Posers!

Hehehe! Was going through some photo's and I realised something. Look at the photo below; Doesn't it feel like the 4 fellas were doing a fashion photo shoot or something similar? Lol! Stylo-nya!

Some New Moves

Dropped by a friend's house today to update my Nintendo Wii. After we were done updating, some went for a round on the Wii Fit.

Jh doing the Penguin


Not forgetting marts as well (Sorry for the horizontal videos, don't have an editor at home. Lol!)




Let the video's load friend; Even if it might take a while :p

Going Down Stairs

Downed my first stairs today. Lol! Was fooling around with my Hardy 3 at a basketball court near my friend's place. Then thought "What the heck, always thought that that place was a nice place to ride"

Went on to try the different staircases one by one. Ranging from roughly 5 to 8 steps (taking a wild guess). First time I biked this late. But it was fun for sure. HaHa!

No vids or pics though. Was biking alone. Was too late anyway so my shitty phone camera wouldn't have been able to take pictures anyway. Next time! :p

I love my Hardy 3.. :3

I'm Friends With A Pop Star!

Last night, a few friends and I to a drive to Genting Highlands. Wasn't really thinking of doing anything, just thought we'd take a drive up and meet with some other friends for fun. You see, the other friends had tickets to a Malaysian Artist Award show. Famous local starts were at the show, including Fish Leong (Liang Jing Rue), Michael and Victor (Guan Liang, Ping Guan; I still don't know who is who Lol!), Gary (Chao Ger), and lots more.

So, after the awards and performances was over, there was a post-award party. Like what you would expect from parties with stars; There were fences set up, guards along the walkway, fans crowding the sides shouting names of whoever was walking pass, lots of flashes from fans taking pictures, stretching out their hands hoping to shake hands.

So while some of my friends were inside the party (they had tickets), the others including me (who had no tickets), just took a stroll around Genting, drinking coffee, "bird watching" and all that crap. :p

After we were done, we went back to the party, trying to catch a peek inside to see if we could find the others. They were still taking pics and hanging around. Getting bored, we gave them a call and asked them if they were coming out soon. They were, so we thought we'd wait at the fence where the other fans was crowding around since that was the only entrance and exit. While waiting, I had the chance to a pretty close look at Fish Leong, Michael and Victor who was just leaving. Tried to reach out and shake their hand. But was out of reach. -_-"

Then a friend had an idea. Lol! A wicked light bulb was burning way way bright. So we crowded at the fence, found a good spot. And camped.

Then the friends we were waiting for inside came out. LOLOLOL!! The moment we saw them, we went "WENG YEW! WENG YEW!!" "SHAKE MY HAND!!" "WENG YEW!! AAHHH!!!" and snapped photo's non-stop. Seriously, our volume rivaled those of Fish leong's fans. Lol!

But my friend just walked straight out, too shy for all that. The funny thing was, the groupies on our left wasn't sure who Weng Yew (our friend's name) was but not wanting to lose out, they went ahead and snapped photo's anyway. Next thing you know, flashes was flying off left and right at my friend. LOLOLOL!!!!

Not only that, just as we at the fence was walking away to meet them at the end of the fenced area. We heard another bunch of groupies going "Weng Yew mut sui ar?" (translation: Who is this Weng Yew?)

LOL! One of us was laughing his arse off and started dropping tears. And when we meet up with the others, Weng Yew was covered in sweat. Lol! SUPAHSTAR-DOM!!!!

And there you have it, I have a superstar for a friend. Famous for a day. Really once in a life time feeling which I would have loved to try. LOL!!!

Unfortunately, on the way home down from Genting. He got a flat and had difficulty replacing cause his spare tire was locked (from rust) to his boot. Ended up calling some other friends to make a u-turn to rescue him. Price of being famous. Lol!!!

As a sidenote, my brakes failed me on the way down from Genting. Brake fade like a #%^*^%#*@@! Shit, definitely need to improve the braking performance of my car.

10 Years Younger

I think I have possibly found the potion of eternal youth. :p
Read on for the recipe!

