Yesterdae:
Went to e beach with Josh, Vincent, Wei Juan n Samuel..
we all went there juz to get a tan but for me.. i tried to hide
in e shade..have been too ne-waa to do anything..Patrick
called n asked me to collect e frame ard 8...but we had bbq
til like 8 guess wat bbq was on of e lifeguard watchtower
platform..hmmm...lifeguard all chao keng..next adjourned
to e bike shop..Josh said he knew e way but he got it mixed
up wif another shop lucky my eyes were sharp n saw e shop's
signboard..we didnt go to e wrong one...after tt we headed to
Josh house coz he said he got something to give me n i was
feeling lazy(actually supposed to go cycling wif my fren..) Josh
poured out all tis extra bike stuff ..hhmmm i took platform
pedals..a mud guard ..arrghh..too long anyway den after
slacking for a while we headed to Tiong Hin to buy some stuff..i
wanted a chain breaker n a bottom bracket extractor n Josh a
chain breaker n a chain..E bike uncle told ,e tt e Giant frame had
an integrated headset n so required an adapter so i had to call
Patrick to get e adapter from him..n guess wat e adapter was
half chipped coz e bicycle uncle no skill..hehe~ anyway we chatte
for a while n Josh expressed his need for a stem n e guy had an
extra so he btrought all his extra stuff down..namely..clippless s
hoes..azonic handlebar..n e kore stem took al of them..me took e
shoe n e handlebar cfoz e shoe fitted like a glove n e handlebar w
as wat i wanted..but very pai seh to take his stuff..but he said its ok
all extra no use..Stayed over at Josh place..Josh spent e nite repairing
his bike n we watched..
Todae
Went to bike shop to install headset cup n bottom brakcet..uncle said e bottom
bracketsize n e one from my trek different wil look ugly..one side longer..went home
after tt...stripped e bike in 1 hour..was clueless on fixing up e headset n taking out e
cranks..went back to e shop..went back had problems wif e headset crown face.
.went to e shop near my place in desparation..he gladly obliged which was weird..
fixed up most of e bike already..except e cranks coz e bottom bracket of different
size..my bottom bracket will come out of e housing n coz one side of e cranks to be
wider..Looks like a trial bike now...small size no seatpost...

Hmmm all these are Dirt Jump frames which are mostly used for
Dual Slalom or Bike Super Cross(BSX) n Urban Assualt..noe supercross??..i
ts similar...course full of humps n berms..riders have to fly over e humps n
skid their way out of e berms n swithcbacks..see who gets first..n of course
pulling off stunts on their way like no handers or tabletops..Urban Assualt is
like going thru obstacles in an urban area..like flying over fences..jumping
on to benches..Wheelie-ing down e stairs..blahz..anything u can think of..
very cool..especially in videos n when captured in pics..Wana try maybe
becoz of e influence of e magazine i read..Mountain biking uk..where all
these are very hot..Dont wanna risk my life for all these tho..i dont wanna
grow old with nails or plates in my body like my bro..He's crazy over soccer
n me??..cycling??..Off-road cycling..to be exact..always weight e risk b4
going to Bukit Timah trails or doing silly things..Cross country needs a
light bike.. n dirtjump nfreeride need heavy onez..so how?? Plunge
hard earned money into buying them?? To be or not to be????...very
confused whether to risk injury for my hobby..seen many get injuried..
broken collar..broken legs..
Welcome to my World of Norco..hehe~ finally
found e pics to my fave models except 1..drool
like e shiny black finsh n e little block at e end.. e triple crown fork
wahzz..so cool
Same for this one
Check out e big block of yellow n small one with e sign n
how small it is..
White frame...wahzz...have an inclination towards white frames
This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
This is my Father’s world, dreaming, I see His face.
I ope my eyes, and in glad surprise cry, “The Lord is in this place.”
This is my Father’s world, from the shining courts above,
The Beloved One, His Only Son,
Came-a pledge of deathless love.
This is my Father’s world, should my heart be ever sad?
The lord is King-let the heavens ring. God reigns-let the earth be glad.
This is my Father’s world. Now closer to Heaven bound,
For dear to God is the earth Christ trod.
No place but is holy ground.
This is my Father’s world. I walk a desert lone.
In a bush ablaze to my wondering gaze God makes His glory known.
This is my Father’s world, a wanderer I may roam
Whate’er my lot, it matters not,
My heart is still at home.
thanx to Karene..

Tips on off road riding for Newbies like me
When doing down hill, especially when near the hump, slow down a bit and put
your bum behind the seat that will prevent you from flying over the bar. Try not
to brake too hard, that will stop the momentum and cause you to lose balance
and fall over. One thing I learn about going down hill is speed is your friend
and choose your line carefully. Avoid small grooves that can trap your wheel
and small rocks that can knock your front wheel off the line.
Just let it roll!!! You will learn to love it!! Some tips from e experts at togo..
Ciao..See ya in a weeks time...Dont miss me ya..

