well .... guess what ...
 
I have now made 4 lots of chicken curry ... each better than the previous .. BUT !! .. all still suck !
 
Its my mission this weekend to get the proper ingredients this time and get it right.
 
Also I have made it a point to clean our room and reorganise my clothes ... feeling far to unorganised at the moment..
 
Also to add ... we have a need to clean the bathrooms which havent been done for a few weeks ...
 
and then i will pay attention to my car ..
 
Last nite we made spicy sweet n sour chicken .. ill post pics of that up in the "Food that dad and I cooked" album.
 
Other than that .. work is same same ... except that I recieved a resignation this week.  Didnt suprise me .. but still need to find a replacement none the less...
 
Also .. last nite I installed the webcam for dad .. so he is now officially and completely online.
 
Going to get a hair cut shortly and then off to the gym ..

Super long time !

Ok ... well its been far too long since un update so here goes.

After melbourne .....

We went to the drags at Eastern Creek (The photos are in the album .. chek em out)
Id have to say it was the most fun and adrenalin fill evening ...

... Ok .. memory is a little vague from there ...

Work has been flat out and just trying to get to end of the year and meet my team targets ... we are on par ... but need to smash my target out of the water ...

Ummmmm what else ... well there was the TOCAU cruise to kiama... again the pics are on the photo album on the right ..

It was a fantastic day with a great turn out of about 17 cars .. the pics speak for themselves ...

and last monday I went out and bought some new lowered springs for my car in anticipation of installing them on tuesday ..

Well tuesday rolled around and we started the DYI install .... This is where we came across some problems ....well only 1 problem ... there was 1 bolt we could not get off ... so we had to undo all that we did and put it back to the stock springs so I could drive again and then book it in to get it done by the pros ... unfortuantely I would have to pay $200   :(

But on tuesday nite I spoke to Mario (a mate whom I met on TOCAU forums) and he said to bring it round to his house on sat as he has the tools to do it ...

so I cancelled my appointment with the tyre shop who was going to install it and drove to marios !..

and guess what .. again we had a problem with 1 bolt ! .. "Oh No" I thought ... again ! ..

so we drove out to the hardware store .. got a new socket ... and wahlah ! .. it was easy as pie ... Something I realise is that no matter what you are doing .. if you have the right and correct tools ... its makes the job a million times easier !!

So in the end ... the springs are on and the car is 35mm lower and alot more comfortable around corners and roundabouts ....

I am very happy with the results and again the pics are up ...
you will notice in a comparision shot ... before I could put 4 spaced out fingers between the car and the tyre ... now I can only put 3 fingers with no space ! YAY !!!!

so that was yesterday ....

ohh .. also ..I managed to hook up my psp to my car stereo ... now today im just working on a mount for the psp in the car .. and im all done modding for a while !

ok ... thats it

Jase .. out !

 

 

***EDIT ***

 

I just finished mounting my psp in the car .. here are the pics ..

GO TOCAU !!!

Last nite we had our monthly Toyota meet...  What a fantastic meet ... check out the pics ..
 
Every month it gets bigger and bigger ...
 
Had 26 of us .. plus Sydney Rolla club dropped in to say hi aswell ...
 
Its a great way to meet up with people who have the same interests as myself ... meeting new ppl and gaining some great new mates ! ..
 
Id have to say that my interest in photography is growing. After playing around with some settings on my new canon camera ... the photos are turning out fantastic ...
 
Im going to take every opportunity to take more photos ... and carrying my camera everywhere I go ! .. never know when an opportunity reveals itself.
 
If anyone knows of any good photography tips .. or good website with tips ... please tell me about it !
 
Ok .. thats all ...

Its that time again !!

Ok .... its that time again ...
 
The 1 time and day in the year where nothing matters except where you will be at 8 pm..
 
What happens at 8pm ?? I hear you ask !
 
Well ... its the time when 1 bloke kicks a ball ... and another catches it ....
 
then 13 other blokes run at the bloke with the ball .... with the mission to hurt each other.
 
The result is bone crunching, flesh slapping and testicle tickling fun ...
 
thats RIGHT !!! ... its ORIGIN TIME !!!!
 
Its the 1 game in any given sport, at any given time .. that I look forward to the most.
 
It has everything one could want .....
 
It has Love and hate , jealousy, humour, excitement, sadness, happiness, and most of all a happy ending ... especially if NSW wins ...
 
The air smell different today !!! ... hang on .. maybe thats just my feet .... ehh .. either way ... tonite should be a fantastic nite ...
 
Plenty of beers, pizza and yelling at the TV !! ... what else could one ask for ...
 
Everything else in life dosent seem to matter .... esp during the game and the lead up to it ..
 
I served no purpose to be at work today. !! ... Productivity is at an all time low .. hence the need and ability to update this blog ...
 
I would also like to mention that next monday is our 2nd wedding annerversary ...
 
I cant comprehend how quick the last 2 years has gone...  And I cant believe how stable I have been ...
 
At the age of 25 its not often you can say you have done something of significance for an extended period of time...
 
I am proud and priviledge to have 2 years of marriage fly by ... and many more years to come ...
 
also .. I am proud of myself for stay at my job for this long ... .. Its 2  1/2 years at GE now .. and ive managed to climb the corporate ladder fairly quickly ... alot of it being in the rright place at the right time .. but also proving it to the bosses that I am capable of anything they are ... in fact .. they should be watching me ... I got my eyes on my next job !! ...
 
Its interesting how ppl percieve me at work.
 
No one really knows my true age ... except for a select few .. and when they try to guess 90% of the time they think I am 29 or 30 !! ...
 
I have come to conclusion that they dont judge my age by how I look ... but what I have done ... and it throws them off when I tell them im married for 2 years ... They think I must be late 20's ...
 
any way .. just thought I'd share that ..
 
ok .. starting to get RSI now ...

