That's Life

Today was a good day. Went biking with Chew Zhaoying today. Borrowed his foldable Halfway bike. The bike's really called Halfway and I think it's because once you fold it it becomes half the size. Hahaha. Ok that was lame-ass.

Anyway today's 2 hour plus bike trip revived the cyclist in me. Yup I've forgotten how much I love cycling. The Halfway bike was smooth no doubt, but it didn't have like the rough and tough qualities of my old bike. (which by the way is one wheel into the scrapheap no doubt thanks to its faulty chains and rusted exterior) Even cycling across cobbled streets proved to be a challenge. And the seat was a bloody rock my ass hurt pretty bad throughout the ride.

Contrast this with Chew's 440 dollar Giant bike. Frontal suspension and snazzy gears. Which proved to be completely useless as Superman flew off his bike on the way to Jurong East. Just in case you're wondering he's all right though.

Anyway I know how much I've been talking about stuff that I want and how they never materialise. Well I need a new bike. Mountain bike with frontal/double suspension. Well to be honest I'd prefer it to be darn light but bikes like that usually cost heavy. 1K plus I think. And my budget is 300 plus. Haven't really seen any suitable candidates except one Polygon one at some shop near Bkt Timah. And it's not really in a nice colour. Red and white. Not too spiffy. Yeah probably going to go bike hunting soon.

Watched the F1 race just now. Well part of it. Watched the last few laps at home. 61 BLOODY LAPS AROUND THE SAME CIRCUIT. Full marks for creativity no doubt. Still, the cars are snazzy and well ok fine, they're cool to the max. I'm half tempted to buy an F1 car model and display it in my room.

And Alonso won hahaha. You know it's seriously a joke. All the hype about Felipe Massa being the favourite and boom he finishes 13th! Which is basically last since he's the last guy to finish (the rest all OUT) I think. No idea how he screwed up though I missed it.

All right that's all for now. FYI, I'm still waiting for people to offer to sell me their Pokemon cards.
