What to do this weekend

Hmmm, what to do this weekend. Lately I have been scouring the country for Swensens to eat at. I have secretly been doing a "check" on all the stores!!
Causeway Point - done
Compass Point - done
Northpoint - done
orchard - done
Marine Pde - done
So far my conclusion is that the one at Marine parade, whats it called? Marina Square? Thats the best one. Now I know you are all saying, hello same store, where got different? I'm telling you, they are different! Just liek Mcdonalds is different even though they reckon it is the same. Also Coke tastes different the world over, as does the exact same brands of beer.
So this weekend what to do? Last weekend i has this thought "oh i think i want a motor cross bike" So off i went to look for bike shops, found em!! I went to that place opposite Queenstown shopping centre, i think thats what its called, you know, Alexandria. Anywayyyy, lots of bike shops. CAn Singapore have anymore gay bikes? Although i secretly think the scooters are reasonably cool and could be modded massively, i just dont think they could handle an offraod track!! Well thats kinda not true, I had a CT-110 postman bike once when i was a kid, that seemed to be ok on dirt, hahaha. So i have seen all these bike shops, i go inside all of them ask the boss "hey boss, got scrambler anot"?? "dun have". Next store, same question, this time with a little more attitude, same answer. Next store, before i open my mouth this what looked like a 17 year old guy approaches me "what you want" huh? i thought, what i want is to smack some politeness into you mate, but took deep breath and said "have scrambler anot" "nope dun have" but look at this nice GSXR. Hellooooooo i said, look like scrambler to you? So now i am hot and a little sweaty, people are actually looking at me probably thinking to themselves "wtf is this guy doing here" so i headed back to look for my car, which by the way i totally forgot where i parked it, hahah. Just got told there is some dude called "ah boy" who sells accessories and stuff, might try to find him this weekend.
So, thats it in a nutshell, what one ang mo does by himself on weekends, basically bugger all!!
Oh, next week i will tell you the story of whenj i realised Singapore has waterslides, my favourite thing, and how i ventured to the "Big Splash" parked car, towel around shoulders looking very pleased with myself, only to get there and discover HUH, no water!!!
Any weekend suggestions would be appreciated, maybe i should try that cable ski thing

Yah, Ah Boy is at Kelantan Lane... think you'll enjoy, um, trying to make conversation with him.

If you have time to waste on Saturday afternoon you could drop by Fort Road for a BMW photoshoot!

Re: What to do this weekend

there are shops selling scramblers in alexandra....just have to walk around the whole damn area...its freaking big...there should be some near the workshops (when u drive out of the place). anyway, its not too much of a scrambler bike place...can try the lavender street stretch (next to lavender food court) all the way to sim lim....saw a couple of scrambler shops there if i remembered correctly

my mom n dad threatened to disown me whether i registered myself for bike course at bbdc back then...but hell, i still went ahead, got myself a nolan helmet to go with it...hehe....but i gave up riding after my cousin died in an accident
u can be a careful rider but all it takes is just a not so careful driver to.....
so BMW drivers, even though some riders are pretty irritating, do try to give way to them. end of day, everybody gets home safely....end of story