Howdy ! .. .First post for the year .. and its only taken me 20 days !
 
Well.. Where to start ...
 
Ok .. New years in Sydney was ok .. pretty normal ..
 
Start of 2006 ..
 
Quiet at work .. no major issues .. looking forward to the trip to NZ
 
Organised for my new Cold air intake and exhaust for my car ... CAI on Sat 21st Jan .. and Exhaust on the Friday 27th Jan
 
Ok .. I now move on to the trip to NZ
 
Pretty quiet the first few days .. just kickin back n relaxing...
 
As it get closer to Kevins wedding we have a few more things we need to do ... Went to pick up 2 porsches.. I pressed every button imaginable ...
 
Soooo much fun ! ..
 
The wedding - The location was perfect .. they couldnt have picked a better place ..
 
Mae was looking stunning and Kev was sharp as a tack ..
 
Some drizzle in the morning and then cleared up ..
 
Ill post some pics when I get home...  .. NEXT DAY ..
 
Kevin took me bowling .. he even has his own bowling ball .. so I was in for an ass kickin .. But then suddenly .. before i realised it .. I had won the first game ! .. WOOOOOO
 
Next day we went to Waiheki Island ..
 
And bit of wine and sun on the beach ... in which I got rather burnt ... those who have seen me in the last 24-48 hours will understand ...
 
My face is falling off ... eeewww .. only to reveal fresh new skin !!!
 
after the Island we went to "Johnny's" house .. Johnny organised the porsches and he also owns a ferrari ...
 
Ohhh .. and by the way ... he offered me a drive .. an offer which I forced myself to accept ..
 
Oh my goodness ... this ferrari moves ... the acceleration .. the noise .. .the feel .. the smell ( ofh wait .. that was me) ..
 
the gear box clicked like an F1 car ... and screamed along everytime my foot touched the acclerator ..
 
Will post up some pics of this too ... might even put up a small video !!
 
Went to Terence's house after the BBQ at johnnys .. and hung out there for a while ..
 
Then went back to Yee Chai's place to shower n pack ... flight @ 5:30 am .. and have to be at the airport by 3:30 ..
 
So didnt sleep at all .. play 1 last game of pool with Ian .. (Which I almost schooled him )
 
Then kev, mae, yee chai and uncle jeffery too poh poh and myself to the airport ...
 
finally got on to the plane .. blah blah blah ...
 
Arrived in sydney @ 7:20 am ... little kid on the flight prohibited me from sleeping....
 
so about 25 hours no sleep at this point in time ..
 
took a train and taxi home ...
 
Found the fridge had switched off ... House smelt a bit funky ! ..
 
switched it back on hopeing it will cool down ..
 
Showered, dressed and drag my sunburnt ass into work ..
 
Met Juan Corsillo .. (some big wig) from the the states ..
 
Went home @ 5 pm, took poh poh shopping .. come home and cooked dinner .. ate dinner  and crashed to sleep ..
 
Yesterday .. much the same .. draged myself to work ... face starting to peel now .. arm pits are still burning ..
 
came home .. wallked the dog .. cooked . ate .. crashed ..
 
today ... much the same ... dragged my ass to work .. face really falling off now ...
 
arm pits are better ..
 
Plan for tonite ... - Walk the dog ... cook ... eat ... and crash ... sounds like a plan !!!!

Some pics

Karma !

Ok ... time to get deep and meaningful ..
 
Last nite I left my phone on the train ...
 
I didnt realise this until I got a phone call. I was actually already asleep so I had no idea my phone was even missing. 
 
So the house phone rang ... and on the other end was a guy ... funny enough .. his name is Jason .
 
He said " Mate .. I have your phone"
 
And I thought to myself ... he could have so easily not bothered to even contact me ... or just left it at the station etc....
 
Luckly he lives in Stanhope gardens ... so was close by.
 
There was a box of chocolates in the fridge that we hadent opened so I decided to give it to him as a very small token of appreciation.
 
So when I got there I had a bit of a chat with him ...
 
He was not what I expected to see when I got there ... I saw a guy in his late 20's .. his wife and 2 kids and his mother in-law ...
 
almost looked like the type of perfect family you see on TV or in the movies ..
 
Anyway ... He explained that his mother in-law was coming down to sydney from gosford and found my phone up there ...
 
So very fortunate that my phone found its way in to the hands of a family that has the right set of values ...
 
And this leads me to KARMA ...
 
For some reason I feel that doing the small things like ... letting someone in when changing lanes .. or little things like that pay off at some other unexpected time.
 
If we all were more flexible, understanding, patient, kind and courteous, then this society would be more like the family I met last nite ...
 
I hope they enjoy the choclates !
 
I have now made it a personal agenda of mine to change my attitudes towards others ... esp when Im driving ... etc ...
 
Its the little things we do that can change the world ...
 
Jase .. out !

Even Hotter !!!

Just got of the phone to Er-Che ..
 
She says all I complain about on this blog is how hot it is ..
 
Well guess what ! ... its hot again today !!!
 
the forecast was for 38 in the city and 40 in the west ... although dosent really feel like it outside as it is overcast .
 
And to confirm to all the ppl who dont know .. I got a promotion at work ...
 
I am now the Inside Sales Leader ! ... Woooo ...
 
My role dosent change terribly much ... just more responsibility ... and more exposure to the rest of the big wigs .... and i get to travel ... Early Feb I am going to Coolum ... in QLD for 4 days for a sales conference ..
 
and in March I will be travelling down to Melbourne ... although the date for that is yet to be confirmed.
 
Ok .. thats all for now ...
 
I promise when I get home I will get the pics of the camera and put this up here! ..
 
Jase .. out !
