PCN cycling trip
Yesterday was the test of mind over body. I had to wake up early in the morning 06 30 to work as a PE & English teacher. Zhen cong and I had an early lunch so that we could go off straight after school at 13 45 to ECP for a cycling trip with the 04S3A guys.
We arrived at around 14 50 and we thought we were the late ones, but it was the direct opposite! lol We soon met up with leslie, lim, low and zheng yu. Nonetheless, we were still nowhere far from our flag-off time.
The bike shop we patronised were doing some hard-selling, so much so that he's grabbing by my arms *roll-eyes when desparately giving us the 'choice' to choose the cheaper bike or his so-called new bike. After taking a look at our bike photos up-close (thanks to leslie =p), I finally found out the truth! LOLx
NEW~G~SPORTS a.k.a. 'New Bike'
*and what a sleazy name~ xP
We rode all the way out of ECP towards changi beach park using the PCN (park connector). The long, seemingly endless road was tiring us out with a couple of obstacles (road bumps, stones, uphills etc) hindering our smooth cycling.
Before flag-off~
Along the way, it rained. Zhen cong was rather paranoid about whether we could stick with the stipulated time planned or not, so he went to check out the map in the rain. Look how nOOb calmly is he trying to wear the poncho. hahaha Luckily it was just a light drizzle and it stopped rather fast.
Don't worry, zhen cong is not a 3 year-old kid, he won't get suffocated! =p
Zhen cong trying to see our route ahead... ...in the rain~

We stopped intermittently to take some nice shots... ...and zhen cong 'hitched' on a girl from NUS who was also on a cycling trip to changi village market for orientation. xD Also, I met kee meng in the same orientation; we even asked him to help us take a photo for us~
Nice secluded beach =)
But a head turn and it became like this!! =O
The ugly side of SINGAPOREANS!!!
Fun shot at the shore~

Cool shot with SIA plane at the top!
*Who's that zai photographer? lol
Zhen cong was at the brink of falling off the 'cliff'!
Terrorists' new way of hijacking commercial airplanes?
Soon, we reached our destination for dinner; and we were on time. We had nasi lemak at $3; quite a reasonable price. After appreciating the picturesque view and lots of photo-taking, we headed back to where we had started. By then it was about 18 20...
Zhen cong strongly requested us to take this photo~ haha
The picture says it all~
New couple in our class?! xD
Venice in Singapore.
The return journey was even more tiresome. We interviewed some of our 'cycling club members' (that's what a stranger thought of us) on this inaugural cycling adventure on videos! lol (videos will be given on demand =])
Route to Mordor?
Can give the bike uncle this photo as his advertisement for his 'NEW BIKE'! xD
Riding off without me~~~
Still didn't find the perfect settings for night-time shots.
We reached the bike shop slightly before 21 00. Supper was some market near marine parade; after our wash-up at macs.
The shagged.
The bus ride was snooze-inducing. I slept the entire journey. Got back home at around 23 00 and I nearly gave up waking up for school today! lolx
