mid dec
11th dec: back to normal life. after a stunning day at Ritz, i met up with rayner again. went cycling at east coast. enjoyed the breeze and he told me more about the job. as i cycled slowly, i felt that my body has slowly become accustomed to the bikes and it was easy pedalling. riding along the roads, it was nice thinking that i have great friends to cycle with, cycling companions, not for that matter: they are friends for life. We now have a name, though unofficial, but it's called TEAM NITROX, consisting of 10 people: charles, xun, rayner, junkai, amos, alvin, alson, ryan, aaron and me. the highest number of people we had cycling together was 7, and we aim to break it. i'm glad i took on cycling as i really find meaning in my life. it links me to many of the favourite things i like to do. cheap, keep fit, the logic and rationale to upkeep such a hobby is all present. really wonder the days before where i used to squander my money away on games... although i've made great buddies, but the amount of time and money wasted is incomparable. fortunately, sense has driven into my head and finally i've quit the addiction of lan gaming. perhaps i could have spent my time more meaningfully, but if i had done so, i wouldn't have become what i am today and have 2 great group of pals now. no point in looking back thinking that it could be changed, why not see the good part of what it has moulded me into? all actions will constitute yourself and how people perceive you to be, so live with it. why oppose the flow when you can follow nature's cycle fluidly? hmmz.. such philosophies just leaves me to ponder and i shouldn't say much with my lowly opinion. it will be endless, so let's just live and experience! =)
12th & 13th dec: went to dhouby ghaut in the afternoon just to see my bro perform! i don't really like church, but anyway, it's kaisheng's day and i'm here to support him =) at service, he was shaky initially, but when he got into the rhythm, everyone just worshipped according to his beat, and i could really sense his emotions when i close my eyes. such fiery passion, will i ever put faith into a religion?? well, after that, i met kumar at plaza sing and we walked all the way to HMV, passing by orchard plaza in which he brought me into. there was this automatic escalator which surprised me, cool sia! but he said it was a red light district kinda place, and yupz, the feeling i get was around there. we then walk back to plaza sing to eat with liane, kaisheng and their church friends. after that, he went home whereas i went to alvin's house to get ready for the job.
We went to 168 for coffee to keep us awake throughout the night, and we went NIGHT CYCLING AGAIN!! yay! so fun!! rayner, alson and i went cycling and took pics like lying on the road. we then went to eastcoast and cycled like we own the entire stretch of road. the peace of the night was definitely sweet to the ears and delightful to be in. at 4am, we cycled back to wake the rest up. 6 of us: rayner, amos, alvin, alson, ryan and me. rayner and i took the bike, and we raced down the streets of bedok throughout the night whereas the rest took a van. we watched alvin, alson and amos cleaning and it was rather dumb standing at one side doing nothing. but chasing the van sapped my energy and we didn't manage to keep up with them for some stops. although the job was rather cheapskate, but it was the fun that we were planning for and we sure did enjoyed it. after everything finished at 6.30am, rayner and i went back to his house first and the rest to alvin's house. i watched afew episodes of naruto before going down for a swim with everyone at bedok court's swimming pool. we played water polo for awhile and i had to leave for school. we sat in the sauna for 5mins before washing up. damn shiok, because haven't been into one for quite a long time. a pity there's no jacuzzi. heez =)
went to school for dance, but i slept on the sofa. oh, very malu! loL!~ everyone else dancing i sleeping. but anyway, kumar, liane, fifi and me went to TM to eat. i didn't makan because of insufficient funds and didn't join them for the movie too. I had to meet glenn, dar and xun at bugis which i eventually did after they went into the cinema. we met up at bras basar complex and sure did we have lots to talk about. haven't seen them for a very long time (to me that is) and we just chatted as we walked. glenn bought a guitar at $50, what a rip off! good for him though... after partially scouring the area of bugis, we all headed for home and no surprise that i died upon instant sight of my bed.
14th dec: went to school with the intention of doing homework and jamming when bored. but i only moved the pen for like less than 10 mins and was gyrating my wrist up and down most of the time. why couldn't it be the other way round? or am i just asking the obvious? loL!~ anyway, i met up with dar and glenn to go to queensway to accompany glenn to buy shoes and dar, socks. we walked for afew hours and glenn settled on a pair of adidas shoes and one $9 t-shirt whereas dar bought one formal long-sleeve shirt and one normal t-shirt. was envious of them buying at will as i didn't have money to splurge on myself. my excess money would usually go into gifts for others in exchange for their smiles. i don't dig self indulgence but i think smiles are worth 10 times more, hence i could only lay back in envy. =) well, we went to eat after that at a hawker centre and boy did i had a feast! laksa, mixed vegetable rice, peanut soup with balls and sugercane juice. we then took a long 1hr 196 bus ride to marine parade, where they both alighted, and i got down at bedok interchange and took the mrt home.
