Alright so i said i wouldn't do this but because i just needed a medium to vent and because cars are related to trains and buses and what not ( trying to justify it), i jus wanted to talk about London 7/7/05. Go buy 4D hurry....ok bad tactless joke.

9/11 never really hit me hard at all. It was shocking because it was the first BIG terrorist hit in my lifetime...or at least since my memory started serving me, but it never hit the spot. Madrid never really hit me cos it was so far away and I've never really had a connection to the place. The tsunami hit just about everyone and myself included because it was so close to home. I was actually on a yacht in open waters at the very exact same time...thank god for sheltered singaporean waters. If i had a couple more weeks of break i wouldve flown there to help out without a doubt. I know people who were hit hard and i know people who narrowly missed being there. Even the later earthquake affected my family directly. My building in singapore apparantly shook pretty violently and got my mom all panicky and wanting to run down the stairs while my dad and younger sis were jus resigned to they're fate seeing as how they were on the 16th floor.

Somehow, London hits the spot even though its probably the least catastrophic. I think it's because i realised that I actually came really close to losing my elder sis. She lives opposite a tube station and very well could have been on one of those trains for one reason or the other. She's safe by the way....good thing she was back in singapore for holidays. See holidays are a double edged sword....it can take lives (Tsunami) or it can save lives (London). I know I know...skewed sense of reasoning. But this bombing has got me really riled up....its these kinda events that make me wanna just grab a gun and join the war.

So to all you terrorists or wannabe terrorists out there.... oh i wish i wish i wish onto you a horrible life of suffering. May your families perish in agony and your livelihood destroyed. You try and kill my sister and you incur my wrath....should i be so priviledged to actually become a pilot, i hope i get a chance to come bomb your asses. Tell your cronies to hide in them paki mountains and hope i don come looking for them. Oh and tell bin laden i said hi.

So i think i finally managed to convince all the people i need to convince to get my interior light switch done. Generally it is going to look like this...almost all red. However, the gauges are gonna be sort of a white and red and look more like an audi interior. Hopefully all goes well

i was actually contemplating white for a while but i wasn't sure how it would turn out to be honest. So i just decided to go with the conventional all red switches. It is going to be a rush to get these all taken outta my car and out the door but i guess ill jus have to hope everythin goes well.

another modification i am adding to the car are these in pro R32 projector lights. These come retrofitted with HIDs off an Audi A6. It came at a pretty good price with me trading my MK4 looks so i decided to go ahead with the trade even though personally i prefer MK4 looks better. But with HIDs must come projectors.....an explanation is found below.

As you can see, the wiring looks a little shoddy so i definitely am going to clean it up and make sure i have everything the way i want it. Plus it gives me a chance to properly wire the lights because i never really took the time to before...also, i am now going to make sure i spend some time adjusting the lights properly so that i don't jus shine aimlessly and blind other drivers. As a sidenote, to those thinking of getting HID kits. Retrofitting is by law illegal....unless there is a variant of the model of your car that comes out of the factory with HIDs preinstalled. Surprisingly, even though these bulbs run waaaay hotter than normal bulbs, they actually draw less current from the battery and hence are more efficient. That is due to the ballast that act as amplifiers...almost like capacitors if you will. And most importantly, without projectors, your HIDs are jus really really bright normal lights. Projectors help focus the light and provide light to where it is really needed. Can't wait to get these puppies installed when i get back here from singapore!
