Post 119

last night went cycling with jia jun and yes, only with him because another friend who supposedly going fall sick. 10 dollars whole night bicycle rental and you get to choose your own bike, definitely worth it when their bike are even better than mine and condition is 9.9/10... basically for the whole night, i been eating a lot rather than cycling. before cycling off, i have three goreng pisang at changi village and that where the rental shop is. dinner is at old airport hawker centre which is about a 2 hour trip.

reached old airport area close to 9pm and have the delicious prawn mee there... yummy, the standard is always there... then we embark on the journey to ze wei house who was sick at west sengkang. from kallang to sengkang, small piece of cake. but because i have to pass by a large area of MRT construction site, i make a detour and ended up making a wrong choice. instead of using guillemard road, i make a detour at aljunied road and hell, lots of prostitutes on the roadside, ranging from yound to old...(vomit) and a filipino prostitute try to stop me on my bike, she look like a filipino though. of course i shoo and ignore her and continued with my journey.

i realised one very serious problem along the route when my left paddle could not rotate freely, everytime my leg could slip off the paddle. we met a dead end along the upper serangoon park connector and asked a cyclist who was resting whether is there any alternate route to get out of there, he then show us a muddy route and it was very dark. luckily we have three touchlights and shove our way out. less than one and a half hour to reach his house, i think we are even faster than bus, plus fuel efficiency but energy consuming...

we chatted till 1am and left his house. my original plans was to reach republic poly, but i changed it to explore the mount faber and kent ridge via the newly open bridge. but in my condition now, i cant go any further. it been a while since i last cycled and my stamina is getting low. we ended having supper at buangkok area with 24 hour food court. the bak chor mee is nice, together with their ice kopi to refresh my mind and boost my stamina, however i tried their green bean soup and it was very disappointing...

new plan, go my house to kill time. from sengkang to tampines, a rather smooth ride and the sky was full of lightning as though it was going to rain soon. i brought my lappy down and watched movie. however, that was a good choice i made, it RAINED at 5 plus and it was a heavy downpour. luckily we never make it to kent ridge, or else we are stuck in the middle of no where. though it was still early, i asked my dad to fetch us to changi village to wait for the shop to open. heng sia, my ass is cracking... so food again, unresistable, fish ball noodle this time plus two teh tarik, not bad, better than the other stall. burppppppp..........!!!!!!!!!!! luckily the rental shop open very early and both of us rushed home to bath and sleep.

planning for another night cycling trip in mid december. and hate it when my holiday is over soon, two more days and school is reopened... damn it...

ciao,
damn tired.
