The Knights in White Denim Tour -AKA The White Trash Tour…
-
Went cycling on Saturday with the same group of friends again. This time we decided to cycle around the city area,
and I decided to take a couple of shots to show you guys the most beautiful part of Singapore.However, my photos don’t really do justice to the real place.
Recently, got a saddle bag from Topeak to put my phone, some cash and stuff. Really love the size and how the
colours match my bike.
Lunch before we move off.
My girl’s noodle with lots of chili.
Our starting point. East Coast Park
We cycled along a Park connector along Kallang River.
That building with a weird pointed top is the Singapore Indoor Stadium where most major concerts take place.
I’ve been in there a few times, and I can safely say that the interior is pretty good with superb sound system.
Behind the Indoor Stadium is the new Singapore’s National Stadium which is still in the making. The old stadium
was demolished in 2011 to make way for the new one. I’m glad that I’m one of the lucky ones who had performed
in the old national stadium.I’m looking forward to the opening of this stadium in 2014, and i heard that the new structure would have a
retractable roof. How cool is that?!!
Some boaters along the way. That bridge is actually the East Coast Parkway (ECP) expressway on the top.
Finally, we could see the Gardens by the Bay (the 2 weird rock looking thingy) which features 2 indoor air
conditioned conversatories. The weirdly shaped trees are actually “Supertrees” which are said to be able to
harness solar energy to power parts of the Garden. You could also see the Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore
Flyer, and some skyscrapers in the Central Business District (CBD).
Really love the scenery.
Marina Bay Sands in another angle.We, then, cycled another 8km or so to the Singapore Botanic Gardens to have a good dinner before moving
off again. We happened to chance upon this really nice and cool (air-conditioned) restaurant to take a break.
Great to find a place that serves “All-Day-Breakfast” which is increasingly popular in Singapore.
My girl’s sunny side up with some hash browns and garlic mushroom.We headed back to East Coast Park after an hour of rest and managed to clock a total of 35km. Pretty surprised
that I didn’t feel really tired even though the sun was really burning the whole day. Other than a little of burn
on my arm, I’m ready to go for another 10-20km! Enjoyed the slow ride with my friends on a perfect Saturday afternoon.

I apologise for the lack of posts for the past week.
On Tuesday, I received a good news from Johnny via text that the IHSI-02 I ordered from him has arrived. I immediately decided to make a trip down straight after work.
On my way to TSS.
Spotted James’ Bike.
BAM!
Had to take some photos!
An absolute beauty. Thanks to Haraki and Giles for adding the extra rings.
Love the shine!
IHSI-02, IH634S-WH, IH-OWR
James had to give it a try!
Another photo on my wrist together with the OGL bracelet.
One last photo while driving.A big thanks to Johnny, Giles and Haraki for making me this happen!

Mean as pic's Ron and that piece of IH hardware is a beauty.

Past week had been a boring (and busy) week for me, and was packed mainly with work.
Finally found some time to chill out in a coffee house near my place this week with a friend.
Love the window grills, interior and the kind of biscuits they served. These are the things that I grew up with.
I had Vanilla Latte while my friend had Hazelnut Latte. I must say the coffee was pretty good.It was time for the next leg of the tour, gave it a wash, and decided that the leather tag needs a little conditioning.
Getting really dry.
The 2nd layer of Obernauf's.
Also, love the look on the rope.
Not sure if this is best decision, but I decided to put a dollar coin in the coin pocket to have this little part of
Singapore in the pair of jeans. OH AND I JUST REALISED I FORGOT TO SIGN AT THE JEAN POCKET.There is also a little story that the design of the Singapore's coin is blessed with the few major religions in Singapore.
Not 100% sure what is the whole thing about this, but I heard stories here and there regarding this. Guess my
government here is kind of superstitious afterall, haha.
16 year old coin
Packed and ready to go.I just sent them Down Guy Under yesterday. They should arrive in New Zealand next week, if not the week after.
Hope he gets the jeans as soon as possible. I enjoyed the jean for the April/Month, and I must say they are really
comfortable with a perfect fit. And the look is a lot better than what I expected. My friends and girl were all
pretty surprised how good white jeans can look.I enjoyed this part of the tour, and love sharing my life with the rest of the guys here. I hope you guys enjoyed
my posts too. I know it could have been better!!!!

Nice updates Ronald. You know a lot of good places to eat… don't be surprised if I look you up to show me around when I'm in Singapore!!
-
Much appreciated.

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay in updates. I got the Whites from Ron, much thanks to you for sending them to me. Ive been sick and some niggling injuries so they have been sitting in my room under a pile of clothes that I have just put away.
Ive just tried from on and after trying hard to button them up they are sweet as (as long as I dont breathe much)
Yep been eating a bit too much lately and its not the kind of right foods.
A few pic's to get started, we are at the start of winter so will endeavor to get some pic's of where I live
in New Zealand.A place called Tauranga which is known for its miles of coastline, great beaches, sunny
weather in Summer, its started to get cold here but last week we had the odd 16 degrees C,
18 degrees C.
Will keep you guys posted…
Cheers

I may want to hop on at the end would that be ok if I decide to?

Shouldn't be an issue. Not sure who is left but we'll figure it out towards the end of Down Under Guy's run.
Would be nice to get them after you so I can photograph them.

Nate, if you get them and they don't fit, I'll take your spot.
Hell, I'll even drive out to your place and pick them up.
