2010-06-12T06:18:00.000-07:00

If racing is creating trouble in my family, as they dont support it at all.
What should i do. i wanna to race, at the same time i want a happy family

2010-06-10T11:05:00.000-07:00

Im lucky to survive the crash.

i told myself just keep going,even if its means rolling over someones arm or leg.

As i cant afford to go down.

2010-06-10T00:18:00.000-07:00

im 19 now. shit that is old.

Im pretty worried about the sprint. there is just so much pressure. So many what ifs

Good thing nats this year is flat

Need to get sch stuff done.Last min lessons hurt

My money isnt making money, shit

A new semester

2010-04-29T20:53:00.000-07:00

Well this is my first post in my new semester.

I realise that fitness cannot be gained without traing.

Ive also joined trielite with the goal of improving my overal fitness and also to prepare for napfa test.

Well in sports its our rivals the motivate us to outperform them and save our egos.

Jiayu u agree right.. Haha.

TIred

2010-03-15T07:35:00.001-07:00

When i suffer in the time trial,

Ill remember it was days like today that i felt tired and decided to leave the bike aside.

Tomorrow with fresher legs, ill try to make a harder effort

Itt

2010-03-09T08:10:00.000-08:00

36km in a hour possible?

Aerobars- checked
Aero wheels- checked
bike fit for TT position- in the process

OCBC 2010

2010-03-07T13:40:00.000-08:00

Well i went to the start line late and started at the back of the first wave.

Started conservatively. saw ppl entangled in the start.2km down, spotted about 5 ANZA dudes and followed them all the way.

Issac was in my pack also. He tried to make the pack go faster but the angmohs did not want to chase. So issac went back into the pack wif me.

Witness a couple of crashes, prolly frm the first pack with amreet was with. Heard riding in the first pack was hell. Very dangerous riding resulted in 3 major crashes.

First pack was about 53 mins, 2nd pack about 56-57 mins, if i had went to the start line early n started with the first pack , i would likely be 53 mins plus too, but likely i would have gotten into one of those crashes.

So God had a reason for me in the second pack.Finishing in one piece is more impt

compact crank

2010-03-01T04:35:00.001-08:00

So my idol actually reads my blog and is thinking of getting a compact crank.

"enlighten me on how a compact crank with a huge ass cassette = hopeless please. cos im thinking of changing to compact crank so... am i hopeless??

"

Given his 1400 watts ability, a 11-23 or 11-21(if can find) cassette would suit him well. A decent ride would be able to climb fable in the 23t at fable with a compact crank.in fact i do in in 19t,only hopeless ppl need a 25 or 27t

But then given that he is so fast and powerful, a pity his small chain ring would remain new as it wont be called into service of the power legs.

Gear ratios for climbs

2010-02-21T00:30:00.000-08:00

normal crank with large cassette= ok
compact crank with small cassette=ok
compact carnk with a large cassette= You are hopeless!!

Bikes

2010-02-16T05:30:00.000-08:00

My rd bike has these few unfinished business
-blue cnc brake calipers
-blue aerozine skewer
-blue aerozine ceremic BB
-Blue alligator ilinks

For my mtb, its a good idea to keep my groupset and fork and rebuilt from scratch...

THank You

2010-01-14T03:33:00.000-08:00

I think im beginning to get the avartar syndrom too.....

In life im too slack alr. Now i feel very bad for being inconsidered to my sch mates. Especially the ones in my project groups and those close around me. When i get my ass out of poly with a diplomo , i would know who are the ones i owe my life too. You guys will nv be forgotten.

Meanwhile, im trying my best to wrap up the Cm.

deore rd badly scratched, fraem hangar bend

sram force just came in. yipee

suddenly this though came to me
if i dont have 100% control of things , there is no pt in working hard.
cos you have to rely on others and that when they fail you. it takes 2 hands to clap. always best if the 2 hands are yours

so do i have a soloist mentaility?

