whee chalet was fun! i LOVED the overnight biking! though it was like damn tiring and painful for the thighs and especially the butts LOL.

14 of us with 13 bikes (one double bike), set off at 915pm to pasir ris park, but that was a waste cos we had absolutely no idea where to go or where we should be heading. in the end we hit a stupid dead end -.- and had to go back to downtown again.

finally when we decided where we should go, go we set off, at 945pm. we were headed for DHS CAMPUS @ TANJONG RHU! so we cycled through pasir ris park, then through pasir ris town park, then over the overhead bridge to tampines with the nice night view overlooking the TPE. cycled through tampines sun plaza park?

anyway, after that, the real 'fun' began. we ran out of parks to cycle through, so we cycled next to the roads. we were actually following the bus 12 route -.- cross TPJC, NAS, into simei, melville park where i almost lost my slipper crossing the road, expo, ITE, tanah merah MRT, into bedok through casafina, then through the scary underpass at 12mn and onto the highway to ECP.

on the highway, a problem occured with zhiyi's bike, the gears came loose. so there we were, stalled for the moment at 12.11am next to the highway -.- can you imagine the scene, you're driving home and you see 13 bikes and 14 people on the highway LOL. dont even talk about the highway, even on the roadside, 13 bikes cycling in a row late in the night hahaha.

ok after weihong managed to fix the bike, we reached ECP!! whoa you cant believe how relieved i felt after we could cycle on smooth roads you know for sure are for bicycles. LOL. cos cycling on roadsides with 13 bikes is SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. especially crossing roads at traffic junctions and ESPECIALLY WITH A DOUBLE BIKE! LOL.

riding through ECP was a breeze. we reached ECP macs at 1245 to meet geokfen. we slacked there for a while, ate and drank coffee. then the rest went on to cycle to tanjong rhu but me prida and cheryl decided to stay and watch the things. it was just an excuse to stay haha, cos my thighs were seriously killing me! i dont know why but it's never hurt that much before. even after the time when i was racing with 2G people and i cycled more than half of ECP in 15mins, that didnt ache as much as this.

so we stayed there and talked. until an hour later the rest came back. we stayed on at macs and me, kiayi, geokfen, wansi and shenmei and a nice weird interesting chat about random stuff in the playground LOL. i drank one more cup of coffee and ate breakfast, and then we set off again at 545am.

this time we decided, no more roads. so we cycled the safe route, through all the park connectors. cycled to the end of ECP, then through changi park connector which was a 7.9km long straight road, and i mean STRAIGHT. and it was right next to the airport runway! haha.

at the end of it came the changi beach park connector, the place where we ran for marathon this year. OMG I LOVE THESE 2 PARKS! partly cos it was 6-7am when we rode there. the sun was just about to come up, the grass all covered in morning dew, the air so fresh and cooling PLUS we were cylcing through the breezy air. what a way to relax and enjoy the end of a school year isnt it.

but after those two parks came torture again. the loyang connector. after changi village we cycled past aloha changi chalets, the old changi hospital, and then into loyang itself but next to roads again, though this time there was a distinct and separate path, a smoother one, for bikes. but the worst thing was A HUGE PART OF IT WAS UPSLOPE!!! omg talk about straining the thigh muscles. in the end when we were nearing pasir ris most of us had already given up, gotten off our bikes and wheeled it uphill. but then after all hardwork, we did get our 'rewards'. after the upslope came a long long way that DOWNSLOPE! ahaha we then got on again and it was freefall all the way for the next 2mins. then we're back in downtown again at 8.45am.

we went back to the bike rental shop to return them but it wasnt open yet, so we just slacked at the beach for the next hour -.- ooh, and by the end of it my thighs surprisingly didnt hurt at all anymore. though my butt still did. everyone's did -.-

so in total, it was 7 hours of riding over a 12 hour period. we were truly crazy.

we didnt even rest much after that. we carried on and went to wild wild wet for 3 hours hahaha.

stayed for the next night as well, though i might as well have gone home cos i stupid slept at 1030pm -.- and it was a repeat of last year's chalet. omg i seriously am a super heavy and deep sleeper man. last year, i could just pull up 2 cushions, lay it down behind the rest of the people who were playing kungfu chaos on the Xbox and screaming at the top of their lungs throughout the night, and SLEEP SOUNDLY until the next morning when most of them had already left for breakfast at macs without even waking me up. and i really did not hear a single thing when i was sleeping, nothing woke me up, not even the screams and shouts of 7 people.

and this year! we were watching ghost whisperer and i fell asleep on the mattress and didnt wake up until 7am the next morning. and guess what happened throughout that night? LIAN LAO SHI CAME TO VISIT AND I SLEPT THROUGH IT! no one bloody woke me up! the class took photos with him IN THE SAME ROOM and i was sleeping at the corner! after he left they continued to play on the two sets of DDR, again making a hell lot of noise, yet I WAS SOUNDLY ASLEEP AT THE CORNER! rarr. i really shouldnt have called my mother to turn back home can. she was already on the way to pick me up that night lah.

bleargh. anyway, considering i woke up at 720am on thurs, and only slept at 1030pm on sat, that means i didnt sleep for about 39hours! damn, 1 more hour and it could have been 40. anyway, it was a good attempt. hahaha.

anyway, here's some photos of the bike trip (:

on the overhead bride to tampines.
