Enjoy Youth Day, youths! (while you can)



Happy Youth Day, youths!

Today 05/07 had a class outing at East Coast Park. 11 people turned up. Fun (:

Started the day off by meeting Sam at Yakun, Whitesands. The bread was shiok. So were the half-boiled eggs. Hurried down to Bedok to meet the rest.

Saw shaza, cherylnn, teck, shanzhi, hanyang, zhihao, suzanne at the control station. We went to meet serena at the interchange(and take 196).

We got our bikes/skates at Ki Runners(they really do stock up on their bikes). Headed towards the Changi side, with me, sam and shaza skating, serena running, and the rest cycling. It didn't stay that way for long. Soon shaza's pair of skates went around among the girls, and teck had a shot at sam's pair. Me? I just prefer skating to cycling.


Graffiti (thats Zhihao in front)

Along the way, i saw this entire wall(or rather, metal sheets) of graffiti. I had no idea who was at hand, but they certainly look nice.


Pit stop

We had a few breaks here and there, at the breakwater even. The sea breeze was enough to make you sleep standing up. Harsh weather nowadays.

Risky Business

We met SPC on 196 and had Pastamania for lunch afterwards. It wasn't long before everyone separated and left for home. Tiring, but enjoyable workout.



Since i'm on the topic of skates, i brought mine along today to give it some seasoning. I got the pair for a good bargain(last Sunday). They were originally priced at $366 SGD. But, RollerBlade(the brand) had their 50 percent off sale, and so, luck was on my side. $183 SGD was more than worth it for an above-average pair of skates.


Rollerblade Crossfire TFS Skates Mens 07

The stats(there's a whole list, but i'll just list out the main ones)

Bearings: SG-7 (I'm satisfied enough with an ABEC 5, but this was a pleasant surprise)
Wheels: Rollerblade Lite Standard Hub 82mm 82A Wheels (just nice)
Design: See above.
Frame: Aluminum ALU-Tech Frames - Max Wheel Size 84mm (Seemed better than Composite ones)
Laces & Buckles: TFS Power Lace and Ratcheting Buckle Closure (no more lace-tying)

Diablo 3 has revived the Diablo fan in me, i've started on D2 again! But i'm not fighting alone. Leon, Sam and SPC are my regular playmates. It doesn't get any more fun than this. We're coming, Diablo (:




No screenshots(the above isn't one), due to D2 running in low-colour mode. Screenshots turn out with poor definition and colour. What a pity.

I shan't play too much though, there's work to be done, after my appalling results in the JCTs. I'm off to complete some Math tutorials, goodbye.
