i'm back from my solo ridei didn't really have a particular place in mind.
i don't think anyone really knows,
but i love to go to yishun dam
though i hardly go there now
and i don't think anyone is willing enough to go all the way there with me
anyway,
i've always wanted to figure out how to go about getting there on my own
so that's the goal i had in mind tonight.
rode over to the petrol station to fill elijah up with gas
then rode to ang mo kio, yio chu kang and yishun
turned right at the first junction and straight on towards the dam.
i realized a few things.
1) yishun dam is 15/16 click away from hougang
2) i am damn hum ji (coward)
3) it is faster to get to yishun dam by smaller roads than expressways
i shall now explain point 2.
my original plan was to stop at yishun dam for awhile to slack and enjoy the atmosphere
maybe take some pictures as well
thinking that it was around 1+am on a monday nobody would be there
but when i got there there were quite a few groups of mats/bengs
so it seemed kinda intimidating for me, being alone, to park my bike at an empty space and sit there by myself
i think if i were more emo/upset i wouldn't have cared
but me being conscious of my surroundings felt abit out of place and loner
so i rode to the end, u-turned and rode out.
was kinda worried it might rain so i decided to head home.
i decided to take a different route home to see which way was nearer.
so i took the sle/cte
turns out going by the expressway was slightly longer than the amk/yck/yishun route.
viola, point 3!
a few days ago a friend what was the fastest i travelled on my sp
the answer being 120km/hr.
it occured to me that i hadn't gone that fast for some time
so while on the sle/cte i attempted to travel at 120.
but once i hit 110 i started to feel abit worried what with elijah starting to vibrate
kept contemplating in my head whether i should stay at 110 or go up to 120
the road was pretty empty at the time.
deliberated for pretty long and by the time i managed to pick up the guts to go 120,
there were a few cars in front and i decided it was too risky to try 120 in case one of them should swerve into my lane.
so therefore, another reason to reinforce point 2.
hum ji!!!!

so that's all for my mini adventure tonight.
i realize i'm actually quite confident when riding alone at night
i feel calm and relaxed.
yet i'm a bag of nerves when i'm following friends while riding in the day.
gotta start training on riding in the day.
one of my ssdc friends who i passed my tp together with msged me on msn today
and she was telling me that i was making her feel excited that 5th dec is coming soon
what with the daily countdown i make on my nick.
we were happily talking about wanting to chiong 2a and pass before ssdc moves to woodlands
when we realized we had a problem.
both of us aren't really all that confident parking at ssdc's bike lots.
ssdc's bike lots are always full and the space constraint makes it damn squeezy
so unless you're a pro in parking,
even if you have no problems getting in the lot
you may still have problem getting out.
even worse when you're taking a long time and someone is waiting patiently or impatiently for you.
so we're contemplating parking at the stadium opposite instead
heh
=X
oh wells,
we'll figure that problem out when the time comes.
time for me to wash my face
and head to bed
my eyes are dry from the tears and not using my visor at all the entire time i was riding
goodnight~*
p/s: as silly as it seems, i still believe in the jinx. the 2 subsequent times we met after i told my friend we were doing good, we quarreled when we hadn't quarreled for quite some time. sad. :(
