riding my bicycleeeee
Started at gardens then rode down yck road the longest road (seemingly) til we hit lentor and then yishun. From yishun, we rode past mrt tracks and THEN IT STARTED TO POUR so we sought shelther for awhile before continuing on and eventually finding our way to the seletar reservoir dam that kw brought me last time. Twas nice! On the whim, we decided to take a little detour from our original planned route and to head to sunset grill area since we were nearby. So off we went cycling on puddle filled roads with dirty truck water with trucks and cars zooming past us (scary road that was) Felt like I was in malaysia kampung. Then went through winding roads and eventually wound up at sunset grill! I surprised myself by remembering the way there hehe after getting lost with kw the last time. Was very nice and empty of cars hurray so we practically had the whole road to ourselves. The hugeass colonial houses were set against a lovely backdrop of bloo sky with wispy clouds i wished i had my holga with me.
Then it was lunchtime! So we headed off to jalan kayu for some prata. Remind me never again to order mushroom cheese prata there please, its exorbitant! A hefty six buckeroos!! After lunch the sun was out at full blast and we were suffering from post lunch inertia but still, we biked back to yck road, then upper thomson road, through macritchie and onto lornie road where I was trudging along the gradual inclined road huffing and puffing. Realised that we were on the wrong side of the road so we carried the bikes across the freaking overhead bridge (a workout for the arm muskles toooo) And then Sime Road, which was wonderfully empty and also downhill hurrayyyy so we zipped all the way down and ended up near law sch. Rode past rtc and then squeezed past bushes and jayran across a road with high speed zooming cars leading on to the expressway oh goodness. Made it across alive and started our way up mt pleasant. Logic tells us that for every uphill theres a downhill so after trudging up the hill down we went down all the wayyyyyy woop. My only gripe was that there were too many cars on that road. Couldnt zip down as freely as I wanted.
Nevertheless, still safe and sound with no injuries whatsoever yet, we headed past fareastflora which brought back pb memories. I also got whacked in the face by this girl carrying a horde of sunflowers (my only injury of the day haha). Rode past ri and back to rj for a drink. Then biked through bishan onto braddell road, and headed for gardens and then up back to my house. Home sweet home!
Safe and sound. Though I nearly lost my balance umpteen times today while squeezing through narrow busstops and pavements, I am still alive! Also conquered numerous elements of nature - sun, rain, mud. Now my ass hurts and my knee feels funny from bending and unbending. And I have emerged darker (redder for the second time this wk), wetter, grubbier and also happier (:
Its things like these that make me feel alive.
