Although i do not know who they are
But there is one thing that i know for sure
Their tailwhips and barspins are way too sweeeeeeeeet!

.

28 Aug

Had a intense revision of 5 chapters
Actually planned to revise for the 6th chapter
However, felt really drained after killing so much brain cells after 5 chapters
Went out to ride with Ashley only at 925
Been there the whole day
While i was leaving home to prepare for HY birhtday celebration, saw WJ and company
Alright, WeiMing is officially with them
Haiz
Washed up and rushed to meet Zac
Met up with the rest and waited for the magic hour to arrive at MacDonald
Alright, in the mean time, my mobilephone was abduct by Zac and Andy
There goes a series of embarrassment ~ ~ ~
About 15 min before 12, headed over to HY's voideck
LOLZ, her face was full of surprise when she saw us
Slacked at a few place, her voideck, 633 rope obstacle and lastly the voideck beside it
Surprisingly, no policeman screened us despite of our "volume"
Sent HY home and the rest of us slacked in MacDonald
Home @ 5.30

29 Aug

Did revision for only 2 chapters as i am being complacent
Lolz
As usual, in the evening went out to ride with BoonPin
As we are riding aimlessly, we came to a bike shelter
Had really nothing better to do, therefore locked my 2k bike there and sat on one corner to observe who wanna steal
Haha
There was a dubious uncle keep staring at my bike for the whole 20 min
In the end, he walked off
Lolz
Went to woodlands for fun and came back for some soya refresh
Gerald came and BoonPin left
Rode at 925 and slack at 600+
About 2+ headed back home

25 Aug

Officially the start of my year 2 sem 1 examination
First paper was manageable with only one question that stumbled me
Felt so great after the first paper
However, there are 3 more to go...

26 Aug

History repeated?

This has nothing to do with my first paper
Stayed at home for the whole day for revision
Had a periodically occurring pain in my right lumbar region...
Argh...

27 Aug

2nd paper
Heart pain as i missed out one part to study
Question regarding that came out
Use my long lost skill of bombing
Felt so light now after this paper
Alright the pain still persist...
Maybe i contracted liver failure?
But then my urine should be reddish brown in colour
So whats wrong???
Rode alone in the evening
I am one step closer to tailwhip
Left with the most important part which is the pedal...
Rode with BoonPin about 10+ to his favourite place
Sembawang Beach...
Back to Yishun and had supper at 925
There was a bunch of hooligans beside us exclaiming vulgarities as if the coffee shop was their fathers'
One of the couple had fun pushing each other and fell beside us
Stared at them and finally marked the stop of their nonsense
Home about 1+

This particular rider let me think of one rider i know
I guess you will know who it is once you watch
Their style is the almost the same except tailwhip and barspin
Hahah

23 Aug

Woke up in the morning and my injury got worse
Have lots of difficulties rolling on my bed and bending up and down
Planned to do some revision however was jeopardised by my frustration over those spywares in my laptop...
Spent the whole afternoon finding for remedies
Installed Spybot, Malwarebyte and Kaspersky
Left my laptop on for scanning while my bro and i headed over to Northpoint to have dinner
Got back the scanning was finally done
Reboot it and my problem was finally solved
Thx Andy for those recommendation

24 Aug

Left 2 chapters from XWJ to study
But was complacent for the whole day
Only glanced through awhile in the afternoon
Received a least expected call
It was from Mdm Mah
What the hell, how did she managed even to find my blog...
Alright, it's regarding the misjudgement marking post i posted
Slept for the rest of day
Only got serious with revision at 10
Good Luck to myself tomorrow
Gee gee gee gee gee...

20 Aug

Officially the first day of the 7th month
The weather seems to change drastically, in other words i mean cooling
Is it due to the presence of supernatural stuff or just a coincidence?
Haha
Although i dont believe, it is still creepy to ride alone in the night
Traces of abandoned semi-burn candles, joss stick and paper in every corner of the roads
Not to forget the cold breeze
Haha
These always create a wild thought in our minds where scenes from horror movies come true
Those "stuff" sniffing joss stick to have their meal...

