::What? Woman? Haven't left liao meh?

Ok. This is my last post before I go. *sob*

I couldn't bring my bike Swifty with me so I needed a mascot. (Something to represent me when I take stupid pictures with la)

So I decided to find a mini version. Meet Small Swifty. The one on the movingbits blog.
(Ya, I know his handlebars are different la, but try finding something on your table that isn't too big, too brittle or whatever the day before you leave Singapore.
I nearly brought my model motorcycle lor.
The other thing I considered is my thumb drive but I didn't want to lose it.)

So now, my big bike is Big Swifty and my small bike is Small Swifty.
Bye bye Big Swifty.
I will miss you.
*sob*

::Good bye all and thanks for all the fish

Bye, I'm leaving. It's been great being with you guys.

Ok, you can breathe now. I'm not going to do some pathetic publicity stunt like close down my blog or whatever.

From 26 Dec to 2 Jan, I won't be in Singapore. I'll be in Honshu, Japan getting frozen to death or whatever.

I won't be spending New Year in Singapore and probably won't be able to receive any SMSes/phone calls either.

In short, I'll be missing in action for a week.

Have a merry christmas and a happy new year.

And I hope to be able to see you guys again.

Take care, everyone. I'll miss you all.

::Hm.

Ok, one more piece of work unsubmitted. Unfortunately the deadline is over. Will try to submit it anyway.

::Wa lau eh.

What's up wif the SP website? Fucken slow sia.

How to do homework like that?

The elearning website sez:

Well, if you can't sleep, try working around midnight - quite good speeds.

Also, watch out for the release of e-Learning surveys for both staff and students on Friday.

Nabeh.

::Tickle quizzes have a bad habit of not having any html to go with them, but that's better than having screwed up html that you have to fix.

::How much is your blog worth?

My blog is worth $564.54.
How much is your blog worth?

Ahahahahahaha. So cheapo.

Enough to return me the $$$ spent on my bike and still can buy one cheapo Urata bike and some other assorted rubbish.

Hmmm...actually I do not really promote my blog much. In fact, I keep its existence unknown to many pple I know.
Cuz I like my privacy mah!
If everyone you knew read your blog, what fun would there be in blogging anymore?
Anyway, I don't like people around me knowing that much about my life.
Defeats purpose of having blog huh?
Um...that's just me, I guess.

Hm...
the muscles didn't ache today....I was surprised.
Esp. cause it hurt like hell last night. But 1 nap later (I woke up at 2am), the pain was almost gone.
Today, its like nothing happened at all.
I didn't even get to use my salonpas.
??
Weird.
Considering my muscles hurt more when I jogged in bishan park one day.

::"charen" ECP

Me, my bike and some other assorted people (ok la, Sis and Gwen) 'charen' (challenge) park connector to ecp today. (Um, I think I'm supposed to be doing project hor? hehe)

Finally we reached ecp! As in really! (Ok, we would have got there the last time, but a certain somebody was put off by the fact that the rest of the park connector was still under construction, this time round, without that somebody, we took an alternate route) Anyway, we didn't have much choice cause we wanted to have lunch at macs and no one knew of any other place around ecp where we could have a cheapo lunch.

Had lunch at macs. The person there was really blur. She mixed up everything that could be mixed up. We ordered a medium coke and a medium orange juice, a mcspicy burger and a mcchicken burger.

First, she gave me a mcspicy meal. Then, she mistook the mcchicken burger for guess what? MCNUGGET meal? Then, she thought we wanted Sprite and Coke. We ended up with a mcchicken burger, a mcspicy burger, regular orange juice, and my sis had to make do with Sprite. At least we got a mccafe voucher for our pains.

While in macs, I noticed: Cannondale is giving away a $2000 bike! All you need to do is answer some shit easy question! WOOHOOO!! I'm still agonising about whether to sms my answer to them or not and allow my number to be added to some huge advertising database. Hey, but if it's Cannondale, why not? Anyway, their ads will be wasted on me cause (i) I have no money (ii) I am the kind of person who will only replace components when they spoil.

On our way back, my bike ran over its first (already dead) roadkill. It was a totally flattened feathery thing (dead bird lah) at the side of the road. I only saw it when my wheel was almost on it. Then I couldn't move out to avoid it cause I was on the road. Fortunately, it didn't fly up and slap me on the face. GROSS!!!!

Then at the last park connector bit, we passed these two guys with gloves and other bike stuff pushing bikes (a grey 2006 GT Avalanche (I think) and another bike that I didn't notice, also chio) out from the HDB flats. And I thought, wow chio bikes.
Then, according to my sis, when I passed them, they said "Wow! GT!"

Then they proceeded to follow me on their bikes for the rest of the park connector bit. You know how I know they were following? Cause we opened up a big big space for them to pass and guess what they didn't. And they were following pretty close some more, duh, how not to find out.

And they weren't even wanting to follow me anyway. They were following my bike, and I was on it, therefore they were following me, but their intention was not to follow me, it was to follow my bike.

