I really tio the hand foot mouth disease. Can’t go to work for a week, can’t even go out, as in not even step out of my house. Imagine watching crunchyroll for a week. Bah…
I still haven’t been able to conver the nokia video format to avi yet and I know it will be a hassle for others if I just put up a link of the file to download. After trying a few times and spend 2 days with of coz intervals of doing other things. I realize I could just upload the video to youtube even with the nokia format. Should have thought of that sooner.
Before anything I would like to talk about my Friday night riding trip at ECP. It was a pleasant night, although it was a busy day, me and moo had to rush everywhere and multi task so we are able to make the best use of time accordingly. He was the old him, not helping me when I needed help and nag at me like its none of his fault when something happens coz I got no help from him previously. Yeah he can be an ass sometimes and I totally hate it. I had a rough day because of his endless wrongfully and tactless nagging but we had a splendid night after that.
Before the night start I took the trouble to go home and change and get some things done before heading to ECP, I changed into something I don’t usually wear, Moo’s long sleeve shirt XL and Moo’s shorts, those like army shorts de. It was an L so it could do as a bermudas for me, just that it felt like its gonna drop anytime when I put my mobile in the pocket. That look of mine made moo laugh the whole time we’re on our way there on cab. Making lots of stupid comments, I had my reasons for wearing this way.
1.We’re gonna go cycle overnight, not dining in some high class place.
2.I don’t want to have sand all over my nicer clothings
3.It was a long sleeves and I already brought along his spare shirt and a jacket in my bag I didn’t want to add more weight in my bag by bringing another set for myself
4.It is super convenient, fold up if I am feeling hot, roll down when I am feeling cold
5.Again! I am not dining at some high class place, that was a practical wear for a night of cycling
But he still couldn’t stop laughing on the cab.
Met up with Jayson at the standard meeting place of ECP the Mac Donald’s. The first thing he did when he saw us was point his head with his index finger and say “ku ku ku ku” in reference to the latest steven lim video clip. It made me burst out in laughter and broke the rough day I had. We headed to beach cabana next for our expensive dinner, each of us ordered their specials and a jug of beer, ok maybe it’s not THAT expensive coz it cost about less than $90 for the three of us. Then I realize later in the night that this trip was planned by moo because he know that this is what I have been wanting to do for very long but couldn’t due to our working hours and laziness. He somehow dragged the unwilling Jayson down by giving the reason that it’s his once a long while attempt to satisfy his girlfriend and needs his help/company. This reason put the brotherly pressure on Jayson and ended up coming down. I think that’s what happen although I didn’t know how it went, but Jayson didn’t look like the type who would enjoy a night bicycle ride.
The bike they rented for me was the same as the one they rented for themselves, well they’re both tall, and I am way too short to be riding on a bike that height, especially when I can’t rest my feet on the floor when I stick out my legs. Its way to high for a poor rider like me, so I went to the shop and requested that they change the bike for me, to a shorter one of coz. To be surprise, I was in the wrong shop. When I turned around the guys weren’t there anymore, I was kinda freaked out coz my bag is with them and my phone is in my bag. I brought out the bike pulling it as I walked and look around for 2 guys and found them in another shop nearby. Tmd, they should have told me it was another shop.
I got a cooler looking bike then both of their bike add together, ^^. And I have a side mirror on the right side of the handling. Cool right? But I turn the mirror off from my view for 2 reasons.
1.I am already bad in balancing, having to look at the mirror will only throw of my balance more.
2.I’ve seen and heard far too many ghost stories to want to have a mirror with the view at the empty space of my back at night.
It is not new to moo how bad a rider I am, but it was to Jayson. Once we started riding I kind of destroyed the image of the good rider Jayson thought I was, I didn’t know what made him think that way though.
They rode fast and away, I was behind struggling to remember the 101 ways to balance a bicycle. They didn’t really leave me out of sight for the 1st half an hour I think. But they went missing a few times after that, and I decided to leave my mobile with me in case they decided to leave me out of sight for the whole night. We took breaks along our way to the jetty and had drinks and smoke breaks and looking at how cool or dump all the water boarders are. Made funny comments about them and look at this black guy who do lots of cool stunts and have half his butt line free for public to see. It was quite a sight.
We stop at the food stall nearby do drink some sugar cane and coconut and moo suggested ordering satay. It was a small satay stall right next to our seat where we park our bike too, they’re opened and the guys are hungry, why not. He went to the front of the satay stall, stick out his left hand making a number 5 and said “five chicken”, then stick out his right hand making the same number 5 and said “5 pork. “
The uncle exclaimed “where got pork!!!!!”
Moo confused “ huh? No pork ar”
Then he realize that he was ordering from a malay stall.
