I saw the review of an excellent car in my opinion on UK BBC Top Gear. Its the Lexus LFA supercar. I know Lexus had before this made all those luxurious car, in example, the famous RX350 in Malaysia. But to come up with a supercar, and this is not your ordinary supercar.
What made it even more appealing to me, is its ultimate engineering. Carbon fibre takes up 65% of the body's weight. That means, its light! It has 552hp at 8700rpm, carbon ceramic disc brakes and so on. The sound of the engine, if you're sitting inside racing, I think you'll feel like you're racing in a F1 car. Just listen to it! And this car project took Lexus 9 or 10 years to complete to this final beauty.
Now, the one thing the review mentioned is, the rev meter is made of digital display. Why?? Because the analogue (that means the old, needle thing) rpm gauge can't match up with the speed of the rpm. How cool is that? Even the wing mirror is made so that the aerodynamics is optimized!!!
A car, made out for sheer engineering excitement, the LFA.
The only bad point? Its limited production of 500 cars, and with selective customers by Lexus, as well as a price tag of 340 000 GBP (pounds), which is like...RM1.87 million, without tax. T.T
Life these few weeks is like entering a battle zone. A mega battle that occurs every half a year. Non stop sharpening of my weapon, the memory and skills in fighting with the Subjects of Evil. Holding my pen and upholding my never ceasing fighting spirit to overcome this battle, to kill the Subjects, to win this war.
Each time I won one Chapter, the subordinate of the Subject, a new chapter reels in, with their new technology, always one step ahead. To win, we have to learn new techniques on Youtube, WebCT, notes and so on.
Everyday, there will be a new casualty on Facebook, someone would proclaim the horrible effect of the enemy on us, I myself have been injured 2-3 times in total. This is bad. The 4 final battles with the main boss is coming on the 15th, 19th, 21st and 23rd. It is near, I can smell the enemy as though he is just right in my nose.
They smell bad, never taste good. None have gave us a good time so far. Tomorrow, there will be some of my colleagues entering the frontline to take the enemy head on. All the best my friends.
This is gruelling...exams...the War of Students...but we will win, once again.

So how did you celebrate your countdown to the new year? Every year it seems we have to go to some overly crowded places, see some fireworks, or at least someone's home to gather for some dinner and countdown together.
This year, its a totally different story. Owing to the fact most of us were in UK, we're all in different parts of the world, we're unable to do so.
HOWEVER...
A solution came at last!!! And it is simple, we'll still do countdown together, only this time, there's no dinner, no overly crowded places. We did it in our own house, in our own room. We were connected via Skype! And so this year, we counted down with the comfort of our own homes, and for those more fortunate ones, some fireworks outside their houses.
And so, this is my countdown with my dearest friends. One UK fella is missing however, due to the fact that he does not install Skype on his computer for some unknown reason.
