Happy birthday to my homeland - Singapore. My homeland is celebrating its 40th birthday at the Padang today. However, I was not in celebration mood. Together with my biking buddies, we decided to ride our bikes as close to the Padang as possible hoping that the celebration mood will rub on us. While riding on my bike, I could see a sea of heads infront of me. They were all heading towards a common direction - Padang. Some traffic junctions were blocked off so we had no choice but to take a longer route to Marina Park which is our destination. We arrived there within minutes and had a new task at hand. Where are we going next? On impulse, we choosen Kalang. This is because of the prospect of having satay for dinner which tempt us to cycle to that faraway location. However, we were disappointed that the Satay store was closed. We had no complains whatsoever. We ordered drinks, take a break and were soon on the bikes heading towards a new location. The next stop - Bugis Junction. We locked our bikes at Bugis Village and took advantage of the air-conditional environment there. One embarrassing incident happened. We went into a cafe, seat down, argued over what to eat, decided the food is too expensive, bought some cookies and went out of the show without buying anything else. We spend quite sometime at the cafe seating thought. We went over to Bugis Junction to do some window-shopping ( strange for guys to have this habit? ). After we had enough rest, we got up the bike again and head towards Orchard Road. We were just in time to see the arrival of all the significant vehicles that Sinapore process ( Actually, we had no choice because the traffic was blocked to let them pass). It was a fasinating sight as those vehicles rarely go out for display to the public. Not forgeting the spectacular air display by our Singapore Air Force. After all the vehicles passed, I request to cycle to Holland. We were already weary and our leg muscles tired from all the cycling we had done but we still preserved with our journey. In the end, we went to the toilet in Holland V to refill our water bottles. I been wanting to find a Pet Shop but upon seeing how hugh Holland is, I gave up. I been scolded by my buddies but we had a good laugh out if it. Our next stop - Tea Garden at Farrer Road. We had not eaten much for today and our hunger bought us here. We ate like we never eaten for the past few days. We discussed about trip today and we expected responses saying that it was impossible for us to cycle to Kalang from Redhill. Does this means that we had done something impossible? I will be proud of this achievement if it is view by many as impossible. After our meal, we decided to cycle home as we had tolerated the sore in our legs and it will get unbearable soon. We reached home at 10pm. This meant that we had cycle from 4 to 10pm, an astonishing 6 hours. This 6 hours had bought us to many place which others deemed impossible to go without the help of public transport. Let our next trip bring us to Jurong and maybe further.