What went wrong

2009-11-08T23:55:00.001-08:00

I failed my driving test. but i keep asking myself, why why why.
i fucking tried my best, including 3 lessons in the last week. if i fail a exam like frp i wont complain la, cos i fking deserve.. but this, why??

mistake number one , the tester is damn guai lan
mistake 2, i did not adjust the seat properly.
hmm i cant be bothered to mention all. All i can say is my instructor is partly responsible too, failing to correct me during practises.

so whats the aftermath,
-lots of stuff gonna wait
-cycle to sch more
-rely on my father more.
- i cant do alot of stuff.
-fustration
- more money spend. ( i belive my father will settle this part la)
- waste more money

on a positive note. its better to fail the test then involved in a accident. Damages in thousands compared to the hundreds for test.. with every failure, i belive i will come back stronger with the experice.

The more i sweat in peace, the less i bleed in war

However there is a spritual aspect to it that i only remember after the test. God plans events in out lives, well sometimes we always question wtf , why ,why. But God decided for it to happen. Maybe its to remind me my commmitment to christ. Yes many of times i forget about him. thinking that im good enough. However its times like this that make me wake up. In thee i trust now.

2009-11-06T09:05:00.000-08:00

im very pissed with the president of np cycling,i rush to get the claims ready yet he takes his own sweet time to submit. ANd i was kind enuf to help np cycling pay first.

talking about races, ttt we got 2nd.i just did not feel good.
hmm it seems the races that i look foward too , i dun do well.
but its the races that i go for fun like the cyclong sprint that i win.
Hmm for this upcoming nat race, nt sure if i can go.
imagine all the juniors not working,slow pace to the finish, ending in a bunch sprint.Wow then i got chance sia.

i can feel that my sprints are not as powerful as b4,dun to lack of practise.

and if i go to nat rd race, i need the best equipment available. full carbon bike and 50mm carbon wheels. no good equipment might as well dun race

2009-08-31T11:05:00.000-07:00

haha i love it when i can feel the watts going into my wheels.
my reynolds wheels are my best investment so far.
oh and my drivetrain was very crispy today, thanks to a clean and lubed chain
today was a great ride...

wow

2009-08-30T06:30:00.000-07:00

So we left np at 8pm, link up wif amirun at ten mile. Headed to Lck via the usual way. took a 15 min break. did 2 laps aka 12km. maintaining high speed is very hard, so now i respect justin for being able to maintain 40 for a long time.
Den nick had to shit. he ask the tenah air base ppl if he could go in shit. they gave him toilet paper and ask him go to the nearest petrol station shit. so we went to the petrol station. after that we went to to jln buroh ,did a lap of pandan reservior den broke off at JE mrt. den i went to oasis coffeeshop meet wilson collect my tire lever. brough shaker fries frm macs on e way back.

A special post to Joween:)

2009-08-10T09:06:00.000-07:00

Alright it seems so hard to arrange the teams for the ttt stuff, my team is fine, anytime can meet up train at lck. The other team, wa its hard to organise them,2 stay at pasir ris, one at amk,one at jurong. Well since im like the unofficial leader for this, its my responsibility to get this mess sorted out la. i Belive a one two finish would be possible for NP cycling. Colours awards for year 2010 again?:)

On a happier side, joween if you are reading this , im glad you are:)
I really enjoy the times when i was a close fren of urs like 2 yrs back? i still remember that occasion when u are so nervous that u had to play the panio for some fellowship thing and you kept asking me how ar.. and i took a super long bus ride back with you as it was very late.

den after last year church camp, you got to know that clown . i dunno why but it seem that after that, we like nv talk much, or can i say at all.You also got much prettier:) but when we walked pass we dao each other, for some reason i dunno why too?...it seemed like you changed..i think the reason why is cos the clown was with you 24/7 so somehw felt award to speak to u when he is around.

today i tried my luck and talk to u on msn, somehow u were responsive. i hope its natural and real and not cos we are behing our laptop screens. i somehow felt like i was talking to you back in those days 2 yrs back. when we could just talk about anything under the sun. i wish i can just approach you to have a chat in church or smth.

well all the best in your studies joween!!:) mug hard and play hard..

sponsorship

2009-08-06T08:41:00.000-07:00

When you are sponsored , what do you do?

