went home at around 11.30 pm last night after i got my new frame and fixed my headset. sucky headset. zzz. needa get it fixed up. its creaky and so not the smoothest thing. and my frame got a patch of the paint job scratched out from it. fuckin lousy paint job. grr.

was almost late for school today. chiong to school on my new ride. reached school tired. and the school day passed. bla bla bla. now part of the band for talent time. kinda cool. drums are fun. x) psyched. lol. after school. cycled to pasir ris interchange to fix up my ez link. stupid magnetic thingy. always spoiling. grr. on the way to interchange, i heard some fucked up hai sing kids commenting on my frame. if i'm not wrong, they said nice frame bla bla bla. sacarstic comments. i was to tired to even do anything so i "ren" them. chee bye. if i had the energy i'd do a bunnyhop barspin in their bitch ass faces. RAHH! fuck those kids man. the next time i see them in school, they'd better watch their backs. who knows what i might do to them. wedgie? *grins* :D anyway, after i fixed up my ez link card, cycled home really slowly. too tired. on the way, my wallet fell out of my back pocket. luckily it hit my foot while falling and i picked it back up. after awhile later, i was reaching home and realised that my wallet had fucking dropped again. this time, without me knowing. FUCK. this is the 2nd time i have lost my wallet in jus 1 month. dammit dammit dammit. grrr. and and and. i looked down at my bars to realise that there was fucking bird crap on it. argh! how bad could my day get? hope it doesn't get any worse from now on.



weee. 2day's session rocked man! spent the whole day riding bedok. leon, jeremy and me met at tamp mart at 11.30 am. went to s11 and i ate lunch. half pipe was after that. we somehow felt so lethargic and strengthless. no mood to play. wen bin came and met us. leon went to buy some coffee to try and perk himself up while jeremy bought red bull to do so. while they were away. i was bored and decided to try unnatural 180s on the half pipe. i came close on the first few tries. i started land them after awhile. :D yeah! unnatural 180s! lol. leon was utterly surprised when he saw me do them. joshua came to join us awhile later. i was trying to figure out how those american riders did their rollbacks up the ramp to tailwhips. couldn't make any sense outta it. they're just plain sick. i can't even do the bunnyhop part. much less the whip. x)

joshua and wen bin went for food after we slacked and we went to bowl. once again, there was only us there. weee. leon and i started firing off our 360s. i decided to try and launch unnatural 180 into the bowl. i pulled it off on 2nd try. :D psyched! i also did unnatural 180 disasters. jeremy was trying to double peg stall. he was still a little afraid of falling but we keep psychoing him to try. x) lols. leon was trying fufanus at the quarters. he pulled one off the coping. sweet. then he also did a 180 tail tap x-up and dropped in nicely. cool. jeremy was soon able to almost double peg stall. almost! soon after, he did it! lol. hamtie came. meow surprisingly came too! samsidi was there and he fucking tried a flair into the bowl and went down hard. he was wearing a full face helmet though so it wasn't too bad. lol. his front wheel slanted and badly out of alignment. lol. wan was there doing his clicked turndowns, fufanus, random combos and 180 disaster barspin. something i've been dreaming to do but didn't have the guts too. i was almost getting the flow of tailwhips. :D didn't have the guts to receive the frame or get back on the pedals though. lol. scary bodoh. then i wanted to play a fool. kicked out a no-footed can can and i somehow instinctively got back onto the pedals. when i landed, i was like "omg wtf!? did i just do that?" lol. shocked sia. han wei & kelwin came after that. i almost landed a footjam and then drop back into the ramp. i landed it 1 footed though. couldn't get back onto the pedal in time. went for dinner. wen bin was suddenly able to do 180s and rollback! cool! lol. he's gonna pull it off sooner or later.

simon wanted to ride bedok so he went to bowl. met him there and he was already chainless. -.- brought him to r & r just in time before it closed. hard time trying to find spare links for his chain. he bought a new one in the end. and realised he had a puncture cos of glass bits at the bowl. fixed it up and went to ride again. han wei was doing sit down rollbacks to slider off. smth new he learnt. lol. kelwin saw me do disaster to fakie and asked me how to do it. i showed it to him a few times, explained a little and soon enough, he landed it! nice! lol. everyone learnt smth new 2day. very nice. :D progression!

RIDE ON BROS! YEAH!!



wth. Keith McElhinney pulled the world's first ever front flip flair at the recent dew tour 2006 vert comp in denver. he named the trick the "lawn dart".

check it out here



i, tan zhen yao, vow to study hard from now on. i will not slack in class or whilst doing my work anymore. i will do my work and juggle my time with riding so as not to miss out on anything at all. i will manage my time properly and not be wasting any time and to make full use of each and every second.

