today, i decided to ride. alone.
i procrastinated alot, and left the house at abt 10pm.
first stop, ECP.
i had a very lonely but peaceful dinner with my bike at this fitness corner.
queue's long.. but carl's jnr's portebello mushroom burger's whoooots man. really. the mushroom sauce + cheese is just so worth it.
7-11's smart move of selling alcohol like that.
then, i aimed to cycle to marina barrage (if theres time) / fullerton.
i left ecp at around 11.15pm.
then... around 11.45pm.. i was still at nichol highway. kallang bridge was packed.. roads were jammed. i think bikes were the fastest mode of transport.
then at 11.57pm, i got stucked in the massive crowd at the memorial for those who died in the war.. opposite raffles city. i had no idea what everyone was looking at.
i had no idea where to go or own to u-turn. dammit. so i just waited with everyone. waiting for smth that i duno even know what.
at 12am. cheers roared. cars at the road started horning. felt like one big family. ahhahs.then a few secs later.... fireworks.
so that's why. ahahahs.
not bad, i got to catch the fireworks.
took photos. at least got a gd & viewable spot.
using my very restricted camera. only could adjust metering and ISO and no tripod... so shots were like that. but just gd enough for myself to rmbr this.
i like this..
so yea. everywhere jammed. packed.
then i used the roads.
shiok. roads were closed. so i felt like i was cycling the OCBC cycling race in the night. hahhahas. but.. DAMN MALU PLS.
the super packed crowd on the walkway looks at u. some even cheered like as if i was like finishing first in the race pls. bloooddy embarrassing. if i'm with my friends, still ok. i'm alone pls. malu to the core. somemore, i was cycling against the traffic of the crowd, so i was facing them.
this is the vid that i dared to take when i wasn't facing them and when the crowd's lesser.
wanted to stop at fullerton... but the barricades were just so well done with ciso ppl all around. so i cycled on and on till nearing raffles place mrt.
at Raffles MRT
2 photographers.. probably taking part in the Eye in the City competition.
forget it guys. just go 7-11 buy a cheaper but the same bottle of beer and go lepak one corner.
so yea. i slacked there to rest and see peaceful waters.
then got a call.. that some of church friends having supper at Lavender.
so went there.
hahas. forgot to take photos.
b4 that, i took a wrong turn... ended up at the Cathay. ahhahs. then i realised.. i'm gg further. ahhahs. but, i happen to pass by Singapore Arts Museum. damn nice.
probably waited in total of 20mins to see all the displays.. these are some of my fav ones...
yea. so, in the end, i didn't make it to Sentosa. since i was alone and have not cycle there before in the night, i decided to not take the risk.
alrdy, when i was in town, at around Funan there, this drunk person purposely kicked my wheel. i almost fell. lucky i was fast enough to react. hahas.
at such events ar, it makes me feel like singapore's expats are the majority. most of the locals are probably at home watching tv or at atas clubs... construction workers/ Philippinos are everywhere.
ok. so yes, i'm safe hope. at a very safe ride home.
--
ok. so. 2009.
i totally didn't like it.
1. besides graduation, i can't rmbr what else happened significantly...
2. oh yea, i finally played Contact for the first time.
3. probably the most no. of days altogether. i was in Malaysia.
4. i joined Pirates in Jan. my first club for touch.
5. bye TP, hello SIM.
sch ended probably in feb.
i nuaed, trained, swam, and went out alot for supper and even to the extend of gg malaysia for supper.
then came july, all thanks to Amanda Teo's perseverance to ask me join her in SIM bowling team, i submitted the application on the last day, and even made late payment.
then august, SIM. same ol familiar faces.
projects. some new friends.
SUNIG. bowling 1st. touch 3rd. contact 1st.
ok. september, my sis got married.
december, large part of the month in Malaysia.
virgin time competiting bowling overseas- UITM.
finally played MILO, after not having time/money for so long.
missed Penang. (maybe gg this yr?)
ya. that's it.
i rly can't rmbr anything else unless i flip through photos/ fb updates.
all my 20 yrs of life, this is probably the most uneventful yr.
somehow, despite having so much free time, i've been MIA in church.
ok. so. this yr, my last yr to play as a youth. b4 i hit 21, graduate, and start working. so i want to really use my youth all out.
looking ahead; what's next:
1. No procrastination.
2. Be focused in every task.
3. I want to lead a healthier lifestyle, physcially, and spiritually.
4. BIKE TP'S IN 14 JAN. I NEED TO PASS THIS AND GET MY LICENSE.
5. I want to graduate on time. dec10.
6. more overseas tournament.
7. OSIM. my first triathalon (sprint distance). and may probably be the last?
8. probably want to be the one initiate outings and planning them, rather than be lazy abt everything.
9. Be more patient. and really work harder for my goals.
10. ? may God be my compass then.