You return the favor back of cos.
C2C has been very kind to sponsor the jerseys for NP cycling.
This is a fact that many smbf bros know, some are also impressed.
When ppl ask me which shop has best service, i tell them no doubt its C2C.
During the yew tee crit , i purposely ask jason to take many photos and post on smbf, to so called give the coverage to c2c.

But some of you guys wonder why i so called dont buy much stuff from them.
1)its very far far away from my house, bringing a unridable bike there involves alot of logistics.
2)i always prefer used parts as they are more value for money.90% of my components are used.

updates

2009-08-06T08:24:00.000-07:00

im fucking piss wif my driving instructor.
he took 3 pit stops, each 5 min.
1) put in money in atm
2)go toilet
3)buy supper

wtf im super pissed.........

on the other hand, im lucky to get my hands on the only few sets of ultegra 6700 compact grpset

weeight weenie over looks

2009-08-04T08:26:00.001-07:00

Went down to LNT to view the bmc. whoa got big scratch on the fork , and its damn heavy. forget it man.. since i was there i bought a 120g abr stem and many barrel adjustors for the carbon frames.. btw this will be my frame of choice. i think a sub 7.5kg built is really possible.

buyers and sellers

2009-08-03T06:28:00.001-07:00

hmm buyers we like to squeeze as much as possible out from a seller.
Today i my item arrive, i found out the shipping cost to be very expensive . I think the seller earn very little only by selling it to me. I just feel bad la...

next time before you bargain ask yourself how much the cost price is, from the supplier.

eg a cost price of a xtr groupset is $500. the bikeshop gets if for 2k from the supplier and sells to you for 2.1k. Dont be stupid and argue that the cost price is only 500, in this case the shop is only earning 100 from you. Ask yourself, if u get the xtr groupset for 2k, how much would you sell?

Honestly i dun think our singapore shimano parallel importers are earning alot, give them a break.

cold

2009-08-02T01:17:00.000-07:00

WHy are ppl in fcf so cold, like never talk or such.................I feel very sad seeing this happen.

Personally i bear grudges against this clown , but honestly why should i hate him, maybe its cos of my buddies who paint a neg picture of him.. if the rumour was true, he is damn lucky to have bang white chicks.

Also Maybe its my fault for being away so long, but i dun think it matters rite?

damn tired

2009-08-01T05:21:00.000-07:00

Went mountain biking today at bt , whoa very siong, very tiring..... Washing and waxing and lubing bike later is even more tiring . What a tiring day..

And exams are coming soon,....... GOD help me man,even though i put in "reasonable effort"
Revision plan. start from best to worst
1. fp
2. Aaa,fmgt,fit.frp ok
Fp should be no prob, my main concern is the next 4 wtf they are equally hard

The Biting point

2009-07-29T20:41:00.001-07:00

wow hahaha im very happy with yesterdays 1 hr driving lesson.all i did was practise to start off a incline slope. with that ability, i feel mor confident on the road.

Speaking of studies, all i wish is just to pass all modules...... a F up gpa is perfectly fine with me.

second thoughts

2009-07-28T20:18:00.000-07:00

Just completed my first rodawest ride with a 8.5kg alu bike. The ride was so so bumpy, acclerations felt sluggish compared to my previous ride

I tend to miss my carbon frame, its both stiffer and more comfy. Wasted it have a shallow head angle and a long wheelbase, if not i would have kept it.

This scott geometry is much better, out of saddle surges felt more controlled.However ride is very bumpy. I wonder if the BMC streefire would be that bad too....

