any other. oh and it being a cabriolet is such a plus.

I was on the way to work the just the other day and this sleek thing rode up next to me. It was gleaming in the morning sun with its beautiful dark greenish colour. It was the new Jaguar XK convertible, you might have seen this car in the new beyonce's video she was sitting on it. If red is the official colour of a Ferrari and silver Mercedes then this green definitely belonged to the Jaguar.

Just looking at the silhouette of the car, oh so sexy, it gives you goosebumps. So smooth like a baby's bottom, so streamlined. It makes you look fast while standing still. The interior looks just as good, elegant cream leather seats with a walnut finish on the doors and dashboard , oh i think i am getting excited ha ha. Ah but looks is not everything because underneath that veneer of civilised smoothness there lies a monstrous V8 4.2 litre 420break horse power engine that goes from 0-100km/h in less than 5 seconds.I bet it would roar as loud as any Ferrari or Lamborghini. Underrated. My dad is a great fan of the jaguar, he used to have one when i was a small kid but had to give it up because it was too high of a maintenance, i will get him one. soon. =)

Such a perfect marriage of power and style into one car.

What a sight!

right?

Until the fucking owner or driver was digging his fucking nose in his fucking car and roll-fucking-ing it around.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!! DIGGING HIS NOSE WITH HIS BARE FINGERS IN A HALF A MILLION DOLLAR CAR. CAN'T HE AFFORD TISSUE PAPER AT LEAST?!?!?!?!?!?!? SPOILS THE IMAGE SO BADLY . JUSTICE NEEDS TO BE DONE I SAY!!!

There you go. My very (first) own wish list.

hahahhaa. i will add on!

Mr. David Tan
Ex-director of shell.

WHAT A MAN
such humility.
such humanity.
such knowledge.

Today we went for high tea with my dad's ex boss.
We visit him every year during the festives. So what's so special? Why does my dad visit someone every year without fail. What does my dad owe to this man? Well i found that out today.

What a rolemodel. My dad revealed to me that he was my his mentor and he was one of the biggest reason my dad is who he is now. It was David that took my father under his wing straight after graduation. My dad also said that what David taught my dad was secondary to how he treated my dad during his 15 year stint at Shell. My dad calls him a friend instead of boss.

I know i've visited this guy before but i've not really sat down with him to see this for myself. So this time i took the opportunity to really open my eyes and ears.

WHAT A MAN. At first sight you would not think that this was the regional boss of Shell , one of the most competitive oil companies in the world. Pint sized and always with a warm smile. He even remembers that i am the oldest of my brothers and all of our names! Some relatives dont even know i have a fourth brother! You know someone is special when he makes it a point to remember names.

He's so well read too. Always up to date and inquisitive. He even knew the thomas trains on my baby brother's shirt! He has a grandson who is also a thomas the train fanatic.

Unfortunately he is under going some treatment for his prostrate cancer. Still, he doesn't let that dampen his spirit or those around him always manage to crack jokes about himself and diapers. Such good eq skills.

When he talks to you he is so focused on you and vise versa when you talk to him. I am just a 19 year old kid talking to a man who used to make billion dollar decisions. And he gives me so much respect as a man, all with his eyes! I don't even feel intimidated by him.

I let him know i was interested in trading and stuff and he took his time to talk to me about, giving me tips on what to do if i am interested. Actually he just gave me one tip, learn from my dad. HAHA But what i really enjoyed was when he was advising me on where to study. It was like he totally understands me. Amazing.

Thank you Mr. Tan for the great 2 hour tea session. You have changed my life believe it or not.
It is not a wonder why my dad visits him every year without fail.
I can say i have sat down with one of the greatest men i have ever met so far.

SAM

Sam is a regular police officer.
Sam's rank is a sergeant.
Sam has been in the force for 12 years.
Sam has been a sergeant his whole life.

just to let you know. rankings in the police force goes like this

Special Constable (as good as recruit or priveate)
Corporal
Sergeant
Staff sergeant
senior staff sergeant
station inspector and so on.

Usually you can get up to a station inspector in 12 years. But not Sam. He's stuck at being a sergeant.

Why is sam like this?
It is because he is satisfied with life.
He thinks that it is enough. He is just living ''life''. It makes me wonder, how can you be satisfied with life? Life is all about the ''next thing'' the next hurdle the next object of desire the next (you get the picture). Sam is the type that when he finds a comfortable spot he will stay there and remain stagnent.
He tells me that he doesn't want anything else to look forward to. He says he's happy with where he is. Getting two thousand a month till he retires is good enough he says.

I am just dumbstruck by such a display of attitude towards life and himself. Tell me really, how can you be satisfied with what you have? Truth is, you can NEVER be satisfied with what you have. Its human nature. It is what makes us breathe and move and wake up the next morning. It is the drive that drives us. To want more. That crave, that lust , it isn't greed you know. It is survival. It makes life so much more fun. What is life without want or greed. What drives you?
What makes you move in a certain way.

I WANT MORE.

When you want more, you move more, you feel more.

HOW CAN YOU BE SATISFIED?!?!? oh my fucking god. i feel so angry. stupid fuck.

There is no I AM HAPPY
There is no I AM SAD
There is only i am happier or i am sadder. That my buddies is drive.
The fact that there is no limitations to feelings this makes life so fun because possibilities are endless.

When cavemen created fire. We created the torchlight and the microwave oven.
Hope and curiosity had a big hand in that.
Ergo, i am so angry knowing that this type of attitude exists, the world doesn't need this. The world don't need bummers.

Besides if you are so ''satisfied'' why not just die? why not just die ''happy''?

So don't lie to yourself, you are not happy you are not sad. You are just sadder or happier.
Don't tell yourself you are satisfied. A fucking lie. Don't escape from this, you'll
Dream to want more. Hope maybe humankind's greatest strength or weakness but it makes everything worth living for. I HOPE THIS CHANGED YOUR LIFE.

Although i know there are many points to argue back and stuff. This really can go on forever.


I feel like a tyler durden. =D

i got into a heated arguement with my father once and he told me something that i will never forget.
He said there was this frog in a winter country found a couldren and stayed in it, as it got warmer he began to feel comfortable so he stayed. It got ever warmer so he stayed. But it got too hot and he died in it. It turned out that he was in a boiling couldren.

The morale of the story? change. always change for the better, never stay stagnent. Look for something better or you will perish like the satisfied frog

sorry if this entry is messy. i am angry.


Stay on for part 2 on why we have this mentality of being ''satisfied'' and i blame the govt.

Met an interesting fella today.
This fella is half a decade older than me.
This fella is doing a business honours in NUS.
This fella said i was deep.
This fella said i was interesting.
This fella said it's suprising for someone my age to wonder about what i wonder.
This fella said its good to read up on george soros and warren buffet.
This fella made me realise that i am a george soros type.
This fella said i'll do well in business.
WOOOO WHAT A BOOST, straight from the mouth of an honours student!

Amazing. Everyone is interesting once you decide to try.

May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She, oh she

the elviseses are killing me. Mr. Costello and Mr. Presley
