ban it...!

comex should be banished from suntec city.......... the entire area was paralysed........!!!!!

i was not going to comex and have no wish to be stuck in the traffic for no reason........

for god's sake.... every carpark was FULL..!!!!!!!!!..... and i saw cars parked on double-yellow lines and back lanes ..... almost everywhere....

crazy.......!!!!!!!!!

arent they the same???

i needed a replacement earpiece for a 02 pda phone......... and so i saw a motorola universal earpiece with mini usb connector.......

thinking all mini usb connectors are the same, i wanted to try the headset.......... haha it didnt work on my dopod....

weird huh....... and i thought it's "UNIVERSAL"........ :)

where's the fish?

surprisingly ferrari did not use the shark's fin at the monza test........ see pic

hmmm i guess maybe that feature was not required for a low downforce setup...... we'll find out in due course.....

well it was used at the european grand prix .....

Bang...!

on the way home this evening...... while travelling along the PIE (towards changi airport) ..... and approaching the slip road to the airport......... i saw........ a signature shape appearing in my rear view mirrors...... yellow in colour and getting closer........at least it looked like a gallardo, i thought..... but it got closer and closer and a ferrari it is.....

since i was on the right, i decided to "give way" to this MUCH more expensive car....... of cos my main intention is to have a closer look.......... i had wanted to follow it through the bend that leads to the ECP (towards city)........ but i had no chance to let it through..... too bad

i was kinda disappointed when the ferrari braked very early and took the bend leisurely...... with that i decided to carry on as per normal at my usual speed......

once i hit the ECP i then maintained my speed of 90 kph and of cos in no time, the ferrari caught up ......... and this time round, i let passed and then tagged along ..........

ah now i could see S**6060C....... a modena 360 spyder in yellow............... hmmm, i very much enjoyed the exhaust note .....i even let the window down so as to hear better haha...... a little bit louder is preferred though hehe....

well good times dun last....... and it was time to say goodbye as i exited at my usual spot........ BYE>.....! next time maybe.....

i kinda remembered...........there was once i saw a pagani zonda on ECP too.... but sorry the car is plain ugly.....:)

crap

i caught a delayed telecast of the f1 european grand prix on RTM1 (a malaysian channel) on sunday night...........

wow ...... fantastic and refreshing!!!!!! why? cos i did not have to listen to steve slater (the espn starsports commentator for f1)..............

i wish i have the choice when it comes to the live telecast on espn starsports ............ he's always making mistakes .....

how i wish i can kick him off the show....... hehe.........

tough choices....

i am a big fan of converse sneakers..... especially the shape and comfort......

so the elan sneakers by vuitton are also COOL ....... but they are many times more expensive than converse.... i can buy 4 high performance tires for the price of a pair....... hehe

well well, one cannot simply buy every pair so no matter what, have to make a painful decision............ which one should it be...??? or maybe i should pass...????



damier lune is a recent introduction............... and the colour contrast is awesome....

damier ebony has been around for ages but still very cool ...........

cocoa against damier ebony is a very courageous effort........... somehow i think it falls short of vuitton's usual high standards

this one is the ultimate in COOL............ the latest....... you'll never go wrong with this.... :)

ooppps

i wrote about the lollipop man......... apparently ferrari stop this practice 2 seasons ago.....

now they use a lighting/signal system...... obviously there's something wrong with it, if not kimi wouldnt have moved off....

time to reflect on it....

oh my god...

i am having a real headache at work..........

and i think i shd get use to a new way of working...... if not i will suffer and rot away......

ah time to go home and quickly too.!

to be fair...

to be fair to adrian sutil, i dun think he did anything wrong at the pit incident....

yes, massa was the lead car but there's no blue flag in the pits...... so sutil was not obligated to give way..... especially when he was alread at the pit lane speed limit (80 kph)......

and of cos massa had no way of knowing where sutil was..... massa was effectively BLIND then

therefore who should we go after? well, the lollipop man of cos! he should have kept his eyes open....

fortunately ferrari escaped with a reprimand........... anything more would be a disaster ...!