However, this doesnt stop me from riding
Rode with Naz, Andy and his friend
Had to be cautious with the burning remains on the ground
It is always better safe than sorry
Headed to bottle tree village to relax
Home about 11.30

21 Aug

Had revision for the whole day
Evening rode alone at 925
Attempted umpteen times of bunnyhop hang5
Just couldn't get it right...
Home about 10+

22 Aug

Almost the same routine everyday
Did revision in the afternoon and rode in the evening
Managed to asked Naz out
Alright, something bad happened to me
Sprained my spine while doing a 180
Ever since i am in the bmx scene, this was the first time i injured my spine doing a 180
Grrr....
Must be the 7th month
Haha
Neh... I am not that superstitious
BoonPin came and we headed over to cheers to slack
About 11 Naz left and we went to get ourselves some supper
Headed over to Park connector leading to Sembawang beach
While we were enjoying our food
Encountered a dilemma situation
There were 2 strangers walking out of the connector, one male and one female
The female seems to be semi conscious and struggling to keep her balance
While the male is a bangala
We were worried about the female who may have fall into the bangala's trap
However, we did nothing ):
Get ourselves some drinks and slack outside cheers at 100+
There was this cat over there to entertain us



Met Andy and his friends
According to them, the rain is coming towards our direction
Chit chatted for awhile and it started drizzling
This was a signal for us to get home
Scurried home
Nevertheless, got caught in the middle of the downpour on the way home
Reached home about 1 with whole body drenched

19 Aug

Actually there is no more lesson
Headed back to school just to check our test paper and vaccination
Something absurd and ridiculous happened
Never believe this type of human error could actually happened in this polytechnic

(Content removed)

Alright forget it
Had vaccination, whole arm felt strained and discomfort
Nevertheless, had some photo shooting session in SP with my bike
Haha
Thanks to our cameraman Sathish
Can't wait to have those photos which are about 400+
Lolz

15 Aug

Got a hair cut in the afternoon
Shouldn't put it as hair cut as it's the same as before it was cut

Managed to only ask Naz out for a ride at 925
Home about 11

16 Aug

Basically stayed at home for the whole day
Glanced through my presentation slides for Environmental Science test
Did not take it seriously
As already drained off from a seriatim of tests for the past weeks
Moreover, it is MCQ format
In the evening, planned to set myself to relax by going out for a ride
However, was dissappointed by the sudden arrival of torrent in my area...

17 Aug

Suffered from insomnia last night
Slept last than 3 hours
Attended the lesson at 9am and regretted
Already did self revision on that topic...
Spent 4 hours in library watching singapore idol audition
Lolz
Some of their singings and behaviours were amusing and entertaining
Had the test at 4pm
This test contained lots of loopholes for us to exchange answers...
Why not?
Hahahah
Result was out immediately
I could say overall for this module is an B for me :(
Back home took a nap and started revision about 8 till now

18 Aug

Had the bloody Anatomy test
All our feelings were cheated
Topic that was said not to come out came out
Lecturer is not trustworthy...
Had lunch at pizzahut as a PTN outing
All the stuff we ordered were on the house
Something miserable happened to my pizza
Here are some of the pictures that speak for it

Slice of pizza being spammed cheese


Same slice with additional meat


Smiley face pizza


Cool dude pizza smoking (Haha) is a straw


Rode alone in the evening
Got frustrated with my 360

Can't wait to bring my bike to school tomorrow
(:

Just browsing around bmx webby and came across this fresh how-to-tailwhip video
A classic example of doing a tailwhip without an effort from the foot
Personally still prefer some kicking actions in a whip as it makes tailwhip faster and cleaner

13 Aug

Skipped lesson in the morning and attended the afternoon lesson
The lesson in the afternoon should not be called lesson
It was a "tips giving" session
Lecturer went through all topic and emphasised on important parts
Therefore, more or less we have pin pointed questions that will be tested
Back home, received a news that i least wanted to hear
That is mindmaps for all chapters of pathology must be inspected by BEN YANG!!!
What the hell, got limited time for revision and now this
Nevertheless, did 2 chapters and exchanged for another 2 chapters with my friend
Work smart, don't work hard
Lolz


Mugging for pathology test!!!
Some how do not like this feeling of diffident when it comes to examination period...

