Jia Jin and I met somewhere near the Chinese Temple and cycled up towards the Police Post to meet Shi Chang. This would be my very first night cycling trip and i was ratehr nervous cause everything was rather dark and the moonlight was not bright enough to light up most of the pathway which did not receive the street lamps light. Shi Chang led the way as he knew the route to Changi Beach. We cycled pass TPJC, the ESSO, and was following the route of bus service 19. The uphill was a great workout for JJ and SC as i had an advantage of changing my bike gears to make going uphill easier HEHE ^^

Then we pass by this 'ulu' place where it overlooks the most pitch black and dark atmosphere and just by looking at it would give you the creeps :/ We, well except SC, couldn't really concentrate on cycling due to the deep dark distraction. For some reason, i decided to adjust my gears and found them rather loose. I couldn't cycle straight and i crashed to the green railings beside me.

The bicycle stopped too fast and the momentum caused me to fly of the bike head first and ended up doing a forward roll on the rough cycling track. My arms took most of the blow and i could hear my elbow crack. I couldn't bear to open my eyes to observe my injuries. My forehead bled and i had a nasty cut across my right arm. And it seems like my legs had an even larger scratch due to a stone which now lay on the track painted with my blood.

Just to let you know that the above paragraph you just read was total nonsense and unrealistic imagination which did not happen to me after i crash on the railings haha! just wanted to try writing a pitiful paragraph lol.. Here's wat happen: i got a small cut on my left little toe, that's all. HAHA just put a plaster can le..

we reached Changi Beach and sat there enjoying the sea breeze and potato chips SC brought. The salty breeze was never ending and we started to feel cold after being exposed to the chilly wind for 30 mins. Then we took off and headed back to Tampines. Halfway, my bike's handlebars felt loose and i couldn't steer properly. Should have brought a spanner. SC offered to exchange bikes as he had rode on bikes worse than my bike's present condition. Thnks a lot SC! His bike was bery nice to ride on HAHA.. alright after a few metres, we returned each others bike and surprisingly, my bike was fixed. SC has magic hands.

went home safely! had a great time on my night cycling expedition haha :D
