Last Sunday:
I went cycling with fel n jaey. Fel n i met earlier cos jaey has her vet. So we rented a bike rather early. we started cycling at about 1 i think? we cycled to the end of east coast park where safra is. We actually stopped quite a few times on the way to rest. I think fel was having a bit of trouble with her bike after one of our stops. The bike appeared much more difficult to cycle. We realised that we actually tangled up the brake wires after her bicycle fell once. This increased the force of the brake pads on her wheels. LOL! luckily we figured out early, else we r gonna suffer. But her seat wasn't nice. so we changed that bicycle for her. Jaey joined us later and we cycled our 2nd round to the end of east coast again! that's really taxing. i haven't tried that before. fel n i cycled a total of 6hours in the end =.= My legs were suffering from an accumulation of lactic acid. I could feel myself having trouble walking.
When i'm at east coast, i could feel a sense of nostalgia. Well, both night cycling experiences were memorable to me. The first one was with the class... i could still rmb how much my butt aches after the few hours of cycling. I learnt a good lesson. We must choose good bikes with good seats.
The second was more of exploration. we went through quite a few obstacles. Going through HDB estates, crossing bridges...carrying our bicycles up and down bridges...crossing roads... cycling thru tunnels, reaching east coast park, stayed there n chatted with my fellow '88s then cycling back... it was a great night. The morning was however, disappointing. I felt a sense of loneliness. Perhaps i was abandoned? I guess i was thinking too much. I was being emotional. I just cycled the entire pasir ris alone... with my mp3... and there's no one around in the morning, so it was quite peaceful. Considering that i've already cycled long hours at night, cycling again was physically demanding. esp when i din have breakfast and dinner the night before. Oh well...it's nice to sit alone at the stone areas and look at the sea... quite soothing... that dae is still quite vivid in my mind. I was saved from depression for a moment. maybe it was just a illusion.

For the rest of the week, it's actually quite quiet at the office since some of them were not around. Farhan's last dae was on friday. So sad...fellow '88 gone... then i'm the only '88 around. well, there's limited genY info to share about. =(

I went crazy over nausicaa's music recently. Well, i've been searching for some time and i found the orchestral videos on youtube with joe hisaishi! i din noe joe hisaishi is that old looking. The music is quite soothing, and full of emotions. I could feel myself on the verge of tearing when i hear the music. The music is extremely touching, especially when u link it with the content of the movie.

Friday, i went botak jones with bun. Not bad lah the food... the portion was huge and the chicken was huge!! i had so much trouble cutting because it was so thick. The melted cheese was great but i din like the spicy sauce on it. I think it was because it was a bit too spicy for me...

Today! (sat)
I met up with jaey, fel n huiyi at thomson for dinner. Fel and i met early again because i had rda and she was out already. We had icecream at macs. i ate a sundae and she ate a mcflurry. There's 2 new flavours: berries n mudpie. i wonder how they taste like. Huiyi joined us later. Jaey's late cos of vet. We didn't really decide on which shop/centre to eat at. We only decided on the place. we went casuarina curry in the end, where the famous prata is. We didn't noe how to get there...so we juz took a bus that goes to upper thomson rd. we found ourselves half-lost. well, we found our way later, but only after a long walk did we reach casuarina.
There was a commotion at the door of casuarina curry. Apparently, according to jaey, a dog (bull terrier?) killed a cat and brought it to the door of casuarina curry before being chased away by people. The cat's carcass was left there. it was a horrid sight... i could see blood on the dog's mouth. its owner was holding on to it and was on the phone. ok...i dun really noe wad happened.... but after seeing the cat's injuries on the face n neck, i deduce that the cat was bitten to death by the dog =.= i shall save the details of the aftermath.
I ordered murtabak! the huge huge murtabak! it's "small", but the size of the murtabak was still huge. The rest ordered all sorts of pratas...cheese..egg...mushroom... then all sorts of drinks: tehtarik, icemilo, soursop, milo dino. I wonder how the person remembered. I think we were practically stuffing food down our throats at the end of the meal. the pratas were big... After eating was a session of photowhoring... lol... We took all sorts of lame photos together. nice dinner? Where's the nex place? before steamboat at least =)