14 Aug

Woke up by a message alert instead of alarm clock
Stomach felt pain abruptly, scurried to the toilet in a split second
Must be the combination of fish curry and chocolate milk from yesterday supper
Haha
In a nutshell, pathology test was managable, just that did not met my target of 80% :(
However,there were 3 ridiculous questions added into the test as giveaway
Still remember the question vividly

First ridiculous question

Who taught you Basic Pathology?
1) Mr Yang
2) Mr Neo
3) Mr Tan
4) Mr Woo

Which of the following is pathological?

1) Sun rised from the east
2) SP DBS produces awesome graduates
3) The universal of healthcare and education
4) Mr Yang did not get his well-deserved promotion

And lastly

How would you grade Basic Pathology from 0-10, 10 being the favourite academic module?
1) 10
2) 10
3) 10
3) 10

Was caught surprise when i came upon these questions
Lolz
Didn't know that SP lecturer is so humourous
Back home
Felt fatigue being in school for the whole afternoon
This did not stop me from riding in the evening
Rode with Naz and Melvin at 925
BoonPin came and we slacked infront of cheers
Home about 11+

9 Aug

While everyone was planning and preparing for programme for National day
I locked myself inside my room mugging for my tests and exams
Haha
Nerd hoh
Haha
In the evening planned to ride town
However, none of my bike friends were free...
What i did in the evening was what you will never guess correctly
I played BADMINTON with BoonPin and ChenLok
Haha
I guess i cant really get into badminton again
After so much of bmx, my ankle became fragile
Was so prone to spraining while chasing after the shuttles
Almost sprained thrice
After lights off
Chit Chatted for awhile before heading home at 12+

10 Aug

Continued from yesterday
Still mugging
Haha
Have no choice
Too many infomation to memorise for tests and exams
Going to be busy till 2nd of Sep where my exam is over
Evening rode with Naz and WeiMing at 925
The pain on my wrist is getting worse
Could it be my ligament(s) being broken?
Home about 10+

11 Aug

Found out from my schoolmates that GemBio test falls on tomorrows
Lolz
Really bewildered
After refering to the calendar, it was my miscalculation of date
Haha
Got back home and took a "short" nap
Started revision from 4pm
Burnt midnight oil till 12+
In fact, half of the time i was chatting online
Haha
I guess it helped me to tranquilise my mind
Finally turned in at 2am

12 Aug

Quite happy for my performance on GemBio test
Did not have much uncertainties
Left for home and of course sleep...
Forced myself to revise for Pathology even though it was a MCQ test on friday
Out of curiousity, searched the library for past year paper question
Four words to say...
I AM A GONER
What the hell!
Most of the questions on pathology test our ability to diagnose a particular illness for the given infomation
As for what we have learnt is totally irrelevant
Nevertheless, if there is a will, there is a way
Do not want to forward module
Haha
Evening rode alone...
Met up with BoonPin
Coincidentally, saw Andy and his friend
Joined them and slacked
Home about 11+

What wrong with the internet connection these few days
Seems to be very slow...
Its getting on my nerves

6 Aug

Took the train as usual to school
Something expected happened
My train was supposed to cross over to the greenline via Jurong East
However, it continued to the middle platform
Lots of people were puzzled
Doors opened, what reached my eyes was countless number of commuters immobiled on the platform
Almost could not move
Why?
According to my friend, there was a train down and was being pulled slowly by another train
At this moment i knew i am late for sure
The only way was to reduced amount of time waste in that station
Therefore, crossed over to another platform to board the opposite direction train and rebounced back
HAHA
In the end was 25min late for class
Some of my friends were worse still
Late for 1hr 30min and according to him the service was still delayed
Haha
I guess this is what best passenger experience was like
Had haematology test
As the test was conducted online, some of my friend wiki-ed it for answer
What the hell
Came back home about 3
Took afternoon nap
Revised for MetBio till 1am...
-.-

