bike quest

gloomy weather throughout the whole day almost denied me of my chance of cycling for the ninth time last night. it was also my third time hitting the road. still considering myself as a novice for this sort of activity, i was still really looking forward to it and hoping that i could improve on controlling of the bike. embarking on this trip with me were hong hui, leonard and hui ying. the cool and wet weather dampened our spirits a little at the start. 

last night trip started off at east coast park at around 930 pm. the early timing posed some problems for us eventually. in the end, we ended up cycling for up to like 8 hours which was rather physically demanding especially for me as i was not having enough rest for the past few days. beside the physical challenge, the early timing also implied that we would be facing the traffic problem. this forced us to move onto the pavement and at times they could be longer and narrower.

this time round, the route that we took were rather from the past few times which i had. this is good for me at least so that i could get to see new things. anyway, this time round we travelled to zouk, botantic garden, bukit timah, newton food centre, orchard, boat quay and then lau pa sa. 

we did photo whore a little at start. but towards in the end, i think everyone got tired and just could n't wait for it to end. we managed to get our supper at newton food centre. the food wasn't bad. i was too full and starting to feel jaded. really lazy to move my bum and moved off to our next station then. we also had our fair share of fun at boat quay when we posed with those bronze statues. at lau pa sa, we decided to take a short a nap. this really showed how tired we were already. by six, we managed to get back to ecp. by then we kinda drained out. for me, i just couldn't wait to get home to wash up and sleep.

in the end, it was really a good night out. =)
