Of lunch and Silver

My colleagues and I went for lunch last Friday at Cargas Cafe (excellent stingray curry and superb fried chicken). We went in a pals Honda City and en route, we found this pair of uber gay sunglasses in his glove compartment which he humoured us by putting it on and posing for us.
After a hearty meal, we were given rolling class by our machinist buddy. Awesome skill, he could use 2 leafs to combo into one huge dooby!
Lookit the size of that sucker!
After a hearty meal, we rushed back to work as we had a PFMEA to complete. After work, I was feeling a little dreary driving the SLK (small little kancil) around for two weeks, so I decided to give Silver a visit.
I'd always wanted to have a dark silver shade and my buddy Leong hooked me up with some wicked pearl effect dark silver he'd whipped up and some purty good lacquer.

They were doing some finishing touches as per my request. A little flat black here and there never hurt anyone right?
Leong, the master painter himself, was working on the finishing touches and minor touch ups.
The assisstant doing some final detail checking on the front to make sure there's nothing left unpainted.
I have to admit that the paint looked nice and dark in the shade, but not what I'd expected to see. After the rub down and polishing, the painters moved my car out into the light and I saw what I'd orinigally wanted. Silver was now a nice dark shade almost similar to the one found on the Altezza.
Awesome! I can't wait to drive it...
Last night my buddy, who's studying med in Ukraine, arrived and asked me to pick him up at the airport and have a drink. After drinks he passed me a container of microwaveable Siew Mai flown in from HK (his transit). Instant foods are definitely picking up eh?
An excellent end to a great weekend all in all... Silver should be out soon.
