NUS Riders Mini AGM 2009

The club was invited for a mini informal AGM for the academic year 2009/2010. As such, the agenda for the AGM includes introducing the club to the new riders, club committee members and more importantly activities planned for the year. This year's event was held in SDE lecture room. About 10 people came for the small meeting cum dinner outing afterwards.

More about the club was explained to the new riders, coupled with the rides planned for the year and holidays. We were glad to have Hongwei, ex-president to share with us the info on personal accident insurance. In the light of all the recent mishaps, I personally think that its critical that we have additional insurance to cover our medical expense should anything happen. Like what Hongwei said, its buying a peace of mind for our loved ones. Never say never..

Anyway, we headed to Charcos, Ang mo kio for a hearty Portugese dinner. Had lots of laughter around the table after so awhile not meeting up. We then headed out to Lower Pierce Reservoir to chill and continue catching up the old good times until it was time for us to head back. It was quite a fun time, riding, eating and chilling with the riders, yet again. Until the next outing, Ride Safe everybody!

NUS Riders Go Kart w/ NTU Riders

A go-kart outing at permas jaya, plentong was organized by the NTU riders. Meetup location was at Esso Woodlands Ave 1 at 10am, and a total of about 8-10 riders came for the ride. After liasing with the NTU riders at the petrol station, we made our way to the destination via Woodlands Checkpoint. The jam was about to start when we arrived, and luckily, it was not too long.

Upon topping up, we made our convoy to the gokart location. The road there was indeed filled with gravel and loose sand, coupled with many construction debri by the site. Pretty much a biker's nightmare. Unfortunately, Kaisheng from NTU, skidded at one of the junctions and we have to regroup again at another location. Luckily he got minor injuries and a broken mirror. Determined, we still carried on with the trip as planned.

Upon reaching there, we were greeted by 3,5km of offroad, with each of us going slower than normal, but its not as bad as I thought it would be. We then played for 1 round of 10 minutes and got an entire body massage from the vibrations of the go-kart. It was quite an adrenaline rush for the guys, whizzing through the circuit, trying to push for speed around the corners. It was indeed a new experience for most of the guys, having their sessions in a circuit.

Upon finishing the 10 minutes, the group was in a state of elation, each with their own stories to tell. After cooling from euphoria, we took a group shot and headed to the nearest bike wash at JB city centre. We then ended the day with happy memories, although enduring the hot sun, coupled with the fasting month. Indeed, there will be another Go-kart trip to be planned soon!

NUS Riders Bowling Night

In the month of Ramadhan, the nusriders shared the breakfast session at West Coast Plaza, BBQ Chicken. Invitation was extended to the NTU Riders as well. A total of about 15-20 riders came for the dinner and bowling outing afterwards. The food was not bad with them having the Student discount (1 selected dish plus 1 drink at $7+ Nett). Main plus point was that the place was halal and "healthy" due to its cooking with olive oil.

After a hearty meal, the group headed out to the West Coast Bowl. Suprisingly, the bowling alley was fulled, with a group of Foreigners occupying like 5-6lanes, having a party at that. So, we have to wait a while before, having our turns to play. Occupying 2 lanes, the riders took turns to strut their bowling skills and having mini competition with each other. Atmosphere was filled with laughters and everybody was having a good time. The outing ends till 11 plus with each other looking forward for the weekends.

Thanks to everyone that came!

NUS Riders Orientation Ride 2009

The day started out with much anticipation from both new and senior riders alike. As always, this annual event is organized for riders, to introduce them to the club, and orientate riders to carparks around the campus, so as to convienient park nearer to their destination. We were extremely excited to see the encouraging turnout about 20+ bikes, both from new riders and senior ones, and even in between. In addition, Saeed (NTU Riders President) was also there to join us for the ride.

After proper briefing, we went off around campus in an orderly staggered manner. THe sight of organized bikes, roaring around the campus was tingling the senses, and curious onlookers awed at the formation. Carpark, after carpark, we finally cleared the campus major lots and proceed to have dinner at Villa Bali. A little technical problem encountered with overheating S4. Nothing major though.

We then, moved to Kent Ridge Park, where we gather and play some ice breaker games, finding the 3 clues which leads to our "sacred message", little bike quizes and a self-intro of bikers to the club. It was indeed tickling to see riders, scurrying around the park, trying to find the 3 clues, shouting at each other to communicate. Finally, team Honda, won the game, and deciphered the message, which was our club slogan. "3 Classes, 2 Wheels, 1 Passion". Quizes was fun, with the motive to share biking knowledge with the riders, both senior and freshies. Lastly, as conducted last year, we introduced everybody to the club and share our stories with each other.

We officially end the Orientation Ride in Kent Ridge Park. But being riders, one can never get enough of riding so we broke off the night into smaller groups, with some going to Johore for supper and several going for Tau Huay. Those who called it a day, went off with happy smiles as we wave the bikes off safely home.

As club president, I do feel the air of satisfaction as we end the event off. I hope that everybody have enjoyed their time as much I do, in hoping to organizing more future activities for the riders! Until then, see you guys in school and ride safe!
