damn. 2day's my sway day lah. lol. oh well. what to do, life's like that. can't help but just get it over with. (:
first off, when i was maintaining my bike, it was all going well, until i tried to remove my front wheel. it freaking gave me such a hard time lah. anyway, my Wethepeople Everlast fork's bent. so much for its name uh? haha. i wanted to realign my front wheel as it was a little to the side. and i was using the small wrench as i didn't have a cross spanner. the screwdriver that i used broke cleanly. snap. i was like OMG WTF!?!? ~!@#$%^& lol. i gave up and put my bike back where it was and returned to the comp.
the rain had stopped so we went out to ride. riding wasn't that bad. we had Han Wei, Ivan and Ian with us. i managed to pull off a 360 floater to half barspin. i almost did a full one but didn't manage to catch it. i also almost did a manual to barspin. lol. gotta work on those. those are fun. i also did a tail tap off a curb and hopped back up the curb. and also a g-turn straight to a slider out. and Danny's backward manual to manual thingy. cool stuff lah. x) so i progressed a lot today.
proceeded to stadium to ride after that. Danny and Sean came. after awhile of riding, just when i was turning, my front tire went "BOOM" all of a sudden. then i went OMG WTF!?!?! again.
here's a pic of how badly the tire got torn up.
it was really damn loud lah. everyone there got a shock. and there was smoke coming out too. lmao. oh well. its just my luck. then i rang yang ee up and asked him if he had spares tubes or tires. he didn't have tubes but had a tire. so we just went over to his place. Han Wei proceeded home. fixed up my front wheel. used a Haro tire. zzz... and just used his friend's tube. i'm going down to Tiong Hin tmr to get a new tire and stock up on tubes. dammit. i need cash badly. i have yet to pay for my CPF back to Humble House. a lot sia. shit lah. i'm strapped of cash. someone save me. :/
anyway i think i'm gonna be importing a Sunday Night fork, an Attila frontload stem and a titanium spindle for my cranks. i'm seriously gonna cut down some more weight on my bike. i need knee gaskets and shin pads too. i don't know if i can afford them but i need to get them to save my own legs from becoming too bruised and battered. it simply sucks lah. i guess thats all lah.
ciao.

woohoo! Han Wei's profile and my profile are up on the Scary Bikes site on the Flow Team!
woke up at 10.30am in the morning, super drowsy and all. still so tired lah. haha. was going to Republic Polytechnic with, Yi Hao, Caroline and her classmates. i was late. x) haha. oh well. took bus 168 to RP which is located in the Woodlands and was it was so boring in the bus. lol. well kinda. it was difficult trying to find our was to RP and we managed to get there eventually. haha. went in and saw quite a number of people. and food! i was so darn hungry as i hadn't eaten anything yet! they gave some goodie bags and free ice-cream vouchers! then we went to redeem the ice-cream vouchers straight away. lol. the queue was damn long lah i tell you. haha. anyway RP isn't really very huge lah. ok only. seemed small to me though. after walking around for awhile, we went to the food court to eat. $2.50 and it made me quite full. not bad. haha. after that, we left and the girls wanted to go to Causeway point so we followed. then they wanted to go to TM so we followed too. ended up doing nothing. walking around was so boring man i tell you. x) haha. a few of us then went home and as usual, i got my bike out and rode.
Jonathan [Namo], Chun Hao and Adrian was there. lol. when i came, Adrian had to leave and he did a disaster to barspin to fakie on this rail. lol. and then left. Namo was causing public nuisance by trying the rail over and over again. he kept missing. i did it a few times. instead of grinding the rail, i double tired stalled the ledge which was even harder to aim at. lol. twice! wth? no link lah. moved on soon when we saw the police coming. went to sp2. Wan was there with his motorbike. haha. Namo tried 180 off sp2 and almost pulled it off. he killed himself on a footjam tailwhip. he fell onto his frame. lol. Chun Hao and i then went to bowl to meet Han Wei. Nizam was there alone. after slacking for awhile, i went to contine learning tailwhips. now the bike lands beside me. i've learnt how to kick and swing properly but i can't seem to get back into the frame. gotta work on that now. Luke came and he 360'ed into the bowl and got eaten up. lmao. Nizam and i were laughing away. Farhan came later and they were playing with a remote controlled aeroplane! so cool sia. haha. i also wanna play! x)
then came the bad news. Hamtie said her bag got stolen. wtf? how in the world? then Han Wei ran around trying to find but to no avail. Chun Hao and i went to Long John Silver's to eat and then Joshua met us and we went to ride Tampines. played horse with Sean and Moses' group. lol. fun leh. i went till quite far. not bad not bad. haha. then played bike wrestling. lol. damn funny sia. they're a fun group lah. then the few of us went to Mr Prata to eat. after that, we went to 180 Square and saw their group there again. ahaha. they were playing some funny game lah. we joined in soon. they were flipping a bottle and making it stand on its base. if it did, it means 5 push-ups to the next person. if the next person manages to do it too, then it also passes on. damn funny lah i tell you. haha. had a lot of fun. ended up finishing the game at 5am. i got 50 push-ups and 50 sit ups. lol. no kick lah. x) went home and slept and woke up at like 3.30pm just now. HAHA.

