Itchy....scratched til almost bleed

After going to Bishan temple to pray / sao mu....head straight down to Tuas MX track on my KDX220....first time riding such long journey...or cover so much distance in a day..100km in 1 day.....hit reserve about 97km on 7 liter = 14km/liter....think not tat bad, can cover most trail without begging from petrol liao unlike all my other bikes...but then again..tis is cruising on highway with rpm abt 5-6K...valve not open yet..and only few sudden burst to open valve for clearing carbon and excess 2T...hahaha

Reached the track and its the MX expert in action...Larry totally different class on his KXF...think local boys no way to match him..cos he even can beat Robo (malaysia MX no 1)....no overjump...all very little airtime and lotsa speed...met Shawn, old time poly classmate from ngee ann ME...he's getting back off-rd after 3yrs....jus bought his brand new lelong 04 CR250R at incredible price..think I also can't resist..good buy

saw alot of ppl now using MX bike liao....fadly, dave, bla bla all using MX bike....guess thats the way to go if serious wanna play Tuas...forget abt converting enduro or road worthy bike for MX....its jus a shortcut to faster breaking your bones or burning your pocket

Again...the action just makes me wanna be at the starting gate...of the enduro class of cos..hehe.......the pace is fast even for novice...hope they have a super novice class if I get back riding/racing again..hahaha....thats my hope again....

And sad to see another KTM2 fella breaking his leg.....heard throttle jam while taking a jump...super airtime and he eject from the peak height..prob 2-3 storey high and land on his legs....ouch...I'm sure tats a painful lesson...but the $30 race insurance hope can cover him abit at least.....

totally roasted under the immerse Tuas sun....even go redang also nvr kanna tan so bad..now my arms are totally red.....then head down to SMU for my sunday tutorial...back home for dinner and then edmund ring me up to go see a werkz EG6

http://www.shc-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=136410

Asking for S$32K neg....this is prob the most fierce EG6 I've seen...too bad engine is not in the car yet....fully lightened, plastic window, lightened door, no carpet or soundproofing...this is the hardcore / siao driver....only use for track or race...confirm cannot drive on road.....bet dyno on wheel this B20B NA car can get easily 280bhp...and thats gonna be a EVO or WRX killer even for straight sprint.....track if in good hands...tis car gonna kick ass..but guess its too powerful for both of us to handle...

If we share the EG...we fork out 15K each....if play bike and buy MX bike..also 10-12K easily....haiz...I'm itchy again....argghh..and ah piew jio me May go Endau Rompin trail.....let's see how it goes...time for FLAT TRACK real soon....then I will decide if I still can ride or should I go play car instead which is safer

I've survived Redang

Its a very long weekend in Pulau Redang, Malaysia and 1st time tried diving ever since my accident.

Diving was so so with 1 sighting (1sec view) of black tip together with the norm like blue spot sting ray, cute yellow box-fish, trigger fish, turtle etc.....but to be back in the water diving is a bonus for me....had small difficulty if meet wif current but jus held on corals or dun fight it....was on rental equipment cos lazy to bring my own...so those parlia snorkeling fins nvr helped with the currents....thinking abt the washing, carrying the equipment, drying the equipment etc just not worth for me and to maintain it after using.....and glad I made that choice....go wif only 1 small bag...hahaha..finish diving jus go back shower, no need clean or wash my gears...

Now can plan for my dive trip....still got hammerhead shark, manta ray, mola mola on my want to see list

Also, this morning was a first carpool trip for me...picked up a nice auntie in telok banglah drive(5-10min drive away from my home) at 745 and sent her to work in Tuas(5min away from my office)......earned my lunch $$$ of S$6....hmm, probably I should charge more as she said taxi fare cost >S$10 with the peak hour surcharge...
