Night cycling

It sure took me long enough to recover and write something about my night cycling last Sunday.

Night cycling - Cycling during the night. Sounds chim and tiring. And no one mentioned we're going to watch sun rise until the last minute. I guess if someone did told me, I'm too tired to conceive what the heck it'll going to happen.

On the same day of my first crazy night cycling, I went to Johor Bahru to celebrate my friend's birthday and my birthday, earlier. It wasn't our birthday until a month later, but her vacation will be finished soon and has to go back to Malaysia. So we decided it's best to celebrate while we still get the chance to met.

Well, we went to shop around in City Square, had lunch in Secret Receipe, watched Initial D in cinema, stopped by a drinks stall and have a drink, exchange gifts and back we went. That roughly took 7 hours.

That was fun, especially the exciting and funny Initial D the movie. Period.

She gave me a necklace.

After I got back to Singapore, I went out again with another friend of mine. We ate our dinner at the food court opposite Ginza Plaza. Man! That guy ate fried prawn noodles AND fish and chip for dinner!

Of course, I'm kiasu kind of guy, so I ate sliced fish soup with rice and chicken nudgets with salad and red beans and french fries. I'm glad I ate that much, I had really needed that much of energy later that night.

I didn't plan of going for night cycling that day, because I wasn't sure if I still have any energy left. I woke up at 7.30 in the morning and I haven't took a nap yet! However, I was eventually persuaded by my friend and rush to East Coast Park (ECP). That tooks me 2 hours and another half an hour to walk to the correct destination. How on earth did I end up in the wrong side of the park!?

When I reached there, I was pretty scared. Everyone is still there waiting. I tried to be cool and luckly no one made any sudden movement. Tri called others who are waiting for me (they are waiting for me on the side) to gather back. And we finally began our night cycling...

From 11.30 at night to 6.30 in the morning, 7 hours without sleep.

From East Coast Park to Changi Airport to somewhere in Singapore and back to East Coast Park, roughly 7 km.

Saw beautiful sun rise, airplane taking off and landing and pretty she-male, priceless.

I can't remember when was the last time I cycled, but I like the feeling when I tried to speed with my bicycle, and making the strecthing sound of the tire when I squeezed the brake! The feelings is so great, especially after watching Initial D. Too bad I do not know how to drift with my bicycle.

Sunrise


Watching the sunrise and listening to the wave is rewarding after a whole night of cycling and sweat has started to crystalize on my shirt. Of course, that's not the only rewarding thing, because the journey itself is worth the memory! Thanks guys for waiting for me! The night cycling was fun! *SMILE*


P.S. I slept at 10 am to 6 pm on the next day. Hehe!

Secret Agent? How can it be a secret if you blog it all over the internet, unless you did it in a language no one could understand? I remember something like:
Bu pa tien,
Bu pa di,
Jiou shi pa,
Waigouren shou Zhongguohua!

But I'm sure I got the pinyin wrong.
私は日本人だから中国語が分からない、よ!
Sorry, anyway, may I ask, "are you familiar with any of these blogging tools?

Bolg Explosion,

Blog Exchange,

Blog Clicker,

Blog Soldiers"?

Regards, Hypatia Theon <- Read all about it here!

P.s. Let me know if any of those help you, o.k.?

Hmm... Good question. But the things I wrote isn't really a secret right? It just serve as a sweet memory for me, and others (^_^)

不怕天,(bu pa tian)
不怕地,(bu pa di)
就是怕,(jiu shi pa)
外国人说中国话!(wai guo ren shuo zhong guo hua)

I know a guy from Denmark and a Spanish guy who knows how to speak Chinese. I think that's pretty cool!

Thanks for telling me about the tools, but I'm fine with less people knowing about my blog. Hehe.
