8th September 2007 (Overnight cycling)

So...

At 9pm, i was running around paya lebar mrt station trying to find the bus stop where bus 76 was available. Our destination? East coast. My destination? Find the bus stop so i could board the same bus as eileen! After a lot of staring at roads, squinting at bus numbers and so forth, i met eileen on the bus! WHOOT!

We had entertainment on the bus almost immediately.

*sms from kenneth* "With auston now, at macs"

Eileen was quite fast --> "AUSTIN POWERS AHHH??"

hahaha what the poor guy meant was that he was with ashton already!! Cute fella. Okay won't make fun of him anymore.

Right, so we walked to east coast park where we met up with the rest, 9 of us cyclists, and one inhumane american roller blader, a.k.a. BARAK!! He's ABSURDLY good on his blades!! -faint- Eileen was "THE MAN" at the rental shop. She managed to make a good bargain for us, which was 11 dollars per bike, inclusive of a complimentary bottle of plain water. Love the girl!! =)

So, off we were!!

-pant pant- Loisa's Thoughts: -->

Hmmm this isn't so bad, besides, the scenery is soo pretty! Chit chats to eileen. Watches barak on his rollerblades in awe. Glares at kenneth for cycling on the road; thus, his near death experiences with numerous cars. Failed attempt to kill jaden on his bike, although that was no fault of mine, since he told me to "SLOW DOWN!!"

Ahhh we've reached lau pa sa!! We cycled over benjamin shears bridge, and by the way, you may not want to attempt that anytime soon. *pats sore bottom* Ahh the food was SO expensive. As quoted by eileen, "I paid like $6 for a few strands of satay and one prawn. -_- " Hahahaha! *nods in total agreement*

So far so good, our stomachs were full, we had beautiful views all around us, so, back to east coast for us! The night was still young! It was around 1 plus in the morning! But guess what, we went back to east coast park, not to rest and enjoy the sea breeze, but to CARRY ON TO CHANGI! Okay, at that point of time it was quite exciting, but ahhh, haha it was then when all the sleepiness and delusional-ness and the aches started.

I was falling asleep so the way i cycled was quite well, dangerous. I would either cycle sideways or stop entirely, and without a "ahem" from jielong behind, i would probably have crashed into something or someone (probably jaden). Eileen suggested talking or singing to keep awake, so we sang sound of music songs, then we slowly gave up, due to

1) We simply no longer had any breath left
2) I was disappearing behind
3) IT STARTED TO RAIN!!!

Oh my goodness and DID IT RAIN!! The first time, it was drizzling, then it started to rain. We were soaked. Nevermind, rain had stopped. So we decided to rest at changi, and eat nasi lemak (which wasn't nice) and ta mee pok (which was way too spicy). By then i was dying, seiously. AND SO WAS STEPH CHAI AND JIELONG! So i wasn't the only one!! Hahaha, all three of us were dozing off at the table already. I didn't even know what i was eating. Eileen was quite nice to tolerant my half-non existence already. =)

Oh wait, i forgot to tell you HOW MUCH WE CYCLED JUST TO GET TO CHANGI!! It was... MILES!! Ashton said "5 more minutes" and 15 minutes later, it was STILL "5 more minutes". Haha slap!! Right so somehow, the outcast group was always jaden, jielong, steph chai and me. Bear in mind that again somehow, we always cycled a different route than the others, which ALSO means we cycled more -__-"

Right okay, we took a few pictures at the changi coffee shop, and proceeded backwards to east coast park again. SNOOORRREEE

Suddenly, LIGHTNING STRUCK. THUNDER BOOMED. THICK DROPLETS OF ACID RAIN PELTED DOWN ON THE LONE RIDERS OF THE NIGHT! Okay nah... in reality, in PAINFUL WET TIRING reality, lightning did strike, and there was a bit of thunder, but it drizzled. However, fearing for our lives (which are of extreme importance to us), we decided to take shelter in a small pavilion. We saw the sun rise, a little of it that is. When it became evident that the drizzle would not stop for a long time, we carried on with our cycling.

