Was in school from 11+, forgot to bring along my handphone. SHIT! Sherwin couldn't get to me, and I wasn't at Atrium. I was @ Blk 46. Sorry Sherwin, saw alot of missed calls from you, but I can't pick up as it was so far away from me. =X Can't blame me lar, I'm uncontactable.

Went home to get my handphone and popped over to Bugis Junction to pass some wristbands to the buyers. 2 gals and 1 guy. One of them was beautiful! Haha... Her auntie/grandma/mother(I don't know) knew what the wristbands were for. It's so surprising! So I gave it away for free to her, couldn't have the heart to collect $$$ from a fellow supportor of Lance and his movement.

Went home for dinner, and did I mention I post an ad on Togoparts forum looking for a pair of SRAM X.0 shifters and rear derailler? Someone forwarded me another seller's contact and I called him up. Deal was done in less than 6hrs. Woo! That's the fastest and sweetest deal I have ever done in TGP. Muahahahahahah... Time to fix it up once all the $$$ are in. Can't wait to try it out... =)

Livestrong are IN! A whole 130 pieces of them!

Made in China. =P

LAF wristbands are in! Just arrived in my house Wednesday morning. Supposed to be in on Tuesday afternoon, but postman lazy to come up to my unit, and left a notice in my mailbox. Grrrr...

Cycled to school yesterday(Wednesday), went to Atrium to study Etech for awhile before heading for EG1 remedials @ Blk 56. Went to clubhouse after remedial to rot for awhile before heading off to Bugis to pass Eugenia the wristbands she ordered. That's Wednesday for you. =)

Woke up around 0900hrs? I think so, so blur till that I didn't check my clock. Went online, did my SOP before going down to Tampines and Kallang to pass the wristbands. Didn't even went out of the gantry to deal. Just tap in, hop on train, alight, deal, hop on again, alight, deal, hop on again, tap out. Went home just in time for lunch, brought lunch. =P Went out again around 1400+hrs, to Orchard to pass the wristbands 1 more buyer. Waited for Fadzil to pick me up, while enjoying my Starbucks. Hopped over to Singapore Powers to pass James the wristbands as well. Haha... He thought I don't know where he work. =P

Went to Hup Leong after Fadzil picked me up, went to discuss with Gilbert whether could borrow the test-bike from him for an overseas ride in mid-March. "No problem! Just let me know before-hand so that I could tune up and service the bike." was his reply. Way too cool! Hopped over to Bugis Junction TCC for high tea. Haha... Lava cake with Mighty Joe Young. Felt like puking after the Mighty Joe Young.

Met up with 3 more buyers for the wristbands at City Hall. All nicely dealt. Transactions were a success. =) More tomorrow!

SHIT! I didn't even study at all today, tomorrow must go down school and whack 1 last time shiok shiok before the weekend.

I might be participating in the charity ride, Bike'n'Blade 2005 this March. More details @ www.charitybnb05.net . Doners anyone? Donate some towards charity. It's all for a good cause. =)

What kinda bird is that? An ostrich? Took it in Sedili.

Same as above.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been too lazy to update. Find blogging a chore now. Don't know why... Oh well, I just blog for the sake of blogging.

Friday was Hari Raya Haji. The sheeps aren't in, so we went riding in BT. Scary experience, long time didn't go, and lack of stamina, not to mention a skipping chain. Had a washout during one of the downslopes, once again it's due to my tyres. Grrr... Broke the catch of my speedometer and now I can't fix it securely on my handlebar. Gotta get a new one which means more $$$ going to the bikeshop. =\ Blame it on my itchy backside, what to do. Did I mention I had a small cut on my right leg, near the side of my kneecap.

Went home, changed and head out to town. Went to Borders to view magazine. Cheapo lar, don't wanna waste $$$ to buy, so go there read. They never say cannot read. Haha... Hopped over to the books section and preview Lance Armstrong's book. Bloody hell, the book I placed reservation in school, the bloody fucker who borrowed it still don't wanna return. Due date was 31st Dec 2004! Now 05 already, he still don't wanna return. KNN! Popped over to Paragon, wanted to get Lacoste Touch of Pink for my friend, but my ex-colleague wasn't there. So nevermind, went off to Starbucks @ California Fitness. Melanie saw me, haha... Called up Phil and Wilson, they meeting @ 1900hrs @ Toa Payoh, so went up to meet them there. They were late, SOP. Haha... Wilson got a date, so he ciaoz after dinner. Left me and Phil, called up Felicia and Xisheng. Went back town to meet them.

