And The Heavens Came Crashing Down...

Rain. It seeps into my helmet through the air vent.
Trickles down my cheek as I navigate my way through the tangle of traffic.
Pelters against my tepid skin, and coaxes my goosebumps to life. A sheen of
steam rises from the raindrops as they make contact with my engine casing
and my exhaust endcan. The sound of falling rain filters through the fibreglass
and cushion of my helmet, attempting to calm me, but serving only to reflect the
disquiet in my soul. I am lost. As lost as the wandering raindrop falling to meet
the ground, joining a myraid others, meandering aimlessly until it falls into the
drain, rushed away by the rentless torrents.

The day started out well. Good start of the week with the students. No cock ups
in class. Everything was settled fast so I could leave school early to accompany
WeiQuan to have his bike done up as well as have my new brakepads fitted on.
Met him at Swiss Cottage Secondary and went together in the rain to Ubi. I
initially thought that I could outpace the rain but as it turned out, the rainclouds
blanketed the entire island. Turns out WeiQuan's Aprillia is in pretty bad shape.
The previous workshop he'd been to charged him $175 for a new piston, which
was way too cheap. From what I know, they just smoked up something to squeeze
that extra dough from the poor fella. His piston looked really burnt out to me and
couldn't have been just 2 months old. Poor guy...he was so turned off by the
magnitude of repairs required, but perked up when he realised that he could use
it as an excuse not to sell his bike and continue riding. Heh heh..

Got a double whoopie today. After walking back to the bikeshop after lunch, I got
the best surprise of the year. The one thing I've been self-steaming about, the one
thing I've only been priviledged to see via the internet, was sitting in the place my
bike used to occupy...(they'd pushed my bike out)
YES YES!!! ITS THE FREAKING FIRST YAMAHA YZF R6 '05 MODEL~!!!
I TOUCHED IT! I SAT ON IT! I ACTED LIKE I OWNED IT!!! HAHAHAHA
I'M CUMMING~!!!
The radial mounted brakes, the inverted fork....oooohhhh~and that's not all..
I walked in, and saw the R6 '04 model inside....double orgasm babe~
The sleek contours...the liquid black paintwork...and Ah Lian's gonna take it to race
it? What a waste! Give it to me man~!!
I WANT MY R6~!!! I was so damn ready to push in my SV...but well..heck~I still
have got 11 months to go.

After that, we went to Ah Boy where I met Elroy to pass him the road tax disc and
inspection letter. Had dinner there before I went to Simvader's place to get the
digital camera and look for the Fast Bikes Mag Calander....but...sold out...sigh~
They have Feb's issue in January.....had January's issue in December..wtf....I want
my calender.....

Sent WeiQuan home. Went to her place. Realised on reaching the carpark at her
place that I'd shrunk my chicken strips, meaning I had achieved a lower lean angle.
How totally fulfilling~!

Met her to pass her the books and her shampoo that she'd left behind. Somehow,
the same old topic was brought up again. She kept denouncing herself, and made it
all seem like she was trying to get me to break up with her, to spare her the decision
of who to choose. I dunno. Call me a fool, but I simply just couldn't bear the thought
of being without her, being denied the opportunity of holding her, hugging her...
Totally dampened my day that had up till then been almost pristine. Just like the
weather today. She cried. Told me she was sorry. Told me she regretted saying all
she had said. Confusing. Saying one thing at one moment, regretting at the very next
instance. I really don't know what to expect. Will she remain true to her word? Or
will we fall back to square one? I cannot be sure. Too disappointed to dare hope for
the best. But touched by her tears. Haiz...

Riding hard, fast, safely AND taking a few corners.
