Over-night dont know whether can make it or not siah. Coz this period, my family normally have christmas celebrations. Not that I am christian but need to give gifts to children lah..

 

If its overnight. I would be better for 30 Dec 05 to 01 Jan 06 period.

Not overnite, An evening event only. I guess before christmas is not a good choice as most people will be celebrating. Mayb on 30th is a better choice

Not really celebrating just that normally we gather at aunt place's garden for BBQ give presents to the young ones lah.

 

My goverment going India on 24th morning (5am+) and will only be back on 26th so I think she may insist that I spend 23 Dec with her lah. Chances for me not very high lah.

I bought Komine -> Japanese brand. they make suits, shoes for racing. I think a lot of folks go to LAB for Alphinestars. Its a nice glove also but I think quite ex. Oh yes. If you are getting your rain-coat, if you can, try to get those with a mesh netting inside. Reason is that with the mesh netting, it is usually cooler to wear and when you get drenched in the rain the surface won't stick to you skin.

Yup, got a set of pro-grip raincoat for $28 then a set of gloves for $16.

 

For the gloves, i saw some really nice design. think the brand is Fox. all around 40+ But then still not sure if i am going to wear the gloves cos i am afriad i am not get use to it. So in the end jus bought a pair of cheap cheap 1 with good padding, and a "fox" brand lookalike logo on it.
