Where should I begin??? Hmmm I am too buggered to think so I'll just post in the order that it comes out of my head...
Urm another fuel consumption update!!! YAY!!!
Petrol: Shell Super
Value of gas pumped (G): RM 62.49
Volume of gas in litres (G / 1.92 = L): 32.543 litres
Starting value on the odometer (A): 3114.1 km
Ending value on the odometer (B): 3563.2 km
Total distance traveled (B - A = C): 449.1 km
KM / L (C / L): 13.8 km/l
Ratio of city driving to highway cruising: 3:1
Fuel consumption was better all round as I didn't get cheeky on the roads... If I can continue exercising restraint with the 7 speed manual mode, fuel consumption should be fine...
Ok fuel consumption update aside... Heck its trivial but who cares... Its motoring related... Ok here goes... You know about all those irritating satisfaction surveys over the phone??? Well for the first time I actually made time for the person at the other end of the phone and answered 15 (or so) random questions about the new car (and circumstances leading to the collection of the car) and a few days later... I got something in the mail... What did I get??? Well I got a LEATHER NAME CARD HOLDER!!! NOT JUST ANY NAME CARD HOLDER MIND YOU??? A SUPER UNCLE BLACK LEATHER NAME CARD HOLDER!!! Well not to be an ass or anything, I sincerely appreciate the gesture but I already have a name card holder... It's called a pocket but heck you guys are Japanese so I doubt you would understand... Anyway どうもありがとう。(thank you) guys!!!
The thank you note...

In highly unrelated news, I've been thinking about the wedding alot... And I mean ALOT... The finances are one thing (because the quotes are slowly trickling in and its gonna be a bitch... A REAL BITCH to pay for) but that isn't the main thing on my mind... The main thing is how things will change after I get married... I mean for Jeanie and I... I mean to most people it would mean that we become Mr and Mrs Yoroi360... What about the other stuff??? I mean like the size of my family practically doubles in size (heck I don't even know 20% of my relatives and here I am procuring more), her 4 year old brother becomes my brother in law (which effectively makes him the uncle of my future kids), people will start classifying me as an uncle (and Jeanie as an aunty... A hot aunty is still an aunty ok), I'll have to start giving out angpaus to a bunch of money grabbing midgets (to the guy that said "Giving is better than receiving", you can go suck cock and die ok???) and I'll start having her family over at the house (thats really gonna cramp my style man... I mean really)...
Well I don't mean to sound like a pussified excuse of a man or anything, but I sincerely think that all that is worth it because she's better than all that... OK THE EMO STUFF IS OVER... FOR ALL YOU IDIOTS LAUGHING THERE... STOP IN 2 SECS OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASS SO HARD THAT YOU'LL ONLY WAKE UP AFTER THE WEDDING IN 2008... See its not so funny anymore isn't it...
Ok... next... I had a talk with my father today and the topic at hand was kinda weird... Apparently he is a little upset with the fact that I am kinda upset with him... And apparently he has been trying to call me for weeks but each time I picked up his call I didn't say anything... Its either I've been in the twilight zone or something because I am pretty sure none of that happened... Oh well I'm sure its not a problem that some whiskey cannot fix... He'll be in town on the 5th and 6th anyway, so I'll assess the damage then...
Hmm since we are on the topics of fathers, might as well talk about mothers as well... Jeanie's mom just came out of an operation on the 17th and for the life of me, I can't seem to pick up the phone to call her and ask her how she is doing??? I don't know why... I just can't... Is something wrong with me??? Hell I hope not...
OOOOO I know what I wanna get off my chest... Region coding is a BITCH!!! Why my sudden disdain for region coding you might ask??? Well last Friday I picked up the "Two Disc Special Edition" of 300 and I went home to watch it on the 360 (which can upscale dvds via a vga connection) and WTF do I see when I pop in the disc???
The dvd that was supposed to bring me joy instead of popping an artery...
REGION NOT SUPPORTED!!!
Region Coding Map from Wikipedia...
I forgot that the Japanese 360 plays region 2 dvds while the dvds in Asia (outside Japan) are region 3!!! If you need more info on region coding for dvds you can find it here...
ARGH!!! Geram!!! Hmmm just thinking about the dvd again is getting me kinda pissed off... I don't feel like blogging anymore... Heck I am going to sleep...
