Wakaheaven

When I saw this, I knew it was a need............ yesterday nix, cath, j9 and myself went to the Boardwalk to try out Wakaberry. It's the new frozen yoghurt bar in PE. I was in NO way disappointed, with a mix of flavours of frozen yoghurt and toppings or fillers that honestly freaked my tastebuds out! It's a queuing system where you grab your tub and pour in whatever frozen yoghurt's you choose... one, a couple or all, hahaha. You get charged per weight of the tub in the end and it seems that regardless of what you chuck in there, if you bring it to the brim, you're basically in for R40 at most. Mine was R37. Totally worth it.. So you shuffle past these ATM style yoghurt machines and then get to the toppings, which range from crushed romany creams, to whispers, sour worms, jelly tots, wine gums, astros and even fruit pieces.... Pretty amaze!

So we got our froyo's and parked ourselves on the grass outside... So yum, So going to be visited a lot in summer :)

 

 

I choose treat...

                  

And that's how it's done

Jeepers - 4 times world champion in a consecutive row at 26 years old................. Some people are born to shine. So he's beat records in Formula one with this accomplishment and flip, it was so much fun to watch in the end when finished his 60th lap at the Indian GP. Hahaha, breaking rules by taking his car through to parc ferme and doing doughnuts, I mean? :). But sometimes breaking rules are completely in order. A few pics of the emotion at the end of the race. Went cold watching, only understanding bits of what he was feeling at that moment. Webber retired, alternator issues... which sucked, coz I dig Redbull and think considering he's retiring from the sport altogether, he deserves to race each one to the finish what with only 3 left now..... But shit happens, weird for one car and not the other from the team, but anyway............. And Sebastian, yeah he's a hot head. And people have a love hate relationship with him it seems - from what I've read etc, but when you're good, you're good. In the end - there's no comments column on the score card, no doubt this guy's doing mad things.....

"Vettel dominates to win fourth title

The 26-year-old has won six races in a row and if he wins the remaining three races in Abu Dhabi, the United States and Brazil he will equal the record for consecutive wins in the F1 world championship, set by Italian Alberto Ascari in 1952-53."

Passions, hobbies and interests are always sparked on from some place or another and at any given time in one's life... It's no secret I'm into cars... Performance? Meh... Getting into the understanding and excitement it creates for one when someone enhances and modifies it and then sees the output and desired result. But for me it's been look, feel, overall drive and speed... But as far as formula one was considered, I never took a really enthusiastic liking to it. I knew who the top guys are, I had a basic understanding of what was happening if I watched it, was a fan of Ferrari more over than of a particular driver. But ya, never followed it. Then I watched "Rush". We'll let's just say when I watch or hear anything, my opinion is always a result of how it moved me. So everyone watched, said it was good, but they were there to watch a movie. I witnessed a story, a way of life, if I carry on I'm going to sound nuts, and they say it's better to say less then everything you're thinking. Keep some for yourself. Hahaha so ill do that. But I was super excited to watch the next F1 race and actually appreciate the risk and the vibe that those guys are out there experiencing. I mean it's pretty intense. Racing of any kind is..... Which yesterday, upon thinking bout the local regionals that happen here is as well. Any Motorsport has it's risk and therefore intensity... I watched the Japan F1 start to finish - loved it and learnt a lot about the logistics and processes of everything.. As I sit here I'm about to watch the India F1.

Long story short, I never expected to enjoy it the way I apparently am. I don't enjoy watching sport in general (unless I have a bet going hahahaahahah). But Motorsport somehow has my attention And in a cool way. So yeah dig redbull racing... But I'm a Sebastian fan. I think he's just an insane driver, so I'm keen to watch his future in the sport regardless of what team he's in.

For now, it's "STARTO" time.. Haha

s2k update

Car goes in on Monday................................................................. watch this space

Life's little conundrum

If my happiness is reliant on me and what I do to ensure it, then I am the one who needs to set the expectations bar at a level that doesn't allow me to experience unhappiness. But surely if I realize that every situation that if face whereby happiness is the result, and I understand that I am the reason for it...... then don't I realize deep down that no one is making me happy... Actually? "I'm" the one making me happy? That realization itself, unfortunately can't be tied to happiness.... Sensibly so... So then why test people, just to see if they'll disappoint? They will! And that makes one unhappy. So in theory by doing that, I've screwed up the systematics of what brings about 'said' happiness.

