My dear mother called me last night.
She calls me, and normally asks how i'm doing, do i need any cash , hows school life , when am i coming home , ...... well you get the picture...
And so she called me, and immediately asked me wether i had been cycling. To which i quite naturally answered yes. I can never lie to my mother. Yes, this seems very small kiddy of me, but when asked a direct question, i can either avoid it or tell the truth. Guess the lying part was whacked out of me by the numerous canings and slaps i got as a kid from my aunts, uncles and parents.
Anyway, after i answered yes, she gave my a motherly shelling along these lines:
Ma : Have you been cycling?
Me : Yes
Ma : What did i tell you? You just broke your hand and want to be a hero is it? Go sell your bike now i tell you
Me : But, its the only hobby i have! I'll be bored without it!
Ma : I don't care. Your studies are more important. Do you want to end up in hospital again? Promise me you'll sell your bike.
Me : WHAT? But....
Ma : PROMISE ME!
Me : *silence*............... ok ok ok.......
Ma : Good..... so when are you coming home?
Me : In june after my projects are over....
Ma : Ok, good. I'll put down the phone now. Bye
And so, as of now, my biking days are over until next year. To be quite honest, i feel lost. A hobby gives me some sort of stability, some form of release, something to let me take my mind of things for a bit.
Which is why as of now , i shall be dabbling in BEAM-botics. Building small, cheap , simple robots which run on solar power. It's fun, will give me experience in basic robotics and i can always gift my creations (if any, fingers crossed) to my besties.
And so, my dear Jamis, i bid adieu. May you new owner be as loving as the one who tortured you heartless, for which i beg forgiveness.
PS: A dark blue 2009 Jamis Trail X2, orignial price SGD 550, is now on sale for a mere SGD300. I'll throw in a saddle pouch and LED lights for free.
