Saking pinginnya bersepeda long trip (>100 km) tapi nggak kesampaian hingga saat ini, jadi saya cuma bisa membayangkan punya perlengkapan touring di sepeda saya.
Ketika di Jogja dulu ada seorang petualang bersepeda dari German bernama Andreas, saya dan teman-teman berkenalan dengan dia dan sempat bersepeda bareng kemudian yang menarik perhatian saya adalah perlengkapan touring yang melekat di sepedanya (selain internal gear hub yg harganya puluhan juta ). Tas touring merek Ortlieb buatan German menempel di handlebar dengan ukuran besar. Atas dasar itu saya mencoba mengunjungi situs resminya yaa walaupun saya tahu harganya cukup murah (bagi Andreas ). Disana ada menu bike configurator gunanya untuk merancang penempatan tas pada sepeda yang telah anda pilih pada “Choose bike”. Tentu saja tas yang dipasang bermerek Ortlieb dan sudah ditentukan letak yang ideal misal rack (boncengan), handlebar, saddle dan fork tapi kita bisa menentukan tiap bagian  apakah akan dipasang tas atau tidak. Selain itu anda juga bisa mengatur warna sepeda yang telah dipilih. Jenis sepedanya pun beragam mulai Trekking, travel, folding, recumbent, children dan road bike.

Berikut sepeda touring rancangan saya:

Folding Bike Birdy, siap diajak lintas kota Trekking Bike idworkx, penjelajah Nusantara Tabel Capacity satuannya adalah liter sedangkan Weight satuannya gram. Kata merancang disini hanya sebatas merancang penempatan tas saja bukan membangun atau merakit sepeda. Silakan anda buat rancangan anda sendiri pada link sumber dibawah.

By the way, I had been telling him to do this for years but he would just respond “No.” Either that or he would throw an ax at me.

This is Volume 2. Contents of this volume, Memoirs of Tsutomu Senkawa, Treatment birdies, And I see the answer to the Japanese government that pleasures to counter the UNKNOWN.
This time, a new fighting force (The Force) to appear. These guys also, and the Human Bullet race so far. By the way, I remember the Patlabor. With the advent of the SDF and police. The force is to experiment. To prepare for future battle with the UNKNOWN, and accumulating experience in the first Beast. When viewed from the perspective of readers, the difference between the forces of the UNKNOWN is clear. The force appears to be enjoying. However, I think weakness. UNKNOWN is absent only one birdy. Interact with different civilizations will be a war. I wish I could but I solved through dialogue.

鉄腕バーディー EVOLUTION
This is Volume 1. But, Birdy the Mighty (20) is continued from. The story has been three years since. Meanwhile, Birdy was asleep and freeze consciousness. ,,,Sorry, this volume is not told what. Please see Volume 2.
Now, the contents of this volume, there are three separate large.
(a) Aguni Group working women. She would know that beast experiments. And scramble that how to publicize it?. Aguni Group and has acquired Hikawa Chemistry (Pharmaceutical companies made the Beast) . This is the story of Birdy (and Tsutomu Senkawa).
(b) Aguni Group is how to prevent it and hiding. This is the story of who created the Beast.
(c) Government of Japan (the main by the SDF so far) is to measure for “UNKOWN” ( Birdy ). And relations with the Japanese government and Aguni Group. It is told in this volume is not much. And I think that in the future, become the most important.
I can not very well together. I have divided into three large one. And continue story, while these are intertwined. Each is together. And is configured Birdy The Mighty is an interesting story (which I welcome).
Birdy The Mighty genre is science fiction. During the screen, the emergence of Over Technology. But, I feel. The feeling is not science fiction. Why would I think. It’s probably the only thing fighting against Human Bullet. Things on the stage in Tokyo. These will cause. Especially her Human Bullet. Enemy is a piece of over technology. But, it is not from outer space to attack. I do not see that the depiction of the War of the Worlds. From these points, I think I feel. And much like science fiction. I feel strange.
Progress of the story will feel Aguni Group movement. Christella Revi is the owner. And, I think that become the enemy of birdy. Their objective is to found, is likely to heat up at once. ,, Is very likely to need time.