Mummy tomato n Baby tomato. After a while Daddy tomato felt Baby

Sunday Service
Believe i have seen today's preacher somewhere b4..
juz cant recalll where...
"This is my father's world
O Lord let me remember
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong
God is still ruler yet"...something like tt forgot the lyrics..dont really remember...
poor memory..
"If you do away with the yoke of oppression with the pointing finger
and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves on behalf of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night wil be come like the
noonday. The Lord will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-sorched land and will
strengthen your frame" isa58:9-11
"Oh Lord what is man that you care for him,
the son of man that you think of him?
Man is like a breath;
his days are like a fleeting shadow" Ps144:3-4
Mass inaction when Individuals in danger-The Straits Time
Reasons for inaction??
Shirking responsibility wif e tot tt someone else could n
would have stepped forth, if that person was really in
need of aid What made it easier on the conscience was
the presence of others, which must have think, in my
subconscious, that even if something happened to this person,
it would not be my fault. Second and perhaps more striking,
was the fear of doing something that those
who were around me were not doing..
Namely shirking of personal responsibility and irrational fear
of sticking out in the crowd..(copied some points from e aricle..too lazy to type out
everything..no time too..)
Be tt Good samaritian go out of ur way to help others..go e extra mile n even more
stepping out is e hardest i noe i haven been able to cross this barrier many times
sp0iltbr4t's world-blog

Tidying up my room was very fulfiling..finished everything by 3pm today..
very pleased now i have more space for myself!!..weee...Unwanted stuff
has been thrown away together with stuff i rather not part wif...esp those
i haven used in a long time. Have tis habit of keeping stuff juz in case can
use in e near future but nv use at all..Anyway found a long lost birthdae presie
a Braun Buffel leather wallet..luckily i didnt buy e fossil leather wallet e other time
but 1 prob arisedwhere to keep my coins n keys??..Dont have any more hp
pouches or small pouches...opppsy...n founde "poem" after e marzocchi suspensions..
Did i write this???!?!?
Miss u e most tonight
U r leaving for Thailand in a few daes
But it will seem forever for me
Time will stay still these daes
Knowing tt ure feeling confused
Iknow its best to let u sort things out
Perhaps love will stay maybe e opposite
But i m sure I will always be there for u
Looking back memories are bittersweet
But i thank GOd for all of them
The pain n hurt inside remains
Scars will heal but memories will nv be forgotten
...
My loneliness is wat i cannot bear
The silence is not wat i want to hear
I want to scream out loud
I want to fall to my knees n cry
Where r u??
How could u be so cruel??..
U never call or page
How can U expect me to rest in peace
When my heart pounds at e tot of the worst happening
When will all this stop?? When my feelings for u die??
No..Inoe tt wont happen...
hmmm...so i wrote this...i dont really remember..but this is definately my
handwriting..feel someone pulled e plug on my memories forgetting e
past n only focusing on e present..
I m but a fool in e game of love...coz only fools rush in..why do i always
fall head over heels n lose my bearings...=(
Left some parts out, too uncomfortable to put it down..

Pledges
The Mahjong Society Pledge:
We, the members of mahjong society
Pledge ourselves on one mahjong table
Regardless of race, language or religion

Based on "Ang Tiong", "Bei Bang", "Huat Chai"
So as to achieve "zi mo", "goh tai" and collect money for our future.
The MRT Pledge:
We the passengers of MRT
Pledge ourselves as one "kan cheong" people
Regardless of old folks, kids or pregnant women
To rush for unoccupied seats and spaces
Based on pushing and shoving
So as to achieve rest, slumber and sleep for our comfort.

E parable of the talents
matt 25:14-29
2pts:
E way we handle money tt GOd has placed in our hands
is a litmus test of whether we are ready for His second coming
E manner tt we use money reveals e depths of our hearts &
actual devotion to e cause of E Lord Jesus Christ...
E third servant was labelled "wicked n lazy"but why wicked??..
dont really understand tt part
I choose be holy
Set apart for u my Master
Ready to do ur will..
..Oh let Him have e things tt hold u..
Fight Valiantly under e banner
of Christ against sin, e world & e devil
& continue his faithful soldier & servant to
end of ur life....
Hmm...said tis pledge when i didnt noe anything..but been a letdown
many many times...probably cried when e pastor put e sign of e cross
on my forehead..I chose to be holy...why is it so hard to do..

God's mission made Abraham a homeless wanderer, Jacob a lonely exile
Wat do all these have in common??! thing: Whether thru severe adversity
Joseph a rejected Brother, a slave n a prisoner on false charges. God's mission
sentenced Israel to 400 years in Egypt n Moses to 40 years in desert. God's mission
drove DAvid into wilderness as a political refugee, n landed Hosea in e red
light District to find his wife, not onc e but twice!!.God's mission
nailed Jesus to e cross to die e humilating death of a messiahic pretender..
or spectacular achievement, they all served God's mission wif a heart-a heart
after God's heart...
Hmmm...saw many bikes todae at e NDP rehearsal..dont noe wat they were
supposed to be doing there..But very cool got Bmx..Mountain bikes..Dirt Jump bikes..trials..i
f i can remember e brands..Giant, 24-7(very nice), Scott n Santa Cruz(blur)..wahzz..see until blur....
Tink i m driving myself crazy wif this bike craze..maybe i shouldnt be spending so much on it...haizz....
