I slept in late and woke up late today, and stayed awake for a few more hours and fell asleep again. The weather was especially nice today, I so blame the wind for making me so sleepy.
Woke up and got ready, to go over to the Botanical Gardens to meet Huiqi and Amanda, the camera called Canon 400D, which is Weijie's top love, so he had to come down with me to "protect" and accompany IT. Well, good job Canon 400D! You made my lighting pictures at night look better than what normal cameras would usually produce. So four of us went around in the dark, taking pictures of the different types of luminaires. There wasn't much to take anyway, firstly because it was really dark, secondly, cameras failed us because IT IS too dark and faraway.
Today was one of those rare days that I decided to sit down and study for the Common Tests next week. Oh, not forgetting to mention that it was a little too late, about say 9.30pm? Once I got back from Botanical Gardens, I went straight to Macdonald's and bought myself a meal. I looked like a hungry ghost with the upsized meal and a container of fried noodles in front of me (takeaway from Weijie's home). I felt full somehow or rather, when I didn't eat much during the day. I took out the book and put it beside me. Obviously, the pace of my mouth moving compared to my eyes shifting on the words, was much faster. So in simpler terms, I was eating more than I was reading. All I needed was to read the first few sentences of IBT, and I was knocked out already. My eyes suddenly felt like there was a magnetic force pulling the two eyelids downwards. I am damn sleepy, till now.
Not even 10minutes past my reading time, I was disturbed by a highly irritating thing. I was totally pissed off. He kept attacking me and my food, and he still kept coming near me even when I tried to frighten him off by smacking him. BLOODY HOUSEFLY. Made me look stupid and made me lose the mood to study. Ok, I just assumed that IT was a HE. I couldn't stand the nuisance, so I just went home, and VIOLA! I'm here blogging.
I am so damn dead, because although I opened the book for IBT, I'm not even 1% there yet. I'm seriously brutally honest, why would I lie. Dumb. I'm getting really jumpy and scared for the upcoming Common Tests. I BLAME ONLINE SHOPPING. It's a bad bad addiction.

♥Cycling Club at East Coast
I had fun
cycling from East Coast to Changi Village with the newly-joined club.
Amanda, Huiqi, Huinan, Jermaine and I met in school early in the morning, just to take the
prepared shuttle bus to East Coast. We waited several minutes just for those few people to come. We were getting all complainy, that we were hungry and tired of waiting, because we couldn't wait to cycle and lose those calories!
The bus ride there was pretty quick, and soon enough we were there at East Coast. We went to find Shuling, Eames, and Jon there, and waited around some more. We noticed that there was like a
ratio of 1:10 girls, including us. That's pathetic! Got our bikes and we set off.
There we go, and
I was chewing Eames's offered chewing gum, okay lah, I actually snatched it from Amanda. So as I cycle, I chew chew chew, the more I chew, the more tired I grew. Then I finally spitted it out, while Amanda's slipper slipped off her feet. I tell you, she damn clever. She stopped as if there was no such thing called a brake, instead use her own barefeet. HAHAHA. She then had the Gold-digger's feet again. When we continued,
I felt like I was getting tired, more of out of breath. I was like, HUH, am I so weak, has my stamina really dropped that much? I had to get off the bike, sit down on the grass patch, and drink my isotonic drink. And guess what,
we were still in East Coast Park. I really couldn't believe myself. Shuling, Jon, Eames they all stopped by, even the Cycling Club's Vice-chairman thought I couldn't make it already. Just as I recovered from that, I got up to continue the journey. I thought about it, and realised it must have been the chewing gum that killed me. But they say it's because I chiong,
I SWEAR, I didn't chiong.
I pedalled at normal pace, and didn't feel at least tired. I was moving fast because
my gear was on 3. Soon after, I actually
caught up all the way to the front with the guys. WOOHOO. We were on the endless road at Changi airport by then. When I turned back, the rest were quite far away, because the whole bunch of us were cycling together, and I had no idea who they were. Not bad,
I made friends. But the only things they said to me were, "Wah, sia lah, you cycle damn fast sia", "How come you only girl here", "Not bad for a girl huh". However, I didn't even get to know their names, neither did they ask for my name. They started racing ahead of me, by pedalling really really fast, but too bad for you suckers, I caught up with you guys without a drop of sweat.
Slow and steady wins the race! So moral of the story,
GIRLS ARE BETTER AT ENDURANCE AND PERSERVERANCE.
I was damn proud of myself when we reached Changi Village, but in the end we still had to wait for the rest. I was tomato-faced, but I was really seriously honestly damn happy, it's as if I finished a big race. Hahaha. When more of them arrive, we went ahead to buy
sugar cane to quench our thirst. It's like sooooo good like being in heaven. Sugar Cane is love. Love is sugar cane.(sounds familiar? Geraldina?) Hahaha. The guys asked me to join them in the group2 then chiong back together, I was like huh, I want to be with my friends. See, I am so loyal.
So we decided to take our bikes and cycle back towards East Coast Park. We went really slow at first, but I decided to speed up ahead because I wanted to faster get back to East Coast. This time I really damn action, because I wanted to race with the guys I was moving along with initially. Turn out we started doing what the cyclists always do,
cutting wind resistance with formations. So we took turns, so damn bloody tiring to be the front person. So whenever there was
anyone in front, we would just stay near behind him to cut wind. HAHAHA. So funny. I talked alot to that particular guy but I never got his name, only know he's from Business Studies.
DUDE, wherever you are, GREAT TO HAVE KNOWN YOU. On the way back, I started feeling my muscles getting tensed, so this resulted to me
getting leg muscle cramps like 4-5 times each, when I had to stop and tip-toe.
DAMN BLOODY PAIN, CRAMPS TOTALLY SUCKS. Thanks to the two first-aid person for being present there with me all the time even when I tried to shoo you guys away, and of course QinJie and Amanda the fatty for supporting and accompanying me. So from first, I got to LAST. How cool is that!!! COOL BEANS. But really man, I felt like I shedded like millions of calories. I felt even better when I heard we cycled about
42km in total.
Shed so much also no use, we had
lunch at the Korean Restaurant above the Bicycle Rental Shop. The rest insisted on having a buffet that only allows free flow of BBQ pork and chicken, but no beef. But because I wanted to save money, and not spend so much, the few of us sat at another table and just ordered our Beef Bibimbap. I felt full anyway, because we were served the many appetizers, and even desserts after our main course! All for a lunch special of $9.90! Good buy huh. So I didn't regret not eating the lunch buffet which costs 30bucks per pax.
I found a faster bus to get home, which saved me alot of time.
Exhausted, I plonked on the couch once I reached home.
