A lot of positives

Going home on Friday from work, the traffic was real bad but I was on my motorbike. So it was not a problem for me. For that reason alone, the bike is priceless. My daily routine has also changed. If before, I leave the house at about 6.20 am in the morning. Now I leave the house at 7am or even later. I can also choose to leave the office anytime I like. Not like before when I have to wait for the traffic to clear a bit, which most of the time, it never did. So, there's been a lot of positive since getting myself a bike. Now, on weekends I drive the car to make sure the battery is charged.

Wow! A lot of saving

What I like most about using a bike is when I go to the petrol station. If those days it would be at least  RM 50 or even RM 100, now its RM 4 or 5 only. This can last me for about three to four days. That means in a month, my petrol bill is only about RM 50 at the most. Wow! That's real saving especially in times when the petrol price is ever increasing. Now it makes me wonder, why didn't I buy the motorbike earlier?

Increase competency

Riding a bike is not so difficult once you get the hang of it. I'm a bit more competent now than I was when I first started riding it less than a week ago. As time goes on, I'm sure my competency will increase. Formula one racing is dangerous but for whom? Not for Vettel or Schumacher or Lewis Hamilton. Why? because they have the necessary skill. They are competent. Off course its dangerous for us because we don't have the skill. Similarly with the bike. It will not be dangerous if you have the skill.

Working late again

I was in the office till 10.30pm last night. Had to finish a paper that was rejected for being too simple that it doesn't tell anything. I admit it was my mistake. I wanted it to be simple so that it will be easily understood but I instead ended up telling nothing of significant that people don't understand nothing. By the time I reached home, it was already 11.30pm......sigh.......that's the way it is now. I never for once imagine that after retirement I would be doing such things again. Not only that. Its even more hectic now.  

How things can change

Just about a month ago, Arsenal was down in the dumps. Beaten on the opening day of the present campaign, no new signing in the offing, booed by their own supporters, the players morale and confidence at an all time low, it got you asking, what else can go wrong with Arsenal? One month later, they are top of the league, winning five matches on the trot in all competitions, completed a major signing that is the envy of every club, the players confidence sky high, what else can go right with Arsenal?

So fast

Successfully negotiated through the traffic and arrived safely on my motorbike. Getting the feel again of weaving and squeezing, making my way through the little path that presents itself among the countless vehicles on the road. 

Last Saturday I had my dinner at a restaurant along the main road in Senawang. What was surprising was the service. The food we ordered arrived in no time at all, so fast. In all my dining experience, this was the fastest. I never thought it possible to be this fast but this restaurant did it. They must know something that others don't know. The food was good too. Very well cooked.

Much ado over nothing

Ashes? What's the big fuss over it?
