ENR back in action...

ENR means Eastern Night Rider...
It's a training part of Trifam. These people love life... Pushing themselve to limits which some people feel unbearable. Beyond threshold... And these people are ones i look upon.

Last night, it happened to be the poorest of attendance, only 7 people turn up for training. Blessing though to have the faster people not around. It's like taking a day off...

Still the pace is hot and slightly unbearable. We did flats, averaging 37km/h. Drafting trucks brought us to 41-42km/h and head wind brought us down to 35-36km/h.
After 50 mins of high intensity of thigh wacking brutality, we covered 2 sets of coastals, a total of 30+ km... There was still a great sense of achievement.

To top that off as the icing on the cake, a 30 mins medium intensity run was put through it's paces from bedok jetty carpark to VJC. Heart rate was 180... The feeling was good, nice pace, plenty of cool wind which makes striding pretty effortless. Running pass all the "hai sien lo" really makes me wanna stop to have some food!

We ended the day by chilling at scruffy murphy."phew, hungry la" Normally we will just park our bikes on the side wall parallel to the coastline. This time round, a new comer indian waiter refused the norm. Infact, the group are regulars of the place, and such a treatment seems pretty unbearable. His tone in refusing was totally unacceptable. Our friend nearly picked up a fight with the waiter, and I can see why. His bike cost him 5 grand, and he was very much concerned about it's security.

Blue line = Cycling Speed
Red line = Heart Rate
Look like some ECG chart! haha!

Interestingly humiliating! =)

surpriseeee!!

Just had short walk back from my neighbourhood coffeeshop, open up my mailbox... Ruffling through the mails that will seldom be mine. Although I am still anticipating the birkenstock which I ordered a week ago, I know it will not arrive so soon.
A closer examination of the letters brought me an unexpected surprise! I found a postcard addressed to me!!! I felt this uneasiness with chinese characters stamped (航空 par avion). Apparently, have never received a postcard from China. At the instance, I flushed known possibilities of identifying who the sender is, who can only be one!
Cheryl! My entrepreneurship "buddy"!! Orite! SHOCK AH!! really! SHOCK! Miss the ol times! Hope you are having great times in China and come back with a chinky accent! aww! Thanks for the postcard if you are reading this! I believed you have visited all the places in the picture. They are magnificent!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back track abit... Days ago, I went to a petrol kiosk at east coast and found something very interesting! There is actually a doggy bakery here! Dog in singapore are really fortunate! Especially if it's lucky enough to find itself a rich home.

I think ill get flamed for this. I feel due to the "slower pace of life in the east(ESP east coast)" compared to anyother region of singapore, people here are generally nicer and a little bit more friendly! Service in many places in the east is quite good I feel! People talk, communicate starting with a good morning, and end with a thank you even you have little interest in buying their products.

Top right pict! SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT FRANKEL AVE! You see policemen! Seems quite serious! =(
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bottom left! Some of you might know where this place is. It's some place in Singapore orite! Bukit Timah! Yes, Beautiful granite hill! Isn't she beautiful! Sad to say, there is only a couple of such tall granite hills around here!


This place is quite magical, especially when you are with somebody you like. I was extremely fortunate to be there with a "special" friend. Albeit the moment was short, the feeling is just surreal.

Through the small opening that leads you into the magical land, it just seems so fairytale like. People get dwarved by the awesome beauty of mother nature. =))

Here for some publicity, If by any chance you know young couples who is having their first child very soon. I am promoting motherhood magazine subscription. Please look out for me okay!!
Thanks!!!!!!

oil crude dipping... but...

Prices of brent crude is falling but they see no urgency for petrol giants to adjust...

Government is doing nothing about it! Especially after the elections, where have they gone?!!

I estimated for a normal sedan. Moving 1 kilometer will be a cost of 20 cents. Excluding cost of ownership!

Bring us back to ice age, next time we cycle to our destination, and our economy will fall!

running season is here!

I like the 2nd half of the year, it's filled with competitive raced! To name some, osim tri, milk run, ahm, mizuno wave, nike real, NB run and the finale, Stand chart full marathon!
Imagine each run is a progressive build up for the next. Singapore sports council never have planned it better! This year, just for a change, I WILL do all the runs! Earliest charity run is the "milk run". It clashes with the internation event, the osim triathlon. Osim tri will be entertaining to watch.

Professional from all over the world made this singapore stop a much covetted one. Singapore triathlon can be seen one of the easiest incomparison with it's neighouring counterparts, because the only place you can hold it is East coast park, which only have flats~ No hills to play mind games with you, and little skill required for negotiation. The race will eventually boils down to who has the bull strength to complete.

Oh dear, I think i am boring non exercise freaks, ya man! GSS(great singapore sale) is around the corner. Shopping will be an addiction in times to come. Or infact, PRE GSS sale has begun. Many places in town have slash their prices, calling it a clearing of season sale. If there is time to save money, it isn't now!! I am a victim of the GSS onslaught. I love a big bank book, but ultimately can't resist the temptation with the help of a devil's persuasion! You know who you are! You made me spend almost 200 on a pair of jeans! LIVE SI NORAHS! <-- da vinci style! Yes, speaking behalf of the devil, I urge all of you to go shop while there is still size for you! Sales are often oxymorons, they can mean good and bad! Good is only it have your size, bad when the sales assistant say "sorry, outta stock". In turn, you will find substitutes that who wouldn't want to own in the first place!

