28th September 2005

"There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief."
-Aeschylus

Good Afternnon!
Its rainin CATS & DOGS! And I got to attend AAR @ 1430 @ Telok Kurau Camp! Ayoooo!! Seems like a tiny reanactment of a hurricane! "Sisir Aúzubillah!" Strong winds n heavy rain. Scary de man! Anyways, hmmm..dun really know wat to blog abt. Lets see..

Finally I'm like restin at home. Doin nothing much. Been on da move since my bike got out. Hahaha..Its wierd dat so many last min things crop up. Fortunately i got transportation.

Seriously I dun knoe wat to blog abt. Except dese past few days, my mind has been on my bike. Thoughts abt upgrading n how serious i am abt riding. Thoughts of how dangerous it is. Yesterday, i made 2 mistakes dat was dangerous. I had a pillion! Wat da F%*$ was I thinking! I'm afraind of ridin when my mind is half shut down. Unable to reason my decisions in time. Its no joke. Which is why i prefer to keep to da speed limits. i rather ride on da safe zone n let others say wat dey want. Unless ur absolutely sure then u should make ur move!

2 yrs on public transport wat do ya expect! but somehow it seems like yesterday I was riding. I still recall how naive n hot tempered back den. Made so many foolish decisions. 2yrs of fasting made me value wat i haf. Da freedom to ride, my bike n most important life itself. I enjoy riding be it in da fast lane or da slow lane. It gives a sense of peace. Especially at night when dares no one on da road.

Bein a rider ain't dat simple. Dares a code of conduct u hafta follow. I'm not talking abt those laws n all. I'm talking abt street codes! Disrespect em n others may intrepete ur challenging em! In other words courtesy. i dun wanna go too detail in it. Lets talk abt attire wise. i'm a little particular abt da attire i wear when i'm riding. Firstly i dun react to cold very well. Which is y u always see me wearin a jacket n long pants n shoes. If i can i wanna wear my gloves, but it looks a little over! Hahaha..Seriously when it get cold, i can really shiver..Especially at night.

Why jeans, jacket n shoes? Well, besides da coldness, its da safety aspect. Prevention is better den cure. Simple as dat. Some ask why do i always wear my jacket inverted. Answer is simple, aerodynamic. At first i ignored all dese but dare was one point when it poured cats n dogs, i was wearin full rain coat back den, gusts of wind seems to be trapped by my jacket, creating a kinda parachute effect causing u to steer out of course easily. Den dares another reason, When I was young, i observed y all these uncles wear it all inverted! Now I know y!

Things just dun happen without a reason. Think abt it. Observe n ask y! Seems like da "mini storm" has passed! I can see clear skies. Its time fer me to get ready now. Cheers peepz!
