Oh yah! Almost forgot to blog about this. One of the SDAR officer saw me cycling to school and asked if I'm interested in setting up a cycling club in NP.

Let's see the current commitments I have on hand:
1. Magnum Force
2. SACA Mountain Biking Sub-Committee
3. Togoparts Review Team Moderator
4. NP Cycling Club President(???)

Considering the fact that out of the 3 commitments I have on hand now, 2 of them are biking related. Should I or should I not... =
And also this incident of apot calling a kettle black?

I was in school this morning, and while moving to my next class, my ex-classmates saw me. I was sporting the LiveSTRONG wristbands, in support of the LAF. There were 2 on my wrists, so they told me to give them one of them. He, himself was already sporting one on his wrist, and he had the cheek to ask me to give him another. I told him, don't wear the wristband if you do not know what's the purpose and who's the starter for it. His reply was the thing that pisses me off:Why cannot wear? Only cyclists can wear ar?! And you are wearing 2, POSER!I simply ignored him, and went into the elevator.

I feel so disgusted sporting the wristband now. It had simply become another fashion trend, making me a part of it without my knowing. Sporting a wristband is a IN thing, be it yellow, red, white or blue. I simply took off my wristbands and kept it in my bag before leaving school. It's supposed to be in aid of a useful and productive cause, and now, it has become a tool of fashion.

The purpose of wearing 2 is for me to give away 1 at anytime if anyone who came up to me asked where do I got it from, when they do know of the cause and purpose of it. I have seen many of them, who came up to me asking where I got it from. A simple question from me, do you know what is it for, and they replied a wonderful answer: Lance Armstrong Foundation in aid of cancer research and fundings. That simply made my day and off goes my wristband to me, without a single cent. Isn't this what US is practising? Passing the wristbands around without a single cent? Yet in SG, you are being called a poser.

Good job seniors! Congrats for getting into the finals. I know even without the Heats, you guys will confirm, garantee plus chop and sign get into the Finals. Now is just another 2 weeks to bring the title back to Ngee Ann! All the way guys! =)

Wonderful stunts, stunning dancemoves and an overstanding ovation from the crowd, that's what you will get when you see Magnum Force in action! Everyone is keen to catch Magnum's performance, rite? =)

Woke up late, took cab down to school. Too tired the previous night. =X So today was simply a Magnum day.

The title's coming home in 2weeks! Cheers!

Got up late, rushed down to school for 3hrs of lessons. Went home and rest for awhile. Grabbed my bike and went for 1 round of BT. Not enough time to complete 2 laps. BT was farking slippery, with the rain yesterday. Damn! No lines to pick, fallen leaves were all over the trail. Grrr... Flat-spotted my rear quite a few times, but luckily no flats. =P

Went down to school after that to watch the National Team train for the Heats, which is later! Yeah! Good jobs guys! Stick it there for a couple more hours and we will see you guys bringing back home the title once again. =)

Going to school early tomorrow. -roars- Spoil my perfect weekend, and my weekend's burnt due to the many bushfires.... =P

Now this sucks...

My wounds have been affecting my sleep real bad. Can't turn over to the side without waking up half consciously. Damn... Now I'm lacking of sleep real bad...

-ROARS-

Too long never update... Let's just update on the weekend part.

Saturday: Went to Ang Mo Kio, C2C bikeshop to pass my bike parts to the buyer. Turned out the parts wasn't the specific model that was mentioned by Hup Leong... =\ Never mind about that, still got my $50 for that. Got a pair of Catlike socks too. Nice... Headed down to Pacific Plaza to play lightbulb for awhile. Actually was there to pass Caron her belated present. Left after awhile, too bright lar.. =P Went home and stoned after that... Oh! Orchard Road was in a total chaos after 6pm. Be it the road or the pedestrain walkways or the underpass... The GAY parade was on... =X

Sunday: Supposed to go for ride with Guo Bin and the rest. Couldn't wake up due to late night before. Woke up at 1200+ hrs instead. Had lunch and went down to school, under the specific instructions of Pauline... Wait.... Something's wrong here... I was supposed to go down even if Pauline didn't ask me to go down... I was supposed to pass Siti the $$$ for the uniform. Haha... Just that I went down abit earlier... =P Passed the $$$ and went to BT for 2 laps... -roars- Endoed and crashed on Lap 1, broke my speedo mount. Got open wound on my elbow and hip, and some roadrash on the sideribs... No speedo for the time being... =( No mileage recorded... Got a pinchflat on Lap 2. Damn it! Slowly rode back to the Visitor Center after that... I scare pinchflat again... -roars-

Rode back to school to clean up my wound with running water. They just finished their training, so I went back home also... So tired and pain... -ouch- Now whole body sore sore... =\ I still can't bring myself to chiong down the slopes... I kiasi lar... =X

Damages today:
1. Broken Speedo Mount
2. Scratched X.0 Rear derailler(lucky just abit only)
3. Open wounds mainly on the right
4. Flatspotted rims due to pinchflat

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

No mood to update, and nothing much to update.