I am seriously wondering if the bmc with ultegra 6700 would be sub 8kg...., remembering my previous carbon bike was only 7.9 kg

Worth the $$$

2009-07-27T04:45:00.001-07:00

i want value out of every single dollar. is $900 for a set of aero carbon wheels worth it? if it can resell for 800 or more to me its worth....

i belive there is a chance my new bike will be heavier then my current built as the frameset alone weight 350g more den my carbon frame:(

shit the carbon rims needa wait 2 mths for the manufacturing process, by then maybe i lost the interest alr..

Bike stuff to get
- frameset
-ultegra 6700
-carbon wheels( if i can get a good deal)

Bike stuff to sell
-complete scott roadie with tiagra.
-Reynolds solitute (if i buy the aero wheel)

auto race signup

2009-07-25T09:40:00.000-07:00

In case some ppl are wondering why my name is on the ITT start list and why i nv start. Its simply that i did not sign up and i dunno why my name is on the startlist. So i will not be competing.

My bet for this race would be alvin poon(if he dun screw up) or Yan Han(who has been very consistent).

NP cycling direction

2009-07-24T11:08:00.000-07:00

Now im really confused as to which direction to take. . . . Most of the guys are leaning to the pro side, as they see themselves improve ride after ride. Next week will be specific TTT training. Today was the first ride i said a prayer for safety every 5 mins. Thank God we are in one piece...

Many thanks to jason wo and guowei.

life is improving.

2009-07-22T02:27:00.004-07:00

Im kinda satisfied now .. even though i dunno how to explain it.Cycling is a closed chapter in my life alr. doing badly at the brickland race motivated me even more. i really put in alot of effort in my sprint intervals. Well the result was worth it.....for the 200m sprint, i was able to feel the extra power need to pump into the pedal. Many thanks to jeff who taught me. well at least my "silly sprints" are worth 2 gold medals.

well i hope another chapter will start in the future. when i see u guys on the road, amirun ,tianfah,nick,daniel,jeremy,ryan,another daniel,wayne.... well i realise its a real joy to ride with you guys.without u guys,i would trade my bike for a tennis racket alr...

On to studies, well now its all about passing my modules and get on to semester 4..
some may say its too low a goal to just pass, well thats my target. study hard local uni also cannot make it,may i just dun have the potential to go there
just passing will help me get a banking and finance diploma........

Studying to pass and studying to score is really different, and i enjoy whats going on now..:)

life is improving.

2009-07-22T02:27:00.003-07:00

life is improving.

2009-07-22T02:27:00.001-07:00

You derserve the win!

2009-07-17T08:54:00.000-07:00

Heinrich Haussler you deserve the win man!! i understand whats its like to train a whole year for that classic, only to lose to cavendish by half a wheel. Well you did not give and won a stage in the tour de france!

"Pain is only temporary, giving up will last in the mind forever"

first crit

2009-07-12T22:44:00.000-07:00

race went well, nv crash.
well a bad start killed it for me.. after the first corner, william shot off, too late to chase. but i finish welll.....

to some people out there,i nv chiet you , you must chiet me meh?
First you all complain i nv pull, then when i pull , u say i cmi trying to sprint off....well i see u run 39-12 ,extreme cross chain,i also nv laugh at you'

Well on the other hand i would like to thank friends who have taught me alot and help me when needed, namely jef, babu and pupu, thanks guys

- like to wake up late.
-dun bother take down lecture notes
-nv do homework
-nv follow cher in tutorial.

