Back to reality

And so the love affair with the roadster lasted for less than a yr. Everything came and went in a flash, shit cos I got no time to bid a final farewell before we trade for the beemer.

I dug deep into my 2006-2007 archives and found only I had only one outing with the mazda. Doesn’t help when 2007 was a blerdy busy yr for all of us.

The NB MX-5 was definitely a fun ride, and having said that, I must say that is all it has to offer. The car felt like a toy right from the onstart, the plasticky interior, the manual soft top and having to need an extra pair of hands when u want to remove/put on the hard top. There is zeeero practicality to the car, the jap designers definitely designed this over sats/suns; it serves well to be a weekend ride, or rather a weekend-night out drive in 'good' weather. And no-rain doesn’t define ‘good’ weather; you need a cool climate as well cos the air con doesn’t serves well despite the crampy cabin.

Coming back to the fun part, it is surely a cute car to drive around town, a mini head-turner. Try avoiding the rubbish trucks/buses/fortuners beside you at the lights and everything is alright. I had the luxury of being given the chance to drive the RWD and yet not owning it on a daily basis. The few times I took it out for a spin with gf we had lotsa fun and laughs with the top down strolling around in town and marina south.


The 1.8-liter BP-Z3 I4 serves up enough power for easy maneuvering its short 2265mm wheelbase. Drive is energetic and vibrant across all ranges (esp when the loud engine note is so audible within the cabin), and gives u the happy dial feel of 120 when ya actually doing 90 on the 1ton machine.

In any case, I’m sure the couple’s glad to be back in the german camp again with the E90. And this time round, I’m taking it for a shoot soon. Just in case.

:: 1 year ::

Over a hundred episodes of HK serials together, thousands of hours over the phone, countless jokes, laughter and tears and seeing each other for 364days in a yr -- we are past the significant 1st year.

Shopping for her gift cant be easier; I had this in mind since sept:

Well I think it’s a beautiful piece of jewel, and these are words from someone who doesn’t appreciate stones or metals.

Most importantly, she will be extremely pleased I bothered to check out that corner shop at taka.

Dear her made me a sweet photo book, its a lovey dovey walk down memory lane as you turn the pages. There were our 'firsts' of everything, the overseas trips, the the candid shots, all nicely captured.

And we had a quiet and slow dinner at Wacha. Nothing beats good food, nice ambience while talking hearts out just like it was the first date again.

HAPPY 1 YEAR DARLING :)

Thank you for everything.

Up close & personal with iPhone

Mrs cheng got the pirated-smuggled-hacked Apple phone and i got to first hand try it out.

Well, in actual fact, there are more cons than pros getting the iPhone.

Firstly, it doesnt import all ur contacts on the sim.

Second, it doesnt have a stylus, its an out-and-out 1001% full touch screen phone.

Lastly, Sis' phone failed to engage smses by the 2nd day.

BUT WHO CARES!!!! ITS COOL!!

Verdict: I'm getting one once it comes in via Singtel.

The resolution is amazing, perfectly complimenting the highly touted animation within. The phone responds cleverly to every touch, and there's a feeeeeel connection between phone and user.

Simi HTC Group. NEH. Muahahaa~~ :P
