:[ A New Look~ =)) ]:

hohoo~ finally change my blogskin~!! a new look... =))
Actualli is juz the colour and the background dat are change.. surely u guyz did notice.
Well i draw inspiration from emy~! She is dis small powerpuff gurl whu has hmm... alot of creative bubbles~! She did up her blog herself.. and for starine.. even the smaller details too! so i tot that hey.. i can customise my old blogskin too! hahaa~ coz i like my old blogskin.. it has a wide space for my entry, a review of my past entries.. a section for tags and songs. juz dat the purple colour is gettin a lil sick though.. So i MATTLEX'it~! (haha~ a new word~ its a verb) A'lil retro flavour

You got a lil prob wif ur upstairs neighbour~ mattlex'it
Somebody spill cola all over ur new shirt and ruin ur day~ mattlex'it
A bird flew over and drop some dooDoo on ur head~ mattlex'it
Juz did ya 'business' at ur frenz place and the flush dun work~ *dat u dun mattlex'it.. mattlex wun go anywhere near~

so wat does this term "mattlex'it" means..
wat ya think??

goony man: "wait..wait..wait a minute, whu are ya to come out wif new nouns and verbs??"
mattlex: "kekee~ ur in my blog, whu are u to speak~?"

Dun go spreading around this new verb ar.. or else i will get rich~! kee~

Well im sick now.. got dis flu virus goin around in camp~ and todae 7 pepz got MC coz of dat.. im one of them.. woke up in the morning and i knew somethin wasn't rite.. i slept at 2am last nite and i got up at 5.30 in the mornin.. and i aint tired at all~ mayb coz im shivering tat i rather wake up. Go to camp feelin quite uncomfortable.. so i might as well report sick~
Spoiled my plans of goin out todae.. slept thru the afternn and my bones are like aching.. haishx~ i wonder about 2ml~

Music Review by Mattlex~
I take my last breath (last breath)
Its like Im dead inside (dead inside)
Its like Im past it (past it)
Its what I cant describe (cant describe)

Its the lyrics of the song that is currently playing~ Duno wat it's describing either.. but i like'it! Get to noe this song coz of the drummer~ An all time favourite musician in the world of mattlex.. Travis Barker~ The guy whu brought about Famous Stars & Straps~ and Blink182. The Transplant is his other band.. Blink182 is coming out with their Greatest Hits album liaoz.. so its kindof the end of their Blink career.. The guyz are individually goin into other bands and careers.. Oh well.. wishing all the best for them~ coz those guyz rawks big time!
End of it~

Thats all for this entry! gonna watch 'Tong Xing Yuan'

goony man: "errm.. "mattlex'it" means change something something??
mattlex: "haa~~ i anyhow one"

Let the funky beat blaze~!

:[ A tribute to my bike (Aug 01 ~ Oct 05) ]:

Well its kindof over liaoz~
juz 2dae i went to the bike shop to do the papers.. and everything has been settled juz dat my IC is still wif them for processin.. So goodbye to my long time fren and companion..
FT7406R~ the last yellow kawa