Saturday went for Bike and Blade training ride. Rode all the way to Upper Thomson, only to realise their 'training' ride is riding loops, and more loops. Riding in circles... Bullshit sia! They think Malaysia all flatland? Or downslopes only? Wanna do training also ride around Mandai lar... -tsk tsk- Luckily Zuyi was there, went with him for 1 loop and went for breakfast. His friend fell off his bike near the carpark area. Self-inflicted embrassament, trying to do trackstand/whatever? and unable to clip out in time and -BAM- on the floor. Haha... Luckily not much damage, except for a couple of scratches. Went to Hup Leong after that, tightened cassette and did abit of tuning. Did I mention Fadzil was with me all along? =P Went home and washed his bike. Major cleanup sia! So dirty. But now super clean, with the help of diesel. =P

Sunday: Almost couldn't make it for Togoparts Brunch Ride. Alarm was set @ 0630hrs, only got awaken by Tommy's call @ 0730hrs. Haha... Rushed out of house and reached there just in time to take photos. =P Went around Sengkang, Punggol, Seletar before retreating back to Jalan Kayu for pratas. Damn! Whenever I don't bring along a tube, I'm bound to get a leak or a puncture. Grrr... Caused a tangled chain while trying to remove my rear wheel. Just changed drivetrain, so still new, cannot blame. Haha... Rode back home, showered and went to sleep.

Still thinking should I go for Bike and Blade. Mother not happy with me liaoz, asking where's my Ang Bao $$$. Told her it went to the ride, when it actually went to my new phone. OH! I didn't mentioned I got a new phone, a Nokia 6260. =)

Went to school for lessons today, got roses for some of them. Pocket abit tight, so bo-bian. 3 lucky gals got the roses. You should know who you are, with the exception of one... =) Accompanied Mel down to town, walking down Orchard... Haha... A part-time V-day date... Lolx... Actually just send her down and get her stuffs she wanted, and waited for her friends to arrive before leaving. =P Simple term: Bellboy. Haha...

Tired sia, ciaoz. Tomorrow 1300hrs lessons, tonight must sleep until shiok shiok. =P

Happy Lunar New Year to all! =)

Haven't got the mood to update, for the fact that I'm home late, tired from a day's out.

LNY Eve, had reunion dinner at home. Had some much food that couldn't finish at all. Went over to Chinatown with Ken, Clarice and Qian Lin to catch the countdown and some cheapo stuffs. Haha... All the stuffs are going lelong lelong... But didn't buy anything, scared from the previous year experiences. All the stuffs I bought, all taste KNS. =X So I'm smart this year round, don't buy even though it's cheap.

1st day of LNY, slept the whole day away. Woke up around 1600+hrs, comtemplating to go James' house for gathering anot. Turned out to be a great 1! Saw so many old-birds. Played Blackjack, first time lucky. Got a Ban-Luck on the first 2 games. Haha... James was the real lucky one. Bet $10, and he got a Ban-Luck straight away. Bet $20, same thing. Kaoz! The banker lugi until cannot lugi sia... Haha... But in the end, still lost about $10 here and there. Reached home about 0100+hrs. Slept at around 0500+hrs.

2nd day of LNY, woke up around 1200+hrs. Changed and followed my mum out for visiting. Got many many ang baos. Haha... Big ones somemore... Felt so stoney after awhile, then headed to another friend's house. Helped myself to the new year snacks, but I didn't know we were going dinner with them! SHIT! I ate so much of the snacks until I'm so full. And I was pushed with food at the dinner... -.- Now I feel so bloated... -burps-

Tomorrow got school. So sucky... Spoil the holiday mood... -roars- Lucky lessons finish at 1200hrs. If not sure die for them to see sia... =X

Saturday: Went to help setup the race course and the logistics for the BT race on 6th Feb. Met the main comm at Tanjong Katong for breakfast, then to National Stadium to pick up some guys and to Yishun to load up the stuffs. Then off to BT to setup the race course. Hard work man... Finished everything around 1500hrs. Headed off to Adam Road Food Center for late lunch. Went to collect the registration forms and headed back home. Rest for awhile and changed to head out for BBQ.

