Extreme Kite-Flying!

;D
When the conditions change and you find it hard to continue flying the kite with your hands and the reel, why not try flying it with a fishing rod? Or your feet? Or tie it to a bicycle and ride around? Dare to change, because the wind is never still... (Yet Again Another Wise Rant by the bLuReD?!?!)

Comfort? Zone?

When the hunger pangs strike in the late nights, or whenever I need a good boost during times of need, this is what I can reliably turn to... 4 toasty warm pieces of buttered bread generously sprinkled with sugar... My comfort food... works better than any chicken soup, apart from dear mum's soups of course...

Another glorious sunset... this time seen from NTU... providing such warm reprieve from the Arctic temperatures within the tutorial rooms where all my fellow warriors are... golden rays of inspiration amidst the confused swirls of clouds and clear blue sky...

Night ride number 270307...

Along the Chinese Gardens lake... ~Pretty lights~ I love being near water bodies, be it a lake or the beach. I love the refreshing, rejuvenating feeling that one can get when being so near so much water. I love the smells, be it the fresh scent of the freshwater lake, or the salty bouquet of the sea. I love the sounds of water and waves. I love the sights, the beauty, the majesty and the calmness...

Gecko in the light.

Land of Magic in the distance~ Quite far... So far... Too far...

Let's start climbing!

The weather and the sun is too good for me not to get out... and cycle... and cycle... and cycle...
The next few weeks leading to exams will be hectic... I'm so sure of that... Good time to start shifting up those brain gears (~left jammed in low gear for such long time~!) and start on the climb up to the summit... Same applies to all you people my friends~ =) !

What you'll get with 3 women in the house, and after a few days of not sweeping the floor... can start a wig factory soon wahahaha =p!

Mt. Faber at 3am

Mount Faber, 3am early Saturday morning... beautiful hill-top night-time scenery, so refreshing breeze of cool midnight air, calming smells of flowers, leaves and grass... while plugged into my music player, with my favourite song, 静茹's 明天的微笑 playing... ~so nice~ this can heal anything...

After the climb up Mt. Faber, I felt I deserved this... Anyway I couldn't resist not stopping for a teh halia and prata when going past this 24hr prata shop along Tanjong Pagar =p Night ride, nice music, nice drink and nice food... ~totally nice~

WANTED: Wanted for disturbing all the couples on Mt. Faber with asthmatic coughing and riding past them on a creaky bike while making "WooOoo" sounds on the downhill.

Hop on lah! Empty ley!

Hop on lah! The bus is empty! What's wrong with this old bus? Why squeeze in the new other bus when this bus is empty?

You can work so hard to get a kite up flying, but sometimes it is still out of one's mortal control to keep it up there... (With References to Blog Post on 12 March 2007)

Pedal On.

Upper Seletar Reservoir, a picture of tranquility. Really...
Life's not unlike my weekend trail rides... made up of steep inclines and long climbs testing resolve and endurance... long sweeping downslopes that are always so fun and steep dangerous declines that threaten to knock me off balance... along the way littered with rocks and roots and logs poised to halt forward progress... but from the trip there are always somethings sweet to savour... be it a photo scenic moment or the adrenalin from clearing a tough section or jokes and funny moments with friends... just need to get over spills and falls and pick up and start pedaling again... and pedal on... because the experience is worth it. (Yet Yet Another Wise Rant from the bLuReD...)

My shoulders and arms are so sun-burnt... So itchy and painful... Can't lie on my side... Ouch ouch...

To Peace. And back.

"If saltwater is a disinfectant that can be used to clean up wounds. then the sea breeze would be a cleansing agent for the soul..." (Yet another wise rant from the bLuReD...)

Enjoying the sea breeze on a gently humming bumboat, alongside good friends, towards the island where gravity seems to cease working and the body seems so much lighter...

Peaceful. Definitely. Really....

Magic Junction

I hate going to town alone. It's like a magical land... where one's relative insignificance seems to be magnified, along with this amplified sense of chilly loneliness... not unlike what a puppy abandoned at a busy junction would feel...

I'm Mr. AV Guy!

Sad Turtle. Fish. Fly Kite.

Haha! Quite true...! Link: Sherman's Lagoon

Just in! Fish has a new song! It is called 礼物... Listen here!

"Kites never belonged to the sky. They are just made to ride on wind currents. Which is why they are at the mercy of the elements and also the string which bounds it to the ground where they truly belong. If the string gets too tight, the kite will break loose and drift away into the far unknown lands and out of any control. That is why one should never over-pressure the string. Release when necessary. Fly on high."
(Wise Rant from the bLuReD)

Back riding the mountain again!

After a couple weeks of no trail riding due to rain and the need to live a student's life, all while risking losing my soul amidst the stacks of papers and raindrops, here I am back rolling around among the trees and mud atop my beautiful chunk of metal tubes and rubber again... I'm so relieved to find Kel Loke back yeah!

Me doing a cheeky self-video of me doing a small wheelly off a small drop on a downslope... Nothing spectacular hahas...
My fav lil' loop now has "Live Firing Area" signboards at its entrance and exit... after "No Cycling" signs been erected maybe 5 weeks ago? Hmm... but today weekend... no gunshots heard... so I went in anyway =p.

Shit.

TL. Angry. Disgusting. Never again.

Past couple of daze...

A green leaf stuck in the window? No lah... it's a green 'leaf' with six legs and two long antennae on much closer inspection...

'God' mode with a square halo... ~very nice...~ wahaha!

A Saturday...

Picture from Straits Times, 3 March 2007.
Loving tiger (cub), happy monkey (baby orang utan)... cute...

The sun finally showed his face after hiding under clouds for the whole day... just before he knocked off for the day...

My little jogging route!

My favourite running route, measures only 2810 meters using Google Earth... Never seemed like only 2.8kms when actually running it...!

Missing...

Where has my appetite gone? Come back ley...