Well.. the nitez on spore road would be a safer place now~ (hahaa..like real) Still rem its glorious days.. Back in 02 03.. park at the edge of my school carpark. Juz had the yellow spray on.. Had alot of 'kang taos' for biking.. Went to JB and customize all the stickers.. those white jap words on a blue background that till now.. had no idea wat it means.. my name made doubled layers to have the border edge effect. the sonic the hedgehog is not custom.. but it had all the mixture of colours of my bike~ and the hedgehog adds meaning to it too~ the No.5 juz above my tail light. (until one day one itchy hand remove a part of it~ hm!) and whu can forget that trademark identity sticker that was carefully paste with an angle arnd the head light.. 'Jun Ge Ge' haiz~ over the years.. most of the stickers came down..
Once we have bike, nobody would regconise us by our names.. we all go by our bike~ that became our identity.. Toward the 3rd year.. most of e pepz in my clique got a bike~ we would leave the campus in bulk and noise.. occasionally in stunts. (hehee) we went places man..
During my first year.. its neber a day.. or a nite that i didnt unlock my gate to leave the hse.. reunited wif my sec sch frenz and we went 'rounding' all nite. They bought mi places where one day i would intro my other frenz.. one thing bores mi wif my sec sch frenz is dat our topic is alwaes on bikes.. we were like so updated on news about bikers arnd spore.. News that spread faster than the evening news. Every where we go, the topic is alwaes the same. Guess thats wat brought us 2gether.. but it was helpful over the years..hmm On a normal day, i would reach home at 4am and turn in soon after.. wake up at 8am for sch.. But its alwaes waiting for 2nite~ dats wen im awake!
Learn a few stunts on the bike too~ wen my bike was in its original purple, i tried one to many times of wheelies.. scratch alot on my ferring. But the biggest stunt i did was the relax sittin style on oil tank.. Used to perfect it till i can perform dat stunt juz upon acceleration. Did perfect my gear changing till it dun jerk at all.. secret of it is that we shall not hold the clutch while we shift gears.. gotta perfect that skill or else the jerking would be greater
Racing~ personal record top of 190km/hr. couldnt reach the 200 mark that others had proclaim to do.. nicest place to race was the changi aeroplane runway.. we can top it twice on a single stretch of road.. Anywaes, I also rem a memoriable one on the ecp to aye xpressway.. mi, deming & yanling, john.. were competing side by side moving at 160 to 170 km/hr.. we were lookin over each other smiling and grining.. and overtaking one another inches by inches.. John was undefeatable.. i won deming dat nite though.. Well.. actualli i lost more than i won.. i drop more than i did a wheelie. Thank God i didnt drop when i did the relax sitting poise.. or i will be doom meat liaoz..
my bike~ truly it has been thru wif mi the most. Guess im gonna lose more things too 2gether wif my bike~

:[ My Bike ||| ]:

okay the title is for evandrea... actualli its more than juz my bike for this entry..
ok i shall start from there

bike ~
u noe.. i might juz have to sell my bike in the end. =((
Have been to and fro from that workshop since monday..its juz hectic.
Wen i receive my bike on tuesdae.. a new prob arose; the bike aint got much power... so i send it back during lunchtime on wednesday.. and i receive it back juz now... than the mechanic there told us he could not undo the fault ardy.. than ssg sasi was like.. "hey we are also mechanics ya noe..." Im beri thankful for knowing ssg sasi.. he had help mi in many ways. This 36 yr old guy has a family and a home but he still accompany mi to solve my bike prob all the way. Tues wen i went to collect the bike at 10pm, he came down from his hm to acc mi. Wed, he followed mi to give the bike back to the workshop to repair coz i need him to fetch mi back. Thurs he fetch mi go there again to collect the bike. Wen the mechanic called mi to tell mi that they cannot undo the fault.. i told sasi bout it. and sasi got work up too. we went down and sasi help mi tok to the mechanic.. and we aint in any good mood then. Now the bike has been better. But not as good to run as b4.. And the bike could not last much longer too.. so its wise to sell out now while there is still a higher value..
my bike has a piston jam~ u noe wats dat? hehe
piston is a metal thingy that pumps and mix the air and petrol intake in the vehicle. so for dis recent fault, the piston seized as it is overheated and and had expanded. The friction of piston against the chamber holding the piston became greater. than it scratches the chamber and also seized to move. initially i tot i may nid to change the whole cylinder and the piston which cost $400 to $500. by then, it wun be worth the repair for my bike..
Wat the mechanic do for my bike was to change the piston and polish the chamber to make it smooth to use again. (onli works wen the jam is not dat bad..but he told us mine is moderately bad) The 2nd fault that arise for my bike is that wen he had changed the piston, there is a gap between the chamber and piston which the air escape.. so the lost in power.. its the mechanic's fault but he does not wan to change the chamber or he may lose alot of $$$.. so he tried other means to improve the situation. now my bike still has the lost in power.. it could not last any longer too.. haiz.. gotta give it up liaoz
(now whu wana major in mechanical??)