I have something about flowers recently. Not that I will love being a gardener, I like sun flowersThose big big yellow blossoms, the size of a palm! Through experience, It's actually quite hard to find fresh sun flowers from your florist nearby. One way is either you grow it yourself from good seeds, or ask your florist to specially bring in some for you. Hey don't mistaken a guy's liking for flowers as gaynesS! My "namely" clone hundreds of years ago probably love sunflowers too! Hmm, i probably like cactus as well! =X

Vincent Van GogH =) http://www.vangoghgallery.com/painting/sunflowerindex.html

oh... vincent is not gay~

Have been playing tennis quite often with my magician friend, fortunately, he wasn't able to do anything special to balls and racquets, except for his poker cards. HAHA! Anyway I am actually not allowed to take the pict of the 3 standing racquets. It's the males changing room =). It took me some skill just to take it unnoticed!

Michael looks extremely happy with his new air charger! Sorry I got to cut out his body. No free show! yes he is hunky! =)~~ msn me if you will like to know him!

Life is getting slow.. Need spice!! I leave you with boring pictures again!

Tough to be alive... Month of may and june~

First, I would like to congratulate all mothers a happy mothers' day! Mothers has all the compassion and love far greater than dads can give. Not money we are talking about, money is not = to love!! Mommy nearly melted when I present her a pressie this morning... She totally loves it!!Then I felt the unconditional love! =) Got her some roses too!... eh not some! a dozen! =)

The month of may has been filled with a series of bursting fun...

JB Trip

Feel rich as the exchange rates favour us! Buying a slice a cake $5.30 RM don't require a second thought. KTV the whole morning for just $5RM with lunch and a drink. Experience dangerous high speed go karting never to be found on our soil.

Car's 8888.8 Trip meter's Celebration

Yep, 8888.8 for us chinese is a very auspicious number! It means striking rich! Chinese like us are all $_$ money face!! We see money we smile! Therefore, this car trip meter reading means alot to us.

Ping Ting's Bday

Yep! This gal is now 21! Congrats! Freedom yay! I hope all of us had made her day then! The celebration was a success due to her wonderful group of friends!!

Professor Dan's Treat

Mr Daniel! He is the hippest and coolest professor in our aerospace faculty! Super generous and caring... Once again, he brought us to another ang mo coolspot! Brewerks! Although initially he made it clear we are to pay for our own beer, he ended up paying everything.

Zhng my ride

As yall know! The car has hit it's commemorative distance! And to show my love for it, I had bought it a lovely Carbon Charger. It is said to improve the low end torque of the engine. Some test runs at night had shown that the Charger works!! It produces a lovely growl when the engine is revved moderately!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have still 3 more things on my list I wish to do!
KL
I am so glad that Vic is organising a self drive trip to KL for the KL motorshow, happening on the 29th May, Monday. Tentatively, there are only 4 persons going up in 3 cars!! wth! So if you wish to go, and wish to lighten our fuel expenses, we are happy to bring you along! Just let me know!
It will be a 2 days 1 night trip according to him... Day highlights is the motorshow, Night highlights is ZOUK KL~ =) With ample time to do some shopping!! YAYE!!
Cycling
It has been awhile since the enduring experience of cycling in peninsular malaysia. Heavy headwinds, hot weather and bad roads made the experience extremely challenging! Best part is when you can keep up with the ang mohs! Anyway their bikes are super beefy, probably $10k of high quality parts! So if you can keep up with them in you $1k bike, kudos to ya!
Tahan
Yay!! To replace to cancelled getaway to thailand, Tahan was the next best alternative! I just received confirmation that I will be able to join NTU ODAC on this exciting journey! This will probably set my pace for my endurance training. I will need to have a shift of focus; instead of running long D with fuel belts, ill have to do it with ankle weights and bagpacks. On this mountain climbing adventure, it's still my very first. I wish to learn alot from this, especially from the people who are organising the trip. happpy!

Life after exams is pretty exciting. I love the 2nd semester's holidays.. Unlike the first, I was in school trying to complete my minor! AWWW!! Try to live as much now, before you find it too late to achieve anything!! Soon it will be the 2nd year, and a short time before we graduate. =) so happy to be alive ya?

To everyone enjoying their holidays now!! Happy holidays n play hard! To People taking special sem, study hard and enjoy the coming weeks!

Ill leave ya with my boring pictures of the past 3 weeks! =) take care!


























For those who bothered to scroll down, I want to say a big thank yoU!
And I tell you peeps what I want for my birthday!!
They are Zipps 404's clinchers... Carbon wheels with aerodynamic dimples!
I do the mathes for you. If 100 people were to share the pressie, each will have to fork out 20 bucks!! Isn't that affordable!!
=) And if you dare to forget my bday, it's on the 19th dec!... THANKS!!

master of imagery~

Fun fun! AS3 glider group!
Look at our poor plane, it broke.. we have to use our spare plane instead!
Code name "tiny" it flies like a projectile... on the top left hand corner!


Upgrading the car sound system again...
This time the interconnects, it gives the system a faster delivery of signal with the new low capacitance wires...

Belden's 89207 has been a great audiophile choice of DIY home brew cables... At 9 dollars a metre... It's one of the most expensive cables out there...
Musics sounds better with just this tweak and I am very happy with the performance!
