long time nvr do this le

[AsHaRiE]

its time to upgrade..sports or scrambler..ahhhhh i cant make up my mind

 

Try different makes lah bro..

 

Supermoto is quite an interesting fun bike to play around..

or

u can get an XR4 to go offroad...

or

if ure looking into touring... then get an s4.. cheap n reliable..

or

if u wanna chiong track.. theres loads of CBR4 on the market

 

go there

ask him for the particular item u want

then he quote u price

u tell him

HUH? but online bike forum, some1 post, sell only 200 ley

 

true lah.. this tactic works a few times,.. i once asked him about this mirror. then i say "Eh ahboy, just last week my fren bought this thing $20 lesser leh"... then i got the price.. he oways say.. chin chai lah...hahah

 

now that you asked

i answer you, even though, dun think u learn

but at least

u know in words

and u remember the pain

 

its part of learning

 

Agreed.. take it as a learning lesson and improve on it.. Its better to learn these things while in circuit rather than on public roads.. which might be costly n prone to more injuries..

[AsHaRiE]

having seen that more than 50% of ur life is spent studying

which then translates out in us working for some1 else

would you guys go into further studies?

eg: post grad dips/masters

 

CS, This is just my personal opinion...

 

1) Upon my job search, I realise that there are many individuals who accumulated an unbelievable amount of wealth, WITHOUT even getting a degree.. Some real life stories to share

 

a) A nurse who switches job to be an insurance agent now earns 10k amonth

b) An o-level holder property seller drives a BMW with her chauffer everyday

c) A diploma grad, at the age of 19, started MLM business n earns >10k monthly

 

the thing is, all these people that I know of, made their money by pursuing other forms of income generating activities and that made me realise, whether degree, masters or PHD.. it'll at most earn u a stable income monthly..

 

even the high post corporate fellas told me in the interview.. that its the work attitude, performance and KPIs that will determine your increment and how high u'll climb the corporate ladder ... compared to taking certs or MASTERs.. (i enquired on that actually)

 

Another real life example, two of my frens.. (one working in a Shipyard with an ITE cert.. another got a Degree in Logistics in MDIS).. Apparently, that ITE guy earns more than the degree fella and he gets like 6 months bonus.. The ITE guy said, passively "aiyoh study so much, pay still lower than me"

 

So unless, the opportunity cost which u incur for taking furthering studies is lower than the tangible benefit that you might earn afterwards, my advice is... Don't bother. Might as well, concentrate on other avenues for wealth..

 

unless ure in it for personal satisfaction and some social status that ure craving for..

C.s., Today I skid and fell during circuit revision at the ebrake there. But, I never learn anything!

I fell at the slippery Wet concrete there, the place where you zam brake. My right leg got injured and became damn bloody. Had to walk to the reporting area there where everyone kept looking at my bloody foot. The instructor helped me dressed my wounds and he told me can claim insurance up till 1k, is that true? Anybody claim before can help me.

went to hospital for injection, urine sample, xray..

Sigh!

 

oh boy.. i wish u a speedy recovery..

which driving centre?

 

...its abt getting up stronger after each fall..

dont give up ya..

[Herculie]

anyway

u DUN ZAM BRAKE

1) u down gear, use engine brake,

2) use footbrake, step abit till bike slows down significantly

3) then u step harder on footbrake, and slowly pull in hand brake

4) when almost stop, then u clutch in towards the end

 

 

NVR EVER ZAM BRAKE

-__-"

 

oie.. thats not how u do ur Ebreak leh...

dunno how u do it outside la.. n i dun care also...

but in the centre and for TP, that is not the way mah..

[Herculie]

i think

Phyo might be able to give some insights about post grad studies

 

yet

somehow

 

i do not see phyo being actively replying

 

that is because i m busy....

doing my studies or some nonsense bike hunting or studying.. which will lead to ash saying no life...

 

basically.. i m still wondering y further study...

[cheeko]

I believe u all work for passion & wana contribute in ur work to add value to people's life & the world a better place. Am I rite

what's the step?

 

ZAM BRAKE?

[C.S]

ash : good insights, u can be Asharis Adam Khoo

 

but

how many of such cases are there?

 

anyway

from ur post, it made me realise 1 blind spot of myself -- this education system makes me think that paper is important

 

 

BUT

 

in fact

if i could just share my own reasons

 

i just want to prove to the people in my field of work

 

that...

u dun need to look like a counsellor / social worker, to do the work

u dun need to talk like a counsellor / social worker, to do the work

 

all u need, is to execute effective ways of doing the things that a counsellor / social worker do

[C.S]

[Herculie]

yeah.. i got a rude reality slap when I started my job search n realise, that although a degree is good.. but its not everything..

 

im clouded by this vision that pursuing a degree will indeed "guarantee" me a position above the rest.. but not relly so..

 

But its ok.. A quote from Han in Tokyo Drift.. "Life is simple. You make choices. You don't look back"

 

cheeko poon

shaddup la

 

I swear I was laughing so hard when I read this..

 

yea im swinging between CBR4 (sports) and Transalps 400 (touring) and perhaps ktm4 or drz..if i can save enough lol

 

KTM4 imho is abit ex.. with that same money, i'd rather get a class 2 n achieve more.. i.e. track n touring..

 

sports.. supermoto not fun.. dun get.. lol..

 

i detect personal agenda.. hahahaha

[AsHaRiE]

This is one of the site i was refering to..

[shong]

the glove and boots shud look like this.

 

somehow Chinese ppl seldom make imitated full suit..must be lack of demand

[w4hkauz]

can get rjays suit from regina at 300 i tink..rjays boots going for 150

[shong]

regarding track suit, u wan it in real leather, the price wont be cheaper than 500 for one piece suit, not cheaper than 300 for 2 piece. good stuff comes only after 1k range haha. yea i know ppl back in china tailor make leather track suit. but the cost is $$$$$

[shong]

Ash:

so maybe u would stick with local dealer or SRS. if still got good lobang i will let u know