Ulcer~
My mouth hurts man!! got this ulcer under my tongue (how did that bugger get down there??) and it is constantly hurting mi coz my tongue is alwaes moving. and wen i eat, it neber fails to give mi that sensation. it started after i went to the dentist.. whu told mi i got a gum issue.. (in my previous entry) so after the dentist.. i started to brush my teeth thoroughly liaoz. and it might have poke the under tongue area.. Than it became bigger and bigger. Now wenever i eat.. it hurts. bummer~ =((

My finger~
Haa.. wats dis bout my finger...? kekee I had a cut on it. A deep one... neber been so deep b4.. its disfigured! arhh.. And i cut it in the most unworthy situation. ~while opening my umbrella..~ haa~ Wen i came back from lunch, i wanted to open my umbrella to dry it. As i pushed open it, it slip my finger and this sharp blade thingy on top of the umbrella~ (u noe those manual umbrella) ya.. ehem~ it cut a piece of flesh of my index finger. now a side of my finger is sunken.. and the blood juz kippin drippin out. There is no skin to hold the bleedin. Went to see the army medic later and let mi tell ya they are some worthless peps. No motivation to do their duty. They anyhw wrap my finger and i gotta stop them.. "hey hey wait~ its still bleeding." as the goss turns red. Than they will remove and wrap again and as they tighten the goss on my finger, it shifts round my finger and its like scratching on my wound. than i will say to them.. "its lose." So they try to undo the wrap by cuttin it open. Than i said.. "wait~" and i juz pull the wrap out of my finger. In the end.. at one point, they saw that the bleeding has stopped, they took a handiplaster and stick on the wound. gave mi a few more plus a medication cream. then they say.. "ok.. its done" Mi and my fren peter was shaking our heads. With their skill, i can do it myself.. haiz. Think about it.. if there is a war.. and this medic could not stop the bleedin like my hand, than i might as well lay there and slowly bleed to death. All they do is juz sit around listenin to some matt rock music. waitin to end the day. During war i might as well take some medics as my human sheild.. coz they are the most useless of all.. hm!
Than the bleedin would not stop till the nite.. So at 10pm juz now, i made my way to the hospital to have my finger wrap up. Wif real bandages.. Stayed there for 3 hrs.. haiz. After puttin plaster for soo long till the nite, the wound stop bleeding. so the nurse proffesionally wrap up my index finger.. and i felt relief after dat.. its on its way to recovery..! the doc gave mi 3 days of mc.. have to go to polyclinic to change my dressin too on saturday..

todae i can update alot horr.. coz im now at home. =D gonna catch up wif a few things..
so i had a tough week this week.. motor break down, repair also got new problem.. ulcer in my mouth and a bandage on my finger... haiz. But everything is gettin better~

carp diem!!

:[ my bike || ]:

Heyz i might not need to sell my bike ardy~!! Alrite~! Praise God~!

I took a bus to camp 2dae~ i had taken buses to many places but i'd neber took a bus to dis camp.. woke up at 0530 2dae and feelin sianz and left my hm an hour later.. i ask my frenz in camp 2dae regarding wat shall i do wif my bike~ Well they told mi its not worth it to sell my bike. Coz its even cheaper than taking public transport.. Which is quite true.. i top up $10 for my ezlink card yest and i used $7 by the end of 2dae.. Wen i pump my petrol in johor~ i spent $9 for a week on transport.. if i pump in spore, it'll cost mi $19.. So to save $$, its better for mi to kip my bike. but how about the $$ to pay for my servicing..??

