After several months not blogging on topics that relates to my daily life, i couldn’t be more disbelieved that i am blogging about this. Just the set your mind straight, from the political standpoint, i’m not siding with or against any parties.

It was yesterday that i wanted to take a ride around Putrajaya with my suspensions-less bicycle. Unlike any other regular days, i woke up earlier than usual hoping that it would be a bright day which later turned otherwise. Admittedly, without knowing what to expect, i pump a lot of air into both front and rear tires till they were as solid as a metal. Well, when it’s 7.30 in the morning and you’re half-awake, it’s easy to do something that later would later prooved to be a pain in the butt, literally.

In less than 5 minutes i was up and running on my usual course, and when i said ‘usual’ i meant a course that i haven’t been through for the last 2 weeks. I wanted to switch from the main road to the pedestrian or side road. Listening to It’s My Life by Bon Jovi and singing it wildly out loud clearly didn’t help me to focus on the road. Then i made the transition on the only opening on the road, and BANG ! I bummed into one of the pain-in-the-eye ‘vote for me’ ads and its pretty clear that i’m going to obey the law of gravity and starts my cursing galore.

I did a poor job in taming the bike and hit another small bum and just to give you an idea of how hard it was, let’s just say that, suspensions-less bike with tyres as hard as solid rock doesn’t really say good balance. Tried my best to stay on track but yet again, if its meant to be, its meant to be. My front tyre got tangled with not just one, but a lot of the tiny little strings that is attached with thousands of unfamiliar faces of the ‘vote for me’ guy. To put it simply, i fell (i think the better word is ‘thrown’) off the bike. Describing how embarrassingly i fell off doesn’t really make me feel so good, So lets just say it wasn’t exactly Spa-treatment to the body.

I guess i should feel lucky that even though i am considered too young to participate in the General Election, it left me with some scars and bruises. By the way, why the hell would they put a lot of Campaign Ads that block the roads ? Damn you sons of *******
