Caught my dad with my GF a couple of weeks ago

phas3r — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 04:32:45 +0800

I've had my GF for 2 years now (practically lives with me) - small, white, petite thing, cooks for me, lovely, always been good to me.

I go away on holiday for a week, come back and something just doesn't seem right. I asked my dad if anything had happened with my GF and he just acted clueless.

So fast forward to 3 weeks later... I'm coming home from when bam! Clear as day, right in my kitchen I catch my father red handed with his meat in my GF.

I was pissed off, told him to get his meat out of GF and go away, needless to say my GF got turned off. I just couldn't get over it and that night threw my GF out.

Now it's been 2 weeks since the incident. About 10 minutes ago my dad had the cheek to ask my how my GF has been, when he's the damn reason we ain't together no more!

Should I get off the computer and start swinging at him?

OR

Pack my stuff and be on my way?

Here's pics of my GF for you guys as I know you'll ask :

Ferrari couple hit, robbed
By SARBAN SINGH

SEREMBAN: A Singaporean couple on their way to a hill resort for a holiday had a harrowing experience – not only were they involved in an accident but they were robbed as well.

The couple were travelling in a Ferrari on Friday when it collided with another vehicle at the 274th kilometre of the North-South Expressway, slightly damaging its front.

Within seconds of the accident, two men wearing baseball caps arrived in a Mercedes Benz and began shouting at the couple.

A witness said one of them was holding a piece of wood and hit the Ferrari with it before assaulting the driver who was already injured in the accident.
Abandoned: The Ferrari about to be towed away after it was involved in an accident at the 274th kilometre of the North-South Expressway near Nilai.

He said they fled after taking several items from the Ferrari.

The woman was not harmed as she ran off on seeing the two men approaching their car.

“Within a short while, a few more Ferraris arrived and took the couple away,” he said.

State police chief SAC I Datuk Osman Salleh confirmed the incident but added details were still sketchy.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the two men had impersonated Customs enforcement officers, he said.

It is learnt the couple had yet to lodge a police report as of yesterday evening.

Warga Singapura berkonvoi Ferrari disamun

NILAI 6 Sept. - Sepasang kekasih dari Singapura yang sedang berkonvoi menaiki kereta Ferrari dipercayai menjadi mangsa geng 'langgar dan samun' dalam kejadian di Kilometer 274 arah utara Lebuh Raya Utara Selatan dekat sini petang semalam.Dalam kejadian pukul 1.30 petang itu, pasangan berusia 20-an dan 30-an tersebut bersama-sama kumpulan yang menaiki kereta Ferrari lain dalam perjalanan dari Singapura untuk bercuti di Genting Highlands.

Tiba di tempat kejadian, kereta mangsa terlanggar sebuah kereta Hyundai di hadapannya menyebabkan kedua-dua kenderaan itu berhenti.

Pada masa yang sama, sebuah kereta Mercedes datang dari arah belakang dan berhenti di tempat kemalangan itu dan tiba-tiba seorang lelaki berusia 30-an keluar lalu terus memarahi pemandu Ferrari berkenaan.

Difahamkan, lelaki berkenaan yang bertopi keledar telah mengambil sebatang kayu dan memecahkan cermin hadapan kereta Ferrari itu.

Bertindak seolah-olah pegawai pasukan keselamatan, suspek kemudian menyuruh orang ramai menangkap mangsa iaitu lelaki yang memandu kereta Ferrari tersebut.

Seorang saksi yang enggan dikenali memberitahu, ketika itu, seorang lelaki lain menggeledah bahagian dalam kereta mangsa.

"Penyamun itu menyalahkan pemandu Ferrari atas kemalangan yang berlaku dan perbuatannya meminta supaya mangsa ditangkap menyebabkan orang ramai menganggap dia pegawai pasukan keselamatan.

"Apabila seorang lagi penyamun meluru dan memukul lelaki Singapura itu dan kemudian menggeledah kereta Ferrari berkenaan, teman wanita mangsa bertindak melarikan diri," katanya.

Selepas menggeledah dan mengambil barangan dari kenderaan mangsa, penyamun terbabit kemudian menyedari ketibaan konvoi kereta Ferrari yang merupakan rakan-rakan mangsa, menyebabkan mereka melarikan diri menaiki kereta Mercedes tersebut.

Sepanjang kejadian itu, saksi berkenaan memberitahu, orang ramai tidak mengetahui ke mana pemandu kereta Hyundai berkenaan sejurus kemalangan berlaku.

