WHAT MAKES ME JUMP FOR JOY?

Friday, September 07, 2012

A long time ago, I was talking to a friend of mine. Somewhere in the conversation he asked me:

"Do you catch my drift?"


And being the slow person I am, I asked:


"What kind of car do you drive?"


I honestly don't even know what I was thinking about when he asked me. I must have been extremely stupid lor~



SO YES, I MISUNDERSTOOD HIM COMPLETELY... 

BUT THIS KIND OF HELPS ME INTRODUCE TODAY'S POST...

OKAY SO MY LOVE FOR CARS HAS BROUGHT ME TO THIS YEAR'S IMPORTFEST (WHICH WAS ONLY ONE DAY...*sad face*). THE CARS THERE WERE RIDICULOUS! (-LY AWESOME!)




I ALWAYS WONDERED HOW THESE PEOPLE GET THEIR MONEY TO BUY THE ALREADY SUPER EXPENSIVE CAR, THE PARTS, THE AUDIO, THE EXTRAS... 

MY FRIENDS AND I BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE ALL GANGSTERS WITH $$$ OR DRUG DEALERS WITH $$$ OR THEY DO STREET RACING AND GET $$$
OR MORE REALISTICALLY, THEY OWN AN AUTO SHOP. 
BUT THE PREVIOUS THREE IDEAS SEEM MORE JUICY, NO?




HERE'S AN EVO WITH WOLVERINE!


SO THE QUALITY OF THE PHOTOS ARE REALLY BAD BECAUSE MY FRIEND EITHER HAS SUPER SHAKY HANDS, OR MY PHONE CAMERA IS REALLY SUCKY. *sorry* 

SOMETHING MORE EMBARRASSING THAN MY MISUNDERSTANDING OF "DO YOU CATCH MY DRIFT" HAPPENED THAT DAY... *blush*




I GOT IN TROUBLE TWICE :(
#1 GOING INSIDE A CAR: THERE WAS THIS REALLY NICE CAR. AND WHILE I WAS PEERING INSIDE THE OPEN DOORS, MY FRIENDS SAID TO GO IN IT. AND SOOO, ME BEING SUPER-EASILY-SWAYED-BY-PEER-PRESSURE, I WENT INSIDE. THE GUY THEN CAME TO ME AND SAID:

"I don't think [name] would like it if you sat there."


SO I LEFT AND WENT TO ANOTHER CAR - WHICH IS WERE I MADE MISTAKE

#2 TOUCHING A CAR: AND IT WASN'T EVEN LIKE THE SHINY PART OF THE CAR WHERE FINGERPRINTS WOULD BE SUPER VISIBLE! OKAY BUT IT IS MY FAULT CAUSE THERE WAS A STICKER SAYING NO TOUCHING. 

AND FROM THOSE POINTS ON I THOUGHT MY WHOLE DAY WOULD BE RUINED :(




...UNTIL I SAW THE GTRs AND THE 350Zs AND 370Zs.

THERE WAS ALSO AN EVO WITH DRAGON BALL Z BUT IT WAS AWKWARD TO POSE WITH IT UNLESS YOU'RE ONE OF THE SEXY MODELS SINCE THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND IT.


SPEAKING OF SEXY IMPORT MODELS, WE SAW DANNIE RIEL~~ I COULDN'T GET A PICTURE OF HER, LET ALONE WITH HER. I COULD BARELY SEE HER, UNTIL SHE STOOD UP ON THE TABLE TO GIVE AWAY A POLAROID OF HERSELF AND A FEW LOLLYPOPS...





STEPH LY WAS THERE TOO! WE SAW HER OUTSIDE AS WE WERE WALKING IN. SHE WAS SMOKING AND TALKING TO A GUY (THIS SEEMS REALLY IRRELEVANT).  
THERE WERE SOOO MANY SEXY MODELS THAR~ I GUESS THIS IS ANOTHER REASON TO GO TO IMPORTFEST.




WOULDN'T IT BE SCARY IF YOU WERE DRIVING AND LOOKED TO THE CAR BESIDE YOURS AND THEN SAW THIS CHUCKIE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT?




I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE NISSAN'S 350Z & 370Z MORE AND MORE...
AND THERE'S ME HOLDING MY BAG FILLED WITH FREE GOODIES!






TOYOTA CELICA!




AND THIS IS THE END OF MY CAR PICTURE SPAM. 

ARE YOU HUNGRY? THEN HERE IS A PICTURE OF A CAKE I MADE PRIOR TO DINNER BUT FRESHLY DECORATED IT IN HALF AN HOUR!




THE CAKE, FROM BOTTOM TO TOP: JAPANESE CHIFFON CAKE / CARMELIZED BANANA / BANANA MOUSSE / MANGO / MANGO MOUSSE / CARMELIZED BANANA AND PEAR

I REALLY LIKE CARAMELIZED BANANA.

YAY! SUCH A GOOD QUALITY PHOTO COMPARED TO THE SHITTY PHONE ONES *still full of regret for not bringing camera along* OKAY LA I NEED TO STOP REGRETTING SO I WILL DIRECT MYSELF TOWARDS THE TEN OR MORE FREE MAGAZINES AND THE SCION TEESHIRT INSTEAD ^^


DO THE MAGAZINES HAVE SEXY LADIES IN THEM? 


Yes, they do. On the covers and inside. And lots of cars. The magazines were Performance Auto and Sound.



HERE IS A SPONGE CAKE I MADE THE OTHER DAY (I ACTUALLY MADE TWO, BUT THEY LOOK THE SAME, SO THERE'S A PICTURE OF ONLY ONE)


THANKS FOR READING!

WITH LOVE...

P/S

What is your dream car? Is there a specific color you'd like it in?


I really like the Nissan GT-R Nurburgring (WHICH BY THE WAY, CURRENTLY HAS AN UNOFFICIAL LAP TIME OF 7:21), but of course it's extremely costly... so a slightly more realistic dream car would have to be the 2006 Nissan 350Z coupe in blue, or the 2011 one in black or white. :)


OH YES, AND THE SOUND OF BEAUTIFUL CARS MAKES ME JUMP FOR JOY.