7 Aug

Had MetBio test today
Paper was moderate
Skipped my afternoon lesson and rushed back home to have my sleep
Woke up about 1pm and met up with Serene
What I anticipated was true
She is currently into some network marketing sort of stuff and want to expose me to this opportunity
Of course i rejected, as I know my personality will not strive in this environment
Nevertheless, chit chated and reminisced about our life
Only then realised how time flies since we were classmate
Accompanied her to do some window shopping
Found myself landed in DMK
My ex-colleague happened to be working her shift there
Really glad that she still remembers me despite losing contact for 3 years
Left for home about 5
Evening headed down to somerset skatepark
The scene there was totally opposite from what we thought
Park was packed with all types of extreme enthusiasts
Only had chance to touch the euro
Still struggling to catch my pedal for tailwhip
Nearly fracture my index finger in a bail from tailwhip
Could not play anymore after that fall
Lights off headed over to ledge kind of spot where we went last week too
Not in the condition achieve the tricks i attempted
Boarded the last train back to Yishun and joined ZhengJie and 2 of his friends from Hougang
Home about 4.30

8 Aug

Schedule for the day was to revise for Basic Patholoy which is the demanding module for this semester
Althought it is the most oppressive one, it is one of my favourite module
Could not finish revising, as i headed over to ToaPayoh to pay my grandmother a visit
Had a sumptuous and filling dinner over there
Back home about 10+
Continued my revision till now and finished

3 Aug

Despite revised quite hard for MetBio
Today's paper i think i flunked
Missed out one of the pathway for fatty acid
This caused me a bomb as the question weighs 20marks
Nevermind, no point crying over spilled milk
Took a short nap in the afternoon
Evening rode with Ashley, Naz and WeiMing at 396 slope if i am not wrong
After umpteen tries, finally pulled off 180 footjam tailwhip
Headed to Neen Soon East Park
Wrist started to feel acute pain again
No choice but to slack
Chit chatted till 11 before heading home

4 Aug

Had haematology lesson, lecturer showed us a video on bone marrow aspiration
I am sure you will think twice for bone marrow donation
The instrument is so thick and had to thrust through your hip bone (iliac)
After lesson headed towards the library to watch video that will be tested in one of the modules
While we were waiting to book a room
Came across some books on display
Flipped through some pages and ended up on a page showing gruesome explicit sexual transmitted disease infected genital organ
One of my friend left it open on display
Lolz
We hide in one corner and observed the crowd expression as they passed
So hilarious
Evening rode with Ashley, WeiMing and ChengHwee if i remembered correctly at 925
Tan came later and we headed to ShengSiong
Home about 11

5 Aug

Actually could pon schooling today as only had 1 hr lesson
However, had Industrial training program (ITP) balloting to attend in the afternoon
Was really fortunate to get into the hospital and department i wish to enter
It is Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Histopathology department
Although no allowance is given, what a sad case, i think it will be a very interesting and fruitful experience
What Histopathology about???
Lolz it is something to observe every part of a human body that can be biopsy under a microscope
The only disadvantage is i may end up contracting cancer after the ITP
Why?
Because cyanide or xylene not sure which one is/are used for fixation which is/are carcinogenic
Therefore, have to wear like astronaut suit in the lab
Came back from school and went out for a short ride
Home about 7.30
Ate dinner and started revision for tomorrow's test

