CRASH!

rode twice over the long weekend, and crashed both times.. LOL!

crash one at tampines bike trail:
after a whole morning of jumping tabletops and trashing through the jungle trail, we decided to go to the pinoy built unofficial thingy near the super D.. suan and jo went first and then when i tried it, pulled a little too much on the bars, got great air, landed on back wheel and manualled down for like 3 seconds, louped out, and crashed.. all suan and jo could do was get excited say that it was epic, and that they should have recorded it..

went prawning with lots of seniors as well.. paid for 2 hours and caught the most prawns i ever did.. LOL! Dickson and Geraldine kept moving around trying to catch.. sharon and clara didnt have any luck as well.. cooked all the prawns on the spot that day.. supposed to kill them with salt water before putting them in the oven, but not all of them died

crash two at pulau ubin:
dispite the painful tailbone, went to ubin with suan jo and noel.. had to stand at the back of the boat throughout the journey to ubin.. noel had 3 crashes, resulting in lots of cuts and bruises, and a nasty swollen pinkey.. i, on the other hand, smashed my foot between my pedals and a tree stump/rock on the ground that i didnt see while going quite fast in the black diamond..

saw a china woman have an epic crash right in front of the hut we were resting in.. she was going very fast down the slope and her front wheel wobbled.. flew over the bike, and then fliped 180 on her head.. luckily jojo, who just took a first aid course was there at hand..

MP/SIP? PHAH!

I'm stuck in my mp workcell now.. and its FREAKING BORING!

only day 2 and i'm thinking of ways not to come already.. need to find some form of entertainment man..

lots of rules and regulations also..

check in at latest 9am, and leave at 5.30pm,
cannot leave for more than 5 mins at a time,
cannot have sweet drinks in here,
2X 15 mins break daily, 1X 1hr lunch break,
CCTVs monitoring us,
cannot use MP3s or electronic devices,
cannot visit entertainment websites

might as well just lock us in here and push food in through a flap twice a day?

prawning

your resident sua ku (yours truly) went prawning for the first time today!

me, Delia and Dickson cycled to pasir ris farmway to have a look at dogs.. and i think i've decided on getting a West Highland Terrier as a next dog if i manage to convince my mum..

CUTE RIGHT!?!?



anyway, after the tour of puppies, we went over to another farmway to go prawning.. not really fantastic rates, and didnt have bbq. but still, enjoyable! we rented 1 rod, and 2 guys gave us theirs because they had to leave
