Are you going to finish strong?

I woke up by the ringing of my phone. I used to prank ppl in the middle of the nite and called people just to make sure they go for their midnite pee and time to wake up for shaolin martial art and 3 in the morning... 

At four in the morning.. I will called somebody and asked them to be at the soccer field by 6am.. Of course they are some revenge from ppl but they hardly could get on me...

Anyway that was like many years ago...ever since I have not fancy about phone or smses..those thrill are gone and in fact I hardly chat on the phone unless it is neccesary. These are the biggest changes.. as a result my phone bill plan is now maxis RM50.00...ahahaha... wish it could be much lower... :p 

yet... at ONE something..a customer called m e in a panic stage..relax moron... he need to rush off the printing as he will be celebrating the water festival in songkla... wow..that was like more than 48 hours away man..and yet middle of the nite.. he still panic... 

oh shit.. boon.. i think i break the sensor.. .well, i always have situation with this fler.. he panic..  this kinda fler you need to look at his eyes and said.. before i wack your balls up your groin... then he will settle down a bit. . kinda hyper tension I would say.. 

So at time I will just keep quiet over the phone.. and until he ran into a curious stage..only do i reply... 

sO It wasnt a big deal lah... so after some guidance he is back on track again. So much for the fear that he going to lose the trip... 

Anyway, somehow he makes me to ponder at some of the things that we face in life. I am right now going at a junction in my career.. either it pick up or die.. not to be that bad exactly.. just something the waiting is too long and the distraction set in and at time demoralising just kick in out of nowhere. but it should not deter me at this moment.. Just need to heighten up the focus and faith runs in.. there is always hope in life..

To talk about that.. I was thinking about riding bi
cycle.. when I rode on bike sometime. .I do remembered my old primary and high school mate who had an accident which almost took her life.. she told me about it when she and his husband.. which is also my primary school and high school mate.. yea... some of these ppl do end up together.. its call fate lah.. 

Anyway, yesterday she just left a comment again and reminds me on this accident that she had. yea..sometime it does come back to haunt you. Its like when you witnessed someone at the roadside that is covered with newspaper with pool of blood and the hand that is pale sticking out from the paper.. That will chill to your bone and cause you to drive a bit slowly. 

That is natural reflex lah.. Animal instinct as well. 

However, there is nothing wrong with riding the bicycle. When I first bought home the first MTB that was stolen.. i had hellavu lecture from my mum and garner my dad on his side to asked me not to ride to work. .anyway, these day my mum isk asking me...why are you not riding today? 

Ok.. I do not want to argue the other side of the coin.. I just want to say as liberal as I think it should be. .You shouldn't let that fear dictate you and if it does... you gotta kick in and see if that signal of fear is worthy to set in. Some feel it is worthy to linger in their life as that will keep that safe.. that is fine.. I respect that piece of mindset.. But I could not live with that.. To a certain point in life, I would not give up but keep fighting to overcome that fear that once set in.. 

There are lotsa ways to deal with it these day and mental healing has take a quantum leaps in all sphere life..  

Now.. it is true that it is not safe to ride in KL.. there are ways to many cars. but there are precautionary measure you can take.. 

1. Ride in a less traffic areas and if you are in high traffic area..do not jump into the area which the commuters such as cars and other huge vehicles that will have high percentage of losing control should they hit you..

2. Biking is safe and yet it could be dangerous..in this context you gotta judge for yourself.. some ppl had ride 40 -60 years and never met and accident.. some are quite prone.. Even Lance Armstrong are no spared from that.. In his autobiography.. he was asked about the traffic.. somehow he felt that those huge wheelers just have this evil grin that love to bullied the cyclists and it happened to him all the time!!

3. Wear enough safety gears. It is good to see bicycle sports picking up and due to the trends of safety that is hail since a few years ago.. cycling in the urban area is much safer.. First, always wear your helmet.. There is sometime where I almost could caught a fall, I could still feel I am at some safe point where the helmet is there to protect me to a certain degree. 

4. Of course, wear visible colour clothing is important too.. and the blink blink is the most important things in a bicycle.. I always make sure my blink blink is on all the time before i went for a ride..and check time to time at the traffic to make sure it is sure on and working...

5. You gotta know your bike well and service it regularly too!! that is the most important of it all.

6. If possible, stay out of high traffic area... and the worst are those high traffic and high speeding area. 

At such, there are not much place for us to cycle so far. Putrajaya is a decent place should you live around Selangor or KL area. and genting sempah to bentong old road is cool on weekend too. 
Well, trust me.. the rate of falling from the bicycle from self mishap is greater than being bang by car.... well, ride fashionably and be in control of your speed.. I just love the speed at time.. ahahA.. 

ok..are you hitting the bottom these day or something that overwhelm you and you wanna call it a quit..well.. take a look at this fler.. Nick Vujicic.. He is born in an extraordinary physics..and yet he the problems is he choose to live an extraordinary life...yea..ppl really see that as problem as most will just call it quit and thinks its normal.. so ironic.. that is just exactly what we think sometime.. 

* Adorable fler..

* He did surfing...golfing.. well, what do u think?