When our friend Kurt came over for a chat and a cup of tea this afternoon, Kurt’s African Grey parrot, Zane, came along for the ride. Tooey was fascinated.

Tooey focused on Zane

She briefly considered jumping up, but we managed to change her mind. We didn’t want Tooey to lose her cute little nose to the parrot’s beak. Kurt assured us that he and Zane had dealt with fascinated dogs before. The worst case was Kurt’s having to remove Zane from the jaws of a Chow.

Tooey’s plenty “birdy,” especially when they’re express-delivered right to the house like this. Probably a good thing that Zane didn’t choose to squeak or imitate squirrel chatter.

Olen viime kuukausina ylipuhunut ukkoani, että mitäpä jos kohdistaisimme ankaraa säästämistä tähän haaveeseen:

Tykkäisin, että meillä olisi Bromptonit.

Olen hirmuisen ihastunut Moultoneihinkin,

ja mielelläni perin ukon nykyisen, jos hän innostuu rakentamaan itselleen uuden. Mutta nyt ensialkuun Bromi olisi ihana! Minusta kaikki brittiläinen pyöräilyperinne on hienoa, Moultonissa on vähän semmoista aatelisempaa (ja toisaalta insinöörimäisempää) tatsia. Bromptonit ovat sitten muuten vain hassupäisten ihmisten pyöriä …

Kun alunperin testasimme taittopyöriä, ihastuin eniten Birdyyn. Se oli tyylikäs ja käytettävyydeltään huippua – mutta törkeän kallis. Testasin myös Bromptonia ja totesin sen “hyväksi paikallispyöräksi”. Vaikka olenkin kuullut ihmisistä, jotka ovat Bromilla ajaneet Australian halki, en itse usko että se on hyvä pyörä siihen tarkoitukseen. Mutta ai miten mukava sillä olisi fillaroida Münchenissa, Japanissa, Vietnamissa jne.

Täydellinen lintukuva!

Hallo Freunde,
wir haben heute einen deutschen Microblog gegründet und möchten euch einladen teilzunehmen.
Wir haben eine direkte Anbindung zu Twitter.

Omgs..the thought of her leaving has just begun to sink in. I honestly thought it’d be okay until…now. Suddenly, not knowing is so much better than knowing. If I’m not mistaken, she should have landed in Australia a few hours back. She is now in Melbourne, working for 3 months for her cousin’s uncle. Perhaps this is a good, no, a great opportunity for her but she will be dearly missed by people who’s back home, here,  in Malaysia. Grr…I hate the slow realization.

In case you don’t know who I’m talking about, I am talking about a friend of mine who has been real close to be for the past year. Though, we have not met back in the early semester, but we sure did in the second semester. We got really close ever since then, and ’till now. She had been a great person and also very much bubbly too. She’s a very nice person to be around and she is..

Tan Phui Mun (also known as Birdy).

In the month of July, she was offered a job that will get give her a great pay ranging from 1.2k-1.5k. That’s awesome right? But wait a minute, there is a downside to it. Downside to it is that she has to be in AUSTRALIA for it (Melbourne to be exact). She was indeed having a hard time deciding, but she ended up taking the job offer anyways. I mean, it is a great opportunity. What more better way to explore the world than now eh? After she had decided, she told me about it. I, of course, am all for it. I mean, not many opportunities like these fly right by your door step and ask “do you want to take me?” it was sure a right decision.

Yes, it sure was, but the thought of her gone, has just sunk into my head. Omgosh..It’s real hard to deal with. Although, she and I never really see or talk to each other, but we just somehow connect and have that instant click whenever we do talk or see one another. Garh…I miss her already. Lately, I have been talking to her alot, and that kind of made it harder to deal with her being there…you know?..haih..Ah well..She will be back soon. Might as well make her happy all the way huh?

Anyways, this post is just for you birdy and also know that I will always be with you. I will be there for you everyday as I’ve promised you earlier. Be strong there, my dear, and I’m sure you’ll make it. Take care my friend. So long. Until then, we shall…

CONTINUE CHATTING ONLINE!

