Life is about living it to the fullest. Let me tell you this, you haven't lived your life till you wake up and see it empty.

title : The beginning to the end (Cycling n Chalet)
Wow it's been almost a week since I have blogged. Today will be an exceptionally long post. Gonna be from the very beginning when I left the house till the time I return. Loads of pics will also be included. =D

Day 1 : 1215 - 1430

I left my place at 12.15 which just started raining real heavily but I didn't want to leave any later or else I maybe late. Wore my windbreaker and left in the heavy rain. I took the usual route to ECP which in normal dry weather would only take me 1 hour. However today was exceptional, it was really pouring down and lightning started to appear. So I had to seek shelter at an underpass at the expressway. Thank god I waited because it got heavier and thunderstorms were really booming loud. Waited around an hour and it stopped lightning so I took my chance and continued. I wasn't fully drenched however my face was already spitting water out of my mouth every 50m. People thought I was like some kind of homeless person cycling in the rain. After a treacherous journey which could have almost ended my life with being struck down my lightning, I arrived at ECP and the clouds were starting to clear showing the clear blue sky.

Day 1 : 1430 - 1700

I cycled to the chalet at the main entrance of the GoldKist Resort and started making phone calls and asking people where are they. Besides me, Samson reached around 2.35 so I met him and walked to the entrance. Called people again and asking where are they. So we stood at the bus stop near the entrance and just waited. About 10 mins, Victoria reached, so we went to find her and 10 mins after that Gaya and Diana arrived and I went to find Gao. So we all met back at the chalet main building and chit chat till the whole gang arrived at 4.30+. I asked them buy me something to eat so they bought me chee kuay. Thanks! It was nice. Went to our room which was quite big and had 2 beds. Unpack all our stuff and got ready for the cycling expedition. Gaya, Ping Ying, Diana and Shaun didn't want to go so they stayed in the room and watch tv, play murderer etc.

Day 1 : 1700 - 2330

So now it was 5pm and the cycling expedition had Me,Gao,CY,Vic,Sam,Ken and Jiaqi. They all went to rent bikes while me and gao waiting for them. After they came back, I gave a short briefing and took a before expedition photo. We set off for our little expedition. Made stops here and there and took nice pictures. They said it would take 2 hours but it seem to take 6 hours. Lol. It was getting dark at Sunplaza park and I told Gaya and Diana that if we were not back by 7+ they may leave, so I had to call them and ask them if they wanted to leave because we weren't gonna be back in time. Very sorry we ditched you guys =( It was 9+ when we arrived at Changi Village so I told them to go to the park first while I went to get new brakes cause mine had worn out and used my front wheel breaks which it's damn dangerous. Kept hitting my balls whenever I brake to hard. It really hurts! After I changed it they were lost. So I had to find them and gather all together again. Vic and Cy wanted to return the bikes and take a bus back but the shop at Changi close at 8pm so we were too late already. Had no choice, we took a break at Changi Village and they ate while Me,Sam and Gao just look over. At 1opm we left for 'home'. It was a beautiful night. Cool air, nice scenery, good company, it was just perfect. Reached back at 11.30 and most of us had big butt pains! Sitting on the bike for 6 hours what do you expect. 

Day 1: 2345 - 0130

At 11.45, Me and Gao were getting hungry so decided to go to the coffeeshop for a Dinner/Supper. Sam, Shaun and Jiaqi accompanied us. Gao couldn't wait and ordered his 'Just Peng Yong Gao Hor Fun' and I had Ikan Bilis Fried Rice. Ate and chat till 12.30 I think and decided to head back. Gao and me took a detour to 7-11 and bought beer and Mac for apple pie! Yum! Mac and apple haha! Ok lame. Went back and I took a nice hot shower.

Day 2: 0145-0400

Went to play cards, drank beer, played murderer and talk, laugh and joke. Samson had a sore throat. Make him sound soooo manly la. Damn funny keep asking him say sentences and keep making fun of him and ahem! Hehe. At 4am I decided to catch some shut eye but was still quite awake. 

Day 2: 0630 - 1100

Woke up by noises and just couldn't really go back to sleep so I woke up and took a stretch. Soon the rest woke up. Only me, Sam, Kenny, Shaun and PY slept. Woke up wanted to see sunrise at 7+ so I lied down but then I missed it! Anyway was cloudy so can't see much. Soon all got up and me and Sam lead CY to the Macs. Went there wanted to eat but CY had the breakfast vouchers for the buffet breakfast so me and Sam took it. Hehe. Had a damn hearty breakfast for a damn long time. Ate till I wanna burst. After the lovely breakfast and countless cups of orange juice I met Gao at the beach and walk and talk about live, love and anything under the sun literally. Haha. Details of the talk is too lengthy for this post =D Went back at 10am and chilled till 11am when we checked out.

Day 2: 1100 - 1730

I took off on my way home, this time it was scorching hot! Wearing slinglet I was still sweating! But I took it as a journey, though tired, I look at the sea and just enjoy the day. My mum called me see if I wanna go willing hearts and help for awhile so I decided what the heck go for awhile. Reached there around 1230 and help out. Took a short rest and followed Uncle Charlie take a fridge. I left the place roughly 4.30. I reach back I totally forgot my keys! and no one was home! Good combination. So what to do? Sit there and wait. Waiting till my mum came home.
