Welcome to the world of cycling..

this is the first time i hear that a tyre has kevlar material. OMG... i bought a pair of tyres that rivals the price of my 15 inch tyres back home.
14.99. and that's the cheapest...
sommore got rotation sommore. see the pic here
i damn sien lor.. cos both my tyres already almost died mah.
then i bought 1 tyre to replace the back. then another 1 to replace the front the next day. then i put them on wrong way. sien. i go back i try to put them on the right way. went to the station and pump.
came back to the room fixed the tyres to the bike. found out i did the the wrong way again !!! GEEEEEz
then i went back to the station to pump.. the fler said the pump rosak.. so today i came to work on bus. in the bus after camden stop they got cops coming up the bus to catch those fare evaders. i saw a lot of ppl got caught. cos of the bendy buses nobody go touch in mah..
this fler who sat in front of me. obviously he didnt touch.. he told the conductor when he got checked for saying the pass wasn't validated, he said.. but there's money in the card. like if there's money in the card makes any difference.. i think those fare evaders should stand near those machines just to get ready in case the cops come check so they can quickly touch.. hehe.
anyways, that'sa bout it.. i'm gonna buy a pump for my tyres later. another £20 down the drain. total after i come back to fix my bike. = 14.99 X2 = 30 some park tool for my tyre lever = 2.99 and today one pump should be quite a lot to fix.. sien.. :P
that's it for today la.. busy day.. but i like the weather.. no sun.. hurrah !!! lol
i'm mad to like the gloomy weather.. but at least it's not that hot.

note: i found out lasik i can't focus for words 5 cm away from my face.. that's bad..
never mind la.. already do .. next time go back to kl cari them fry them kao kao..
i keep sleeping at 11pm and waking up 7 hours later.. this is not good. this has been the third day i've been awake at 6 am.. Grumble.s..
[edit]
I had snickers icecream bar last nite as well.. didnt pump tyres.. just bought a snickers bar ice cream from the gas station @90p.
a tad expensive. innit..

Have been left out of the cycling loop for so long. We are thinking of getting a bike for city use. Any recommendations?

er.. u ask me ahh ?? my bike i got free..
sommore its not something i know much about. if you go to a cycle shop evans cycle is the closest to me prices are okay.. cycle surgery is a bit expensive. , they should be able to sort you out. but after riding for so long..
the important points of the bike.

1. mountain bike / racer / foldable ( mine's a mountain bike. i find myself more comfortable on a mountain bike, i can't balance on a racer. foldable too much of a hassle)
2. budget. ( mine i got for free. but i think bikes should be quite okays for around £300-400 mine dun have shocks. dun need them. not going off roading. just road use.)
3. weight of the bike. cheaper bikes are heavier. (i carry my bike up a flight of stairs to the first floor everyday[after cycling, to carry it up if it's heavy it's not very nice]. so weight matters to me.)
4. how often u're gonna use it lor. ( i use it on weekdays. it's durable for me. so it's pretty okays)
5. easy to maintain.
6. Gears. if u're doing just normal relaxing riding, 18/21 i forgot what was the highest one 28 speed ? 18 speed would be enough kua..

buy what u feel is comfortable for u lor. and make sure u shop around la. should have lotsa deals since it's summer and everyone wants to ride in the sun. :)

not much, but that's bout it hope it helps.
hehe.

I think I will just go for used bike. Haiyah...in Malaysia not this complicated. Just get a damn bike and that's it. Plus I don't remember my old bike costing even £60! Dammit.

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

Ultimate Burger. ( sorry no pics)

Tried something new for lunch the other day. namely ultimate burger. . it's a tad pricey when compared to the burgers i had in macdonalds or burger king. :P £7 per medium sized burger. i had just the minted lamb burger(£6.95), and some spicy onion rings.(£1.95) in the ultimate burger store in tottenham court road. it was not too bad. a pretty nice setting too. all u have to do is queue up order ur food, then get a number then u put it on the table. they have sort of a hanger for u to put ur numbers to. just like in those kind of chinese open air market in petaling jaya give u number then they come look for u.. but this one they come to look for u with ur food almost about 2 mins after u've sat down and they would ask u if u liked ur food. gripes about the food. lamb burger seems small.. but its' about the size of a chargrilled flame burger in burgerking. taste wise, very tender lamb meat with mint sauce. it's nice. :P the onion rings are a different matter though . for ...
