OMG! Now I know why they say American cars are pale in feul efficiency when compared to Honda or Toyota! Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic already have like 31/33 MPG of mileage, and my Taurus is like 21-24. Damn! What's more, their newest hybrid car (Honda Civic Gas/Hybrid) goes like 61/66 MPG or Toyota Prius at 60/51 MPG , while the American's Ford Escape Hybrid goes at 36/31 MPG. American's cars are a really a far cry from Japanese cars manz, in terms of fuel efficiency, even when we get into the Hybrid age now... Really dunno what the American car company's are thinking... Or maybe it's just that Japanese are innately more innovative in the respect...

As quoted from my Captain in NS, "the big fat rich americans". hehe~ hmm, come to think of it, I haven't really done what he asked me to do 2 yrs ago when I ORD. He asked me to help him contact a naval officer he met when training in US, and I think I've lost that slip of paper. The only clue I remember is the quote above. Wonder if it's possible to use that to inquire about this naval officer...

PS: The recruitment officer cast a ridiculous look when I tried inquiring 2 yrs ago when I came here. What's his problem manz? It's a fact what... and not necessarily negative.

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
