Introducing Prof Fedor Duzhin.......I guess introductions are in order here. This is my calculus lecturer for the past one year...and i guess everyone in the class owe it to him for saving our necks from the CGPA system. He is going to be 30 years old in 45 minutes time and given certain time constraints, we decided to celebrate his birthday 2 days early.
He lives on campus and Boon Chong and i somehow managed to get his address via msn (we spun a story of us wanting to drop in on him at around 9pm plus after a jog.....honestly i guess he didn't fall for it...though an oscar he deserves for the surprised look he gave us at the door when we burst in on him with a Russin version of Happy Birthday we learnt from Azat 20 minutes beforehand........which failed miserably and had to subbed with a "lalalalala" humming of the song. We did do it again in English after that.
The cake was a 1.5 kilo choco truffle we ordered form this place on campus called the Quad (cake was seriously good). I stuffed it in the art school's student lounge's fridge, access thanks to roomie. Kick ass large fridge.......ok, so it was normaly sized....still looked kick ass large compared to the bar one in my room :P
Anyways, we met up at around 9.30 pm and the 18 of us marched off to Nanyang Heights Apartments.........

the march......
.......and we march somemore.....
and we climb some stairs.......
and we surprised him......(honestly think he was not...good acting though...)
chocolate truffle cake...nice....
Audrey and Tong Wei grinning widely after banana milkshake with a dash of rum
watching a blowpipe in action with fascination...
Zin, Audrey, Newkiy, Tao Tao, me, Azat, Mee Cheng, Boon Chong , Vee and You Quan went for a round of football in the carpark after seeing Fedor. We usually play footy (Newkiy, Audrey, BC, me, Meech and You Quan at around 10 or 11pm in one of the carparks around campus, but with an additional 4 guys, the girls were crowded out. Audrey is an unusually good striker....guess 2 additional defenders doesn't help her much.
We were interrupted at around 1 am by Campus Security. Chap was polite unlike the younger security guard a week ago. That chap just grunted and huffed.

Bike Rally
awww....We had a mini training session on Friday, before the 128km bike rally on sunday. Rented bikes for 8 SGD for 3 hours at East Coast Park and we set off.
Went along the Nicoll Highway to the Esplanade and the Fullerton Hotel area. Bloody nice place. Did not get a chance to take pics by the Merlion though.
Meech kept falling off her bike. ROLF. We kept negotiating the narrow bike lanes and she couldn't keep up.
Tong Wei had a little drama too along the way. Her lousy bike's chain slipped off about 5km from ECP and I had to cycle back looking for her and Meech when I realised those two had disappeared. Had it fixed by the time Newkiy, Audrey and Lei realised what had happened and turned around.
The bikes we rented. Lei, Newkiy, Audrey (on her own bike..its a GT Outpost...a damn good bike...and Meech). We're near the Singapore Indoor Stadium.Went along the Nicoll Highway to the Esplanade and the Fullerton Hotel area. Bloody nice place. Did not get a chance to take pics by the Merlion though.

crossing a roadLedt campus at 5am on Sunday. The sports club had 4 busses to transport us to ECP. Most of us got a standard Polygon mountain bike with Shimano gears. I must admit, those bikes were damn good compared to the ones i have ridden before (excluding Audrey's Outpost). No butt padding though, so our arses hurt to high heaven after 11 hours on the road.
YES..
128km on a mountain bike takes 11 hours for an amateur road biker to cover.
And you can't feel your arse after that!!!
my friend and butt torturer for 11 hoursYES..

I only say Audrey and her friend with a kick ass bike thrice the whole day. They were bloody fast on their ultralight MTBs.
before we set off..me, Newkiy and Meech
BC is still going strong after 22km
At all pitstops, we were given Gatorade, sandwiches, bananas and Gardenia raisin buns...bananas were always the first to go.

Lei and Audrey discussing how fast to go
Lei and Audrey discussing how fast to goI have trouble taking photos on a bike on the highway, so this is where the pics end. On my birthday, i tortured myself for 11hours, after which a had dinner and slept for another 11 hours.
Happy 20th year to me!!!
