OCBC Cycling

Friday, March 5th, 2010

I never thought it will take me so long to post again. But I guess the last post mysteriously disappear kinda pissed me off.

During my disappearing act, things are starting to look good for me, in almost every area of my life. My aim now is to maintain and improved on it.

Also, during this time, I got myself a mountain bike, only to realize that MTB seems to be less popular now, with majority going for road or hybrid bikes. With the OCBC Cycling event coming up this Sun, I can see myself crawling through the crowd.

It’s about 17 years since I did any form of cycling, and I can feel my muscles are all not quite use to it. They have been complaining ever since the 2 fam ride I did. So doing 20km this Sun is going to be one heck of a challenge. What with I guess almost everyone on the bigger road wheels and I’m on my small MTB wheels. But that’s life, it’s never fair and it depends on how you overcome it.

So wish me good luck, I’ll need it.

Mighty stupid me

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Time to go back to work, time to face reality. Funny that the word came from me. Hahaha…and it’s not like I’ve been living in fantasy. Ok, enough of this reality and fantasy talk, just brings nothing but sadness.

I went out and did something crazy last Fri before the new year. I spent $39 on a new bike. Ok, not exactly, that was the cash portion, I had around $560 of vouchers which I used every last bit of it. Than I blow $90 today on a Biologic iPhone mount which is waterproof, shockproof but not walletproof :p I think I have been a jerk for spending all those money (voucher or not) on these. I needed it for a upcoming cycling event, but I could have borrowed or rented, but this selfish prick just went out and spent. What’s next? A mantatory helmet, a comfortable padded tights, headlight, rearlight, pump, bottle holder, small saddle bag, tools, the list goes on. Not sure what shit hole I am getting myself into but it sure looks deep.

And boy I am guilty. So guilty I feel like poking myself with something sharp to wake my b*%%#^ brain up so that I will not do stupid things again. Arrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!
