Tokyo Auto Salon Show.

>Kelly
Thanks....my nose is no longer running away from me anymore.

>MayC
As a little kid, I've always thought that Ariel the Mermaid is the most beautiful girl on Earth. And Superman?? Yeah he was cool, but the blue Genie was my Hero...not guy with bright red underwear.

>Liyin
I headed for the Tower as soon as I got in....waited only for about 30mins. I enjoyed it soo much, especially the part where the doll disappeared, that I went again right after! So you can say that I rode the "Elevator of Death" twice in an hour...

>Steve Lee
Oi..oi....we all got flu mostly at the same time so don't blame me!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've just got my new haircut...yeah, a wild one...and was thinking of blogging about my hairdo. But I know that y'all prefer to see cars and sexy models rather than see my hair so...let's save it for the next post.

So what's Tokyo Auto Salon(TAS) Show anyway?

TAS is a show with custom cars...you know, cars with special paint and vinyls, modified body and engine....in shorter words, cool cars. And the models that accompany the cars are good stuff too. Better than the models at Tokyo Motor Show.

This event is all nice cars and nicer models so...little room for crap here. Anyway, here's the pics...

Photobucket
Like all shows with Cars and Models, a lot of people attend them. Their sole purpose? Getting in the way and preventing me from getting good shots of cars...

Photobucket
The 3 guys who went to the show....
We were bored with taking pictures of models and cars, and we decide to do a little mischief. We've decided to approach a model and ask her to take a picture of us instead of the other way round. Been taking their pic the whole day...time for them to return a favour, don't you think?....but then, we saw a booth with 2 models....so, I suddenly had a bright idea of asking one of the models to take a picture of us with another model, then walk away...and that was precisely what we did. But seconds after we left the booth, we saw the model(took pic WITh us) quarreled with model(took pic OF us)....haih, seems like our silly mischief broken up a perfectly good friendship.

Kinda regret doing what I did....but then again, this pic became a pic with a story to remember by...

Photobucket
Says "Rice Rocket". The owner wanted to tell the world that rice is Japan's staple food.

Photobucket
"Look at the car, not my sexy body"...
To be honest, I have no idea what car she was promoting...

Photobucket
Hot red Ferrari....car was so good looking that I did not see the model standing on the left until much later..

Photobucket
Just kidding.....of course I noticed the model!! Could you imagine me not noticing cute/pretty girls?

Photobucket
Cool car....prefer this to Ferrari...

Photobucket
Nissan unveiled the future of automobile....you'll be piloting a robot instead of driving a car. This way, you'll get to shoot rockets at cars who overtake you......now how cool is that? Say goodbye to the days when you can only show the middle finger.

Photobucket
The three Daihatsu babes....they done well cashing in on Japanese men's fetish for babes with glasses.

Photobucket
And here's the two fools who lined up to get our picture taken with the 3 babes with glasses. We both got polaroid shots each..

Photobucket
Another cool car...

Photobucket
There was a Lamborghini on display and I tricked him into getting into the car....haha...see the expression on his face? That's when the guy in charge told him to "GET OUT!!". They decided to close the doors after that so that no one else would try to get in.

Haih....Boon....so easily conned by me...

Photobucket
Wicked 22 inch wheels....

Photobucket
They've thought of a way to merge 2 of guys hobby, cars and soccer....saw the video and it was hilarious!!

Photobucket
Here's the smashed up car...

Photobucket
Cool paintwork....

Photobucket
Car designed by a frog, looks like a frog, for a frog...

Photobucket
A bevy of beauty.....

Photobucket
This girl stole my heart....I still have dreams of her....

Photobucket
"Cool cars makes my balding head looks sexy..."

Photobucket
Tatooed girls promoting paintwork....there were a beehive of men with saliva dripping down their mouth and I dare bet that NO ONE knew what the models were about...just look close at their butt...

Photobucket
It's a see through mini skirt with a pink T-back undies.....nose bleed!!

Photobucket
My head was still dizzy from the tattoed girls but still manage to sport a cool looking car...

Photobucket
Just got my heart rate to normal when this elegant chic set my heart racing again....

Photobucket
Spotted a disco ball and couldn't help but do a stupid pose...

Photobucket
Now that's a sexy car...

Photobucket
Awesomeness is just oozing from this car....

Photobucket
Some dude showing off his paint skills....

Photobucket
Super Massage Chair 2000. Uses speakers to do the massaging....

Photobucket
DE-LI-CIOUS...........

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket


So....think that those cars are cool? Now check this out!!

Photobucket

Let's take a closer look shall we??

Photobucket
Photobucket
Hmm....is this car a virgin? If this is a virgin, then I guess there won't be any petrol in it's tank. *wink *wink.....

Photobucket
Mitsubishi Girls.....my favourite is the one on the far right. Such a hot body!! And the way she dance....just....mesmerizing...can't.... must look away.....but can't....

Photobucket
It's not until after the girls left that I remembered that I was in a Car exhibition and took a pic of this car...

Photobucket
The car that is to be featured in a new movie by the Wachowski Brothers(Guys who done Matrix), titled Speed Racer.

Photobucket
My most precious pic of January 2008

Photobucket
Some sexy girl with a torn-back blouse and short shorts....

Photobucket
Whoops.....never judge a girl from the back view...

Photobucket
Last car of the day.....couldn't think of any better car to end the day with...