Will see you soon kays? ’till then, cheerio.

p.s. feel free to drop me an IM even if I’m offline

The 2010 IKEA catalogue just landed on my desk, and it’s packed full of exciting new designs. This gorgeous new ‘BARBAR’ bird tray has got to be my favourite new accessory. It’s 33cm x 33cm, and I love the little coloured birds pattern. Hurrah for IKEA prices – it’s just £4.99, so even I can afford this one! – Ellie

The little "Clucker"

Yesterday, I was doing some work on my painting studio and found our old cuckoo clock which hadn’t “clucked” in years.  I brought it into the house and my husband instantly found a place for it in our living room.  However, once it was balanced, the pine cone shaped weights hung, and the time set, the clock literally started going cuckoo!  It had it’s own time;  not Arizona time!  It would “cuckoo” twelve times at 3:30, etc.  We kept trying to second guess how to get the hour and minute hands set so that it did it’s thing at the right time.  Last night, we forgot to “latch” the little “clucker’s” door so he would let us sleep.  So,  at about midnight (even though he jumped out and did his “cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo” meaning the little birdy’s time was 3am), I got up and shut him in for the night.   “Good night, sweet bird, sleep well.”

Today, we continue to embrace this little clock.  Now, I’m sitting here, listening to the wonderful lull that only a clock can bring, waiting for the next hour’s “cluck”.  It’s now 1:01pm and there was no “cuckoo”.  When will it be 1pm to this bird?  Hey… it’s 1:03pm my time and he just did his thing, came out and announced “cuckoo”.  One cuckoo! We’re almost  in sync!

What can I say- how cute is she? 

Here she is, chillin’ with her ride:

Too bad her hair always looks like that. When she gets out of the tub, it looks like this:

And this:

I can’t get it to stay that way. She plays to hard!

This is a series of pictures of a new game she invented- climb onto Mom/Dad’s shoulders:

Ta Da!  Don’t you wish you had a Birdy of your own?

Erstmal muss ich mich entschuldigen!
Fast eine ganze Woche hab ich nichts von mir hören lassen! Nur mein Spam im Twitter blieb euch erhalten
Ernsthaft: ich war bzw. bin krank und dementsprechen total unkreativ!

Aber während meines Aufenthaltes in der Welt der kranken, leidenden Männer ( ) war ich mal wieder viel auf diversen Blogs und auch auf Youtube unterwegs, und ich hab da was entdeckt:

Das Video mit Pulp Fiction Einfluss unbedingt reinhören

Ja nun zu Birdy Nam Nam wie kann man diese Jungs beschreiben: 4 Kerle, min 4 Plattenteller und coole Musik von Jazz, Ska, Rock, Klassik und House gemixt zu tollen neuen Variationen!

Noch einmal Live und zu guter Letzt auch mal ein eigener Song Birdy Nam Nams! Nicht das man denkt die Cover nur nein:

Zu den Alben:

“Birdy Nam Nam” War das erste Album und erinnert sehr an Chill Out Lounge! Sehr ruhig und ziemlich Jazzig!
Das aktuelle Album “Manual for successful rioting” ist einfach Pflicht! Gute Laune, rockig aber auch ruhig!

Man vergisst beim Hören aber ganz schnell wie die Musik nun eigentlich gemacht ist! An “Scratchen” oder ähnlich “VinylVergewaltigungen” denk man dabei eigentlich überhaupt nicht!

Beides eine Empfehlung!

Anhören! Gut finden! Kommentieren!

Bis die Tage!

Bad Memories Of The Deva Stadium Now Banished! (Photo By Craig Priest)

(This blog was written before Monday’s Kettering game)

6am Saturday morning. The alarm goes off - it’s football day. All my usual pre-match preparation runs like boring clockwork – until I get to the part where I pack my bag. My trusty little green book is now full, so has been replaced. Goodbye, old friend!