i will smack myself upside down if i don't study hard. :D


anyways, some dumb kid's parent's complained to the MOE, without even tell the principal to be excused or whatsoever that our mock exams are held on saturday which most of us do not have much of a problem with. now its changed to mondays and fridays after school. its so like wtf lah. after school. wth. waste time only sia. i'd rather like have it on a saturday. freaking idiot. arr. smack whoever complained. u messed up my timing. x)

anyways, i got full marks for my chinese o lvl listening comprehension held yesterday! weee. :DDD
but i guess i would have to retake the written paper 1 and 2 though. i think i flunked them. x)



wtf. i've been getting so sick lately. die lar. dying alr. lols. that time i had throat inflammation. till now haven't fully recover. been getting fevers every few days. zzz. then lack of slp. and the fact that i just freaking nose bled the night before for no apparent reason freaked me out. i stood up from my chair and suddenly blood was uncontrollably streaming down my nose. -.- wtf. lol. i've made a point to get adequate rest now. no more super duper late nights unless i took an afternoon nap or smth. slp more slp more! :D


Sunday, July 09, 2006 - study?
was supposed to go study with hamtie. i was nevertheless late again. lol. sorry hamtie! went for lunch at long john's. it was raining. so went so some random void deck near tamp central after lunch to study. around half an hour into studying, hamtie fell asleep reading some chinese book. lol. then i went over to poke her awake. :P not long after, she fell asleep again. hahaha. left her to sleep this time round. i was getting hungry soon after and i need some warm food considering the fact that i was wearing shorts and the rain kept being blown in by the wind. -.- went to get korean ramen at the century square food court. ahhh. warm food. lol. after we finished eating, hamtie was digging through her bag and she suddenly plopped this koala soft toy into the bowl of remaining soup and i fished it out laughing hysterically. lol. i was in a fit of laughter. the way she just randomly plopped the thing into the soup. wahaha. after that, i sent her home and headed home myself.

Saturday, July 08, 2006 - wooo! ride!
after the dreaded mock exams, i was really in the mood to ride. i flunked my a maths paper, not knowing how to do more than half the questions in there. lol. social studies was relatively easier considering i did not study and was able to do some of it. x)
on to the riding. met hamtie and jeremy at tamp mrt and went for lunch at s-11. headed to bedok half pipe after that. wen bin and his friends joined us after that. meow came soon after. after some warm up at the half pipe, we went to the bowl. yay. 1st thing when we reached there. i told meow. 360 360! and we both 360'ed in successfully. lol. i somehow overshot and launched deep into the bowl. luckily i didn't crash in there. joshua came by later which surprised me. then leon came too. and then han wei and kel win came. and then shane. lol. wow. big crowd riding. after that, we went to half pipe. i sent hamtie home after awhile more. went back to hear that leon lost his handphone. it was stolen. wtf. spent some time trying to figure stuff out. but no avail. met simon at half pipe. he was the one who wanted to buy the fly hub lock nut. chionged to F&B to eat fried rice, hoping it was still open. luckily it was. :D at around 10 plus. sessioned at sp for the rest of the night. end of a tiring day.



shit. i don't seem to have the urge to study. fuck it. i need to. i seriously need to start. a 2 year syllabus to be revised in like 2 months? wtf? i regret not starting and pacing myself. how dumb. and now i see myself in such deep shit. -.- i don't know if i can even finish up the syllabus. hopefully i will be abe to. i'm starting to feel stress that i haven't felt in like... ok. more like stress that i have never ever felt before. now it spells D.I.E right in front of me. cham lar cham lar. someone help me in studies pls. help is greatly appreciated. ESPECIALLY IN MATHS! OMG. A MATHS. lol. dang.

i guess i gotta ride less and study more now. just 2 months. and i can ride hardcore again. :D

wasn't feelin well yesterday morning. took some panadol and went to school as per normal. after playin soccer during pe, i felt so much much better. lol. after school, i so felt like riding. but i felt a lil feverish. i just decided to go anyway. lol. went to say oon and han wei got his brakes fixed. omg. they felt soo like.. arrrr. so nice to press. lol. so easy to brake. power sia. say oon uncle lives up to his reputation. :D lols. anyway, we went to bedok after that. sessioned at the half pipe. that was when i was beginning to feel sick. despite that, i managed to pull off some brakeless tail taps and nearly landed some manuals. hehe. x) proceeded to bowl after that but went off a lil while later cos there were too many ppl there. went to explore in the big canal beside bedok resevoir but came out soon after as there wasn't much to it to riding. lol. went back to tamp and the rest of us slacked outside tamp stadium as chun hao and han wei went to chun hao's place to do smth. not sure what though. sounds fishy. :X lol. by this time, i felt both hot and cold and totally weak and sick. -.- i was like dying there while waiting for the 2 to return while leon was chionging at his tricks. lol. siao kia. went to F&B to eat. i was totally gong. jonathan asked me if he could take some of my fried rice and i said yes unknowingly and he took it without me even seeing. then after that when he told me, i was like huh? got meh? when u take de? LOL. hahahaha. wtf. went to sp with them after dinner and watched them play. jonathan and group were also there sessioning. there was someone all of us hated there though. sucker. u know who u are. anyway, han wei was trying 360s off sp. -.- lol. not long after, they wanted to go to sp2 and i decided to go home as i wasn't really in condition to ride. too sick to be doing so.
