hazards

my posts are so snip shots nowadays.


ok.
have been working. and dancing more then i play rugby. have actually missed 2 trngs coz of dance.
not that i didn't plan to go, but just really couldn't make it on time.



faced new challenges on the roads once again.
another learning experience was the one at the downslope entry to the carpark of singpost.
been posted to there. hahas.
so it was downslope. tried to keep safe distance alrdy. infront of me was a mini lorry (those commonly used to put goods).
the lorry could not decide where to go. he inched out of the slope to turn left.. but i think he wanted to turn right.
then.. i saw the reverse light on. i was like... EH. (i was like just behind ya) HAHAS. and i HORN LIKE MAD. all kinds of rhythm. beeeeeep beep beep beeeppppppppp beep beep beep. but the driver like deaf of something. so it was like watching a mini horror movie, as the lorry reverse closer and closer to u. hahha. and on downslope, bikes can reverse ya. i dun think any guy's possible to do that either. ahas. i cant turnout/left/right coz the lorry's in a wierd position and i'm just like.. stuck in a way.
so i think the car behind me also kena scared.. he help me horn his life away.
hahhas
stupid lorry.. STILL continue to reverse sia.
so i literally embraced myself for attack. ahhas. (got the i'm-gonna-get-tackled-feeling) hahas. i put both legs firmly down on the ground and grip my handlebars tight. i didn't think of running away though.
so indeed, the back of the lorry hit my light and SCRATCHED it... only then he realized i was behind.
like... thanks ya.

so i parked. and he went to park.
i thanked the car behind for some initiative there.
after that, he said sorry to me and i generously say its-ok. and yea, my lights have 3 scratched lines.



today also.
raining like mad.
i was damn careful on the road. i didn't cut lanes and travelled max speed of 65km/h on the PIE on the 3rd lane, and kept 2 cars length away.
but this car... JUST had to cut in w/o signalling or noticing my presence. and since i was on the 3rd lane, on the paya lebar flyover, there's no more lane for me to change into or get out of the way.so i horned like mad and used all my skills to jam brake on the super wet floor. was super alert to not wheel lock it and thank God for all the past falls, i've learned to drop down all my gears asap to at least 1 or 2 to stop the bike. ya. then just as i've expected, the driver WAS ON THE PHONE, trying to cut the lane in a massive jam. good thing is that he said sorry. and really amen to my battlax tyres and newly-twitched rear brake.






anyways. yesterday, i got...





(: I AM VERY HAPPY just because of this.
i've been living around w/o a proper camera. everything is BB then upload to fb/twitter.

played around with it and its really a brillant camera.
by far, its probably the best digi consumer cam i have.
i'm still thinking of getting the D10 (canon's underwater camera) though. more for my adventure stuff. my friend recommended me the panasonic FT-2 or Sony TX-5... whatever that is. hahas. i'm really a brand loyal when it comes to photography equippment. i put alot of trust in Canon.



anyway. my ixus 950is sensor cuiii ttm alrdy. so this is to replace it, just it time for the recital. (:




after tmr, i'll be taking 2 wks break to play, settle all the stuff that i want to clear and do before the new year.
and, it really looks like i'm totally giving the malaysia tournaments a miss this yr. and probably the next yr, and the next next yr and... whenever.



i've got to start searching for some goals also... just to make full use of this imagery-next-year thing to push it.
i mean like.. we all can start pursuing our goals like right here right now. but i think the whole new year thing just sets things better in perspective. and one thing i know is that, i'm gg to really start prioritizing God. i think its been long enough that i've been away and giving myself excuses. 2 yrs? yup.



i.need.to.be.more.confident.

pls pray for me on this. thanks. (:
