Tired but satisfied!

Managed to clock in or is that cock in (???) some miles on Thursday.

0630 hrs -
Left for Indah Permai and return in 1 circuit. Distance 18kms. Nick was suppose to join me but the poor fella woke up late............ In the end, I cycled alone.

1945 hrs -
The weather looked fine for change and Nick and myself cycled from home to our normal group meeting point at Dr. Philip Lyn's clinic. Boy, there were about 8 other enthusiastic bikers who also needed the mileage just like me! ha.....ha...

Headed for Signal Hill for then for The Peak for some hill climbing. Puff....puff.........felt the strain as have not been cycling regularly recently. Must swear off the ciggies (Mild 7 for your info) Bad for health. BUT, how do you stop smoking if you've ben at it for 2 decades or so? Fook!

From The Peak to Sembulan and then to QEH and then Lido, Penampang followed by Cottage Pub and then the gang went back to station while Nick and myself went back via the Lintas highway and then back home. Total distance 45 kms............. Phew.......................

Went to Labuan this morning. The fooking flight was at 0720 hrs so I had to wake up at 0530 hrs. Groggy like shit.............. Met up with some customers and also met up with Eric for lunch who just bought a fooking brand new car! Only two units in Sabah!

Don't normally buy beer but made an exception to the rule this trip and got a six pack of Fosters and VB.

Flew back on the 1540 hrs flight and luckily there was no delay. Unfortunately there weren't much birds to view. Must make it a point to muster my long lost courage to chat some birds up! ahem......clears throat...... ha..ha.....

Happy weekend everybody and have a good one. Cheers!

Duh.....thanks to the weather......

Boy, am I feeling pissed!

I can't seem to get a ride with the bloody freakin wet weather we are experiencing now! It's been raining almost every evening............ I have not cycled for at least 2 weeks if my memory serves me right.

In fact last night being a Tuesday night where the gang normally gather to ride in the evenings was a total wash out. I was pumping air into the Continental Explorer Supersonics and checking the batteries in the lights and was about to change into my sexy tights and jersey when all hell breaks loose! Shit........................................?????*********** Thanks a lot Mr. Weather......you've been a great help.........duh.....

Anyway, I am going to wake up at 0600 hours tomorrow morning and go for a 16km ride to Indah Permai and back. I hope the weather will be kinder to me............... Thinking about doing another epic ride but when one has not cycled regularly and consistently, you will get not only a headache but also balls ache at your groin...........ha..ha..LOL!!!!!

And by the way Shan, if you are reading this, how do I invite you to my blog as a contibutor?

That's it. Leaving the office in 10 minutes.

73's everybody.................................

Back home!

Just came back from business trip in the East Coast.

Bloody flight was delayed for about 3 hours! Thanks a lot Malaysia Airlines! Was bored like shit and I did not feel like whipping out the notebook or files to get some work done. TGIF weekend blues mates!

Decided on a better way to pass time. Bird watching! Ahem......there were lots of chicks around.....and well there's no harm in admiring them from a distance right.?????..........!!!!!! ha...ha........ LOL!

In the end got bored woth the birds as the birds were not in the mood to play.......so to speak..... Tried to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzz..... but the airport departure lounge chairs weren't comfortable at all. In fact after doing some maneuvering with my body postures, I had a back ache!!!!!!

That's my update for now.

As usual looking forward to the weekend to unwind........... Hmmmm... have not cycled for the whole week.......my Stumpy misses me and vice versa......Must make it a point to ride this weekend..... I need the exercise.......................... ha....ha.......

Happy weekend David, Lily and you too Shan.........

In memory................

Am currently travelling out of town on business.

Just got the news this afternoon while having lunch with a close friend that his 15 year old daughter left us last month due to illness. Out of respect for my bereaved friend's privacy, n0 names will be mentioned.

I am deeply troubled and sad for his loss and it got me wondering.......why......why........she had her whole life to look forward to...................................???

I fervently hope my friend will remain strong and cherish the memories that she left..... Life goes on but it is easy for me to say so........................Tears came to my friend's eyes and mine too when he shared his pain with me............................. It was very difficult for me to see my friend break down.......................

It's difficult to describe in words how I feel presently.....

Rest in peace dear .....................................

Frustration!

Been trying to put a link in the side bar but just can't seem to find it. The help pages do NOT help at all. duh...................

Time to get some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......If the weather holds and IF I can wake up early tomorrow, will take my girlfriend Stumpy out for a ride. Minimum 20kms. I need the bloody exercise!

Stumpy is my lovely and sexy flat black full suspension bicycle. She's called Stumpy for short but her full name is Specialized Stumpjumper Pro. She's from the 2004 model line up and she's wonderful. What more can one ask from a gal like her? She cost me a bomb and it makes me wonder if I'm trying to relive my childhood days! Carefree and without worries.........

Ok that's it folks.

Signing off and 73's all round.

OK! Play mode is ON!

Ok. managed to send the invitation to Lily and David.

We'll see if this blog actually takes off! ha..ha...

Today was a beautiful Saturday. Great for biking but gots some loose ends to tie and if the weather holds tomorrow will try to bike to Rasa Ria Resort. That's about 50kms in total from Kingfisher.

That's it. Signing off...........73's to all. (73 in ham radio speak is best regards. If I were to say 88, that's for love and kisses. This is an international code used worldwide in ham radio lingo. To those dirty minded fellas like me.........69 is not acceptable in ham radio lingo.......ha....ha.....)

Chow for now.

Learning the ropes.

My first blog!

Not even sure what I'm doing right now........ha...ha....

Thanks David for the invitation to your blog and now....my own blog?! duh......