Arriving at the ground, the usual feelings are in the air, the normal chit chat is under way. During a random conversation with my brother and my cousin, I hear a little scream and look around: wasp invasion. The wasps seemed to love Bekii’s new green hoodie & green shoes, landing many times – without stinging - before flying and landing somewhere else.

 At times like these you need a hero – not me though, I cant stand the things. Step forward “Wasp Man” AKA Stacey’s uncle Nigel, who showed no fear and slapped the wasp full on – killing it dead. Most times the wasp sensed the movement of his hand and dodged out of the way – only to find a massive size 12 boot bearing down on it leaving it with no chance of survival! To laughter and scattered applause, Nigel brought the first real moment of the day. But have you ever heard the phrase ‘Kill a wasp and a swarm arrives?’. Well, about 30 seconds later it came true. But this was no trouble for Wasp Man, who displayed heroic qualities in disposing of at least five of the beggars. A hero has risen: “Super-Nige AKA Wasp Man” is born.

The bus soon arrived - the blasted double decker and a mini bus for overspill. Everyone found a seat and we were on our way to Chester, a match worth more than three points, as I explained in last weeks blog. The day had arrived, my headphones were in and it was next stop Chester, besides a little stop for a driver change. Everyone tried to come up with ‘dodgy names’ for our replacement driver, with me doing my posh accent: “Good morning ladies and gentleman, my name’s Cyril and I am your driver today. We will be travelling at a steady 10MPH during our trip, please put on your seat belt.” It got some laughter, but I was too interested in sending Facebook messages to continue!

The game was a case of ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ as Rob Duffy scored Mansfield’s only goal after 90 seconds, sending the fantastic support into raptures. Jake Speight made his first start, replacing Ryan Williams. Chester struck the post minutes after we scored, but I am not one for match reporting and I’ll let you make your own judgment on proceedings by reading the excellent stuff provided on Stagsnet, the official site and of course the Chad. The referee blew the whistle and the painful memories of relegation instantly halved (the other 50% needs to be exorcised at Field Mill). I said to myself while leaving the ground: “Mansfield Town are back – better than ever, and Chester City you can harm us no more!”

 The way home presented me with another moment of routine laugher, the infamous Birdy (Martin Bird) declared he would stop drinking before games, to become a better person. Now of course I don’t blame him, I just have to give it a mention because he said, and I quote, “Craig, if you write about it in your Blog, I will stop drinking because I’ll have the words to prove it.” Birdy claims this alone will stop him drinking. Time will tell. 

Home time, and as the SSA Coach pulled into Field Mill there were a few chuckles as we saw chairman Andy Perry on his phone, trying to get someone to unlock the car park gates so he could get home. Fear not Mr Perry, the SSA to the rescue!

Three more points, another good performance, I am so glad that there’s football again tomorrow (Monday)- a home game to Kettering. We can keep up the chase on Oxford, and of course that glorious top spot. 

All that’s left to say is thank you for reading. A big thanks goes to Bekii for the late night MSN creation of “Super-Nige!” If ever there’s a wasp near you at Field Mill, from out of nowhere “Super-Nige” will appear and dispose of the wasp – even though he is apparently scared of them!  

Until next time, Have a good week and don’t live in fear of wasps!

 “Mansfield Town FC; The home of green shoes, a local hero called Wasp Man and fantastic banter and football.”  

The world’s best dog had an evaluation last night from the trainers at the Winston-Salem Dog Training Club. She successfully walked on a loose leash, sat, laid down, stayed, and came to me…of course these are all very simple things for her. They said Birdy would probably pass the Canine Good Citizen class now, but that I wouldn’t because I don’t use the “proper” dog handling techniques. (Um…I don’t even have her on a leash 80% of the time because she is so obedient. I don’t need no stinking techniques.) So, due to my ineptness, Birdy has to start in the Beginner II class. I think it’s going to be fun! Eventually I want to get her involved in agility or flyball. She can already weave through flag poles and untangle her leash on her own. And she is very fast. If we do flyball, though, I’m going to have to teach her to stop destroying tennis balls. She thinks part of the game, after chasing them and fetching them, is to rip them into pieces.
