A trip with my wheels

Last weekend was a fantastic one! Its been donkey years since I had such a hectic yet fulfilling saturday and sunday, totally drained me of energy but wore me down with a smile.

Saturday morning started off on my wheels and chain to Parnoid Worm's place at Somerset. A radical brudder of mine by fate shares the same 18 09 1981 day with me! Righton!!! How often can one get such a person to step into ur life right? Some more can click with him pretty well.... just wonder how come he cant gel with the mates in OCS.

The kids who share a day

Anyway, reached his place, parked my bike, took a shower, then i scoot off to kallang to meet my NTU kakis for hand sign lessons to ready myself for Camp Out Reach(hopefully my sup let me go off early to attend the camp). Reachin the mountbatten rd campus of the hearing impaired(paiseh forgot exact name) we got a classroom and we learnt our ABCs. Damn cool ok, I can spell my name with my hands.

After that go back town meet wurm and had dinner. Went back to koonz ard 12 but ended up watching wrestling till 3am! Siao Bo! next morning 630 wake up biking leh.... but chatting with each other abt the history of wrestling too cool liao.

Slept on itchy carpet for 2 hours and got startled awaked by a crazy rocker ring tone as alarm! damn... Worm is really out of the world one, cannot find another person as "unique" as him.

Anyway, the early morning jive down the streets of the CBD was a wonderful experience. To be able to feel the breeze whislt having the cityscape screened with a greyish dusk colour. Very very refreshing... not like the usual noisy and packed streets.

Early morning wake up, confirm got place to go la! Think crazy nothing to do meh! Paya Lebar Runway cycling led the 2 of us to the air base lor. Paddle n paddle, upon entered the camp, wah lau I tot I go wrong place into bicycle expo instead.

Look at the throng of bikes!

16 click was a breeze on 2 wheels. Feast my eyes upon the hot bods and bikes that zipped and zoomed passed during the spin on the runway. Quite a fun experience, pity those medics and RP have to burn weekend... well my chance will come one la.

Take a jive down the fly-way~

Reached back Liang Court for breakfast before the sky poured cats and dogs. Stranded inside, me and worm browsed magazines in kinokuniya till both buay tahan and concuss at one of the benches of the supermarket. I swear the watchman was wondering how come got 2 chap sitting there dozing off during his shift.

Eventually, buay tahan liao... sprinted back in the pouring rain got back to his place drenched like a duck. Showered then go lunched at BK at Cineleisure. After lunch, went to taka square shop for my gundam but too bad sold out.

Changed to shorts n T-shirt before mounting on my bike for the trip back to clementi. Type also type until sian... so many details. After the 2 days, shack out... still wanted to tutor someone but really buay tahan concussed.

Fulfilling or boring? At least I did something I am happy and glad

PatriX

[R]eadings on me

Ian bestowed a letter onto me and use the letter 'R' to make as much descriptions or what comes into me mind. Always fancinated by this silly "dares" or suggestions, Bring it ON!

Responsible
PatriX's middle name which he pins responsibility as a moral code of life. A virtue much sought after but maintaining is another story.

Retrospective
always trying to put issues and happenings from another angle. Wondering what, how and why things turn out that way, "if only" things were done in another way what will happen?

Reflect
every now and then sit down and talks to himself about how is the situation he is in now. Look back at the incidents and happenings that made an impact and jot it down as a mental case study to learn from oneself

Regrets
He is lying if he said lifes haven’t been littered by regrets. PatriX aint no saint but doesn’t want to live in vain too. What he'll do now is to live up to the motto "No Regrets"

Reckless
Close friends will know the crazy stunts and antics this young man does. From chasing mice in the middle of the playground to death defying stunts on his bike, you name it, so far he has done it. It’s a kind of adrenaline rush that spurs on this rash nature so that he "die" trying to rescue himself from the mess he gets into

Reminisces
sentimental or call it plain loser, he always looks back into what he had left behind. The memories, tears, cheers, pain and gains... Keeping things in the head, never fails to scare his friends with the uncanny memory of happenings, issues and discussions we once had

Ridiculous
as predictable as Singapore's weather. Packed with insane ideas and irrational thoughts no one can fathom what he'll do next including himself.

Reason
there is a reason for everything including why fishes don’t drink from cups and guys never lift the toilet seat. He lives for a reason, and the reason is you.

Rooster
Born under this sign, it’s not unusual to be branded cocky and prideful go take alot what a rooster is blessed and blasted with.
Come read about me

Respect
the core of patrix. The rank is bestowed but the respect is earned. Lifeblood that will keep him going to earn the respect and trust of others and everyone he interacts, the ultimate goal.

Finding my way

Finding Yourself

Ever been in the situation in dire frenzy to locate the blob of "blue tack" that had always laid around ur desk being in the way. Just when you need it, it goes MIA and operation hide-n-seek formally executed so that I can "pin" up my annual exam time table. I am sure these under-used items have a mind n legs of their own taking revenge on the fact I dont place them on my "piority" list.

Frustrated and exhasted from all the foraging, when I least expected, the stupid blue blob called for exercise cut pasting its content onto my butt as I sat on my chair. Alrite, I am exaggerating but come on, these kinda things happen dont they?

I dont like feeling lost.

Lost:
1.To be unsuccessful in retaining possession of;
2.To be unable to keep control or allegiance of:
3.To let (oneself) become unable to find the way;
4.To remove (oneself), as from everyday reality into a fantasy world.

So many years have indulged myself into the daily struggles and pursuit of social, academic and spiritual acceptance I think I've lost myself. When I was a primary school kid, there's this memory flash of my primary 3 chinese teacher, Hong Lao Shi counting the number of years left to study: 3 to Secondary, 4 to JC or Poly, then 2-3 more to University entry and another 3 more to complete the story. That easily chalked up to 13 plus years. Imaging telling a 9 years old kid he had 13 more years to go... which makes up like his current total lifespan with addition of a few years. Take his breathe away I say, what a child dreads most is school and homework... I think everyone will know what I mean.

Thinking back, a blink of an eye its 14 plus years ago when she left me shell shocked... in a year time I'll be donning my greens whislt having attained what all my chinese teacher had spoken of. During the past decade, the main aim was to clock sufficient "milage" and complete the educational phase. Just when one is reaching the light at the end of the tunnel, he is thrown into a blinding blanket of light forced to squint or grop around in order to advance cautiously.

Yap, thats what I am getting to... soon studies will be all over and the mundane process of growing up is? Start a family? Strike a career? Everythings a blur thats for sure, guess this is a growing up stage for everyone? Or just that I am wierd kinda chap who does not know the importance of raking in fat pay cheques to fuel a material life?

The internship period really gave me alot of time to reflect and discuss issues. Another milestone which marks as a page in my growing up and self discovery to my strength, weakness, love and hates.

I am a simple guy who have funny dreams... When I am lost, I tend to find out more things about myself and the surrounds... isnt that an irony?


The more I try to seek a path, the more exasperated things will go for me. There will be a day when I retrieve back this excerpt and jeer at the state of confusion I am in now, but meanwhile, getting to the rainbow, I'll have to bear with the rain. I'll find my way!
