New Tyres

After buying my X-1 a year and 4 months ago, I set into a delusional state that I would not need to repair my bike as it was brand new. Yesterday, reality said hello to me in the face. I discovered that my back tyre was flat when I wanted to go to school with my brother. This is the third time my bike had a flat. Luckily there is a spare motorcycle which my older brother rides. Off to school.

On returning from school, I decided to send my X-1 to the workshop. I thought that it would be another $13 job to change the tubing. Boy was I wrong. A couple of my rim's spokes were already broken for a long time. I decided not to change as all motorbike shop I know will change the whole set. I just found that ridiculous hence ignoring the broken spokes.

So when the mechanic took apart my rear wheel, my brake pads were gone and some internal soft padding inside my rear wheel were crushed to pieces. Of course my rear tyre no longer grips. Dah botak. Changed what was needed and bought a bigger tyre.

The bigger tyre was a great investment. My peng-ibility index increased tremendously. Sekarang dah boleh peng. Rindu feeling peng. Apa nak buat, nak budget minyak, bawa moto kecik.

So total charge $114. Tawar apek $110. Habis duit Progress government.

Another long day

It will be yet another long day tomorrow. Still, I must say I am having fun learning 3D animation and modelling. Tough work but fun. Also been busy trying to pitch an animation for Children Society. They are looking for an animation on School Bully.

When I say long, I mean my day will drag from 8 in the morning till 9++pm. Still not bad really. After all I will be having 2 breaks 1 hr and 2 and a half hr.

Having my bro studying at NYP has been quite uneventful. I give him a lift to school on some days. But most of the times, it makes no difference.
