Mid-engined position, rear wheel driven - a combination that can be seen in most of the successful sports cars on Earth: Ferrari Enzo, Maserati MC12, Lamborghini Diablo, Acura NSX etc. again, has proven itself useful on my invincible bicycle.

 

The reason why I call it invincible has nothing to do with its perfomance. It is in fact a very bad bicycle, the reason why it is so bad is becoz it is very cheap. So this teaches you one Lesson: no good can come out from cheapness. This is one good thing about having a bad bicycle: it teaches you.

 

This thing is heavy. Maybe the maker thought super-light carbon-fibre material is not really the best choice eventhough all the supercar makers on earth know that weight is the key. That is fine with me anyway, becoz the bike thieves are so skillful and efficient nowadays, that I have to carry my bike 5 stories down everytime i want to use it, and carry it up when im done with it. That saves my weight, so that's good.

 

It amazed me when i realize that this bike has gear shifters, despite its unbeatable price. Though they dont work properly. For example, the one attached to the pedals cant shift to the lowest gear no matter what, the repairman refused to repair it coz he couldnt and he tried to talk himeslf out of it by claiming that the lowest gear is "never useful". Anyway, that is fine with me. That only means the pedals are gonna be extra heavy when it gets to an upslope, and that's good, coz the sheer purpose of this bike is for exercise.

 

The last thing i like about this bicycle is that it breaks down all the time (not literally, obviously...). that means I will have plenty of chances to carefully study its mechanical structure, understand how everything works and try to solve every problem arises. That is fine with me too, considering that Im going to the faculty of engineering.

 

Im pretty impressed by myself that i can come up with so much not-so-nonsense from something that is so nonsense...(or is it the other way around?)

Life should be like waiting for a train in one of those mornings, when the sun just came up.

 

Looking in the direction of which the train is gonna come, you can't see anything because it's full of sunshine.

 

You won't blame the sun for being so shiny because it's so harmless and pleasant,

 

and you know that it's only a matter of time for the train to reveal itself in this heavenly sunshine,

 

so you just wait, and enjoy the very moment of this beautiful morning.

 

Isn't that wonderful?

 

You can't see your future,

 

but you know it's gonna be bright,

 

and you know when the time is right,

 

everything is gonna work out just fine.

 

So at this very moment,

 

just enjoy your sunshine...

Next time when i sleep, it will be on my very own bed at home, not that im not looking forward to it, but im gonna miss my life during this period in Singapore. It's been really exciting working for the first time in my life, receiving my first salary, making hell lotz of new friends, and of course, saying good bye to all those who are going overseas.

 

Life will never gonna be the way it was in the past two months. Working without pressure, hanging out without any stupid hostel rules, pure freedom.

 

I'm gonna be back in two months, inevitably of course, but things gonna be different.

 

Expecting the unexpected is an interesting aspect of life.

 

Anyway, I'm gonna miss the way life used to be, I'm gonna miss my friend who may be going separate ways, I'm gonna miss hell lots of stuff that will no longer be in my life... but it's time to say good bye...

 

Cya later singapore. Cya later guys.