Had a short basketball session last night. Went for tea as usual after that. And usually we would head home after that. However, last night seemed to make a few of us restless. Thinking of what to do, we came up with the idea of going for a game of Quake at a nearby cybercafe. Thought about it for a minute and we thought of going to Taman Mayang. So paid the bill and off we went. Reach the cybercafe, walked in to be disappointed at the lack of games and vacant computers. So we thought about it again and went to Atria and drove around looking for another cybercafe.

In between the search, it really made me feel like I was back in college or something. Lol! Definitely didn't feel like your usual Friday. Other friends who came along also said so. 4 cars driving around looking for cybercafes. Lol! Sweet old days.

Well, it might not make you younger physically. But at least it makes you feel 10 years younger in the heart! (The fact that no one was smoking in the cybercafe also helps :p)

Fruitful Day: Conclusion

For dinner my sister brought our family over to a restaurant called Canton-i located at the Lower Ground floor of The Gardens, Mid Valley shopping mall. And boy do they need improvements...

For the rest of the story, please continue on to here.

Fruitful Day: Part 2

After cycling, came home. Took a shower, went out again. Dropped by and had brunch with a fren, went to Digital Mall. Came back from Digital Mall with a big bag. Opened the bag to see what was inside, and this was what I saw. :p

Wiiiii! :p

Then take a look at my atm withdrawal receipt and this was what I saw.
"Balance: Rm8x.xx"

Lol! Can someone crown me officially broke?

Fruitful Day Indeed

Yesterday was, as the title suggests, a fruitful day indeed. Gonna break it down into parts so that it doesn't get too messy.

Woke up at 5am (YES! 5am) and I couldn't get back to sleep. I was thinking "Well! What a great way to start a day! Having lack of sleep!" But no matter, messed around the room. Packed up a little. Then next thing I know, it was time to wash up and go for the morning ride session at Shah Alam Extreme Park.

Over there I met Shafiq, Akmal, Kenji and another rider who I forgot to ask for his name. :p

First to arrive! Lol!

Kenji was the unlucky rider of the day. On his way over to the park, some idiot car driver honked him for no apparent reason and distracted Kenji long enough to not notice a boulder dead ahead and crashed.

After riding, chilling at Burger King.

Happy Customer 101

Just got back from CMS at SriMuda. Did what I went to do, changing to thinner tires for the rear. Hehehe! But somehow or rather, a sudden outburst of itch overwhelmed my thoughts and I came back with not only a Kenda Nevegal tire for the rear but also a Shimano Deore crankset. Lol!

After careful consideration, I think I will stop posting up prices from now on. CMS's prices are so affordable that it really puts other shops to shame -_-" And I don't want to be blamed should anything happen in the future. If you guys want to know the price, maybe you can drop me an email or feel free to add me on MSN instead. Hope this won't deter any readers.

As a sidenote, I got myself some fine sandpaper and went about scrubbing the T-bolt frame. Just sanded enough to make the surface slighty rough; So that the paint will be able to stick. As I always say, we'll see how it goes.

Heavy azz mofo

So, about my shopping spree yesterday. Went over to OME Cycles or also known as Getz cycles. Initially was planning to get a whole new wheelset. However, didn't really bring enough moolah to include the hubs. So ended up using the original Formula hubs from the T-bolt. Total damage was Rm500. But very nice service and explanation provided. The boss there will give you a nice and thorough explanation if you ask him.

Barely clearing the front derailleur. Dangerous I know, but will fix it on my next visit to the lbs. :)

Photobucket Also barely clearing the Spinner Enduro.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. Hehehe! Sexayhness. Panaracer Fire FR 2.4's, Dabomb "DaRim" rims, Dabomb black spokes and Hutckinson tubes.

Then today, went to FRIM. SUFFER! Lol. See, due to the tire being too fat. The front chainguide couldn't engage 1st gear. Or the chain will get raped by the tire knobs. So I had to do the whole of FRIM on the 2nd gear. Can definitely feel a stiffer setup now, most probably because of the rims. And now I'm gonna log off cause I need to recuperate.

12 bucks.. -.-"

Didn't really like the screws on my stem. So dropped by a local hardware store 2 weeks ago to find them allen key screws. 12 bucks poorer now; but looks so much sexier!

And today; Went on a "semi" shopping spree. :p
Tomorrow's pics will include Panaracer Fire FR 2.4 and Dabomb "Da Rim" rims.
