THE FIRSTLOOK& i knew you were mine, and no one elses.

i slept at 8am this morning, only to find myself awaking from my deep slumber at 530pm. my body clock is seriously, undoubtedly, screwed up. well, blame it on night cycling. it sucked all the energy out of me! imagine not sleeping throughout the night, and meanwhile, cycling about 50km around singapore. Pure, UNADULTERATED torture man. haha. but it was fun.

i guess it's my first time doing a thing like that. the 10 of us, me, sihui, yawen, huishan, zihao, denise, yunhua, peixin, zhenxiong and his friend set off from east coast. surprisingly, an overnight rental of a bike cost a mere five bucks. quite a bargain. though we did not cycle from east to west, north to south, but it was tiring enough. undulating roads were the worst. you may think that a gentle slope is nothing but chicken feet, you're wrong. cause when you cycle up the slope, you'll realise the amount of effort you have to put in just to drive that puny bike up =s argh.

oh and poor huishan was the first casualty. her bike scraped the side of the pavement, causing it to topple over. she had multiple injuries, especially on her arm. woah, the abrasion was a large one. hope she recovers soon..

me, myself had a fair share of that sort of excitement. once, just outside the istana, my bike went out of control as the wheels went into contact with the side of the pavement. my bike came crashing down, and i have no idea how i did it, but i jumped out of the bike like a stuntman. okay, not really. but i came out unscathed. lucky me. was some divine intervention i guess. hmm, and there were adrenalin pumping moments where we drove down 3 flight of stairs (as in just 3 stairs). LOL. that resulted in my taillight falling out and getting stuck between my brake wires and my rear wheel. what a lousy bike.

all in all, it was a wonderful night, tiring, but worthwile. especially the ride through the town area and stopping at merlion park. ah, the sea breeze and the uncomparable view from there. whilst the majestic fullerton hotel stands to our right, and right in front was the erm un-lit esplanade. okay, perhaps we were too late, so they turned off the exterior lights. but it was still beautiful. ahh.

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
