On 23rd February 2008 with my loved ones - hubby and daughter, i cycled 42km via Park Connector starting point East Coast Parkway thru Siglap Park Connector then behind Kembangan MRT through housing estate...hahaha where i accidentally cycled through a lady in purple. I rang my bell but my mind went mental block as i totally forgot to use the brake. She scolded me up and down for not using the brake, this what she said "I cycled too u know! U should brake!" What can i say? this is my early stage of cycling after three decades of not cycling. I profusely apologised to her for being a reckless cyclist.
After cycling through jungle of human beings and road blocks of traffic junctions.....i should not be doing this! I perservered to continue and thank for God's blessing...rain rain rain off we took shelter along Bedok Reservoir like a fugitive on the run. We continue to cycle when it began to drizzle....but asap we cycled....God's blessing again and this time round it was doubled pouring and this instant my idea of inventing a wiper for my spectacles.....i cant see!! Again we took shelter at a bus stop along Bedok Reservoir.
It was smoother cyling until i reached once again human jungle at Tampines....oh no! this should not be the way! Most of the time i was on my feet instead on the bicycle, before i ramped into another human again.
Along Pasir Ris....the most difficult part of cycling, we were going uphill and my bicycle refused to moved forward. So, i have to push her up and at that moment i made my mind that this will be my first and last attempt. I am contented to cycle around the park 10,000 times than this feat. We continue till we reached Changi Point for my sumptuous dinner/supper Ayam Peyek and 2 glasses of tea.
I love this stretch along Changi Coastal but it was a little quiet. As i cycled along Changi Airport, the path was splendid but along the road i felt eerie about the surroundings - it was well known for the weird happenings. Hehehe now i laughed to myself of me being so coward and i kept reciting for God's protection "Oh please Allah, dont let that things appear infront of me!' I was relief when we came across a group of boys, so the area not too scary..............but zoooom...they cycled past us in a second.
Phewww...we reached East Coast Park but the initial part was quite dark where i have to demounted the bicycle, i cant see! Light please!!!!
My perserverance went thin...but there is no turning back as i kept a look out for the bicycle shop. What did i gain? Knees pain, buttock pain, wrists pain infact total body pain....BUT it was a life experience for me for going through with my loved ones. Without them i dont think i will be able to write it in this blog. Kudos to them and a pat on my shoulder. Initially i said that this will be my first and the last, but by the end of it, i rephrase it : This is my first and it will remain my first. Got to force hubby to buy me a bicyle for my next feat.
