Hey everyone, I am enjoying my holidays since the very start of it. FYP is time consuming and i really mean it. Almost everyday, my group will be back in school doing our quadrotor, however, we only work 4 days a week. Things were not that bad afterall.
Last week was the best i suppose. FYP from Mon-Thur and Friday was an off day. 4 days in school, followed by 4 days of holidays! What can be better than this?
[Thur] I texted Jia Wei on last Thur and asked him out for cycling. He cycled from Yishun and I started from my house, meeting venue was at Bishan. It took us around 20 mintues along Bishan before we eventually got to see each other. Along the way, my front tube burst again and i nearly fell. Perhaps it is the 7th month thing. Starting of the 7th month, my tube burst too! We found a place and I tried to patch repair the tube but eventually i failed. Left with no other alternatives, I pushed and ran with my bike from mid of Bishan back to my home. We went to eat bean curd before i returned home to get my spare tube. Replaced it within minutes and we were ready to go once again. Was so shag that I knocked out soon after i had my shower.
[Fri] Alarm clock went ringing at 8am but I wasn't able to drag myself out of bed. That morning was cooling and it just feels great lying on my bed, doing nothing. Until I saw my clock showed 10.30am, i woke up. If not, I might really be late! Walked and shopped around Orchard to look for a birthday present for Tee Bing. After much looking and walking around, I decided on getting a dump truck from mega blocks for my nephew. Stomach was growling like mad, didn't have much for lunch and so, we went for the Swensen ice cream and dessert buffet. There are lots of ice creams to choose from and we thought we could eat a lot. To our horror, we got owned by 12 scoops of ice creams, 2 slices of cakes and some chocolate fondue. We admited that we are not great ice cream eaters. Hope to see you again real soon.
[Sat] Mum came knocking at my door at 8.30am. After washing up, we went to meet our distant relatives from Indonesia. Was pretty shocked to see such a huge group, 23 of them. Luckily the younger ones can speak some Teochew, Mandarin and English, and we had fun together.
[Sun] Nothing much to highlight except for the game exhibition at Suntec and Superimportnights at Expo. Went crazy with Yaoming and Weisheng, chasing around and snapping shots of the car models. Too bad i didn't have my camera along with me. Models from Thailand looks the best i guess, better than those from Taiwan and USA. KT So is HOT!
[Mon] Played basketball in the morning but my aiming was way off! Only managed to make some decent baskets after missing plenty. My skin looks abit reddish, slight sunburnt i guess.
Alright... Enjoyed myself for the past few days! Recharged and re-energised and will head towards another 4 days of FYP, starting from tomorrow.
Do the right thing at the right time. Every contributions will help to make our project better, no matter how small it may be.
On the day, 09/09/2009, I got my driving licence! Hurray! I am pround to be a 'P'- plate driver and my brother actually let me drove his car on 2 ocassion so far. 1st was to the prata shop beside NUS and 2nd to Geylang for a quick bite around 3am. Just a pity that my licence will not show 09-09-2009, it will show 09 Sept instead.
OH ya, i also got myself a new toy for entertainment! A 2nd-hand NDS lite, not brand new but it still serve its purpose. Now i can play lots of games!
Double joy!

Study Hard, Play Hard and last of all, PEDAL HARD... Today is a kind of special day [21 June] and it is some sort of a siblings gathering day. I woke up pretty early, around 5.40am, barely able to drag myself off the bed to get ready for the SAFRA Paya Lebar Runway cycling event. 1 Sausage McMuffin with egg was the only breakfast i had, and a pack of Milo.
I signed up for the 15km 'leisure' ride at the runway. The starting part of the ride has a gentle downward slope and it helped a lot in building up my speed. Upon reaching a comfortable speed, I moved on and overtook some of the cyclists ahead. But i got trashed flat by road bikes, they were so fast! Their maximum speed is so high faster than what a mountain bike can go. Eventually i managed to complete 15km in about 45 minutes and took a 5 minutes break before i ahead to look for my bros and sis. They were on the 6km route, together with their kids. This time round, i decided to go even faster. Finally, i shifted up to gear 3-6! I hardly go above 3-5 as anything above 3-5 makes it very 'heavy' to pedal. I couldn't keep up for long and my muscles started to give in. It is the first time that i experienced cramps on my leg while cycling. Left with no other choice, I pull over at the side of the track and rest. Luckily it wasn't that serious, if not i would have definitely fell from my bike and suffered substantial injuries. Caught up with them towards the end and i could feel my stomach growing!
I ate quite a lot for lunch! Snacks, noodles, fruits and more! Spent some money on a cheap bicycle computer, at least from now on, i can keep track of the distanced travelled and speed etc. An airhorn is what i need currently to make my bike complete.
I can feel some parts of my leg are rock solid! That's all for tonight. Thanks for reading Good Night.
