Mountain Biking - 24 September

September 29, 2006

Biking on Sunday was really relaxed, we took our time, chit chatted midway, spent time actually taking notice of our surroundings. By the time we got back to the carpark, our legs just refused to work anymore. They’ve been punished the day before on the ride with the triple As’.

23 September 2006 - MTB Ride

September 24, 2006

There were 3 things that made our mountain biking ride today really enjoyable.

1. We finally got the helmut camera working, and captured some fantastic footage of the trail, fauna and downhills. Unfortunately batteries ran out before the boys headed to scorpion! i will compile something for everyone soon.

2. I tried my new litespeed for the first time, and i’m in love all over again. Besides the brakes being a bit spongey, the bike really lived up to its name. Titanium is really the way to go.

3. Great company of friends.The crew today: Myself, Wayne, Andrew, Janice, Andrea, Ching yi, Hansel and Shem.

Game plan: Get more roadies off the road and on to the mud & dirt
Keeping their spandex one-pieces and men “bikinis” at home, the gang came decently dressed for mountain biking. Tehehehe…

We brought the triple A’s on to the trails today, and i must say for beginners, Shem, Andrea and Ching yi did a magnificent job keeping their cool. A couple of endos, but nothing too serious. I just hope that hasn’t scared them from riding through BT again. Congratulations you three! Well done!

    The BIG news

    September 2, 2006


    I’ve been putting this post aside for awhile, was still contemplating on the consequences of it all. Should I blog about work or not? A lot of friends and family have asked me if I found a job…and I guess after explaining yourself 30 times, all you feel like saying is… “Yes”.

    So for the benefit of those who don’t know, I started work in May/June at Ogilvy Public Relations as a PR Associate. “Holy Guacamole!” why didn’t I go into Economics where the moolah is? Government, Banking, Finance, Trading, Broking?!!! Coz my degree IS in economics? Well plain and simple, I’ve realized that economics wasn’t my calling.

    It’s been great for the past 3 months; I came in knowing I had 2 friends in the building, Penny and Nick and I must thank them both for giving me prep work for my interview, and of course the moral support.

    Everyday, i come into work, and at 9 on the dot, my phone’s caller id will flash – PENELOPE PEREIRA. I pick up the phone and on the other end penny goes “Shall we?” and I’ll go “OK!” Every morning, we’ll go down to the Ya Kun Kaya Toast for our usual.

    “Auntie, our usual”
    “1 teh bing, 1 teh siew tai big cup da bao!”

    I’d just like to recap my first day here, i woke up, power dressed myself in a shirt, pants and killer heels. And those heels were really KILLER HEELS, coz they gave me blisters every single time i wore the.i never learn my lesson, i always hope shoes stretch in time… Check out the damage below. I’ve since then have thrown away those pair of shoes, and invested in new ones from Topshop and Zara.


    More about work in another post…for now…time to go mountain biking!