(Next to my bike, I feel so insignificant. My presence is negated.)

Then they overtook us (which was fucking easy cause we were still in what the hell mode), stopped at the foot of the little hill thingy at the end and pushed their bikes up to the traffic light. Gwen didn't want to cross with them cause she didn't want us and our bikes to look 'pok' beside them (told you you should ride your Gary Fisher, then they will be like "Wow! GT!", then "WOW!!! GARY FISHER!!! 0_0") Then I was like, ah, whatever la, and rode up the hill to the traffic light. (Pok then pok lor. I am proud of my pok-ness! I am wearing like $7 market shorts! I have no chio high tech bike gear! I am ah beng techno-loving bike uncle/bangla-in-training! Heh.)

So, I dismounted behind them and the first question they asked me was:

"Is that your bike?"

WTF? Does it not look like my bike? Duh of course!

Very hard to believe hor?
Kid around the neighbourhood who just go happy happy casual ride with friends cannot have chio bike meh?
Only cheong cheong rider can have chio bike meh?
Then I fated to ride falling-to-bits Urata and nothing else arh?
Siao!

Then they asked me how much it cost. So I told them I couldn't remember. Cause I really couldn't remember. (For those curious people, now I remember I got it for $460 cause I'm familiar with the shop, and besides, they're clearing the 2005 bikes, and now I get free spokes and stuff when I go there :D)

Anyway, they found out I got it this year and my sis told them that it was a present from someone. (It is lah.)

Even after we went in different directions, they were still looking at my bike.

Um,
Chio bike does not mean hardcore rider.
Might just mean that the owner is more materialistic.

Also,
Somehow GT bikes seem to make people excited.
Even my bike, which is kind of like an entry-level bike anyways (but good enough for me!)
Cannot even bring it to coffeeshop without it getting at least one 'that kind of look' from passers-bys.
One of the reasons that I don't like to take it out so often.

Um, how bout Specialized then? Klein? Trek?
Or those road bike things?
The wonderfully magnesium Pinarello Dogma?
Will they like hyperventilate then?

::AAAAAARRRRGGGHH MY LECTURERS ARE CRAZY!!!!!!

Ok, I have this thing where we don't need to go to school for one week, so we need to stay at home learning stuff through the internet.

Well, so they think that since we have two weeks of holiday now, they can give us alot alot of work, and then tests right after.

Problem is, I'm going to Japan for the entire holiday week. Never mind, I still have self study week right?

WRONG!!!! You guys gave me so much projects that I'll probably spend the entire self study week doing them and not be able to study.

Yes, I have two tests the day after I come back from Japan. And now, I can't even spend self-study week studying for the tests.

I think I'll give up and not study for the damn tests anymore.

YOU LECTURERS ARE FUCKING NUTS!!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO WORK US TO DEATH??!!!!

I FUCKING GET SICK LIKE ONCE EVERY MONTH ALREADY FROM THE STRESS AND NOW THIS?

::How do you do

How do you do, do you do, the things that
you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do!
Did it ever make sense to you to say Bye
Bye Bye?

- Cascada, How do you do

Mmm. Nice song.

::10 things I hate about you

About a certain somebody who probably doesn't come here.

1) How much you stink. I don't mind people with B.O., but I mind it when people use some weird perfume or something and spray so much of it that I *gasp* *choke* *wheeze* can smell it all the fucking time, then keep hanging around me.

2) How you keep hanging around me trying to be nice to me not because you actually like me, but so that you can pretend that you're not a weirdo and someone actually wants to associate with you.

3) How you bugged everyone in the class (including me) nonstop with your IMs and phone calls and now the whole class is scared of you and nickamed you "virus".

4) How you asked us if you could join our group for project and we said ok cause we didn't want to be mean, then during discussions you won't contribute and are so uninvolved that it makes no difference whether you're there or not. It's irritating, especially when the project is a big one and the deadline is coming.

5) How when you ask me about something you don't know, you just stare at me with a "I don't know how to do it! Show me exactly how to do it!" expression on your face, refuse to use your own brain, and expect me to do all the thinking for you. Then I get all bitchy towards you cause I really can't stand people with that kind of attitude.

6) How you laugh and smile to yourself for no reason. It's just creepy. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I start wondering what kind of things you are plotting against me?

7) This is a minor point, but your clothes are tight and really bright-coloured.

8) How you ask people about everything the moment you're supposed to do something on your own, and need so much help until the poor person (me) beside you can't finish her own work unless she acts like a bitch and gets pissed at you so you'll shut up.

9) How you got pissed when I wanted to make friends with someone else, like I was your personal friend or something, which was why I stopped being your friend in the first place.

10) How I'm still supposed to be okay towards you so that people won't think I'm a bitch.

Yeah I'm a bitch, but some people are just argh.

::Wanted: One spacer

(making a website)

Me: I think I'll need a spacer.

Sis: What's a spacer?

Me: Something to stop the table from collapsing.

Sis: Shouldn't that be legs?
