was once a cute chubby boy back in his secondary school days. Until the day he was brought into army. His BMTC in Ninja Company (2006) and 35SCE Survey Platoon (2006-2007) brought
about a transformation (and a little quirkiness) in him. He obtained superhuman powers and is now called, the Super Pioneer! By day, he is a lazy bum who slacks around at home,
blogging and doing useless things. By night, he turns into Super Pioneer, doing the relentless works that is given to him. After the defeat of his Arch Nemesis, The Brain,
Super Pioneer Daron is moving on with his life and onto the next villian, the NUS Monster.

Fright or Guts at the wheel?
"When You're Gone, but u sleep forever now.
When You're Gone, I am waiting for you..."
When You're Gone, I am waiting for you..."
~West Grand Boulevard, Waiting For You
Imagine yrself driving in this baby~ I did.My Dad is once again off on his business trip, this time at Penang from this friday till Sunday. So guess wad? He passed me his Alfa key's and asked me to drive him to the airport in the morning...
WAD? HIS ALFA ROMEO 156i? nobody touches that in the Yeo Clan other than my dad. But then again besides me, there's just my mum too, though if you ask her to drive it.. I highly doubt she'll get it back in 1 piece. This being said, I did recall driving his precious on one occasion, but that was only a short distance and pretty much a straight road back home. This however, is totally on a different scale. This is the 2nd time I'm driving Alfa and it was the longest journey I have set to drive.
Getting the old habit of Chervolet Aveo out of the system was difficult. First of all, Alfa is shaped differently from Chervolet, so making Alfa travel in the middle of the road took a while of getting used to. My dad nearly ate his tongue up when I nearly took out his left side window when i got a little too close to the comfort of one of the cars beside mine. But I said "Relax~" The next thing about the car was that it was super sensitive on the road. Stepping a little on e accelerator would mean pumping lots of power to the car itself. With the lazy foot from Chervolet, I wasnt able to regulate my speed the way I want it to be. Most of the time I jumped from gear 1 to gear 3 in 2 seconds. Yep, it's an auto car, but yet it still functions like a manual one. Later, when we neared the airport, I sorta turned slightly late at a turn, making my Dad do the amazing somersault in a circus act. But I said "Relax~" I stopped relaxing after he told me that I was actually brushing his tyres on the drain holes near the road. For those newbie drivers out there, it means I was super close the kerb.
Alfa Romeo 156i is a good car to have. I mean, it can easily impress any chick out there with its sleek looks and mean speed. It has lots of cool gadgets in the car, like control panels on ur steering wheel and even alarm systems to alert you when your car faces a problem. I have no idea how many of such "girls" my Dad may have drove around with, but pass it to his son, and his car will be fully utilised for such occasions. :D
So.. you peeps may be wondering what kind of cars I would like to drive.. So here's a top 5 list of what Darren would love to drive..! Not arranged in any order, and im not a car expert.. so haha~ give me advice on my selection..!
1.Peugeot 307CC 2. Audi TT Coupe 3. Subaru Imprezza WRX 4. Lexus IS08 5. Alfa Romeo 159

But before I even dream about owning such cars, if I cant even have a sturdy job, then I guess it will be good to get a suzuki swift, left alone a bicycle.. haha!
