My bike threw me off.... On a slope!!

Yup... the title says it all. Only the severity of the damage done due to the accident is yet unknown. So basically I now have a sprained wrist ( hope it's just sprained though, not broken or anything worse than a sprain) and it needs to heal fast lol. This on top of two knees with abrasion and arasion on the left side of my face as well. Ouchhh! Really, OUCH!
As a result, I am typing with just my right hand now (thankfully my right hand is okay I might add). My left hand is next to useless now except for the elbow which I use to support myself in getting up and sitting down.
So what happened exactly?
I had set off with high spirits to go cycling towards South Buona Vista Rd yesterday. As usual, I got onto Boon Lay Way via the Jurong Central Park PCN. This time though, I decided to try out taking the slope down to the canal without using the brakes. On many previous occasions, that similar thought had occured to me but I'd never dared to do so for fear of losing control of my bike. As I had reasoned with myself on countless occasions that this could not happen so long as I was keeping vigilant and alert, somehow I made the decision there and then to ride down without using the brakes at all.
Then, as I rushed down the slope, I felt the bike speed up way too fast! I panicked then. I can't remember if I did hit the brakes but the next thing I knew, I had fallen face first onto the ground and my head was giddy. My bike was inches away from where I fell. The first thing I realized was that my knees were grazed and bleeding, My face felt painful too so that might have been grazed too. My only concern though was to check if I had hit my head.
From the way I fell, I was sure that the bike had flipped and thrown me off, face- first. Anyways, I wheeled my bike back home and also realised that the right hand brakes were damaged due to the accident.
So after visiting the clinic with my grandparents, my wounds have now been properly treated and bandaged. Even my left wrist has been bandaged lols. Seems a little 'kua zhang' to me lols. Anyways, my wounds had better receive proper treatment coz I have gatherings to attend on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of Jan. Therefore, hope I recover fast enough lols.

First blog post from my own laptop

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I'm finally able to blog from my own laptop. Lols, maybe I've been able to all these while, hahas. After I got my laptop and tried adding a post on my blog, realised that it didn't work. Lols! After that just assumed that blogspot.com didn't work with Microsoft 7, which is what my laptop is using and have then since been blogging from computers in the library.
Tried again today and Voila! It worked! Hahas.
So this is the first post from my own laptop haha. Been meaning to post from my laptop since the days when I was doing PW lols. So cool! Now that I can do it, yeah man, will post more often.
Gonna be so proud of this post!
Sun is shining really brightly outside my window as I write. Clear skies too, no clouds! Most likely going to go cycling along to Pasir Panjang area and to Labrador Park if I can locate it. Hahas, hope the weather and my superly poor sense of direction dun let me down.

Bloggers in da house!!

Recently found some friends of mine who also write blogs/ are still writing blogs hahas. So of course looked their blogs up and decided to visit the blogs more often. Hahas, thanks to KW and YK, I’ve got blog posts to read again!
Added the blogs as a link on my blog. My first!

The more the merrier

I managed to get in contact with yet another future NS buddy recently. Hahas, so cool. Informed the others and we’ve now integrated into a larger family hahas.
On top of that, I’ve also realised that a school mate and good friend of mine from PJC is also enlisting on the same day same camp. MAN! This is REALLY cool hahas! Been lamenting that it wouldn’t be possible for me to meet any friends in the same camp as I was in PES E lols. But hey, Surprise! It’s a small world man.
So we’ve sort of planned a meet up session on the 3rd of Jan at AMK Hub. Well, I’m hoping to have a whole day event where we just hang out. Included all 6 of us, hahas.
So now our family has really grown, from 4 + 2 = 6 now! Hahas!

Nokia X1-01

Yup that’s my new phone there! Only took it out to use just today. Gotta try it out sometime right, and get used to using it? It’s the non- camera phone that we’re supposed to use during our enlistment into NS lol. Lol man, how troublesome! Not to mention the cost of getting yet another phone and the need to get used to it too. Besides, its a Nokia phone. Lol! Still, those are the requirements. Therefore, might as well I spend more time reading the manual and learn about the functions of the phone and how to use these functions while I have so much time on my hands huh?

Well, the little comfort in this new phone is the fact that there’s a flashlight function too which I just noticed, hahas!

Mahjong Camp

We stayed over at my grandparents’ place for the past four days with my cousins. Played mahjong daily till late at night. Or nightly rather as we only played at night. Hahas, it was fun man! One of the only times that we’ve stayed there for such a long time and played so much mahjong hahas. Looking forwards to more of these, that’s for sure.

Wearing specs finally

Finally wore my specs today hahas. Actually, I’ve wanting to start wearing the pair of spectacles that I’ve bought from Malaysia since some time ago. Been intending to wear it for the long term lol. So finally made it a point today to wear my specs out. Still need some getting used to wearing specs though, although this isn’t the first time I’m wearing my specs for a long period of time. I used to wear it during lectures and in school.

Anyways, I’ve decided to only wear my spectacles when I’m out. At least, I can still see things around me quite clearly, more so at home.

Oooh, gatherings with friends!

I’ve been really at a loss these past few weeks of the holidays lols. Would really have liked to hang out with some friends and perhaps even attend some Christmas gatherings or outings. But no, no one has jio-ed me out so far. I’ve also not jio-ed anyone out so far. Haven’t had a reason for asking people out, and dunno who to ask as well lols.
Then just two days ago, was informed by Jordan of 10S13’s BBQ session on 5th Jan. Hahas, finally a gathering! That helped lift my spirits up a little.
Then there was yet another invitation today, by Alchemist Club hahas. Going to have yet another BBQ on 4th Jan. Two BBQs on two consecutive days.
Really looking forwards to these. Hahas!

BAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!

Just landed back in Singapore yesterday night. Then we had a great feast waiting for us back here. We were to be celebrating my grandparents’ wedding anniversary lol. So the feast wasn’t exactly for us hahas. Still, I enjoyed it just the same.
Even before we got back to Singapore, we had already heard news about some incidents with the MRT in Singapore while we were overseas. Apparently, there were a couple of break downs of the MRT in the past week. So we got a more detailed picture of the situation when we got back to Singapore. Seems really bad lol. Many angered commuters, lots of resentment…
Anyways, apart from that, it sure is good to be back. Well, the weather here is pretty much wet and cold for now as there was a downpour just last night and it had been pouring for most of the days while we were away. Furthermore, it wasn’t too cold over in Taiwan so the temperature was hovering around about 13°C to about 18°C. Yeah, so the adjustment back to Singapore’s weather and climate went quite smoothly.
Of course, now that’s we’re back, there is the unpacking of luggage which we have to attend to. Going to be a laborious task hahas. Glad to say that I’ve also bought some new clothes and shoes.
That’s all for now I guess, stay tuned for updates on my trip.

Bye Singapore, Hi Taiwan!

Life’s been kinda slack for me after the A levels lol. Supposed to pack up my room and clear out stuff that I no longer need seeing as the A levels are over. However, it’s still a mess. Mostly just hanging around at home and either watch TV or sit in front of the computer.
Anyways, I’m going for a holiday to Taiwan to break out of this boring holiday. Leaving tomorrow morning, early. So blogging’s going to be put on hold for about a week, or more. Will blog about my trip there when I get back.
So, ciaoz!

End of year jobs

As of now, I have still not decided on taking up a job for the time being. This is partly due to the fact that time is really short for me as I am enlisting into NS on 10th January. Moreover, I will most likelu be going overseas to Taiwan some time in the second week of December. So seeing as that’s the case, even if I were to take on a job, there will be many distruptions. Therefore, after chatting with a future NS buddy of mine, have decided to put it on hold for now. Still, I am going to keep an eye or ear out for news of good job opportunities hahas. Was thinking of working during my NS period instead seeing as I will be quite free during that time anyways. However, I am still not sure how things work after we are enlisted so can’t be too sure of that now.
Talking about job opportunities, I have received a request from a boss of a tuition centre to work there as a tuition teacher. Hahas, as much as I like the idea of that, I have declined the offer for now. Seeing as my grades are so poor, I think I may be more in need of tuition than be tutoring others myself hahas. Still, I am sourcing for a job nonetheless so I’m still keeping my options open. I will make it a point to visit the Facebook site that he has given me before I make further decisions on what to do.
Hahas… seeing as my “holiday” is really so short, I have decided not to commit to anything as of now. So it’s just slacking for me…. For now.

Rain Rain Go AWAYYYYY!!

Well, we’ve entered into the last month of 2011 already. Time flies! With the arrival of December also comes the unbearable monsoon season. Therefore, thanks to the monsoon season, I haven’t been able to do much. Mostly just been slacking at home watching TV or surfing the net. Due to the persistent rain that never fails to arrive at odd timings daily without fail, I haven’t been able to go swimming nor cycling. Furthermore, jogging is also off the list of outdoor activities due to the rain deciding to spoil my mornings as well by arriving in the early hours of the day recently.
Haiz… so much for working so hard throughout the year. Thought that I could enjoy some physical activities at the end of all exams and hard work. In the end, THIS!
So I still say..’Rain, rain go away. Don’t come back until next May. Please let me go out to PLAY!’

Still on my way Up… Up…. and Up!!!

1.71m!! That’s my latest height!
I am so glad man! I’m still growing taller yeahs!
Had another medical appointment today. Therefore, I also had to take my height and weight. And I grew a whooping 3cm since the last time I took my height measurement! Yeahs!!
Well, this thus gives me evidence that I’ve not stopped growing, which is really comforting to know of course hahas!
Secondly, this also tells me that the stretching exercises that I have been doing, mostly stretching the backbone, might have more or less helped in my increase in height. Hahas! So that’s 3cm in about 2 months. So if I continue, hopefully I’ll reach about 174/5cm by March next year? Hahas, am really glad man!
This certainly also means that I’ve finally bridged the 160+cm to get into the 170+cm range already. Despite me still being still kind of average in height and still shorter than most other guys, I don’t really mind anymore hahas. At least I’m still growing. That’s all that matters! Anyways, I do not intend to get all the way to 180+cm. That’s way too tall, so I feel. Getting to about 175 cm is already enough hahas. Wish me luck!

Dye Hair?

Been chatting with Samuel, a Sec School buddy of mine and came across the idea of getting our hair dyed. Even before chatting, I did ponder about this a little after seeing how good guys with slightly brownish hair looked. Haha… so I’ve sort of made a decision to dye my hair either before enlisting in NS or after NS, while waiting to get into a University. Not really sure how to go about doing this but most likely going to do a temporary one only. Maybe only going to use shampoo which colours the hair… hahas I don’t know man!
Anyways, after A levels, it’s been more of ‘Time is short, what you wanna do, just do lah!’ Hahaha…
All possibilities are being considered while I’m still in my teens. Hahas!
