Some pics to share. It’s really a wonderful ride especially to Cameron with the long winding road up and down and of course the cool weather. This trip is going to be a very memorable one as we rode in the rain, a heavy rain I mean plus being splashed with muddy water by other motorist and we were forced to stop by the roadside stalls selling fruits, mainly …. Watermelon! More interesting is we were caught in a serious traffic jam due to flooding at one of the road junction. Instead of waiting for the water to subside, all of us decided to ride thru it. Boom…. Boom…. And all of us get thru it! Awesome!
Let your emotions inspire you, not ruin you. This was one of the first thoughts that came to my mind as I was listening to Illusion telling us the road to his successful career and life. Having said that, I looked behind me and saw hundreds audiences mesmerised with his speech.
Stupid Trader, Play Safe was launched @ Pan Pacific Hotel yesterday and The LiFestyle Xtravaganza event had sports cars lined up the main entrances of the hotel together with our famous glories. President, Secretary and myself were there to show our support even though weather was against us. Joe Augustine was there as the master of ceremony and there was also professional ballroom dancers whom I wish were hotter :)
Be it Forex traders or bikers, we have learned that you can't just keeping doing the same exact thing, but that new ideas and exciting methods are what gets the ball rolling again. The club has found itself to a higher level with media attention from such event rides. Together we grow and we will grow old together.
Illusion has said this many times on Saturday and I will try to mimick him. "Illusion where are you? Could you please stand up. Ladies and Gentlemen, could we please give a round of applause for Mr Illusion for his contribution to SCMC"
Quote from the blurb on the back cover...
"Stupid Trader, Play Safe! does not mince words when it comes to being disciplined about emotional management. Straight-talking tells it as he sees it - in FOREX trading, the real barrier between a trader and the wealth he deserves is himself. While systems and money management habits can be learned, the long term challenge for any trader - be it a new or a seasoned trader - is emotional management. Stupid Trader, Play Safe! challenges readers to change their mindset about FOREX. Only then can FOREX traders maximise their potentional to profit from FOREX, the largest financial market in the world."
Dear all My post since that fateful day at Sepang. However without lesson without experience.
It was a long drawn out ambition to go on the track after so many years of touring and always having the innate fear of not being 100% in control of the bike. I would say the level of confidence in handling the bike is two fold!!
However this does not mean that the ability is up two fold!!??! But I must say that in my three days of experience in Sepang,....
A. What a blast!! The smell, the taste of speed, and the absolute experience of a world class location is simply unbelievable.
B. The sudden knowledge that you have NO knowledge is truly humbling. There are so many seasoned riders with so much experience and technical knowledge to learn from.
C. Thinking you are slower simply because you are riding at a slower speed simply masks the fact that your technique is wrong!! Bike setup is not optimized and the fact that a well setup bike will just leave you standing...:((
D. The nightmare of falling especially a HIGHSIDE simply was always there but actually experiencing it was also another thrilling experience. Thank God nothing was broken:))). A duck broken means next time hopefully no more.
To cap it off, thought of coming home with clean knee sliders instead came back with more than one thing scratched. :))) check out the pics.
Have you ever thought, "I wish I had more time to ride"? Have you ever settled for a "long" ride instead of one that was memorable? If so, you ain't no SCMC!
Great turnout today as promised by our brothers. We met up at 7ish, sorry for the wait. Headed to Burrosah Street near Arab Street for dinner. We had Naan, Mutton & Chicken Masala, and "Don't Mess With The Zohan" special hummus!
The ride went on around Singapore and it was long ago since I had so much fun with the brother(s).
As usual the jokes never end till we started to discuss about 7th May GE. I am never a follower of politics but was shock when my iexplore homepage show me this. Why would I mind if house prices drop? Steady bom bi bi man.
Kudos to Illusion for his first RB duty! He was a little stress about leading the pack and learnt to appreciate the hardship organisers go through each week.
Next week is Sunday Overseas Ride, please contact Flash for more details. Wooooohooo
Petaling Jaya (The Star/ANN) - A video footage of a snatch theft that happened at shocking speed in Section 16 here has gone viral on social networking websites after it was uploaded on YouTube last week.
The 23-second video clip shows two men on a motorcycle approaching the passenger side of a car which is in a queue at a traffic light junction.
The pillion rider is seen smashing the side window before grabbing a bag and speeding off within seconds.
The clip was apparently shot from another vehicle trailing a few cars behind the victim's car.
More than 89,000 people had viewed the clip on YouTube as of April 9.
Watch what happened here.
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid, who confirmed that the victim in the footage had lodged a report, said criminals often targeted vehicles without passengers and when valuable items were placed in the front or back passenger seat.
Police said nobody had come forward to help in investigations.
Abby Lu, 30, a victim of a similar incident at almost the same location, said she lost her smartphone, iPad and a wallet when her bag was snatched three weeks ago.
It happened so fast that I did not have time to react," she said, adding that the broken glass caused scratches on her body.
However, Kuala Lumpur chief police officer Deputy Comm Datuk Zulkifli Abdullah said such cases were on the decline.
Women groups urged victims to lodge police reports to help identify hotspots for such crimes.

The eveining started as a TCSS (Tok Kok Sing Song) session at Simpang Bedok and we shared a hearty meal of local grub. Grimreaper came with a whitebeauty, which really stood out amongst the other HDs. Goodfood, GreatCompany!
And the night really started after 11pm as we mounted our Harleys and took to the streets. The route was familiar yet so refreshing cos for me its been awhile since rolled down to Kent Ridge, Kranji Dam, then Seletar Reservior in Yishun to visit our favourite Ice Cream biker! Thanks Lee for the desserts :) a bunch of us then went over to get our bikes washed and before you know it, its past 3am..Awesome!
As my phone went flat and while there were no snapshots, i wanna pen down that brother Illusion was on FIRE yesterday!! he made us laugh like monkeys (especially Se7en) and it was such fun!! And thats exactly what this is all about... Riding & Having FUN! Cheers brothers!
What a beautiful Sunday morning. 8am the sun was up and we gathered @ GP Esso. I couldn't remember when was the last time I did something for the first time but Illusion had a few that day.
First time - Vest on First time - Riding Malaysia First time - Arm aching
Ride was easy and we travelled @ 120-130km/h. Took us less than an hour to Yong Peng.
$88rm spent on food to feed 8, gr8 to be in Malaysia! 8888.
8am to 12pm, another 250km of memories.
Congrats to Coober, first to cross 2,000 KM for year 2011.
7am, the boys arrived @ Serangoon Gardens to pick the Groom up. Speedy and Se7en were there before the bikers with the pimp-up ride (face lift with care bear)
The convoy went well with fast moving traffic and we arrived Tepan on time. There it was the beginning of the daylight robbery.
This is the 3rd time I attended SCMC wedding ride (Grim Reaper, DJ, Speedy) and each time the door sisters are older, noiser, weaker in games. Sure they like the part when I touched them....erhhhh. One thing different this time, Groom finished his ang bao $ (robbed)
I don't understand with this leg waxing practice, could be some Chinese tradition. Come on, we are Harley enthusiast and hardcore bikers. Give us knife or fire lah. Spot the MJ!
Everyone was laughing away and kids were having fun. Se7en managed to amuse the ladies by ripping the most hair from his legs.
Where is the SuffeRing?
It's in the family, all very GL.
After much sweet talks and white lies, Bride couldn't resist anymore. Speedy quickly size the opportunity and said "Kiss me baby one more time!"
The pro and con of Elevator vs Stairs
Now its evident who the Road Boss will be. Thanks to Sony for an excellent compact camera.