Dalam kejadian itu, mangsa lelaki berkenaan cedera ringan akibat dipukul oleh penyamun tersebut manakala teman wanitanya tidak mengalami sebarang kecederaan.

Pasangan itu kemudian diselamatkan dan dibawa oleh rakan-rakan mereka sejurus konvoi kereta-kereta Ferrari itu tiba di lokasi kemalangan.

Sementara itu, Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah negeri, Asisten Komisioner Mohd. Zaki Masroh mengesahkan kejadian berkenaan.

Bagaimanapun, beliau tidak dapat mengulas lanjut mengenai kes berkenaan.

well .. i believe it has hit the Singapore papers this mrng so I'll give a quick rundown. I did send a couple of more detailed PM's to people as well.

in a nutshell .. Ferrari club drive & weekend to Genting .. after 209km we came across gangsters driving a black e-class merc (with after market body kit) claiming to be police and/or customs officers who made several failed attempts to stop and rob cars within the convoy (one with 2 young children inside who were understandably very shook up). they then gave chase to a solo running 430 which lost control in heavy rain and was extensively damaged; whilst the driver was uninjured by the accident he was then beaten and robbed.

to dispell a rmrs, I do not believe that they were waiting for us knowing that our club wud be coming thru, but more a case of they were looking for victums and we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

quite a few shaken up people and overall not a pleasant experience .. and for those traveling up/down the north/south hwy i'd take extra precautions where possible, and do not stop for anyone!

bottom line bruises and a wrecked ferrari .. time will heal the bruises and insurance can replace the car, but it nothing can replace lives .. so we are thankful for that!

The Short, Deadly Story of a Kid and his M5

Date posted: 01-28-2008

He posted on the BMW M5 forum - www.M5board.com - as "AmericanM5," the proud new owner of a 2008 BMW M5 painted Space Gray.

He had a problem. It happened when he had "everything set to max" and changed gear with the shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel. As he said, "and I'm going pedal to the metal pushing 140 and upshifting, there tends to be a thud noise with the gear change." AmericanM5 wanted to know if this was normal.

And he added: "Let me say I am a beginner when it comes to high-performance cars as I am only 18, so take it easy on me."

Reality Check
The forum members told him that yes, the sensation of an abrupt gear engagement is normal with the M5's automated sequential manual transmission, but several also took the opportunity to express their concerns.

Wrote one: "It's just disturbing to know...that an 18-year-old who is asking these questions about a 500-horsepower car is driving the same streets I am. I don't have anything against young guys driving nice cars, but an 18-year-old being [behind] the wheel of an M5 is what accidents are made of."

AmericanM5 responded: "I completely understand where you are coming from, assuming that I am irresponsible...that is definitely understandable. I do sometimes make bad decisions but I am young and I do drive safe and I will not endanger the lives of others."

These posts were dated January 25, 2008.

Space Gray
At 3:30 a.m. on January 26, a 2008 BMW M5 painted Space Gray flew off the raised end of a runway at a private airport just outside Ocala, Florida, sailed 200 feet through the air and stuck a huge tree. The impact with the tree occurred 15 feet off the ground. Five young men, aged 18 to 20, were killed instantly.

Members of the M5Board began to put the pieces together. AmericanM5 said he was 18, had a 2008 M5 in Space Gray, and said he lived in the Ocala area. And he signed one of the posts, "Josh."

The driver of the crashed M5 had been Josh Ammirato.

Experience Counts
Apparently AmericanM5 had not been entirely truthful in his postings. The M5 belonged not to him, but instead to his father.

When members of the M5board forum had made this suggestion online, AmericanM5 bristled: "It's mine, buddy. I just traded in my 335i and paid the difference."

Another member suggested that AmericanM5's lack of knowledge about the BMW M5's transmission could be easily explained: "Maybe your two years' driving experience in your whole life is the problem."

AmericanM5 responded: "That could be a good assumption but the fact I never drive a manual car before may be true, but I've been driving for a lot longer than two years, buddy."

Reports indicate that Ammirato had received four traffic citations in the last two years.

Is This for Real?
The crash occurred at the Greystone Airport, which is bordered on one side by Jumbolair Estates, a fly-in community where actor and pilot John Travolta lives; he filed a suit in 2007 to compel the owners to allow him to land his Boeing 707 on the strip.