He came back and told us what happen, me and jayson can’t stop laughing as we recalled the ah beng version of malay stall owner tease clip. Seriously, moo wasn’t intentional. That’s what made it funnier.
We stop at the jetty a couple of times and one of it was when someone fished up a stingray. It was quite amazing, its 4 kg its big its flat its gray on top white below and with funny looking eyes and a cute mouth. I took multiple pictures of it.
It reminded me of how long it has been when I last ate a hung her… *hung her* Cantonese or hokkian I donno, but you know what I mean right. *hung her* not English. What startled me was how the fisherman carry the stingray,
Question : how would you carry something flat, slippery, with poisonous tail.
Answer:by both the eye socket which is internally connected.
Yes! If u put ur finger into its left eye socket, it would come out on its right eye socket if your finger is long enough, and that’s how you carry a stingray. The eye balls is just looking weird sticking out of the socket like it doesn’t belong there. When they flip it, the mouth looks so cute, I can’t help but take a photo of it too
the front, the eys is the slit, see it?
this is the underneath, the sad looking slit is its mouth, the holes beside is all part of the mouth, its like U but a square U, looks pretty sad isn't it?
The eye poking carry methods
Look how big it is compared to the safety metal handle at the side.
I asked if I could touch it and confirmed multiple times that they are super sure the stingray won’t suddenly slap me with its tail before I poke the stingray three times.
Its slippery
Its soft
Its slimy
I heard the guy talk about how they’re gonna cut it up later so we decided to stay a while more and see the free show. I took a video of almost their whole process. Pausing the recording once a while coz the poor sawed up stingray get covered by their shadows once a while.
After that weird experience, we finally took off and head for the loo. I don’t remember which loo trip we made, the guys went 1st while I guard the bikes, and after my turn,I came out with only my bike and no other people or bike in sight. I was a little bit freaked since there was no one in sight but didn’t rule out the fact that they might be playing a prank on me so I just took my bike and walk with it a bit away from the loo and when I look back, I saw them trying to hide behind a big stone with their bike and laugh their way out after having eye contact with me
-_-….
Halfway through the night I feel my hands full of blister pain but no blister in sight, and also stiffness coz I grip the handle too hard, well I thought the grip cause the blister pain too but now I know it’s the stupid disease.
It started raining at a point of time when we’re sitting beside a pond and resting our painful butts. We took off to seek shelter which is occupied by an old man with his tray of fire to keep himself warm. While me and moo were talking, and oblivious to what is going on around us, Jayson saw a very disturbing scene by the old man.
Apparently he said he saw the old man taking out a knife from under his mat, out of its sheath look at it for a while with a look of satisfaction before putting it back under his mat. Jayson kind of freaked out that time but didn’t do anything about it since me and moo were enjoying our own little time.
I am glad we made it out of the shelter safely in three piece that night after I heard the story from Jayson.
The rain stopped but after sometime when we’re riding near the macdonalds, it started raining again, this time I didn’t think about how to go balancing my bike but rode at the fastest speed I possibly can in order to reach mac donalds faster. Can’t afford to dilly dally and end up wet. I was surprise at the speed I was able to ride without stopping ^^
We had some hot drinks in mac donalds *phew* but moo ordered cold milo, I can’t imagine how cold I would be if I drank that. I ordered hot chocolate ^^ ooooooo and Latte for Jayson. Although he have been going about ordering a cup of hot latte, when I brought it in for him it doesn’t seems like he enjoyed latte very much at all. Moo was happily enjoying his milo for sure, just like a lil boy.
Our day kind of end like these coz our butt hurts too much and when I suggested going for another round of cycling, they give the “omg no thank you, u must be joking” look.
Moo was just dozing off and Jayson went off for work. I smoke a lil and half cycling half walking the bicycle back to the shop while moo had to bring 2 bicycles with him. Waited outside till the shop opens up and return them.
Went home, bath, SLEEP.
Wake up at night and found out a few hours after that, I have hand foot mouth disease *sobs*
Suppose to work Sunday noon but when I realize hand foot mouth disease was more serious then I thought. I decided to go doc early in the morning and get diagnosed by the doctor to see if I am fit to work, but sadly……. *sigh*I feel very sad by the fact that I gonna be grounded for a week.
I’ve never in my life been grounded by anyone before, this time I am grounded by a doctor. Oh man, how ironic this world is.
Fortunately, I’ve come across a blog by many kay poh link clicking of mine and it was one of the best finds to have. It’s just a blog alright, but it’s the funniest I’ve ever read. The owner of the blog is cute, not in looks wise since I haven’t seen his photo, but the way he think and do things is just plain cute. You should go read up too, none of his post bore me and I read up a few months of his archives at one shot without feeling tired. Well maybe tired of laughing, I laughed hysterically while reading his blog and moo turned his head over in curiosity to read what made me laugh so hard. He ended up laughing as hard.