1 Aug

Planned to do some revision in the afternoon
Yup i did but not that seriously
Did less than one chapter
Do not know why?
Only will have the urge to study when tests or exams are approaching
Guess i am those 'burn mid night oil' type
About 5 met up with Zac and headed down to Bishan skatepark
Met some riders
One of them is quite skilled for his age category
Spent most of my time in the bowl
Not in the condition to train, therefore falling was inevitable
As the lighting around the bowl were not switched on, i headed to the park
Over there Zac and i were approached by some Ministry of Education (MOE) personnel
They requested us to perform some tricks for them to capture for MOE
Lolz
Of course we were diffident about it as our skill were not stupendous yet
Nevertheless, we still did some air, grind and tailwhip?
Haha
Bryson and one of his friend, Desmond came
We left Zac at the park and headed for street in Ang Mo Kio
We managed to earn ourselves some fanatics
Lolz why?
Cos Bryson did a short manuel and there were 3 kids by the side screaming all the way as they were amazed
Bryson and Desmond continued to perform to entertain those kids
I was wondering what if i were to pull a 180?
Did that and they were excited to the peak
Was laughing inside my heart Lolz
Wandered around and found ledge to grind
Soon headed back to AMK station
Slacked there till Zac came
Home about 11.30

2 Aug

Did some revision although is a open book test for tomorrow
Late afternoon headed down to Northpoint to desposit cash
Wandered around the mall and finally home at 6+
Evening rode with Simon and Naz only at 925
Every tricks seems difficult for me to pull off
Not sure whether was it i am too wore off from yesterday trip to bishan skatepark
After refreshing ourselves, we headed to 156
Trained till 10+
Home

X Games Qualifying round street course
OMG
All sort of technical to hardcore tricks can be found in this video
My opinion for this Qualifying round is hardcore is what you need to win
Why?
Despite lots of high standard tricks did by many riders
Ty Morrow still managed to capture the 4th placing just performing 360 and 180 down multiple stairs?
As for Garrett Reynolds he is still the defending champion :)

28 July

Rode with Ashley, Simon, ChengHwee and WeiMing at 925
Followed by 730
And 711 bench
Lastly, TPK
Home about 10+
Nothing interesting to mention

29 July

HAHA
Today became a bad boy
Skipped my 1hr lesson
Which means i poned school today
Lolz
If I went for that lesson, I would have lost 2 hrs of my precious time travelling back and forth
Stayed at home whole day
Priority was to revise for Haematology
However, was addicted to certain japanese drama
Just when i controlled myself to stop watching and start revision
I fell asleep
Lolz
Woke up about 2+
Continued to watch drama
Only started revision about 4+
Managed to cover only 1 chapter
Lolz
Evening rode with BoQuan, Naz, Din, ZhengJie, XiaoKang, WeiMing and ChengHwee
Home about 11

30 July

Almost died in school
Could not sleep properly last night as i was being squeezed
Slept last than 2 hrs
Had a 8 to 6 day
Dozed off in most of the class
Eyes almost poped out again in Haematology practical
Luckily our group was known for fabricating results
Therefore did not have to count every single cells
Lolz
Evening actually wanted to ride
However on the way to 925
My rear tyre was being thrusted by an estimated 7cm stick

What a gargantuan hole right?
Sian headed back home
Initially, when i took out the stick, it was only 1.5cm
Until the next day, when i replace my tyre and tube, to my surprise, there was a remaining portion of 5.5cm inside the tube!

31 July

What a hectic day for me
Initially, did not want to attend school
However, as there is a need to replace new tyre
So just headed to school and later down to 20incho
Got back home, changed tyre and tube
Rushed to pumped air first followed by Zac's house to exchange tools
After then, flew to Admiralty to get bikebag from WeiYong
Came back home, washed up myself and met Din, Naz, Ashley and Simon at Yishun mrt
Surprisingly, all of us managed to get in
Reached Somerset skatepark and met a pro rider named WeiLun
Had a tailwhiping lesson
He gave me lots of tips on how to pull off tailwhip
Also had some air-ing session, almost fell a few times
Lights off at 10
Skatepark when lights off

Skatepark when lights off 2

Headed to the core of orchard and played on this spot

Enjoyed playing here, as you will have lots of spectators
Lolz
About 11+, boarded the last train
Lolz everyone was glancing at our bike bag
Some pictures in the train
Naz on his bike

Din avoiding my camera Lolz

Shag?

Not shag?

Someone snapped me

Our bike blocked the route to another coach

Home about 1am
