went for night cycling ytd night with hall mates! its was reli reli super tiring. and thru the night cycling...i just realized 3 things.

1. i don't know how to make turns
2. i do not have the habit of using the bike brake
3. i don't know that bike has gears

zzz. like after 9 years since i've learnt how to ride a bike only then i realized these things.

come to think of it, i really didn't make turns on the bike before. my family used to go to the changi beach every sunday for cycling. and the road there is a straight road. so i didn't really have to make turns.

and when there is a need for me to u-turn(upon reaching the end of the road)..i used my feet to u-turn..instead of the handle.

also..my feet are used as brakes..since i don't have the habit of pressing the brakes..not to mention that i cycled at a super slow pace.

and my bike only has got one gear.

which explains y i nearly headed straight for the tree and when our group approached the first turn of the whole night cycling trip.

everybody asked if my brakes are spoilt or sth. since i didn't really slow down as i headed for the tree. but actually its due to the fact that i did not press the brake.

i just feel so >.< whenever i think back that i actually nearly headed straight for the tree.

anyways ytd's night cycling we were like speeding can.(actually e pace wouldn't seem so bad if i didn't have to slow down/stop at every single turns)

from pasir ris park to tampines to bedok to east coast to indoor stadium. and then back to pasir ris from the same route again.

they wanna make it back in time for the bus to fetch them back in hall and hence they were rushing.

i've nv cycled so fast in my whole life before. my legs were like machine like that pedaling non-stop.

and i became the 'lastwoman' of the group ytd. hahas. since i cycled the slowest..having to stop at almost all the sharp turns.

and when i stopped to turn e rest of the group will be like -zzoooommm- and disappeared. like totally out of sight.

and poor KC being the last man, gotta follow my slow pace and stopped everytime i stopped. >.<

really felt super duper happy when we reached the indoor stadium. took lotsa photos there.

oh. then qinglin was super kind as to exchange bikes with me on the way back as he realized that my bike was heavier than the rest.

really really super grateful to him ne. i felt so much better riding his bike...and i think cycling on his bike is much faster than cycling on my bike.

oh oh and we passed by vj!!! was so super huai nian...its gd to be in a small sch on a flat ground..don't have to walk ard much and climb horrible slopes.

and i think i have alot more life when i was in vj as compared to ntu. can go to town whenever we're free.

yupx anyways reached back at pasir ris park at like 6am like that. and i'm super proud of myself for being able to make it all the way back!! despite the burning sensation i felt in my legs. =)

on the bridge!
