After I posted on the blog regarding my supposed "near death" brush while cycling in Putrajaya, Jamie Pang texted me with an idea of his, guaranteed of solving my poor peripheral vision issue.
He was going on and on about installing side rear-view mirrors of sort which I thought the entire point was to pull at my leg.
I rolled my eyes, texted back something along the lines of "shoo!", and conversation about it ended.
Then one day, he Whatsapp me post-PD tri and said he was gonna show me the semi-actualized vision of his idea......
Behold......
His vision....in 2 dimension!!!!!
Side rear-view mirrors for the bike, and just in case I'm THAT much of a klutz and unfortunate-event-magnet, side rear-view mirrors for the helmut to cover my, figuratively speaking, arse.
I'm thinking it must have been a really slow day at work for him.....
.....oh well, at least I had a good laugh about it.
The title of this blog post is after all, randomness of the week, mind you!!!!
Later!!!!!

Well, above are a few available in the market. One of the best that I have seen is a retractable attach to the helmet type. It could be adjust to the minimum without removing it. Hmm.. if I got a pic.. will show u later..