The day ended with me almost being hospitalized. I lost so much blood (nose bleeds) from looking at sexy models the whole day.....must bring a few blood packs with me next time.

Winter 2008 part 4: New year and Disney Sea

>stevelee
Yeah, you put it on the table, said it was Cheong's...then you ate it!! You did warn us....but you shouldn't eat it after warning us. That's like telling Adam not to eat the apple....

>Chong Shen
Wow....most of you guys have started working and I'm still a "student". Damn...I feel so left out. You'd probably say that student's life is the best...but after 16 years of staring at the blackboard smelling chalk, I have had enough!

>calvin
Well, yes and no...Mom was strict during the ski trip but she's ok on other times. Quite fun to talk to as a matter of fact. And yes, it's an annual thing...someone always step up to organize this kind of trip. Make sure to join us next year!!
By the way, I number people in my pic cos'....you wouldn't know them even if I mentioned names right??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For me, 2008 started out with a sneeze followed by a cough. Then a few occasional shiver as my fever acts up(I had influenza, remember)? The year have not been that nice to me. Probably 2008's a shy guy...guess I'll have to work hard for him to warm up to me.

In Japan, they celebrate New Year by going to the shrine....you know, offer prayers hoping to get rich, get girls, those sort of typical wishes. Another tradition they have here is eating "Toshikoshi Soba(年越しそば)" which means eating "New Year Noodles"......just like us Chinese always do with "Longlevity Noodles" during Chinese New Year. And, as sick as I was...I didn't want to miss out so.....

Photobucket
Empty boxes of instant noodles...eating instant noodles rather than normal noodles means that happiness/luck will come to me faster than everyone else.

Anyway, I've manage to get better and join a group of exchange students to Disney Sea!! There an old saying.....pictures are worth a thousand words......and i know that you'd rather see a few pictures that read a few thousand of my craps. So here it is...

Photobucket
Lining up to go in Disney Sea. This pic was taken 30 minutes before opening time...yes, people love Disney that much.

Photobucket
The surroundings near the gate...the olden-days-style buildings were very realistic. If not for my futuristic video camera, I'll be completely be back in time.

Photobucket
I later found out that these old buildings are actually hotels. Not too high class looking but cost hell-a-lot money to stay in them.

Photobucket
Wouldn't call it Disney Sea if they don't have a sea...

Photobucket
A volcanic mountain. It's actually from a ride called Journey to the center of the Earth. Your ride comes out from inside of the volcano. Only steam comes out during day time...but by night time, the volcano rumbles and a blasts out a HUGE fireball!! Cool...

Photobucket
The ride is full of cheesy fake plants and fake animals...only the volcano thing is good.

Photobucket
Aww......soooo cute. Makes me want to take a picture with Daisy Duck.

Photobucket
And that's what I did. Almost made me look cute standing beside Daisy right?

Photobucket
Some random picture of the road. It's really a nice place...

Photobucket
Close up picture of the new ride "Tower Of Terror". An elevator inside takes you to the top floor then free falls...

Photobucket
A crashed elevator door. I manage to miraculously survive the first crash to ride a second time.

Photobucket
Place where the half tuna lives....um, I meant mermaids....

Photobucket
Triton...the mermaid king who likes abusing dolphins.

Photobucket
No, they don't have a mosque in Disney Sea. Mickey is not Islam....It's actually Aladdin's place.

Photobucket
Once again, not a mosque. Look closely...mosque don't have carousels in them.

Photobucket
You could almost believe that this was Iraq during the better days...

Photobucket
This was from a ride that does the 360° turn....check out the stairs, they manage to set the water on fire. A cool effect but do not smell pleasant at all.

Photobucket
Taken from the Indiana Jones ride....apparently, plenty of people died to get to this ride. I know Tae Kwon Do...so, no one dared to mess with me...wah ha ha ha...

Photobucket
The group I went with.
The standing ones, from left:
Bird from Cuckoo land. Works part time for Disney.
Cute girl from China. Haven't been to Hong Kong's Disney before...
Guy from Switzerland. Doesn't carry the Swiss army knife.
Guy from Spain. Had straight hair but grew into two big ears...
Girl from Germany. VERY afraid of roller coasters...
Bird from Mexico. Shook hands with Colonel KFC once...

The squating ones, from left:
Guy from Malaysia. Spends a lot of time with cute girl from China.
Girl from India. This one don't smell like curry powder...
Japanese. The prettiest girl in the group....she have the nicest smile...captures my heart each time she smiles for the camera.

Photobucket
Another group photo during lunch break. I started by placing my camera on the table and setting the timer. 11 cameras followed suit afterwards....

Photobucket
Evening view of the bay.....

Photobucket
Picture by night time. It's more beautiful than it looks.

Photobucket
I forgot what this is...

Photobucket
The globe with the train station as background. A very pretty view...

Disney Sea was a fun experience. The most memorable moment I had was when I went to take picture with Ariel, the redhead mermaid. Couldn't post the pic yet cos' it was taken with a different camera and I'm yet to receive it. Having watch "The little mermaid" all the time when I was a kid, it was really a memorable moment getting to see Ariel. Especially when she flapped her tail as a welcome....totally priceless....such fantasy-come-true moment almost made me mad. Will try to post the pic of Ariel in the near future....

So there you go.....the end of my Winter Holidays. It was unfortunate that my holidays was interrupted with influenza....gawd damn flu....
