Racing Footrest and Exhuast System
c0mments!
Skipped work again last Tuesday, like the previous Tuesday, to go to Sin Boon for some modification. Mainly i went there with CJ cause he wanted to service his valve systems, piston etc. But the day before the day we went there, i thought of getting something for myself as well.
Thinking again about the time when Ama told me to remove the stopper in my exhaust, i told him i dont need to modify anything to make my bike fast. "All it takes is guts. Guts to pull the throttle during in a corner. Guts to brake later than usual." This is the exact words that i told him.
I remembered the time i raced with some Chinese guys who cut passed me along Devils Bend on Upper Thompson. I use these techiques, together with other techniques that i have learnt, successfully overtook he 2 full modified SP when that time it was only 3 weeks i took my bike out of workshop.
However, last Tuesday i did my modification to my exhuast pipe. I feel the Devil living inside of me. Anytime anyday i will speed. 130kmh doesnt mean anything much to me anymore. The thirst of more power keep arising.
CJ took this new footrest. Cool. Nice. BECAUSE IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MINE. Advise him like i always do. Know where to corner, know where not to.

Lost at Woodland and Jurong
c0mments!
I came back work from lunch, went for a smoke with Andrew, my manager. Then he told me that he had posted a wrong passport to his wife at Thailand. He was supposed to send his baby boy's passport. So he asked me whether i got an extra helmet. I said no, but i told him that we got a new staff that is riding a Phantom. So he borrow that guy's helmet and we went off at 12.
From Toh Tuck i took PIE then BKE wanting to exit Woodlands Ave 12. But that the fuck we reached Woodlands Causeway. I forgot that Woodlands Ave 12 exit was at SLE not BKE. So nevermind we took a detour back to Sembawang where he stayed.
We reached Sembawang at 1.10, then proceed back to Jurong. We went from Woodlands Ave 12, BKE, KJE, PIE. What the fuck again. I didnt see any Toh Guan or Toh Tuck exit. Then i just ride ahead until i saw Corporation Road and i know we were at Jurong West. SO nvm, he asked me exit and the next thing i knew we were at Jln Bahar. We made a wrong detour again, heading to Jurong Point, then i U-turned and reached IBP at 2.00pm =D
2.00pm he asked me out for a smoke. He gave me a stern warning not to tell this to anyone. An "incentive" he gave to me for helping was that i can go home at 3.45pm today. =D. Then he asked me what i will be doing after internship. I said i wait till NS, which will be around 4-5 mths time. He told me to come back for $8/hr 8hours per day 5 days a week. I will consider my options

1 more year of riding
c0mments!
Yesterday i and my gf took MRT to Sembawang, walk from Sembawang to NorthLink Building to collect my bike. I spent near $400 with full servicing and my motovation swingarm slider.
Changed my piston, piston ring, plugs engine oil, harden my fork and suspension. After all this has been done, i have pledge another year with my bike.
Need to ride at 80km for 1000km. How long will it take from Yishun to my workplace at Jurong in that case? How long will it take from Jurong to Serangoon? What the fuck man! But nvm. Ive rode for 50km, i only got 950km to go..

Play, Lean, Fall and BREAK A TOOTH
c0mments!
Ytd for the first time in my life i fall like shit as Kai's pillion. We were on the way from SPC going to Yishun Industrial to follow Kai get his mirror. I took Kai's bike as my bike was at SPC for carb servicing.
After making a right turn near Blk 210 Yishun Street 21, he played zig zag. And i admit i followed after he stop.
His Story: He hit Ama as he lost control of his bike right after the last zig zag.
My Story: He fall because he steered too fast to avoid Ama.
I was on my way home from Serangoon ytd when i think of how it happen.
Yes he and me was playing zig zag. But what position did it hit Ama. Ama admitted he felt Kai's arm. When he hit Ama, Ama could stop and break, didnt even moved right way( he hit Ama from left). At this position meaning to say Kai's bike was straight, thats y it didnt make Ama fly to the right. Meaning to say after that zig zag he was in control of the bike as he hit Ama his bike was straight.
So what made him fall? He hit Ama, trying to avoid Ama, counter steered to fast, fall like a piece of shit. I open up comments for this issue.

