Riding in the Rain...

OOoo... I like the new layout! Nice and simple! But i have yet to update the links and modify some stuff here and there *evil smile*

Weeks just went by like water flowing down a gentle slope. Flowing continously where the slope take it. BMT was over, now I'm in Delta Coy in SISPEC. After spending 2 weeks in SISPEC, I'm beginning to get used to this so called "imprisoned" life i have. During my first week back at Tekong, I was feeling very down. It seemed like a year's time have passed during that time. Time that flew by us...

All seems better during my second week. A rather fun week of killing bees in the bunk every morning and night. Rats running rampant on the 5th floor of the building. And a little chance to shine out in performance for some live tripflare triggering. I have totally regretted of not bringing any reading materials there. Imagine the amount of time wasted of doing nothing or reading the extremely boring TSR!

I sensed a change in me. I felt that i have lost something and i'm beginning to lean more onto my materialistic side (That explains why i can spend $300 in 3 weeks or more like 6days). My spiritual side? Hmm, i wonder what's left?

Well, maybe i'll say more next week. More live firing this week... Man, why did you invent weapons?

Murmurs of a bike addict

Feeling great after the ride! Hee... I think i'm quite addicted to cycling. It seems to be a outlet to erase all the stuff about army. Once i'm on the bike with music blasting in my ears, the ride is simply... peaceful. After the ride, i feel so relaxed.. It seems that life have been pumped back into a guy that feels bored about army. A little breathing space of freedom from regimentation is what makes it good! HAH! SCREW NS!!!!

Once i get my roadie, i wanna join some races!!! =)

tomorrow going to Sispec.... gotta wake up early for breakfast with timo... and i'm still awake now!!!! gah... need coffee tomorrow!! been looking much through togoparts.com forum... and quite blurred on the selection of wheels for my roadie....

Mavic Ksyriums Elites - Strong and durable, but hard to find someone to fix it... $600 or more

American Classics - $500 but it think it's an imitation from the original which retails US$599 in the states...

Then i might get a cheap 2nd hand wheels then save up get a better one!

If i go with the first option, i'll cut down the number of carbon components on the bike.... whatever, will settle on the frame and its price....

And i just found out that i can surf the web on my clie with the handphone GPRS.... I wasted so much time stoning around.. argh! sleep

A hot day today... so no cycling... Here are some of the few alu frames i'm considering if i'm not getting a carbon one(which is most likely as i not in OCS.... so lesser pay, plus saving up for scuba lessons....)

Just got back from watching HP:Prisoner of Azkaban...

The show was a rather rush. Showing only the important parts, due to a shorter play time. "Hermonie" has grown up to a fine young woman. =) Found the movie rather colour dead than the previous 2. SEriously, i got all mixed up with all the HP novels as i read it all at one shot. Planning to really buy them and re-read them... but that would be a long long time later...

so later! sleep!

I'm kinda enlightened by Tyler Hamilton's spirit and endurance of his stunt during last year's Tour de France. He suffered a broken collarbone halfway through the Tour, and yet, continued on till the end. Imagine climbing up the treacherous hills with that injury and still manage to get third... Kudos...

Me reading too many bike magazines.... *dreams of road bike again*

An rather embarrassing moment just now... Was watching dvd on my bro's comp and a stupid sex scence came up, my mom popped into the room... Being unfamiliar with the dvd program, i failed in closing the full screen... argh... should have used ALT+TAB...

To my amazement, she told me not to think too much on such stuff and went on with her stuff... Me stunned, smiling weirdly to myself. Whatever!

Hmm, i think i screwed up on the appeal again... wahaha... Heck... Even if i dun get in this year, i'll try again next year.

I wanna watch HARRY POTTER!!!!

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence OST is rather good! hehe...

ha! just got back from Downtown east... HAd fun last night! Just Cycle and eat... and a nice slow night cycle by pasir ris... Nice!

Then looked at the blazing sun and decided to take a cab home.. With my bike of course. Then wanted to go coffe bean to sit there and relax... enjoy music and read.. maybe watching harry potter tonight or tomorrow... Heard that it's bad... And i would expect them to stick to the book. Anyway, I just wanna watch it!!!

Check out Crankbros latest pedals set to come out during august

Quattro

It's roadie subspecies of the eggbeaters... and it costs about US$170... And that would be around $300... And that means i'm not getting it... Argh... laterz... watching dvd on comp...

Got my pneumo and extra lenses! hehe... Guard duty was crap... so went home immediately to shower and get to CJ... Met up with kenneth they all... Went to Lido for a movie but didn't watch any in the end. SAw Yvonne and her family... No wonder her sis looked so familiar... then rushed to Chinatown and Queensway to get all my stuff!

Heh, was planning to tidy up my room later but i'm feelign rather tired... did about 50km today. Max speed 54km/h..... Personally i felt that it could have gone higher if not for the vibration at the BB and cranks... heh, i wonder what would happen if i did a max out on a road bike.... Since now i got the money, i was thinking of upgrading the GT.I have upgrade plans for cranks, levers, FD RD. In the end i decided to scrap it... All these would be changed only if they are starting to piss me off(that's when they are beyond repair)...

Roadie!
Trek, LOOK, ORBEA, Giant, Scott, Colnago, Litespeed... so many to see....

Hope Trek comes up with newer techs and so that 5200 would be pushed down... haiz...

Really hoping to cycle to the top of Malaysia, where the border of malaysia and thailand is. Somemore, all saving up for roadbikes! Imagine going up and down the bloody high hills on roadies! hehe....

Argh.... next time call before going there.... Returned empty-headed, without any helmet... DAmn Gilbert! you said it would be here on monday! And i want size small dun psycho me to get medium! grr... Hope i can get it on Wed or thursday

Anyway, had a great night last night. Sad to leave leave for the airport so early... But i think i stay in the sky train for about 4 loops while waiting for the plane to arrive.. Yeah, haven't sat in one since 5 years old? hehe... I dun frequent the airport often... But still, i wanna go new zealand or australia for some outdoor stuff... or maybe hawaii and cycle around it... damn... saving money now...

POP!!! "POP-ed" today!! hehe... Was a little worried about the threatening dark clouds passing through tekong... but we we ahead with the parade! =D the feeling was great to be in a parade! Reharsals are tiring, but hte rewards of the crowd cheering and your loved ones looking about how we you performed in it is just so satisfying!

heh.... got some photos to develop tomorrow... argh...

Going to get the pneumo and RP shades tomorrow... thats about $500 in total... argh... damn... spending again! lol.... gonna slack for a while in block leave...

MUM's coming back tomorrow!! *cheers*

Vesak day tomorrow! =D damn tired from all the stupid parades.... But sadly all the hard work of the COC people were put to waste due to rainy weather. Then i got the honour of representing the whole N coy to give some card that was beautifully designed by a sergeant to CO... =) hehe... turned out well. Got a little stressed out by the sergeants that rubbed it in...

Some conflicts again... haiz... second time... grr... i wonder how many more will we have till POP?

check out the price of pneumo at HL: $210!! wah!! it's mine! =D going down there on sat after POP, then maybe go for nature ride then.... to the airport to pick up mom! hope she brings back lots of goodies!
