Last Burst of Fire....

I am feeling very tired.... I feel that I am losing the fire inside me... As much as I know that this is the time to give my last burst of fire to reach the finishing line, I can't seem to find that fire...

Can I just walk to the finishing line? Am I allowed to walk? Will I reach the finishing line if I walk?

I am looking forward to going back to work. I know its not gonna be as fun as going to school... But after spending 3 years on tight budget and near empty bank accounts... what more fun is there in going to school? I want my financial freedom again...

Sianz.....

The years thunder by.
The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience.
Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.
Where, then, lies the answer?
In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?
- Sterling Haden, Voyage, 1976

Thank you Excos!!!

I actually wanted to wait for the photos to come in from Shirlene before I blog about this but looking at the way it is, I doubt I'm going to get the photos anytime soon so I better blog first. Shirlene I want the photos~!!!! =P

I wanna thank my SRC Excos and Ying (she'll kill be if I forgot to put her name) for giving me a surprise birthday celebration. It was a really belated one but its the thoughts that count. Really appreciate the deliciously sinful chocolate cake and the big Ang Bao from all of them. They really caught me by surprise this time round and Ben was so excited to see that I am finally showing some form of emotion. And Ying was equally excited to see that I flustered abit... haha... Okie lah, you all win... =P

Thank you everyone for the effort~! :)))

Will update with photos once I get my hands on them... 032

Powerbronze Windshield

Finally got my Powerbronze Windshield after 10 weeks of waiting... the stupid bike shop promised me 4 weeks... and delayed it until 10 weeks... sian... luckily its a really good windshield. At least worth the effort of waiting, though it can be frustrating.
My new windshield~!

Happy Chinese New Year~!

Happy Chinese New Year to all~! May you all have a prosperous and lucky year ahead!
CNY is a time for catching up with relatives and friends. No longer looking forward to collecting Ang Baos since the amount is getting pathetic... No one gives adults Ang Baos anymore... =( Most of them are looking forward to me giving Ang Baos instead... wait long long... =P
Managed to catch up with my cousin Sean, who has been studying in Australia for the last 5 years and has not been back to Singapore for the last 2 years plus. Still looks the same.. haha...
The cousins... =)
The family... =)
Also went to visit Agnes's friend. He has got a really cute daughter name Natalie. Very intelligent for a 17 months old baby... =)
Nice friends and nice house... =)

Happy Birthday to Myself~!

Happy Birthday to myself~! One year older.. entering the mid-twenties... I think as we grow older, birthdays just don't seem to be as exciting anymore. Nonetheless, I do appreciate all the Facebook, Friendster, MSN and SMS birthday well-wishes from my friends. Its heartwarming enough to know that there are people out there who remember my birthday and bother to take the effort to send me a message... Thank you everyone~!

I am not a fan of big birthday parties. Just a simple dinner with loved ones is enjoyable enough for me... Dinner was at The Black Angus... a steakhouse at Tanglin area. Agnes knows that I love steaks and specially went to search for places that offers great steak. She finally decided on The Black Angus, label as the place that offers the No. 1 American Steaks~!
The place was nice. The steak I had was the best I've ever had in my life so far. Cannot really remember the name of the dish, neither did I take any photos of it cuz I was busy savouring the wonderful steak.... hehehe...
And just as I thought we're done with dinner and ready to leave, Agnes surprises me with a birthday cake! It was a Chocolate Fudge cake and I tell you, its super duper sinful~!!! The cake itself was already rich with chocolate and filled with chocolate fudge. To top it off, it even comes with a cup of hot chocolate fudge for us to pour over the ice-cream and cake.... yum yum... now looking at the photo, I can still remember how it taste like.... *slurps*
Birthday Boy with the birthday cake.... :)
Thank you for the wonderful dinner~!


*********************
Went to school for lesson and got a little surprise from Jing and Dionne. Thanx for the birthday cake~! :)))

Malacca Day Trip

Went on a short day trip to Malacca on Saturday. 2 Hayabusa and 1 Super 4. Met up at Tuas Checkpoint at 10am and I was late.. hehe...
First stop, GP Petronas to top up the petrol.... Grab some drinks, go toilet and we are ready to move off... My first long ride on the North-South Highway. The distance to Malacca is about 180km.
Gears on. Dear wearing the full-face helmet I just bought for her.. Nothing fantastic or expensive. Its just an average helmet. Will get a good one for her next time when I got money. Initially she wanted to wear her open face helmet, but I think its really dangerous to be riding on the NSHW with anything less than a full face helmet. That should be the minimum requirement when riding in the Malaysia...
Everyone getting ready to go. Whisk's busa will be the lead bike. Firstly, because he knows the way. Secondly, his HID headlight is damn irritating and he will blind us all if he rides behind us, especially at night on the pitch black NSHW... =P
Next stop, Pagoh... about 50km ++ before Malacca.... After riding 100km ++, my balls really hurts... butt cramp, legs cramp, hands numb... wah, its a terrible feeling.... And I also concluded something... Singaporean drivers are the most screwed up drivers you can find on the NSHW... Stupid Singaporean drivers think driving at 140km/h on the NSHW is very fast. Just because you are driving way above the speed limit doesn't mean that you are very fast... kaoz... At least those Msian drivers know that they are slow and will always move to the left lane and let us pass.. I noticed that not a single singapore cars move to the left and let us pass... -___-"""
Agnes and Me... :)
Sian... almost reach Malacca then it rained.... -__-""
Finally get to eat our dinner...
On our way back... can see that dear is super tired... surprising, I still felt quite energetic... Maybe because I was constantly riding, got things to do. Dear has nothing to do for the whole journey, so she was sleeping behind me all the way... yes.... sleeping behind while I was riding at 160-180km/h..... *faint*
Finally reach GP Petronas... Whisk, James and Apple were too hungry.. buay tahan already so just buy Nasi Lemak and eat outside the petrol station... haha...

