i'll say this is the best birthday i ever had. had a wonderful lunch with my mates over at the johnson lock duck rice outlet over at bukit timah, followed by some standard birthday protocol of candles blowing and cutting of cake. wm's birthday was 2 days before me, so both of us celebrate it together. i even bought 2 bottles of sparkling fruit juice so we can do something like a champange pop (damn, it cost 3bucks a pop). i think i really enjoyed the pop, just like what people do on podiums when they win a stage or a race. but wm aimed it at the wrong direction and got the whole crowd wet.

thanks people for organising that small little celebration for me. im sure everybody enjoyed it. thanks yl! other than that nothing much happened on this special day. except that my friends kinda treated me like a king. it feels great!

and the highlight for the day is..........

i recieved a handmade card from natty baby! all the way from thailand! and it arrived on the exact day and it was on the table when i got home. woohoo. thanks alot baby! i love you lots. pom ruk koooooooon! haha. (im not sure if she's reading this)

just recovered from a short bout of flu. and i've been off bike for 4 days already. lotsa work to do man. tutorials, projects all fcking getting all over me. and i havent been doing that well for my modules, especially reng and em3. freak man. if i dont ever wack it back straight i will have problems getting into uni next time. argghhhhhh.

and the junior boys are going for tour of brunei next week! under 23 tour. damn. i would love to be there. but studies is definately the main pirority now man. haiz. marina south criterium next sunday, hopefully everything goes well. should be upping my mileage soon and start doing intervals too. went kulai last sunday with jeff and sean, and i suffered quite abit on the hills. can feel that the fitness is dropping after the time off bike, but i think it's really worth it. now im prepared for another period of hard training regime! mentally and physically refreshed.

targeting both tour of egat and heritage tour in may. since i'll be in thailand anyway. probably have to pay for one race myself. hopefully it wun exceed 300 bucks or something. it will a total of 2 weeks of racing with 2 days of break in between. good experience and training too! and not forgetting that i might be able to meet nat there if she gets thru the interview. *cross fingers*

okay. 1 hour left to go. oh i just turned 19. i was borned 22:42 on 24/02/1986. haha. alright man. 5am ride tomorrow. should turn in soon. but im still waiting for nat to come online. thinking of getting a web cam soon. but that will depends if she can get broadband and webcam too. sometimes i wish i was born rich or something. then many things will be possible. or maybe let me strike lottery. 555.

i guess that's it. thanks for reading. happy bird day.

it is bird's day.