ECP was dangerous. Reached the pit, no one in sight. -roars- Called Qian Lin and she wanted me to buy firestarters from 7-11. Took risks in getting my bike stolen by getting the firestarters for her. Undone the QRs, brakes and dropped all the gears till cannot move. Rushed in and out of 7-11, finally got it. Saw Dennis(Shrek) outside 7-11 with his girlfriend. Long time didn't see him. Had a small chat and headed back to the Pit. Started the fire around 1830hrs and it was ready to cook around 1900+hrs. Damn hard to start 2 pits at the same time... 1 gal caught my attention while BBQ-ing. Got the X-factor, or is it Y-factor. Haha... Don't know how to describe to you, but I guess it was the most appealing among all those gals who are present. =P Standard lar, guys always go for the best on first sight. Talked alot of cock over the fire. =P

They left quite early, around 2300hrs. So left the usual gang at the pit. So boring. I got to attend raceday @ 0630hrs the next morning, so after much comtemplation, headed back home to rest instead of staying over with the gang. Bad call. I overslept by a zillion miles! Should have stayed back. At least they could KPKB me and wake me up. -roars-

So Sunday was spent at home sucking thumb. You get the picture. =

BTF was damn easy today. Think can score at least 75 marks. =P

Came home to meet Fadzil who's coming over to pick me, my bike and handphone up. Yup! Getting a 'new' phone soon. Waste so much time backing up all the stuffs in my handphone memory. -roars- Popped over to Hup Leong after that to get some GT85. Then headed for lun-er(Is that how you call lunch+dinner?) at Liang Seah Street.

Got dropped off at Guo Bin's place around 1720hrs. Spent most of the evening there fixing up the 'new' parts onto my bike. New shifters, rear derailler, chain, cassette and cable. BUT! A major cock-up in the final tuning. Don't know why also. So no choice have to go down to Tiong Hin to get uncle to tune it up for me.

On the way there, just about to reach TH, just short of a right turn, 1 motherfucker tried to be funny with me and gave me a horn. I was approaching the traffic light junctions, the green arrow was flashing and I was about 3-4 lamp-posts away from it, so I coast to the stop line. Just as I was about to reach and place my foot on the road, the motherfucker horned me. I turned around and gave a "WHAT THE F YOU WANT" wave. He just gave me a middle finger. That pissed me off, that's it!

-BOOM- Threw my bike down in the middle of the road, went up to the MF(not Magnum Force) car and start asking what the hell he wants. This was the conversation:
-winds down window 15cm-
Me: Knn! What you want?
MF: You blocking my way, I want to cross.
Me: Can't see red light ar?
MF: Just now it was green.
Me: Flashing green and you want to cross, wait awhile cannot ar?
MF: You got pay roadtax anot?
Me: Never pay roadtax means 2nd class road user ar? Wait for awhile will die ar?
MF: Will die leh.
Me: Die for me to see now.
MF: Fuck You.
-quickly winds up window-

All that happened within 1 minute.

That made me blew my volcano. Profanities starting spewing everywhere. And he got the cheek to horn again, and try to move forward to scare me off. Wrong move MF! Slammed on his bonnet and gave him a hard stare before turning around to pick up my bike. He continued his horning for all I care. I just waited for the green arrow to show before I took my turn. Just to piss him off for all I care. You can't wait, that's your business. My safety comes first.

There was a mini bazzar around the area, so almost everyone was looking at the commotion. Great publicity for the MF who don't give way to a cyclist. Try to be funny with me, that's it!

Reached Tiong Hin and uncle was so nice to adjust my shiftings without accepting a single cent. Offered to get him a drink, but he refused. I insisted and he gave in. What a nice uncle. =) Rode back home without much funny and horn-y drivers bothering me. -roars-

Weekend's burnt and CNY is just a few days away. Damn! I haven't clean up my room... And there's race course setup later in the morning, BBQ in the evening. Sunday raceday, busy at least until 2-3pm. Gotta find time to clear out the junks, and re-arrange the stuffs. 2 seperate days to do it. -roars-

Haiz... Don't know why suddenly feel like venting out steam again.

Just a few days back, someone told me this: She's your ex-senior, but she quitted Magnum. See, now she's so free to do her stuffs.

It just hit me. I got not enough time to do my stuffs. SACA, Magnum, biking, school, catching up with friends... Too much commitments, too many things to do.

