Audi Car Ad - "Break the cycle"

This TV ad grabbed my attention last week. I had a really good laugh, and the first half of the commercial reminded me a lot of my family's values.



Maybe I should get one. After all, she is already driving an A4.

Auto Theft in Arizona

I had been hit once (thankfully not the whole vehicle), and today an emergency alert came out from the company. Some buggers actually succeeded in stealing the cars/trucks from the parking lot in spite of increased security patrols.

Crime Statistics from the NICB. 4 states, all in the West, topped the list for 2006.

Weekend Roundup

My car was broken into early Saturday morning RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, just before I was about to leave for my road trip to California. The mp3 CD player was removed from the center console, together with the little drawer that housed my spare change. Thankfully my glove compartment had nothing valuable to steal. But what pained me the most was the loss of a CD (a birthday gift) from her.

That bugger better die a horrible death. Arsehole.

Coincidentally, I received this from another (girl, :P) on Friday night.

Gained one, lost one in a matter of hours.

The traffic in LA was just crazy with jams everywhere. Apparently it is worse on weekdays. But seeing the beach is enough to make you forget the traffic woes.

Caltech has the feel of a small, cozy condominium complex. It is just so...pretty.




Reminded me of the old Katong Convent primary, where I had my Speech and Drama lessons when I was very young.


Self-explanatory


Even the fences are geeky.



And that gun!

A harrowing experience

On my way home today, I blew one of my rear wheel tires on the highway while going at 90 mph. The cause was a stupid nail on the road.

Am still in a mild state of shock - to see everything flash you by. For a while I thought I would be going in a flash too.

BANG! and the car started to jerk and swerve violently. I was lucky that the cars behind weren't tailgating.