The fly-in community was built by the late Arthur Jones, inventor of Nautilus exercise equipment. The airstrip is 7,550 feet (1.5 miles) long and is 210 feet wide. Apparently it can be accessed through an unguarded gate.

The five occupants of the M5 had attended a basketball game, and then a party where they were celebrating the 19th birthday of Dustin "Smiley" Dawe, one of the men killed.

The Florida Highway Patrol reported that there was evidence of skid marks at the end of the runway, indicating the car had turned sideways before crossing a sloped embankment and sailing through the air and into the tree. Alcohol does not appear to have been involved. The accident made headlines in the Ocala Star-Banner.

A Final Word
The final exchange between AmericanM5 and the rest of the forum members came late on January 25.

Some members wondered if the 18-year-old M5 owner was for real, and suggested that he post some photos of his car. Others wondered why a teenager would opt for an expensive sedan instead of more conventional sports car like a Porsche.

A forum member from Queensland, Australia, applauded AmericanM5's decision to get a BMW: "I would much prefer an 18-year-old with brains to have an M5 rather than spend his money on some other piece of junk that could kill him and his mates in an accident," wrote M5DAL, a forum member since 2004. He continued: "If you crash in a big way, expect to be on the news."

"Thanks, guys, don't get me wrong," AmericanM5 wrote. "I never said I didn't respect your wisdom. Thanks for the welcome, and I am looking forward to getting to know you guys better...and I plan to have all the pics up tomorrow. Josh."

That was his last post.

In the video game industry, developers and designers are rarely known and even more rarely seen. it is a rare and special case when one comes into the spotlight giving a name to a face. Game Producer Jade Raymond is one of those cases. Jade Raymond a video game producer in an industry dominated by men, she is truly an inspiration and she breaks the mold of what peole think a game developer is.

Jade Raymond was born in Montreal Canada. She attended the Marianopolis private college in Downtown Montreal and after spending one whole summer playing video games it became pretty clear for her that she had not only to play them, but to make them.

As a teenager, she did night shifts working as a hospital switchboard operator. Part of her job involved calling "Code-Green" or "Code-Red" over the loud speaker and paging hospital staff when there were emergencies.

She later studied computer science at the McGill University in Montreal, and after graduating college with a degree in, Jade's first job was programming games at Sony. While at Sony, she founded the first Research and Development group within Sony Online. Her team was responsible for leveraging Sony IP across multiple platforms and ultimately building Sony Online's most trafficked offerings: the entire suite of Jeopardy games played by over 3,000 simultaneous users on a daily basis.

With a specialty in creating and designing online games, Jade began work at EA as a producer and went on to be the Producer behind one of EA's most popular online games to date, The Sims Online. She was directly responsible for all design and implementation of online game features and content for EA's highest revenue generating wholly owned property.

After seven years of working in New York and San Francisco she moved back to Montreal, her hometown, to make games at the world acclaimed Ubisoft Montreal Studio.

She is currently the producer of the highly anticipated title Assassins Creed, one of the most buzzed-about titles of 2007. As a video game producer, she is in charge of overseeing the development of the game regarding the creative and technical development of the game as well as maintaining schedules and budgets. She is also acting as a liaison between the development staff and the publisher or executive staff insuring the game will be delivered in time.

Her biggest break came at the 2003 Game Developer Award's Ceremony where she was one of the presenters. After the ceremony, Victor Lucas, the co-host and executive producer of the popular G4 TechTV's show called The Electric Playground came up to her and asked her to join the crew along with Tommy Tallarico, Julie Stoffer and Geoff Keighley. Although she never thought that I would be doing tv, she said it's a lot of fun and liked her experience very much. Because of this, Jade is now known to game fans throughout the world. As a result, she also gets to help out other game designers and producers by interviewing them for the show, which allows fans to put faces with names.

Once a person behind the scenes, Jade Raymond has advanced to a level many in the gaming community never see. Her appearances during gaming conventions such as E3 and X06 have made her popular amongst gaming fans. And while she is enjoying the fame that come with being on television, she still finds time to do what she loves most: Make video games.

She played Everquest 10 hours every day for three months when it came out. Her favorite video games of all time is Resident Evil 4, but liked alot Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Tekken 3, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, PaRappa the Rappa, Intelligent Cube and Incredible Crisis. She is currently playing Loco Roco on her PSP and has a weak spot for any game that involves monkeys, peculiar Japanese names or Zombies.
