Advanced Bday present






I'm never a person who'd like to lavish those dear to me with birthday gifts & cards. Come to think of it, I must have gotten this trait from my dad. Seriously, it's not something that I'm proud of. Since I got married to my hubby, I can count the number of times i've purchased a suprise card/gift for him. There was even this one time (last year), where i've forgotten to wish him during our anniversary. Ouch! That really suck!No, I suck BIG TIME.




With that, for this year, I made a promise to actually spend my money to buy something superior for my hubby. All these while,I've made promises to buy a PSP, a mini piano etc but decided to change my mind the very last minute when i discovered that the price of it errrr...kindda expensive.




Well, dear. Not this year though. I've excercised my ESOS money and since I'm a little excited over the thought of entering a triathlon and a dualthon this year, I've draged my hubby to cycle along with me. (I bought a hybrid bicycle recently which cost me around RM 1, 050.00 but it's worth the penny since it's fast, its light and it rocks!)
Problem is, he doesn't have a bike on his own. So, to cut the story short, I decided to present him with a road bike as an advanced birthday present. Since he was ok with that, the search for his bike went on. My budget is limited to RM 1,500.00. Our first destination was to bikepro, a high end bicycle shop which have variety of choices to choose from. But none of the bicycle there fits my budget. With that, we went to Tat Seng, the place where I bought my bicycle. The shop was about to close when we reach there at around 7.40 pm but the owner (kelvin) was kind enough to entertain us with our bombarding 101 for DUMMIES questions on bicycles. Hubby was so energized when he saw the bike and after given much thought about it, we finally met the perfect bike for him. So, here's the new buddy that I have for my dearest hubby:




For a road bike that fits the bill as an entry level bike, I swear that the bike is a value added item. Of course, It's a bit heavier as compared to my bike but it's ok since the size is bigger than my Scott USA and the tyres are thicker.

Somehow, I have no regrets buying him this as a birthday present coz i could see his face beaming with joy when he looks at it. By the way yang, jangan buat display sudah beskal tu...ari sabtu nie kena gak bawak gi ke putrajaya for a try out.
