another 1st experience again!!! this time its night cycling... not bad but really painful after that...
actually i was already a bit sick before the cycling. Had running nose but i still went for the overnight cycling. It was really fun. We started out meeting at the bicycle rental shop around 10.30 pm and checked out our bikes. Then we divided ourselves into 2 grps. we then set off from east coast park and cycled all the way to the end of east coast. then we moved out onto the roads. I cant really remember the actual route we went now, but i remembered we went by the indoor stadium. Stopped there to take a break and played polar bear game. then we continued on to kallang and then to Lau Pa Sat. Took another break there at ard 1.30 am and eat supper...(can consider breakfast liao hahahhaha....). Some stalls were still operating at 1.30am! Wow! Like dim sum, western food, satay and dessert. Eating dim sum and satay i can imagine, but can u imagine eating ice kachang at 1.30am in the morning!!!!???? 1st meal of the day and its ice kachang!!! OMG hahahahah...... but nothing wrong wif it lar.... heehee... personal preference
After the pit stop, we continues on and went by esplanade... it was so nice wif all the spot lights and all.. we took pictures along the way. the night was very cool and cycling by the singapore river, it was windy and cooling. Along the way, where we cycled in parks, we can gather in a small grp as we cycle and chat. Anyway, we just cycled and cycled, went into orchard rd and made a U turn at Borders at Wheelock. Then we go all the way down along wisma, taka, cineleisure and then to plaza sing... where we made our final pit stop before we go all the way back to east coast. Sometimes i find it a bit scary to cycle along the road. although there isn't much traffic at night, but still its along roads. however, its a very unforgettable experience...
so we made it safely back to east coast with practically no 'casualty'..(cept tat one of our members fell down before we got out of east coast). there was a lorry that followed us along the way for anyone who wanted to rest. but majority completed the whole journey on bike. we finished our adventure at ard 5am in the morning. We could only return our bike when the shop open at 8. so some of the pple went off to the jetty, some went home and the rest of us hung out at the shop to take care of the bikes. we ended up playing card game that i fell in love with eventually! hahaha but the game can't be found in sg... it was bought overseas by one of my cousin's fren. so playing for a few hrs of card games, the shop finally opened and we returned all the bikes. Boy, at that time, i was totally unfocused in what i was doing. so tired mentally and physically. Although i tot the cycling was rather leisure, the muscle starts to feel the strain after some time. so after breakfast at nearby hawker centre, i took a bus home wif my cousin who stay nearby my home. it was sleep all the way back home on the bus..... and both my legs hurt so much that i could not sleep at all. kept groaning in bed...and i had to run out of muscle cream @ the moment I need it MOST!!!!! after a short (and much agonizing) nap, had to drag myself to the shop and buy the cream.... then it was sleep all the way to dinner time....
next time, i'm gonna make sure i have all my supplies ready before i do this kind of activity again.... and result of the experience: Fell sick with flu, cough and sore throat...... *ouch* hahahahhahah.... but it was fun fun fun!!!!!! =)