EVEN FOR CYCLING
even today when i did my own cycling ride at brickland. i told myself aim for a 20min hard session, heart rate maintain 160. IN the end i only sprint the downslope to 60k den slack for the rest or the loop and sprint again. my hb not even 130 i guess. i notice on fridays rides i can manage to suck justin and gain a good workout.cos maybe sat no sch thus i go all out.

new crank

2009-07-04T08:23:00.000-07:00

i totally love my compact crank... shall not explain much.
hit new speed record with my bicycle 62km/h
tried 90rpm peddling technique, knees hurt, i think im more suited to the 95-100 rpm range.

things to get

Targets

2009-06-26T01:12:00.001-07:00

After 18 years of waiting, i finally got to drive last night legally. Nice car btw honda city. driving aint simple. cos u have to do alot of things at the same time. Well in one session i perfected my steering and counter steering

Now on to cycling. i see myself cycling for 2 more years b4 ns . What do i wanna achieve during this 2 years? i cannot express with words. Some simple thoughts are
-being president of np cycling next year,to expand my cycling social circle
- perfecting sprints
- good pedal stroke
-able to maintain 85%vo2 max for 30 mins.
-do well in some small local races
-just complete a stage race. eg tour of egat

Video speaks a million words

To do list

2009-06-20T10:52:00.000-07:00

-new oakley shades(very impt)
-fit the compact crank ( hmm i can survive on my current crank though)
-get the 105 brakes( this one i damn lazy)

-find hp printer buyer

Camp is over. The commitment and passion of the those involved really touched me .

church camp day 2

2009-06-16T08:15:00.000-07:00

i wonder how some ppl became so enthu. hmm.....
i seriously think very few ppl are qualified to outreach given their personal qualities. To see the rest preaching is very hyprocritical.
Well food has been good so far., although my sugar intake is very high, averging 2.5 cans of coke a day.

Suddenly i notice guys taking a interest in girls in church. hmm isn this very dangerous... last time i like joween and now..... we seldom talk. Just remain as normal frens is best la.

church camp day 1

2009-06-15T02:53:00.001-07:00

music not good, hopefully see can absorb what that make sense

Holidays!

2009-06-13T09:10:00.000-07:00

All the exams are over! i guess ill just pass both fmgt and aaa, but i may fail frp, to pass frp is really a miracle.

so now can focus on cycling alr. i realise i had a big problem spinning with a normal crank , too many high gears. tmr im gonna get a ultegra compact cranks r700 from a ang mo. Also visited rodalink ,failed to cut my seatpost bolt as it was poking my carbon saddle base. interim solution nw is to use fat tape to cushion it..Also inserted 8* shims into my shifters to bring the reach nearer, thanks to my short fingers.

arrggh now this is the bad part, i think my front hub is fucked. 1800km and not smooth alr knn. i wonder whats wrong with it.

mood:shitty

2009-06-10T06:18:00.000-07:00

AAA was good, paper was do-able.

frp- die die die, so freaking hard la. i admit i din study much,but usually my superb common sense that ususally help me could not help me anymore. when i hand up the paper i had the totally gone feeling. if pass den would be damn lucky.

now its fmgt, pretty worried bout chapter 4 see how it goes.

side note, whenever cherie talks to me on msn, ill be happy.she keeps trying encouraging me la. remembered what pastor said last sun in church about ur future partner, with all the strict creiteria. Hmm cherie seems to fit in very well, girl i will wait for u:)

2009-06-08T05:30:00.000-07:00

2009-05-25T08:11:00.000-07:00

I am not happy with my roadie. geometry looks fucked up. maybe a nice saddle and wheelset will perk it up

service charge

2009-05-23T23:49:00.001-07:00

Knn rodalink wants to charge me 50 bucks to built up my bike. so much $$ for such a simple job. ok my saddle and tires are still missing..

earliest my bike can be ready is wed, hopefully in time for fwnr ride:)

2009-05-23T09:27:00.001-07:00

2009-05-23T08:28:00.000-07:00

Wow what a ride today. 100 over km. np to ecp in 45 mins.Weather was good traffic was rather good also. Haha fellow riders are saying i look very weird on a mtb, i think its due to my pedal stroke. Dinner with family at nearby coffeeshop, yummy western food.

OPPORTUNITY COSTS

2009-05-19T07:10:00.000-07:00

Hmm back to the topic of opportunity costs....

