Like a Smelly Jackfruit Falling

I'm definitely going to get myself one of these... A Specialized Stumpjumper. OOOOOO. Been saving up. I'm proud to say I've accumulated a whopping $6.80 in my Stumpjumper Fund. Only $5,500++ to go. Hoho.

I'm now a bonafide mat. Last weekend alone, I nearly got into 4 road accidents while I was on my bike. 2 at traffic junctions whilst crossing the road, which were my fault, and 2 more while I was cornering at the petrol station near my house.

My rear tyre was almost flat, for some unkonwn reason, and I didn't realise it, so as I was speeding down the hill, and leaning into the turn, my rear tyre slipped out under me, and I almost fell, but I managed to reccover. And being a future unsafe motorbike rider, I tried weaving in between 2 adjacent cars between petrol pumps, and my rear tyre slipped again when I tried going around the car. Thank god the cars stopped.

Then earlier that day, something stupid happened to me. After a round at the MTB park, Aud needed to go home. So we got Pocari from Cheers. As we were parting ways, cos I wanted to do a few more rounds at Tamp, I leaned into the turn as I usually do, but this time, my pedal struck the ground as I was turning and I fell.

WAH! So embarassing. I fell to the side, my knee was slightly grazed, and I hit the side of my head on the ground. My first fall in close to 3 months. Hoho. What a humbling fall. I guess I'm not ready to go buy my Kawasaki... Haha.

So many near accidents, and guess what? I got my driving license. Haha. No points deducted for failure to check safety, and the next day, 2 cars almost knock me down. Lol. I guess there'll be no motorbike license for me...

And despite all the luck I've been having lately, I got to return something back to fate. I got to do IPPT. Yes, I was exempted from IPPT due to my knee injury, but now, somehow, I got called. And my beloved officer has taken the liberty to train me personally. He said he might as well do so, as he's training for some marathon. Wah leow eh. After his PT session on Monday, my whole upper body hurts like hell.. Argh.

On a sidenote, I think these training sessions will be a blessing in disguise. I'll be fitter and closer to acheiving my goal of completing 100km of trail continuously by next Feb.

Oh, and to you skeptics out there, I'm fitter than I look. Lol. At least this applies to that guy who thought he could easily lap me during the run, but instead found it hard to even catch up. And puking after the run because of your 'headache' didn't add much street cred to you. lol.

You owe me an Iced tea, bub.
