Post 148

it friday the 13th yesterday, and a series of unfortunate event happen on me very badly... as written on my previous, a retarded shut down my computer improperly, and guess whose turn on friday?? it was ME, my leg accidentally touches the switch and off it!!! data gone once again!!!

then at night, a group of my friends met up for night cycling, mark, marcus, henry, jia jun and xun xiong, our destination was west coast park... everything went smoothly at first until we reach our first stop for dinner at bedok block 85. then i realise i forgot to bring my wallet!!!! luckily henry paid for my dinner, and he said: 'today is also my bad luck, i have to pay for you!' wahahahaha, thanks henry...

after dinner, we went on our way to east coast park went my left gear broke up, the wire came off and i only left my right gear for adjustment!!! that twice that the same gear has given me the same problem!!!

after crossing the kallang river via benjamin sheares bridge, i feel very bumpy on my back wheel. i stop and realise and saw a dent on my wheel rim, further stress on the dented part will puncture my wheel. so i took a stone and hit on the dented part so that the brake won't slide against the dented area. lucky that it goes well for the rest of the journey...

lastly when we are near pasir panjang area, mark's bike back wheel got punctured. our journey came to a halt. our attempt to pump air to the wheel fail and there was indeed a whole on the rubber. we try to stop a pickup truck to ferry us back to tampines but no lorry stop for us... our final decision was to ask mark hail a cab and wait for us at east coast macdonald with his bike, the rest of us cycle back to east coast.

to return the bike to the owner at changi village, we pushes our bike from east coast back to changi village. because i using my own bike, i was able to get home first, so we parted ways at expo.

my total distance traveled was only 62km - 51km for cycling 11km for pushing our bike back. we were rather disappointed that we are unable to reach our destination, we will conquer west coast park on our next night cycling trip!!!

ciao,
bad luck...