Right-of-way, Got Hit, But Doesnt Want To Claim Even With Witness
c0mments!
Let me just run through my day ytd. Tear paper and pick up calls. Thats all. But what interest me is after i prepared for work and went down to my carpark, i saw Kai waving at me in the distance with a unknown stranger beside me.
I went forward to him and asked him why his not at camp as its already 8 o'clock. He said he was hit at Lentor and the guy with him, was the witness. Kai explained to me what happen but i give a heck to his story as he doesnt know how to tell stories properly. So i asked his witness.
The car was going straight ahead, from Lentor to the road beside Khatib MRT. Kai was from the road from Khatib MRT, turning right. As explained, the car was going straight was on red light and she beats it. Green arrow (not even blinking green arrow) was for Kai to move. He moved as was hit by the right side of the car. The witness was going to cross the road at that point of time. He approached Kai to report and wanted to note down the car number plate but Kai doesnt want to. So
STUPID!
I called him a jackass and went for work.

Reporting time 8.00am Reached at 9am
c0mments!
Escorted Kai early morning to SAFTI as its considerably near to my workplace, charged him $14 including the 2T he promised to buy me for taking care of his bike. He rode too slow that i was late to work.
At work, my day was like everyday. Pick up calls, read people blogs, friendster and stomp.com.sg. But what interest me most is at the end of the day before 5 mins i punched out and get out of my office.
Someone rushed back in the office and asked his neighbour for his umbrella. I didnt notice much of what he said, i pack my stuff and walked by the walkway when Andrew looked at me and said, "For those riding bike, take extra careful its raining heavily, i want to see u tomorrow". I looked out of the window and cant even see properly through the heavy rain.
Wore my raincoat and pants, along my way from Jurong to Serangoon all im thinking about is my dad, my gf and my supervisor from MOM, Andrew. In my heart i told myself i need to reach Serangoon safely so i dont need MC tomorrow, I cant make Dad disappointed. I want to wake up tml and lick my JI TOOT!
Reached Serangoon garden at 6.30pm. I got a private number from someone around 8.15pm. "Helo! I want to order Tandoori chicken." Knowing its a prank from one of my friends, i played along and said, "Dey! Mumbai da! India!" He gave me another call and i said, "Mumbai da, pundek!" Then he gave another call, this time i let him talk, shockingly, he said, "Ju, this is Andrew, your supervisor from MOM." I was like OMG OMG Shit Shit. Lol. But hes ok with it, so no hard feelings.
After work i went straight home, CTE SLE like i always go. Exiting Lentor, i noticed that im the only bike going at 110kmh and theres no chances that any bike can follow me from behind. Futhermore, there was heavy traffic exiting Lentor Ave. I dropped by a gear increase my speed, exiting Lentor Ave, check my blindspot and notice there is a blardy bike tailing me from behind.
I slowed down, he slowed down. AT the traffic light near Yishun Stadium, saw him and his bike. GSX K7 model. How can he possibly squeeze together with me when i squeeze lorry and a car so close that i only i can managed but the bike with his size cant? Pro, Pro biker..
Counting Saiful money that he made me keep for him, its nearing $150. His dream of getting bike after he pass TP is getting closer and closer.. Good Luck, Fool.

Most things happen the way i wanted
c0mments!
Tracking back about my generation, my grandfather was from part of Indonesia with heavy Islamic practices. My dad was taught some before he passed away and he told me before that we can do things most people cant.
I didnt believe him as i was still young at that time. But as i grew up, i know the special things that he has. He could somehow sense things which is going to happen on the people close to our family, he can sense whatever we are doing anywhere and everywere. But all he can do is he can advise without giving a hint that that will happen to the guy. It happened to Merv. =) Who asked him not to believe it.
For me and my siblings, we do not have what our dad and granddad have. But i was told we can do is that whenever people has done bad deeds to us, our curses on them are for real.
Cool eh?!1st of October 2007, Aaron came to Keling's house. That point of time he had already broke off with Keling as Keling was with me ever since her birthday. 2-3 weeks later he and his GF come Khatib and blamed Keling for looking for him. What a bastard. But its ok. I know myself best and i know how to deal with things. Keling was wrong. When they came down to Khatib, we talk awhile and slapped my gf. I my heart i swore my life that i slapepd my gf and i make sure they get hit back hard.
Decision i make are usually harsh but effective to get his people of my ass. DOnt play with me or the next day who wont wake up. This is what happened.
Be Thankful You Are Not Dead