THEY WERE REAL LATE! Met at Taka's Coffee Bean, and went to Liat Towers Starbucks instead. Jin Rong popped by as well. Talked alot of cock there, and got sabo-ed as well. Grrr... Sent mushy mushy SMS to Pauline, only to get funny reactions from here. Stupid friends, always play pranks on me... Grrrr... Head home after that. Took NightRider, and the stupid bus took a long time to come. Not that the bus had alot of passengers, just ONLY 3! I wonder where the bus-driver went to eat snake. -tsk tsk-

Did I went out on Saturday? Oh yah! I went to school for the OutRace! Waste our time only. Was told to report @ 1230hrs, only to be informed that we will be flagged off @ 1430hrs. Well done! We were left stranded in NP, finding stuffs to eat and do. Finally got flagged off, went rock-climbing, raft-building and constructing a structure. Everything was a flop, other than the structure. Haha... Showered and changed in school, and went home after that. Too shag.

Didn't sleep for the whole Saturday night/Sunday morning. Gave Mel a morning call @ 0515hrs. She needa go to the airport. Was playing games all night long, so might as well. =) Went to sleep around 0600hrs, waking up around 1300hrs. Had lunch and went over to Kah Leong's house to service his PC. Faulty RAM was the problem, switched jumpers on his HDDs and lent him my RAM for the time being. Accompanyed him to take bus back to camp, and I went back home. People chao recruit leh. Don't pray pray. Haha...

Today was spent rotting at home, supposed to be studying, but can't find the mood to study. Stuffy room, think I must go back school and study. Anyone going back to study in Library? I just got notified that I need to go back to school on Wed for extra remedials. I just failed my latest EG1 Quiz. I was totally unprepared for... Oh well...

Good day! Went for IS lessons this afternoon. Settled my Oral Comm Presentation already, just need to touch up abit on the script and the visual layouts. S&W was great! Eat snake man! Haha... Signed up for The Outrace! by The Adventure Seekers as part of my attachment for S&W. It's on this Saturday in School, so that means I'm booked! Haha...

Went with Mellie Mel Mel for coffee @ Holland Village, that's after we met up in school after she finished her project. Haha... Popped over to her house for more chilled out session, had a great chat man! Haven't done that in such a long time. It's nice catching up with you, and I'm proud to be one of Mel's jiemei... =P

Going riding tomorrow with Guo Bin, meeting @ 0745hrs @ Ubi Kopitiam. Gotta run to sleep now! Tata~

PS: Mel, your mum's cooking is great! ;-)

Don't know why suddenly felt like writing this out.

Naive, arrogant. It all comes together. One could be naive on one side, and arrogant on the other side. Just found out today. Sometimes, you may find he/she being so naive and innocent, but then again, there's always another to a coin. Arrogant on the other half.

The naive and innocent part is fine with me, but definitely not the arrogant part. Simply makes me so pissed. Yayapapaya only. I have my methods of doing work, so don't criticise my way of working. Unless you are in my shoes, you do not have the right of criticising me. What works for you may not work for me. This theory even applies to bike, each butt have a liking to certain saddles only. What's comfortable for you, may be a thorn to my butt.

Just wanna get this off my mind. Grrrr...

I'm a chao-ta bugger now. All thanks to the wonderful sun over in Malaysia.

Yeap, back from the trip to Sedili Kechil, up northeast of JB. A total of 180+ km clocked for this trip. Let me do a quick recap on both days.

Day 1: Got onto bumboat at Changi Village, headed to Pengarrang. Started ride at about 1000+hrs, easy pace and smooth ride to Sg Ringgit. After Sg Ringgit, en route to Desaru, pace start to pick up, and the winds getting stronger and stronger as the wheels rolled on. Reached the first pitstop, no food and drinks in sight at all. All that you see, are just the endless roads going uphills, with a hot sun blaring down on you. No traffic at all, the whole lane is yours to ride. Got seperated with the main pack and rode slowly, pushing against the strong HEADwinds and the sunday. Legs working overtime with all the lactic acids flowing though my thigh muscles. Finally reached the resort around 1600+hrs. Took about 6+hrs with the breaks, clocked 80+ km on the first day. The toughest 80km ride yet.

Reached the resort and whacked on a plate of fried rice and mee goreng. Damn! Once you are hungry, anything that's edible taste extremely great to you. Went back to our room and got showered and changed. Took a short nap before dinner was ready. Went back to sleep after dinner, we need much rest for the ride next day.

