whole body aching all over... it's been awhile since i've had exercised this much. really it was a first time that i've cycled this much! took my bike out and met my fren, who had cycled from choachukang, outside my house. poor guy had to cycle 45mins under the hot sun juz to meet me. then it was us two having to ride to holland to meet another fren. by then, we were already reddish from the sunburn! journey took 30mins. then it was us three guys cycling to queensway to meet up another 2guys. plan was to have a quick lunch there den go over to his house and stay over or maybe cycle back home. played awhile at his house den we all cycled to hollandv for dinner at bk den went to breckos to lac. chatted there over drinks den we decided to what the hell, just cycle to rivervalley to meet another fren!

so a bunch of guys set off for rivervalley on their bikes at night. without any back nor front lights for safty. on the road to orchard, met this uncle who warned us 200m ahead there was shattered glass all over the road. so lucky we were careful cos only 100m ahead there was a fallen street lamp-post and shreds of glass were across the road. heng detour so no tire punctures. riding along orchard juz feels different from walking along it at night. lost our way at rivervalley so had to ask him ride out to meet us. he sneak out of hse also so funni. you can go to so many places that u never knew existed on bikes. chiong all the way past ms, robertson, clarkquay, boatquay den to esplanade. all couples there. lovelorn. night beauty. so beautiful. at first wanted to juz enjoy the ambiance there and relax. den dunno who's bright idea. cycle to east coast. why not?! the roads belonged to us! save for the frequent police cars. den as we were happily racing along the road, police pulled up in front of us. asked what were we doing, took ic, record down address. dunno for what. speeding? ha. den we were informed that we were taking the wrong way to ecp. ya, followed the police car's way and we soon found ourselves at the end of ecp. yes, by car it would have been fast. but our way would have been much quicker on bike. and my watch got smashed! so sad. sat near this music cafe. music was great. sat there played bridge. chiobus. so tired. den it was all the way back to rivervalley for pratas and tehtariks. by then i was already almost falling off my bike. watch kids going off to school and housewifes going to the market. even thinking of the return journey shagged. tedious journey all the way back home. finally back tdy at 10am. it was worthwhile fun. get to journey through all the small alleys and streets of s'pore. 20hours of pure biking. late night life. great experience. those guys would all be gone into ns in a week's time. gonna miss 'em.
