The Great Deceptions

Looks can be deceiving. While dining at a small jap curry joint tonight, C and I spied a sweet looking young lady at the corner with her partner. Fresh faced, good complexion and bright eyed. Aww, such a lovely lady. Until she opened her mouth, that is. Wahh, her shrill voice really grates. I mean, she speaks like a runaway train, poor C visibly winced each time she yammered on and on and on and on .....like she was powered by duracell. Apparently grated him so much his tooth hurts, ha ha ha. Listening to her tomboy speak, and her senseless debate, well, we figured out - either MGS, or Convent girl. Could be Rafflesian but lack the atas breeding, maybe SGS but they are more genteel. Well, still young mah. I think I was somewhat like that when I was in my early 20s too, NOT. :P

On the way home, we spied an ugly looking egg shaped car, a Toyota Porte at the Thomson rd junction. First time I ever seen this thing. There are some things that just need to be burnt on sight, says C. Looking at the pale yellow Porte, I definitely agree. It just looks like some 10 year old kid designed it, but wait, 10 yr olds have waaaaay better imagination and creativity than this. But while turning up to the PIE, C gasped in horror as he was suddenly overtaken by the ugly Porte. There's something to be said about a big guy driving a sporty car, there's an image to upkeep. And being overtaken but small little shits.....ahh....it's a sight to behold. Men and their pride. But lo and behold! Not 500m later we see the Porte coming up behind us again as we wait our turn at the junction. I had a belly laugh at C's yell of "Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!", the Porte kept following us till nearly the way home. Gotta admit, this young chap drives fast despite the teensy tiny wheels, but it's just so funny seeing my poor curried-beef's despairing expression as the little yellow fart tailed us. The whole thing was so ridiculous it's just hilarious. I swear if C belived he could light a fart at that moment he would, just so he could burn the thing down. hah.

sigh.. a lesson in physics...

1.Little girls have shrill voices..
2.one's brain can only process SOOOO much as my ears cringe at the decibel assault on it.
3.Hence equation is .. size is invertionally proportional to frequency of sound emitted from oral ORAFICE!! hee hee.. or rather the smaller y ou are.. the LOUDER you are.. but this gal wasn't JUST loud.. she was nail scratching blackboard shrill.. i mean milk would curdle INSIDE the cow!! eyebrows would curl on reflex and many a man would cringe.. and not just VISIBALLY i assure you!..

Second equation..
1. small cars have small engines... = smaller Horse power

2. Big black sporty cars have Bige engines and bigger horsepower = more power..

3. ONLY WAY that little yellow bean mobile could keep up is....(if all is equal, including wind resistance, gravity, position of moon).. is that he has a better POWER to weight ratio than me!... as the Honda Integra has the most powerful naturally asperated engine built... this leads meto believe that WEIGHT is the main problem... the result is for me to spend thousands on carbon fibre parts or... LOOSE WEIGHT!! arrrggghhh!!...

Oooo i shall blame the OTHER factor... Traffic and my trusty LEFT seat cruise control device... time to modify car.... oohhh wheres that marie france number...