YES felipe..!!

oh yes...! what a commanding performance from felipe massa........ ! right from the word GO, i can see how determined he was...... fearless and flawless he was......

as much as ferrari celebrated the win for massa, i think they are very worried about kimi as well......... last time round massa suffered an engine blowout and it was kimi's turn this weekend...... very bad for the team's morale and reputation..... haha

to add to the insult, there was a major confusion during kimi's 2nd pitstop..... someone apparently gave kimi the signal to go before the fuel nozzle was disengaged............ and someone was knocked over.............my heart goes out to the mechanic(s) who were injured bcos of the incident...... hope they are ok.....

can kimi come back and defend his title..??? hmmm....... at the moment the man on form is massa...... so kimi really need some luck ....

i hope before f1 comes to singapore, massa would have fought back to lead the drivers' world championship....... let's see let's see

something wrong

haha i think there's something seriously wrong with the weather .......... cos like yesterday, it's been non-stop rain on sunday too......

sigh....... to remain dry might as well stay at home...... going out is not an option haha

ended up being a couch potato for the weekend .......

at least the english premier league is back .... and of cos we have the european grand prix in a few hours' time......

tempting.......

just received a LV feature catalog on the damier graphite range.......

ah so tempting......... i hate temptations......... hehe........... especially hard to resist......

within the range my fav is the elan sneaker...............

i think they will gradually expand the range........... and i hope to see more city bags.... and small leather goods......

time to save up...

urgh...? titanium BR...........

the BR-01 is quite a nice watch (not for the money though)....... but this version in titanium, sigh, is a step backward........... especially the bezel, urgh!

i bet most ppl would still go for the ones in stainless steel

yeah GO felipe..!

yes yes.....

after that major disappointment in budapest, felipe massa came back strongly to set the fastest time in Q3 this evening to earn P1....

can he go on to win on sunday? hmmm.... keeping my fingers crossed.....

it's really a disgrace to see new street circuits on the f1 calender......... sigh new ones should be banned outright..!

too dangerous...... lack of run-off areas, concrete walls, slippery surfaces...... well the list goes on......

do you...???

do you like a touch-screen ...???? or kinda prefer the conventional buttons....???

it could apply to PDA or handphone or digital camera or just anything under the sun..... like the microwave?

i think i prefer buttons.......... :)

call me old-fashioned if u like haha.......

there is a certain kick associated with pressing buttons..... than just tapping on a touch-screen...... somehow i cant explain it......

rainy season.......

i think the rainy season is here..... it's been rainy non-stop since morning....

and over the past few days, the sky is just gloomy cloudy and grey.....

dampens the mood if one is thinking of going out..... haha

might as well stay at home

and catch the olympics action on tv....

remote control..???? JLC again....

seriously i dun quite understand why they made this............ which is also a transponder for the aston martin dbs.....

yes it is a beautiful car.... and there is a beautiful watch.......... but having to use the watch to operate access to the car? dun think it's necessary............ sure it sounds cool ..... but nah, what if i wish to wear another watch when driving??? should i leave the amvox 2 dbs transponder at home???

and i think the non-transponder version looks better........ haha.......... having that big DBS on the dial is sucky..........

3 in 1....

so to ensure i wake up in time this morning............ i set my seiko alarm clock....... hoseki digital alarm with snooze function and also my radio with timer.......

but i still managed to sleep on a little while more....... i guess i just like to sleep............ :)

better late than to give up 5 mins of my sleep..! and better late than never....

such a chore..

yes such a chore to wakeup so early in the morning....... cos i have to attend a meeting much earlier than i start work.....

as usual i hit the snooze button in a flash........ and a few times after the first.......! fortunately i managed to wakeup in time .... if not i am done for.... haha

did my job ok and now counting down to 5.30 pm.........

i know i have a problem waking up on time ......... maybe i love sleeping too much and just dun wanna get out of bed....... is more alarm clocks a solution??? or shd i start sleeping earlier..... ???

how do you cope with that???

so cute cute..!!

gosh......... what can i say??? this is SOOOOOOOOO adorable haha..........

your kids might love this sneaker in damier azur....

glidelock bracelet by rolex

copyright rolex

now this shows you how complicated the glidelock bracelet is...... in fact, it's an engineering marvel and also quite an overkill ...... adjustment on the fly is now possible.....

rolex clasps used to be a laughing stock but things are different now............... the current models with the stamped metal clasps will very soon be replaced.....

from memory, only a few are left......

explorer
explorer 2
yachtmaster
submariner ss and tt (there is a new submariner yg/wg this year)

free market...

in a capitalist and free-market economy, prices of goods and services are usually dictated by demand and supply......... of cos other factors like overhead, taxes, labour costs etc would also come into play......

many collectors baulk at the prices ADs are asking for popular rolex models........ some examples, notably are

daytona ss 116520
submariner ss 16610lv aka green bezel (prices have soften a little recently)
gmt master 2 ss 116710
milgauss 116400 and 116400gv
deepsea sea-dweller 116600

no doubt the hottest watch of the year for rolex is the massive deepsea............ i believe all the ADs and private sellers are looking to reap as much as they can in the coming months....... the deepsea would also likely be stealing the thunder from the very popular 116710 when it arrives.....

