Night Cycling

19th December 2007

I must be mentally deranged to give night cycling green light whilst on MC for fever, body ache, flu and headache. A night full of surprises was the brain-child of 3 acquaintances from secondary school.

Giam (top right) all alert, dressed in blazing red and equiped with 3 light sticks was our 'last man'. We were in the same class back in sec1&2. Joined the NationalCadetCorps and chuckled whenever he saw me in my NPCC uni. The envy of 30 odd students, he remained an unbeatable in Math class.

Leo (bottom left) the avid cyclist was the pace-setter and fore-man that night. As far as sec sch life, me and leo were concerned, he was out of sight, literally. All i knew of him was his notorious heart strings tugging at my BFF. Oh yes, we met (officially) last year at BFF's LunarNewYear gathering. (Uh huh kelly, talk bout your eventful gatherings.)

Tracy and a japeful night brought us together. We used to dislike each other cause "she diao.ed me at J8." (She claimed and so be it!)

Dad the Jack of all trades,master of none was kind to pick Tracy, I and 2 stylo-milo bikes up from home and send us to Esplanade's MakanSutra area. Actually, the above mentioned description is a way understatement. He's the electrician, plumber, carpenter, chauffeur, repairman, painter, cook, etc. An attribute lacking in all men these days. But never a husband i want to have nor hold. Ok i shall not go on with my sticky family issues. Mere few minutes and i've learnt how to dismantle the front tyres of a bicycle! Old he may be, he loaded/unloaded, dismantled/fixed the bikes and made sure the tyres brakes and gears were in tip top condition. He promised to pick us up too!


Fort Canning Park's located in the heart of the city, yet a beautiful escape from the hustle bustle. A magnificant building glowing in warm light, set admist lush greenery. It reminded me to catch a breather now and then, and sometimes, just watch life go by.

At Ministry-Of-Sound expecting a visual treat. Was utterly disappointed cause the handsome were either taken or ghey. The rest looked hum sup.

We checked out Timbre1 and chanced upon a Toyota AE86 Treuno.

I thought we should take a picture here, cause kel and i saw KCG at Lido's McDonald's months ago. Casually dressed in sports shoes jeans tee goatee grey hair half-frame glasses, i went oh-so-gaga and blurted "chu guan!" He and M.Ong were my only inspiration during attachments at NDC. Specialist consultants they may be, but i see their commitment to excellent practical teaching, and their humble-ity is most admirable. I definately miss them, my regular patients whom have shared part of their personal lives with me, and the days at NDC with Joyce. Thinking back bout 'upgrading' from tiny operatory unit 4 to a room, doing last minute preparations for oral viva and case presentation, falling asleep while assisting, helping each other prepare forms, getting impatient waiting for supervisors, being cross with classmates for (unknowingly) cutting the que-aiyah i miss joyce larh. She was my bouncy partner BOTH at NDC & HPB. I vividly remember going the extra mile for some patients, cursing when xxx was supervising that day, changing in.out of scrubs illegally in room9, lunching at the stairs, gatherings with folks from other cliques, ... What did i just say? Thought this's a post bout night CYCLING.

"Submitting my MC the very next day!"

I thought blooming plants are a rare sight here in Sg. These pillars remind me of establishing a strong foundation in any endeavour.

Dad called to inform that i'd have to make my way home. My heart sank as i didnt get my salty fingers on SeaweedShakerFries from the golden magnificant arches of McDonald's. Last group photograph as we parted at Kallang Indoor Stadium.

We were home in <15mins.

Im not a perfectly rounded sports woman, but the driving enthusiasm to cycle at night for hours is so great it makes my 'faults' seem insignificant. It is more than being random and trying out something new, it's bout setting aside time, putting in extra effort to make sure it happens, working together to ensure everyone else's safety and figuring out roads.

Up next year.. PADI Open Water Certification! Yipeee yayy yayy yipee yipee yayy yayy!! Chris, come home soon, honey!

Saturday and my sudden craze in pyjamas. Forgive me for making a sexy hefty purchase of satin and lace. Who's gonna be the not-so-lucky lad? Whoever said pJ themed parties means going in home clothes?

Working with Kristine today was a breeze thou appointment slots were fully packed. At least i know she didnt talk bad bout me since its our 2nd time working together. :)
LadyBoss and her misson trip trap. Excited+++! I love immersing in another culture. Those, are the most memorable travel experiences.
