27 Jun 08 Go Red Rider!

Author: Jeneral // Category: , ,

Picture Taken From MadBoutItaly

Dear Bloggy,

Today I had an exciting experience.
Riding Pillion on my friend's Red Vespa!

He rode to work today, taking me along.
It was certainly windy, more windy than riding in a car.
Unless, riding in a convertible (which I rode a few times)
Thanks Grandad!

It certainly was a different experience, weaving between cars.
Feeling the engine rev right under your butt.
Doesn't quite encourage me to get my own bike.
But still it's a wonderful new experience.



After Work, I packed my room.
Went to gym with SQ.
Saw a huge rat at the foodcourt! OMG
Dad picked up an handsfree set for me!
Exciting Happy Day!

^^Praise God for a Happening Week!^^

The Return Drive 21.04.08

Author: Jeneral // Category:


I awoke this morning feeling rather sleepy. I had not the full amount of rest I should had have. Nonetheless, I took a bath, took the car to refuel and drove to Princess's House all the way in Boon Lay.

The drive was pretty much smooth, but very long. My princess was most appreciative when I picked her up and drove her to the Mac @ East Coast for breakfast.

After having breakfast, we drove down to return the car @ Marine parade. After which we visited parkway parade to walk around. Princess bought her own PowerCard @ the Timezone Arcade there.



After the Arcade, Princess wanted to have PastaMania for lunch, so we ended up eating Pasta. Particularly only 1 type of Pasta...

PastaMania was having some promotion & we managed to get the student meal and a ball from the vending machine outside the restaurant, Princess had so much fun opening it.

After a short rest, it was homeward bound for both of us.

Hui Man's Birthday 20.04.08

Today was Hui Man's birthday! Special day for him as he turns 20 this year.

Poor fellow got quite humiliated when he was asked to parade around Hall 9 with a whiteboard saying "It's my birthday today, Wish Me!"

He has to gather 20 signatures as proof, and as his cell group, a huge entourage followed him around as he made his rounds. I must say, I was most surprised when Ps Roland sealed HM's Birthday with a might kiss. OMG!

Dad, Mum and Bro came to pick me up after service in the car. I drove to the airport to pickup my uncle from London. After the pickup, we drove to eat at a place in Bedok, unfortunately there was a road show going on and parking and tables were in short supply.

We relocated to Tamp where we had dinner and sent my uncle to Hilton hotel. During which I got lost on the highway. There should be a big sign that says Orchard Road on the highway!

Tomorrow, I pickup Princess to return the car, stay tuned!

Drip & Drive 19.04.08

Today, We are up against Killer U-turns.
Getting Lost In Toa Payoh.
And a Beer Garden.

Welcome to another episode of "Rent & Drive".
This is your host Jeneral!

Hi & welcome, this evening, we cover the day's events.
A simple drive to Ikea and Giant ended up with a dripping scare.
At the U-turn, it was terribly narrow.
The car ended climbing up the curb when it reached the U-turn.
(That road shouldn't have a U-turn sign there)
When it reached Ikea, we discovered a constant drip drip of water under the bonnet.

We bought a large rear view mirror to compensate for the small in car one.
Then we drove home to rest.
Later, a check revealed the car was still dripping water.
Hmm, wonder if that is normal?

Eitherway, we left in the evening to reach Bishan.
Driving by PIE, we got lost in Toa Payoh.
Finally making it out to our intended destination: Beer Garden.
They sell pretty good seafood.
No beer considering my family don't drink.

Took a shortcut and went home by CTE, PIE.
Home Sweet Home.
To play my newly acquired Sims 2 Nightlife.
Thanks for listening.

Dear Bloggie,

A Slight change in plans.
The guy at the car rental center changed his mind.
He didn't accept verbal agreements....???
Didn't give me my Matrix as expected, and didn't have a P Plate for me either.

Instead I ended up with a few months old Proton Gen 2 (looks older thought).
Rearview mirror absolutely terrible.
But handling is alright.
Interior isn't bad either.
