Mr Nate's Birthday!

Mr Nate turns 2! (ok.. not until wed though!) but we had a fun fun celebration with him yesterday! Maye-e held a party at her house with good food and company! Almost everyone was there! it's only then i realise i have not seen them for SOOOOO long.. haha kinda missed them! Everyone was so energetic and funny esp Sandy who was especially high! you can go see my facebook about it. how she pose with the Dino's broken head! haha..

Mr Nate was so indifferent initially but he got into the spirit shortly after (that's kids!) We were all eating and chatting (about tri stuff again.. what else?) haha. then we went to the playground to play sparklers and play with the workout stations! damn fun.. hahaa.. everyone was like a child.. haha.

LET ME SHOW U MR NATE'S CAKE.. it's very nice and special!





THE WHOLE SESAME STREET IS DOWN! haaha super cool. i also want this for my birthday cake.

haha.. gotta head home early cause i have to wake up to go cycling today! but the whole party was fun and i think my abs are so painful from laughing!


you guys rock!

Ride today

Right. this morning i was suppose to wake up at 545 and start riding at 615 to meet the gang at 7am at longhouse (which is about 20km away). but i only woke up at 615 and left the house at 630. so i was kinda late! haha sorry folks!

but the ride was cool. big gang. i think there were about... 8 - 10 of us. the ride down mandai feels good! After repeated hills training, my climbing improved slightly! yeah Mt Faber was no easy shit. suffered on my way up and since my cornering ain't that fantastic, my coming down wasn't too smooth. haha. i only climbed once! wanted to go 2nd time but the faster guys went on their 2nd round already and the other group didn't wanted to go. and i don't want to climb by myseslf! haha. maybe another time!

but climbing is fun! it just takes your breath away. the lactic in your thighs just burn your soul! when i am climbing, the image of a Tour De France rider always coming to my mind (i.e Lance Armstrong). i've always admired my tenacity and strength.. so i am gonna train real hard for climbing! and of course, i need to get lighter wheels (Bumblebee need to go for TAF programme). Simple physics. The lighter your bike is, the easier it is to climb. of course, there are other factors such as your technique and power which need to be train! right now, i am still thinking between 404 and 606. still got time!

This brings me to the topic of Ash's 808 debut! you can fall asleep while riding beside him. as what i said (as i was too excited then), you can see the sound! it's so rhythmic to the ears as if they are singing to you. they just go "zong zong zong zong"... NICE!! mine will come very soon. not 808 of course.. because it's more for longer courses.

i am starting to love cycling (i used to like). or maybe because it's good for my injury and it provides me with a stronger challenge!