Staff Sergent Sasi offered to fetch mi to the bike shop at yishun.. This isnt the first time he had helped mi out.. Im so grateful to him.. This are the pple in 6Dsmb. Whu helped mi even wen i dun mean anythin to him.. Wo Ravi, Ssg Sasi.. both whu are my senior while im onli a small fry in the army.. but still treat mi as their fren~ Sasi brought mi to his bikeshop to do my servicing. Invited mi to his home~ Than we also had dinner a couple of times. Ravi had mi back for a gathering dinner after i left them for espo too.. Haa~ compared to those pricks in espo.. But Ravi n Sasi are like struggling for their promotions.. haiz such pple deserve better lorr~! unlike wo harold and tan mu yen type.. whu couldnt care less bout other pple other than themselves..

Anywaes back to my bike~ so after work, sasi n i went to yishun.. than sasi helped mi asked a shop and tok to the boss..Than watever shop we went to, he will acquire from the boss on my behlf. the 1st shop we went to raise a price of $400 to $500.. Than we went to a neighbour shop.. and that offered $300... so we settled there.. And i tot i could borrow from my mum first lorr.. hmm... but im not sure yet.. coz there could be more faults in my bike than i think.. im kippin my fingers cross..!

Than another shop offered $1500 for my bike~ hmm... Oh well..
We'll see..

:[ my bike ]:

2dae is a sad dae for mi.. my faithful bike died on mi.. my wild guess is that my bike piston jammed.. oh man i didnt take good care of her~ T.T

i was on the way home after cell group and i was on the expressway.. wen i hear some cricking sound.. it sounded like a part came lose and it was hittin against another object in the wind..so its like ^crack crack crack...^^ my bike temp went to 2/3 of the meter.. soon after there was no power in my bike... than suddenly it seized.. everythin went dead and the engine brake slow down my bike.. quickly i hold the clutch and move to the road shoulder.. i was near the portsdown road entrance..after NUH. upon gettin dwn, i saw white smoke coming out from my engine.. than i recalled before cell group meetin.. i saw white smoke too but i tot it was water vapour coz it was rainin heavily juz before. but then think again.. it was a silly tot. I rested on the expressway thinkin of wat to do~ shld i tow my bike.. or leave it there and take a bus home.. mayb i could wait till the bike cool dwn 1st and try to start it again.. i took option 3 and was gettin worried.. laid hands on my bike.. prayin it could at least bring mi home.. soon after i started my bike and it works..! but i could not let my bike idle or it will go dead again.. than i had a ride of my life... or i mean ride on my life..
it was a lil risky.. not knowing that i could now reach back home safely.. i carefully ride back being aware i cannot stop my bike.. but i thank God i could ride it home.. and on the way home i was singing praise song also... hahaa~ 'and i will never stop praising You~' haa~ (we sung that during cgm) the traffic was alrite until i reach the orchard tunnel whr it became heavy.. careful careful~ reach bishan there worst liaoz.. than the temp shot up till it almost reach the red mark.. than went it reach amk it was too heavy.. than the crackin sound resurface again. so i ride onto the road shoulder till i reach my exit. a few more meters till i reach home.. Reached my carpark and i was soo relieve. saved $40 on towin also.. (my life worth $40 nia~ haa) but then somehw the temp went down and my bike did not went dead wen i stop at my carpark..

wat realli sadden mi is that that would be one of the last ride on my bike of 4 years liaoz.. i suspect the fault to be a piston jam.. such a replacement plus svcin would cost a few hundred bucks.. which would not be worth it as my bike (a few mths back) is worth $1500 if i sell. so if i can ride my bike i would ride to the bike shop and hope he will buy it lorr.. if not i would have to do with watever lil $$ he would offer..

my bike has been thru with mi rain or shine.. heard my most horrific singing.. and seen mi smile or weep.. no more late nite supper.. malaysia's seafood.. bedok 85 beef ball noodle.. or bukit timah prata.. came back late after TCC at millenia.. swift journey to church or camp.. all the place i could have been.. kent ridge park hilltop.. labortor park.. flyin fox at west coast after midnite.. changi village.. east coast.. used to be soo convenient.. choosing which area to go kboxin. oh my im missing them ardy.. couldnt bear to leave them all behind.. so sudden.. T.T wat can i do... =((

my companion of 4 yrs...
its time to say goodbye~ or izzt
sigh~*
