Sunday, December 3
this is an early morning blog for last nights event.
as usual saturday, luckily work till a 4 pm shift. went home straight after doing some xtra stuff and have a nice fresh bath, met zg for an overnight cycling. generally it was a fun ride, we had dinner 1st, at a nice cozy lil bar.something like the one i went with my best friend on thursday night, just that this is by the sea. being broke and almost penniless, we had only beer to order from any other alcoholic drinks to chose from. Its a shame coz looking at the list of cocktails, i really felt like trying them out even though i know my purse will be emptied, i will go there again one of these days, just for the cocktails this time.
It was my 1st time riding bicycle overnight, it was charged at $12, overnighter, pretty good price although the bicycle made some funny noise here and there. we made a lot of stops for smokes, went to the water ski thingy, the bedok jetty,oh yeah, the moon that time was splendid. somehow there is this wide ring around the moon that looks like a full circle rainbow. it was like a fantasy, those that u only see in movies with elfs and fairies. not to mention the air at night was really wonderful, cooling, fresh. the smell of trees and grass just makes me feels heavenly. I am not much of a nature person but living in a city like singapore, that smell once a while really relax oneself totally.
on the whole i think there are bout 2 not so good incident. nothing serious, just part of things that are bound to happen when u don't know how to ride a bike properly, and when you're afraid of 6 legged black oval things with triangular head and sometimes wings.
i was talking to zg while on a bike thinking i am already quite stable but the curb in the middle of the road appear out of nowhere, probably didn't see it and bump. fell down. no injuries expect some skin tear and blue black, but i luv all those eitherway , peeling the skins and pressing the blue blacks. Don't u just luv the feeling?
another time was when i was off the bike, there is a freaking roach on the floor, very near me! it was like the size of a 50 cents coins, freaking huge, i didn't even know if it could fly and i didn't wanna know. i wanted to scream and run but i was holding on to the bike , if i did run the bike would have fall off, who knows if it would still be in one piece when i return it. so i had to hold on to the bike and walk one big round the bike to avoid the roach. good it ran into the grass and out of my sight. for a while after that, i had doubts of lying on the grass. but one thing came after another, that incident found its way to the back of my mind.
and 0h yeah , the 3rd thing is , well... i was trying hard to keep my balance and not to fall off the bike and etc etc etc.... zg's mobile rang, but he just ask me to go 1st. i did, but after a while , still struggling with the bicycle. i thought i might have went too far for him to catch up to. so i went off the bike and looked behind. there he was, happily chatting on phone and riding the bike, and look at me with a cheeky face and rode off. A fine example of a classic cow ass. 101 methods of killing a cow just came up my mind right that instant. ggrr..
after a while of fun riding. we found a good peaceful spot to lie down on the grass at , but the grass was kinda wet, looked around for things to put on the grass, end up finding a huge plastic wrap thing, enough for at least 3 person . but the tree leafs was kinda blocking the view of the moon and stars.
so after a light supper, we change a diff spot, this time there are no trees blocking, the sky is almost all without our sight, the moon is clear and the stars are seenable. with this kind of scenery, a clean big plastic wrap to lie on, the cool sea breeze and the nice fresh air, what could one feel like doing other then sleep. i was already thinking of a pillow then, zg magically made a pillow out of the excess plastic wraps. but only for one person use. poor him had to lie his head ont he hard grass floor. well i offered, and we shared the "pillow" but somewhere in the middle of the night. i was half asleep so i don remember what really happen, but the pillow magically turned into a one man pillow again.
The smart smart cow who remembered to remind me to bring a jacket coz its gonna be cold at night, didn't get a jacket for himself. so i thought maybe he could withstand the chill at night. but just to make sure, over the night i did ask him a few times if he's cold, he refuse to say yes, only early in the morning when the night gone by, he was telling me how cold he was... freezing and i am beside enjoying my jacket and pillow. am i evil or is he just too "smart" ? tell me.
we're woken up by a bit of morning drizzle, took shelter at a nearby eating place. and went riding for mac donalds breakfast. been quite a while since i had mac donalds breakfast, it was nice and warming. but even when we finish eating, the bicycle shop haven't begin their day. had to wait a while on benches by the sea, the wind made me sleepy, somehow i just fell asleep on zg. haha didn't know i can sleep sitting, but today i found out.
