Waaaaaaaaaaaaaiting for exhaust shop to open... So let's see... What does Fook do?

 

These days, sadly it's all about cars. Cars cars and more cars. Maybe a bit of photography thrown in, but really nto much other than cars.

 

But what else does Fook like to do?

 

Rock climbing. I used to climb a fair bit when I was at uni, and have climbed a fair bit of South East Queensland (inc Brooyar State Forest, Frog Buttress, Glasshouse Mountains, Kangaroo Point, among others), and a fair bit of the Blue Mountains, inc the Three Sisters. I've also climbed in Malaysia. I even have a reasonably large bouldering wall at home, just for some fun :dance: But yes, due to my Honours year at uni, and now cars and work, I haven't had much time to get into climbing...

 

Latin dancing. Used to dance a fair bit, mostly at Casablanca but also at a few other clubs. Haven't done it for a long time now though, and am very very very rusty. Am hoping to get back into this just socially, have even found a female friend who's interested in dancing with me, yay.

 

Inline skating. Used to skate a lot when I was in high school, have done most disciplines inc speed skating, street hockey, street and ramps, but haven't done pipes. Stopped skating when I left high school, have skated just socially maybe half a dozen times since. Very rusty, but skating is like riding a bike, you never really forget the basics.

 

Photography. I like photography, most kinds of photography actually. Am not as into it as Haikal, but I do like it.

 

Hiking, camping, things like that. Yes, I like these too :)

 

Squash. Used to play squash a fair bit in high school, and played for a little bit with some work mates about a year or two ago but haven't really played for awhile now. No, I'm not very good either.

 

Fish. No, not fishing, I hate fishing because I cannot catch anything. I have a fish tank. All my fish died. Well, except for two. Hmm.

 

Running. Used to run a fair bit, used to do mostly middle-long distance stuff. Injured both my knees, can't run anymore.

 

Sailing. Used to sail a fair bit when I was in Malaysia, mostly monohull boats, mostly single or double seater (Laser's and Laser2's) Have sailed a cat once since I got here, don't like it as much as the monohulls...

 

Umm... I think those are the things that I've gotten into lately, or really liked awhile ago.

I wanna buy a Remington 700 LTR .... one day... I have never fired a gun before but it looks fun.. and because i'm not one for killing things... I would shoot targets :dance:

If you love something, set it free.

If it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it....

[Nitephyre]

My interests?

 

* Cars: Corollas!! (Thats why we are all here right?) :dance:

 

* Computers: My job and hobby on the side, have a few regular clients I help with their computers on the side as well.

 

* Fishing: Yes, one day I will arrange a rollaclub fishing trip, might even see if we can help those people who have never caught a fish before with their fishing skills. :fuzz:

 

* Electronics: Soldering and wiring stuff together is always fun, looking foward to playing with auto electrics (EFI) soon!

 

* BBQ;s: Who cares who with, be it rollaclub or family, as long as a sizeable portion of beef rib fillet is sacrificed on a hotplate i'm happy!

 

* Beaching: Love going to the beach in summer, especially to give the optic nerves a good workout.

 

* Game Consoles: XBOX - love it, can't get enough! N.E.S. - Got that retro feel, been collecting more games for it off ebay..

 

Probably more, but that should do for now.. :)

Haha, I've been out with someone I regard as the King Fisherman and still all I caught was a measly little squid (who also drenched me in black stuff) while him and my brother just kept reeling them fishes in...

 

And then one time I got desperate so I went to a fish farm, where they have a big pond full of fish and is supposed to be a no-brainer definite-catch experience, and 6 hours later I was still with no fish :) I suck at fishing. Maybe I smell :dance:

[TOMsGPTurbo]

haha Fook I feel your pain, I can sit for 4hrs and not one bite and hand the fishing rod to my g/f for a sec while I put my hat on or something... and she can pull in 2 in that time... I believe it is a lack of skill nothing more.

 

Ok... I better add to my list or expand on myself a little more.

 

I love nature, wild life, bush walking, mountain biking, hiking and exploring, I love to be out in the middle of the mountains and not see one man made object..

 

I also have a fish tank ! well... I bought it for my g/f ..as her birthday gift.. but I'm in charge of it.. It use to be nice planted until i bought a moon light gouarmi who ate most of my plants! I have 2 x Cat Fish, 2 x sharks, 7 odd Goruami's, 2 x rainbow fish and a couple of platties.. I intend to purchase more fish at a later date. .... its a 5.5ft tank so plenty of space.

 

I love photography.. this would be my fave art that I do.. lately I've been getting into Black and White a fare bit and I'm planning to do a trip into Brisbane specially to take photos.

 

I love sailing (Fook maybe I am your perfect match :) lol) however I haven't been on a proper sailing boat yet :fuzz: I sailed the South Passage which is a big old schooner. Lately I've been going out on my mates Mustang cruiser.. thats cool.

 

Cryptozoology interests me a lot ... specially when it relates to historical events and uncovering stories from the past. A friend is currently writing a book and I have contributed to it with some of my personal stories. I take interest mainly in the Yowri (Yowie) and Big Cats.. however I have heard of big scale/skin like birds which is also interesting.

 

I like engineering and sustainable energy, other methods of harnessing earths fuels. Also I like to read and think, actually a palm reader told me I think to much lol..(he was very acurate with my past too)

 

I enjoy drinking an ale with friends and also cooking, I do enjoy gardening, I have a 12yr old Bonsai and a 2yr old bonsai... however I think something killed them both recently :P

 

I also like to study Metorites.

 

I enjoy music, everything from Dido, bach, chopin, prodigy, crystal method, Andrea Bocelli, tool and everything inbetween.

 

(I also love women but one above all else :dance: )

See... I enjoy the process of attepting to fish. Whether or not anything is caught is largely irrelevant to me... just sitting in a boat in the middle of the ocean around sunset does it for me.

[Redwarf]

I'm with Haikal, except for me it was fishing off rocks in Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road. One of the highlights of my childhood, even though I caught stuff all.

 

Sadly, you take it all for granted at that age. I feel old......
