::Rivet heads.

Going cycling tomorrow with cycling kaki Gwen. Everyone else somehow ran away. Bikes and prata. Nutritious.

I think I'm probably the only person who plans cycling trips around food. Wait, there's NUS bike to bite. I'm not the only one. Ha. Ha.

Well anyway, my poor bike, his front brake spoiled. The rivet came loose. So I rode it to the bike shop to see if there was anything they could do about it cause obviously I can't tighten it right? And they said nah, you just pull out the rivet and tie the parts together with something.

Wah lau eh, that I also can think of. So I went home and had a nap. Many events (such as dinner, unsuccessful attempts to do homework) later, just before I was going to bed, I pulled out the rivet with a pair of pliers and went around looking for something to tie it together with. And I found (ta-daah!) a cable tie (the skinny skinny kind, not the kind I have hanging from my pencilbox). So I tied the parts together with the cable tie. Unfortunately, the brakes seemed to be a bit at a funny angle (it's hard to describe here what I mean but if you see it, you will understand). So I thought, should I adjust it huh? Better test the brakes first. So I tested them and there seemed to be no problem, yeah the bike can stop, so shouldn't be a problem. So I just ignored it. Hopefully it won't cock up.

All will be revealed tomorrow. Anyway, if it does cock up, I can use my other bike. Anyway, I know the location of most bike shops within the area.

See, SATan's bike has turned into a junk heap (assuming that it wasn't a junk heap in the first place). But that's cause SATan is stingy. Ahahahahaha.
