Cycling Photolog - Black & White Series

Here's an entry specially dedicated to a new photolog album in creation
Its titled is termed as "Black & White Series"

Photos will come in the form of my handphone SE-C701
and my Canon IXUS 95

And it will kick-start off with the cycling trip to Upper Pierce Reservoir
Just some simple pictures here and there
Feeling kinda inspired lately to do more
=)

So here we go!


Stuff I take along on cycling trips (umbrella not included)

10km down and I reached Singapore 1st ever official racetrack
off Upper Thomson Road...


The Devil's Bend

Kinda wicked name. I like it a lot
Some ppl called it " The Snake Bend "
Drove passed here before
Road width just enough for 2 cars
Killer corners and sick S-turns
Can you imagine with our orange grainy street lights,
Molotov cocktails lighting up the sides, coloured flares,
screaming rowdy audience looking for crashes, and the
sound of engine thundering down the tracks...

Japanese modified cars, European models, superbikes
Side by side...
Steel on steel...
Competition...
Cash prizes...
Street racing definitely better than F1

Sad to say
Last year some 19-20 yrs old died here
They missed the corner and went down the roadside
And its a long way down seriously...

Left turn deep into the tracks and reached the entrance of
the Upper Pierce Reservoir...


Long, fast and easy way down
Difficult, tiring, slow slope to climb back up

The sights and sounds inside
In black and white of course
Sorry to discount off their original beauty with colours...


This patch of flowers comes in 3 different colours
Red, purple & orange

Standing at one side
Looking across...


This way to Lower Pierce Reservoir
Awesome backdrop of Singapore HDB behind
(not in this shot though)

Resting by the hot roadside...


The water beckons


And the extension from an inaccessible place

Travelling with the bike...



See the HDB behind in the far distance?

And our ancestors which scientists say we have no link to...

猴子猴孙

And the young boy who doesnt listen his dad
Courting trouble to say the very least...

Asking for it

This picture reminds me of the actual scene
Whereby the boy stood there
While the Dad was already in front
Then the boy choose to go harass the monkey
Bad decision Ah Boy ar!

Luckily the Dad came and took the boy away
If not the 10-20 monkeys (not kidding) behind
will come and scratch his face
Then 一切就不完美 for him

Which brings me to the point
Whereby kids should listen to parents
But adults like us parents still tell you this and that
Sometimes parents don't realised they are in the wrong too
Nobody is perfect
But someone told me that based on this sentence
You have no right to rebuke them
" 他们把你养大的。。。 "
Hmmm...

So signing off...

Till the next time...

20.86km this time in 1.5 hour

Total distance of 47.82km clocked so far

I love my bike

Check this out
Incredible pictures!


The human body can be programmed by the brain
It can be engineered to do more
Achieve results which you aimed for

Fight the lactic acid
Increase the tolerance level
No pain no gain...
