Ride, Ride Your Bike

Suddenly I feel I owe lots of people credir after reading my comments. Some are claiming royalties for my previous blog title 'Future Billionaire on Board'. Well, thank you Michelle. You know how they say whatever people talk about, no matter how untrue it might sound there is a little truth to it. Wen Ni is already asking for a share of that. And as for Boat (for those of you who don't know boat is Ying Roe), it's not dedicated to you. I will make one in memory of you if you sink.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Few interesting things has happened in the last few days. First, update about my bike. It's complete! After 5 years of anxious waiting. I started cycling when I was 4. I had those little mountain bikes that weighed a ton. Dad never got me another bike though it was obvious I could not right that little thing anymore. By the way the bike's name was Mountain Lion. Thank to a guy named Win Han whom I met at tuition I started cycling again. It was a very sad scene really. Win and his friends would cycle and the only way for me to keep up was to run or roller blade. I found up my neighbour had an exra bike so I started borrowing it till my parents got mad. They thought it was cycling was too dangerous. I didn't think so though. I only cycled along the LDP, the SS2 town, TTDI town and around those housing areas around Damansara. Those were the days od the Kampung Boys (we called ourselves that). Carefree and we could live with almost, nothing. We would go to a mamak which sold nasi lemak 10 cents cheaper than others. We would spend our days cycling to bike shops checkign out bikes, cycling up and down the Kiara hill, visiting people and going to the cyber cafe.

I really wanted a bike of my own and after begging and pleading with my dad he finally got me one! It was a Lerun bike which cost 700. Please don't buy a RM700 bike cause it is throwing your money into a piece of crap. I only got to use it for a while. A motorbike hit me and busted my fork and rims. Could not cycle at all. Cost me RM 120 to fix it but when you're 13, that's big money. Busted it again when I didn't see a hole in the road near Sri Pentas. It was dark, I didn't have a light and some moron stole a steel bar from the drain cover thing which caused my front wheel to dive into and I hit the road chest first. I was bleeding all over. I got up, picked up my bike and went to Sri Pentas. I asked the guard if I could use a toilet and he sent me off though I was all covered in blood. Gosh those people are savage.

Just imagine a guy walking around 1 Utama with a blood drenched clothes. That's how I was like. I bought the CDRs I was there for, washed up and cycled home.

I sold of my bike and got my dad to buy me another bike. It was a Hammer bike. Very light for a RM 500 bike and started going off road with that. Won my first race with that thing. I liked the bike but it wasn't good enough for me so I kept upgrading it since I was form 2 till I got what I have now.

Da

Heya blog. Has many people been reading you? Well, I've been doing math for almost 2 days straight and realised today I forgot alot about chemistry. I am hyperactive. I can't seem to focus on my work. I take an extremely long time to do something that should be done in a fraction of the time I took. Will work on focusing my attention again. There was once an old guy who taught my class and he asked this question to my class. Fortunately my class had already prepared the correct answer which did spoil the fun a little. It goes, you have a gun with 4 bullets. Kill me. Obviously most of us would shoot the head, then the heart, then his balls and toes probably. Well, focus attention would be shooting him 4 times on the head. Focused on one spot, one thing. Need to do that.

Damn. Cheerleading is taking its toll on me again. I use to enjoy it but things have become quite stressful. Trying to put my worries aside and enjoy what I do wait for the results in a few months.

Few interesting things that happpened the last few days in the order or coolest to least. Sabrina bought me dinner. I rolled over Wen Ni's toe with my car. I got my RST fork (bike part) back from the shop.

Be back later phone call.

The Mighty New Year!

Well, it's new year's day. Based on the clocks at home I am 7 minutes off but what the heck. I'm always late anyway. It's been my resolution for the past 4 years but every year I improve! I'm now only 7 minutes late. Was 7 minutes late to church this morning and I'm 7 minutes late of New Year's day. It's sad though that after 4 years I've still not learnt how to be punctual.

I decided to have a quiet new years this year. I imagined someone coming over cooking pasta and watching tv till midnight but well I ended up at Sau Ken's house in Ampang. Gosh it was a 45 minute drive via the middle ring road but I got there alright. Watched the fireworks at another friend's apartment in Wangsa Maju and could see the fireworks all around KL. It was so not gempak. I meant the fireworks. I got up in the morn and went to church, hung out with Ying at Friendster cafe. She bought me lunch. Yum.

Will have more tomorrow lost my words.
