LSCT Night Cycling



So after the very unforgettable Thursday night...
=)

I attended my first night cycling trip organized by LSCT

All shagged out and tired from work
We proceed down to Ngee Ann to gather at the Atrium

As the lights were closed out...
Suddenly most of us felt really damn sleepy
Espescially Jolyn
Only Richard was the Energizer Bunny around!

Oh ya. It was the 2nd Friday of the week
And it is always the best Friday of the week!
The Atrium has this nice ATM there btw...
=)


So we got our bikes, helmets, shirts, and rear lights
Then we proceed to prepare for the long ride

Marshalls in yellow

Brotherly love?

United fans also brothers for life!

Glory glory glory Man United~


A group pic before we set off

OK another one~

And while we were taking photographs
I think that the organiser was giving a briefing for
everyone that is a participant
Except the Year 3 group of us

I didnt know why we didnt attend the briefing also
Only realised that we missed the entire thing
while we were filling in our indemnity forms

But Ming Cheng just gave us another slipshod version of it...
I guess it's the same?
LOL

So here are the cyclists for the night...

Ming Cheng

Chong Yee

Chew Hua

Soon Teck

Richard (Has this weird expression though)

Me!

So all set and ready to go for the LONG LONG ride
from 11pm till 6am

Single file for extra safety

And it felt damn chilly to ride out into the night as
we leave the main gates of Ngee Ann
Particularly cold indeed

And we made our way past the all-time favourite...

KAP MacDonald

And we cyclists manage to get 1 lane indeed

So it was a burden-istic ride up Clementi Road
Super duper uphill
Very taxing on the legs
And it still feels cold indeed...
Brr~

We made our way as a convoy to our first pit stop
Somewhere along Holland Road
Right after we passed Holland V
A Ferrari F430 was just beside me
I swear I can just reach out my hand and touch it
as we were stationary there waiting for the red light

So after 1+ hour
We reached our first pit stop

Esso Petrol Station?

Still regretting not buying any food from there

Aiya Chong Yee! If got bring the rations from our cubicle
and the Uncle Toby can already right?
Tsktsk~

Marshalls gathering to get feedback

So after re-fueling up and doing some stretching
Off we proceed to our next stop
Which is Orchard Road

Damn. No food!
=(

And as we moved on from Holland Road to Orchard Road
Its a very close distance ride on the bus btw

Richard noticed that our safety car was not following us
Richard was the last man btw
So he was kinda angsty...

Thus he looked like this
The middle finger was pointing already

Haha. Damn fierce!!!

This is Soon Teck on his personal bike btw

Oh man. Soon Teck got a 7-gear bike for 200+ bucks
Thats a damn steal of a bargain!

And we found our Honda Civic!

So cycle cycle cycle cycle we did
Pass Tanglin...pass Forum....pass Soon Teck's sis shop
(selling nice dresses for missy!)...pass Orchard Towers....
(selling nice meat for men!)....pass Ngee Ann City and Taka

Its so shiok to just ride through town in the middle of the night
I mean...how many of us can claim to do so?
=p

And the concrete pavement is quite good to cycle too!

Near Cine - Opposite the Balcony

ERP at night is closed
Oops sorry not funny....
Brr~
>.<

The Grand Cathay!

Haha. Its always so damn funny when the A01 guys
decide where to go for a movie after school
THE CATHAY for extra emphasis to
differentiate between the Cine one and this one

Oh ya, some peeps were doing biking stunts there
Actually quite pro la
Until some parts whereby you can hear animals screaming
And some stupid dumb stuff which only certain kind of ppl
would try to initiate or even do

Pure idioticity indeed
Go build HDBs please
Sickening pricks~

And we got some energy food from the 7-11 there
Another idiotic act by that group of ppl
But its ok
Cuz we realised that the Feb issue of Men's Health is out
And Chew Hua is not on the cover
Oh oh!
=p

After that, we rode to the Singapore Flyer
Yet another long distance ride
Pass Suntec and the Fountain of Wealth
And someone's chain dropped out
My regards to you seriously
No luck

Then finally saw the F1 pit building!
Kinda useless now
Haha. Can turn into chalet or what
Earn profits until Sep?

Marina Bay night scene

The suspended flyer =(

The prices

Food again!

