Night Cycling!
HELLLOOOOOO EVERYBODY! =DSorry that this post only came on Sunday BUTTTT seriously, hall life has been awesomely wonderful (: My life becomes normal when I'm back at home.
Before I blog about Culture night, I'm going to blog about Night Cycling! =D Cos it was SOOOOO much fun!
It was actually drizzling before night cycling began and some of us were really quite afraid that it would be cancelled. We were afraid that it would either be cancelled or we wouldn't have as much fun as we could have. But neither scenario happened actually (:
Briefing started a little later than expected but it was okay cos that gave us time to .... CAMWHORE! HAHA! Before we even left KR, we were already spamming photos with the poor camera, heee! We were camwhoring everywhere we went, okay except when we were choosing bikes.
So off A block went, signalling the start of night cycling! We were lucky that the rain had stopped! The first half an hour or so of the journey was a little tough cos everyone was trying to get used to their bicycles, plus the road was a little wet from the rain still, and we were at Clementi Road which meant that there was a lot of uphills to cycle. But the uphills meant that there was a downhill to look forward too, so it was quite shiok! =D Eh, but scary too, cos it was a busy time at the roads =X
Anyway, not long after, we arrived at the first pit stop which was a makan place! Don't really know where it was but I know it was opposite Beauty World Centre. HAHA, I only noticed that it was opposite Beauty World cos we kept singing songs at the bus stop which was opposite it. Anyway, I think A block was damn blessed and lucky to be the first block to flag off cos didn't have to fight with the other blocks for seats =P Heh! And as usual, once we sat down and ordered, we... CAMWHORE! I guess the one of the main reasons why we camwhore so much cos A block has our own A block photocomm HAHA. And the chairperson of the A Blk photocomm has a DSLR ;) Haha. As we were about to leave with a happy stomach, it started to rain! =/ Actually, come to think of it, it was a good thing that it rained before we left. But anyway, so we all took shelter at the bus stop opposite Beauty World where we started our A block night singing! Hahaha, I swear we were damn retarded! We keep singing the alphabet song with the word "Papaya", "Tomato" and "Potato"! Hahaha! By right, the rain should have dampened our mood and spirits. But it didn't. I think we had more fun and laughter because of the rain.. Did I mention that we were so high that we took pictures with the CISCO police before we set off? HAHA!
When the rain finally stopped, we set off to our next station. But this time, Audrey and I decided to take the tandem bike together instead of the individual bike. Everyone was laughing at us cos they said it would be very hiong for two girls but HA HA, we cycled perfectly well! In fact, I thought we could cycle faster with the tandem bike. We cycled so well that we could even HTHT on the bikes -.- HAHA! And as we were cycling, we started singing. All the hits singalong song came out. I think it started with me just singing Taylor Swift's You belong to me really badly. Then my neighbour started to join in, and soon after, everyone just started to sing along. Maybe it was our bad singing, cos it started to rain again! And we had to seek shelter at a petrol kiosk. While we were waiting for the rain to subside a little, we camwhored again! ;) Cos you see, it is a little hard to camwhore when you are cycling eh? HAHA. I thought one of the best part of night cycling came when we were asking the A blkers if they wanted to continue cycling in the rain or wait for the rain to stop before continuing. And everyone's answer, and I mean everyone, was "CONTINUE MAN!" It was such an awesome feeling, to see the block so united and so undeterred by the rain. The rain couldn't stop us from having our fun. And so after a 10 mins break at the petrol kiosk, we continued our way into the night, with more cycling and singing (:
After 2 hours, Clara and Shermaine led us to this random building for a rest. The only reason why I mentioned that it was 2 hrs cos we were told that we had been cycling for 2 hrs since the last pit stop. And everyone was quite shocked by that face cos it really didn't feel like it had been 2 hrs, it felt more like 30 mins instead. HAHA. That was how much fun we were having in the rain man (: And the best part was that, there was prbly not a single time in the journey where we heard anyone complaining or not having fun. It was like, A block was on drugs man! We were highhh on each other's presence (and singing)! HEH! At this pit stop, we had a major major camwhoring session! Haha and a stupid thing happened to me, the FYFs were taking their FYFs photos and I started crying -.- Cos there were so many FYFs in our block and many of them were seniors whom really play and bond with us damn well. Just the thought of them leaving actually made me cry =/ AWWW. Anyway then we were off. Next stop, SINGAPORE FLYER!
I swear this is one of the most beautiful pit stop! Right under Singapore Flyer, on the F1 racetrack. And like I said, A block is really really blessed to be the first block to set off. Cos we had the whole place to ourselves to camwhore and sing before B block came! HAHA. We camwhored under the beautiful singapore flyer, we sang by the "river", this is the life man (: Then we had tau huey and youtiao. And the tau huey was still warm, damn impressive! Haha! It was already 4ish in the morning by this time, and still, all of us were on a high! (: I swear, it's something about singing that can really bond people and keep the spirits high. Imagine all of us, including girls!, were soaked and wet, wearing wet squishy socks and feeling cold from the weather, but yet, still high, energetic and enjoying each other's company. That's what I call KR spirit shown in A block (: It was so heartwarming..
The next pit stop was really nice too, one of my favourite place in singapore. The Tanjong Rhu Bridge thing behind National Stadium. And the best part of that place was that the bridge has an "A" structure. And the weather was soooo awesome! Cool breeze + great company = camwhore!!!!! HAHA! By this time, we were running out of songs to sing and hence, we had to switch to Chinese and emo songs. HAHA! Shortly after the other blocks came, we left for our final destination, ECP! Which was not too far away! We reached ECP at about 530am, which was way before the scheduled time.
Ate Macs together before we finally left (:
Night Cycling o9 was really one of the best nights I had in KR. Easily, my favouritest night (: The spirit, love, unity shown during night cycling was simply beyond what words can describe. It's really not what you do, but who you do it with. And I'm glad it's with A block, and in KR that I do it with (:
