Alive-Pearl Jam

Been 3 days,away from work,absence with valid reason,but my bad knee doesn't seems to recover,oops i'm a bit worried now,the pain only neutralized due to the painkillers that i've swallowed,now tomorrow gonna be the last few pills,and then i'll face the pain again,if it's not recovered.let's just push that thought aside now,hope that i'll be strong like a horse by sunrise.

today i woke up real early.ran through my notes but midway i was almost dozing off.so i left home to get my helmet's visor replaced,it accidentally slipped off my butter fingers last night,landed hard on marina square's slippery glittery tiles,rolled and knocked the plastic visor,breaking it into half.decided to got it fixed,so i went around searching for the same one and finally got it replaced for $9.00.i stopped at one shop,and got my seat cover replaced as well-$48-now that's a bargain,compared to another shop where the salesgirl quoted a stabbing $80.

got my visor changed,gotta new seat,gotta whole lotta new feel.

got back home,and later that evening my bro amir asked whether i've bought ayah's gift as tomorrow's his birthday,OHH...i've forgotten...

and like flash,i stood up,got dressed,packed and left home in a rush-i sped all the way towards the city-i can't think of other things-all my mind could picture was,to get me dad a watch for his birthday.and all i had was one hour.

it was 5pm,when i left,reached bugis by 5.20pm,got the watch in about 10mins of scanning and surveying,left the place and rushed up to changi south where i had to fetched marlia to our Sirah class at Darul Arqam-and i managed to do all that dangerously-in less than an hour.all could be a lil safer if i remembered all the important dates in life-i'm recklessly foolish.

and thank God i'm still alive.

so yesterday i met up with cuzzie Adil,we went down to Singapore Adventurer's Club office at traffic crazy Geylang lor 27,was quite frustrated looking for the place,and finally,we've registered ourselves for the 120km cycling challenge on the 30th-31st of Aug.and that's why i'm worried about me knee.

paid the dough for the registration and the bike rental which comes with safety helmet.and deep down my heart whispered-can i finish the race in one piece?it's either the bike or myself might break halfway,but i'm pretty turned on,and my spirits are one hell burning desire to try this one out-it's just the physical part i should be worried about.
in world war 2,those ambitious skinny japs cycled through Malaya;and now with new technology applied on bikes,making it stable,lighter and way faster and safer,is there any reason why i should back out out of the race?although neither me nor adil has a loving passion for cycling-and to complete the race is really a big challenge,i just hope we could.

c'mon & quit being dormant!

Cest La Vie!
