Im back!!!

Yes finally back from the torturous 16 days in Brunei. Apart from the getting the JCC badge, i also gotten a well spread of stings all over my body..

Was very very very disappointed with my bike project. the deal of the deity bar and stem didn't work out. Seller in the end sold the stuff to another guy! Also found a set of saint crank, however its reserved till next Tues. Think the chances of getting the crank is super slim. Still trying very hard to find a fork for the bike. Haiz..

Anyway next sat is my "god grand daughter's" 21th Bday! looking forward for this class gathering..

Bye guys

okok time now is 2248.. still at home... will be away for 16 days, back on 28th April.

Went down to visit my juniors in their training, saw them doing their 5k TT.
Damn! really missed poly life.. trainings, skip lecture, go Wilson's lab disturb his lab mates. Weekend work at Ritz Carlton, argue with the bitches, chiong OT, chao keng anything anywhere.

Looking at my current circle of friends seems to be much smaller. Recently went to Ritz Carlton gathering to celebrate for 2 of them who are enlisting. Ended up going home earlier as cant find much topic to chat with them.. Nowadays my weekend is just staying at home.. staring at my little brother playing GUNZ, sister watching some Korean series.

My current fitness also no even close to my poly time (although my fitness wasn't anywhere even when I'm in the team haha!). Although i will most probably slimming down after coming back from Brunei = physical fitness will definitely plunge even more, haiz how to get GOLD like that...

Gotten the appointment of CPC aka Cadet Platoon Commander. Should roughly know what is it liao ba.. haiz how i can control my shagged plt after the outfield.. Also heard that i gotten appointed as PC, platoon commander for platoon battle course. Haiz i foresee this Brunei trip will be a step closer to my grave.. Be sure to come for my funeral.. haha!

Sram 9.0SL Shifter and Rear De

Yes yes! another item purchased to zhng my oncoming street bike! It WHITE again!!! wahaha Just to get these stuffs , wasted my whole morning. I travelled all the way down to Bukit Batok just to know that the seller is still sleeping. So to be more efficient, i went to watch 'Mr Bean Holiday' yeah alone again... Cant wait for the seller pass Mr Teo the bar and stem next week.

Fork and crank left

Magura brake and Alex wheelset

Can you guys see the brake? hope it didn't blend with the white background... haha!!! yes! its my white magura.. Its quite rare to get this white edition. Most common are red, green and yellow. This is the 2nd time i saw this edition.

Previously when i saw it, they are fixed on a DDG snow camo designed DDG street bike, selling for $800.. with XT parts.. but my greediness had cost me to lose the deal. now have to spend ard $1000 to build.

Guess how much i got this wheelset..? Alex DX32 rims, Quando TX disc hubs, maxxis tires and cogset. Well.. i got it for $90.. didn't expect it to come with the tires and cogset. Save me time, effort and money to get them.

Meetup with the guy at Jurong Point at 6pm while i booked out at 4pm.. So i ended up catching 'shooter' alone. Imagine me wearing long sleeve and black pants walking along Jurong Point and sitting in the MRT with this wheelset.

Had more or less confirm the deal on the Deity bar and stem. Most prob, he will be meeting Mr Teo to pass him the stuff next week while I'm away for Brunei. So whats left? fork, shifters, front & rear de, crank.

delighted and excited

Pro Term: Week 15

This week went for the funeral of my granduncle. Very surprise to see many elders there, mostly his neighbour. ever wonder when i pass away will i have such numbers of neighbours or good friend to attend my funeral.

It almost the tenth month I'm been in army. felt that my circle of friends has shrink dramatic. Maybe most of my friend came from Ritz Carlton and tp tri team. Even book out i would prefer not to meet any army friends. Wondering why? imagine seeing the same people for 5 days straight, going thought all the shit stuffs only book out days still meeting up with them? neh~

This week we are entitled to a long weekend aka LWE. suppose to enjoy our good Friday, Saturday's off and Sunday's book out. however, for the fact that I'm unable to secure a gold for my IPPT, i got to book in at 2230 on Friday, IPPT retest on Saturday morning (got silver again!) lastly date with wing comd again on Sunday at Yio Chu Kang.

Got my snow white magura this weekend. Looking forward for the Deity handlebar and stem, also Alex DX32 wheelset.

Lastly going to Brunei next Wednesday, 11pm.. sian~ 16days in Brunei, 9days of JCC.

Brunei here i come

Pro Term: Week 14

Yes! another week closer to my Brunei and my JCC badge.

Most of the highlights of the week have been posted. Maybe posted something more on my personal life.

Saturday, my grand-uncle, grandfather's elder brother passed away. Remember the last time i saw him was the previous week just before i book in camp. Still 'healthy' looking at that point of time. However, my mom told me that the cancer had already badly terrorised his stomach.

Being fortunate to born in a family whereby we are close to most of the relatives. Although as time goes by, everyone started to move out and the only time for us to really meet up is the elders birthdays and Chinese New Year.

These few recent year, i had witness a few relatives passed away, taken away by cancer diseases. They are my grandfather (mother side) and one of my uncle's wife. Lucky most of my elder relatives still living strong, can see them walking around and exchanging decent conversation with me. Only exception is my grandmother (also mother side) still is currently suffered from stroke and diabetic.

Meet THE JUDGE

Yes! finally got my first freeride frame which is also one of my dream frame since I'm in sec sch. Identiti, The Judge. Also got a new saddle today, Tioga which is black and white in colour. Freaking longer than my forearm, really take an big ass to sit on it.

Guess you all would already know what colour and riding theme i wanna build for this ride.. Most prob will be receiving my pure white magura brakes next week. cant wait to see the final setup of this bike.

Date with Wing Comd

Due to the fact that i didn't got my IPPT Gold, a few of us are specially chosen to undergo training with our wing comd. 0730 at Yio Chu Kang stadium is really a plunge of our morale especially on our book out day. However, after the session, things does not look so bad.

Sets that we did.
Warm up

• 2 round stadium
• 20x push up and sit up

2.4km run specific training set

• 6x400m with 1:20 pace with 1:1 rest time
• Overall splits are 1st n 2nd lap 1:20, 3rd and 4th lap 1:25, 5th and last lap 1:28.
• Damn shag after the workout

SBJ specific training set

• hopping using ankle x100
• squats x 20 counts of 4
• SBJ hop x 3
• Hop up steps

Well does if sound familiar to Pekya's training? YES IT IS!!! could say that is a miniature of pekya's 2hr session

Felt that i had seen the good side of our wing comd. Sacrificing his Sunday time to training with us youngster, sharing his old-school but somehow still practical knowledge with us. Felt the sudden chill of his fatherly love like once i felt from pekya (motherly love of course).

Lastly some brief description of our wing comd. 40+ guy whom looked like 50+. Heavy smoker since his cadet time (can you believe he is still alive, all the anti smoking ads seems to be unreal!). His sharing or chatting session can last up to hours. Always come out with morale dropping suggestions!

Miss training
