2A Lesson 3

Sunday, December 28, 2008
1st lesson 3 today. The circuit evaluation before TP.

I had drag my 2A for a very long time. *haha* I enrolled on the 23 Feb 2008 but only started my 1st lesson on the 11 Mar 2008. Went for a the previous few lesson and somehow by chance I suppose, I manage to pass. However I am not happy that I make it through (which usually people do). I know for myself that I had not be able to do it well enough to even pass any test so I drag this stupid thing for a very long time. On top of that, CDC is using that heavy, bulky XJR! Ok, maybe is not that heavy for some, but it really heavy for me! arghhhhh.

Finally today I went, the circuit evaluation. Already expected that I won't pass, however I still try my best to not get obvious immediately failure (eg: drop bike, both leg down, cone drop .. blah blah)

The test went smoothly, did all the course reasonably, except when I'm parking my bike. I suppose I didn't put the side stand properly, for the first time it happen, the side stand give way and the bike drop! *ouch* Look what the beloved bike done to my leg!

Anyway, I got my evaluation checklist. Overall riding still ok, no major mistake on that. Only some place never check blind spot. However, I did very badly with the course timing. *faint* I failed to obtain the required requirements and worst still, I get an immediate failure for that stupid S course *haha* Now I hate 8. Anyway this is quite expected. Just got to work harder and try to get use to that bike.

Eventful Morning

Monday, December 22, 2008
This morning, I am suppose to fetch my sis to CDC before heading to work at Tampines. So, the route to CDC turns out all way until ......

Actual route I'm suppose to be taking


But I end up taking this!


hahaha!

Best of all, I reach my work place a little late. Finally my parking at the building is approve so I went to the carpark, ask the security if it the parking for Tower 2, he say "Ya", then check check here check check there, ask a few question then say "Ok you may park". So into the carpark I went, happily park my bike, walk to the lift, press level 3 and *faint* I'm at the wrong building! So smart of the security. *haha*

Pre Bday Celebration with Mr. Doz

Sunday, December 21, 2008
*hee* Doz gave me a surprise some days back. He book a flight at the Singapore Flyer! I'm not quite fascinated by the flyer, what I'm excited is that my Mr. Doz actually know how to make surprise. *haha* He not quite the type where he will do things in a hush hush manner.

I had a great time with him on the flyer, taking photo, arguing with him, doing stupid and irritating things to him. *haha* I'm glad the flyer door is not open else he would probably throw me out! *giggle*

We also went for a complementry Christmas Light Up Tour by the flyer. Again, it nothing fascinating, but just having Mr. Doz with me is all perfect!

Had a great time! Enjoy myself a lot. A really different way of celebrating my birthday. But where my present?!?! .. !! Mr. Doz??!

Photos are on my facebook

Scare !!!

Thursday, December 18, 2008
I had my worst ride ever today. Was on the expressway home, traffic jam ...! I intent to change lane and thus I do my usual - leave a bigger gap from the car in front, slow down, check mirror, check blindspot turn my head back to the front and *arghhh* that damn stupid lorry was so damn near me! I suppose he did a super last minute e-break since in front of him is a whole stretch on not moving vehical! DAMN ! Why can't he just slow down earlier or at least show an intention. It so dangerous.! IDOIT

Lucky the moment I stop my bike I saw my charming Mr. Doz. Seeing his cutie face make me feel so much more comfortable.!

Firewire to USB cable

Thursday, December 4, 2008
*hurmp* Been trying to figure out recently if there such a cable where it one side of the head is a USB port and the other is a firewire.

I had an external hdd that needed 2 USB to work. However I do not have enough USB so was hopping I can connect the hdd to a firewire instead.

Anyone can help? Is there any cable that look that way or is there any adapter that can be use?

The firewire 4-circuit port that I wish to connect to.

The USB Male B-type port on the HDD

The current cable it is using.