As per usual, i lagged somewhere at the back again. Was really zig zagging all over the place already. Kept losing my balance and was going around in circles. At one point of time, my vision went blurry. I was too tired i guess. Eileen was going strong. Well at first anyway haha (smiles)

IT WAS THEN, when the drizzle became... GIANT PAINFUL DROPLETS OF WATER. YIKES!!! Everyone started peddaling furiously, well as furiously as possible. We were cycling against the wind! I was frozen on my bike. Butt was dead, couldn't move at all, and my hands were stuck to the handle bar! Every car that passed us, splashed water on us. In fact, there was one long vehicle which SPED past us, and OH MY GOODNESS, he was going so fast that kenneth, eileen, jaden, jielong and me ALL swung to the left. It was as if the wheels were sucking us in, and to pull away, we had to swing. It was scary, i felt like i was being pulled by some invisible force or something. *shivers*

When we finally reached east coast park, eileen and me were seriously hysterical already. I was sneezing like nuts, we were both so cold, eileen's legs were stuck, i was pedalling for the sake of pedalling, even kenneth was on auto pilot already. Dead. Total deadness. The RAIN DOWNPOUR had no mercy on us. We were soaked, through and through. I took it as a sign that i was not meant to go for cell group. (Eileen and i are always unlucky. Everytime we need a change of clothes, we don't bring it. When we do bring, we don't need it!!)

In the end i did go for cell group, after a lot of borrowed items from people. Heh, thanks people!! Ashton lent me his shirt to change into, cause i was really shivering already, and i couldn't go to cell group looking like a drowned cat. Jaden lent me his sister's slippers (can't be his i think). Ahh so off to cell group i went!! =)

Oh on a side note, we waited in the cold for an hour to return our bikes, cause the shop man was an hour late!! *glares with loads of eye power*

Ahh this is from eileen too! It seems i'm quite ridiculously dumb in times of weariness. -.- -->

Ashton: Can you all take it?
Eileen: NO!!!!
Ashton: (directed to Loisa) Can you take it?
Loisa: Huh?
Ashton: Can you take it?
Loisa: Take what? Water? Oh, you can have some.
-Everyone faints-
Ashton: Errr, im thristy. -grabs some of her drink- Thanks.

Snort. Right okay long long sleepless day. Off to bed now. Good night! My legs had better be slimmer and my butt firmer (no not flater!!) after this intense cycling trip!!

3rd - 7th September 2007

This last week has been ridiculously ridiculous! We were told on monday that we were to be the first group to facilitate the group discussion on thursday, so it was a mad rush for the next few days. I had less than 8 hours of sleep for those three days!! No thanks to waking up at 5am to make medicine for someone with absolutely no blood relation to me!! ARGHH

Yep anyway, thursday went through smoothly, except that i forgot i had to open and introduce the group, til jonathan poked me to say i should start NOW, wah panick attack, in the end jane took over. Jane's a live saver!!

Right, so thursday, i reached home, and SMACK, into my bed. Head first of course. Got a bump but i didn't care, immediately proceeded to snoring my life away. Slept like a baby til friday, BUT I STILL HAD TO WAKE AT 5AM so, i had a good sleep, but not THAT great. Nutrition on friday, yada yada, then charles reminded us about the arranged overnight cycling that night.

I went into "HAH??" mode immediately. I had forgot all about it, because being the presumptious me, i conveniently thought it was off when no one responded to my suggestion of changing it to another date!! ROAR!!!

The end result was that jia zhen couldn't make it (cry) so eileen and i went ahead with it. Except that we would go later of course. -grin-

3rd September 2007

So anyway...

I found a mouse downstairs, it ran onto my shoe (YES ON TOP OF IT) and sat there, so I brought it home, and I've officially adopted it. Okay, illegally adopted it for my mum does not know about her. It's a her, by the way! =) Right I'll tell her when she gets home. I think she'll let me keep it since dad isn't home and it's so so sweet!!

Yep, that's all for now. No time to gush over the cute little twitching nose, the tiny paws that go pitter-patter pitter-patter on the marble flooring, the...