Something hit me back at the same time too. I didn't bring along my handphone on that day, of course no one will pick up the phone, what you expect me to do? God damnit! I'm not taking any things from anyone to pass to any of your mortals from now on. FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

JUST DAMN PISSED WITH ALL THIS SHIT! YOU CAN TAKE IT, BUT SORRY MAN! I CAN'T!

Thoughts about quitting have been in my mind for quite a long time. Teammates not giving in their best, throwing weight around(not EXCO), yayapapaya. I had enough of this shit... Should I quit? DAMN!

Lance Armstrong wasn't a quitter. If he had quitted, he wouldn't still be here, winning Tour de France, the toughest tour on the face of this earth that spans 3 full weeks. If he had quitted, he wouldn't have started the LAF. If he had quitted, there wouldn't be someone as great as him, overcoming cancer and winning the most prestigious tour 6times.

All these are IF he had quitted, but he doesn't. He simply don't quit. I'm a Lance Armstrong supporter, and if he didn't quit, why should I? I wouldn't be called a Lance supportor if I were to quit that easily.

Time to update again. This week is common test week, 4 papers in succession. Tuesday to Friday. -wheu- Tomorrow's the last paper, gotta score for that bloody cockanathan module. Whack a high high score for it, and that's it!

EG1 on Tuesday is damn easy, I got prepare for it, of course man! =P Wednesday's MMT(A) was a killer, so chim. Even on topic that we didn't even touch, or was it because of my MIA for lectures? =X Thursday's Etech, either I find it rather ok, able to apply the formulas, or the paper damn tough until I anyhow bomb in the formulas? That I wouldn't know until the paper's back in 2weeks time. =
Been rather busy with all the mails about this Sunday's race @ BT. Damn, weekend's burnt! And I haven't cleaned my room for the Chinese New Year! Argh! Think tomorrow after I come back from my paper, must chop chop and clean it up. I gotta rush down to Guo Bin's place to fix up my new bike parts. =P Got alot of FOC stuffs from Andre, free cassette, free lube spray, free powerbars... Bike parts now comes with a discount, benefits of being in the SACA Sub-Comm. Will be more busy than usual, but then got discount and FOC stuffs to get, might as well. =P

SRAM X.0 grip-shifters and rear derailler, Wippermann Teflon Chain, Fibrax gear and brake cables, Token cassette, and Weldtite TF2 spray. I'm gonna have a jolly good time getting used to gripshifts.

Pondering whether I should get the UST tyres from Andre for BT... Free of Charge, but it's UST! Heavy sia, but just abit more. Shall give him a call or msg tomorrow morning before paper, see what he can do. =P

Tata~

-dead-

Went to school this afternoon to find my EG1 lecturer to ask him about some of the difficult questions that I encountered in previous semesters' CT papers. Reached school around 1230hrs, by cab. =X Used money from my untouchables again... Argh~

Went to Atrium to find Kelly after that for her interview on Coffee... Haha... Then went to have lunch at Canteen 3. Virgin lunch there. Haha... Had chicken chop, not bad at all. Chicken chop @ Canteen 3, Cutlet @ Canteen 4, Yong Tao Hu @ Canteen 1, Malay Food @ Canteen 1, Japanese Food @ Canteen 4. Realise Canteen 2 is not mentioned at all? =P

Went to clubhouse after that to slack. Used Kelly's lappie and watch Tour de Langkawi's Individual Time Trial(ITT). Wasn't that exciting... But Koji Fukushima is a real fast rider, even over took the rider that started off 2minutes before him. Man! We are talking about an average speed of 40-50kmh! 2mins = 1.6km of distance that he has to catch up, not to mention that starting from 0kmh to 40kmh needs time. And the distance should be around 2-2.5km when Koji gets up to optimal speed... Damn!

Took 67 to Tampines to meet Khai Wan and Bryan to pass them the wristbands. The stupid bus is so slow!!! Took 1hr 30mins and haven't reach Tampines! Bloody hell, even the later bus overtook us... Grrrrrr........ Waste my farking time. And I got SACA meeting @ Oaks @ Tanglin Mall @ 2000hrs. Ended up late for meeting.

Reached Oaks @ 2040hrs. =X Meeting haven't started. Haha... Had red wine, on the house of Phanjan. Now having sore throat already... Must be the chicken chop and fish&chips earlier today, and lack of fluids since I came back from Sedili. Siaoz liaoz... Sunday how to go BT to conduct race? =\ More water and herbal tea!
