new bike

i finally decided to get a new bike from a shop in simei lol, the shop was abit outta the way for me from my house but i came to find out there's a bike shop there cos my uncle drove past in his car when fetching my mom and i to simei east point or sumtin there..........

i went there before to check out the bikes la, woah to me the bikes there are quite ex la about 300 for a good and yet not so functional bike, meaning a bike with grip shift and no brake plates......and even more expensive like about 400+ for a good bike with button shift and close to 500 for one bike with button shift and metal brake plates (woah)..........to me bikes at dat prices are expensive la but to ppl like brandon those hardcore cyclists, he spends 1000+ or more on each of his bikes lol.........

ok la so i spent wad i think was worth the money i paid for it.......i bought the bike dat was retailing at $297 or sumtin like dat la.........the reason i bought it was cos it felt very heart pain to spend $200 more for another bike (at $497 ouch!!) i think now i kinda regret not buying dat bike haha cause looking at how much brandon spends on a bike sumtin like dat (of course the parts on his bike(s) are probably more high end la but still to me its the same la)...........end up i jus have the basic functions like front supension (its really smooth and i like it, never had anything like it before but more on dat later.....), the frame not dat light but dats not really a concern to me, as long as lighter than my old bike can ready hahaha......, let me see wad else? erhm grip shift which i must say looks betta than the kinda lousy grip shift on my old bike (when the grip shift on my old bike spoilt, i was quite convinced dat i would not buy a bike with grip shift ever again but oh wells dat was the onli bike dat suited my preconceived budget in my head), kinda regret it now but oh wells the money is spent and its a good bike to me, dats wad most impt i guess so i jus be content la..............i kinda wished i had bought my bike from bishan there, opposite wilfred's house there......cos i heard from nicklaus dat he bought his bike about the same price as mine but it came with button shift for the bike! and lock and whatever not (i cant remember wad else la haiz.....) i wouldnt care about anything else but its button shift! lol sian i paid a total of $305 for my bike plus a very powerful front light and a back light.......dats all lol, but its enough to pacify me from complaining haha.........

cause my bike is new everything so i cycled it to bedok a few times ready haha........my first time cycling to bedok was quite a nightmare and i think i could have gotten killed if not for God's grace.........my first time i didnt noe any pavement or anything so i jus went the onli way i knew......i jus went the way the bus would have went on the pavement at first, but after da the pavement ceased to exist........i jus had to go on the road lol......i had a super bright light and a back light so suprisingly no cars honked at me...........i jus dun understand y when i was younger, everytime i went on the road with my bike there'd be some car dat jus decides to hornat me for no apparent reason lol........i wonder y..........

anyway i was very careful cycling on the road but there are like some things dat u cant really be careful about........the problem was i didnt really look very closely at the road.......it would be foolish to stare at the road and not notice the cars (and buses) zooming by u as u go haha........i skidded off a stone (i think, i didnt turn around and look) cos i was going quite fast cause its stressing when cars have capabilities speeds so fast...........after the skid, i jus braked to prevent myself to skid anymore out but still i imagine if there was a car going near to me, and suddenly i skidded abit i might have been knocked down and i would be part of the road ready haha........but i really thank God for His providence..............

on my way back from bedok i discovered a way back home dat was free from riding on the road and all, mostly pavement, cutting thru the park and all, the onli road i need to go on technically is the road at my house there, which can be very quiet, its like i own dat road like dat.........haha i guess in time to come, before army i will be cycling around on my new bike alot........

end of this post and i dun really know wad to say.com

napfa test

well i had my napfa the second time......i booked it on wednesday, but i didnt know it would be like at 730am la...so early in the morning! and cos its a napfa test conducted by mindef or sumtin co its onli held at toa payoh stadium......

woah abit the far from my house ah........i havta wake up extra early summore........anyway on the day of the test i wanted to wake up at like 530am (cause a standard rule for me (for places far away from my home) is to wake up 2 hrs before the meeting time so that i will have enough time to do my qt and wad not as well as travel to my destination haha)........but end up i couldnt wake up cos about 5 plus hours is definitely not enough for someone who just loves to sleep (like yours truly here).........

