Buying a new body - for me not the bike!

[sweetp]

Hiya all, well I am off on an adventure to buy a new body and it was suggested i do a thread talking about how it is going. Off course this is a bike fourm so i need to link it back to bikes somehow!

So the deal is I am off to Singapore for a holiday and then KL in Maylasia for 23 days. While there I am having a total body makeover - neck lift, breast lift(wahoo), arm and thigh lift, extended tummy tuck and tons of lypo. Linking this back to bikes, the tummy tuck will mean I have a greater selection of bikes I can ride as the tummy wont be on the tank oh and also having lasik on my eyes so i don't have to do the glasses / helmet thing!

Set myself a goal before i left that i would get my post counts up over the 280 mark to become a snr member. Thinking cruising KB while high on drugs should be fairly normal for a member....

Anyway back to linking in bikes, well Singapore has tons of them. At the moment we have found so many that are just soooo ready for the bucket track! And so much for the all the gear all the time phlosophy, apart from a helmet I am yet to see anyone wear anything at all protective. And apparently, yes you can wear jandels and ride a bike.

Going to explore a couple of bike shops later today (along with a number of other shops!) as we found some in the alley by the hotel. Shops are open 10-10 here but as they are 4 hours behind we were out exploring at 5am! Now I have had a nap I think i am ready to go. Although we are staying next to this bizzare department store that is open 24/7. it is packed to the gunnels with tacky nick nacks, and high end goods. Totally strange but interesting to explore.

Will keep you updated on how it goes....

Crikey! You wouldn't catch me voluntarily letting someone near me with a scalpel, let alone having all that stuff done at once!

But you've obviously thought about it and know what you're doing - so all I can say is good luck, have fun, and I hope you're delighted with the results.

And of course this thread is useless without pictures - so how about some before and after pics so we can appreciate the difference?

will have to hunt out some photos but the after shots may have to wait. Takes a wee while for things to settle down and for me to look my fab self. For those who are interested in plastic surgery holidays just google gorgeous getaways. Way cheaper than having it done at home, but you need to have a few things done to make it economically viable.

what are you doing with the old tits? i hear fonterra will collect them for free

Prolly won't cost a lot more than we have to pay for the removal of hXc's wisdom tooth!
Free dental care for under 18's..what a joke! At $1400, I'm not laughing, but I guess someone is (ie the dentist!)
I hope you are happy with the results.

So, assuming you don't change your lifestyle, did they tell you how long it'll all take to grow back?

Ahhhh how refreshing. Cynicism is not dead after all!

Ok went shopping today. Was an interesting experience, living next door to the 24/7 indian bazzar / dept store didn't really give us many expectations for the rest of the shopping. We were told the place to go was orchard road, so into a taxi we go and head there. We walked into the first department store and all we could see was tiffanys, cartier, hugo boss etc. Thought hmmm this isn't the place for us! With the exchange rate pretty much one for one and the prices not to much cheaper than home (even on electrical items) we decided to head to china town.

Now that was a great idea, i shopped up a storm. Cant tell you what i got as Nasty would find out what I am bringing her home, but lets just say that there is silk galore! Things like 3 silk ties / scarves for $5, silk table runners for $6 etc and some really georgous things. Anyway I had a lot of fun buying gifts to take home. Even managed to find a couple of wrap around skirts for me.

Did the skype thing and called home (talked for 2 hours and payed about $2) which was great. Ended up going to McDonalds for dinner, which was interesting - the basic menus is the same (big mac, mcchicken, fillet o fish) but other than that very different. I wasn't game enough to try the green tea mcflurry but thinking I will do breakfast there tomorrow and try the mcgriddle sasague thing

I know Macers isn't what I should be eating but we are in the middle of little india and there isn't much choice if you dont want curry and i had curry for breakfast. We were wondering the streets at 5am trying to find someplace open (it was 9am nz time) and stumbled across this indian stall on the side of the road. Had a very interesting chickpea donut and crape with suger and curry sauce. Not bad and for $3.50 for the two of us good value for money.

If you do want to check out singapore mcdonalds they have a website www.mcdelivery.com.sg and yes it is right - they deliver 24/7.

In order to keep this thread motorcycle related I would like to now give my bike observations:

Motorbikes have to have front licence plates, can be a sticker across the fairing but most have that scary slicey thing down the front wheel.

They also have to pay for parking in some areas - coupon parking is not motorbike exempt. Tip: the fuel cap key cover makes an excellent coupon holder. Although many people also go for the bulldog clip on the visor option.

Bike stores here tend to only sell helmets and repair seats. Although Wannerbiker did go into one that sold gloves and codura, however as I am yet to see anyone at all wear this i am thinking that shop was an exception not the rule.

Singaporians have an obsession with top boxes, i have seen hundreds of bikes and just a handfull that don't have them. And they sometimes are in better nick than the bike.

So thats all for now folks, tomorrow is touristy day and we are off to see some sights. I am sure i will be able to find some motorbike related info in order for this thread not just to be about my holiday.

I'm waiting for the expected post that says "... oh since we're here for a couple of days we ended up buying a Honda step-through each for $15 to get around the city on ..."

Loving those stories girl, keep em coming and really rooting for you when you get to KL