So life's quotes and meanings, and in turn- theories- on how to acquire happiness lie in the fact that we make it happen ourselves and don't depend on others for it. So testing people and falling out as a result is actually the WRONG way, as it's quite evident that it doesn't work. If I do as I do... I will be happy and not know any better who is behind the reason for it..... But if I test people by expecting a lot of them, I can be certain of unhappiness. So perhaps the former is the better route, albeit it the easy route.....

True words..

Surprised?

Vinyl Vixen

You know what.... it might be "coming back" and it might be annoying for the people who have had record collections for ages (understanding their value in the world of music), and will now just appear to form part of the trend for the moment........... I get that.. Hey, not ideal, but you know the truth... But for me, I have never owned a brand new record, until now, and that for me - puts Me at the beginning of a "repeat era". If you follow what i'm saying? Haha. This in theory means yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears from now when records aren't cool anymore I'll be someone who has a collection from my life and not just given and bought old ones that belonged to plenty others before me from a record store that resembles a good condition.. and that in itself... is not annoying to me, but rather Effing awesome! So here's to my collection and having a record trail one day of all that I was ever into............. <3

It's about that time...............

Series Season Awwwwww yea!!!

I am sooooooooooooooo happy right now!!

I have, currently, in my possession, Season prem ep of Vampire Diaries, and Season prem ep of Beauty and the Beast. I know... what more do you need. Well other than someone to watch it with, but hey.... I make do with the resources I have.

Date night with some non-human characters tonight, can't friggin wait! Hahahaahah :)

Life as and when...

The answer is blowin' in the wind.....

Scared face

A lot of things scare me... the thought of suffocating... spiders..... failing at anything...... spiders.... haha. But movies, nah.. I'm over that. I can watch a scary movie and I can be pretty on edge whilst watching, but afterwards I go about my day (coz its just a movie). Well, that all changed... when I watched The Conjuring. If you haven't watched it yet - please don't. If you think the Exorcist was bad, it had nothing on this. I closed my eyes in parts, I swore, it waaaaas ridiculous. I got home last night and watched 3 episodes of The goodwin games just so that I could laugh at some chilled, comical tv just to rest my mind. The fact that it was based on a true story kind of shakes up the nerves a little. I don't for a second believe that any of the shit I saw was going to happen to me when I got home, but when I say my mind was fkd, I was considering leaving the lamp light on. Hahaaha. So yeah for the first time I can say, yes I regret it... it was beyond my level of fear facing challenges.... Horror's are for he birds. I'm out. Comedies for the win............ oh and rom coms, coz fairytale love stories of "how it's meant to be" is at the very least tolerated to lose sleep over in my books. :)

In garages round SA.. insane

Jeeeeeeeeeez I love it when SA muso's are getting it right, makes me go cold just listening.... so excited for where it's going... it just makes the people who are keen to view guys like this all the easier if they're coming out of our country. SO much excitement!!

Jordi from Durbs won the "Get out of the garage contest" created by converse....

midweek.... so far so good

S2000 update

Car went in for a service, all good... small service - so nothing major was done, however I was told that my clutch was about to say cheers to the world.. I decided that I'd know when this was true, and so I left it and waited until I knew what a slipping clutch actually felt like. (Not that I knew at first what it was) But after a vtec mission on the freeway towards to the track one day, I realised on my way home that something wasn't right. I had to nurse the accelerator into the revs and change low as well. If i put full throttle, revs were overshooting and the car wasn't even going anywhere. As I said - I had no idea what was wrong.. but took it into Honda and Gavin said that I had officially used the last legs of my clutch. So it was tickets.. It was fine for driving around town, but I may as well been driving an 1100 uno, because I couldn't even take the gap to overtake... everything had to be done quite carefully. Being careful in an S2000 is like ordering a salad at MacDonalds - It just doesn't make sense. Anyway had to wait to book it in with Gavin to replace the clutch. I was lucky enough to already have a clutch in my possession, as Andre had bought one for the s2k when it was his (knowing it didn't have forever left on it) So that's cool. All I was in for was labour to fit it. Anyway, booked it in, came back next day, much lighter than last clutch which was insanely hard. The sensitivity of the clutch control had me laughing at myself................ I stalled 3 times on the way home, hahahaaa, By the next day I was cool. Just wasn't used to feeling it properly compared to last one. All working and amazing... yellow beast back to normal *happy face*

I mentioned before that there are some fixes and add ons etc that I need to have done. That's next..... so a glimpse of that.......................... it arrived in the post 2 weeks ago, super excited for this guy to be on, it finishes off the look I wanted my car to have perfectly. It will be painted New indy yellow to match the rest of the car of course, With the bumper respray and other goings on... it's gonna look pretty neat soon. 

Keen....

Anticipated end result will have it looking like this................................................
