Some boring history~

This is a scene from The Messengers, a 1999 Japanese movie. I liked this particular quote from the flick, which quantifies what I feel drives many recreational cyclists to go out to ride week in and week out - "When I was very young, a bicycle is the only way to go to faraway places, and is able to go so so fast, it means freedom for a young kid, like as though nothing is impossible. I still feel that way..." This surely is the case for me... I grew up on a little tricycle. I learnt to cycle at the age of 5, and got my first big scar at the age of 7. By 8 I was spending whole afternoons exploring all the nooks and crannies of my neighbourhood, together with my next door neighbours, despite the worries of my mother. After a short break, at 15 I got my first mountain bike, a cheap heavy mass of steel tubes, then first rode at Bukit Timah off-road trail, and had never looked-back ever since... despite all the worries of my mum... ;D

Midnight maths tuition~~!

Mid-Work Week Report~

This ceramic cup is built to withstand more than 1000°C, but try bringing it straight down to earth by drowning it in cold water while red-hot and this is what happens... I've learnt that gradients are Nature's way of preventing damage to any body~~

Carrying pieces of armour steel plates in my bag to and fro my office and my NTU lab has left me with a slightly more muscular left shoulder~~

Music in my ears

The machine's bloody noisy... that facemask's trying to suffocate me... the glare from the plasma arc's getting me tanned and the labcoat's so warm... but there's always room for music in the ears under those ear mufflers~~

10.30pm, and fish are still swimming in these faintly illuminated waters... flipping leaves around to look for food... chasing each other and sometimes leaping out of the water surface even... while I sit by the lake thinking of nothing... trying~~

My Weekend...

Thanks to Huiru, Alvin, Boonchin and Weiming, for the food and nice cake~!

Many thanks to my NTU buddies... for everything~! Haha I ate 3 cakes in 2 days! Luckily I like cake yeah =)

I accidentally left home without deodorant, and actually felt naked as though I'm wearing a fishnet in place of a shirt... No it's not because I have BO or something... I just like to smell good...

Went CrunchyRoll-mad, and caught a couple of movies after the Swenson gathering... Man I'm in love with that 小雨 from Jay Chou's Secret *shy man*... Ok ok, this is one of those shows which will give me this heart-wrenching, intestines-churning feelings... I was glued to my computer for 2 hours no food no drink no distractions not even dinner! Now watching Helen the Baby Fox... with late late dinner in hand... =p

Zhng my Bike!

Zhng-ed my bike... with a new fierce white headlight just like those ah-beng Subarus and Hondas~! Except mine cost just 2 bucks and five cents from the Value$ shop at Jurong Point =D

My Weekend

Me and my D2 guys at the Rice Table... I've never had so much variety of food placed in front of me before~! There were 20 different dishes in all at the same time! Thanks guys~!

My twin midnight blooms~!

Walk the plank? Nah that'll be uncool... I'd rather ride the plank and go to the depths of biking heaven~

My Sunday Evening Snack

Little lizard out on the rocks braving the waves, snacking on little crabs... It had my attention for quite some while until I noticed I was getting toasted in the Labrador Park sunshine...~

Watching the little lizard snacking made me craving for my own snack too... Man I've been craving for roti prata and tea for weeks~!
