Hi, Again!

Just got a pair of Dahon Speed D7s for myself and the gf on Saturday.

I have been wanting to get a folding bike since I first read about it on Mr. Brown's blog a few years ago. At the time, I was still studying in Malaysia, and buying a bike did not seem to be a good idea (for safety reasons). So I did not really have a serious thought of buying one.

Having since moved to Singapore and started working here, I again entertained the idea of buying a folding bike. However, it was only recently that I began browsing and reading cycling and bike related blogs, forums and Facebook pages.

I narrowed down my choices to these 3 models: Dahon Speed D7, Dahon Mu P8 and a Brompton M6R (Least expensive to Bloody Expensive).

Comparison of Dahon vs Brompton, folded.

Notice how in their folded states, the Brompton is more compactly folded. To be fair, the Brompton's wheel is 16" while the Dahon is 20".

I really fell in love with the Brompton for its classic look, the compact fold and that ingenious idea of being able to roll it when folded!!! However, the Brompton costs 4 times as much as the Speed D7.

So I decided I really wanted the Brompton, but for the time being I would get the Speed D7 first so that I could start cycling. Then I would save up for the Brompton!

I hope to blog about my cycling adventures and share photos from my rides regularly, if time permits.

For starter, here's a photo of my Speed D7 (fitted with Brookes saddle) taken today during my ride to Bedok Reservoir Park.

Looking forward

There are a few things on my list that I'm looking forward to. Just thinking about them excites me.

1. Graduation in Sept.



This one definitely has to top the list. I'm finally done away with assignments and exams, at least for now lah.


2. Snow Leopard release in Sept.



Who doesn't get excited over the US$29 upgrade?


3. Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol release in Sept



I read The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons so I'm definitely going to buy The Lost Symbol to find out what Robert Langdon is up to this time.


4. Infinity Ward's Call Of Duty 6 or Modern Warfare 2 release in Nov.



I saw the gameplay trailer on YouTube the other day... so I'm pretty stoked at what I saw...

*Also looking forward to submitting documents to process my LPR application, and then having my LPR application approved and finally landing that desired job.*

Since my last blog entry...

I've abandoned this space for long enough. Many things have happened since my last entry.

The last entry was written five days before my final exam, so since that entry, I:

1) sat for my final exam.

2) came out fucking worried that I might flunk it again.

3) bought the 10-22mm lens that I always wanted.

4) went on short vacation to the island of Penang with the missus.

5) from Penang we went on a one-day trip to nearby Langkawi island. Hired a car and drove around the island.

6) returned to Sunway and began worrying about my exam result thereafter days and nights. lol.

7) went to Genting Highlands, twice. Once with my auntie and her family, and another occasion with the usual suspects: Felix, Dody and Ivan. Won rm 200 in the beginning but quickly in a span of only 2 hours, lost all the winnings plus rm 300 of my own money. fuck!!

8) killing zombies, monsters and witches on a daily basis at a nearby cybercafe with friends.

9) resumed playing GTA IV (as of typing this, I've only have one more mission before i beat the game).

10) fucking jubilated when result was released. I passed and i'm gonna graduate this Sept.

11) visited the missus in Singapore and met up with a couple of friends during my stay.

I think I've covered most things that had happened to the best that I could remember.