Day 2: Got up @ 0645hrs. Showered and changed for the day out again. Had nasi lemak for breakfast. Departed from the resort at 0820hrs, reached the first RV point @ Kota Tinggi exactly 2hrs later. The RV point was 48km away from the resort, Sedili Kechil to Kota Tinggi. Speed averaging 24kmh. Just flat roads with tailwinds pushing you along. Easily hit 30-40kmh, as compared to the day before, 16-24kmh. We had a 1hr headstart from the faster pack. Once the faster pack arrived at the RV point, we moved off towards JB. Downhills all the way, once we were nearing Johor Jaya, traffic and road conditions starts to get worse. Big potholes and fast vehicles. But still friendly drivers giving you a big berth to move about, unlike Singapore where drivers will try all means to squeeze you off the road. Sands and small pebbles posed a problems to the roadies with skinny tires, wherelse for us moutain-bikers, just whacked through them. Hehe...

Reached our final RV point at the petrol kiosk just before the Customs at 1330hrs. A job well done! 3rd man to arrive there, partial due to the shortcut taken. =P Traffic jam to the customs was extremely bad that they had to seal off the slip-road to prevent a crossjam. Only for 4wheelers, not 2wheelers. So that explains the short cut.

End results of the ride, a real chao ta rider, with achy muscles and funny tanlines all over. A interesting yet tough ride, with the friendly riders, joking and chatting with you throughout the whole ride. By the way, did I mention I and my Fadzil were the only mangkuks with tires above the 1.5" mark? Suffering along the flat and smooth roads, but once we are in town with all the sands and stones, we are the KING! Muahahahahaha... Out of the whole pack of 15 riders, we were among the 5 mountain-bikers, and the only dumbos to be on knobbies. =X

Bye bye Singapore

Yes, bye Singapore for the weekend. Popping over to Malaysia for ride over the weekend. Riding up to Sedili and down to Kota Tinggi. Meeting tomorrow @ Changi Village, 0730hrs.

Don't miss me too much over the weekend. Would be uncontactable during to the lack of AutoRoaming. Tata...

Take care guys, and have a good weekend. =)

Can't even remember when was the last time I updated my blog. =P

Was busy playing Need for Speed Underground 2 lately. Other than doing my assignments that is.

Was supposed to go down to Sentosa for extra training on Saturday, BUT: Woke up late, card wasn't available for collection, the weather looks gloomy. -tsk tsk- So didn't go down afterall, went out pubbing later in the night.

Supposed to go to Ubin, but flew them aeroplane, AGAIN. =P Too shag from the night before. Haha... Ubin also nothing much, so flat and boring. Just slacked at home the whole day. Played NFSU2 the whole night until this morning, Monday morning, before heading for 8am lessons. 2nd time I done this.

Stoning during EG1 lectures. Can't believe the stupid tutor gonna send me for debarrment for not attending his practical lessons. Grrrr... I did all my MOL at home, go there sign in and surf net, @ 0900hrs?! I might as well sleep for 1 more hour at home... Sleep is precious you know... Not say that I didn't do my MOl, but I did. Stupid system, and tutor... Grrrrrrrrrrr...

Anyway, just woke up not too long ago and had dinner/supper. =P

So sorry for not updating for so long... Been very busy and lazy(kinda ironic?) lately...

The past week was rather meaningful, or at least the weekend is. 2004 has said goodbye, and 2005 has just said hello to us over the weekend. Simply rotted at home, spending quality time with my PC. Maxonline connection is ONLINE! Woohoo~

Saturday night, cycled over to Fadzil's place. Spent the night there as we were going for Sly's remembrance ride on Sunday morning. Location, Upper Pierce Reservior Carpark. So far away, but we still made it in time, even though our time schedule was abit behind time. =)

Almost everyone wore red in remembrance of Sly. His favourite colour was red. The ride started out very smoothly, with intervals of 2-3minutes between each group consisting of 10-15 riders.

Less than 15minutes into the ride, rain start to pour. "Drinks" were on freeflow throughout the ride ever since until the end of the ride. A very memorable ride indeed. Can't imagine Sly was riding that route every Sunday with the Thomson riders. It's real tough.

Had prata and a hot cup of teh-tarik for late breakfast. Simply too hungry, totally burnt out. Cycled back home, shivering all the way. -brrrrr-

Took a nap before going out to meet my secondary school friends for gathering again. Haha... 3times in 2weeks? Had dinner @ NYDC, spent a bomb over there. Result of spending a bomb there: A bloated Alan. Haha...

Weekends came to an end, with the school days saying Hi to you. Not good. Skipped the very first lesson of 2005. =X Simply too tired to wake up.

Same for today, but I didn't skipped the lectures. =)

K man, gotta run now. Tomorrow got lessons @ 0800hrs. And should I bring along my Oakleys with yellow lens tomorrow as safety glasses? -ponders-
