Got me ALIGN Trex 100

It was a nice summer like day  as i head towards my friends bike shop, park and walk my way to R/C Hobby shop for minor parts mods to welcome my upcoming r/c monster truck.  In there i was about to made a purchase when suddenly in the corner of my eyes caught my attention on something looks familar from Youtube. It was that instant moment i knew i must have one,  Its ALIGN TREX 100s micro heli, hobby grade! Stuff is for pro and not something to be called kids toys..its serious stuff for adults. With my mind instantly erased i've paid $500 and sped on my bike towards home like little kids with birthday present. Unpacked, lots of touching and hugging and then straight for outdoor after the battery was fully charged.   Was an awesome heli being outdoor, this little critter wants to be outdoor even it was recommended indoors and did well going against moderate winds (if you're good pilot).  Durable, less parts assembly, cheap parts, its a bash, crash and fly heli that doesn't burn my pocket and gets me going even in my work place.  I could have gone with Blade MSR but my local hobby shop and nearest online shop supply bulks of Trex 100 parts so i couldn't complaint much.  After weeks of flying i think it was money well spent and good skillset earned.  I have gain some tech knowledge consider useful for real world application plus a good karma for my soul after seeing something flying freely up into the blue sky and white puffy clouds.  Its was beautiful experience!

A change for tour de walk

I wonder what so doubtful and insane about walking back and fro from work place on foot when the distance is "just" 10.7KM  (Oh btw my previous best record on foor was 68KM hiking around Kuching country side per-day). My co-worker and friends was disbelief except for my closest friends wasn't all surprise since it normal for me to do throughout my entire life.   "Just" means its a small matter for me since i been through worst than that.  It was because that day someone accidentally locked the room which store my bike so i ended up walking back home walking such distance over crowded urban, hills and corridor of unsecure street till sunset.  No big deal.  Yesterday took me 1 and half hour to reach home with handful of rock pebbles for security against raging street dogs.  First option i always have a sedan car to drive easily but i think it consume too much budget on fuel per-month and hassle to park around, so i save some road rage a decided to go second option that is my trusty road bike which already bought long time ago for commuting purposes which took only ETA 20 mins to arrive.   The third is walking.  Why walk?   Because i felt it will be more adventurous, thrills, healthy, building up my manly sets of leg muscles and skills plus nothing more relaxing than walking on the under the beautiful orange sunset sky and cool breeze from the sea...you don't get much feeling when you're driving under the roof.  That night i felt good, easily fell asleep after dinner then again the next morning i felt extra set of walking muscle began to emerge.  10.7 digits seems small for me but looking through Google Map visually it looks pretty scary when i see the distance i've covered no to mention after i surveyed the distance on other places that i've been doing it the same.  At the end i smiled and manage to keep the 20 years of recordes and achievement for not using public Buses nor Taxi for similar intention.  Walking rocks.

2 bike, doubles me

In the past i had dozen of bike for hardcore riding but lived individually before the next replacement,  this time i have a pair all at once which makes it doubles to up keep their mechanical health consume both budgets and time.  Fortunately both have different roles to serve me on land.  Thankfully their benefit outwieght their overall cost in area of health, leisure and transporation  as concerned.  My GIANT TRACE mtb seems to top everything both quality and performance at pro level while the MERIDA road bikes lacks top notch performance parts serve only for commuting and training.   This year expenses goes mostly on my road bike which need further tailoring and customization from ground up due to some flaw when i ride on it possiblity of un-ergonomic parts, gear shifts and pain on my hands.   Stock saddles almost killed my crotch which goes on for days  but after putting stake on new SEPCIALIZED saddle with ergo Gel + Body Geometry thingy for RM$280 finally no more painful crotch, its better than future injury or surgery like what Lance Armstrong went through.  Road clothings, shoes, acessories all needed to fit road biking needs all added up.
