next up, pictures of Loop de Mandai with Jambion Low Suthep and currently 21-years-1-day-old sister!

all loaded for the ride!

decided to be vain and wear ankle socks

cloudy sky........

picking up my first companion Jambion Low Suthep with a newspaper tucked in his pocket, his cheater Easton wheels, and his custom made jambion helmet that says "LOW JI WEN", "2009 Singapore National Champion"

here comes the sister!

Jambion drafting!!!!

and finally, the not so happy ending - a rear flat on the cheater Easton wheels, making them not so cheater anymore...a nail pierced through it along Kranji reservoir and poor about-to-bonk-Jambion had to ride on it for half an hour before we could swap with my sis's wheel at NTU

no more pictures cos i spend most of the time worrying if the Jambion was fine and if the pace was alright for the sis, etc. i shall bring the camera along next time!

TWO days to Laos

FIVE days to my event

hi friends, prepare yourself for pictures, pictures and more pictures!
First up,

Pretty pretty Starbucks Coffee mug! very pretty and christmassey! the penguin is so cute! and it matches my bedsheets!Given by MOK, for christmas! :)
Next, JohnChin gave me this custom made Nike Shirt! Long story as to why he got it for me...haha!

Bought a new handphone! Samsung Omnia Pro 7330. the old one was really cranky so i traded it in

Now, time for BIKE STUFF! In preparation for the SEA Games, Uncle Robert Choy lent me CARBON CRANKS, DISC POWERTAP as well as ZIPP 404.  VIOLENT! After the bike was built up and I was supposed to train with it, I didnt DARE to touch it! but of course in the end I did la and it was AWESOME! Super light! Check it out! Looks soooo fierce

Gaerne also sponsored my NEW WHITE SHOES! Thanks to Jackie from Actionbods for brining it in for me! She got them to specially DHL it to Singapore so that I could get used to it asap for the Games!

I also got a free pair of OAKLEY RADAR, red and white, just like my bike/helmet/shoes/everything else. Thanks to Joey from Oakley Singapore! I see the world much clearer now. hahaha!

Not forgetting a new nutrition sponsor! Science in Sport (SiS) has joined my long list of sponsors in supporting me! :) Thanks to Patrick for taking me in! Here are the products that i've tried so far:

Rego Strawberry – Recovery Drink. It's Delicious! I love this product the best! It tastes exactly like a strawberry milkshake, not like any other protein shake that I’ve taken before (they all have this weird protein taste). It helps me recover from a hard training session and it is definitely something I look forward to at the end of training!

Go Lemon Lime – Electolyte Drink. Very refreshing taste! Gives me a boost of energy whenever I take a sip of it during my long rides in the sun.

PSP22 Orange – A carbohydrate drink. Keeps me going during my long rides and prevents me from bonking. I don’t feel as tired as the times when I just drink plain water during my rides.

Go Gel – As the name says, its a gel. It was my first time ever eating a gel and the experience was WONDERFUL. I was climbing a mountain during my training camp in Chiang Mai and I my legs were feeling extremely tired. After eating a gel – it was so delicious and tasty I finished it up in a few seconds – I immediately felt better and had more energy to push my heart rate up. The gel tasted like jelly and it wasn’t too sweet or too sticky. I love it.

GO Bar – They use real fruit juices to make the snack bar! I like the apple blackcurrant flavour. It’s a good bar if I am hungry on a ride and need a solid snack. It's huge too...it took me 3 days to finish 1 bar. haha!

Nocte – A night drink that helps with recovery, for consecutive tranining days. Chocolate rocks, just like having a night cuppa milk before going to bed.

and finally, thanks to NIKE for supporting me! check out the number of bags i had to carry back from the lil visit to the office...........looks like i just got back from a warehouse sale or something. Thanks Andrew! And all the best for your IRONMAN! (i dun think he even reads my blog. hahaha) the stuff inside will be left for another day...........

I THANK GOD FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS, ALL THESE STUFF THAT HE'S GIVEN TO ME IS OVERWHELMING!

okay this post took me extremely long. that's why i don't like to blog....but since i have all the time in the world now, that's why i blogged. hahaha! alrighty enough nonsense. i'll leave it to another post to show you guys the pictures from Monday's lil field trip to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

one last thing: TAPERING ROCKS MY SOCKS!