Quite easily hungry as you cycle for a long period of time

So we rest up a while before moving off
Richard gathered all of us and told us a ghost story
Which I missed out totally due to going to the loo
And Dr Koh interupted him before he could finish

And we moved on to Tanjong Pagar
To the Central District - pass Chinatown and etc
We were stopping at this area
Whereby there's a kerb and a drain there
Besides the drain was this bush of vegetation
As I braked and look up
I saw a bike down on the ground
And someone climbing out of the bush!

Horrors of all horrors!
*gasps*

Actually the fact was someone missed the
kerb and stepped on the intersecting drain hole
And fell into the bushes!

LOL! Damn funny when Soon Teck told me
Both of us laughed our ass off
Till this day somemore
Shit man! Bad karma!
Maxwell Food Centre

And Richard carry on his ghost story there
But only Chew Hua was listening
The rest of us were looking at this porridge stall
Which a lot of ppl were queueing
I mean you never know porridge look really
good at night, at 3am somemore

And then a couple of gays came along
Hug waist hold hands plus take 自恋-photos
Damn. That makes me feel more sleepy
Thought I was hallucinating already....
Bad for my eyes....
=/

So after Maxwell, we rode a damn dangerous ride back
to Newton circus
Crazy stuff at Goodwood Park there
The girl in front of me nearly got banged by this Merz cab
Crazily fast and she didnt realised it
The Merz cab e-braked and I thought it nearly hit her lah!
Like WTF?
Not good for the heart also

And Chew Hua missed this stupid red light
Which I told her to stop
But she moved off
Then she cycled upslope
But she couldnt stop as her legs were too short to reach the ground
So she yelled and cycled off clumsily
HAHA! Joke of the day like wtfpawnz hands down
Soon Teck and I are still laughing at her don't worry
=)

Along the way...
We saw a gang of Evolutions
Totally is zhengmycar.com.sg can?
One car has like 10 gauges
Like measure or read what info?
Too much money dono where to spend

And a lot of high-end cars powered their way
onto the roads late at night
Just a trip alone and we also saw the latest Nissan Skyline

And oh ya!
Not forgetting the event of the night!

One angmoh in the taxi open his door
Asked what we were doing at the traffic light
We replied and say we were doing night cycling

Then he say something like: "Cycle for what?"
After which he CLIMBED OUT of the taxi!
Stumbled onto the floor
Trying to grab us

Sign of drunkness
Nevermind that ok?

At Double O there
We met him again

He RAN ACROSS THE STREET
ARMS WAVING
SHOUTING AT SOON TECK
I WANT YOUR BIKE!
I WANT YOUR BIKE!
I WANT YOUR BIKE!

Oh man. What happen next is legendary stuff ok?

Soon Teck would love me for this!!
=)

Soon Teck hunched his back down
Streamlined his body
Accelerated
Kick up a gear (I heard the click sound as I was behind)
And did a F1 Lewis Hamilton speed up

*insert Soon Teck upgear sound effect for better quality*

OMG!
Ownage!
L-E-G-E-N-D!

Salute leh! My idol!

He escaped the evil claws of the angmoh
by a mere half-a-hair on the arm

I mean....
This is crazy leh!
If the angmoh got him...
He would have fallen and seriously hurt himself

But the angmoh skidded on his shoes
And banged into this stationary car

Richard did the Ah-Beng thing (he was beside me)
And rode like half-a-handlebar length beside him
And "OI" so loudly the angmoh spinned 1 round
Haha. Legend stuff again
*bow down*

These are stuff we talk about for years to come man!

Had a good roti-john at Newton and rode back to Ngee Ann
By then it was close to 6
74 was already in operation
I just want to dump the bike on the ground
Then climb onto the 74 and go home
You never know how far it is from Dunearn to Ngee Ann lo
Plus with the Roti John slowly digesting in my stomach
I like closed my eyes for a while
and noticed my bike started drifting into the 2nd lane
Dangerous I would say
Freaking tired!!!
Shagged out

But as we passed the gates of Ngee Ann
Doing the Tour de France winning posture

*clenches fist and pointing to the crowd*
no crowd anyway
=/

is pure joy and relief!
Woohoo~

A taxi trip back with Richard and a Big Breakfast treat
Wah! Shiok!
Shagged out #2

Its really a very fun and enriching experience!
(into report writing mentality already!)

And did I mention?
I went for dragonboat training in the evening
Nearly cramped up on the boat
Haha. Jackson is killing us with each training

But the team bonding feel is really great!
Words just cant describe that feeling
plus knowing ppl and extending contacts
to even the offsite and SS levels
Cool stuff!
=)
