rarr cant sleep...
Friday, March 21, 2008
okay so i forgot to get the fan turning before i went to bed and then i woke up early in the morning, hot like mad... well, u'd if u spent 9 weeks in the middle of 3 ceiling fans turned to turbo speed haha... then the mutton murtarbark plus my cycle to yishun today made my throat super dry, couldnt ignore the pangs of thirst and lack of ventilation so i went to the kitchen to get a cup of water... which unfortunately, also wanst enuf to quench the funny thirsty senasation in my throat even tho my stomach was bloated...
oh well, i guess god loves joel tan... wake me up so early cuz i'm supposed to go help him inspect his bike... but its only 4 AM!!! oh well, i went to try to fix the badly aligned brake pads on my shiny new rims to no avail, still out of alignment despite my repeated tries to make them behave, guess i'll just bring to uncle pro say oon's shop near saint hilda's. oh ya just to sidetrack, there was this uncle changing his bike tires and he sold me his old pair for $10 a set (a steal cuz inner tubing were included and brand new they are $60 and only used for 6 months, mine are like 6 years old). so ya after doing a bit of devotion... i decided i should calculate how much my bike is worth now, after the years of zhnging it... like how i did with my tamiya cars, a $12.90 tamiya car can be worth $150 odd in like no time without me realising it haha... keep buying parts here and there to fix... =D and boy did the figure scare the crap out of me! and i really want to thank god for alvin man, like 3/4 of the stuff on my bike is like given by him man! stuff which i'd never haf the money to buy, so ya, lets check it out - prices are for the parts when they were brand new, of course most are like 5-8 years old now haha... And since i'm sooooo bored, i'll include links to the terms for pictures if you ever wanted to know what the terms mean. of cuz there are some stuff which i cant get the exact pics of so i shall not try... =D
