Our first ride on 小旋风!

30 September 2011

小旋风之 1 Fast 3 Furious (why 3... see below peektures)!

Last evening after our dinner and a briefing from ah Thaing on 'how to operate and set alarm...", we set off for our first ride on 小旋风 !  ++LOL++

Edna brought her two nieces along but they were so "sticky" towards her and refused to let her go on her own... and no choice, she had to stunt into this "Tricyclist"-mode.  She seemed to be very expert in this stunt, maybe she did alot of practice already.  ++HAHA!++ 

The weight for both ah Thiang and moi are too heavy for him to even balance himself before we can move off... so I only managed to seat behind him and snap a photo and we are on our own turns...  I didn't know cycling aroung my estate was so much fun!  Am sure going another ride this weekend.  :)

It's teeee-geee-ayeee-efffff! eeeee-yeeee-eeeehhh!  :)

我们的小旋风!

... vroom vroom VROOM!!!  ++HONK HONK++

Suppose to collect the e-bicycle on coming Saturday but we did it during lunch yesterday!  So impromptu!!!  It was a long drive to Toh Guan Road East....  The manager Royston (I think he is the boss) was helpful and friendly.  He personally went through on how to operate this heavy e-bicycle and highlighted the 4 locking system as it special features... safety rules like riding on the side of the road with helmet... blah blah and blah... (imagine he has to go thru 24x times of briefing!)  There were four colors - Orange, Black, Grey and Silver and I am spoilt for choices!

Ben and Ryanm came along and test-ride the e-bicycle... the pick up rate was turbo fast.  I was warned but FWAH, the rate that picked me up was terrifiying.  My heart beat still pumping super fast... feels like a gush of invisible 气 to FLY!  There were alot of heavy vehicle passing by so I didn't really test out the ride but we can see that Ben enjoyed himself during the test-ride.

I bought a helmet (not so cool looking...  Ryanm suggested I get a full-face helmet - the 天诺有情 wannabe!) and still super buay zai becasue this e-bicycle is blardly heavy!  Battery pack alone weighed 20KG.  Maintaining e-bicycle wasn't an easy job... looks like they have to be sent in for servicing every 6months-9months... the annual overhaul cost about S$200!  Charging of the battery is required at least once a month even if we don't ride it.

It was super tempting to 'upgrade' 小旋风 with a top-up of S$800 to a Tornado Light (super sleek - in white!).  ah Thiang and I loved it the moment we stepped into the store for redeemption!  It was beautifully mounted on the window dispay.  We held back the impulsiveness for upgrade and went back with our 小旋风...  :)

小旋风 is temporarily parked in the living hall because I wasn't home on time last evening to brief my papa on 'How to Operate" and set the alarms so that we can park her outside our home...  By this morning, I am infused with the new home frangrance 小旋风's tyre smell!  Muahahahaha~

WON a Tornado 16series E-Bicycle!!!

The Hossan Leong Show returns!  Attended the 1st and 2nd eposide from the last 2years and how can we missed the 3rd eposide running?  As expected, we ended the night with so much laughs!!!

Highlights of the show:

All the drama of the General Election 2011 but with more tongues in cheeks and fewer tears on faces!  Judee Tan's commanding performance as a certain youngest Member of Parliament whose association with Kate Spade bags happens to be bigger than her political vocation, was hilariously spot on.  Perfectly executed, even right down to the posture, Judee delivered an uproarious punch with her parody of the infamous "Meet the People Session".

One of the show's biggest laughs came from Chua Enlai and Judee Tan's side-splitting moments as the Western paranormal doctor and traditional Chinese physician respectively, both characters, a reprisal from last year's episode two.  Returning this time as television hosts of a new program, they "travel many worlds - both the humanly world and the supernatural world" to exorcise ghosts.  The over-stayed, Mdm Bibik Lim, made a guest appearance - as a ghost -in the Supernatural World segment.

A new game show segments that we can all relate to like “So you think you can ... Tahan?” - I participated furiously and guessed what...  I WON A TORNADO 16SERIES ELECTRICAL BICYCLE!!!  I was screaming like mad when they announced my seat number!  ++YEAH YEAH YEAH++

Confirm!  Double confirm!!  Tripple confirm!!!

After the show, I even tweeted about my winnings.  What surprised me was, Hossan Leong replied my tweet and Mr Miyaki RT my tweet too!  This is SO much fun!!!

I ended my night very late... in fact, 2+am in the morning!  My aunt and I rushed home after the show to send my parents off to their 10D Tibet tour.  Had supper at T3 and maybe I got too excited and only managed to doze off at wee hours.  :P

Show you my new toy!  Oh boy, I have been wanting to buy a bicycle... now I WON an electrical bicycle!  ++COOL huh!++

+++I only can collect my e-bicycle 3~4weeks from now+++
