Empty Promises

hey the world! BONGIORNO!

heh, its still abit of a novelty to come out here and write posts, letters, soul-sharing experiences to seemingly everybody and nobody all at once. its almost unnerving to be able to so easily have an outlet for every pore in your body, be it joys, mundane happenings or angst at the world.

well! i've let the blog down with an empty promise about sharing more about cycling, but you know, i don't quite think it'd be quite so interesting hearing about how we go up and down hills in singapore till we get dizzy, get faint, puke all over the grass, require our coach to lay down mats on the grass so we can postulate all over before crawling back onto our bikes to roll down the hill and do it all over again. And neither do i think itd be good to bare all the dirty talk that we cyclists inevitably get up to when we spend so many hours on the roads with each other in such close proximity only clad in tight bright lycra...

anyhows! think my serious racing days are actually reaching a twilight. i took me a while to come to terms with my decision, but i'm definately stepping into a new chapter of my life right now, and its time to drop some dreams and come to settle for achievable realities. i'll be starting my own bike shop soon! ms hot pink's been good with coming up with catchy names for the shop, haha, so if it eventually sounds horrible, pls direct all blame at her, tel number: 98**4 2*2...

it'll be another challenge to try do what my passion lies in, but to earn my keep, bring the bacon home, put the bread on the table, etc, etc ,etc. its been crazy days of doing countless viewings of shops, talking to a whole array of agents who seemingly are as diverse as the fish of the sea, ones who wake up at 6, call you at 7 and expect you to be at the place by 8, and others who let the world pass you by and ask for heaven and earth for their proud miserable dirtholes... i'm sure they've been totally turned-off by us though, heh, we've seen former bank branches covering a sprawling 4500sq feet, only a miserly $9,000 in rental of course, complete with bank vaults and unimpregnable 3 foot thick stainless steel doors! i'm sure they'll hear from us soon enough... =)

in the meantime though, we're off to Perth! haven't caught the family there for almost 8 months now, so it'll be good to catch an autumn barbie, chill at the huge beaches south and soak in some fresh air. it'll definately be time to be treasured with the work to come ahead... till next! ciao~