anyway i talked to emmanuel tan (i think) a few days before my napfa test, he came back from overseas to get his enlistment stuff done, i didnt expect to be able to take the napfa test the same day and time as him lol.........

doing the napfa test with someone you know and can talk abit to is quite nice in the sense of the companionship haha............i think i scored everything A or B except 2.4 run haha.....dat was bad haha i think i should have trained up abit or mayb pushed myself...........but even though its quite disappointing at 12 mins haiz, i still managed to get a silver award.....cos i think i jus managed to get a D for my running lol, so 2 months off NS, a load off my chest la....

but i must say dat the army napfa test is more strict than skool haha, skool wann like ppl anyhow do oso can get A lol haha.....drats i shouldnt have ate dat day la if not i would have gotten gold easily ready haha........but its ok i guess cos i heard dat ppl who take their poly napfa havta retake a ns one so i should be more or less prepared...........

emmanuel got about the same as me except his pull ups couldnt pass, so sad his running quite good leh, about 10 mins 30 lol, i miss the good old sec skoool days where my timing would be dat or less i guess (i didnt really run seriously then and i got 11 mins lol......), i really miss my sec skool damai canoeing training, this is not the first time im saying this........i miss the frendships, the passion for canoeing (tho i still hav the passion now, i dun hav an outlet for regular trainings and races to look forward to anymore) as well as the thril of riding on the water, im filled with nostalgia when i think about those good old canoeing days......end up emmanuel got bronze lol so its like so wasted, cause of his pull-ups he did the whole napfa test for nothing.......anyway he will be coming back next time to take it again after his uni end or sumtin..........he went back overseas already (quite long ready at this time im typing this.......) to dunno do wad la, complete his sudies or sumtin........i think dats all for this post la, its supposed to be quite long ago haha......

pulau ubin cycling

ok i will make this a very short post.....cause it was quite long ago and all.........

well julia msged me one day ask me if i interested to go pulau ubin cycling lol....and i thot she msg the wrong person lol so i replied her dat she msged the wrong person haha....it was on thursday in the march holidays (yeah dat was how long ago....) end up after quite a few ppl called me at one go lol........haha i didnt noe i was so popular lol (or not most probably)......end up i think jasmine, charles, julia and wilfred all called me at almost the same time lol.......its like when i was having a call with one person, another person will call me and i will hold the current person and then i answer the other person's call haha...it was the first time ever i received so many calls at one time lol......quite interesting lol......

oh yeah on dat day on the trip, julia they all had arranged to meet up at bishan before making their way down to changi jetty, i thot it didnt make sense for me to go down to bishan then to changi jetty when my house is quite near to changi jetty........anyway i found out the bus number dat goes from my house to changi jetty, which is 59........so we were supposed to meet at 1030am at changi jetty........by the time i left my house after getting up and getting ready everything it was nearing 10 or mayb a few minutes later than dat.......so i msged julia dat i would be late....she didnt reply (i found out after that dat she didnt see her phone haha).........end up when the 59 bus came to my house there,

anyway i went ubin cycling with quite a few ppl i must say, lets see charles, jasmine, gillian, julia, joy, wilfred, matthias, kar wei (im suprised he went heh)........not bad i must say i had a very great time, cycling around ubin very fun and the bike dat i rented was quite a good one dat i got for half the price of wilfred and matthias's bike, they paid like $10 for their bikes probably whole day (but we all didnt use our bikes for the whole day anyway).........i really enjoyed the bonding between everyone on dat day its like its special to me la dunno y oso..........

