recession

sweet today i found out that my wind tunnel can simulate the world global economy, i.e., i get pressure readings which fluctuate wildly but after a while it becomes a generally decreasing trend.

useless random numbers. and dateline's just less than a month away. argh. =(

longing of the sad bastards

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all

Sometimes the head just has to succumb to the heart. And who better to succumb to, than something white, has 3 doors, and goes fast? =)

Q: what do you call a man who is always cycling behind traffic?
A: exhausted.

haha geddit? exhaust-ed, if you wish. damn lame joke i heard over the radio the other day and i thought was quite apt for cyclists in Singapore since we are constantly surrounded by motor vehicles and their associated gaseous by-products.

back to the once-a-week cycling routine, not there yet but still a start. recently got my bikes serviced and zhng-ed so now there's no excuse for me not to cycle anymore, unfortunately. well i guess if you cycle on weekends and start enough, it still CAN be pretty pleasant to cycle on local roads. now, if only we had some cols to climb..

might do some triathlon races in the middle of the year if everything works out. port dickson anyone? =)
