That day at Bukit Timah was a lesson well learnt. Follow the line and also go slow. The hills was killer. That was not what i quite expect off road to be. I thought it would be some gravels and stones and mud. Little did i know that the hills we so steep down and up. I could feel that my muscles are burning from the trip there. It was cool and fun, i love the toughness of it.

I fell and dislocated my arm; ambulance came and got me to the hospital. I was screaming like hell. No biggie , i am so glad i didnt break my bones. My left shoulder is slowly recovering. I cant hold my bow now, let alone shoot. Thoughts of me quitting Archery flooded my mind before. It wont be anytime soon. My left wrist is hurt too, from the fall ; sprained it . The wrist prevents me from gripping the string of the bow.

I have been at home, reading Manga- One Piece, Naruto, Bleach. And watching many gigs of downloaded movies and animes. Darn, i feel like a pirate. I have been eating alot less now and i dont see myself losing weight. I remember Ryan's Mum saying that people with O blood type gains weight fast but hard to lose weight. In preparation for army, i should really be running and keeping fit since i have a gold for NAFFA.

I will be attending tomorrow's First Aid course. It will be held in the morning and i need to wake up early. I hope i am able to sleep early tonight given that i have been sleeping around 6 in the morning for almost a week now.

I am a little pissed with ZhaouMu . The person who sold me the red bike - Polygon. When he sold me the bike. He told me that most of the bike parts are new and there was no need to change anything. WTH man..

After the sale of his bike, i called and sms him, i sent him my email to add me on MSN and keep incontact but he didnt even reply me a single sms. I think i got "Cheated". Sian... I really do like the bike but i do not think it is worth 480dollars. The wheelset is old although it is froma reputable brand. The frame is the older version but the thing i like is that the old frame is lighter. The thing that pisses me off is the brakes. It was worn off and it was "eating" into my rims. The cables are also a little old and i can consider changing it. WTH man.

Charles is one nice chap. I wanna learn "hopping".

Its hard for people to believe that after getting 2 bikes, i do not have money left to get the helmet and the lights.

I went down to Jaben today to get my Martini, as told by Gab it is new. I am gonna sell it at 90dollars to David tomorrow morning at Braddell .I am not sure i can even wake up that early. Sigh.. This means i got to sleep early tonight.

And dad just gave me 60dollars. That means i got 150dollars in my pocket now excluding those left in the bank. But bike stuff are so expensive, sigh..

I need a job badly..... Anyone got lobang ? No MLM please.

Cycling these few days is sure fun . I had many adventures and falls.

Just yesterday, i joined SMBF night ride. http://www.smbf.com.sg/forum/index.php

I was thinking i will be late (meeting time is at 10.30pm) therefore i rode max speed on the way to CHEERS . Actually it being my first night ride was one of the reason why i rode so fast also. Anxious ma.

Went there and found out that i am the first to reach at 10.15pm. Most ppl came after 10.30pm. They were nice people and it didnt take me long know them all. Well not all but most of them . I see myself joining them for the weekly rides, Friday especially.

Jurong East CHEERS
West Coast Mac Donalds
Vivo
Sentosa (refused entry)
Shenton Way (makan)
Road Connector ard Queensway
Holland V
Clementi Park Connector
Jurong East
Home ^^

I had a really good time and i look forward to more rides.
Ah bi and Patrick told me to get my brake pads changed. But now i got no money. Cashless. Damn sian . I need to make sure i get 10 dollars from my dad everyday. If not really cant survive.

Things i need to spend money on:

Brake Pads $30
Cat Eye front & back lights (Andy) $40
Servicing the rear brakes for GT. $20
Haircut $10
Helmet $70

Gab planned to go Tanjong Pagar to look for some parttime job. He asked me along. I will call timberland outlet at Taka and see if they need PT workers. If have good, if dun have , i will go with Gab bah. Due to the recession, times are hard.
