Welcome To The World Of A Cycling Dad

From Gaming to Paintball to RC Driting to Golfing and finally to Cycling! Never did I thought that I would one day be hooked onto Cycling but here I am and there is no turining back! The roads maybe long, the climbs maybe steep and the downhills maybe deep... but as my RFC captain always says,

"As Long As The Mind Is Willing, The Body Will Follow!"

Apple Goes Down Under

Apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, species Malus domestica in the rose family (Rosaceae) and is a perennial. It is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits, and the most widely known of the many members of genus Malus that are used by humans.


Now let me tell you about another Apple that I know of, Apple Choong. This Apple is one tough apple! She scaled Genting Highlands, Fraser's Hill, Ulu Yam-Genting Sempah, The full length of Hulu Langgat aka Mordor and cycled down to Singapore TWICE!! And more often than not, cycled ahead of me. She is our Team RFC's beloved Apple and she is going away.. far far away.. down under far away to be exact..

Apple's farewell party was today. It was to be held at the Top Hat Restaurant@Jalan Stonor. The organizing committee for this party were her colleagues from OCBC Marketing. Team RFC were invited among her other close friends and ex-collagues. We were supposed to be there at 6:30pm. Since it was a Friday, it would not be such a rush. Unfortunately I had to solve some problems with the Collections Department and by the time we were finished it was 6pm already. I followed GKL's car there and thank God, Apple had not arrived yet.



There was a mission tonight. 1. was to surprise apple (duh!) 2. to get her to cry 3. to get her to confess her feelings. Finally she arrived at around 7 something. The lights were dimmed and as she walked into the room, everyone shouted SURPRISED!! And guess what she said... "I already know de.." LOL!!


The night was crazy!! As everyone was made to go up and talk about Apple.. what we know about her and stuff.. and as Peggy put it "NO HOLDS BAR!!" "NO CENSORSHIP!!" Everything must come out!! And so it did... as GKL went up he said this.. "I have reliable sources that one side... likes" "I also have reliable sources from the other side, that the other side also.. likes" "With all this indirectness... lets all be direct tonight!!".. with that.. coconut (name shall not be disclosed for private reasons) was put on the spot light and asked the simple question.. "DO YOU LIKE?" As everyone held their breaths awaiting the answer... then came a "YES!!" The whole room errupted!! Apple turned bright red!! coconut went straight to the buffet line and started stuffing himself with desserts LOL... now the spotlight was on Apple!! Cameras, video cameras, phone cameras, were all pointed at her... waiting her answer... which never really came but it was definately not a NO!! So it is a Maybe or a YES.. either way, it was good news.


Now the entire night went out quite crazily with Peggy acting as the "Tai Kam Che" and toasting to the "BRIDE and GROOM" and other stuff... then it was the photo sessions. Finally at 10pm, Captain Danny reached - all the way from Singapore!! We had a little chat and a few more drinks then it was time to retire for the night... Tomorrow, Team RFC will be heading to Ipoh for the IPOH CENTURY RIDE 2010.


APPLE.. WHERE EVER YOU MAY GO.. JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE FRIENDS BACK HERE WHO LOVE YOU! AND DON'T GET LAZY IN OZ.. HAVE TO CONTINUE CYCLING!
