Change again!

The bike is breaking down soon! and soon means between 2wks to 1 mth as diagnosed by my faithful mechanic. In financial planning terms this means it got hit by critical illness, cancer sounds proper. it will get well but it will need alot of money. so much that if i just top up a lil more, i'll be able to get a decent 2nd hand bike, and adding more, i'll could even get a new one.

So here are the options.

1. Get a cheap 2nd hand that'll last for 3 more years - yamaha novo $800

2. Get an new expensive slightly bigger bike - sym 200cc $7000

3. Get an new not so expensive, cute scooter - yamaha fino $5000

P/S: these are times where i hope all money problems will go away.

Not for the faint hearted

Am watching Man vs Wild and just saw the man caught a small trout by hand. he was at a stream and as trouts like to rest behind rocks, he used a primitive fishing technique where he slowly guided his hands from the bottom of the rocks and thus press the fish against the rock, then slowly moved it up out of the water. Interesting! A definite must try if possible.

Now heres the thing - he bit of the head of the fish(still alive and kicking) and cleaned out the guts and after a quick wash, downed the rest of the fish raw, and he exclaimed it was like sushi.

The initial part of me was disgusted but strangely and most weird of all(i scared myself even) the 2nd instinct was to try it. the fear went away instantly when he said it was like sushi. how fresh can a sushi get when it right out of the stream and 10 seconds ago, it was still alive.

soothing jazz in the background with the day's papers on the dining table brightened by late morning's ray and a perfect bland of coffee at the side.

One of the finer things in life without all the fancy.

Work Hard Play Hard
Monday, August 03, 2009

The passed 4 days in bali went by just like a flash, and im back in the garden city once again. well i didnt exactly accomplished all 3 objectives set, and u've guessed it, its the bungy jump. maybe its the tight schedule that i didnt get a chance to even visit the site, shall leave it to the next trip or next next, or even next next next, argh, just somewhere somehow down the road.

White water rafting was enjoyable maybe a tad too light for me, it was a 12km downstream tolling up 2hrs. although it was already class 2 and 3 rapids, it was kinda far and few between where u feel u'll actually get thrown off board, maybe 5 time? but fabulous nonetheless. the finale was a 4m drop, spectacular.

Surfing was also one of a lifetime experience, a point to note thou: nv go topless ala the normal beach attire becos the some of the most protruding areas will get rubbed, not those sensual kind but the rough kinds, and coupled with not just a few times, but at least 30 times, it dosen sound as good as it seems anywayu get the gist.

Not to mention the daily activities that the boss planned like
- mass applying of facial mask, yes its guys and girls all 10 of us
- takwondo practice at 730am in the early morning on the kuta beach, yes very attention grabbing not in the right way
- initiation where any wrong answer will be allowed a 2nd chance of archery in the nitendo wii, at least 9 pts on archery or some bintang, yup the boss brought a wii over ocean for it.

bring on the next one!