i think there's a likelihood that the price for the 116400 might be approaching MSRP soon....... and watch out for the 16610 when rolex launches a new submariner ss in 2 years' time..... i bet prices for that discontinued model will shoot through the roof.... anyway that's my guess

lightning.....!

well..... how can a man run so fast.....????

haha.... what a race it was ..... cos bolt was running against himself and of cos the clock........ no one else was near.......

unbelievable..... how can a man run so fast....???....

deep diver..... seawolf

is there a race to go deeper and deeper...??? it could be...... well i mean the depth rating for dive watches......

so this new breitling is quite a deep diver.......... 10,000 ft to be exact .... very impressive indeed.... and not far off from what the rolex deepsea sea-dweller can do......

on the other hand, there is no difference between 10,000 ft and 13,000 ft in practical terms...... no one can go that deep anyway....... haha



at the very least, almost every surface of the seawolf is matt-finished...... and that's how i like them to be.....



if i have to be critical, one sore point is the oversized 6 and 9 o'clock markers...... way TOO BIGGGGGGG.......



dun u think so?

wow

this recruitment advertisement is SOOO long-winded...................

cant they just say.... JOIN US....!!....

very fast......

launched in basel this year, the everose gold daytona is so new that we have yet to see any at ADs..... at least in singapore.....

however, there is already one put up for sale at watchnet.com

http://forums.watchnet.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=228858&rid=0

that's fast .... indeed....

but i dun really like this dial that much...........

shoes for zegna.....

it's pretty fun to go online for window shopping............ for it's just browsing, no touching allowed haha.............. too bad "money not enough".......

and i found some interesting designs from zegna................ very cool.....







i like....!!

dunhill d8 sneaker.....

my fav is still the sneaker...... and this is NEW from dunhill

looks delicious..... :)

should go to the boutique to take a look ..........

really it's nice....

loaf loaf loafer LV....

i am not quite a loafer fan but i find that this is pretty nice...... good about the embossed damier pattern too......


maybe i can "learn" how to wear loafers haha.....

so tired...

so sleepy and so tired........... fortunately it's time to go home......

i have no wish to sleep in office.....

dun compare...

after watching that spectacular opening ceremony of the olympic games, the national day parade 08 really pales in comparison.....

well i shouldnt compare but i cant help it....... cos it came so soon after the first.....

and the black knights ought to fly lower....... when i wast at sepang for the f1 a few years ago, the malaysian air force's mig-29s did their routine at at at a really accessible altitude...... could almost see the pilot's face..! that's how low they went.....

come on u guys can do better.....

doxaaaaaaa doxa

the look remains the same..... as with other doxa dive watches....

but here is a new material being used in the PVD process..... TiALCN (Titanium-Aluminum-Carbon-Nitrate)...... which is claimed to be super hard and super scratch resistant.....

i dun quite like the bracelet though......

happy birthday singapore

9th August 2008 is singapore 43rd birthday.......... :)

ooppps

well well on the way to work this morning........... i saw a toyota/lexus rx car lying in a ditch........ location at sliproad of ECP (towards Changi Airport) into PIE.......

i cant tell what happened though........ driver error????

too bad many slowed down just to take a LOOK...!!

my dream watch..!!

richard mille has released more pics via horomundi on this latest rm011.........

oh my gosh i wanna this but it's so expensive....... the last known list price is S$128, 999 and i have no idea if this version will cost more....



haha maybe i can try selling all my watches ..... but no no, i am not going to do that............



so this will have to remain as a dream for now.............

but it's SO NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE............ and it makes me DROOOOOOLLLLLLL

pics from jaw @ horomundi.com

camoooooo

i dun really like this print but for a passport holder it sure looks good...........

most ppl, however, dun use such seasonal items for long....... which is kinda a waste.....

might be better to stick with the usual monogram or damier..... and much easier to match with other LV accessories....

i wanna buy this too............!

wowow i like this ......the singapore f1 edition of the richard mille rm011-fm......!!

i like this black DLC case........!!.
i like the red flange....!!!......
i like the red accents on the crown.....!!!

can anyone tell me why are there 4 hour markers in red ...????

can i have one..???

50 pcs only........ so book yours today.....

the bad

known as the vice..

but i dun think it is bad enough ........ or nice enough in any way.....

"seriously lacking in effort" is all i can muster..... and not forgetting, "crudely put together"...

quirky

i find it weird to go back to work after a long rest......

haha...... i miss the days of staying home....

it's not so enjoyable to have to wake up early and on time to go to work.......

but i need to earn a living............ just like most common folks out there....

too bad.....