anyway one of the highlights of the (that) day was the food there man......shiok la........cos there was so many of us so some of us ate our own zhi cha sets like fried rice and eee mee or sumtin like dat......julia, joy and i ate rice and shared 2 dishes, i think it was lemon chicken and pai gu wang (its pork ribs la, oh yeah damn funny the menu said pai gu da wang which literally translated means pork rib BIG king HAHAHA, super funny to me man.....).......then after dat wilfred ordered 2 big plates of kang kong and one big plate of pepper beef and im not sure wad else la, but i jus noe i ate until quite shiok after all the cycling.....we stopped quite early cos alot of ppl had to go back to church for children's camp meeting........and i had a.g. later on as well, i was the worship leader haha.........anyway i had a great day then after a.g. i slept immediately aftre i reached home bathe everything haha....but super fun la heh..........dats all for now......

the floorball friendly between FBFC and AB's team

heh this was a recent match and yet its not dat recent cause at least 2 weeks has passed since the match haha........

well some comments on the game la.........almost everyone in FBFC prepared alot for the upcoming match lol....wilfred came up with an official 'playbook' lol on how we should be positioned when the ball is with the keeper and when we are taking a free hit and the defending system everything lol.....serious lol.........he explained it to us like one week before the match and we practiced our plays on one saturday lol........we more or less could remember wad to do but i guess on dat day it was so much different dat we didnt really stick to our places and (i dunno about the others in my team la) i felt i was running around into places i shouldnt have run..........mayb cos halfway matthias change my position to a defender and stuff which is quite different from being a forward...........

on the actual day i think we all played very badly, ok mayb im jus speaking for myself..........i dunno about the others but i was out of position most of the time even though i scored a goal myself (but i think it wasnt a very very nice wilfred kinda goal, it was a messy goal to me la).......especially in defending i felt i was running all over the court, like running over to joel, the other defender's half and all......as a forward i felt the play-ups was very very messy, many times i could not exact out the play ups cos it was very fast paced and i think the main thing was dat they were going after the ball, jus knocking everything else in the way (which was a good tactic for pressuring sumone and causing them to make nonsense passes that fell short or went above grounder balls (which are harder to take shots immediately by the way) ...........i cant really remember much of anything ready la cos it was quite long ago and all, most of us's first time playing in a bigger 'court' than the fellowship hall haha........i think we drew each other 5 - 5 lol........dats about it from me i guess lol.......

sending mayboo and sam off.....

heh sorry everyone i haven been blogging for awhile........heh no time la, even tho im having holidays and all but floorball and other stuff has taken up alot of my time heh dat i didnt have the time to settle down to finally type this.........

i guess this will be a short post cause sending mayboo and sam off was quite long ago ready heh......i see wad i can remember la.........this is jus old news la so jus for a read if u like heh........

haha i sent mayboo and sam off all the way into the transit area, heh with my staff card that i got from my internship......dat card expired at end feb so i kept it until the very last day till i sent sam off heh..........my card allowed me to go into the arrival and departure transit area (which most of the public cannot go in), in case u didnt know.............

anway sending ppl of esp i transit is quite a funny feeling, like especially if there are quite a few ppl sending dat particular person off (like for sam and mayboo, but on the other hand not much ppl sent daryl off heh).....its like ur inside transit area waiting for the person going off to clear the customs check on their passport then after 'dat person' will look back and wave to the ppl outside heh......then of course the ppl outside wil wave back......then there i am looking at the whole scene and all its quite a funny feeling because i dunno whether to wave or not.........its super funny la haha..........i could wave back too if i wanted heh.........but mayboo told me not to wave hahaha.....damn strange heh.......but dats about all i can remember about sending them off haha......

oh yeah mayboo dat muddlehead called me one day after she left singapore, from adelaide looking for her laptop charger la, so cuckoo, i helped her inquire at the transit gate there as well as the information counter in transit but couldnt find it heh........end up i think she found it in her room mate's room or sumtin like dat, i dunno the whole story so yeah.......so long ready, dun need to ask her about it ready, at least she found her laptop charger, if not no internet at all for her! hahahaha.........dats all i guess for sending ppl off..........i returned my card the day i sent sam off heh.......so no more privileges as well, discounts in changi ariport shops as well........i thank God that He provided my colleague (who usually works late) who was still in the office after i sent sam off, if not i might havta make another trip down to changi airport jus to return my airport pass..........
