Sneak Preview...
So I touched down Sat night, came home to put down my bags, & then headed out to Sin "for a little while" despite my green machine being unable to start. As Jess pointed out though, it never really is "just a little while", & I ended up chatting outside until goths started flowing out the door & down the stairs...
About 2 or 3 hours of sleep later, I accompany my dad & a few other mid life crisis guys on a Honda NSX cruise up along the Swan Valley through to Chittering, stopping by Elmar's by the valley for a massive pork knuckle & a meatloaf.
Yes, there was a Cobra too...
Objects in the rear view mirror...
Stopped by Peter Brock's crash site memorial thingie...
Carpark @ Elmar's looking pretty pretty...
So after the cruise, still running on very little sleep from a massively Madd week in Singapore (...much thanks to Amir; the Botanical Gardens, mini audition gig @ Ben&Jerry's ice cream parlour, late night supper & Bangalore Bum with girls who are still fun =P, Sentosa for luging & Café Del Mar, THE PRODIGY, Clarke Quay, supper @ Simpang again, the Singapore zoo & night safari, oyster omelette & sting ray & tulang @ Newton, girls & boys, Mambo night @ Zouk wtf, teppanyaki, & a very very brief but intense shopping spree... ...followed by 2 late night recording sessions.)*, I went to go pick up my bike & prepared to head down to the Rock'n'Roll car boot sale, which was prety rad. Caught up with my girls Jade & Jaimee & their awesome aprons, even though I didn't think they'd look much good on me, but still... Got myself tiny Gollywog clay figurines from Janelle. Got down to Tombstone still in time to see everyone waiting for their food, & eventually got to eat...
*Pictures soon!
Monday I went back to school to beg for a job, & ended up doing relief for the last 2 periods. The kids seem to have missed me, most of them smiling at me in the corridors, some complaining about their current teachers. I tell them to keep their fingers crossed for me that I have a job. Some of the few staff that I bumped into were also all smiles & all, I'm hoping that its a good sign. After school, I went with dad to 5star Yamaha to check out the new V Star 950, but I really didn't like it, so I told him to go check out Honda instead to check out the Honda Shadow 1300. We left the shop considering an almost new (Dec '08) Honda Shadow 750 (in red & cream instead of the blue & cream in the picture) with after market exhaust pipes. Once we heard the sound of the bike, our hearts both melted pretty much straight away.
So today after lunch, we went back to Honda to pick up the bike, & we rode out to Cannington to show off his new bike to his Lebanese mafia friends, & they give a semi approving look. "Sounds alright mate, but its not a Harley..." We swapped bikes & I rode the new beast home. Oh my god, I was almost cumming all the way home. Now I need to start searching for a nice exhaust I can put on my V Star 250... =P
Oh right, I almost forgot the point of this post. I'll be editing photos in most of my other free time now, whilst I'm still unemployed & sort of broke-ish. So yeah, watch this space!
Mr Siow on a kid rider... (Also, check out my fnky new ninja shoes from Japan!)
Found this old pic in my dad's office. Jon Madd, age 5.
...from little things, big things grow.
I question everything, & believe in nothing...
