//Mandai Zoo

Today visited Mandai Zoo. realli a gud experience. well, very different experience. cox normally people take bus/car/sch bus go to mandai zoo, but we went on 2 wheels! on our bikes! wow....so fun. abit of sarcasm in dat statement. it was a journey with fun, laughter, mixed with pain and bitterness. seriously, let me tell you why.

immediately after we got home from sch, mi n wr met at e playground outside my house. so we cycled all the way to glenn's house to meet glenn and wp. on the way i was tryin to guai lan so i suggest making a big turn towards the school....and then detour to BP. lol. dat was quite stupid, but quite farni. we pass the bus stop n people who recognize " oi " at us. feel quite diao and farni lol. seriously.

if you're from BP and u're walking to lot 1 one day, you might see us cox i predict that on days where we haf limited time we wud probably be cyclin around dat area! lol....dats one gud reason to walk! jk jk.

so finally, after enduring the LARGE uphill section from BP to jelapang, it totally burned my thighs (im nt that weak period, but read on..)..., we fianlly reached glenn;'s house. with wp n glenn waitin outside his house, and they wanna immediately CONTINUE the journey. then mi n wr were like..." ahhh we nid a break ", but well, we continued.

next we went to BP plaza to meet dex. who went to repair his specs? then wz and jeremy was with him. they're joining him. lol. n dex recruited jeremy into clan lego known as lego.gluttinousrice, (aka jia lor me, jeremy lol!). so we decided to cycle to mandai zoo!

we took the way via stagmont ring. behind my house dere. on to woodlands area. the journey was memorable, and quite difficult for a n00b for me. at that time, my legs couldn't take it liao. n guess what? onli half the journey, i realized my tires had no air and i needed ALOT of xtra effort to cycle my bike. that hurts. realli. i was laggin real bad. and thanks to wz for keepin mi company for being sweeper.

so there was lots of UPHILL all the way to the mandai zoo. my legs almost gaf up halfway up a hill but i perservered and managed to reach the top. thanks 2 glenn n wz for volunteering to change bikes for awhile wif mi.

so after like 45 minutes, we finally reached our destination. the REAL, unVIRTUAL thing, the mandai zoo!. we parked our bikes dere n went into KFC to eat. (yeah the zoo's KFC). they bought meals to eat but i just bought the biggest pepsi i cud see. WOOTS! that felt so shuang.
we chat a lil, den we prepared to embark on the tedious journey home..

well, it was ALOT better than the journey there..

so we headed back. lots of uphill at the coming so means lots of downhill back...WOOT. lemme tell u finally i felt that climbing the uphills is worth it. cox the downhill is just too shuang! but my chain became lose and made alot farni sounds.....

but it didn't stop me from continuing. FINALLY we reached a petrol stand n found a bike pump there. seriously, i din noe who's idea it was. but it saved my arse! thankS!. pumping air is FOC too. woot! so we all got our bikes pumped up! (literally and figuratively!), stocked up on some water and proceeded home. the journey home took us less than the journey to the zoo. haha. and it was enjoyable!!

my wheels suddenly feel so good, pedals feel so light and i feel as though i have been reincarnated....

anyway here r the highlights. and difficult journeys

Difficult areas of the "course"

BUMP paradise
A 20-30 metre long stretch of SUPER bumping road. with tiles on the road all messed up, and all displaced from the ground. it felt as though an earthquake had occured there. it was impossible to drive straight!! seriously, and all of us where like "uh-oh uh oh...ahhh" all the way....bumps r good,. but not twhen they r continousy. some really hurt bad, even with my suspension, i pity wr n dex. damn trees! erosion oso no nid so kua zhang right..learn to control ur roots man!

The leg breaker
It seemed not really difficult, but climbing hills three continously times is nt as ez as u think. esp to amateur cyclist like us. and wif a bike without AIR, it's SUPER hard. i think it was ten times more beneficial than goin to the gym....esp the amount of strenght n endurance i had to put in....
it was almost all the way UPHILL to the zoo!

Puddle of SHIT
There was lik oil/greese on the floor, or whatever shit brown stuff. strechted over 2 metres. wz n the other went on the outside road..so they din suffer from it. but when i passed it, the rapid motion of the wheels cause these SHIT to splatter all over. it wasn't really torturing, but it felt dirty n disgusting. i had some splattered all over my shirt. YIKES!

Lol basically thats all. i think cycling on the double yellow line on the road is quite fun. seriously. i love cycling man! well, maybe i exaggerated it. on the journey dere i was lik kinda regretting. this is the first mission i haf completed. nxt time to woodlands? jurong point? buikit timah! im goin to join in! woots