Can't sleep....

Damn... its freaking 4am and I simply cannot get to sleep... Have been tossing around in bed since 2 am.. must be the coffee I drank at Kulai just now... sianz...071Worst of all, I have morning lesson in about 4 hours time~!!!

Anyway, I went to Kulai for Dim Sum with Whisk and James just now. It was my first time to Kulai, so its pretty fun. Didn't really go fast... just a leisure ride to Kulai and back. The Dim Sum was not bad. There were 5 of us and we ate quite a bit and its only 84RM.... I think that's pretty cheap for 5 person... haha...

Next up would be Melaka day trip this Saturday.... I'm thinking that I should get a fullface helmet for Agnes... Somehow I just feel very uncomfortable for her to go to the trip with me on a open face helmet. The basic gears would be full face helmet, armoured jacket, jeans and boots... The least she should have would be a fullface helmet. Hmmm... probably gonna check out some helmets tomorrow.... I can't really afford a good and expensive one for now... probably have to settle for a simple one... Let's hope I get a good deal... =P

Damn, this is the 3rd night I'm sleeping without aircon and its getting quite irritating... I'm not a spoiled brat who needs to sleep in aircon room... its just that my home condition makes sleeping without aircon quite terrible. We have to close all windows when we sleep and that makes the whole room super stuffy.... even with the fan blasting, its simply circulating the hot and warm air that is stuck in the room... that's why I am sweating now and probably that's why I still can't get to sleep.... haiz...

Okie lah, enough of craps... Gonna try sleeping again.... 092

The weekend...

25 Jan '08, Friday
Dinner treat from Agnes~! She got her bonus and gave me a dinner treat at Sakae Sushi... yum yum... been a long time since I ate my favourite sushi and sashimi... hehe... Thanx dear~!
Went on to watch The Mist... The show is average, but as usual, it did not pass Agnes's test... She has high expectation for movies... hehe... I must agree that the way the movie end is kinda senseless.... But one thing we both agree on is that the woman in the show that keep preaching about God is freaking irritating and deserve the shot she got in the head... opps I'm revealing too much... watch it yourself~! =P
26 Jan '08, Saturday
It was Hady's big day as he is finally getting married. Hady was one of my colleagues back in BMTC and I'm honoured that he remembered me and invited me to his wedding dinner. Congratulation Hady~! Ceying was there too and it was nice to do some catching up with him.

Met up with Agnes after she finished her one full day of shopping with her colleague and we decided to go to Geylang Yong He for the soya beancurd.... It was heavy with traffic as usual... luckily we were on Miss Busa and we managed to keep moving consistently... though not without some sweat... Miss Busa is a hot babe to handle~! 014

We went up and down the whole stretch of Geylang but simply cannot find Yong He... I remembered quite well where the shop was, but when we reach there, its no longer the same shop... We went around to explore and finally found Yong He at Lor 27A.... It has shifted about a month ago.... -___-"""
Luckily the beancurd is still as nice and delicious as before... so all that sweat and frustrations were not in vain...
Okie, so for those of you who can't find Yong He and thought it has closed down.... Good news... its new location is at the end of Lor 27A... Happy eating~! :)

27 Jan '08, Sunday
My club had a ride up north for some nice seafood, but I was unable to join them cuz I gotta work.. Nonetheless, I still met up with them and ride with them up to GP before U-turning back at 312C... Enjoy the wind and get some petrol... :)
Sunday morning is great to ride in... Perfect weather, good road condition, perfect visibility and no other vehicles on the road while on my way towards Southbound R&R... and that was the perfect opportunity for me to break my psychological barrier... And I finally broke it today~! I finally went pass that 200km/h mark and clocked 220km/h on Miss Busa~! Okie lah, 220km/h is probably nothing much for most Busa riders out there, since there are plenty of them who can easily clock 300-340km/h.... But it was a great deal for me cuz I've always been unable to break that 200km/h mark... always hovering at 180 to 190...

Now I finally understand why they say this beast is built for speed.... at 220km/h, it felt extremely stable... as if the bike is sucked onto the road surface... If not because the balls is already in my throat, the bike can easily go faster... Not too bad.. a good start... but that's not something I am gonna do frequently since I do not see the need to go that fast.... yet.