If i din make the swich to bfs, i would remain in bs. definately i would be clinging on to joel,debrah and grace all day as well as be in the same classes and project groups as them.. sounds fun yeah, having your best pals around u in 24/7.

But look where i am now , enjoying my new course, esp financial planning. The modules are so much more interesting compared to bs. but at the expense of not being with debrah and grace company. well so is it worth it? i seriously dunno.

One thing is for sure, life this semester is definately much better den last sem. Cos i found a group of pals hu tcss the same topics that i like to tcss.

School

2009-05-18T20:19:00.000-07:00

So far in this first mths of the semester. 2 of the tutors have given up on my class. why can't the few clowns in my class just behave themselves ? is it that difficult to do?...... should have jus join aston and buddies class man.

This bring back memories of tb32, where every tutor said it was the most fun class they ever taught. Miss ya pals frm tb32

FIT

2009-05-18T02:38:00.000-07:00

Yes my carbon fibre frame is on the way to sg alr. pray hard the cockhead remember to include the headset

edit: Knn the tiong nv include my headset, in a seperate package on e way. china ppl are stupid man

confession

2009-05-17T02:37:00.000-07:00

Told her i like her, wonder her response...............

well not good, but i kinda expected it.

Seriously earning $20k in 3 mths is much easier then winning a girls heart in 3 mths. Well but the truth remains that i still love her

True love is something money cannot buy..

Fear

2009-05-17T02:07:00.000-07:00

It seems like i really fear accountancy. its something i will avoid to the max.
Spend the afternoon mastering financial calculations, to prepare for tmr test, must do well for my fav module. acc and fp must get tha hang of it. other modules is the usual memorise and forget modules.aka using the RAM my brain

life

2009-05-16T00:07:00.000-07:00

time 3pm. sitting in front of my com. am i weird to stay home on weekends?

well life would really change with the special one, god pls send her soon..

Finally riding

2009-05-15T09:06:00.000-07:00

today clocked about 50km of cycling. Had a social ride with the np chaps. It was my first time as a ride leader and i think i done pretty well. Fwnr zipp by along us at lim chu kang rd. I wished i would be better terms with them and ride with them like a family. Target to build up the roadie by by bdae:)

Blogging twitter style

hiatus

2009-05-13T09:13:00.001-07:00

The frozen bottle of 100plus has been in my freezer for a week alr. this shows long i have not trained. well some guy just sms me saying he has the BMC frame i wanted, asking $950 , wtf?

Opposites

2009-05-13T04:53:00.001-07:00

Well pal im very happy for you:)

My Bike

2009-05-13T04:36:00.000-07:00

Actually i wanted to wait till another time to blog about this.
But i cannot study till i do it. so i have to say wad i wanna say.

I started road biking seriously this year, and i totally fell in love with it. It was a real kick man. Imagina going downhill at 70km/h ! Thats almost as fast as a car man. The feeling is better then sex i guess haha...

Soon i felt my roadbike was not good enuf as it kept giving me handling probs which affected my safety. So i sold it away too make way for a better one

NOW I HAVE NO BIKE ! WHICH MAKES ME FEEL TOTALLY PATHETIC. But i praying hard that god would allow some1 to sell me A BMC,CERVELO OR GIANT at a good price .. i just came back frm swissvalley today and was told they dun have the sie and colour i want:(

Starting out

2009-05-13T04:06:00.000-07:00

Well i tought to myself, instead of blogging my life to friends on msn, why not blog it here, this way i only need to say things once:) Hopefully by blogging it will be easier for me to reflect what i want in life

Now im in very distracted phrase of my life, without much goals and directions.

Firstly, i dun like to make new frens , i love to stick with my same old ppl for a lifetime. In year one , i had my fairfield buddies whom we stick together through every lunch. This year ,some of us changed course, all ended up if different classes. It felt as if everyone went their own way..... However i know true frens will always be there, so ill love to see how that unfold some day.

ill talk more shortly later:)

just too add miss my love , my roadbike
