A Great Monday

The day after all Form 5 and 6 prefects retire, it's teim for my white school uniform and green pants to retire too... Yes, I AM OFFICIALLY A PREFECT NOW!!! :D So happy when Kumana told us juniors passed our trial period test on Monday morning. Can't wait to wear my prefect uniform on next week. Got to uphold and introduce some new rulings for the school prefects to use... There was a paired oral test for English today, where Suresh and Mun Fai did a very good (or should I put it as fantastic?) comedy, so good that everyone in class was demanding for an encore. Good job, guys! On another note, I wish Su Poh all her best in her operation. Do heal and come back to school early! We miss your mad, sudden burst of laughters that always has everyone in class looking at you. :P

花海 - 周杰倫

靜止了 所有的花開
遙遠了 清晰了愛
天鬱悶 愛卻很喜歡
那時候 我不懂這叫愛
你喜歡 站在那窗台
你好久 都沒再來
彩色的世界染上空白
是你流的淚暈開

不要你離開 距離隔不開
思念變成海 在窗外進不來
原諒說太快 愛成了阻礙
手中的風箏放太快 回不來
不要你離開 回憶劃不開
欠你的寵愛 我在等待重來
天空仍燦爛 它愛著大海
情歌被打敗 愛已不存在...

你喜歡 站在那窗台
你好久 都沒再來
彩色的世界染上空白
是你流的淚暈開

不要你離開 距離隔不開
思念變成海 在窗外進不來
原諒說太快 愛成了阻礙
手中的風箏放太快 回不來
不要你離開 回憶劃不開
欠你的寵愛 我在等待重來
天空仍燦爛 它愛著大海
情歌被打敗 愛已不存在.....

Toyota AE86

This is one post I had always wanted to do for a long time. My focus is on the JDM-spec model Toyota Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno AE86. The Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno, or better known as the AE86, is a highly-capable front engined/rear-wheel-drive (FR) sports coupe produced from 1983 to 1987. The AE86 came either in a 2-door coupe or 3-door liftback body style. Both Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno are generally easy to differentiate, with their fixed rectangular and pop-up headlight design respectively. Three different trim level were offered, namely the SR, GTV and GT-Apex variants. in 1986, minor facelift were done to the car, which resulted in different taillights design. It runs on the high-revving 1.6-litre 16V 4A-GE TVIS (short for 'Toyota Variable Intake System') engine, developed by Toyota with Yamaha which was also used in the first generation AW11 Toyota MR-2. Transmission was originally a 5-speed manual gearbox, but a 4-speed automatic gearbox was later offered. Limited slip differential (LSD) was an option, with exception to the GT-Apex model which came factory-fitted. In popular culture, the AE86 was featured in the "Initial D", a Japanese manga and anime about mountain pass drift racing. In this story the AE86 (a liftback 1983 Sprinter Trueno model) is portrayed as an extremely good car with a racing-spec 'Blacktop' 20V 4A-GE engine from a Toyota AE111 tuned for maximum mountain pass drift attack, racing and winning against more powerful cars in the form of the legendary Nissan Skyline GT-Rs and Mazda RX-7s. As in the world of motorsport, the Toyota AE86 has shown to the world that it is a force to be reckon with in drift racing, as proven by "Drift King" Keiichi Tsuchiya and Malaysia's very own Tengku Djan Ley. Its engine's lack of top speed is compensated with a free-revving nature and ultra nimble handling. My first proper encounter with the AE86 was after watching the 2004 live-action "Initial D" movie starring Jay Chou. It was an early morning schooling day on my awy to school when my transport went past one liftback Sprinter Trueno. Upon reaching school, I quickly went to my class, dump my bag at my seat and ran back out to where I spotted it for a better look. It had almost the same exterior looks as the "Initial D" version, save for the carbon fibre hood (it's vented instead of the OEM-style type) and the 'Fujiwara tofu shop' Japanese character sticker decal (replaced by huge "INITIAL D" logos on both doors). Today, the Toyota AE86 is a highly-sought after car eventhough it now ages well more than 20 years and seems to avoid the depreciation bug year after year.