reached home at around 5am yesterday. was stuck in some void deck with yang ee yesterday and i rode a whole lot of undergrounding. lol. before that i was slacking with han wei, yang ee and jonathan [namo] till han wei and namo went home. it was quite a fun, mellow session lah. haha. trying some funny stuff and relaxing and slacking. talking cock singing song. x)
after that yang ee and i went to some prata shop to eat. we were hungry people. lol. and then off to session void decks. thats when the undergrounding session began. there was this cat that was sticking to us like glue lah. at first it was fun. then the cat got irritating when it kept following us when we wanted to do tricks. i had to carry it out of the way like a million times and it always came back without fail. lol. dumb kitty. oh yea, by the way, it was a black cat.
played with the kitty for awhile and then started riding. many pics and vids since we were bored. x)
there's the kitty
kitty hop! [don't worry, it's a camera trick. i'm not actually hopping over the kitty.]
i've had this happen 5 or 6 times throughout the night. and trust me. it SUCKS. grrr. my jeans kept getting stuck in the sprocket even though its 25T. this caused my already injured wrist to become in an even worse condition. swollen now. T.T
180 to half cab, alley oop 180 back up
one of many manual to 180 attempts. i managed to pull off 4 in that night. i had easily 10 attempts which looked exactly like this. hahaha.
yang ee's feeble stalls

LOL. x) tmr we're gonna go hunting for more! haha. met with tammy and eileen and the other girls by accident. namo saw them. and i had to treat tammy to her mcflurry i promised her. that made me "broke"r than i already was. xD oh well. sat and chatted for awhile and we were off to namo's house to play mat hoffman's pro bmx 2. lol. did crazy stuff and that inspired us to go ride!
all of us went to get our bikes, call out the riders and ride. i decided to wear paddings today. i didn't wanna get hurt. lol. and uncomfortable as it might be, i endured with it. did tricks fearlessly cos i knew i had protection on. lol. but damn sucky lah. no freedom of movement. i soon took my pads off an continued playing. haha. i landed a new trick today! x-up to 180. omg i'm so happy. lol. been trying that trick for quite a while now. and i pulled it off twice today! had a photo taking session at toto land and took quite a few nice pics. enjoy! :D

omg. i'm wrecking myself up. i've been riding these few days and somehow, some way, i keep injuring myself. first off, i've got that freaking old wrist injury that just won't heal. damn. and now it hurts like heck again. secondly, two days ago, i was trying to 180 over a lying bin and screwed up on it. the result was a gashed leg and quite badly sprained ankle. today, it felt much better so i went riding. who knows, both the pedal and the peg hit my gashed wound. it hurt like hell. i sat there enduring the fucking pain. lol. sorry that i flared up guys. things just weren't going my way today. it totally sucked. first things first. i lost my 360 air. what the fuck? i didn't even have any flow to go with. secondly, my leg hurt like hell. as badly as i wanted to ride, i couldn't push myself. arghh. you know the feeling. i somehow injured my hip not long after. i dunno how. the pain just came all of a sudden. -.-
anyway, i'm going for some interview as a packer. 12 hours, $60 bucks. not bad eh? haha. anyway, tmr! Sentosa with SF! yay! :D

i've been far too lazy. i've decided that i should blog more frequently like i used to again. lol. riding till the wee hours of the morning kills you and makes you go silly. x) lol. oh well, i've been riding the past few days and returning home at like 3-5am. my parents are kinda unhappy bout that. they say i don't get enough rest and i'm harming my own body. well i guess they have a point. i feel fatigued almost everyday except when i'm riding. lol. and i need to find a job. damn. i need money. my stash is running severly low! reccommendations anyone! i need regular working hours! lol. i should probably start calling companies or so which have ads on the newspapers for vacancies. lol. and i'm confused about whether the monsoon season is already over or not quite yet. its been raining on and off everyday and we can't ride in peace. like we're riding halfway and we feel some raindrops and we go "omg! raining! take shelter!" and rush to the nearest void deck and end up riding the void deck. lol. oh well. i shall end here. i don't really know what to blog about today since i spent the whole day lazing at home. lol.
