Shiny, happy brackets.

Problem: Inconsiderate, selfish boors who park indiscriminately, thereby damaging Pooters (move your mouse cursor over the pictures for comments).

Damaged IU bracket secured to the side mirror by a cable-tie.

Left-side mirror bent in; one of the perpetrators in the background.

Solution (or part thereof): Seng Kwang Metal Industrial Co.

Shiny chrome curves.

Check out the screws, man.

Had to get a custom made In-vehicle Unit (IU) bracket with a lifetime guarantee i.e. if it’s damaged, bring it back to the shop and they guys’ll do it up for free.

I paid $80; I’m not too sure if I got ripped off because I read some posts on the Singapore Bike Forum where the posters claim they paid $60 to $70 for their brackets. But those posts are 5 years old and I’m guessing the $10 increase is because of… inflation?

Anyway, if you’re a biker and you’re looking for custom-made brackets, call 6481 9580 and/or head down to:

    Seng Kwang Metal Industrial Co.
    Ang Mo Kio Autopoint
    10 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2A
    #05-31
    Singapore 568047

It’s a long and winding route to the top of the building, but just follow the signs and you’ll be fine.

Look for Gilbert (9785 9166) and/or William (9857 0033).

“Excuse me, are you… Siew Kum Hong?”

Had a dental appointment today. Marked some scripts while waiting for the dentist to see me.

While marking, random fella comes up to me and asks, “Are you Siew Kum Hong?”

Siew Kum Hong

Dude, I wanted to say. Do I look like friggin’ Siew Kum Hong to you?

Or is it – I dunno – ALL BALD MEN LOOK ALIKE TO YOU???

Extremely disgruntled. Will be starting a coalition called BMAFDS (Bald Men Against Follicular Discrimination Society) soon.

On a sidenote, still wondering what it’s like to be gruntled. But think it might be something I’d enjoy.
