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.

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*

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.!

I'm back from a short overnight trip with Kruzer to Tanjung Sutera (Silk Bay), http://www.tanjungsutera.com, from 190708 - 200708.

Mr. Doz and me woke up kind of late and we do manage to reach on time but were only welcome by a huge jam at the custom. The kruzer end up waiting for us at the breakfast locations.

Overall trip is fun and super relaxing. Should have such trips more often.



But this trip wasn't quite a fruitful one. My so call proclaim waterproof camera have water sip in, I drop Mr. Doz bike alarm.

Mr. Doz cause me to wear rain pants that is cover with muddy water during a span of raining road.

wow! Finally back from the long journey up a cave at Malaysia with the Kruzer

Below are some information extract from kruzer.org.sg

Gua Tempurung is a cave in Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia. It is popular among spelunkers, or caving enthusiasts. More than 3 km long, it is one of the longest caves in Peninsula Malaysia. Part of it has been developed as a show cave with electric lighting and walkways and there are a range of tours of different lengths and difficulty. A fine river cave, the river passage runs about 1.6 km through the hill. There are three very large chambers and some spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.

Tu lan. On my way home, met this irritating male driver. Stupid. Don't know what stunt he trying to do, I was in the 2nd lane and he was in the 3rd. Suddenly he change lane and came to the 2nd and best of all, he did it directly infront of me. I could had bang into him.

Quickly I checked and change to the 1st lane (bus lane). I don't have the habit of horning others so in a situation like this, so sudden, I couldn't feel my damn horn. *mad*

He really is a crazy driver. When that "action" happens, he was in 2nd lane (he change from the 3rd to 2nd remember?) The very moment, when I just got in front of him, I turn to take a look but he wasn't behind me! He was in the 1st lane

@#$%^%**&^%$* Idiot driver

Yesterday was my 1st self ride on my fino after my P plate period. I head to Suntect Carrefour alone after work to get curtain for my mum. Thinking that I'll be home before Mr. Doz so I rode slowly back. Until I reach carpark did I notice that Mr. Doz had already arrival and I caught him buying ice-cream downstair. *haha*

Miss Fino attempted to remind me the day I return from fraser that I had pass my probation period but I didn't catch the hint until today. I rode alone again to Orchard - Claymore Road and meet up with Green and CS. Mr. Doz join us after his work. *hee*

Fino level up! Jo level up!

Went trying of Oakley and after many trying, I finally narrow down to Oakley Monster Pup and Straight Jacket. Which one should I get?
